Kirstie Alley is the incredible shrinking woman!

Regardless of whether or not she wins the Mirror Ball Trophy at the end of this seasons Dancing with the Stars, it looks like Kirstie Alley is going to depart from the show a winner. The sixty year old actress claims to have gone from a size twelve to a size six which by the look of things seems to be slightly exaggerated but she still looks fabulous!!

Alley is following in the footsteps of celebrities like Disney star Kyle Massey who lost eighteen pounds from dancing on the show and Kelly Osbourne reportedly lost forty two pounds after her stint on the show during season nine.

With all the rigorous exercise contestants are subjected to on a weekly basis, it’s no surprise that practice sessions will not only help you become a better dancer but also a healthier one. Unless of course you are Bristol Palin.

Russell Brand rides the waves on South Beach

How is it possible that Russell Brand has made his way to Miami and I have not been contacted to be his official welcome wagon? This is the second time (that I know of!) that he has taken a trip to my neighborhood and hasn’t had the decency to call a sista up?!

It’s ok Rusty, I will forgive because at the very least you had the decency to rock a pair of short blue shorts while riding a jet ski with some buddies on Thursday, May 5th, 2011. Does this mean the newly married Brit might be checking out some Miami hot spots to celebrate Cinco de Mayo?

If any of you guys spot him out there, let me know!

Zoe Saldana seeks revenge in “Colombiana” trailer

Hollywood has often featured scary creatures for little kids to fear in their movies. It’s about time someone showed a pissed off Latina, which in my mind, is a lot scarier than aliens or massive craters about to hit the Earth at high speeds! For those of you who don’t agree, it’s obvious you did NOT have a Hispanic mother.

In the brand new trailer for the movie Colombiana, you meet Cataleya Restrepo (Zoe Saldana). A woman hell bent on avenging the murder of her parents, who were taken out in front of her eyes at the age of nine. She is molded into an assassin and will stop at nothing short of revenge.

Zoe is stepping to center stage in this dramatic thriller and I have no doubt that this role will catapult her into super stardom. You go girl!

You can catch Colombiana when it hits theaters on September 2nd, 2011.

Does the new Lady Gaga “Judas” video shock you?

For those of you who were thinking that you would have to wait until almost midnight tonight to watch Lady Gaga’s new music video for “Judas” are dead wrong! There has been a leak over at Camp Gaga and we have the video evidence to prove it! (as long as it hasn’t been taken down by the time you read this!)

The video in its entirety is set at seven minutes and this “teaser” is only slightly over five minutes but for now it will have to do.

Mother Gaga has gone on record to say the final product is not a religious statement but we rather let you guys be the judge. So hurry up and watch it….right now before its gone!!

Olivia Wilde is seeing red on Glamour Magazine cover

Girl Gone Wilde! If you know her only as the sexy-brilliant doctor from House, get ready for the summer of Olivia. With two new movies about to drop—and a royal divorce behind her—Olivia Wilde is hitting it big. TV’s hot doc appears on Glamour’s June cover wearing an Enza Costa navy-and-white-striped T-shirt over an Eres Paris red bikini, a gold link Cartier bracelet and Barbara D’Oro bangle. Photographed by Ben Watts in Los Angeles with her furry white dog Paco by her side, Olivia danced on set and munched on vegan treats between takes.

Inside the issue, Olivia is shown in a Michael Kors red gown and a Charlotte Bjorlin Delia gold and silver cuff. She also wears a Marc by Marc Jacobs red-and-white-striped bikini under a white Dior peacoat and a nautical-themed dress by Junya Watanabe Comme des Garçons. The issue will be available on newsstands nationwide on May 10 and digitally (iPad and Barnes & Noble Nook Color) on May 16.

Check out what Olivia shared with Glamour:

Olivia Wilde on what she learned from her mother…
“She’s gorgeous, and she taught me that a real feminist doesn’t apologize for her beauty. You can be a sexy, beautiful woman and be the smartest person in the room.”

Olivia Wilde on growing up around movie stars…
“I remember Mick Jagger [talking] politics with my parents…. At 13 I came to L.A. for a press junket, and it was this magical land of palm trees and George Clooney. But [then] I saw George talking to my dad about politics, and I thought what makes these people special is that they’re not just actors…. I saw people being valued for their intelligence and their interests as opposed to their stardom. It was instilled in us that stardom is meaningless.”

Olivia Wilde on her relationship with ex-husband Tao Ruspoli…
“The mark of a good marriage is partnership and continuing to feel inspired by your spouse. I had that with Tao. But the end is not necessarily the tragedy. Staying in a relationship that is no longer working is the tragedy. Living unhappily—that’s the tragedy.”

“We got engaged at Burning Man and married on a school bus. We were not conventional.”

Olivia Wilde on dating again…
“I’m opening up my heart to the idea of dating. It’s funny—my friends would always come to me for romantic advice, [but] I know nothing, and things have changed since I was dating in high school! I’m really trying hard to spend this time working on myself.”
“I wish I could play the field. But it’s so not me. I go 100 percent into everything. And I’m a really good girlfriend.”

REVIEW: Glee “Rumours”

Cats with funny names make me smile so to kick off this week’s Glee with Brittany’s fat feline friend Lord Tubbington was a sure way to get me in the mood for some cheesy fun, and boy did they deliver. Glee is best when it can balance the ridiculous silliness with some real drama and with “Rumours” we got a good helping of both as well as Sue Sylvester in drag. Good times were had by all!

Nina Dobrev stays cool in a maxi dress

Keeping her style Earthy and comfy, Nina Dobrev was photographed near a parking garage in Los Angeles, California on Wednesday, May 4th, 2011. The Vampire Diaries starlet wore a pretty patterned maxi dress with her wavy locks flowing loose below her shoulders.

The maxi is one of the most versatile additions to any girls closet since you could dress it up or down depending on where you are going. Nina could have easily worn this look on a shopping trip or for a casual lunch date, maybe with boyfriend and fellow co-star Ian Somerhalder!

I picked out a few dresses that are all under $50 that you might want to add to your Spring/Summer outfits. Some even feature some of the seasons other hot trends including color blocking, fun colors, and patterns.

Hope you like them!
