Yes, the amount is excessive. But IS IT when your husband-to-be is a billionaire? Who's looking at price tags when you have all those zeros at the end of your bank account statement?

Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault are planning a spring wedding and reports are claiming that they couple is spending an estimated $3.5 million. Sources tell the National Enquirer that the 46-year-old French boss of fashion houses Gucci, Yves St. Laurent and Balenciaga will dig deep for a five-day-long wedding ceremony in St. Tropez, France.

"It took Francois over a year to get Salma to agree to marry him, and he doesn’t want to spare any expense. Francois basically gave her the key to the vault and said, ‘Go wild.’"

Imagine someone handing you a credit card and telling you to "Go Wild". I don't know what I would do. So dangerous!

The tabloid claims the pair will fly their friends in on private jets; put them up in luxury resorts; spend $500,000 on a wedding dress and almost $1 million on flowers.

Salma Hayek indulged in a day a retail therapy. She disappeared into Fred Segal on Melrose and later emerged with 2 large shopping bags. I wonder what she bought. I’m always curious as to what celebrities splurge on when they go shopping.

It feels like just yesterday Salma had that beautiful baby girl of hers and now she’s already back to her svelte body. Look at her tiny waist and lean legs! She must have worked her buns off to get in shape that fast. What a knock-out!

The stars were out in full force for the Women in Film's 2008 Crystal Lucy Awards 'A Black and White Gala.' There were too many to put in the post title so I'll just list them.

• Salma Hayek
• Rumer Willis
• Nicole Richie
• Cameron Diaz
• Meg Ryan
• Debra Messing
  
• Eva Mendes

I am a little curious as to why this was a black and white gala when nobody is dressed according to theme...

But anyways, let's talk fashion. I LOVE Eva's whole outfit. She's my favorite look of the night, what about you?

Salma Hayek was all smiles as she arrived to the Cannes Film Festival premiere of the highly anticipated, Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I loved Salma's green gown and I think she looked superb. What do you all think of it? Anyone else as excited about this movie as I am? I admit I'm a huge Indiana Jones fan, not to mention Shia LeBeouf. ;)

Seeing Salma Hayek out with her daughter Valentina Paloma Pinault is like eating something you rarely do but love. Such a treat! A lot of the other celebrity babies are constantly photographed and while it's always nice to see their dimpled cheeks, you take it for granted. Valentina is rarely seen out so what a pleasure to find her as adorable as ever. Here she is with her mother at LAX. Bauer Griffin

Salma Hayek enjoyed an afternoon of shopping at Bottega Veneta in Beverly Hills yesterday. Salma has four new movies coming out, one of them is called, "Beverly Hills Chihuahua". It's about a Chihuahua named Chloe who is vacationing in Mexico and gets lost. Drew Barrymore is the voice of Chloe and Jamie Lee Curtis is also in the movie. It sounds cute... Something I'm sure my kids would enjoy.Bauer Griffin

Right now it's hot in Hollywood to say you don't believe in marriage.  Penelope Cruz was the most recent celebrity to join the club, right after her pal Salma Hayek also spoke out about having no plans to wed her baby daddy.  Salma said,

"I don't have a need for marriage. You want to grow old with someone, you want to have a partner and to have children - we have all those things. Some people need the commitment. Maybe we'll just make the party!"

And Penelope was right after her saying,

"I would love to have children some day, but not for now. I don't know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, in love, in children. It depends on the situation but nowadays I am not sure what marriage is for."

So many other celebrities have talked about this same subject, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt as well as Scarlett Johansson have also made similar statements. What do you think?

Some parents just want ten fingers and ten toes, others are more specific.  I have a friend who is pregnant and she has her heart set on a blond haired little girl...we'll see how that works out :)  Salma Hayek has recently said that she was hoping to have a boy but now that she has little Valentina she wouldn't what it any other way.

"I have something to confess, I wanted a boy. Probably because I was afraid. I think women suffer a bit more than boys, and there is always conflict between mothers and daughters. But now that she's here, I'm so happy she's a girl. And I can't imagine there ever being conflict between us, because I'm in a state of innocence where I love everything she does."

For those of you with kids, did you have a preference on boy or girl before you found out the sex?

I just keep finding more and more pictures from this event....everyone in Hollywood was the Benefit for Art of Elysium yesterday.  Here we have the beautiful Salma Hayek, Michelle Trachtenberg and Kate Beckinsale. Any of the outfits in particular that you love or hate?
