Love It Or Hate It: Victoria Beckham

Vera — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 19:00:00 -0500

We need to discuss Victoria Beckham's masculine look in January's Harper's Bazaar. She LOVES changing things up a bit doesn't she? One would expect the celebrity to wear couture in Bazaar. Instead Victoria surprised us all with this blue suit!

Love it or hate it?

Fact or Fiction: Nicole Richie Tells Benji Madden He Could Do Better Than Paris Hilton

Tracee — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 17:36:00 -0500

Well, I guess there's a reason someone coined the term "frenemy," right? Nicole Richie is reportedly telling her daughter's uncle (and her boyfriend, Joel Madden's, twin), Benji Madden, that he "deserves better" than Paris Hilton, her one-time BFF.

Paris' frenemy is 'thrilled that she's gone,' says a source. 'She never thought Paris was ever really into" Benji"

Perhaps Nicole's right. Paris Hilton was apparently spotted having a "quiet dinner" at LA's Koi restaurant with her ex, Stavros Niarchos.

"She was trying to fly below the radar and left alone about 30 minutes later," says another source."

Paris Hilton. Trying to fly below the radar. Even for Star Magazine, that's quite an assertion. The whole story sounds very fishy to me.

However.

Do you think Nicole is right (assuming she's actually saying this)? Is Benji better off with or without Paris?

Christina Aguilera Talks About Baby Number 2 And What A Great Husband She Has

Vera — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 16:15:00 -0500

OK Magazine caught up with Christina Aguilera and got her to open up about her new relationship with Target, baby plans and what a great guy Jordan Bratman really is.

Any plans for a sibling for Max?

I hope so. We definitely want to have another child. Having Max has been an amazing experience. He surprises e every day. In a year, he has grown so much, now he crawls and is starting to walk.

What makes your marriage work?

I have the most wonderful partner in Jordan. We make it a priority to work on our marriage. You have to take it seriously and respect each other and be a team. We always have date nights as well — it helps to keep the marriage alive after you have kids. My husband and I love to play board games together!

What advice would you give to the 20-year-old Christina?

I would have told myself that anything is possible because it is. Also, work hard and trust your instincts.

Why did you decide to exclusively sell your album at Target?

I had worked with Target in the past and I really loved the fact that they listened to me as an artist. I am very particular with my album, from the music to the photos to the ads. Target really allowed me to give my input and put my stamp on the campaign. I shared with them what my inspiration was and they let me run with it.

You've collaborated with Madonna before. She's another working mom, has she inspired you?

Madonna Gets In Good With A-Rod's Kids

Madonna and Alex Rodriguez really aren't wasting any time at all, are they? This relationship seems to be getting serious enough to the point where she's trying to get in good with his little girls Ella and Natasha.

"Madge is so comfortable in the parental role. She also knows how happy it makes Alex when she shows her nurturing side. She picked up a little red Burberry wool coat and a little black Burberry dress for Natasha. She knew Alex will recognise the brand, even if Natasha just thinks it's pretty.

"And for Ella, she ordered a round crib from Bonne Nuit and one of their tables. Alex appreciates it when someone makes an effort and goes out of their way."

Alex has been following Madonna on her tour, accompanying her to various cities and sitting in the wings off stage while she performs to hand her water bottles in between sets. Aww, what a good boyfriend!

When rumors first came out about these two, I really didn't believe it. Now I'm just wondering when they'll make their first red carpet appearance together!

Britney Spears Takes Her Kids To FAO In NYC

Vera — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 10:08:00 -0500

If you have children and plan on visiting NYC this holiday season, getting to FAO Schwartz should be a priority! What a place! Even as an adult you can get lost in the magic.

Britney Spears was spotted taking her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James to FAO with the help of her mother Lynn, father Jamie and several body guards.

Wonder what they came home with?

A New Man For Lauren Conrad?

Vera — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 08:51:00 -0500

I HATE how far behind The Hills show is compared to real life for its stars. Who is this man?! We probably won't find out until next season and then it will be old news.

Lauren Conrad was spotted leaving Crown Bar with a mystery male after a few hours of partying with pals. While they weren't together, Jesse Metcalfe was also at the bar and snapped while exiting.

UPDATE: Readers pointed out that facial hair just threw me off on this one. Looks like it's Kyle Howard.

And since we are talking about celebrities who went out last night, I also attached a few pictures of Nicole Scherzinger outside Eva Longoria's restaurant, Beso in Los Angeles.

Fan Gives Nicole Kidman Flowers On Date Night

Vera — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 08:40:00 -0500

I'm sorry to be so cynical... but I would throw those flowers away in the garbage first chance I had after reading what happened to Simon Cowell! How easy would it be to place a recording device deep inside the bouquet? Seriously - I'm officially paranoid.

While on a date with husband Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman received a beautiful bouquet of flowers from a fan after exiting ÒLa RosettaÓ seafood restaurant.

Suspect...

The couple is currently in town with their daughter Sunday Rose Kidman Urban to attend tonight's premiere of 'Australia'.

Here They Are! Madonna's New Louis Vuitton Ads

Vera — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 08:19:00 -0500

When news first broke that Madonna was going to be the new face for Louis Vuitton next season, many INO readers couldn't understand the selection. Some even went so far to say that the choice of Madonna had a negative brand impact for them.

Is your opinion changing now that you see the actual ads? Does this set of pictures make you want to look into Louis Vuitton's new 2009 line? Or were the initial assumptions on point?

I suppose the look is better than this one.

Celebrities Attend The Grammy Nomination Concert

Vera — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 08:17:00 -0500

When I first started to download the pics for this post, I saw John Mayer and then did a quick scan for Jennifer Aniston. I suppose that wouldn't make sense that she would attend an event with him - even though they are dating. I wish they were that type of couple, but there are so many in Hollywood who also try not to mix business with pleasure, so it's really not a surprise that Jen decided against it. What a shame too! Jennifer hardly attends red carpet events these days and it would be a nice change of pace to get her posing once again.

Several celebrities walked the red carpet for The GRAMMY nominations concerts live, celebrating the grand opening of the Grammy museum in Los Angeles.

Check out Christina Aguilera! She looks amazing in that dress. Wow - the entire look really works for her. Would you consider her a Fashion Star? I'm asking because in a few days I am going to launch The Second Annual Obsessies and don't know whether or not I should include her in the category. Leave your comment on this post to help me decide.

Here she is performing a Nina Simone song at the concert.

Besides John and Christina, Toccara Jones, Taylor Swift, Ne-Yo, and Natalie Cole also attended the launch.
