Miranda, Alessandra, Adriana, and More Angels Get Sexy For Victoria's Secret
Victoria's Secret models Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Adriana Lima reconvened in LA for the reveal of the brand's What Is Sexy? list last night. They were joined again by Erin Heatherton and Candice Swanepol after the group of lovely ladies got together for a photo shoot at The Grove earlier in the day. The Angels have been making rounds to promote Victoria's Secret's Bombshell Summer and MiRanda hosted her own pool party on Wednesday to kick off the week of press. She shared her thoughts on being a bombshell, but also touched on her experience as a new mom. MiRanda, Adriana, and Alessandra all have motherhood in common while keeping up their sexy status as VS Angels. Also on hand were Something Borrowed's Colin Egglesfield, Kellan Lutz, and Paris Hilton.
Gisele Bundchen Hits the Runway in Bras and Lingerie
Gisele Bundchen went from sassy to sweet in a series of sexy pieces of lingerie at the Hope Valentine's Day special collection fashion show in Sao Paolo, Brazil, Thursday. The supermodel and mom showed off her very super figure as she strutted her stuff in sky-high heels and next-to-nothing looks. It's been a big week of appearances for Gisele, who attended a charity event with husband Tom Brady, and was honored for her environmental work at more than one event in NYC. As part of her role as UN environmental goodwill ambassador, Gisele Bundchen also starred in a cute video challenging Don Cheadle to a "pledge off." Her stay on the East Coast came to an end when she had to head back to her native Brazil to hit the runway. It's her second time to Sao Paolo in as many weeks, as she debuted her Gisele Bundchen clothing line in a department store there at the end of April.
Diane Kruger Stays Sunny in Cannes
Diane Kruger checked out the scene at the Cannes Film Festival today. She kept it more casual with her bright red sunglasses and hat after a glamorous last night. Diane Kruger's hairstyle paired perfectly with her stunning gold gown at the premiere of Sleeping Beauty yesterday afternoon. She's in town as part of her role as a L'Oreal global ambassador, so after the red carpet she and Joshua Jackson hit up the beauty brand's penthouse party overlooking the city. She slipped into a very sexy black jumpsuit for the event and stayed cuddled close to Joshua when she wasn't posing for pictures. Diane always says she has a soft spot for the French festival, since it's where she did her first red carpet many years ago, and she looks right at home in the glamorous locale.
Ryan Reynolds Touches Down and Fires Up a TV Production Company
Ryan Reynolds was a welcome sight touching down at LAX yesterday. He's been out of the spotlight since appearing at WonderCon in SF last month, but we're about to be seeing a whole lot more of him with the worldwide promotional tour for Green Lantern. The newest Green Lantern shows more of what we can expect when it hits the big screen on June 17, and before then there will be red carpets and appearances galore for the sexy actor. For one, Ryan Reynolds and his leading lady in the movie Blake Lively will be presenting together at the MTV Movie Awards on June 5. Even with his busy movie schedule, Ryan somehow found a way to add another project to his plate. Ryan Reynolds is launching a TV production company called DarkFire alongside Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps writer Alan Loeb. Ryan got his big break on TV with Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place and apparently DarkFire will focus on sitcoms. With all that in the works, it'd be hard to fit in a love life, though things are apparently going strong with his German model girlfriend. According to rumors, Ryan's trying to cast Agnes Fischer in R.I.P.D, which he starts shooting soon.
Lady Gaga Splits From Luc Carl
"Bad Romance," indeed.
Lady Gaga, 25, has ended her on-and-off relationship with Luc Carl, the singer announced Thursday on England's The Graham Norton Show.
PHOTOS: Lady Gaga's craziest hairstyles
"I don't have a boyfriend and haven't been on any dates recently," the pop star said.
The couple split several years ago before rekindling their romance in July 2010. Despite their breakup, the "Judas" singer credits Carl, a musician and bartender, for helping her become "successful" in the music industry.
"I've really never loved anyone like I loved him. Or like I love him," she told Rolling Stone last year. "That relationship really shaped me. I sort of resolved that if you can't have the guy of your dreams, there are other ways to give love."
American Idol's Top Three: Who Will Win?
And then there were three.
With James Durbin shockingly out of the running as of Thursday night, Haley Reinhart, Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina are left vying for the season 10 title on American Idol.
As the remaining contestants return to their hometowns for what's sure to be an emotional episode next week, Idol fans may still be scratching their heads and wondering who will win.
Scotty's country crooning has earned him fans on the judges' panel, with Randy Jackson declaring him "ready" for superstardom. Lauren's southern belle-charm and crystalline harmony makes her an America's sweetheart-in-the-making. And, despite occasional mixed reviews from judges this week, Haley has proved herself a determined fighter with powerhouse vocals and plenty of soul.
Meet Andrew Firestone's Daughter Anja
The C-section was scheduled for April 15, but there was still a surprise in store when Andrew Firestone's wife of nearly three years, Ivana, gave birth to their second child.
"We were convinced it was a boy. My gut told me for sure it was," the former Bachelor star, 35, tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now).
Instead, the two were shocked to learn that the brother they were expecting for two-year-old Brooks turned out to be a sister. "Talk about not having any mother's intuition!" Ivana, 33, laughs.
Fortunately, the happily married couple had a name picked out just in case: Anja Jasmine.
"Anya is the name of my mom's best friend when she danced in the Royal Ballet," Andrew explains. "But since Ivana is Serbian, we adopted the Serbian spelling. And Jasmine is the American version of Ivana's mother's name, Jasmina."
How Penelope Cruz Shed Her Baby Weight
It's hard to imagine that Penelope Cruz was Nine months pregnant just four months ago.
After all, the 37-year-old actress -- who welcomed son Leo with husband Javier Bardem on January 22 -- has been flaunting her incredible post-baby body in a series of figure-hugging dresses since February's Academy Awards.
How did the Spanish beauty get back into shape so quickly? "I love ballet and it's a little boring for me to go to the gym because I'm used to the dancing discipline," Cruz tells The Daily Mirror. "It's really hard but much more fun."
The Oscar winner hasn't skimped on her favorite foods, either. "I love Spanish food. My diet is the Mediterranean diet, which is good food. I eat well, but I try to eat healthy."

Cruz, who was pregnant while filming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, says she told the crew about her situation early on. "They were very caring. It was funny to be dressed as a tough pirate but being treated with delicacy by everybody," she laughs. "I had to learn to sword fight, too. I'd trained for two months before we started shooting."
Caleb Followill Marries Model Lily Aldridge
The King now has a Queen.
Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill, 29, married model Lily Aldridge, 25, on Thursday in California, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.
"It was a perfect day," says Followill.
The couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony with just family in attendance at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, Calif., at 5:30 p.m..
The bride wore a custom made strapless Vera Wang gown with layers of chantilly and corded lace appliqué and raw edge swirling chiffon detail at the back. The groom wore a Gucci suit.
The couple, engaged since last fall, plan to have a larger party at a later date following their small, intimate ceremony, the groom's bandmate and brother Jared recently told PEOPLE.
Aldridge has already been welcomed into the Followill family with open arms. Says Jared: "We love her!"
Kings of Leon hits the road again in late May in support of their latest album, Come Around Sundown.
Sofia Vergara Named New Face of COVERGIRL!
We could not think of anyone easier, breezier or more beautiful than Colombian actress Sofia Vergara so we can't say we're in the least bit surprised that she has been named the newest face of COVERGIRL cosmetics!
She just tweeted her big announcement: "My BIG news!! So happy to be the new @covergirl !!!#spon"
The Modern Family actress and mother, 38, is currently shooting her first ever campaign for the cosmetics company for advertisements that will debut in January 2012. She will be representing some brand new products that Cover Girl is introducing.
"I have loved playing with makeup ever since I was a little girl," Vergara said in a statement. "And now, I am so honored to join the line up of extraordinary women that are and have been COVERGIRLs, and to be a part of a brand that is so committed to helping women look and feel beautiful."
Sofia has been having an amazing year! She was nominated for a Golden Globe and Emmy for her work on her hit TV comedy, was named one of People magazine's 50 most beautiful people and has been recognized by both the Hollywood Reporter and Billboard as one of the most infuential Latinas in Hollywood.
Shakira, Piqué very publicly in lust
Shakira's tour through Europe appears impossible without her hubby, Gerard Piqué. Although we saw her arrive alone in Italy without her boyfriend, it seems that was only for a few hours, given each other's busy work schedules.
The Barraquilla, Colombia singer was photographed in one of Italy's exclusive hotels accompanied by Piqué, who didn't waste any time after soccer matches in Madrid, no doubt to travel to support his love on tour at one of her concerts in heavily fan-based Italy.
The couple allows free reign of their love wherever they are and, contrary to what many people have thought, they don't really hide their romance.
Shakira had been extremely guarded about her love interests, particularly with her relationship with former beau and manager, Argentine Antonio de la Rúa, and on rare occasions did we see her so publicly affectionate. She's been quite public about her passion for Piqué, as seen in this video aired by 'Al Rojo Vivo' on Telemundo.
Duff McKagan gives us the lowdown on reuniting with Axl Rose, his band's new CD, and how to invest your poker winnings
by Clark Collis
Categories: Guns N' Roses, Q&A, Rock Stars Say the Darndest Things
Duff McKagan is best known for playing bass for Guns N’ Roses in their Appetite for Destruction heyday—a period during which McKagan abused his body so badly that his pancreas ultimately exploded.
These days, McKagan’s extracurricular activities are of a more sober stripe: He has written about finance for Playboy; regularly contributes columns to both ESPN.com and Seattle Weekly; and is even now available for hire as a public speaker.
“I spoke to a bunch of businessmen in Seattle,” says McKagan. “Titans of industry. The thing is that business and success, and how hard it is, doesn’t look any different whether you’re playing a gig at eleven o’clock at night or you’re going to work at nine in the morning at a law firm. So I talk about that. But ultimately all those guys want to know about is how many chicks I’ve f—ed!”
The man is also still rocking hard as the frontman for his band, Duff McKagan’s Loaded, whose latest CD, The Taking, is out tomorrow. After the jump, McKagan talks about his new release, his forthcoming memoir, his recent reunion with Axl Rose, and why he is very much not “the Bernie Madoff of metal.”
Entertainment Weekly: A lot of the lyrics on The Taking are quite bleak...
Duff McKagan: Yeah. Fairly sinister. [Laughs] A band like us, we’re on a bus and we’re together all the time. So within your bus, it’s very public. There’s no secrets. And one of the guys on our bus was going through a very heavy marriage dilemma. We knew both of them very well. We saw all the stages of it falling apart and couldn’t comment on it either way.
So when you’re just sitting there, witnessing the deal, it affects you. [It's about] the kind of anger that happens right before [people split up] and right after and then the sort of reconciliation and the victory of getting through for both of them.
What’s the track “Cocaine” about? Or is that a dumb question?
It’s the one sort of autobiographical song on there. It’s about my year of 1993. 1993 was when I quit cocaine: “F— this stuff.” But of course my alcohol level went even higher. My mantra was, “At least I quit cocaine.” Everybody else was, going, “Yeah, but...” I wouldn’t hear it. “I quit cocaine! I’m drug free!”
You’re also making a film based on the CD?
We came up with the idea on too much coffee one morning: “This album’s cinematic. We gotta make a movie!” The premise is really oddball and screwy. Our drummer gets kidnapped and we have to pay ransom and the gig’s that night. We’re referencing a lot of films like The Warriors. It’s supposed to be a good bit of fun.
And you guys are acting? Because you were in an episode of Sliders, right?
Exactly. Um, there’s a little bit of dialog. But really the musics going to do most of the talking.
You’ve been writing your autobiography. What has that experience been like that?
It’s not really an autobiography. It’s about how does a guy become completely f—ing addicted. My career and drugs and stuff started pretty early and then escalated. I take the reader through that process and then my fall and then the hospital and then, way more important than all of that, is my coming out [of it]. I wouldn’t want to write the book again. Some of it was painful, some of it was pretty f—ing funny. But at least I was honest.
Did you remember it all?
You don’t have to remember it all. It’s not like gig by gig. It’s actually my memories. But the editor would go, “Um, you weren’t there then. You were actually in Greece. You weren’t in f—ing Japan!”
Have you read Keith Richards’ book?
No, it’s on my Kindle waiting list. I’m deep into Suttree by Cormac McCarthy. It’s bleak!
You also written a lot about money matters. I won a bunch of money at poker last week. What should I do with it?
Give it all to me. It’s not lost, it’s just with me. You see? You understand that, right?
You’re like the Bernie Madoff of metal!
No, I am not! God, that guy. More of those guys should be in jail, those Wall Street guys.
So what should I do with my money?
At this very moment? You want to save it for how long?
Maybe a year.
Oh, just put it in a treasury Bill, then.
Not stocks and shares?
You don’t know where it’s going to be in a year. I would say if it was 20 years, ten years, yeah, the stock market. But if you’re talking about a year, it’s too risky, too volatile.
What’s the current status with Velvet Revolver, now that Scott Weiland has left?
I don’t know
Miranda Lambert & Blake Shelton Tie The Knot!
Ready to spend the rest of their days with one another, Miranda Lambert married Blake Shelton during a ceremony held at the Don Strange Ranch in Texas on Saturday night (May 14).
The country singer donned her mother's wedding dress as she exchanged vows with her "The Voice" star hubby in front of 550 loved ones including fellow celebs such as Cee Lo Green, Martina McBride and Reba McEntire, according to Us magazine.
Making for the first marriage for Lambert and second for Shelton, Miranda joyously told Us after the ceremony, "I'm married to my best friend! Looking forward to a lifetime of laughter."
Sharing the same excitement as his beautiful bride, Blake added, "I wanted to be married to Miranda the day I proposed. Finally, it's official!"
Having first started dating back in 2006, the cute couple got engaged last Mother's Day while staying in Oklahoma near Miranda's home - with Blake thoughtfully asking her father's blessing before popping the question.
Jenna Fischer Is Pregnant!
After becoming an aunt recently, Jenna Fischer acknowledged, "I already wanted kids, but even more so now."
Her wish is coming true.
The Office star, 37, and her husband Lee Kirk are expecting their first child, a rep for Fischer confirms to PEOPLE.
Fischer and Kirk were engaged in 2009 while both were vacationing in Europe and got married last July, with Survivor's Jeff Probst officiating the ceremony.
Fischer already has some experience in mommyhood. Her character Pam Beesly on NBC's hit show had a baby with her on-screen hubby Jim Halpert, played by John Krasinski.
Rihanna and Chris Brown Following Each Other on Twitter
Now that the restraining order against him has been relaxed, Chris Brown is taking advantage of it and getting closer to Rihanna -- on the Internet.
On Saturday, it was noticed that the R&B singer -- who viciously beat his then-girlfriend in his car the night of the 2009 Grammys -- recently started following Rihanna on Twitter. More shocking, she's also now following her abusive ex.
When a Rihanna fan tweeted her about it and asked if it meant that she and Brown were getting back together, the Barbadian beauty, 23, seemed pretty peeved about the notion.
"its fu**in twitter, not the alter!" she wrote. "calm down."
After the fan apologized for upsetting her, Rihanna was sorry for the harsh way she reacted -- and then tweeted back to the fan, who claims she's a 14-year-old girl.
"babygirl I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt or offend u! Just needed to make it clear to the Navy [Rihanna fans nickname]...xoxo"
Rihanna then started following the young girl on Twitter, too.
In February, Rihanna asked a judge to lessen the restraining order against Brown, 22, to a level one, which allows him to contact her as long as he doesn't "annoy, molest or harrass" her. At the time, the decision was made to do so because it was keeping Brown from attending and/or performing at award shows that Rihanna was also attending.
The following month, Brown was asked about the domestic abuse incident during an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America." The singer was so upset with "GMA" anchor Robin Roberts' questions, he stormed off the show, broke a window in his dressing room and then ripped off his shirt before security escorted him out.
"I just let off, like, steam in the back," Brown said after the incident. "I didn't physically hurt anyone. I didn't try to hurt anyone. I just released the anger that I had inside me."

In career news, Nick recently wrote and produced the soundtrack for the new Wizard 101 expansion world Wintertusk.
He told press, “This was a first for me. I never produced or wrote music for a game or in this case, a whole world before. So I jumped at the chance to work with KingsIsle. It was very cool to be part of a project that allowed me to help create the mood for Wintertusk and interact with an audience in an entirely new way.”
