Kim Raver And Her New Man

He's A Cutie
Friday, July 4th, 2008

Last weekend we saw a bunch of REALLY SUPER HAWT photos of Kim Raver and her hot co-star Robert Buckley on the NYC set of their show Lipstick Jungle … and today we get to see a couple more pics of Kim with an even cuter guy — her son Leo Kipling. Here are pics of Kim and Leo taking a snuggle break in between shots on the set of Lipstick Jungle earlier this week:


I have a huge affinity for Kim since she played the amazing Audrey Raines on 24 for a few seasons (and is rumored to be returning to the show for Day 7 next season) and even more so now that I know that her Lipstick co-star Robert Buckley is such a fox ;) These pics of Kim with her youngest son (she has an older son named Luke, both with her hubby Manuel Boyer) are just too cute to not post. As I mentioned before, I plan to start watching this Lipstick Jungle show to see what all the hullabaloo is all about. Kim rules … I’m looking forward to seeing more of her work.

Lindsay Lohan’s ‘Prom’tastic Birthday

Inside her 22nd birthday party
Friday, July 4th, 2008

Here is a quick follow-up post on Lindsay Lohan’s prom-themed 22nd birthday party which took place at Teddy’s lounge inside The Roosevelt Hotel here in Hollywood, CA on Wednesday night … Marc Malkin from E! News managed to get the inside scoop on what went down at L. Lo’s party which fills in the blanks a bit from what we previously heard went down at the shindig. Additionally, here are a few pics from inside the soiree itself:


The starlet celebrated her 22nd birthday last night with a 1980s prom-themed party at Teddy’s at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The evening started off with a small dinner at nearby Magnolia restaurant… She wore an off-white slip dress during the meal and then headed into a restroom at the party to change into her second outfit: a pink chiffon minidress by Bradley Bayou. Samantha Ronson wore a tuxedo, including a top hat. “Lindsay is drinking a Red Bull with a straw,” one party guest emailed me during the bash. “There are red, silver, light blue and light pink balloons everywhere.” Lohan’s table included an assortment of cupcakes, included an oversize one decorated with a tiara. At about midnight, LiLo was presented with a pink-and-green sheet cake—featuring the iconic Marilyn Monroe photo from The Seven Year Itch—while the 50 or so guests sang “Happy Birthday” … Celeb guests included Joel and Benji Madden, David Spade, Audrina Patridge, Sean Stewart and Evan Ross. E! reality stars (and Lohan family members) Dina and Ali were also there, as was Lindsay’s brother Michael Jr. and his girlfriend. Meanwhile, earlier in the day, Lohan and Ronson had lunch at La Scala in Beverly Hills following a shopping trip to nearby XIV Karat jewelry store. Lohan spent $11,000 on a 16-inch briolette platinum diamond necklace and matching bracelet, according to a source. Ronson is said to have bought a “really beautiful gold bracelet” for the birthday girl.

Aww … it sounds like it was a really fun, really nice party. It’s nice to hear that Lindsay Lohan can party with her friends without overdoing it and taking things too far. It’s encouraging to hear that Linds stuck with the Red Bull all night long. I’m glad that Lindsay is taking care of herself and has managed to find happiness … in whatever form she can find it. She seems really contented with her life and the people surrounding her … it’s just great news all around for her these days. I honestly wasn’t sure if the Hollywood bad girls would be able to turn their lives around so fully, so successfully and so soon. Britney Spears is back on track, even Paris Hilton has settled into a life of normalcy … and now Lindsay, too. 2008 might just go down as the year that the Hollywood “It” Girls actually evolved into good girls.

Ed Westwick: Day Wear, Evening Wear

Hawtness at any time of the day
Friday, July 4th, 2008

The Gossip Girl gang have been scattered all over Manhattan this week either posting for photoshoots, mingling with the fans or actually working on shooting scenes for the show. Of all of the various things going on with the kiddies, I’m most interested in the movements of Ed Westwick, the young chap who plays playboy Chuck Bass on the show. Here are a few pics of Mr. Ed showing off both his day wear look and his evening wear look … in both instances the lad looks ready to shag:


I never knew I’d be a fan of shiny, maroon-colored formal wear but here it is … and here I am. It takes a special person to make semi-reflective clothing really look good — and Ed Westwick is one of those folks. I’m also a fan of the shorty shorts … again, not a good look for everyone and a damn good look for Ed. Penn Badgley may be running around with Blake Lively and Chace Crawford may have stopped running around with JC Chasez but I kinda like Ed single and ready to mingle. It makes the ogling much more palatable.

Gwen Stefani Is Almost Ready

She should be birthin' baby any second now
Friday, July 4th, 2008

Well, it looks like Angelina Jolie isn’t the only pregs celeb who is ready to blow … here are a few new pictures of Gwen Stefani enjoying the summer air in London, England with her first born son Kingston James yesterday afternoon. Gwen looks mere milliseconds from exploding baby all over the place. With Angelina settling down for “weeks” of hospital rest ahead of the birth of her twins, Gwen might actually beat her in the birthin’ race:


You know, not matter what the circumstance, whatever the scenario — Gwen Stefani always manages to look her absolute cutest. I’m sure Gwen is pretty much ready to have this baby and be done with pregnancy (hopefully, for a little while) so she might not feel at her peak condition … and yet, she still looks amazing. I suspect that Gwen will be blowin’ up any day now … hopefully she can hold off until sometime next week … I think July 12 would be a great day for a birthday :)
