Britney Spears may be trying to teach model Brandon Stoughton a thing or two about how to treat women in her new music video for Womanizer but it turns out that she wasn’t the first popstar to have an association with the lad. It turns out that Lance Bass has already forged a friendship with Brandon well before he became the Womanizer guy:

Yes ladies, I’m sorry to inform y’all that Brandon Stoughton is far from being a womanizer. I’ve heard from a few people (including friends of mine) that Brandon isn’t really interested in womanizing any ladies at all … if you get my drift ;) Hee hee … and you know that Lance Bass ain’t gonna let a prime piece of hunk like this escape his watchful eye. It appears that Lance and Brandon are pretty good friends from the looks of this friendly photo. Le sigh. Some guys have all the luck.

Oh and in case y’all forgot how hawt Brandon Stoughton looks in Britney’s new Womanizer music video, you can click HERE to watch it again ;)

Hold up, waitaminute … now, it’s one thing for 20-year old Justin Gaston to be creepin’ around with the almost 16-year old Miley Cyrus (not that it’s necessarily appropriate but it’s not absolutely unheard of) but why in the world do you suppose that Justin would be hanging out with Miley’s 8-year old younger sister Noah? To be clear, I’m not implying that anything grossly inappropriate might be going on here (after all, they’re only enjoying a bike ride together) but I’m having a hard time understanding why a 20-year old guy has nothing better to do than hang out with children like this:

WTF?! My guess is that Justin is merely trying to get in as good as he can with the entire Cyrus family so that he can possibly become one of them. I just don’t understand, I guess, why a virile 20 year old guy would even be interested. Gaston’s whole association with the Cyrus family just seems very odd to me and these photos of Justin bike riding with the littlest Cyrus daughter and the boyfriend of the middle Cyrus daughter are the oddest of them all. What do y’all think … am I the only one that thinks this whole Gaston/Cyrus involvement is really weird?

Last weekend new claims came to light that insisted that married couple Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley (of Sum 41) were headed for splitsville … so, to curb those reports, the couple stepped out arm in arm from Madeo restaurant here in LA last night — which clearly proves that the couple are still happily together:

Avril Lavigne and her rocker husband Deryck Whibley put on a united front for the press as they stepped out for dinner in Los Angeles on Monday amid rumours of a marriage split. The couple, who wed in 2006, was alleged to be on the verge of breaking-up, with the National Enquirer claiming Lavigne and Whibley “have been growing apart for months”. But the Sk8er Boi singer and the Sum 41 frontman defied critics when they emerged from Madeo restaurant on Monday night holding hands after enjoying a dinner date. Lavigne and Whibley have yet to confirm or deny the reports, and a spokesperson for the couple had yet to return requests for comment …

Why comment? Doesn’t hand-holding and eating out tell the tale? Whew, I now know that I can sleep soundly at night knowing these two are still happily attached. Who’s with me?

LA Fashion Week is already well underway and tonight will be Lauren LC Conrad’s time to shine as she reveals her new Spring/Summer 2009 fashion line at Smashbox Studios. For those of you who will not be attending LC’s fashion show tonight, you’ll be able to click HERE tomorrow to see all of the fashions that will make their way down the runway later on today. Or, you can just check out these preview pics from LC’s S/S ‘09 collection:

From the press release: The Lauren Conrad Collection – Spring/Summer 2009

Silhouettes include a variation of dresses in maxi lengths, strapless, halter, and natural waist fitting styles. There are one piece body suits as layering pieces. Ruffles, ruching, pleating and open back details are seen throughout the collection.

HMMM … is it just me or is there some difficulty differentiating between these new designs and LC’s previous designs. They all look the same to me. Sure there are some differences but really, long flowy dresses and short flirty skirts seem to be the staple. I dunno … I guess the outfits are cute. I wonder what Heidi Montag thinks of this new collection and when her new designs for Anchor Blue will be announced.

Here are a couple new photos of Johnny Depp as he made his way into an office building here in SoCal this past weekend. It’s the first time that we’ve seen the man out and about since word broke that he may be making approximately $55 million dollars to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in future installments of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise:

Even tho it’s not particularly a style that I might aspire to emulate, I can absolutely appreciate that Johnny Depp has a look of his own. Never one to really fall prey to the whims of fashion trends (tho, the hat might be a nod to the new hat fashion trend that men are rockin’ these days), Johnny always manages to show off a look of his very own. His vintage outfits belie the fact that he is a man that can command upwards of $50 million dollars for a single movie role. You gotta respect a person who doesn’t have to show off his worth in the clothes that he wears. I guess this is why Johnny Depp is so beloved among fans and critics.

BTW … anyone know where I can get a dapper hat like this one?

Things were pretty quiet for me yesterday. I had an appointment in the afternoon and then had to run a quick errand at VW in Santa Monica, CA (needed to pick up an iPod cable for my new baby) and that was pretty much my day. Sadly, I noticed the plumes of black smoke wafting into the air from the Northern section of The Valley which are currently on fire. There are so many amazing things about living in SoCal but the wildfires are not one of them. I’m very lucky to live in an area unaffected by the wildfires but it’s a very ominous and sad thing to see smoke wafting thru the air, especially when that smoke is coming from uncontrolled fires that are destroying people’s homes.

David will arrive here in LA tomorrow evening and I still have a few things to take care of here at the homestead. I’ll be doing a bit of tidying up for a good portion of the evening … which won’t be fun but is very necessary.
