Jodie Sweetin Enjoys Her Newfound Fame

A tabloid star is born
Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Ex-Full House star Jodie Sweetin, who last week was dragged into family court by her estranged husband Cody Herpin over custody rights to their 8 month old daughter Zoe, was snapped in West Hollywood, CA over the weekend doing a bit of shopping at Fred Segal. Apparently, due to her custodial woes with her ex, she is now fodder for the paparazzi to take photos of … behold:


I mean, get the attention while the gettin’s good … right? As you may also recall, the judge presiding over Sweetin’s custody hearing last week ruled that she is “not be allowed to be with the child unless one of her folks is present” which is prolly why Jodie was shopping sans baby. I’m not sure how long the paps attention will be focused on Sweetin but I suspect she may be able to extend her 15 mins. of fame a bit longer should her custody case get complicated. I wouldn’t be surprised if she ends up talking to a magazine after the matter is settled … whichever way it turns out. Isn’t it funny how fickle the finger of Fame and Fate can be?

President-elect Obama On Holiday In Hawaii

Hail to the Chest
Monday, December 22nd, 2008

President-elect Barack Obama and family are spending the holidays down in his home state of Hawaii and the Prez-to-be is showin’ off the hot bod he’ll be taking to Washington DC next month to be sworn in as our 44th President:


Hel-lo! This hottie is going to be our President, y’all! Altho it feels kinda wrong to see the man in this state of undress … I can’t blame the guy for showing off a bit. Sure he managed to run a successful campaign for the most powerful leadership position in THE WORLD but that ain’t nuthin’ compared to the fine campaign he seems to have run in the gym. Could it be that Barack Obama is about to become our hottest Prez ever? I think so. Head on over to BauerGriffinOnline.com to see the full set of Obama family vacay pics.

Vicki B. Makes Herself At Home In Milan

Like a kid in a candy store
Monday, December 22nd, 2008

David Beckham, who was officially introduced to the people of Milan, Italy this weekend as the newest member of the AC Milan football club, has denied that he decided to make the temporary move to Milan for “fashion” reasons and is only doing so in order to better his soccer game. It appears that the same cannot be said for wifey Vicki B. who looks absolutely thrilled to exploit all of the fashion options that are available to her in the Italian Fashion Mecca. Here are a few pics of VB’s first hours in Milan this weekend … you will note that she took the opportunity to change outfits a few times to show the people of Milan just how fashionable she really is:


Sometimes, one fabulous frock just isn’t enough. Victoria Beckham obviously felt she needed to trot out four within 15 hours, while helping her husband David settle in at AC Milan on the weekend. She might simply have been trying to do him proud as he met his new teammates. Or she could be helping him with his Italian … But the fact that all the frocks were from her dVb collection suggests she was trying to make her own mark on the fashion capital.

Hahhahaha … as “posh” as VB is, she seems to have no probs becoming a walking billboard to peddle her dVb wares to the fine folks in Italy. Shameless. I love it. Additionally, VB hooked up with fashion designer BFFs Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana for a little shopping spree yesterday afternoon … here are a couple of pics of the happy threesome:


While Becks may proclaim that he’s only got soccer on the brain while he’s in Italy, I think it’s safe to say that we know what’s on VB’s mind. It looks like Les Beckhams are going to enjoy their time in Milan over the next few months … I just hope they don’t get too comfortable there ;)

Angelina Jolie Does German ‘Cosmopolitan’ Magazine

An oldie but a goodie?
Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Angelina Jolie is featured on the cover of the new issue of German Cosmopolitan magazine lookin’ fierce as ever … in a photo that looks to be a few years old but, since I can’t be entirely sure, could be a new, recently shot photo — behold:


Since my German is really, really bad (my apologies, Professor Vansant) I’m not sure what the headlines on this magazine read. I see that Ange is referred to as an über-star but beyond that, it’s all Greek to me … er, German … you know what I mean ;) In any event, no matter what the headline and no matter when the photo was taken, it’s still a sexy mag cover. Sure, it’s not necessarily the hottest magazine cover that one can find on newsstands these days but, it’s still pretty a’ight. Do we like?

Madonna Celebrates The End Of Her ‘Sticky & Sweet’ Tour

What would Jesus do?
Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Madonna, her Royal Madgesty, celebrated the end of her almost year-long Sticky & Sweet World Tour in São Paulo, Brazil last night at a private soiree held in her honor by art director Giovanni Bianco. According to reports, Maddy — who is photographed below on the arm of her friend and manager Guy Osearywas spied canoodling with Brazilian model Jesus Luz whom, it was previously reported, she met on the set of a photoshoot she did with Steven Klein for W magazine last week. While the couple were not photographed leaving the tour wrap party together, Jesus was spied leaving in a car that followed Madonna to her hotel. HMMMMMMM:


Madonna celebrated her last Sticky & Sweet Tour concert last night in São Paulo at a private party thrown by art director Giovanni Bianco at a club in Pinheiros. She went to the party not only accessorized by her Chanel resort heels, but by 21-year-old Brazilian model Jesus Luz, who she met during her W magazine photo shoot in Rio last week. According to national tabloids, Madonna made out and danced with Jesus during the three hours she spent at the party. She left the club at 5:30 am, and he left in the car right behind her.


Both cars pulled over at the Hyatt where she is staying. Madonna is now officially a Brazilianizer.

LOL. You know, Madonna really does have a type of guy she lurves, don’t she? Except for her soon-to-be ex-husband, most of her romantic involvements have been with Latin-lookin’ dudes (including A-Rod). If these reports are true, it’s not hard to believe that Maddy would be all in this guy’s biz. He is, after all, supermegahawt. After the jump, check out one of Jesus’s modeling pics for reference …

AC Milan Rolls Out The Red (& Black) Carpet For David Beckham

A hero's welcome
Monday, December 22nd, 2008

After arriving in town the day before, soccer phenom David Beckham was on hand at San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy yesterday to not only attend the AC Milan soccer match but to be presented to the assembled fans and, indeed, all of Milan, Italy as the newest member of the soccer team. In a ceremony before the game, Becks was paraded out onto the field draped in the AC Milan colors and accompanied by a mob of cute little boys all wearing replica Beckham jerseys with his name and new number, #32, emblazoned on the back. For the time being, Becks is now officially an AC Milano:


Loan star David Beckham arrived at the San Siro on Sunday clutching his club shirt and was told he could begin AC Milan’s next match against Roma in the Italian capital on January 11. England midfielder Beckham has joined the Rossoneri for three months from Los Angeles Galaxy and was a spectator on Sunday night when they thrashed Udinese 5-1 in a Serie A clash. Beckham his Italian job will help reclaim his place in Fabio Capello’s England squad that is firmly on course for a place at the World Cup finals in South Africa. He currently has 107 caps and needs one more to equal the ‘outfield’ record held by Bobby Moore who held aloft the Jules Rimet trophy in 1966. Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti insists Beckham will come into contention for a starting berth when his side resume after the winter break. Club vice-president Adriano Galliani agreed saying: “Beckham is in good physical condition. He will be here with us for nine Serie A games and will also play some friendlies. “We will then consider whether or not to include him in our UEFA Cup squad because eventually he would only be able to play up to the first and second leg of the last 16 of the competition. “We will make this decision by the end of January.” Milan have been paired with Werder Bremen in the last 32 of the UEFA Cup with the two-leg tie to be played in February. Beckham is set to return to the U.S. at the end of March to prepare for the start of Major League Soccer and would be unavailable from the quarterfinal stages on in Europe. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid maestro officially becomes a Milan player on January 7 and now looks set for his debut four days later … Beckham’s ‘presentation’ at the San Siro prior to kick-off was a rather low-key affair as he strolled on to the pitch to mutter the words ‘Forza Milan’ to a half-empty stadium. He will now get to know his new colleagues at a training camp in Dubai.

Love it! Becks is a show in and of himself. He don’t even need to play soccer to get people excited … that’s a true superstar, y’all. As much as I’m not TOO thrilled that Becks is on load from LA to Milan, I am anxious to see how he does over there. I’d love to see him do well so that he can play with the English team and fulfill more of the goals and benchmarks he’s set for himself professionally. It’s unclear how much longer Becks can remain a high profile, high demand soccer player. I’d love to see him go out on top like he deserves to. Good luck, Becks … we’ll all be rooting for your success!
