On Tuesday we got our first look at Julie Benz (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dexter) in her new role on Desperate Housewives and today we get to see the lovely lady in the pages of the new issue of MF magazine … behold:

Julie is featured in a 3 page spread in this particular issue of MF mag which also features a great interview with the actress. Because the magazine is available online, you can read the full text of her MF interview HERE. As you might imagine, she talks a bit about her Rita Bennett-Morgan character on Dexter … among other things. After the jump, check out a couple more photos from Julie‘s MF magazine photospread …

The “heartbroken” and “mournful” Tila Tequila is continuing to share her “pain” with anyone who will listen by posting ceaseless nonsense on her official Twitter profile as well as on her official website. But, Tila is also sharing her “pain” with Steppin’ Out magazine. As you can see from her coverphoto, Tila is really handling the loss of Casey Johnson remarkably well … read on:

Tila Tequila is losing sleep over the death of her fiancee Casey Johnson. “I would like to see her right now. Right now. But if that’s not going to happen, then I hope she hears me when I scream out for her at night when I can’t sleep,” Tequila, 28, tells Chaunce Hayden in Steppin’ Out magazine. “The bed is so empty without my wife and our dogs,” Tequila goes on. Tequila says she and Johnson, 30, who was found dead on Jan. 4, “were and still are very much in love. It wasn’t love like either of us had ever experienced before. That is why we got engaged so fast. “We wanted to hurry up and start the next chapter of our lives together. Just me, her, Ava, our 3 dogs, and another little one on the way,” adds Tequila, who has been hinting she’s pregnant on Twitter. (She also said Wednesday that she’s going to seek custody of Casey’s adopted daughter, Ava.) Tequila says she and Johnson “became domesticated” and “were so happy happy that we never left the bedroom. That was our favorite hang out spot. My bedroom and my Jacuzzi.” “We were everything that both of us ever needed. Each other,” she goes on. Tequila says she’s not giving back the 17-carat engagement ring Johnson gave her. “I have it and will never let anyone take it away from me. That is something my wife gave to me to promise our courtship together for the rest of our lives,” she says. “I was so happy. The ring is absolutely real.” She also claims that she was bumped from appearing on Larry King Live because the Johnson family “threatened to sue Larry King if I’m on his show.”

Um … yeah. At least Tila decided to share her story with a renowned publication like Steppin’ Out magazine cuz it would’ve been far too obvious for her to share her tale of woe with a publication like the New York Times or something wacky like that.

And, in case you were wondering, Tila has also decided to chime in on the disaster relief that is going on in Haiti in the wake of the devastating earthquake that struck there a few days ago. If you are curious, you can read the full text of a string to tweets she posted on her profile last night that address the events that are going on in Haiti right now …

Fur lover and R&B singer Kelis posted a blogpost on her official MySpace profile this week altering her fans to the fact that she received a critical letter, personally addressed to her, from the animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. As you might imagine, PETA took great issue with Kelis‘s penchant for openly wearing and proclaiming her love for fur and decided that she needed a stern talking-to to try and get her to change her ways. Kelis, instead, responded to the PETA letter with an official statement of her own. Here is the full text of Kelis‘s response to PETA regarding her decision to wear animal fur:

Good morning all!

Ok, so you’re gonna love this. The other day I got a personalized letter from PETA! Lol so after some thought I’ve decided to write one back. Goes a little something like this:

There is no humane way to kill anything, let me start there. It’s unfortunate but it’s part of life. With that being said, I would eat pterodactyl if you found some and you told me it was meaty and delicious. And after doing a very minimal amount of research……. I found out that the founder Ingrid Newkirk is completely batty. I had a feeling but she far exceeded my expectations. I mean certifiably insane! Lol this chicks will is nuts, google it – it’s a riot! Beyond the fact that I think she’s a diabetic, which means she needs insulin, which is taken from lab pigs (I know this because my sister happens to be in veterinary school), which would be completely hypocritical. It’s like don’t abuse animals unless it can help me.

I feel very strongly about a lot of things such as the sweatshops that spin cotton and the blood on their hands. Btw it’s not just the look of fur. It’s warm as hell and feels glorious, ever rubbed faux fur on your body? Nothing luxurious about that. Then the letter proceeded to name artist and designers who don’t wear real fur. Great! More for me! I don’t judge them, don’t judge me.

The rest of Kelis‘s letter to PETA continues after the jump …

It has been many, many months since we’ve seen little sister and mother of one, Jamie Lynn Spears, here on the blog but she managed to surface long enough to be photographed for the pages of Star magazine. The pic is kinda old but it has just come to light and Star has the deets. JL met up with some friends to party at a bar with some friends on Xmas in Hammond, LA and donned a special wig for the occasion:

Britney isn’t the only Spears girl who likes to change up her look! Little sis Jamie Lynn rocked a long black wig as she partied with friends at Atlas Bar in Hammond, La., on Christmas Day. Despite her disguise, the 18-year-old’s cover was blown when she got carded at the door. “The bouncer told everyone who she was,” a fellow partier tells Star. But Jamie Lynn’s underage status didn’t ruin her time. “She had a friend who was over 21 buy her shots and drinks,” says the source. She and her group of girlfriends kept things chill, dancing together until 1:30 in the morning, with no Casey Aldridge in sight. Well, someone had to babysit 19-month-old daughter Maddie!

Whenever Britney dons the wig for partying, you can be fairly certain that she might be a little on the wacky side … one hopes that JL doesn’t have the same problem. To be honest, tho, she seems to really have settled nicely into quiet motherhood out in Louisiana these days. As I mentioned above, it’s been months since we’ve seen or heard from the young mother. As I understand it, she and babydaddy Casey Aldridge are still going strong and are happily caring for their daughter Maddie Briann. I guess it’s just fine if JL Spears wants to get her party on from time to time to blow off some steam. It’s just funny how the young actresses life turned out … now the most exciting thing to happen to her these days is a night out at the local bar with some friends. HMMM.
