Yesterday we saw photos of Lindsay Lohan doing a bit of shopping in West Hollywood while taking great pains to keep her SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet hidden by baggy, bell-bottom jeans. Today we get to see new photos of L. Lo doing more shopping, this time in Beverly Hills, and more SCRAM bracelet hiding:

You may also recall that yesterday we learned of Lindsay‘s desire to find Chanel stickers to pretty up her SCRAM bracelet … but the fact that she is hiding her SCRAM bracelet inside her scrunchie boots prolly means she has yet to get the stickers she is looking for. I suppose we’ll get to see the various ways L. Lo plans to hide her bracelet until she’s ready to show it off. Any guesses how she’ll hide her SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet tomorrow?

It appears that lovebirds Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood are still very much in lurve as the pair were spotted lookin’ all lovey-dovey on the NYC set of ERW‘s new television project Mildred Pierce … behold:

As you may recall, back in January we learned that MM and ERW had gotten themselves engaged to be wed (after the couple had reunited back in December) but to my knowledge the couple have yet to actually get married. Even tho I still think they make an odd couple, they really seem to be very much in love. Even tho they split up for a short while last year, I kinda knew they’d end up together again. I suppose it warms my cold, goth heart to see these two still happily in love.

Our dear Britney Spears has been lookin’ pretty fab in recent weeks, especially when she surfaced on the SoCal set of her new commercial for Candie’s a couple of weeks ago, but it pains me to report that our girl has taken a turn for the worse … fashionwise. Here are a couple photos of Britney out and about here in LA yesterday lookin’ like she just fell out of bed, put on a hat and ventured out to run errands:

Blah. I love me some Britney, like crazy, but I am SO not a fan of this look of hers that she can’t seem to let go. I know, she’s prolly super comfortable in that slip dress and those fug UGGs but this look just reminds me of her trainwrecky days. Homegirl could take some style pointers from her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James. Those little dudes are lookin’ fly these days.

In all seriousness, I’d pay big bucks if someone would burn Britney‘s UGGs. I’m not even kidding.

On Wednesday we learned the shocking news that Kelly Clarkson supposedly agreed to collaborate again with One Republic frontman Ryan Tedder on new music for her new album (even tho, you may recall, she famously feuded with him over a song he wrote for her that sounds very much like a song he wrote for Beyoncé). In a new interview, Tedder claimed that the pair were no longer feuding and that he was writing new songs for her new album. Today we hear from Kelly herself and, as I suspected, she absolutely denies that she is working with Ryan Tedder again:

Contrary to Ryan Tedder’s statement, Kelly Clarkson said she doesn’t work with him in her next studio album. The winner of “American Idol” season 1 simply wrote “no” when responding to question about that matter during a Twitter party on May 28. However, Kelly indeed admitted she is now in the middle of completing her fifth studio effort. “I’ve been working in the studio a lot for this next album & can’t wait for y’all to hear it! New favorite is ‘You’re the only one for me’,” she shared. Other details about the upcoming release are not revealed, but in a message written a day earlier she stated, ” ‘Cleopatra’ is NOT a song on my next record! It was written for another artist! I have no idea how it leaked, it’s a rough demo, unfinished!” Ryan Tedder previously claimed he has put aside his feud with Kelly Clarkson, saying “I’m working on stuff for her next album and am personally over any of the drama between the two of us.”

LMAO!! Yeah, this is more like it. I had a real hard time believing Tedder‘s story that not only has he mended fences with Kelly Clakson but that she also agreed to work with him again on new music. The only way I could ever see Kelly Clarkson agreeing to work with Ryan Tedder again is if she was being forced to do so by her record label. I’m happy to know that that isn’t the case.

We don’t get to see much of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt here on the blog anymore, mainly because their attempts to saturate the public consciousness with their overindulgent and contrived bullshizz had gotten completely unstomachable, but the couple are making news today with news of their split. That’s right, folks … the couple who were destined to rule Hell together have decided to call it quits and break-up. Now, I know what you’re thinking … this does sound like another of their crafty schemes to garner new attention for themselves (which they surely must be missing since no one really pays attention to them anymore) but I suppose there is 0.01% that news of their break-up is true. Let’s just take this at face value and believe for a second that Speidi are dunzo, y’all!

Heidi Montag has separated from husband Spencer Pratt, TMZ has learned. Heidi’s rep tells TMZ, “Heidi is looking to move out due to all the fake bad press that Spencer controls. She’s tired of it and is looking for a place and wants to focus on her acting career.” We’re told Heidi is looking for a new place to live … in Malibu. As TMZ first reported, Heidi and Spencer called the police on Heidi’s mom a few weeks back … so there’s been plenty of turmoil. A source close to Heidi and Spencer tells TMZ the tension in the relationship has been building for a while now … “It wasn’t just a sudden thing.” Now it makes sense … On Tuesday, Heidi tweeted, “I am not Heidi Pratt, I am Heidi Montag.”

Sources tell TMZ Heidi Montag is pulling the plug on her marriage mainly because Spencer Pratt has taken away her friends and family. We’re told she has been complaining bitterly that Spencer is so controlling he isolated her from all her friends. The final straw, however, was earlier this month, when Spencer called the cops on Heidi’s mom when she came a callin’. And, Heidi is saying, she wants to break into acting but says people in Hollywood don’t want to work with her because she has “a loose cannon of a husband.” We’re told Heidi will be renting a Malibu beach house with Jennifer Bunney, one of her best friends. As Heidi herself puts it, “I want more girl time.” Bunney tells TMZ … “Heidi has spent so much time with Spencer and now she wants to be able to spend more time with herself and friendships.” And Bunney says … she and Heidi will be doing their very own reality show which begins filming in July, which will focus on their relationship struggles and … of course … plastic surgery.

You will note that I used a photo of Speidi from last year, before Heidi‘s latest round of plastic surgery. I just cannot look at what she’s done her face and body and take her seriously … at all. You’ll have to pardon my skepticism because it’s completely impossible to believe a single word that is uttered from either Heidi or Spencer. The couple are so good at using every opportunity to garner attention for themselves that everything they say and do is suspect. I mean, a break-up is the only thing that could get them any attention these days.

That being said, and if we are to believe that any of this is true at all … I could see how Heidi might hook up with Jen Bunney to try and pitch a new reality TV show together. I’m hearing that no one, and I mean NO ONE is at all interested in buying a reality show on just Speidi so it makes sense that they would “split up” so Heidi can try and sell a show on her own. Jen Bunney is the saddest, most tragic alum from the Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County days … she would do anything to be back on TV again. This partnership sounds a new marriage made in Hell and it could be real … or just another showmance to garner a little attention. You may or may not have heard … Heidi is trying to get cast in the upcoming sequel film Transformers 3 … might this surprise split be an attempt to get more press mentions in the hopes of scoring that role? Whatever is going on, Speidi are deffo counting on the new attention. What do y’all think … are they worth our caring?

It has just been announced that Scottish actor James McAvoy, who below is lookin’ all beefed up and HAWT, has been cast as Professor Charles Xavier in the upcoming X-Men prequel film First Class, due out in theaters in Summer 2011. You may recall that last December, Bryan Singer talked to the LA Times about directing the film … it turns out that he has since decided to produce the film and leave the directing duties to Matthew Vaughn. James McAvoy is the first actor attached to the planned prequel … and today, we get to see what McAvoy will look like as a young, very hawt Professor Xavier:

British actor James McAvoy has landed another Hollywood action franchise with the lead role in the latest X-Men film – and he has a tough new image to match. The 31-year-old Scot, who rose to fame in UK TV’s Shameless, will play a young version of the Marvel superhero team’s iconic leader Professor X in a prequel to the blockbuster trilogy. A new still from the film shows the actor in peak condition, with his tanned torso looking incredibly toned and taught. X-Men: First Class, due to be released in 2011, will be directed by Brit Matthew Vaughn – fresh off his controversial superhero hit Kick-Ass. It will be McAvoy’s second comic book-based action series, after scoring a hit alongside Angelina Jolie with 2008′s Wanted – which is now getting its own sequel. Professor Charles Francis Xavier, the character’s full name, was popularised in the big screen trilogy by fellow Brit Patrick Stewart. A wheelchair-bound scientific genius with telepathic powers, he heads a school for youngsters with mutant powers and leads the X-Men team against rival Magneto’s Brotherhood. The new film will show the duo’s friendship in their younger years as they worked together against a common foe before a rift turned them against each other. Bryan Singer, who directed the original X-Men and its sequel, conceived the story.

Oh yes … yes, yes, yes … I wholeheartedly approve. I think McAvoy‘s casting as Professor X is genius … I cannot wait to see who they will cast opposite him as a young Magneto/Max Eisenhardt. If X-Men: First Class is planning to feature James McAvoy lookin’ this good and his half nekkid, then sign me up. I am so on board with this casting … what do YOU think?

New wife and new mom Bethenny Frankel, one of the stars of Bravo TV‘s The Real Housewives of NYC, was spotted on the streets of Manhattan today filming new scenes for one of her reality TV shows. In addition to starring in Real Housewives, Bethenny will also star in a show of her very own called Bethenny Getting Married. Here are pics of the jubilant reality TV star filming scenes today:

Doesn’t she look fantastic? And, hello, she just gave birth a few weeks ago … homegirl is lookin’ real good. But, as cool as these photos are, I think the photo we saw on Tuesday of Bethenny with her baby girl Bryn Casey is even cuter still. Since the season finale of The Real Housewives of NYC airs next week, I’m thinkin’ these new scenes are for Bethenny Getting Married. I have to say, Bethenny is my fave NYC housewife so I’m really excited to see her new show … are you?

Yesterday we saw photos of sisters Paris and Nicky Hilton fraternizing with some sea men on the streets of NYC in celebration of Fleet Week and today we get to see photos of hottie Aussie actor Hugh Jackman doing the same. Hugh and his son Oscar Maximillian were out and about in NYC today scootin’ on their scooters when they paused to pose for photos with some brave military men … behold:

It’s just so cool to see celebs intermingling with our US military’s servicemen all over NYC … I mean, who doesn’t love sea men? I’ve always had my suspicions about Hugh and his love of sea men and this photo just proves the point … he really does love sea men! Okay, yeah, the sea men joke is kinda getting old but … ’tis true … I love sea men, too!

Last year the world was tortured by the release of the single and accompanying music video Tardy For the Party by Kim Zolciak from BravoTV‘s reality TV series The Real Housewives of Atlanta (well, maybe tortured is a bit harsh … the song is kinda catchy after all) and today our torture continues. The just divorced Countess LuAnn de Lesseps of The Real Housewives of NYC has just released her own single and music video for a track titled Money Can’t Buy You Class. Here are a few screencaps from this horrendous new video:

Money may not be able to buy you class, as Countess LuAnn de Lesseps sings, but it can buy her a music video. Watch the just-released clip – and see the Real Housewives of New York City star transform from reality TV personality to disco diva. In the clip, which was shot in the Midtown Manhattan club Covet, de Lesseps is surrounded by a fleet of chiseled men. “When I made the song, I had dancing in Saint-Tropez in mind,” the Countess told PEOPLE when the song first hit the Web. “I’m putting myself out there knowing that I won’t always be perfect. And it’s scary, but it’s worth it. Let people talk about it.” As for the video, it wasn’t about fancy choreography or amazing dance moves. “There’s not really dancing,” she said. “I just have very good looking men standing around. And it’s about how money can’t buy you class, so I’m taking money out of their pockets and throwing it onto the floor.”

Unlike Tardy for the Party, this new track from the Countless is just terrible so there is no chance it’ll be even a marginal hit. Now the video … well, HMMMM. To her credit, LuAnn looks completely unrecognizable in the clip … so she’s got that going for her. Unfortch, the video — like the song — is a horrendous bore. Don’t believe me? Check it out in full, after the jump …
