Madonna For Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 09/10, Unretouched

Unretouched photos from the photoshoot that Madonna did for the Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 09/10 ad campaign have made their way to the Internets … and they are quite a sight to see. In the photos, Maddy is wearing make-up but her imperfections had yet to be Photoshopped away … behold:

You may recall that we first got to see the retouched photos from the campaign last Summer … those photos had an effect overlaid on the photos to give them a colorful look. These photos are purportedly what Madonna looked like before that retouching effect was added to the photos. After the jump, check out a couple more unretouched photos from this shoot …

Is legally allowed to take pain medication
Lindsay Lohan Gets Her Wisdom Teeth Extracted

Geeze, some people will do anything to get access to pain medication when they are legally restricted from taking any sort of prescription medication due to a court-ordered probation order that requires random drug testing. Lindsay Lohan, who last week was legally barred from ingesting any alcohol or medication until her next court hearing in July, underwent dental surgery here in SoCal yesterday to have her wisdom teeth extracted. According to TMZ, she has been given the OK to take pain medication as a result of her dental surgery … which strikes me as a pretty ingeniously suspicious way to get access to meds when one is not really allowed to:

It might seem like bad timing — that Lindsay Lohan was ordered last week to submit to random drug testing, just days before she had her wisdom teeth pulled … but we’ve learned Lindsay got a pass from probation. Lindsay’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, tells TMZ, “We advised the Probation Department of the dental appointment, which was made well in advance of last week’s court hearing.” Chapman says she assured the probation officer she would provide “documentation about any medications that Lindsay would be taking, which would be administered or prescribed as part of the procedure.” So whatever sedative Lindsay got in the oral surgeon’s office, and whatever she’s taking for the pain … won’t count on the drug test.

I mean … maybe I’m just being overly suspicious but … this just sounds way too convenient. I’m not saying that Lindsay Lohan would actually decide to get her wisdom teeth pulled just to get her hands on pain meds but … the timing … the timing seems really suspicious. In any event, Lindsay Lohan is now wisdom toothless and free to get hopped up on pain meds … it sounds like a win/win for her, yes?

Cites an inside source, NOT officially confirmed
RadarOnline Insists Mariah Carey Is Pregs

Last week the latest rumor of Mariah Carey being pregnant was sparked by the news that Mimi pulled out of appearing a new Tyler Perry movie at the last minute reportedly on the advice of her doctor. Since then, there has been no new confirmed information about the rumor (tho we did see Mariah and hubby Nick Cannon tooling around Malibu, CA in a sweet-ass Rolls Royce over the weekend). Today, RadarOnline is claiming “exclusive confirmation” that Mariah is pregs … because they heard it from an “insider” who is making the claim. Mariah‘s people have NOT confirmed any pregnancy but, it should be pointed out, they have not outright denied the pregnancy either:

The is-she or isn’t-she speculation is over. RadarOnline.com can exclusively confirm Mariah Carey is pregnant! The 40-year-old pop diva recently dropped out of her next film gig — a role in Tyler Perry’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf — fueling rumors that she’s pregnant. Now a source close to Mariah and husband Nick Cannon tells RadarOnline.com the couple — who renewed their vows to celebrate their second anniversary in May — are expecting their first child. “They’re both very excited and very happy,” dished our insider. When contacted, Mariah’s longtime rep Cindi Berger gave RadarOnline.com a rather cryptic comment. “I’m not at liberty to discuss Mariah’s personal life at this time,” the publicist told RadarOnline.com, a statement that did not outwardly deny the pregnancy. Said our insider: “Mariah and Nick want to keep the pregnancy quiet as long as they can.” Which could explain why Mariah never got out of her Rolls Royce convertible during a road trip with Nick along the Malibu coastline on Saturday. She was hiding a baby bump!

Based solely on the conjecture from this report from Radar, I’m not ready to totally believe that she is pregs … yet. I will say that the time seems right for her to be pregs and if anything gives credence to this latest rumor, it’s the fact that she pulled out of appearing in her new movie because her doctors advised her against it. If she is pregs, I suspect the couple will keep from giving official confirmation until they have to … which means we may not be seeing much of Mariah Carey out in public for a very long time. I, for one, hope she is pregs … I’d love to see Mimi as a mama. But … we should deffo hold off on offering our congrats just yet.

Congrats!!
Jane Lynch & Lara Embry Got Hitched!

Congratulations are in order for Glee star Jane Lynch and her ladylove Lara Embry … because the ladies to hitched over the Memorial Day weekend in the great state of Massachusetts! As you may know, Massachusetts is one of 5 States in the US (Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont) along with our nation’s capital Washington DC that allows legal same-sex marriage … so the couple said their I Dos in a private ceremony at the Blue Heron restaurant in Sunderland, MA on Memorial Day Monday. They got hitched, y’all!

It looks like Jane Lynch has something to be extra Gleeful about. Although the actress hasn’t made an official announcement, the Blue Heron restaurant in Sunderland, Mass., reports that Lynch, 49, married psychologist Lara Embry in a small ceremony on Memorial Day. “There were no celebrities or recognizable faces there,” restaurant co-owner Deborah Snow tells PEOPLE. “Lara’s daughter was there, along with close, close friends of the couple. It was small, warm, intimate and very sweet. You could feel the love and friendship amongst the group.” After Monday’s ceremony, in which a friend of Lynch’s thanked the State of Massachusetts for being welcoming to gay and lesbian couples, the newlyweds and their 19 guests enjoyed a reception featuring a four-piece jazz combo. Hors d’oeuvres included oysters, lobster triangles, Japanese crab salad, seared scallop with apple reduction and artichoke fritters with lemon aioli. For the main course: beet salad, striped bass with lemon buerre blanc, truffle mushroom salad, pan-seared breast of duck with duck confit, and herb salad. The reception concluded around 10 p.m. with cheese plates and a house-made cake filled with chocolate mousse, vanilla butter cream and fresh strawberries. Lynch and Embry have been engaged since November. Showing a soft spot not often exhibited by her character Sue Sylvester, Lynch gushed to PEOPLE earlier this year: “It’s just the greatest thrill in the world to find somebody that you want to be with every day.”

Because Jane so expertly plays an EVIL character on Glee, it’s really difficult for me to envision her as a lovey, dovey sweet bride … but I couldn’t be more thrilled for her and her new wife Lara. Let’s send all of our love and congrats their way today and wish them a very long and very happy life together. Let’s also send our love and thanks to Massachusetts for being one of the beacons of hope in this country that chooses to treat all of its citizens with fairness in marriage equality. Love and congrats all around!!
