    Met Costume Ball May 2010

    i loved seeing proper supermodels like Gisele and Karolina Kurkova. even though both of their dresses were a bit "love-it-or-hate-it" -- they each looked absurdly amazing. especially KK, in my opinion. if anyone else were to wear this, they'd never pull it off.

    Drew Barrymore

    ok. i literally just finished watching Grey Gardens and i can safely say that it is WITHOUT QUESTION the single best performance Drew has ever given. not only that - but it is one of the best performances i've seen in ANY film in recent memory. Both her and Jessica Lange are nothing short of BRILLIANT in their depictions of Big and Little Edie. they will surely both win Emmy's for the performance. or perhaps they'll be nominated against each other and one will win, or whatever. they each deserve it. the film itself was extraordinary. i was a HUGE fan of the Documentary. i've seen it numerous times over the years and i was quite frankly a bit nervous to hear that they were turning it into a movie. i have always loved Drew Barrymore - though not for her talent, but moreso because she's one of the few actresses who truly embodies the idea of a MOVIESTAR. she loves it, she owns it, and i appreciate that. with that being said, i've never seen her turn in a dramatic performance, and so i was worried that she might not do Edie justice. well, my worries were entirely unfounded, because she honours this woman with a sincere, genuine, heartwrenching performance. honest and vibrant. remarkable. find some way to see this film. it's SO worth it.

    Gisele Bundchen

    this is insane. i'm sure that neither Gisele or Tom in any way would condone the activities of this crazy security guard. attempting to shoot actual HUMANS over a photograph?!? just beyond ridiculous. G & T have some major damage control. they better distance themselves from this security company and QUICK. seriously though - what a stressful way to end your wedding, eh? "yay! we just got married. oh, someone was shot at, but a man we hired. jesus, where are the lawyers."

    YAY! Sunshine and Rainbows! Pretty things! *ROBOT* MC, agreed RE: difference between "wisdom" and "education".

    Gisele Bundchen

    where exactly does one gain wisdom? do you learn it from a text book? in a classroom with 100 other people? perhaps in an online gossip forum? or does wisdom come from experience? from meeting varied and interesting people? from working with people of many different backgrounds who are at the PEAK of their profession? from traveling the world and learning different languages and discovering other cultures and ways of living? stereotyping and prejudice are sad masks for ignorance and envy.

    Gisele Bundchen

    3 things: 1 - Bar has never appeared in a VS ad, nor has she ever made a public appearance representing the brand. Thus, she is not a "VS Model". Plenty of girls do the catalogue work, but the only models actually hired to represent the brand are: Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes, Miranda Kerr, Marisa Miller, and Behati Prinsloo (though exclusively for the PINK! brand). 2 - That link you posted is merely hearsay and rumour. However, it also does correlate to the plenty of rumours that VS were going to hire Bar for their 2005 fashion show, but Gisele threatened to not walk if Bar was there. Obviously, we know who won that battle (Gisele). However, again, these were nothing but rumours. Bar has virtually zero runway experience, so it wouldn't make sense for VS to put her on their show anyway. And, to be honest, it would have been in bad taste on their part to hire Bar, with Gisele as their lead Angel at the time and the very public "love triangle" between her, Bar and Leo. 3 - I adore your James Franco avatar. He is delicious! And to MC who said: Gisele didn't get any publicity for dating Leo until around 2002 or 2003. She had already established herself as an icon in the industry by that time. In 1999, she won the "Vogue Model of the Year" award and was on the cover of Rolling Stones magazine in 2000 as "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World". Prior to dating Leo, she had already landed literally dozens of VOGUE covers and every major campaign a model could have. She was famous for starting the "Brazilian explosion" trend and for bringing back the Sexy-Bombshell look, as opposed to the understated, odd beauty that had pervaded the fashion industry since Kate Moss' rise in popularity. Obviously, dating a moviestar did wonders for her tabloid fame and general name recognition, I'd be an idiot and a liar to deny that. But, to say Gisele was "nothing" prior to dating Leo is entirely inaccurate. And not because I'm a "superfan" or whatever -- as I know they tend to be tremendously annoying and vilified immediately on these forums -- here's an interesting link to a site where this guy compiled a Gisele Bundchen Stock Index, comparing it to the DOW. Gisele wins. http://stockerblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/gi...dex-update.html

    Gisele Bundchen

    Taco didn't have it correct. Firstly - Gisele still stays in contact with Leo and only has ever said positive things about him. She has no reason to be jealous of Bar Rafaeli - because comparing the 2 is absurd. Until this year when Bar finally got the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover, her modeling career had consisted of very little worth noting. She is NOT a Victoria's Secret model. She's never done their runway and has only been in the catalogue on a few random occasions. Gisele is THE most commercially successful model OF. ALL. TIME. She has modeled for every couture house on the planet and has been photographed by the most famous and influential photographers. She is an ICON. Bar? Just a swimsuit model. Period. Secondly - while I agree that it would be most appropriate to just adopt a "no-talk" policy in regards to the child, since that isn't the case - I really see no problem with what she said. Yes, I understand how it could be taken the way that so many of you are choosing to take it, but Gisele loves that child. She IS the kid's stepmother. All she said was that when he's not with his mother, she loves him as if he were her own kid. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THAT?? People are so quick to hate.

    Zac Efron

    LOL! alright, alright, my gaydar is evidently useless. haha. oooh, if you only knew how tragic that sentence is and how it relates to my personal life. *cries*. seriously though - who in the hell can make anything out of that pic of "Zac and Lil Wayne" the only conclusive thing i can say is that the pictures includes a black guy and white dude. i can't even discern that they're kissing. isn't there a pic that's of even slightly more quality? the other one, of him and his gay friend there, well, that certainly looks like Zac. hmm ... you've all got me at least a little more convinced.

    Zac Efron

    am i the only one who actually thinks that Zefron is NOT GAY? i don't know what it is exactly -- seeing his pictures, i initially thought, "gay. gay. GAY!" but then seeing him in interviews, i get zero gay vibe. he's just a pretty kid. but i definitely think he's straight.

    Whitney Houston

    Bringing Whitney Houston Back by Parade.com Wednesday March 04, 2009, 11:00 PM Move over Britney, Whitney Houston is ready to take the title of comeback queen. And David Foster, the legendary hit-maker for stars ranging from Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion to Madonna and Michael Jackson, is finally talking about his reunion with the superstar. Foster collaborated with Houston on the blockbuster soundtrack single "I Will Always Love You." He knows fans are wondering if she's ready to resume her hugely successful career after years battling her personal demons. Q: You and Whitney are finally together again. How is she doing? David Foster: I was in the studio with her last week. She's in great shape and she looks good. We have this fantastic song that Diane Warren wrote and we went in and recorded it. It went really well. Her work ethic was exactly the way it was when we did the song for The Bodyguard. She worked incredibly hard for two nights and we came up with something really good. Q: Whitney has been through some tough times. Do you think she has her life and career back on track? DF: I think she's going to have a great album out within the year. Whitney is a girl that everybody would like to see come back and, in this case, it really would be a comeback. A lot of people say, 'Come back? I never left.' But Whitney did leave and she hasn't recorded in about 10 years, I believe. So this truly would be a comeback. Songwriter Diane Warren had something to say about the the song she wrote for Houston. Q: What's the song about, Diane? Diane Warren: I don't usually write music with someone in mind. But I set out to write this song specifically for Whitney and it's called "I Didn't Know My Own Strength." It definitely touches on her life, but I think a lot of people will relate to it because they've gone through hard times too. Q: How was her performance? DW: I was praying that Whitney was going to be able to nail it and she exceeded my expectations. She sang the s*** out of that song. Seriously, it was amazing. I'll tell you something, Whitney is back. Let there be no doubt. Related: Stars in the Making Photo Gallery
