Katie Holmes Glows in New Beauty Ad

katie-holmes-bobbie-brown-ad

Katie Holmes‘ first Bobbi Brown ad is actually quite stunning. Well played, Joey Potter!

-On the other end of the spectrum, this might be the worst Sarah Jessica Parker Photoshop fail ever.

Kate Middelton showed off a visible baby bump in a grey MaxMara dress.

Michael Jackson‘s 16-year-old son, Prince, now has a job as an Entertainment Tonight correspondent. Even though showbiz is the LAST place this kid should be right now, he seems well-adjusted and poised in his first interview with the cast of Oz. (I love how Zach Braff is all nice and encouraging, while James Franco just keeps smirking at him like “I could have been a teen reporter; I just didn’t wanna.”)

Alison Brie showed off her freestyle, in-no-way-rehearsed-ahead-of-time rapping skills on Fallon last night.

Rihanna debuted her new fashion line at London Fashion Week – and the reviews were abysmal. No wonder she doesn’t even appear in the campaign.

-Speaking of fashion, Jessica Chastain better get this kind of crap out of her system before Sunday.

Nicole Kidman wore this L’Wren Scott dress to the Stoker premiere — the night before it debuted on the runway at London Fashion Week. Oh, you fancy, huh?

This photo of Kanye West with Aziz Ansari‘s parents is all kinds of great!

Up All Night was dead the second Christina Applegate quit; it’s bullshit that they’re trying to claim Maya Rudolph’s pregnancy is a factor.

Hugh Grant is a new father — and this time doesn’t seem to have any problems announcing it.

-In other new daddy news, did Jeremy Renner‘s baby mama give birth to a daughter?

-In case you missed it because you live in one of the lucky provinces who got yesterday off (high five!), Fergie and Josh Duhamel are expecting their first kid. It’s starting to come up roses for him: Safe Haven opened to stronger-than-expected numbers at the box office. (Unlike Beautiful Creatures, which everyone in the world except for me seemed to realize was meant to be avoided at all costs. Why didn’t you warn me, world?!)

Alec Baldwin‘s yoga instructor wife Hilaria is being sued by a student who claims he incurred “serious” and “severe” injuries from her class, further proving my “exercise is evil” theory.

-Also, 30 Rock has barely ended, and already Alec and Tracy Morgan are throwing each other under buses.

Britney Spears‘ new boyfriend is does “field research” for a law firm. Wait, so he’s Kalinda?

-Whoa. Clive Davis reveals he’s bi in his new memoir.

-Meanwhile, Kelly Clarkson has some corrections for Clive‘s memoir (specifically the crying-in-his-office part).

Amanda Seyfried says she has a history of being “attracted to creeps.” Wonder if she’s talking about him? Or him? Or him? Or him? Or maybe him?

-Awww. Courteney Cox posted a cute reunion photo with Matthew Perry on Twitter.

-Well, at least there’s a teeny, tiny glimmer of hope in the Mindy McCready saga: Vivid Entertainment has pulled her sex tape following her suicide.

-Despite the presence of a (very ugly) ring, Katy Perry and John Mayer aren’t engaged.

-That deli that accused Forest Whittaker of stealing has apologized – and insists it isn’t racist.

-I kind of love that Jim Sturgess is dating his costar from Cloud Atlas because they were freaking hot together in that movie (which I actually kind of enjoyed).

The Canyons star James Deen says nice things about Lindsay Lohan; adorably expects us to buy it.

-Even though it’s a superhero-themed show and that’s not really my bag, I’m excited for Joss Whedon‘s upcoming ABC series.

-Speaking of TV stuff, check out this great gallery of New Girl‘s Nick’s craziest moves — as told in GIFs, complete with Jake Johnson’s commentary.

Christina Ricci is the latest celebrity to forget to do the camera flash test before leaving the house.

Lil Wayne told concertgoers that he slept with Chris Bosh’s wife. She responded with some kinda denial-y RTs.

Jimmy Kimmel convinced some guys to buy some truly terrible Valentine’s Day gifts for their spouses. Some of these are harsh!

-The second trailer for The Company You Keep has arrived. The crazy good cast is helping me overlook the LaBeouf-iness.

-I couldn’t get through the People article on Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s perfect Hollywood marriage. I really tried, but I got to the part about how Jen “dialled back on her own career” to commit to being a homemaker and I started making these weird noises from the back of my throat that were freaking out my coworkers. Seriously, there’s Oscar campaigning and then there’s…whatever the hell this is.

-From these clips, it looks like Beyonce opened up more to Oprah than she did to her own documentary camera crew.

-Meanwhile, I love how open Bey is in this interview about how she controls her brand. It’s not unusual for famous people to think like that, but it is unusual for them to admit it so freely.

-First there was swatting, and now there’s police “spoofing,” which is being blamed for those prank 911 calls originating from Katie Couric’s dead husband’s phone.

-These 28 Daria quotes for any situation basically rule my life.

-One of my biggest regrets about last year’s TIFF is that I didn’t go to Jason Reitman‘s live-reading of American Beauty, and his next one sounds even better: an all-female cast doing Glengarry Glen RossMae Whitman in the Kevin Spacey role would be amazing!

-Uh oh. Lindsay Lohan‘s The Canyons will be released this summer.

Kim Kardashian‘s divorce is finally heading to trial. Not ’till May but still, baby steps!

-It was a lovely-dovey Valentine’s Day in Hollywood. Katy Perry and John Mayer enjoyed a romantic dinner, Kim Kardashian got a $73k bracelet from Kanye West, Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson were spotted at lunch, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban grabbed dinnerBritney Spears was seen with a mystery guy, while Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon posted some ridiculous photos of their day out.

-Not having a great V Day were Rihanna and Chris Brown, who were spotted at the same club — ignoring each other.

-Meanwhile, Vin Diesel won Valentine’s Day with this video of him singing Rihanna‘s “Stay” at karaoke.

-Lots of great TV casting news announced today: Felicity Huffman will play a housewife assassin in a new Fox pilot (’cause that’s what all actresses named Felicity seem to do these days), and Kyle Chandler will return to TV for Showtime’s The Vatican. If anyone can take the Catholic Football League to the state championship, it’s Coach Taylor!

-Speaking of TV, may I present you with 36 reasons why Happy Endings is the best sitcom on TV.

-I really liked last night’s Community (especially since the premiere felt a bit…off), but the ratings tanked.

-This can’t be a good idea: Harrison Ford is returning for J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars sequel.

Tom Cruise‘s fight against InTouch is getting nasty, yo.

Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys are HILARIOUS in this interview on The Americans. I want this to be the whole show.

Kristen Bell is denying reports that she got frisky with Dax Shepard at an animal hospital, but wants you to know that “if I ever was turned on around the smell of dog piss, I certainly wouldn’t apologize for it.”

Brangelina took their brood to the museum yesterday. Is it weird to be jealous of a little kid’s aviators? ‘Cause I’m so there.

-Here’s a great supercut of Parks and Recreation characters getting wasted. I knew there was a reason I loved this show.

-The new trailer for The Host looks more promising than the last one. It still loses me every time it says “from the author of the Twilight saga,” though.

Mr-and-Mrs-Smith-Pitt-Jolie

-There are not enough eyerolls in the world to cover this one: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are releasing their first wine next month.

-Meanwhile, he reportedly gave her breath mints for Valentine’s Day. “It is sort of a joke — and not.” It’s sick how much I want this story to be true.

-Also, expect the mommy bloggers to lose it when they notice that Angie lets her sons wear nail polish.

-You know that Harlem Shake meme that’s going around? Cute and all, but that ain’t the Harlem Shake. This is. You can also see it in these classic music videos.

-Fox is going to attempt to adapt the awesome British comedy Gavin & Stacey. Even the presence of Parenthood’s lovely Jason Ritter can’t make this seem like a good idea.

How I Met Your Mother’Alyson Hannigan has been granted a restraining order against an alleged online stalker. Seriously, someone dared to mess with this?

-Sad sitcom news: ABC has dumped Happy Endings on Friday nights, which basically means it’s cancelled.

Lena Dunham looks great on the cover of Rolling Stone.

Chris Brown and Drake are suing each other. Of course they are.

-A paparazzi snapped a photo of the ultrasound pic Evan Rachel Wood was holding while leaving her doctor’s office, and now she’s justifiably pissed.

-It’s Valentine’s Day, which means Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman answer your questions on how to “engage in romantic love.”

-Meanwhile, Idris Elba’s Valentine’s message made me swoon. Seriously, I know now what getting the vapors feels like.

-In other V-Day discussions, which is better: You’ve Got Mail or Sleepless in Seattle? Fight!

-The David Fincher-directed official video for Justin Timberlake‘s “Suit & Tie” has arrived.

Kim Kardashian covered up her baby bump with feathers. So many feathers!

Bryan Adams just welcomed his second daughter.

-Meanwhile, E! just cancelled Whitney Cummings’ talkshow.

Anne Hathaway says her fans booed her at the BAFTAs. She might want to look up the definition of ‘fans.’

Matthew McConaughey is launching a clothing line, which totally makes sense for a guy famous for being shirtless.

-The Breaking Bad crew keep landing TV gigs. Dean Norris will play the lead villain role on CBS’ upcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s Under the Dome.

-Hey girl, Ryan Gosling wants to be your Valentine.

-Speaking of Ryan, the “honest” trailer for The Notebook is priceless. “It’s basically the Olive Garden of love stories.”
