taylor swift & jake gyllenhaal?

wha wha whaaaa? has young’n taylor swift snagged herself an older gentlemen?

seems so! well isn’t this surprising. taylor swift, 20, has apparently coupled up with jake gyllenhaal, 29. this is quite the interesting pairing, but now that you think about it, it kinda makes sense.

i’m not usually one to report on gossip, but people mag is generally a credible source. see what an onlooker had to say:

“they showed up together [see picture on left],” a source tells the magazine of their appearance at an SNL taping this saturday. “they walked around together backstage, but they were careful not to be seen too close. it was hard to tell if they were together, but everyone was shocked that she brought him.”

who knows what it really is, but one thing’s for sure – jake, you better treat her good or she’ll write a song about ya!

will’s willow whips her hair

she’s 9. yes, you heard me right, 9-years-old!

will smith’s daughter willow has taken up the family business, making quite the mark for herself! willow debuted her first single, whip my hair, a few weeks ago and the internets has since been abuzz with pictures and teasers of the accompanying music video.

well, it’s here! check it out above. man, she’s got moves! confidence! style!

recently signed to jay-z’s roc nation label, it seems this little lady is here to stay. “i believe in big records and superstars,” jay says, “and i think she has both.

kim kardashian flaunts it in the buff… again

celebrity reality TV star kim kardashian caused such a fuss when several nudes from her playboy shoot leaked to the public, but clearly reverence for her nekkid body is not the reason why…

…because she clearly has NO problems layin’ it all out there! the lady kim has again posed absolutely nudey (sans crotch shots) for W magazine‘s art issue.

strange, because if you’ve ever caught her show, keeping up with the kardashians (guilty), you’ll know that kim & family were originally not too thrilled about the thought of posing nude. stepdad bruce jenner even brought up her deceased father, and what he’d have to say about it.

but that’s all in the past. now it’s all about the dollas, right kim? and is it just me, or are these shots not even that flattering? i mean, she’s gorgeous and all, but i think they coulda done better.

“saggy” jessica alba

jessica, jessica, jessica.

you are beautiful and sexy and just plain genetically-blessed. don’t rag on your post-baby body when you look the way you do. i think most of us would trade bodies with ya any day of the week!

the lovely lady is GQ u.k.’s november cover girl, and shared with the mag her insecurities after giving birth to daughter honor marie 2 years ago…

“my breasts are saggy, i’ve got cellulite, my hips are bigger, but i love it. every actress out there is more beautiful than me. all better looking than me. i’ve seen them without makeup, so i know.”

okay ms. alba. whatever you say! but i beg to differ. and so does America.

when will justin return to music?

so if you’re like me, you’re wondering when the talented justin timberlake will – if ever – return to music.

he’s philandered on SNL, starred in various movies and has even taken on the world of golf… which is great. buuuut i think we’re ready for more music, justin.

when asked by entertainment weekly when he’ll get back to the studio, he said:

“…does a painter make a painting because he has to make it by december 21st? no, he doesn’t. it happens when it pours out of him. that’s how music is for me. it’s not methodical. it’s so much more of an outburst of emotion…”

i never stop making music. i don’t know what else to tell you, except that i just don’t know [in] what capacity i want to be involved anymore… all i’m saying is, in very simple terms, i’ll know when i know. and until i know, i don’t know.”

in another interview, timberlake discusses wanting to hone his acting skills… which is why he is “very selective” about the movie roles he picks. very selective, huh? what about your upcoming yogi bear remake, justin?

get back in the studio, pretty please!

the rich get “richer”

this is just beautiful!

created by billionaires warren buffett and bill & melinda gates, the giving pledge is an “effort to invite the wealthiest individuals and families in America to commit to giving the majority of their wealth to philanthropy.”

GOOD FOR THEM! currently over 40 billionaires have agreed to give away at least half of their total wealth including george lucas, barron hilton, ted turner, david rockefeller and more.

there’s no cap to how much you can donate – founder warren buffett has pledged 99% of his wealth! you’re saying, okay, what’s it to them? they still have millions left over. true, but it’s a terrific start and a great example to other wealthy individuals to hold off on their 5th house and 3rd porsche and donate some of their God-given wealth to those less fortunate.

early guesstimations of the total pledged are rounding out at 230 billion! just think what that could do:

  • feed more than 862 million people
  • educate over 80 million
  • provide clean water for 5 billion people
  • treat 5 million people suffering from AIDs for 30 years



the biebs is releasing a memoir!

a memoir? oh, justin!

the 16-year-old tween sensation is in high demand. so much so that publisher harper collins has offered him a book deal! i can already hear fangirls squealing across the nation.

make the money while you can, right?

titled justin bieber: first step 2 forever: my story, the book will include stories of his road to stardom and his chart-topping career. there’ll also be never-before-seen photos of “fans afflicted with beiber fever.”

my story hits shelves in october. “this is just another way for me to say thank you to my fans. [i'm] excited to share just a little bit more of my world.”

brangelina’s newest addition

they’re at it again! brad & angelina have shown us once again that they can do whatever the heck they want. case in point, their brand new $40 million “vacation” home in northern italy.

the crazy huge villa features a ridiculous 18,000 square feet, home, movie theater, 15 bedrooms and two swimming pools. you know, because one swimming pool isn’t enough.

keep in mind, this just their vacation home. they won’t even live there most of the time! but rest assured when they do, maddox, pax, zahara, shiloh vivienne and knox will have no problems squeezing in there.

pacey-con: the event of the century!

i mean, SO FUNNY. joshua jackson, aka pacey witter from dawson’s creek, took to the streets of san diego to launch the event of the century, pacey-con. armed with a megaphone, flyers and a “pacey-con” banner, jackson strolled through the enormous comic-con crowds to film this hilarious vid for funny or die.

dubbed the event “for all things pacey,” jackson graced the crowd with some dramatic script readings from the 90′s hit show. “i do pacey-con because pacey witter is the greatest character in television history,” he says, “ever. period.” this of course being said with creek theme song i don’t wanna wait playing in the background!

jackson was also there to sit on the comic-con panel for his latest role in the show fringe. “people ask me all the time why i’m working on this show, fringe, and the honest answer is i’m only doing it to fund my first love, which is pacey fan fiction.”

such a committed actor! pacey, you’ll always be in our hearts.

make up your mind, amanda!

sooo, this is annoying. miss amanda bynes has pulled quite the publicity stunt! about a month ago, bynes took to her twitter to announce her “retirement” from acting. yes, at age 24.

“if i don’t love something anymore i stop doing it… i don’t love acting anymore so i’ve stopped doing it… i know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first i’ve #retired… thank you everyone for understanding!!!! i’m so happy you like watching my old shows and movies!!! i love you all!!!! :)

and just one short month later, she has a change of heart! “i’ve unretired,” she announces, again from her twitter. make up your mind lady! i’m sure no one particularly cares either way, but it’s a pretty shameless way to gain publicity.

bynes then took the liberty of posting the trailer link to her latest flick, easy a. the movie tells the tale of a good girl who moves up in her school’s ranks after using the rumor mill to her advantage. amanda, emma stone & lisa kudrow star in easy a, scheduled for release on september 17.
