Beyonce and Jay-Z: Caribbean Lovers
Continuing on their romantic St. Barts boat outing, Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z were spotted looking very much in love as they canoodled on a yacht yesterday (December 30).
The “Bootylicious” babe and her “99 Problems” hubby kissed and checked out their digital camera pictures while sipping libations, with Beyonce looking stunning in a bikini top and matching sarong.
In related news, it seems that Jay-Z’s plans to expand his empire with a luxury hotel have been put on hold indefinitely due to the current credit crunch.
The 39-year-old hip-hop mogul (who owns three record labels, a clothing line, a bar, and sports teams) was due to break ground on a 5-star Manhattan hotel, but has decided to wait until the economy is stronger.
Beyonce and Jay-Z: Beautiful Beach Bums
Beyonce and Jay-Z, seemingly one of the most normal couples in Hollywood, took a rather normal vacation over the holidays.
The singer and the rapper touched down in the Caribbean, where they hung out on a boat, went jet skiing and likely had lots of hot s*x.
Beyonce "Not Ready For Kids" Just Yet
Beyoncé may be happily married to rapper Jay-Z, but she has no plans to have children just yet.The R&B superstar, who recently released her new album 'I Am... Sasha Fierce', admitted that she will have kids one day - but for now, she is happy being an aunt to her nephew.
"I've seen the reality of having a kid and I'm not quite ready for it yet," Beyonce tells OK!.
"When I do eventually have a child, I can only hope he is as amazing as my nephew Jules. He's just the best. He is also a lot of hard work!"
Back out for the second night in a row, Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer enjoyed one another’s company during a loved-up outing in New York City on Friday night (December 19).
The former “Friends” star and her “Why Georgia?” singing beau first dropped by Il Mulino restaurant, a West Village Italian eatery, before finishing things up at the Olive Tree Cafe and Bar.
Jen happens to be staying in the Big Apple as she promotes her soon-to-be released movie “Marley & Me” - which hits theaters on Christmas Day (December 25).
Staying in town through the holidays, Jen told press of her plans, “To be here in New York. I haven’t been here in the December time in so many years. This is where I grew up, and I’m going to go back home, though. I’m going to milk this as long as I can.”
Jennifer Aniston: "It's My Time"
Jennifer Aniston is the subject of articles in numerous magazines -- GQ and Vogue, among them, not to mention pieces in seemingly countless tabloids.
She also stars with Owen Wilson in "Marley and Me," a touching romantic comedy based on John Grogan’s best-seller, about a young couple who buys a very behavior-challenged dog, and where life leads them. The movie opens nationwide Christmas Day.
Jennifer Aniston, 39, told Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith Friday all the attention tends to become a blur, as her picture leaps out at her from newsstands everywhere.
"It's funny," she explained. "I mean, I honestly see it as a different person. It's just -- well, because the (tabloid) headlines are just outrageous, so you usually get a kick out of that. But you just kind of go -- you try to walk past it as fast as you possibly can, honestly."
As onlookers on the street gawked at Aniston through the studio window, Smith remarked about how difficult it must be to have fans notice her everywhere.
"It's amazing how you can sort of start to tune them out," Aniston replied."
Smith said he "gets the sense" it's simply her time, and Aniston agreed, observing, "It's my time. I feel just really -- I mean, I just feel like, you know, every woman that's ever said -- or man -- that's said it just gets better. I just agree. I just wish we could have -- it's the thing: You don't know as much as you know in your 20s as you do in your 30s as you do when you are..."
Smith took it further, paraphrasing a line in the Bernard Malamud novel, "The Natural," that says, 'We live two lives: one we learn with, and the other we live with.' "So, you may be in the 'live with' one," Smith suggested.
"I'm startin' to live. It's good!" Aniston responded.
Turning to "Marley and Me," Aniston said it "packs a punch," evoking a full range of emotions as it follows a newlywed couple over 15 years, beginning as a light film, then yanking at the heart.
She says it tells the couple's story "from that early stage of being married and excited and your careers and futures and dreams are right ahead of you, and then, just sort of -- life!"
But in it, "I get to get my hands a little dirty. And it was also ... so nice to sort of not be in a -- your normal romantic comedy, where it's about getting the guy or getting the girl. This sort of starts as a -- at the end when they walk off into the sunset, and you get to actually tell the story."
Jennifer Aniston says she saw "Marley and Me" with an audience at its premiere in Los Angeles last week and heard "audible moans and snorts" from people getting choked up."
She and Wilson "had a great time (working together). It was easy from the minute we met. We just had that, you know, very similar sensibilities. We worked very similarly. We kind of -- he's just so good."

Michelle is 'Biggest Loser'
Michelle Aguilar, the 26 year old from Dallas, was named "the Biggest Loser" in the sixth season finale Tuesday.
She lost 110 pounds in the competition, dropping from a starting weight of 242 to a current 132 as part of Jillian Michaels' team. The percentage weight loss was 45.45 percent and she took home the title and the $250,000 final prize.
Ed Brantley, 31, a chef from Raleigh, lost even more pounds, 139, but the 41.49 percent weight loss was less than the winner (or loser) when he went from a starting 335 to 196. He had been part of Bob Harper's team of husbands and wives, with his wife Heba Salama, 30, who was also among the final four but was eliminated by viewer vote during the finale in a rather lopsided margin -- an 84 percent majority chose Brantley. But Salama did win the $100,000 prize for the biggest loser of those eliminated.
Also part of Harper's team was Vicky Vilcan, 37, the mother from Houma, La., who said she felt guilty that her weight had helped make her daughter overweight as well. Her weight loss, losing 101 pounds from a starting 246 to 145, was good enough for a third place finish.
"The Biggest Loser" finale came as part of a big two hour finale, which really was not so big -- every episode of the show this season was two hours long, something of a record. There won't be much time without the show. It returns with a new group of overweight contestants Jan. 6.
'The Biggest Loser: Families': A victory for spite and Michelle
Our long national The Biggest Loser: Families nightmare is over! No longer will we be haunted by the fear that Vile Vicky, Henchwoman Heba or Easily-Led Ed would take the prize from America's Sweetheart of Last Resort, the indomitable Michelle. And while it was a split verdict in terms of rewarding evil, the 84 percent (!!!) of us who cast our votes for Ed out of spite were in the right.You read that right, folks: Ed pleaded Henchwoman Heba's case before America, and America ignored him, voting him into the final triumvirate over his hateful wife. Spite brings the country together again! I worry about that other 16 percent, but I figure Heba must have SOME friends and family. Heba did not seem surprised, but Ed looked honestly disappointed. Sorry, Ed, but you're much less objectionable than your wife.
The eliminated players
Adam was part of the first couple eliminated. He looks good -- he's slimmed down a lot, and is sporting a great suit.
Stacey was the other half of that first-eliminated couple, and she looks AMAZING. Stacey said in her look-at-me-now interview that she'd buy the first new dress since her wedding for the finale. She made a great choice -- it fits her beautifully and has some tasteful bling at the collar. Since she was only on campus for one week, she did almost all of this without the trainers’ help. Wow. Go, Stacey!
LT and Tom are both still big guys, but now they look solid, like linebackers, rather than just big, you know? I'm glad to see them both looking so much healthier. Tom says he's eliminated his high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Jerry had been in even worse shape than Tom health-wise, and now he looks great. Again, he's eliminated all his medication and his diseases, and I swear he's even got more hair. The entire audience cheers for him. It's fantastic.
Coleen looks adorable, with a great dress and fabulous wavy hair. She's proud of herself, but she's even more proud of her dad. Awwww...
Shellay -- holy cow, what a knockout! Shellay is just smokin' in a fitted laced sheath dress that shows off her tight little bod. Wow.
Amy makes just as much of an impression, strutting out in a one-shoulder dress that makes her look spectacular. I can hardly believe these are the same people. Nice red highlights in her hair, too.
Phil obviously worked his butt off at home -- he may be half his size. It's also possible that he just had his scalp waxed and buffed.
Amy looks incredible, in a fitted red dress and a side-swept hairstyle. She really is channeling Miss South Carolina here. I find myself hoping she wins.
Brady lost a lot of weight, but he's still a solid, beefy guy. He looks damn good, but it's not the same sort of transformation that Phil went through.
Renee looks lovely, with a new short haircut and a great fitted black dress. She says that no matter how good she looks, Michelle looks even better. Heh.
That leaves Henchwoman Heba, who, it much be said, looks like she's shrunk to half her original size. She looks good, and has a sleek new haircut, but she really should have invested in a better bra. I'm just saying.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie Settle for At Least $76 Million
Madonna has settled with ex-husband Guy Ritchie for at least $76 million in cash and assets, according to her spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg.The divorce payout, which Rosenberg said is somewhere in the range of $76 to $92 million, is considered by some to be a record for a man from his ex-wife.
The payout includes the couple's country estate Ashcombe House in Wiltshire, as well as a cash lump sum thought to be at much as $53 million.
Rosenberg said the couple's west London pub -- the Punchbowl -- would also remain with Ritchie.
But U.K.-based entertainment lawyer Ambi Sitham said it made sense for Madonna to divest herself of her British property.
Madonna Out Big Bucks
Madonna and ex-husband Guy Ritchie have tidied up their financial split by Madonna agreeing to leave behind $76 million.
The singer's spokesperson, Liz Rosenberg, told The Associated Press the sum includes the value of the couple's country estate, Ashcombe House, which goes to Ritchie. The former couple's West London pub, the Punchbowl, also stays with the director.
Together, the couple was reportedly worth about $525 million, $35 million of which Ritchie brought to the table. The rest was Madonna's.
The settlement is about twice what it cost Paul McCartney to part with Heather Mills.
U.K attorney Ambi Sitham said there was no reason for Madonna to keep the two places.
"She's moving back to New York. It's money she's already paid out - what is she going to do, try to sell the houses in a flagging market?"
All that remain to be finalized are the custody arrangements for their 2 young sons.
Jennifer Aniston is not shy. The star of the upcoming movie Marley & Me tells GQ that while the two are hardly best friends, they do still keep in touch. "When there's something to congratulate or celebrate, there's an exchange," she tells the magazine. "But there's no charge on it." There is, however, quite a charge in the racy photos Aniston posed for, wearing nothing but a red, white and blue tie, reclining on the ground between two buff boys. It's hard to believe the former "Friends" star is 39 years old. "I feel more comfortable today than I ever did in my 20s or early 30s," she says. "I'm healthier. I'm more at peace in my mind and with my body." The "body" part, at least, is quite apparent.
In the January issue of GQ magazine, she not only bares her soul about the current state of her relationship with ex-husband Brad Pitt, she bares just about every inch of her body, too.
Jennifer Aniston bares it all in January issue of GQ
Jennifer Aniston wears a tie - and nothing else - on the January cover of GQ magazine and bares it all in a revealing interview.The 39-year-old actress strips down and shows off her toned body next to the headline: "Is it just us or is Jennifer Aniston getting hotter?" The Associated Press reports.
Joking about the relentless media coverage of herself, ex-husband Brad Pitt and Pitt's partner Angelina Jolie, Aniston tells the magazine: "The funny thing is that people don't realize we all go away to the Hamptons on the weekends."
Says Aniston: "But can you imagine? That'd be hysterical. ... " As for Jolie's past remarks about falling for Pitt on the set of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," Aniston says: "I laugh. Am I surprised? ... Considering the source, nothing surprises me."
Britney Spears CD Tops Charts, But 'Circus' Video Gets Slammed by PETA
Britney Spears' comeback album "Circus" has reached the top the Billboard 200 list.
"Circus" has sold a projected 500,000 copies in it's first week, according to Jive records, vaulting it past albums from artists including Mariah Carey, Madonna, Beyonce and Janet Jackson.
Now officially on the rebound, Spears has made several high-profile appearances for "Circus," and plans a nationwide tour in March. But that doesn't mean controversy has stopped following the paparazzi magnet. This time, Spears is in trouble with the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for using lions and elephants in the video for her new single “Circus.” The activist group said that exhibitors who provided the live lions and elephants for the video, Steve Martin’s Working Wildlife, and Have Trunk Will Travel, both have “long histories of exploiting animals.” According to Michael McGraw, a spokesman for PETA, circuses use a training method that “inflicts pain on elephants.” “Britney could have used stock footage of elephant herds in their natural habitat to portray elephants in a positive and nurturing setting, McGraw told FOXNews.com. “She also could have utilized animations or animatronics instead of live animals.” Spears' rep provided FOXNews.com with a letter from the American Humane Association, which was on the set for the filming of the video "After reviewing the reports, we believe that the Guidelines for the Safe Use of Animals in Filmed Media were followed and that no animal was harmed in the making of this music video," a post production manager wrote. Britney Spears Fined on first solo drive.
BRITNEY SPEARS’ first solo car drive in months reportedly ended in disaster – when she was slapped with a parking fine.
The Womanizer babe is allowed on the road alone again following her meltdown earlier this year, but she clearly needs to brush up on the law.
One mistake she won’t be repeating is parking up an alley.
That’s the baffling error she made last night that landed her in trouble with Los Angeles authorities, according to onlookers.
Britney – looking far less glamorous than her recent self – was issued with a ticket after returning to her vehicle, and briefly had her keys confiscated.
There are rumors that Kim Kardashian was asked by United Nations officials at the Empowerment of Africa dinner in New York if she would be interested in becoming a UN ambassador for South Africa.
I know if I was South African, I would be asking the UN if there was anyone else. Come on. Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Bossip is reporting:
Word is the UN is looking for more influential “pop culture” celebs to inspire younger generations to become more involved in international affairs.
The source also told Bossip that Kim Kardashian. has officially teamed with Russell Simmon’s Diamond Empowerment Fund, but her specific role and duties have yet to be confirmed.
Ok. The UN are looking for desperate famewhores. Heidi Montag you must be next.
UPDATE
Apprently the UN Does have some dignity. Kim Kardashian denied the rumors she was asked to be a UN ambassador in a blog post.
I was not asked to be an ambassador for the U.N. (as some reports have suggested today) but it would be an honor and I definitely plan on helping out the U.N. in the future. I am also excited for the work that Russell and I have planed in our fight for Africa!
“I would never snub Hefner,” Kim Kardashian
Socialite Kim Kardashian has dismissed the reports saying that she snubbed Playb*y founder Hugh Hefner. The actress makes it clear on her blog that she would 'never say never'. She loves Hugh Hefner and the rest of the Playb*y team.
According to Kim, the reports have totally misquoted her. She writes, "I'm not planning to pose for the magazine any time soon. I would never snub Hugh Hefner. I love him and his whole team were lovely to me and treated me like family."Lately I have steered away from sexier shoots but it doesn't mean I'm afraid to be sexy or ashamed of that. I have no regrets. One day you never know, but it's not the direction I'm going in now," she adds.

CBS television kicks off the evening with Grammy nominations for 2009 and a live concert event featuring Mariah Carey, John Mayer, the Foo Fighters and Taylor Swift. The 2008 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show airs at 10pm Eastern and 9pm Central time.
This years 2008 fashion show from Victoria's Secret was filmed at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel in Miami Beach, Florida on November 15, 2008. The show features the Victoria's Secret Angels and a musical performance by R&B recording artist Usher. I'm told that Usher is no stranger to chiropractic, receiving care regularly when in the Santa Monica and West Los Angeles areas, and requesting chiropractors when on the road.
Admittedly, most people will be tuning in to see the 2008 Victoria's Secret Angels, and the fashions they will be modeling on the runway. Current Victoria's Secret include Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Karolina Kurkova, Selita Ebanks, Miranda Kerr, Marisa Miller, and Doutzen Kroes.
The Miami Beach Fontainebleau hotel is located at 4441 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33140. There is a Las Vegas opening of the Fontainebleau hotel and casino expected to take place in April of 2009. Construction is currently underway.
Victoria's Secret is expected to be launching a Spanish version of their website coming soon, visit the 2008 Victoria's Secret website (www.victoriassecret.com) for more information about the models, the show, the lingerie, and other products the company provides.
While the clothing may be skimpy, the wings, huge bows, and other fashions the Victoria's Secret models are wearing during the fashion show, can put a strain on one's spine. Chiropractors are given permission to watch tonight's CBS programming if only for postural analysis and future discussion of risks versus benefits of wearing high heels on fashion model runways.VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW: WHAT THEY'RE WEARING
Plenty of big names were on hand for last month's taping at the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach, among them Paris Hilton in a plunging black number.
Yes, you look fierce, Christian Siriano, in your skinny jeans and shiny shirt.
Terrence Howard was ready for Miami in white pants and shirt with striped blazer.
