Anne Hathaway at ?The White Fairy Tale Love Ball?

Anne Hathaway

On Wednesday night (July 6), Anne Hathaway dazzled at 'The White Fairy Tale Love Ball' at Chateau de Wideville in Crespieres, France. Looking princess-like as she stepped out for a good cause. As for the cause, The Naked Heart Foundation has a stated mission "to provide a safe and inspiring environment in which to play for every child living in urban Russia." The praiseworthy effort actually just launched a new program based on the principle that: ?Every Child Deserves to have a Family? - which supports the implementation of new and development of existing family support centers.

Shakira's Day 5 Closing Rock In Rio Performance

Gracing the main stage during the musical celebration's fifth day, Shakira was the closing act at the Rock in Rio music festival on Friday night (September 30).

The Colombian beauty brought her high-energy efforts to the forefront as she dazzled the Palco Mundo packed audience with songs such as "Estoy Aqui," "Nothing Else Matters," "Gypsy," "Whenever, Wherever," "Te Dejo Madrid," "Inevitable," "Loca" and "La Tortura".

Shakira's efforts followed another jam-packed lineup of performers, with other day five entertainers including Lenny Kravitz, Ivete Sangalo, Jota Quest and Marcelo D2.

Meanwhile, the 34-year-old has denied claims that she had been booked to perform at a birthday celebration for the leader of the war-torn Russian republic of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov.

Making it clear that she had no plans of partaking in such a gig, Shakira tweeted, ?Contrary to any misreporting, Shakira is not performing nor was she ever booked to perform a gig for the Chechen president or government."

HGTV, LA and Dining Room Tables

I've been watching a lot of HGTV since coming to LA. My favorite shows are House Hunters and House Hunters International. There's also another show I like to watch called For Rent, but only because it makes me angry.

When it comes to apartments/homes, I think living in New York for the past eleven years has made me bitter because there was this whiny broad on For Rent a few nights ago who was looking at a huge place—A HUGE PLACE—and was like, "There's no place for a dining room table..."

B*TCH, YOU'RE LUCKY TO GET A KITCHEN IN NEW YORK.

I hated her.

Now there's some stupid lady on House Hunters who wants a townhouse with a fireplace that she can turn on with a light switch. IT HAS TO BE A LIGHT SWITCH because she doesn't want to bend down and flip a switch on the floor.

WHO DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE?

Anyway, I know my LA update is WAY overdue (and truth be told I wrote a long one last week but for some reason it didn't save so I lost the whole thing and I was so angry that I just said, "Ah, f*ck it," and closed the computer instead of rewriting) but to give you a quick update, I AM SO HAPPY HERE. I MEAN, I'M REALLY, REALLY HAPPY. And I think living here and watching HGTV—both of these things combined—has made me realize that New York was just beating me down. I mean, the fireplace lady—yes, she's an idiot. But there's nothing wrong with wanting a dining room table. Why did I get so mad at that lady?

Since being here, at least once a day I ask myself why I have lived in New York for so long. (It's like I had Stockholm Syndrome or something.) CALIFORNIA IS AWESOME. It's like the promised land. It's sunny all the time and there are birds and flowers everywhere. I have space out here. I have a sofa on the patio out here. I HAVE A SOFA OUTSIDE. I haven't seen one rat since I've been here. But hummingbirds? THEY ZIP BY MY HEAD EVERY DAY. I am so happy.

I'm supposed to go back to New York in November, but truth be told, I'm not sure I will.

Joseph Gordon Levitt's "50/50": In Theaters Now!

It's one of the most anticipated films of the fall season, and today (September 30) "50/50" debuted in theaters nationwide.

Adding some serious star power to the Jonathan Levine directed dramedy are Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard and Seth Rogen.

As for the movie, "50/50? tells the story of a 27-year-old nice guy who has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, and is comforted by his best friend, doctor, and a therapist in training.

During a recent interview, Ms. Kendrick discussed her reasons for taking the role of the somewhat-incompetent therapist in the movie.

?I liked how vulnerable Katherine was: how thin her facade of confidence was, her kind of softness and vulnerability just at the edge of this confidence. That was really sweet and really exciting because I had just been promoting ?Up In The Air,? where I played a really strong character. It was just exciting to play someone who was a little more lost, who was really sympathetic or empathetic, I suppose, and who just wanted to help people but was going about it in all the wrong ways," she told press.

Holly Madison Insures Breasts For $1 Million

Blonde bombshell Holly Madison has insured her breasts for $1 million. Oh yes Madison apparently thinks her tat tatas are worth that much cash should something happen to them. According to People.com Holly decided to insure her boobs for such a high price because, well if something happened to them she wouldn?t be able to work. She appears in the Las Vegas show Peepshow and during part of the show she is topless, so obviously if something happened to her girls she would most likely be out of work for a little while. Madison said that if she couldn?t work it could cost her about $1 million so that is where that crazy dollar amount came from. I totally get that her body brings home the bacon and she wants to protect herself as ridiculous as it sounds. However I if she thinks being out of work would cost her that much dough then she is seriously being over paid. Plus she does have her reality show Holly’s World so it isn’t like she would be jobless. Heck her reality show would probably do killer ratings if something happened to her breasts, just sayin. If you find this whole thing [...]

What do Britney Spears and Usher have in common? Well, they are both global superstars with a back catalogue of tunes that have kept fans dancing for a really long time and they both recently hooked up with will.i.am for tracks on their latest releases (the Black Eyed Peas mastermind worked on the pop vixen's Femme Fatale tune "Big Fat Bass"). And, if Spears has her way, she and the "OMG" singer could be hitting the road together.

When Spears sat down to talk with Sway Calloway for her "Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale" special — airing Sunday (April 3) at 9 p.m. ET on MTV — the singer revealed that Usher is first on her list of artists she'd like to join her on tour.

"Oh, I'm so excited. I'm really excited about going on tour, very," she explained about her forthcoming summer trek, which happens to have a spot open on the bill now that Enrique Iglesias has pulled out of the gig. "I think Usher's really great right now. I think he's really hot right now. That would be cool [to tour with him]."

The North American road trip is expected to kick off June 17 in Sacramento, California, and will run for 26 dates, winding up on August 13 in Toronto. More details will be announced soon.

The "Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale" special is a mixture of behind-the-scenes footage of the singer as she wraps up production on her album, which dropped this week, as well as an inside look at her life and fans. In addition, those who couldn't make Spears' recent nightclub show in Las Vegas will get to see her as she takes the stage in her latest pop incarnation.

Don't miss "Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale," airing Sunday (April 3) at 9 p.m. ET on MTV.
