We know she’s got this big wedding thing coming up and all, but is Kate Middleton – looking very slender in a black dress and tan heels yesterday – getting too thin? A little more than one week to go before she marries Prince William on April 29, Kate stepped out for some last-minute shopping on London’s King’s Road. What do you think? Shedding for the wedding or going overboard? Personally, we think Kate still looks fabulous . Whatever she weighs, when she walks into Westminster Abbey, she should be looking radiant in her wedding dress, reportedly designed by Sophie Cranston . In the meantime, the princess-to-be has been on a shopping spree, buying around $350 worth of items – possibly for her honeymoon? – from Warehouse. [Photos: Fame Pictures]
Kourtney Kardashian and Suri Cruise just turned a combined 37! The reality TV star and daughter of TomKat both turned another year older and wiser on April 18 (sorry for the belated wishes, ladies). Despite their age gap, Kourtney (32) and Suri (5) have something in common – being famous for no reason! Sorry. We kid. Well, mostly. There are similarities if you think about it. Both are often associated with crazy men (Scott Disick, Tom Cruise) and 97 percent of what you read about them is BS! Anyway, here’s wishing a happy birthday to Suri. Hope you had fun, cutie! Happy birthday to Kourtney Kardashian too, we guess, even if we’ll never forgive her for rejecting THG’s Co-President on the first season of Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami , then getting knocked up by Scott like a week later.
Vanessa Hudgens at the center of another photo scandal? Incredible! The actress ditched her usual squeaky clean image in favor of hippie chic on the first day of the Coachella Festival, but it’s not her fashion that has people talking. The young star was spotted enjoying some food, then was seen sampling a strange white substance from a pouch. Check out the Vanessa Hudgens pictures here: The photos shown above are definitely her, and definitely show Vanessa Hudgens licking a white substance off her finger at Coachella in Indio, Calif. We know what it looks like … but she says it’s not what it looks like . A rep for the Sucker Punch starlet told E! News that the stuff was actually melted white chocolate. Right. Because everybody samples that out of a bag. Eh, we’ll give her the benefit of the doubt here. After having nude pics leaked about 12 times in the past few years, she could use it, don’t you think? On a side note, she was there with rumored BF Josh Hutcherson ! [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]
It’s good to be Mr. Jessica Simpson, but not THAT good. Don’t get us wrong. Eric Johnson, who will wed the singer/designer this year, worked out a prenup that guarantees him some cash, and he gets to put it to Jessica Simpson in the meantime, so he’s living well. Just not THAT well. According to sources, Jessica’s billion dollar brand is being closely guarded, and Eric’s compensation if they ever split up will work out as such: BIG WINNER : Eric has some serious assets now. Look at those . “Eric is on what you might call a vesting plan,” said an insider . “He’ll get $500,000 as a wedding present. Then, each anniversary, he’ll get another $200,000. If he and Jessica make it to five years, he’ll get an additional incentive $500,000 bonus – and a $1 million bonus if they make it to 10 years.” On second thought, he’s doing DAMN well. Of course, if he’s gonna be married to her 10 years, he’ll probably stay married to her, so it’s moot. You have to wonder, though, what Jessica is really protecting here. Is she guarding her own fortune, or essentially paying him to stay married?
How nice, and rare, to see celebrity scandals end well for a change. Turns out Christina Aguilera’s boyfriend Matt Rutler was NOT too drunk to drive after all. Rutler got popped for DUI back in March, but citing insufficient evidence to prosecute, the L.A. District Attorney determined he won’t be charged with a crime. That’s because his blood alcohol content was ultimately determined to be .06, or under California’s legal limit to operate a vehicle, .08. So why was he busted? Matt has even more to smile about now that he’s in the clear! Aguilera, a passenger in the car at the time, was busted for public drunkenness when officers determined she was too plowed to take care of herself . Matt Rutler was likely arrested on suspicion of DUI by association. Hours after the arrest, officials decided they would not pursue any charges against the singer. Now they’ve exonerated her man, as well. Good for them. Well, except for the whole downward spiral thing.

Contrary to what the following magazine cover states, Kim Kardashian is not marrying Kris Humphries this year. But the reality star is doing what she does best in an interview with Life & Style : talking about her personal life in hypothetical, vague terms in order to make headlines for no valid reason whatsoever. The latest case in point: her eventual wedding to… somebody. “I’ve envisioned the whole thing,” Kim says. “I already know what my gown is going to look like. I’ve thought about it all for so long… What woman hasn’t thought about her wedding since she was a little girl?” Very few. But not many would land a tabloid cover story just for fantasizing about such an event. A friend tells the publication that Kardashian wants to talk down the aisle in “a white strapless floor-length gown” designed by Chanel. She also wants a “big diamond ring.” Shocking, we know. Meanwhile, aside from nuptials, Kim is dreaming of a family. She says: “I think I’ll name my kids with K’s to keep the tradition going… I want.. three to five kids!” God help each and every one of them.

The guest list at Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris’ wedding is mostly set. Holly Madison? Not on it. “I think Holly [Madison] has expressed publicly that it would be a little strange if she was there and I respect that,” the Playboy founder said Saturday. Madison had hoped to marry Hefner but eventually moved on and relocated to Las Vegas. Hefner, 85, moved on and got engaged to Crystal Harris, 24. The feud between Madison and Harris has been well documented. The former Girls Next Door star and Hef’s #1 girlfriend has slammed her replacement and even questioned Crystal’s motives for marrying him. We can’t imagine what she has to say about the couple’s reported lack of pre-nup . As for other gals who used to parade around Hef’s place nude? Despite Kendra Wilkinson’s claims that she hasn’t received a “Save The Date,” Hef said . “She knows she’s invited. The invitations haven’t gone out.” “I never expected to get married again,” he added. “But I can’t see myself with anybody else, and I just want to give that kind of statement.” “I think Crystal deserves it. I love happy endings.” So does she. Happy endings with so many zeroes. [Photos: WENN.com]
Dancing With the Stars’ Karina Smirnoff will bear all in May issue of Playboy . A Twitter post this afternoon from Hugh Hefner of all people confirmed this. “May issue of Playboy is unforgettable with Dancing With The Stars Karina Smirnoff on the cover & nude inside,” wrote the octogenarian founder. Not exactly something we would have predicted, but Karina certainly has the looks. Wonder if Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris vote for her on DWTS … Next month’s Playboy cover girl is a Dancing pro . Karina, who was once engaged to Maksim Chmerkovskiy, is currently engaged to MLB pitcher Brad Penny – and paired with Ralph Macchio on DWTS . [Photo: WENN.com]
