Lindsay showed off her continued distaste for undergarments in NY this weekend. Linds, who could never be described as modest, seemed pretty comfortable playing a stripper in the upcoming film I Know Who Killed Me, thanks to Sheila Kelley's popular strip tease-based work-out, S Factor. The starlet isn't the only celeb who likes to work it while she works out -- Kate Hudson is also a fan of S Factor and takes classes in LA. The program is about so much more than dirty dancing; it's focused on body toning and self-confidence (though we can't imagine knowing the moves is a bad thing). Curious? FitSugar has teamed up with S Factor to offer you a free introductory class at the studio closest to you!

Okay, completely unrelated but equally important: don't forget tomorrow it's trivia again! This week we're keeping it all in the family (that's your hint so study up). Three lucky winners will be signing off with a fab PopSugar t-shirt so we'll see you in the chatroom at noon PST!

Katherine has been making headlines these days regarding salary drama on the set of Grey's. We're personally getting a little sick of Izzie but at least we can look forward to seeing her in some different roles soon. In fact, her next big screen movie, this summer's comedy Knocked Up, is already getting good reviews and she's just signed on to star in a romantic comedy called 27 Dresses. Her character is the classic case of always the bridesmaid never the bride, but her real romantic life is much sunnier -- she's engaged to singer Josh Kelley.

Hopefully seeing Katherine in a new role will win us back as a fan. We're more excited that Katherine might be a part of all the wedding coverage we will be including on the site so be sure to tune in starting next week when the Sugar Network starts our coverage of all things wedding season -- from the engagement to the honeymoon and everything in between!

Leo's visit to his girlfriend Bar's home in Israel certainly got off to a tumultuous start, but after the initial kerfuffle, the frenzy calmed down. The vacation didn't get less exciting though! This weekend, Leo and Bar were invited to sit down with Israeli Vice Premier and former Prime Minister Shimon Peres to discuss the political situation in the area as well as Leo's recent environmental activism. Here's more:

"The meeting was pleasant and interesting," says [Peres' aide]. "Shimon told Leo about his Peace Valley project [a joint Israeli-Jordanian-Palestinian economic development plan] and Leo spoke about [11th Hour,] his documentary on the environment."

The aide says Peres asked DiCaprio to help promote the stalled Middle East peace process and to further campaign for protecting the environment globally. According to the source, DiCaprio promised to help on both issues.

With Leo's commitment and passion, hopefully he will be able to be of help on both these crucial issues. Unfortunately, soon after the meeting, Leo learned that his aunt had passed away and had to cut his vacation short in order to be in Germany for the funeral. Our thoughts are with Leo and his family during this sad time.

Jake suited up with some serious shades while working on Rendition in Morocco. Unfortunately, the recent rumors about Jake ditching the business attire for a superhero suit have been put to rest, for now. Screenwriter John August, who is signed on to adapt the Captain Marvel character into a screenplay, has denied that Jake (or anyone) was approached for the role. We're disappointed with this recent development, but our hopes are high that the casting director will keep Jake in mind when the time comes. We can't think of anyone we'd rather see in a cape and tights!

Jake may not be saving the world on the big screen just yet, but as reader Lindsb pointed out, he's one of the growing number of celebs getting involved in saving the environment in real life. Yay, Jake!

Perhaps I spoke too soon elevating Fergie from the oft-used "butterface" to the entirely made up "AndHerFace" status. Not that there's anything wrong with Fergie's face per se in these pics, mostly just her lips. And mostly just the color of her lips (though are they usually that, um, pronounced?) at that. Also, she's orange. So I'll still get behind the general positive upswing of cute for the Fergs, just not in this shade.

Wow! Salma has gone from surprisingly engaged and pregnant to engaged and pregnant in the span of two weeks. While we still don't know all that much about Salma's fiance or their relationship (other than that he has boatloads of money and is CEO of PPR, an international corporation that owns luxury brands like Gucci and YSL), sources close to the Ugly Betty producer say that once she got together with Francois, whom had been a friend of hers for years, she didn't want to wait any longer to have the baby she desires. I, on the other hand, can't wait to see Salma's adorable little baby (with Godmother Penelope perhaps?) and catch a look at what that wedding is going to entail. Something tells me it's going to be lavish.

Nothings better than kicking off a Monday with new Clooney pics! George is still hard at work on the set of Leatherheads, which he is both directing and starring in himself. We're sure he's got his hands full with all those responsibilities, but at least there's one big hurdle that he doesn't have to worry about this time. Turns out, while filming The Good German there was a little bit of on-set trouble with the, uh, German part. Here's more:

“It was brutal,” Clooney told Australia’s Herald Sun. “We had a dialect coach on the set who apparently didn’t speak any German. We didn’t know. He would say, ‘That was good.’” But when the film was shown to German speakers, they couldn’t understand a word of what Clooney said. Director Mike Nichols, who was born in Germany and speaks the language, was called onto the set to help out. “So, for dubbing, Mike was my dialect coach,” Clooney explained. “He would say, ‘Okay, say this.’ Every word of it was from Mike Nichols.”

We're sure George was good-natured as always about the whole mix up. Just another reason to love him -- after that sexy smile of course!

Ashton may have been the most annoying part (IMHO) of the generally funny Punk'd, but at least he's been laying low long enough to be pleasantly inoffensive again. In fact, he looks pretty darn cute in these pics of him out in LA this weekend. Never one to stay quiet for too long, though, Ashton is about to hit the small screen again* to showcase his keen candid camera skills. Next month, NBC is premiering Ashton's new project, The Real Wedding Crashers, which, as you may have guessed from the title, is based on the movie and will be about improv actors going undercover at real weddings, though I assume it will be less about sleeping with random women. Awwww, I'm sure the happy couples will be so pleased to be a part of this...

* Yeaaah, it's probably best that he avoid the movie circuit -- remember how bad Guess Who was?
