As many of you know Madonna holds a very special place in my heart. She's more than an entertainer to many of us - she's an inspiration. We just want to congratulate Madonna on 25 years of fabulousness - music, fashion, motherhood and more. We can't wait to see what she has in store for us in the future. Here's more from Madonna's official website:

It may seem like only yesterday but 25 years ago on April 24, 1982, Sire Records honcho Seymour Stein released a single called "EVERYBODY" on Warner Bros. Records by an unknown singer from Rochester, Michigan by the name of Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone. To say the world would never be the same is an understatement. The song went on to become a huge dancefloor hit and was heard all over the radio in the Summer of 1982. That little girl from Michigan would go on to become one of the most famous entertainers and cultural icons in history - selling close to 200 million records and remaining a star of enormous magnitude and influence for the next 25 years. She's just getting started. Long Live the Queen and Happy Anniversary to Madonna.

Ashlee and Pete continued their love fest by sharing Frappuccinos the other day in Beverly Hills. Pete is about to venture into a different kind of drinking world. He is opening up a bar called Angels & Kings in NYC next week. He recently sat down with New York Magazine to tell them all about it. We were hoping he'd say something about Ashlee since the last time he bad mouthed her, but no such luck. Here's more:

• What kind of changes will you make to the bar?:
  Dudes can use the chicks’ bathroom and vice versa, so that girls don’t have to wait in line. And we’re raising the D.J. booth because the D.J. should be like God. He shouldn’t have to deal with anyone trying to talk to him. We’re not trying to make a pile of cash and have this place that’s written up everywhere —it’s just a cool idea.
• What about the tentative opening night, April 30. Are you planning anything special?
  For sure! I’m gonna watch all my friends get wasted and puke everywhere. It’s gonna be really funny. And since I was little dude, I’ve always had a dream of sliding somebody down the bar. You know what I’m talking about? Like they did in cowboy movies? I think I might make that a reality.

Sometimes it's hard to really visualize what these two would talk about when they're together. I guess there's always the pseudo punk thing, the skinny jean look and eye make up tips.

The stars of Heroes were out in their Springtime best last night to celebrate the show being back on air after a hiatus (and what an exciting episode it was). Noticeably absent from both the show and the party was Hayden's character Claire's BFF, Zach. Apparently he was written off Heroes when his manager had a fit over the character of Zach being gay. Wow, you'd think that the young actor's management would want to do what they could to keep him on the hit series. I'd also like to believe we've come farther than that in the field of typecasting. The show must go on, however, and judging from last night's episode, there's a lot more excitement to come this season!

Liv was looking very summery in her fashionable floral dress as she stepped out of her West Village town house this week. She headed over to the Free Arts Benefit which raises money to bring art to abused and neglected children. Liv has opened up in the past regarding a healthy weight and now she's saying that hibernating isn't the best thing for a new mom, especially one who wants to lose weight. She tells Britain's You magazine all about her personal battle with the baby bulge. Here's more:

"I was not one of those women who just dropped pounds instantly when I was breastfeeding....Actually, I got so homely I was ravenous for things like doughnuts and cakes."

"I can remember walking down the street one day – I was going to the nail salon – when ... a photographer took my picture," she recalls.

"I was wearing a very unflattering shirt that I had worn when I was pregnant and a pair of sweat pants, and when the picture appeared in a magazine they ran a caption asking if I was pregnant again. When I saw it I said, 'I think the holiday is over.' "

Once focused on taking action, "I did a million different things," she says. "I would be on a strict protein diet and then a raw diet, and then I would do colonics and fasting. And I did Pilates, yoga and working out with my trainer."

Colonics and fasting?! Those are some pretty drastic measures. She's looking good now but hopefully she's on a more healthy diet and exercise regimen! To check out more pics just read more

Heidi Klum and two of her three little bebes spent the afternoon shopping in LA this weekend. As usual, the smallest one stayed at home. Mama Heidi is a far cry from Very Sexy Victoria's Secret Heidi (oooor hair brushed Heidi), but I always love her and that amazing accent! Unfortunately, ProjRun, my favorite of Heidi's jobs, isn't coming back until late this year (like, December! Booo! Hisss!) so looking at pictures and imagining her talking about designs is all we're gonna get for now.

It's nice to see Kate out on the town with Owen but even better to see her smiling from ear to ear with the most important (little) man in her life. Kate and Ryder ventured out in Soho yesterday without Owen. It would be great to see the three blondes together but we're not sure Kate is ready for those pics to get out. Some are even starting pregnancy rumors as part of the reason these two finally stepped out in public. She certainly doesn't look pregnant to us.

So the Diggers premiere may not have been a brilliantly star-studded event, but, like BuzzSugar, I'm a sucker for all things Paul Rudd. To the left of Paul is Ken Marino (aka that cute boy you probably recognize from something) and Josh Hamilton who is totally rocking that beard. The movie itself looks pretty sweet (I mean, it's no Wet Hot American Summer...but what is?) and this whole cast of boys is darn cute if I do say so myself. Seriously though, how could you not love Paul after Clueless?
