Britney Spears was working hard in the dance studio this week and decided to give us a peek into her tour-preparation progress. Last time, we were impressed with how toned she looked in her cropped shirt and now she's even hotter! For this session she showed off a variety of tops, including a skimpy bikini — perhaps getting used to shaking her stuff wearing next to nothing on stage. Britney recently revealed the stage set up for her Circus tour and she's staying true to her theme with a three-ring stage. Britney has done an admirable job of staying out of the spotlight recently until she's ready to burst back into the spotlight in front of thousands of fans.
Orlando Bloom showed off a new look on the LA set of Sympathy for Delicious yesterday. He seemed a bit wary to show everyone his wig — and rightfully so since it's not quite his hottest look. Also on set was the film's director, Mark Ruffalo, who is now focusing on his work since his brother's tragic death last month. Orlando wound up in this movie after James Franco had to drop out, but it's hard to imagine that hot James would look good with that hair either.
After spending the weekend in Miami with his wife and daughters, Matt Damon was back in his original stomping ground, Boston, yesterday. He was there to speak at the Kennedy Presidential Library about his work in Haiti, though it's some other comments of his that have people talking this week. Not only did Matt call Bond a "repulsive" "sociopath" and more, but after recent political comments Damon has also been offered $10,000 to debate former NYT columnist Bill Kristol about the Iraq war. Sounds like a sticky subject but if anyone in Hollywood could hold their own in that forum, Matt would be the guy.
On Monday, a fairly unflattering set of photos of Jessica Simpson hit the Internet setting off a ton of unkind headlines mostly centered around her weight. While most of you agreed that her jeans were the biggest culprit and there's nothing wrong with a few curves, hopefully Jessica has stayed away. Her sister, on the other hand, hasn't and she took to her blog to write about how angry it makes her. Since Jessica seems happier than ever with Tony, maybe acknowledging the haters will only make it worse. Ashlee wrote:
Since when did a woman's weight become newsworthy...
I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister's weight. A week after the inauguration and with such a feeling of hope in the air for our country, I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman's weight or figure as a headline on Fox News.
All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you're a celebrity, there shouldn't be a different standard. Is this something you would say to your wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, or even a friend? I seriously doubt it. How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure? Now can we focus on the things that really matter.
So tell us — do you agree with Ashlee about Jessica's weight debate?
Yesterday Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt brought their whole family into Tokyo to much fanfare and providing some of the cutest photos and video of the family, including the new twins! This morning, however, Brad only had a comfy sweater and David Fincher to promote Benjamin Button. Now when we see Brad, it's hard not to think about his mini me Knox right down to the matching hats. While Brad is still hot — and it looks like the mustache is staying around? — we're hoping for another look at the family on their overseas adventure.
Jennifer Garner took a day off from the school run yesterday, instead spending time with her look-alike sister in LA. Ben also had some sister-in-law company while picking up Violet, a routine he opened up about over the weekend while promoting He's Just Not That Into You. He was asked about text messaging in relationships, saying, "I correspond with my wife that way. . . she's like, 'Get over here. Pick this sh*t up! It's time for you to go get our daughter!'" Ben was probably joking around because it certainly doesn't look like a chore picking up adorable Violet.
Matthew McConaughey was out for his usual jog near his Malibu home yesterday afternoon. He was accompanied on the run by his faithful dog, who seems as excited to run on pavement as he does on sand. The rest of his family took the morning off, but Matthew's dedication to staying in shape with his loyal buddy is what keeps his hot bod looking so fantastic.
Jenna Dewan walked down the street in Beverly Hills looking extremely chic and poised. Her structured white blazer framed her body perfectly, and paired well over her draped fringe Haute Hippie halter which she wore with denim leggings and over-the-knee brown boots.
