After their big premiere party in the Hamptons over the weekend, the kids of Gossip Girl were back to work in NYC yesterday afternoon. While the girls look like they kept things a little more civil this time around, Leighton and Blake were happy to talk about the much anticipated S vs. B scuffle coming our way. Miss Lively said, "We were laughing so hard . . . it was 1a.m. and it was rainy out. We were ad-libbing." While I can't wait to see what causes the claws to come out, in case you missed any of the season one action, it's out on DVD today, so study up! Only a few weeks before classes and catfights resume Sept. 1.
The highly anticipated 90210 spinoff will premiere two weeks from tonight, and not even the critics will get a chance to check it out before then. The CW has decided not to release the first episode beforehand, raising eyebrows since it's unusual to keep a pilot under wraps. What do you think — is it a bad sign that the 90210 spinoff won't be reviewed early?
The Hills Beauty Quiz: We'll Never Be Friends Season Four of The Hills rolled out last night, setting the stage for drama ahead. How close were you watching these lovely ladies' hair, makeup, and nail choices last night? Take my beauty quiz to test your memory, and check back next week for another set of questions.
Michael Phelps may be getting a much-deserved break after making history at the Summer Olympics, but you can rest assured that his huge grin and hot body aren't going anywhere anytime soon. He's been jonesing for a Big Mac since his final swim, and yesterday Michael spent some of his 10,000 calorie diet on lunch at McDonald's with some of his pint-sized fans. Today it was back to showing off that beach bod with his fellow swimmers in Beijing, and he looked pretty happy to take a break from all of those skintight suits and rock the board shorts for a change. Of course, part of the fun of celebrating comes with doing press — tomorrow you can pick up his latest cover for Sports Illustrated, but you'll have to wait until September to get your very own box of Michael Phelps Frosted Flakes (no Wheaties for this guy).
With the massive amount of media attention he's been getting, it's no big surprise that the women of the world are wondering about the relationship status of Mr. Phelps. He's already shot down rumors that he's dating fellow US Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard, but he hasn't commented on the news that he may be involved with British model Lily Donaldson or revealed that he's dating anyone else, saying, "Part of my life is kept to myself. I'm able to relax and be with my friends. Those pretty much are the only people who really know the answer to that question." While his "Mom of the Games" will always be number one, there is one other lady he did open up about — his celebrity crush is Cameron Diaz.
Kate Beckinsale, Len Wiseman, and Lily continued their enviable Cabo vacation yesterday. This time the family took part in a little snorkeling between sessions showing off those beach bodies laying in the sun. Naturally Kate has an endless supply of bikinis for her vacation, and who could complain about more shirtless Len Wiseman? Not us. While we all know (and love) how frisky Kate and Len can get on the beach, it looks like this little trip is more family friendly and less peekaboo.
The Hills Tech Quiz: S4 Episode 1 — "We'll Never Be Friends" Did you watch the season premiere last night? Looks like the drama will never die down! I won't totally spoil it in case you missed all the action and are going to catch a rerun this week, but I will say this — there weren't a whole lot of new tech treats to stare at, so if you need to brush up on your Hills cell phone and tech knowledge to gear up for this Summer, you can check it all out here!
Rachel Zoe was photographed walking down Robertson, Starbucks in hand, looking ready for some serious shopping. She looked chic in her round sunglasses and Chanel bag, which she wore with of-the-moment thigh-high boots, a denim Current/Elliott biker jacket, and printed scarf.
