Hilary Duff was looking red hot showing off her legs during a visit to TRL yesterday. She's been making her way through NYC promoting War, Inc, but at the premiere last night, she couldn't help straying off topic of her new film just a little. She talked about her boyfriend Mike being supportive and patient as well as her latest hockey obsession. When asked to weigh in on the Miley Cyrus' Vanity Fair photo, Hilary kept it classy saying, "Who am I to judge decisions that she made?" Miley could learn a lesson from the former Disney star.
Jessica Simpson's sunshine yellow dress on the cover of Glamour matches right up with her bubbly personality in the interview. She can't help gushing about how much she is enjoying life right now, from her relationship with Tony to her upcoming country album. Plus, as dolled up as she may be for her photoshoots, she also says that she's never felt more natural and down to earth, thanks to her new man. Here are highlights:
On reading the tabloids: "I'm not going to lie and say that I don't want to see Tony and me in the pictures. It is good airplane reading if you throw it away when you get off; I'm good at that. I am not the type of person who believes everything she reads, but I like to look at photos and see what people are wearing. That's interesting to me."
On the first time she saw Tony: "The cute story is that my family and I were watching a Cowboys game. I was going through my divorce and--Tony would die if I told you this--but [on television there was a story] about him. They said his celebrity dream crush was Jessica Simpson."
On how Tony makes her feel: "He's a motivational speaker. Because he's a quarterback, a leader. He keeps his team focused. What he's done for me is irreplaceable. I wrote a song for him called "Back in My Old Boots." I feel like I'm walking back in my old boots. Jessica Simpson didn't lose herself along the way. He reintroduced me to myself. I thought that I had to be deeper, more profound and more artsy. You change with the guys you date. [I thought] I had to be more intellectual. Come on--just be yourself! Tony taught me that because he loves me [as me]. He made me feel comfortable [being myself] again."
Jessica's had her share of relationships with celebrities, but it sounds like she's finally ready to settle down out of the spotlight. We love seeing her all dressed up, but hearing about how happy she is in her own skin is even better.
John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston are making headlines today, thanks to the InTouch cover showing them hanging out super close poolside in Miami. Now we have even more pics of the maybe new couple sunbathing together. Check out the photos and tell us what you think of Jen and John as a couple — hot or not?
Just in time to get settled in before Cannes, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and their four kids have relocated to France. The family is staying at Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen's gorgeous villa in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat on the French Riviera — um, must be nice — from now through the film festival, but are still rumored to be looking for a place to buy in the area. Beyond having an amazing view of the Mediterranean, the estate has a staff of 12. In February we reported that Angelina wanted to have her new baby in France in honor of her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand, so it sounds like this stay may be until there are more Jolie-Pitts! Hopefully this means we'll see more family film festival time while they're all abroad.
Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson had another hoodie fabulous afternoon of shopping in LA yesterday. While LL has plenty of time to waste with her BFF, she's apparently still hard at work on her music, and rumored collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Timbaland, and Pharrell actually sound pretty interesting. Lindsay is laying pretty low, but unfortunately the same can't be said for Dina. She was partying and dancing all night long after the Made of Honor premiere on Monday. We never thought Dina was the best role model, but at least Lindsay was far away from her mother's embarrassing late-night antics.
Neil Diamond! This had to have been my mom's favorite episode ever (next to Andrew Lloyd of course)! Unfortunately for us, the final five didn't step up this week. Thankfully we have crazy Paula to talk about. In case you missed it, the clip below includes the most wacked out moment of the night. Do you think she was just confused since she probably spends a lot more time at rehearsals than the other judges?
As for the rest of the evening, overall . . .
Jason Castro started off OK. I liked "Forever in Blue Jeans" more than the judges, but I felt like they needed an animated sparkle in his eye to top off the performance. The judges want the old Jason back and I think if he doesn't change it up next week then he is out.
David Cook wins the night again. It was a nice touch to sport the AC initials on his blazer and guitar in support of his brother. The judges loved his songs, Simon called him brilliant, and Paula even said she felt like she was already looking at the next America Idol (of course she also brought out the crazy last night so that isn't saying much).
Brooke's first song made me declare myself SO over her. Fortunately she was much better the second time around, but I still think she is most likely to be voted off this week.
Archuleta is every 13-year-old girl's dream come true, and since they are the ones voting, he obviously has a great shot at the title. The first song didn't wow anyone but considering his choice of "Sweet Caroline," it's sad he couldn't bring us to our feet. The judges were more responsive to his second song, and it looks like he's hoping America is as well.
Syesha was old fashioned, according to Simon, on her first song, but she was the best dressed (great hair and makeup) and most energetic last night. I think Simon is making it obvious he doesn't want her to win considering his comments last night but who knows, maybe he is using his best reverse psychology on us.

Singer and actress Selena Gomez posed for pictures at the 2009 American Music Awards with a pretty pink smile on her face. She took advantage of the occasion and went glam; wearing a Talbot Runhof sequin dress with black strappy heels.
