Steve Martin and Diane Keaton May Reunite for Comedy There are some cinematic couplings that are so full of cuteness that I get giddy at the thought of them reuniting. Steve Martin and Diane Keaton are one such couple, having totally endeared themselves to me in Father of the Bride (I just pretend that little sequel doesn't exist).
Reese Witherspoon took a break from hanging out with her own adorable kids to spend some time at a school in New Orleans as part of Idol Gives Back. She read stories, chatted, and posed for photos with the happy kids as part of the special charity episode of American Idol. The episode airs April 9 and will feature other celebs like Bono and Brad Pitt. Last year the event raked in $60 million, and we can't wait to see if Reese and everyone else can do an even better job this year.
Jamie Lynn Spears did some shopping at Babies R Us last week, proudly wearing a t-shirt that said "The Rumors are True" and showing off her shiny new engagement ring. She's been pretty upfront about the details of her pregnancy right from the start, but somehow it still feels a bit strange to see her growing baby bump. What do you think — are you still surprised to see Jamie Lynn pregnant?
Kate Bosworth is back in LA after her trip to NYC to promote 21, and one of the first items on her agenda was catching up with pals over lunch on Saturday. She put the black clothes away and brought out a multi-colored Spring dress — and, of course, she wore her new favorite Chloe Saskia bag. Hopefully her mood was as bright as her outfit, because she has some celebrating to do since her movie took the top spot at the weekend box office.
The cover of Vanity Fair's Green Issue shows Madonna with the whole world in her hands, and inside the issue she continues to show off her strength. The release of her upcoming album proves that she's an international force with no signs of slowing down, even if that includes some bad ideas (see after the jump). In the article she confidently talks about her life — past, present, and future. Here are highlights about Malawi, her album, and how she views the world:
On her decision to help in Malawi: “If you have children, you know you’re responsible for somebody. You realize you are being imitated; your belief systems and priorities have a direct influence on these children, who are like flowers in a garden. So you start to second-guess everything you value, and the suffering of other children becomes much more intolerable.”
On the music industry: “Well, there’s one thing you can’t download and that’s a live performance. And I know how to put on a show, and enjoy performing, and I’ll always have that.”
On making Hard Candy: “I didn’t have any idea what kind of music I wanted to make. I just knew I wanted to collaborate with Pharrell and Justin. I needed to be inspired and thought, well, who’s making records I like? So I went, ‘I like that guy and I like that guy.’ It’s not like we hit it off right away. Writing is very intimate. You have to be vulnerable and it’s hard to do that with strangers. I had ups and downs before everybody got comfortable, but I grew very fond of Pharrell and Justin.”

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden are still spreading their love all over Germany and Prague. You may not want to be Paris' BFF, but these two still seem smitten as ever. Over the weekend Benji was up on stage doing his Good Charlotte tour thing in Cologne and Prague while Paris was doing her own self-promotion on the German TV show Wetten, dass...? (Lets Make A Bet). Unfortunately, sometime during their sightseeing adventures, Paris took a bit of a fall hurting her chin and forcing her to hold her jacket/BlackBerry covering it up for the rest of her day. Sorry, I know it's horrible but a little bit funny? Ouch. At least we know Paris has a thick skin.
Stephanie Pratt didn't let a little darkness get in the way of her shopping trip in Beverly Hills. Her ensemble was the perfect mix of femininity and edginess, wearing studded Prada heels with a youthful Joie heart-print tank and straight leg jeans.
