Jessica Simpson's Esquire cover wasn't the best photo of her in the world, but she washed off the shaving cream (and everything else) for the steamy spread inside the magazine. Quite the far cry from her casual daytime looks, Jessica hits the showers and proves that she's still got a whole lot of sexiness under her silly disposition. In fact, Tony Romo might have to watch out that his teammates don't have her pictures pinned up in their lockers when football season comes around again.
Let's Dish: Hell's Kitchen 4.2
Didn't you think last night's episode of Hell's Kitchen got off to a much better start than the first episode? The contestants had to dig through garbage, fillet, slice, and portion a whole halibut — finally something a chef really has to do, prep halibut! — and cook dinner service. For winning the halibut challenge, the boys got alone time with Ramsay on a yacht.
Jay-Z performed with Mary J. Blige in Atlanta last night, while his new bride watched from the audience sporting a nice big diamond on her left hand. Meanwhile, more details keep emerging about their big day — in addition to having a 5'8'' wedding cake, the ceremony included 75 boxes of perfectly bloomed white and cream orchids. We know B and Jay are private, but still, we'd just love to hear the bride or groom gush about, or even admit, their big day. So tell us — do you think the couple will ever talk about their wedding?
Good girl gone bad Rihanna got a little more tough girl last night adding new ink to her skin. She had Chris Brown by her side at a Manhattan tattoo parlor where she got the star tattoo on her back extended before heading off to a surprise birthday party for Melissa Forde. The maybe/maybe not dating duo obviously showed up to the bash separately, but he was sure to be by her side with a hand to squeeze while enduring the tattoo pain. Ouch.
Zooey and Chloë Rhyme Names, Team Up for Divorce Ranch These two lovely ladies of the indie film world will team up for a new little comedy titled Divorce Ranch, led by longtime director Michael Lindsay-Hogg. According to Variety: Divorce Ranch is set in Nevada just after WWII, when a quickie divorce could be granted after residency was established.
Britney Spears went for a drive around LA last night after her stop at McDonald's. Her life has come a long way since roaming around town was a nightly event and she's getting ready to show the judge that she can handle more time with her sons. One more way she hopes to prove herself at the May 6 hearing along with that possible furniture project is teaming up with Ed Hardy's Christian Audigier for a T-shirt line. Although Mark Vincent Kaplan has already made it clear that getting more custody won't be easy for Brit, taking on more responsibilities and staying consistent can only mean more good things in the future.
Finally! An entertaining episode where almost all of the performances were worth watching! The group inspired me to vote last night.
Michael Johns "Dream On" = excellent!
Syesha hit the high notes, but I was not a fan of her Fanstasia song choice.
Jason Castro knows how to pick 'em. Great song choice and performance!
Kristy Lee stepped it up. Her looks are what will keep her in, but her voice actually proved to be excellent this week.
David Cook was good but sadly not as memorable as weeks past.
Carly picked a great song, but I am just not that into her.
David Archuleta will win over even more fans than his already huge following. It was the first song of his I have really liked in a while.
Brooke continues to be all sunshine and puppies. Clearly she is all about being happy and did her best Gwyneth Paltrow lookalike impression paired with that soft sweet voice. It's marketing gold.
To read a more in-depth recap click here and don't forget to vote off who you think will be sent home. Since it's Idol Gives Back week, we're thinking they may not do the elimination round like last year, but if there is a bottom three then I am guessing Carly, Syesha, and David Cook (sorry, buddy, but your time has come to feel the heat). The real mystery of the night isn't about who will be booted off but what was going on with Paula's boobs. Poor things looked in pain.
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.
