Celebrity Style: Bar Refaeli Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend, Bar Refaeli, chose a body-con Roberto Cavalli lace-trim dress for the Sports Illustrated 2008 swimsuit issue launch party. It's a fine choice considering the event and her fabulous figure. Her taupe version is sold out, but if you want the super-sexy dress, check out the black version ($1,730). Bellissima!
Tina Fey really went all out with the sexy, while Alec Baldwin kept it a little more casual at last night's Gotham Magazine Gala in NYC. The dynamic duo share the cover of the glossy this month, and inside the pages Tina Fey talks about not being all hot. Think again, Vixen. Anyway, now that the writers' strike is officially over, I for one can't wait to come running back to TV for new episodes of 30 Rock. Seriously, if you're not watching this show you definitely should. Maybe reading some of their funny interview will help convince you. Here are highlights:
Tina on the future of 30 Rock: I think Alec being on the show bought us a lot of time. He’s such a brilliant actor and he’s not someone you get to see for free on TV. I think he absolutely bought us the whole first year. But I think that people who see the show really do like it; it’s just a question of getting people to try it out. We have the label of a “low-rated” or “poorly rated” show, but we’re doing better this year. And it’s weird, because on the same day I’ll see us referred to as “the low-rated 30 Rock” in the paper, and then I’ll read “the hit show Gossip Girl.” We rate higher than Gossip Girl, but there’s a different expectation [when a show is] on NBC as opposed to the CW. Gotham: Have you seen Gossip Girl? TF: No, but the children on it are very beautiful.
Tina's resolutions for 2008: Maybe an attempt at a less vulgar life. Less cursing, less bile. I sort of got into trouble last year — I went on Howard Stern and ran my mouth a little bit about Paris Hilton. [Fey called Hilton a “piece of s—-” and said she “looks like a tranny,” among other things.] Not only was that not the right way for a 37-year-old woman to behave, but I went to my gynecologist for my yearly checkup shortly thereafter and she was like, “I read that thing [you said about Paris Hilton] in the paper. That was very hostile. Are you all right?” And I was like, You know what? You’re right. That was very hostile. What business is it of mine? So, starting there: being less vulgar and more . . . kind isn’t the right word for it. Perhaps more “Christian” in my dealings with people. Yeah, less vulgar. More Christian.

American Idol: Hey, It's Hollywood Week! American Idol knows what to do with good singers, crowning champions and giving them record deals. And it knows what to do with bad singers, putting them on TV for weeks and weeks at the start of every season to give America a laugh. But it really doesn't know what to do with mediocrity, and that's what makes the Hollywood Week portion of the season so annoying.
Everyone's least-favorite reality couple, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, started their Valentine's Day celebration early with some champagne and kissy faces at EA's Burnout Paradise last night. Heidi's new video has been mostly laughed at by pretty much everyone since it hit the internet, and of course she had to answer back to all of the negative attention. She said, "I cried myself to sleep that first night after my video came out. I just couldn't understand why people I didn't even know felt the need to be so cruel and hurtful toward me."
Don't feel too bad for poor Heidi though — not only is the song No. 7 on iTunes, but the "starlet" already has a backup plan in the words. She's working on Heidiwood, a new collection of clothes that will be out this Spring. Can't wait to hear what LC has to say about that one. If you are one of the few fans of Heidi's music career, she's also got a new video coming our way, and according to Spencer, it will "blow people’s minds very soon." Well, it can't be any worse than her last video, right?
Kate Beckinsale was spotted leaving the hair salon in LA looking perfectly coiffed from head to toe. She wore a shirtdress over leggings, pairing it with Fiorentini + Baker buckle boots and a cozy scarf for a Fall-appropriate look.
