Lindsay Lohan bares all — no, really — for the cover of New York magazine's Spring fashion issue. Photographer Bert Stern re-created his famous final photoshoot with Marilyn Monroe, making yet another bold comparison between the two actresses. Just like in the original shoot, the blonde bombshell in front of the camera (LL wore a wig) stripped down to nothing. We've got the more safe photos compiled here, but check out the NY mag site for all the NSFW glory. I know that LL loves her body, but I was still a little shocked to wake up and see this. As for why she went along with it, Lindsay said it was a no brainer, "I didn’t have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It’s really an honor." Lohan on the Marilyn painting hanging in her house:

"It’s eerie,” Lohan said of the painting, a Christmas gift, “because it’s this picture of her, and it’s kind of cartoony, and there’s a big bottle of pills next to her, and they’ve fallen over.” Lohan called Monroe’s suicide “tragic,” and then added, elliptically, “You know, it’s also tragic what just recently happened to someone else.” I asked whether she was referring to Heath Ledger. She nodded: “They are both prime examples of what this industry can do to someone.” Why some and not others, I asked, since it has often seemed that the thrice-rehabbed Lohan might meet a similar fate. Lohan replied with a flicker of annoyance: “I don’t know. I’m not them. But I sure as hell wouldn’t let it happen to me.”
Lindsay Lohan seems pretty confident in the control she has over herself so fingers crossed all those rumors about her drinking again don't mean she's headed back down a bad path. Let's just hope that LL keeps her Marilyn Monroe imitation to photoshoots, paintings, and racy rumors.

Jay-Z and LeBron James played host to their second annual Two Kings Dinner in New Orleans on Saturday to celebrate last night's NBA All-Star Game and, of course, themselves. They flashed their pearly whites alongside Beyonce and Gabrielle Union, just to name a couple of the guests. The party was hosted by Doublemint, so there were clearly lots of gum chewing to go along with those smiles (as you can see in Jay's mouth). After a week of unnecessary drama surrounding the Grammy Awards and Aretha Franklin, I'm sure B was happy to have a weekend of relaxing with her man topped off with a basketball game. Beyond Jay-Z being owner of an NBA team, the couple always seem to be just good old basketball fans.

Eva Longoria has been pretty obsessed with telling the world that she's not pregnant recently (not that we asked) and what better way to squash the baby rumors (that don't really exist) than by showing off her hot bikini body. She and Tony skipped out on all the NBA All-Star game weekend festivities and instead took advantage of the break in his schedule with a quick trip down to Mexico. Good call on that. Also, what better way to finish up that lengthy writers' strike hiatus than with a little vacation — Desperate Housewives returns to production this week. It's a good thing too, because after the dismal response to Over Her Dead Body maybe it would be good for Mrs. Longoria-Parker to stick to TV for now.

This weekend continued to be a nice and quiet one for Britney Spears. She stayed away from the bad boys and even got all dressed up for a night out with her dad. The twosome went to Social with a small party and apparently the group was calm and normal. These are words that have not been used to describe Britney in a long time so thankfully things seem to be going in the right direction. On top of Dad's help, apparently she can also count on Heidi Klum. The supermodel said, "She can call me and come live in our house with us for a couple of months... I would help set her straight." That would certainly make for an interesting reality show.

Yes, I know, these photos are super blurry but it's been so long since we've seen the whole Jolie-Pitt crew together so we just had to share them. One by one the six-piece group filed onto their private jet in Santa Barbara on Saturday — seems like a lot of kids to wrangle in, but I'm sure they've got the routine down by now. Plus we all know that there may even be another one on the way. All the little kiddies are looking so much bigger, especially Maddox in his camo outfit and Shiloh's longer blonde hair. The little tow-headed cutie looks like she's grown up a lot since we last saw her in December. Speaking of longer hair, check out Pax's 'do. Such a little rock star already. Hopefully we'll get a clearer picture of the family soon, but until then it's always nice to get a glimpse of the whole family.

This weekend Paris slutted it — Pussycat Doll style for her birthday in Las Vegas. The heiress looked like a porn star (oh yes that is how she became a household name) at the Pussycat Lounge where she introduced the girls and enjoyed some cake. Later that night her sister Nicky was there to help her celebrate her birthday again, this time at Pure. Paris changed into a cute LWD that was way more innocent but we're thinking her behavior still wasn't all that clean. So much for reinventing herself after jail. In this case another year older does not translate into another year wiser.

Lots more pictures of Paris wearing next to nothing and then trying to be all innocent so just read more
