Angelina Jolie put on her activist pants in Washington DC this afternoon to help launch Global Action for Children. According to a press release, the GAC is "a nonpartisan advocacy organization focused on increasing funding by $2.5 billion per year by the US government for programs that support orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and provide free primary school education in developing countries." After last night's Idol Giving Bonanza, Angelina obviously felt like she needed to get her activism on, too. I kid, obviously she's always into children's advocacy not just today. On a side note, though, man, she looks gorgeous.
Britney went back to wearing her favorite heinous boots while headed to a tanning salon to get her orange on this week. The latest rumor is that she's been calling the paparazzi agencies before she heads out so they can get pics of her new slim figure. Probably not a good idea since she's already risking overexposure. Everyone is kind of getting tired of the girl so when she does try to comeback no one may be around to listen. She should lay low and give us something to look forward to when she comes out of hiding but we doubt that's going to happen anytime soon.
In other Britney news Larry Rudolph is gearing up for a lawsuit. He has hired lawyers to sue Britney for breach of contract.
Something about this picture of Leo just sort of makes me giggle. Maybe it's that he's using the straw to drink his mysterious clear beverage.* I know it's not inherently feminine -- and really, what does that even mean? -- but something about the straw just seems so dainty. Maybe it's the way that cigarette is dangling from his hand. (BTW, smoking inside Marquee? Tsk tsk.) No matter what the reason, I'm loving this shot of Leo. Hot, cute, funny, whatever. Yum.
* BTW, what do you guys think he's drinking? Gin and Tonic? Vodka/Soda? Lohan water? I must admit I'm curious, I would have pegged him as a brown booze drinker.
Pam Anderson slipped back into the red lifeguard bathing suit that made her a star on Baywatch (maybe for a commercial, but we're not quite sure). You guys were pretty certain that Cindy Crawford has still got it, so now we want to know - do you think Pam is still hot?
Idol Gives Back was a great concept and we're glad they raised millions (final amount still being tallied) but the show was a little bit of a disappointment. Well I guess the duet was the biggest let down. The 6 contestants were psyched for the non-elimination round. I know I can't wait to see 2 drop off next week. Buzz predicted they would be spared an elimination and it looks like she was right. As for the highlights of last night - Gwyneth Paltrow's body! Damn those workouts have paid off! Also Sarah Michelle Gellar - stop teasing us. The loose top and non full body shots just make us think there's something brewing in that tummy. Finally, you gotta love Simon with the Simpsons. See he is a good sport.

Christina Ricci headed to DC this week to announce that she's joined RAINN, the country's largest anti-sexual assault organization as their National Spokesperson. She will accompany them next month on Capitol Hill to ask legislators to fund the Justice for all Act which will use DNA evidence to help solve a backlog of rape cases. This is obviously heavy stuff, and Christina gets big props for lending her star power and passion to the cause.
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.
