The Downtown Art Walk Review (In Which I Pretend I Know Fuck-all About Art)
11:10AM Defamer Hollywood | As an ex-New Yorker who is brand spanking new to L.A., the concept of downtown being a dead zone is quite strange. And having only driven through late at night (going the wrong way, on a one-way street, natch) I was curious to see what an L.A. downtown art walk would be like (held every second Thursday of the month from 12 to 9). Art Walks in Seattle’s Pioneer Square were fun, but were too often filled with “Look ma, I has knitted you a rainbow hat!”–a/k/a bad hippie art. And the Chelsea Art Walks in NYC were impenetrable and thick with snobbery and unintentional comedy: rich people wearing all black, posing seriously in front of pictures with their heads cocked just so to the sides. L.A.’s version proved to be far more pleasant and interesting–exhilarating even. Won’t you join along as I take you on a photographic tour? More »
Britney Spears Lets Her Weave Down On Mel Gibson-Funded Vacation, But Who’s The Mystery Man?
4:20AM Molly Friedman | Jennifer Aniston did it first, quickly followed by Blake Lively. Now Britney Spears has pulled out this spring’s most reliable accessory to nab a boy toy: the bikini. While sobering up at Casa Gibson down in Costa Rica, Spears spent the weekend looking happier than she has in months in two very itty bitty string bikinis adorned with tattoo parlor jargon. And in between bouts of boogie-boarding, golf cart-riding and rounds of Hide-and-Seek played amidst driftwood, Spears appeared to have successfully lined up a male suitor of her own. Who the mystery man might be, and a closer look at Spears’ ongoing tendency to block her possibly-knocked up belly from sight, after the jump.
Emmanuelle Chirqui’s Topless Photo Shoot Lures LAPD’s ‘Areola’ Squad
6:50AM Molly Friedman | Though celebrities dropping trou for the glossies has proven both controversial in Miley Cyrus’ case, and “artsy” in Lindsay Lohan’s, both of these spreads were intelligently shot behind closed doors. But when GQ decided to photograph Entourage’s Emmanuelle Chirqui fully exposing her curves in the bright light of day, controversy didn’t come by way of conservative media pundits. It arrived in the form of the LAPD’s official nudity-watch squad, who interrupted the shoot to get a closer look make sure all was okay on set. As Chirqui recalls, one pervy fed stepped in as art director and instructed the crew “Could you make sure that her areolas aren’t showing?” See what all the fuss was about for yourself after the jump:
Blake Lively Learns From Jennifer Aniston’s Poolside Seduction Techniques
6:45AM Molly Friedman | It’s always cute when newbie stars brush off rumours about their love lives by calling them “silly” and saying “we’re just good friends!” Fresh faces like Gossip Girl’s blonde bombshell Blake Lively have yet to learn that making public denials like these mean only one thing: the rumours are true. Back in January, Lively said just that regarding tabloid stories linking her to on-screen make-out partner Penn Badgley (he’s the hot-but-nerdy one, a la Seth Cohen on The OC). And shockingly (!), pictures released today prove not only that Blake and Penn have been fooling around poolside – in an uncanny rendition of Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer’s beachy-keen gallery last week – but that they may actually make it after all.

Colin Farrell Becomes Latest Member Of ‘How To Gain Acting Cred By Losing Weight’ Club
5:25AM Molly Friedman | In the latest attempt by a Hollywood superstar to Oscar grub by radically transforming their physical appearance, former hard-body Colin Farrell is rapidly downsizing for his upcoming part as a war photographer in Triage. And while Farrell could use some credibility in the acting department following his recent string of flops, hacking off all these pounds doesn’t look like the healthiest way to do it. But admittedly, dieting your way towards industry approval has been a Hollywood go-to trick for quite a while. We took a look back at some of his peers’ most drastic weight losses, and as scary as the morphing process made them look, each part did bolster their respective careers dramatically: More »
The Easter Bunny No Longer Prime Suspect In Minnie Driver Baby Daddy Mystery, But Who Is?
7:50AM Molly Friedman | Thus far, Riches star Minnie Driver has given the public three wildly different answers to anyone inquiring who knocked up the card-carrying member of that annoyingly massive Celebrity-Slash-Singer subset. Among the potential baby daddies she’s flung out into the media’s clutches? The Easter Bunny, musician Craig Zolezzi, and yes, God him or herself. And six months into her pregnancy, Driver has defiantly and coyly kept her lips sealed, until now. In a recent interview with the UK’s Independent, she finally released two very telling details: the guy is British, and “sort of in the same business.” Our guesses lie after the jump, but we leave it to you, loyal Defamer readers, to solve the mystery: More »
