What do you get the woman that has it all? Well if she loves Rihanna’s shoulder pads and Rihanna’s giant fur hats, why not consider Rihanna’s new leather jacket, featuring both shoulder pads and an enormous fur hood? Now she can striking and chic while keeping her ears ridiculously warm, just like the “Rude Boy” singer earlier today in London. Somebody tell Todd Palin, because every Alaskan businesswoman is going to want one of these for her birthday.

It’s okay if you don’t know who Kelly Bensimon is. In fact, you’re probably better off just admiring her from afar, where she’s still sexy, svelte and sweet on the eye. As anyone who’s suffered through the drama she throws down on The Real Housewives of New York can tell you, up close she’s as annoying as stepping in a giant puddle of slush in the middle of Times Square (yes, we did this today).
The Kellster is in Miami this weekend and crashing at the Fountainebleau Hotel, where she’s throwing a party tonight for her uh, fans? Friends? (Does she have either?) You can also catch her on the cover of this month’s Playboy magazine, or walking the beaches of Miami in this cute string bikini right now. [Photo: Splash News Online]
As we mentioned earlier, a bunch of celebs and has-beens got together last night at the USA Network’s Character Approved Awards (again, we say: WTF?). The scariest-looking of these stars was Piper Perabo, who has transformed herself into the ghost of Brittany Murphy. Surely you see it too: the tight, chemical-filled skin, the freshly pinched cheeks, the balloon lips, the glassy gaze in her out-of-it eyes. The resemblance is uncanny, and it’s a creepy tribute to the deceased star. It’s as if Piper wants to remind us that, like Brittany, her career has also died.
Warning: the photos below may make you gag or leave you with a general sense of being creeped out.

Looks like Scotty Lago isn’t the only Olympic medalist who shows poor judgment when he celebrates. The entire Canadian Women’s hockey team celebrated their gold-medal win last night by drinking some brews and smoking cigars on the ice, and the International Olympic Committee is not thrilled with their behavior.
Several team members, including underaged Marie-Philip Poulin who is 18, have come under fire for their actions (which took place in a near-empty rink, with only teammates and members of the media inside the arena). Gilbert Felli, director of the Olympic Games, said that their alcohol consumption was “not what we want to see” from athletes at the games. Does Felli know about the legendary sexual activities the Olympic Village are known for? Because that seems like something a little more scandalous than a lying on the ice with a bottle of Champagne or our favorite image of the night, player Colleen Sostorics trying to take the Zamboni out for a spin. We guess if you have to scapegoat someone’s poor behavior at the games, the old adage is true: Blame Canada! [Photos: Getty Images]
Was last night Hot Mess Night and no one told us? While the Character Approved Awards were confusing passerby in NYC, the Costume Designer’s Guild Awards was bringing the noise in Beverly Hills. Ladies like Anna Paquin, Emily Blunt, Kristen Bell and Anna Kendrick—not to mention fashion-forward fellows like Eddie Izzard and Alan Cummings—were on hand to celebrate those who keep actors looking great on screen. While you’d expect such stylists to make a big impression on the carpet, some—we’re looking at you (and quickly looking away), Mona May—might have been trying a little too hard. See who wore what in the gallery below.

Oh, John Mayer. We know you’re trying to make amends with the world now, but really, you need to be quiet for like five seconds because you’re too easy a target right now.
Last night at a show at New York’s Madison Square Garden, Mayer managed to pinch out a thank you to his fans, telling the crowd “I hate to come off like an a**hole ever, and thank you guys for believing that I am not an a**hole. Never, ever in my entire life did I ever think that it would be a good idea to be an a**hole. But you know what? There’s plenty of a**holes who think the same thing, so I have to thank you… It’s a clean me now, people, clean me.” See, what we got from that was “Clean me now, people. I hate to come off. A**hole!” Granted, we’re doing a little word scramble but if you glance at the quote reallyreallyfast, you’ll see it too.
This is a man who claims to have a decent sense of humor, how could he not realize that those of us with juvenile minds would get a decent chuckle out of that? [Photo: Getty Images]
Clive Owen‘s film career has been something of a flop commercially (our last post about him asked if Duplicity would end his losing streak and…uh, it didn’t), but that doesn’t keep the Children Of Men actor from being one rugged Romeo. Seeing the studly Dudley saunter through the Giorgio Armani party at Milan’s Fashion Week yesterday got us all excited for next year’s promised The Inside Man 2, which may finally bring Owen the blockbuster he deserves (hopefully they won’t make him hide behind a mask this time).

Hey, it’s not illegal to sing about it, right? Bret Michaels somehow got Miley Cyrus to join him on his new single, “Nothing To Lose,” despite steamy lyrics that don’t really scream for the assistance of a 17-year-old (at least not in public). While Bret handles the opening verse—something about a woman’s pain—Cyrus joins in on the questionable chorus: “Won’t you fall down on me/ so close I can feel you breathe/ Tonight in the darkness/ if the truth is all we can see/ If I fall for you/ would you fall for me?” Depends what state we’re in, Miley!
If that wasn’t skeevy enough for you, the second verse has them admitting “Yeah, we both know better than this/ but we still can’t resist / slowly get undressed/ yeah, she does/ when she falls down on me…” To be fair, Miley sings along with that final “she,” suggesting she may merely be a loudly mixed third party rather than a participatant in Bret’s romantic fantasy. “Bret and I had a great time in the studio together just hanging out and making music,” Miley said on her website after recording the track late last year. “He’s is so passionate about music and it shows. I think it is such a rad collaboration because it shows that two artists that seem so different on the outside can come together and organically create something that we are both proud of.” He certainly takes her seriously as an adult, it seems.
Check out the track after the jump.
After all the back and forth, RadarOnline is officially reporting that Simon Cowell and girlfriend Mezghan Hussainy are actually, truly, 100% engaged. Hussainy reportedly confirmed the engagement herself to the site. The pair have dated for under a year, but Simon’s rep, Max Clifford said “He’s probably the happiest I have ever known him in the nine years I’ve been working with him.”
Ryan Seacrest even joked with Simon about engagement rumors in the papers on American Idol the other night, but a real confirmation has eluded us until now. Maybe Simon is just ready to take the plunge for the sake of his family tree, he recently copped to wanting kids, saying “I think I need to have little Simons around.” Let’s hope his “little Simons” can take criticism well, Daddy doesn’t like a cryer.

What. The. F-Word. USA (yes, the TV network) hosted something called the Character Approved Awards last night in NYC, which honors innovative players who are “shaping our culture.” Oddly enough, a strange mix of A Listers (Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gabby Sidibe) and F-Listers (Tiffani Thiessen, Piper Perabo, Tinsley Mortimer, Constantine Maroulis and his butt-shaped chin) showed up to toast them, and everyone – regardless of their star power – looked like sh*t.
Let’s start with Piper Perabo’s bizarre, neck-contorting pose and swollen lips, which resulted in a horrific, unintentional Brittany Murphy impression (RIP). Then there’s Gabby Sidibe’s outfit, which would be appropriate for a gal shopping with her friends at the mall, but for an Oscar nominee?! She should be milking her buzz for what it’s worth, and what it’s worth is thousands of dollars of free designer clothes. And then there’s Maggie. Poor, frizzy-haired, ugly hipster dress-wearin’ Maggie. We’re taking back her Queen of Alt Fashion crown and selling it to our favorite vintage store here in Brooklyn. She does not deserve the honor anymore, what with this disastrous look.
Some of the other D-Listers lurking around looked fine, but what right do they have to even walk the red carpet anymore? No offense, Tiffani (AMBER) Thiessen, but you went out of style the second you ditched Zack Morris for your boss at The Max. Time to head back into obscurity where you belong. [Photo: GettyImages]
