Celebrity News & Gossip

Despite the presence of such manly men as Clint Eastwood, Kobe Bryant, Levi Johnston and Zach Galifianakis, those simply reading the guest list might not have realized GQ was celebrating its 2009 Men Of The Year at LA’s Chateau Marmont last night. After all, what kind of sausage party features seemingly every starlet from Amanda Seyfried to Zoe Saldana (not to mention Kim Kardashian, January Jones, Olivia Wilde, Emma Stone and Shenae Grimes)? Not that the honorees minded being outnumbered by female admirers, we’re sure. See all these famous ladies and more in the gallery below.

Katie Holmes showed no modesty at the Elle’s 16th Annual Women In Hollywood event last night, strutting across the red carpet in heels and a see-through black top. Don’t mistake this for a young mom’s wild night out, though—Katie says Suri’s the one that picked her outfit. “She gave me a big thumbs up,” Katie told Us. Aw, she must have learned that one from Dad! She’ll be grinning behind Wayfarers in no time.

Joining Holmes were actresses both established (Julianne Moore, Renee Zellweger) and aspiring (Kat Dennings, Shenae Grimes), along with a few men just happy to be in their presence. See why Alec Baldwin couldn’t stop smiling in the gallery below.

With Brittany Snow acting the winter fashion plate and attending a runway show with 90210’s Shenae Grimes, we should have guessed she was gunning for Gossip Girl. The Prom Night starlet is set to play the young Lily van der Woodsen in that long-buzzed spin-off. Snow won’t have much need for her winter wardrobe—it’s set in LA—but we’re sure producers appreciated her effort to blend.

But why would an increasing successful movie actress decide to do a TV show? Because starring roles on the CW bring a little more name recognition than straight-to-DVD indies and supporting roles in Hairspray. This role could mean infinitely more magazine covers, and there will still be plenty of time for PG-13 horror movies between seasons. Assuming there’s more than one.

XDXD. Gossip Geek.

90210 starlet Shenae Grimes was caught at the Gemini Awards up in Canada behaving like a 12 year old at a Jonas Brothers concert. Apparently photogs asked Shenae to pose with 90210’s original icon, Jason Priestley, but the little diva refused. The Shenae Grimes is too good for that old man! She was too busy acting like a Miley Cyrus-inspired douchebag on the red carpet by herself, thank you very much. [Photo: Splash News Online]

Today on the train as we perused our copy of Us Weekly, we were horrified to actually learn something from the trashy tab: the chicks on the new 90210 are skinny (pictured above left to right: Shenae Grimes, AnnaLynne McCord and Jessica Stroup). Like way skinny - flaunting the kind of bony like that makes your stomach curl and your brain wonder: how does this person survive on one grande skinny soy latte per day? The estimated stats given were as follows:

• AnnaLynne McCord: 110 lbs, 5′7″
• Shenae Grimes: 90 lbs, 5′3″
• Jessica Stroup: 105 lbs, 5′8″ (!!!)

This is not a new story, obviously; way too many women in Hollywood and beyond push the extreme skin and bones look, and just about everyone experiences the pressure to appear thin. For celebs, the emphasis seems to be on staying as skinny as possible, but, according to Entertainment Weekly, without getting “too skinny.” It’s a feat that’s virtually impossible to succeed at - does one eat three grapes for lunch as opposed to two? - and one has to wonder not just if the three actresses have dipped into the “too skinny” zone, but more importantly what - if anything - the execs on the show are doing about it. According to one source, the answer is: not much. “I know in discussions at ABC and CBS that ‘too skinny’ is no good. They talk about it as a minus point,” says an anonymous agent. “But at The CW it’s a different story. They’re trying to pull in the Gossip Girl audience and that’s the image: hyper-skinny models.”

McCord’s publicist told EW that his client chows down on “whatever she wants.” For her body’s sake, we hope that’s the case. What do you think - are the 90210 girls too skinny?
