The warm weather is approaching and soon summer will be here. It seems that with summer comes bright colors. Celebrities have been seen wearing some brightly colored frocks lately, and not only clothes but accessories, like handbags and shoes.

Celebrities are welcoming the summer with quite a loud fashion trend. It appears that the days of neon and bright colors are back. But, don’t start whipping out your 80’s neon clothing just yet. These bright colors are being worn in updated and modern ways that look nothing like the neon days of the 80’s. Singer Ashanti even told OK Magazine, that she rearranges her closet when spring and summer rolls around. She told the magazine that “I love all of this season’s bright colors.”

A lot of celebrities have been rocking this trend with the bright shoes. Fergie was seen wearing bright orange shoes with her white dress on the red carpet. The shoes definitely gave her outfit the pop of color it needed to add interest. Other celebrities that have been sporting the bright shoes are Nicky Hilton, Mariah Carey, and Eva Longoria Parker. If you want to keep your bright colors simple this season, then you may want to stick with bright shoes to add the pop of color. Try these neon pink shoes by Juicy Couture .

Other celebrities are going full force on the bright color fashion trend and are sporting clothing that definitely stands out. Kate Moss paired a bright pink long tunic with her black leggings. While Gossip Girl’s Taylor Momsen went the opposite route and paired a bright pink mini-skirt with a black top and leather jacket. Other celebrities that are standing out in their bright clothing are Paris Hilton, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Jessica Alba, Blake Lively, Fergie, Demi Moore, and Vanessa Hudgens.

If you don’t want to draw that much attention to yourself but you want to stay in fashion, then try adding bright colored accessories to your outfit. As mentioned before, shoes can help liven up an otherwise boring outfit, but you can also wear jewelry with bright colors or carry a handbag that is brightly colored. The possibilities are endless with this fashion trend.

It appears that celebrities are still keeping the skinny jeans around. This is no passing fashion trend. Stars are still rocking out in their skinny jeans. I guess when you are a size 0, you can keep this fashion trend going and not worry about how you look. The newest trend with the skinny jeans are gray colored skinny jeans. So many celebrities have been now spotted wearing gray skinny jeans, usually with a white top. Jessica Alba was just photographed the other day in her gray skinny jeans paired with a white tee and yellow flats. The other color for skinny jeans that looks to be in fashion with celebrities is white. Now, white skinny jeans may be one of the hardest looks to pull off, but celebrities seem to be doing it just fine. The key is to find balance on the top. Get a pair of white skinny jeans, like these from Just Cavalli and pair them with a blousy top. Don’t go with the tight top if you are going with the tight jeans. Instead, think about a flowy top paired with high heels. This is an easier look to pull of for the average girl.

Another trend in the jean department are the ripped and shredded jeans. Yes, these are back in style, especially with casually dressed celebrities. Katie Holmes, Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie, Megan Fox, and Lindsay Lohan have all been spotted wearing ripped and shredded jeans within the past couple of weeks. Now, these ripped jeans can also be skinny jeans. They can be boot cut jeans or even flare legged jeans. The key to this fashion trend is basically that they look, ripped, worn, or shredded on the legs. And yes, if you have looked online for jeans or at any store, they make them this way and you don’t have to do it yourself. This is definitely a casual look and is not made for going nicer places such as on dates or nights out on the town. Leave this look for casual shopping trips and runs to Starbucks.

Animal prints are definitely in fashion with celebrities. Everything from animal print accessories, like totes and scarves, to full animal print dresses. Celebrities are going wild over these animal prints. Kate Bosworth was seen wearing an animal print t-shirt as she headed to the airport, while Nicole Richie sported an animal print scarf to a red carpet event. Lily Allen took the animal print to the extreme and wore a leopard print winter coat to add some drama to her outfit. Full-on animal print dresses have been seen all over the red carpet also. America Ferrera wore a black and white tiger print dress to an event, while Maggie Gyllenhaal wore an animal print dress to the Golden Globes. This is one easy fashion trend for everyone to follow. If you are unsure about the trend, which is actually a classic fashion trend, think like Jessica Alba and start out with a snakeskin tote. Or you can go even simpler and add a touch of animal print to your outfit with an animal print belt from Dolce and Gabbana .

It appears that the 80’s are back. More and more celebrities are bringing back the 80’s fashion looks in a slightly more modern way. Hayden Panettiere rocked the 80’s look in her gold metallic mini-dress that she wore on the red carpet. While Jessica Biel rocked a full black taffeta dress that almost looked like it could have been wore to a prom in the 80’s. Other celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, Kate Bosworth, Rihanna, Blake Lively, Kate Moss and Lily Allen are also bringing out the 80’s fashion garb. When trying to follow this celebrity fashion trend, you have to be careful not to look like you actually belong in the 80’s. Think updated 80’s fashion such as sleek dresses with polka dots and fitted leather jackets. Leave the parachute pants and shoulder pads at home. You want to look in fashion and not like a total blast from the past.

Everyone knows that having a baby in Hollywood means big bucks for the parents. Stars like Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Jamie Lynn Spears and Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes have all made million dollar deals with magazines for exclusive rights to the first baby pics. But one Hollywood couple that won’t be selling their baby pics is Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. They recently turned down a million dollar offer for the first pics of their baby girl, Sunday Rose. The couple says that they haven’t decided whether to release a photo of Sunday yet or not, but when they do it will be for free and not for profit.

Of course, the bidding war for the first baby pics of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline is just warming up now that the Jolie-Pitt twins are here. It’s down to OK! and People Magazine and it seems that neither publication wants to back down. Now whoever wins the bidding war is not only guaranteed a hot-selling cover, but is also entitled to major bragging rights. Rumor is that bidding has reached $15 million dollars and is still going up.

Adding fuel to Jennifer Lopez’s rep as a diva is the latest rumor that she only dresses her twins in designer outfits once before tossing the clothes aside. Now, baby designer duds may be small, but they don’t come cheap. And why would a baby not want to be seen in the same onesie twice, know what I mean?

And guess who has an open relationship in Hollywood? Well, I’m sure there are plenty of Hollywood couples with open relationships, but I’m referring to power couple, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith. According to Will Smith the secret to their happy marriage is complete honesty… about who they want to sleep with. Yes, it seems that both Will and Jada believe that it is completely natural to be attracted to other people and to act on those desires, so as long as they’re both honest about it, they don’t see anything wrong with it. Although rumors of Will and Jada living a swinger lifestyle have come up before, this is the first time that either of them has addressed the rumors head-on.

Did Katherine Heigl stick a nail in her own coffin when she withdrew her name from this year’s Emmy nominations? There are reports that the writers of Grey’s Anatomy have written Katherine’s character, Izzie, a doozy of a storyline for the upcoming season and may even write her character off completely. Fans of Grey’s Anatomy will be shocked to hear that Izzie will suffer from a potentially fatal brain tumor. Ouch!

The good thing is that Izzie’s brain tumor will cause her to have visions of her dead fiance, Denny Duquette. This, of course, is great news for the actor who plays Denny, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, seeing as how he recently split up from his girlfriend, Mary Louise Parker. Can’t wait!

And one Hollywood actor who doesn’t seem to have any trouble moving on with his life even though he’s just split from his longtime girlfriend Drew Barrymore, is Justin Long. Justin was seen out on the town with Kirsten Dunst recently and it looked like the two of them were awfully chummy. Kirsten was seen cuddling up to Justin, holding hands and even stealing a few kisses. Wonder what Drew thinks about this?

Recent photos of Sarah Jessica Parker’s show the Sex and the City star sans her trademark mole. Is it a really good cover-up job or did she really have her mole removed? Sarah Jessica Parker isn’t saying anything about it yet, but she sure has tongues wagging in the gossip circles.

You can catch the latest celebrity baby photos on the cover of OK! Magazine. Jessica Alba reportedly sold the exclusive rights to Honor Marie’s first baby pics to the mag for a cool $1.5 million. Now granted, Honor isn’t exactly a Jolie-Pitt baby, but I have to say that she is awfully cute, even if she does seem to take after her daddy, Cash Warren, in the looks department. Jessica also reveals in the exclusive cover story that she opted for a silent birth, which means there was none of the usual screaming and cursing that can accompany child birth. And to think that Jessica isn’t even a Scientologist!

Shotgun weddings are nothing new in Hollywood – just look at Jessica Alba and Ashlee Simpson. But is there another Hollywood couple that’s getting ready to make the rapid plunge into marriage and parenthood? The Sun is reporting that Justin Timberlake is getting ready to pop the question to Jessica Biel very soon. Apparently, Justin is at the age where guys start thinking about marriage and family and he has even been looking at islands where the couple could tie the knot away from paparazzi-infested LA. Of course, we could all be jumping the gun here since Jessica Biel hasn’t even been spotted with an engagement ring yet.

Someone who isn’t heading down the aisle anytime soon is one of Hollywood’s famous perpetual bachelors, George Clooney. He recently broke off the year-long relationship with former Vegas cocktail waitress, Sarah Larson. In Touch claims that Sarah has moved out of George Clooney’s home due to the fact that, well, that George dumped her. Apparently George wasn’t too keen on the idea of being tied down to just one woman for the rest of his life. Well, that and the fact that the he had zilch in common with the twenty-eight year old. Go figure.

Anybody remember little Ruthie Camden from the squeaky clean family TV show, 7th Heaven? Well, it looks like little Ruthie isn’t quite as squeaky clean anymore. Photos of the now 19-year old, Mackenzie Rosman, who played Ruthie Camden on 7th Heaven, kissing another girl recently surfaced and are causing quite a buzz online. There are also other photos of Mackenzie posing in her bra and underwear, much like the photos of Miley Cyrus that made headlines earlier this year.

Jessica Simpson is no stranger to cheating rumors. She reportedly cheated on then-husband, Nick Lachey, with Maroon 5 frontman, Adam Levine before the couple called it quits. Well, there are now reports that she may have cheated on Tony Romo with Cameron Diaz‘s ex, Jared Leto. Now if it’s true, I’m not sure you can really call it cheating since Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson are constantly on-again/off-again. Poor Jessica probably just got confused and didn’t realize that she and her football boyfriend were on-again. Oops. Jared Leto of course denies that the there is any validity to the rumors.

Despite the cheating rumors, Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo are back on again. But this time Tony has laid down the law and told Jessica that if her overbearing father doesn’t stay out of their relationship, he’s walking. Well, if that’s the case then Jessica and Tony probably won’t even make it past summer.

And American Idol winner, David Cook, recently took time from his busy schedule to pay a visit to his former American Idol buddy, Luke Menard. Luke was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and is currently undergoing treatment. David Cook and Aussie, Michael Johns, along with Jason Yeager dropped in on Luke and his wife to chat and offer him support during this difficult time. David Cook’s older brother, Adam, has also been in the spotlight due to his battle with brain cancer, so it was only fitting that David Cook would think of his friend despite his newfound
fame.

David Cook was crowned this years American Idol last night at a celeb-filled American Idol finale. The AI producers managed to drag out some real golden oldies for last night’s show – including Donna Summers, George Michael and ZZ Top. But thankfully the Jonas Brothers were also on hand and managed to balance out the age thing out a little bit.

In a sad bit of news, some unfortunate information surfaced this week about a former American Idol contestant. Apparently Luke Menard was diagnosed with inoperable cancer.

And it looks like there’s trouble in paradise for BFF’s Danny Noriega and Ramiele Malubay. You might remember how Ramiele cried when Danny Noriega was voted off. There was talk of how the two planned to move to LA and be roommates, but looks like that plan is off. And to make matters worse, Danny had to beg his way into the American Idol finale. When he initially tried to get tickets he was told that the show was full. Poor Danny.

Guess who’s going vegan for three weeks? Oprah Winfrey! She’s made a pledge to go on an all-vegan diet for the next three weeks, so her personal chef is having to work overtime trying to come up with edible vegan dishes that the Queen of Talk will actually eat. So far, so good, but you know as well I do that as soon as the 21 days are up Oprah will be gobbling up a big, fat, juicy hamburger.

Jessica Alba pulled a Mariah Carey this past Monday and secretly married her long-time boyfriend, Cash Warren. In fact, Jessica Alba’s wedding was so hush-hush that even her own brother didn’t know about it. He only heard about it when he was contacted by the press for a statement regarding the quickie nuptials.

And speaking of celebrities imitating other celebrities – did Cameron Diaz pull a Britney Spears? I realize that pulling a Britney Spears could refer to any number of bad behaviors, but I’m talking about the shaving your head on a whim incident. Cameron was recently caught completely bald by paparazzi. Not to worry though, it turns out that she was actually just wearing a cap while filming a scene for her new movie, My Sister’s Keeper, in which she plays the mother of two daughters, one of which is suffering from leukemia.

Guess which Hollywood celeb has baby fever? Paris Hilton. Now we’ve all heard the rumors of how Paris Hilton wants to have a baby before, but it looks like this time she’s really serious. She’s been dating her current boyfriend, Benji Madden for a little over 2 months, but already she is talking about marriage and babies. In fact, she even went as far as to say that she wants a baby within the next 12 months. It looks likes Tinkerbell’s reign as Paris’ baby is about to come to an end.

And could it be that Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder are Hollywood’s next power couple? Star Magazine recently reported that the two have gotten extremely close while filming their new movie together. Is there really romance in their air for Keanu and Winona or is it just a publicity stunt to boost both of their profiles?

celebrity gossip

Well, it’s been less than a week since the latest Miley Cyrus racy photo scandal broke. Her “artistic” partially nude photos didn’t go over too well with parents of tweens and the backlash may be starting already. There are reports that ratings for last Sunday’s new episode of *Disney Channel’*s original series “Hannah Montana“ were down more than 30 percent from the last premiere. So is the dip in ratings due to the writers’ strike or is it just because parents are not permitting their tweens to watch “Hannah Montana” anymore? I mean, it’s not like we’re talking about “Desperate Housewives” here – “Hannah Montana” is as wholesome as TV gets these days.

Oh well, if Miley Cyrus moves away from Disney we can still count on the *Jonas Brother*s to provide some wholesome entertainment. That is until one of the JoBros gets caught up in their own naked photo scandal or worse. Oops, did I say that out loud?<p>Jonas Brothers fans will love this next piece of gossip – it looks like the Jonas Brothers have signed a deal to star in their very own Jonas Brothers 3-D movie due to be released next year! Hey, if the Miley Cyrus/“Hannah Montana” 3-D movie raked in that much cash surely the Jonas Brothers can top it. Perez Hilton is already planning his outfit for the Jonas Brothers 3-D movie premiere.

Mother’s Day is right around the corner and thankfully there is plenty of hot Hollywood mom gossip to go around. Britney Spears surprised everyone by actually showing up to her court date on time. This coming after a slew of missed court dates and finally having her visitation rights taken away completely. Could Britney really be getting her act together? Looks that way – the court has added more visitation rights for Britney Spears including overnight stays with her sons. Way to go Brit!

Angelina Jolie‘s pregnancy is old news, but there are now more reports popping up that she and Brad Pitt may really be expecting twins! The reports differ – some claim that she is having a boy and a girl while the latest report from Star magazine says it’s two girls. Either way, I’m sure the Jolie-Pitt clan is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the latest member (or members) of their family.

And here’s a real shocker – Lindsey Lohan‘s mom, Dina Lohan, was honored with a Mother of the Year award! OK, not really. It was more like “Long Island Top Mom,” but the fact that Dina Lohan would receive any kind of award for mothering is beyond me. It makes me wonder who Dina was up against for the award. Amy Fisher’s mom, maybe?

Not only that, but TMZ claims that Dina Lohan actually skipped out on a family counseling session to accept her award. Now there’s a woman who has her priorities in order.

And finally, Jessica Alba did a very sweet thing for other mothers to be this past week. The very pregnant Jessica Alba visited with students at a Los Angeles high school for pregnant teen mothers. Not only did she take the time to talk to the girls and visit each classroom, but she came bearing baby gifts for all 200 girls! How cool is that?
