Jennifer Lopez's Twins Ordered Never To Wear Same Outfit Twice (And Why J. Lo Shouldn't, Either)

Molly Friedman · 07/15/08 01:10PM

Jennifer Lopez, new member of that oh-so-trendy and elite twinset pregnancy club, is continuing her fashionable legacy by deciding never to dress her mini-Marc Anthonys in the same designer outfit twice. As much as this news doesn’t surprise us, considering the international (national? not so much!) superstar’s notoriously highbrow taste in ridiculously pricey bling, we’re fairly sure where J. Lo got the idea. Even though the past few years have seen post-pregnancy slim faster Lopez awarded the #1 spot on many a prominent Best Dressed List in the glossies, her pre-glamour girl days were adorned with some of the most horrific ensembles ever to break camera lenses with their floppy fedoras, belly-baring latex bikini tops and, of course, her infamous frontless, transparent green monster worn at the 2000 Grammys. The top five outfits we’re grateful Lopez never dared wear twice, after the jump:

From 'Making The Band' To 'Making The Bed'

Molly Friedman · 06/02/08 07:20PM

What would happen if Hollywood’s most boy-crazy, sex-obsessed serial dater hooked up with Hollywood’s most lady-loving, satin-sheet-sex-obsessed player of all players? Well, for one thing we’d write about it. For another thing, the couple in question would most likely spend a sample evening locked in a private New York bar’s room, lorded over by a bodyguard just because they were so frisky they needed 20 minutes to themselves...that very second. Something else they might do? At a private concert thrown by Prince at his infamous party palace, they might escape immediately after feeding each other that always seductive aphrodisiac, bread pudding, into the “labyrinthe corridors leading to [Prince’s] basement” and do, well, what these two stars in question apparently do best: the dirty. Join us after the jump to put some faces to these places:

How Diddy Spent Last Week

cityfile · 06/02/08 09:36AM

Didn't get to party with Diddy in Cannes last week? How unfortunate. You missed out on your chance to climb aboard the Maraya, the 177-foot yacht that Diddy chartered. A young, impressionable reporter for the Daily Mirror was lucky enough to land an invite, just in time to watch an assistant brush Diddy's hair:

Alec Baldwin's Family Problems Not His Fault

Who Brought the Ex-Con to the Party?

  • Naomi Campbell certainly made a splash in Cannes. After starting off her birthday taking ex-con Christophe Rocancourt—best known for pretending to be a Rockefeller heir and Oscar de la Renta’s nephew—to a movie premier, she capped off the night with a meltdown at Diddy’s yacht party and ended up leaving around 3 a.m. in a fit of rage. What was she so upset about? Who knows, this is Naomi Blackberry-in-your-face Campbell we’re taking about here. [NY Post]

The Two Faces Of John Mayer: Altar Boy Or Same Old Womanizer?

Molly Friedman · 05/20/08 12:20PM

Tabloid wars! When it comes to covering the stunt relationship between “bored” John Mayer and “clingy” Jennifer Aniston, two New York gossip columns have found themselves at odds over how well-behaved Mayer was over the weekend. The NY Post claims Mayer was dancing on tables at a local bar one night, while the NY Daily News covers his performance at a Foxwoods gig alongside Alicia Keys and Diddy the night afterwards. But one paper paints Mayer as an altar boy turning down “eager hot blonds” for the sake of monogamy, and the other makes Mayer sound like a vulgar womanizer. So which to believe?

Miley Cyrus Is The Latest Name-Changing Celebrity, But What's A Star's Name Got To Do With It?

Molly Friedman · 03/18/08 03:00PM

After hearing that Billion Dollar Girl Miley Cyrus has added yet another name to her list of identities, we had to wonder how all this name-changing business is supposed to help an already-famous star's career. Cyrus, who was given the flashy title Destiny Hope Cyrus at birth, was nicknamed Smiley Miley as a kid by her achy breaky dad Billy and, guess what, it stuck. Now, AOL is reporting that Cyrus has officially changed her name to Miley Ray Cyrus, just like dad Billy Ray. But how have the most memorable mid-career name games fared when it comes to a celebrity's career? We took a look at a few of the most famous quick switches, and discovered it takes more than a flashy press announcement (and even a flashy new symbol) to inject a falling star with newfound fame...

Molly Friedman · 03/13/08 05:44PM

Never one to miss an endorsement opportunity, Diddy has taken his partnership with Ciroc Liquor to a publicity-heightening new level. Citing not his fondness of earning Benjamins but rather his achy breaky heart as the reason behind this pragmatic endeavor, Diddy plans on launching a car service for celebrities who've had too much to drink at Opera and Les Deux and need a way home that doesn't involve cokepants or Vicodin swerves. More than anything else, we can't wait to see what the cars in question will be emblazoned with. We're envisioning that the rides will be pimped out in twead or pinstriped paint, with an oh-so-subtle 6x6 logo on the hoods stating "styled by Sean John." Which, if you think about it, would really flatter the drunken, passed out heads of Lindsay and Paris quite nicely. [Us]
