“I don’t brush my teeth. I just use Listerine—and sometimes I’ll use my sweater.” Jessica Simpson on her TMI dental hygiene habits.

We all know Lady Gaga’s outfits are daring, but life-threatening? That was a flight crew’s fear when they realized Gaga’s ensemble of black and yellow duct tape was causing her legs to swell. They persuaded her to change, and she touched down safely. While we can’t imagine Lady G strutting down the airplane aisle in sweatpants anytime soon, we hope she’ll leave the duct tape on her no-fly list in future.

Yes, the sorbet shade reminds us of Pepto Bismol and the sheer bodice is overly complicated, but the fact remains that: 1. Kristen Stewart is wearing pastel and 2. She’s smiling! Seeing K-Stew so out of character on the red carpet premiere of her new movie The Runaways makes me wonder: Is our favorite sulky starlet turning sunny?

Red carpet gaffes, public breakups, failed film releases . . . The climb to celebrity is nothing if not torturous. Which may be why Jessica Biel has been favoring a different kind of climb recently. She just scaled Mount Kilimanjaro, and is contemplating Everest next. Good luck, Jess, but remember: in Hollywood and on the mountaintop, the higher the climb, the farther the fall . . .

Spotted: Kim Kardashian proving that she’s more than just a pretty face at her bebe runway show during NY Fashion Week. Unlike most reality stars-turned-designers (I’m looking at you, Whitney Port), Kimmy K actually seems to know a thing or two about the garment biz.

Check the Kardashian designs in the vid below, then tell me, do you think Kim’s foray is tres chic—or a fashion flop?

Glowing skin, killer curves . . . And a disco-ball dress? As always, America Ferrera’s features are flawless, but on the red carpet at the premiere of Our Family Wedding she was almost upstaged by her glittery gown.  What do you think—America the Beautiful, or Ugly Betty?

Tarot cards, 8-balls, tea leaves…all valuable methods of career-planning if you’re Heidi Montag, who’s decided to let a Hollywood psychic call the shots in her life from now on. So what will this mean for her “career”? Given that Spencer Pratt has been managing her, I predict that things can only go up from here. But hey, I’m no psychic.

Even celebs have to rely on the kindness of strangers. Renee Zellweger was so grateful when she spotted a random passerby adding extra coins in her about-to-expire parking meter that she slipped into a Starbucks and splurged on a $100 gift card for the stranger. Way to pay it foam-ward, Renee!

“I got beaten up by a lot of people when I was younger. I was a bit of an idiot, but I always thought the assaults were unprovoked. It was after I first started acting and I liked to behave like an actor, or how I thought an actor was supposed to be, and that apparently provoked a lot of people into hitting me.” Robert Pattinson, on the perils of his profession.

Most tweens can’t stand to be around their mothers, but Lourdes is going to be spending a lot of time with mom Madonna in future: the two are launching a line for juniors at Macy’s together. No design details have been released, but here’s hoping it doesn’t involve cone bras, tutus, or leather catsuits.
