Singer Shakira was on hand for the 2009 American Music Awards (of course) and she looked great in every outfit she put on (duh). She sounded good, too. I guess you could say the book read as good as the cover looked, or something like that. Shakira did not receive an AMA, but she would of had there been a category for hotness! I like Shakira and I like her music, so how does she feel about people that download her music illegally?

“I like what’s going on because I feel closer to the fans and the people who appreciate the music… It’s the democratization of music in a way. And music is a gift. That’s what it should be, a gift.”

Kristen Bell attended the 2009 American Music Awards over the weekend and the actress looked really good. Oh yes, I think this white dress did Kristen justice! But this is nothing new for Kristen, we’ve kind of come to expect it from her. So, what does celebrity Kristen Bell do for herself when she’s not working?

“I stay home. I don’t get a ton of time at home. I’m always traveling. I’m such a homebody at heart. I like staying in my pajamas all day. I love cooking. Cooking is very meditative for me and I also find that I feel very empowered when I’m domesticated. I feel very empowered when I’m doing my own laundry and I’m cooking for my household and I’m cleaning and I’m taking care of everything and I’m gardening. That really calms me down and it makes me feel worthy. I enjoy that kind of stuff. I hike with my dogs or walk to a restaurant. They’re things that may seem lame but I really enjoy.”

Rihanna dropped her latest album, “Rated R”, yesterday and here are some of the album photos. As expected, Rihanna uses every bit of her sexuality in and on this album, which is appropriately titled. And this is new, she even received her first parental advisory warning. Now, this is what I’m talking about! I may have to pick this one up because I do like the single “Russian Roulette”, which was written by both Ne-Yo and Rihanna. A few more fun facts about Rihanna:

• If Rihanna didn’t have a music career, she would like to go into psychology.
• Rihanna is very picky when it comes to food. She won’t eat Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, or Indian food. She also hates vegetables.
• Rihanna is the official sponsor for the Barbados Tourism Agency.
• Rihanna’s nickname is RiRi.

Singer Katy Perry has been of fire over the past year and today she once again looks RED HOT! These photos come from the launch event for the Samsung Behold II. I don’t know if having Katy Perry at a launch party helps or hinders. Yes, people do know her, but she hot and that’s pretty distracting. You want people to be checking out your product and all eyes are on Katy. I guess if it was my launch I’d want her there. Katy is a looker for real, but here’s what Katy said when asked why someone should check out her music:

“That’s a hard question. Nobody likes to brag. If you’re forcing me, though, I think people should check out my music it’s fun and funny, and I actually sing them live. I think that my music makes pop-music cool again.”

Kim Kardashian looked conservative but nice at the 2009 GQ Men of the Year awards recently. And I for one am surprised. I really can’t believe she showed up for a GQ event looking like this, especially since she is such a party girl! Once again, this look is not bad, but GQ is known for some of the hottest celebrity photoshoots going, so I expected Kim to show a bit more or at least go with something way more sexy. I don’t know what Kim’s deal was, but I do know that she was well of her “A” game. I guess you just never know what to expect., so what did Kim say was the biggest misconception about her and her party crew?

“That we’re all trust-fund kids and we have it so easy. If anything, I find it the complete opposite. I know people think we drive around in these nice cars and we do whatever we want and our parents will pay our credit cards, but that’s not the case. Sure, my parents were generous; I got a nice car at 16, but at 18 I was cut off. I’ve worked really hard. I opened the store myself. Even Paris and Nicole—they’re completely independent, too.”

Model Bar Refaeli continues to amaze me photoshoot after photoshoot and these tasteful lingerie photos are simply amazing! In fact, I’m going to call these picture perfect! But for real: When it comes to natural beauty Bar Refaeli is simply flawless. It would take a real dick to dump this girl—and I think we all know which male celebrity I’m talking about here. These sexy ad photos are for the Passionata Lingerie collection for the Spring and Summer of 2010. So guys/girls, if you see something in these pics that gets your motor going, bring one of these home and surprise that special someone. Sorry guys, I wish it could be Bar Refaeli, too!  

So Bar, is being a model really that hard?

“In all honesty… very! It involves a lot of traveling, so I am basically on planes half of the time, and when I am on the ground I am so jet lagged that it is hard to keep up. Being away from my family and friends is also very difficult for me because I am very close to them, but the other side of the coin is very positive. I get to travel, see the world, meet people and be independent. I feel blessed.”

Actress Oliva Wilde attended Us Weekly’s Hot Hollywood event in LA recently, and rightfully so! Olivia has been featured on this site relentlessy because she’s both talented and beautiful. And wow, just check out Olivia in this amazing white dress and black heels! Very nice. Olivia knew that she was Hollywood bound while very young. In fact, she has been quoted saying that she wanted to become an actress since the age of two! So what happened that made such an impact on her at such a young age?

“Actually, before I made the decision to become an actor, I was totally committed to becoming a rapper, as well as Michael Jackson’s lead backup dancer. But instead of taking the rap world by storm as a beat-boxing six-year-old with some fresh dance moves and a wardrobe full of pink spandex unitards, I set my sights on Hollywood and started taking my training very seriously.

It was while watching a live taping of Saturday Night Live in New York when I was 10 that I knew, without a doubt, that acting was the career for me. Incidentally, Janet Jackson was the musical guest, and at the after-party I was introduced to her backup dancers, one of whom was soon to become the phenomenon known as J.Lo. That was also the night I lost a brownie-eating contest with the late, great Chris Farley — quite the life-changing evening.”

Oprah Winfrey is a cultural phenomenon in many ways, but not to everyone. Although she’s mostly appealed to middle-aged women, she’s also had her share of controversy. But who hasn’t?  Today Oprah will announce that she is ending her television show 2011 after 25 years since its first national broadcast. Talk about a surprise!

Toronto Sun: “Winfrey, who from a seat on the couch of her set in Chicago’s West Loop neighbourhood became a billionaire and one of the most powerful women in entertainment, plans to announce the final date for her show during a live broadcast on Friday, said Harpo Productions Inc. A Harpo spokeswoman declined to comment Thursday when asked if Oprah’s decision to end the show meant she planned to retire, or would move her broadcasting efforts onto a long-rumoured Oprah network.”

Here are some candid photos of singer Katy Perry as she looks sporty walking around Los Angeles. Katy did a little shopping and grabbed a snack after getting a low intensity workout in. Hey, if Katy wants to keep that great bikini body then she has to work for it like everybody else. Katy also eats well. I think that’s evident in all of these pictures. Just look at that butt! Here is Katy Perry on her healthy diet:

“On holidays I eat whatever I feel like. But on tour the catering is a lot of grilled chicken—nothing fried. Everything is organic, and I have soy milk. No chips in sight—if they’re in front of you, you eat them. I drink a lot of water, and staying hydrated is important too. I don’t understand how some people live off of diet soda. I have a couple of friends who I have never seen with a bottle of water in their hands. I don’t know how they get recharged.”
