THE MARRYING KIND
It looks like the oft engaged Cameron Diaz may in fact be betrothed once again. Our favorite tall drink o' water has been co-habitating with hunky Jared Leto for quite some time. For so long we've been waiting for some public admission of love in their otherwise notoriously private relationship. They always clam up when asked about each other and whether or not they are actually boyfriend/girlfriend. Allegedly they've had a rocky road to romance because Jordan Catalano is somewhat of a freak. For example, after completing his work in Requiem for a Dream (admittedly one of the most intense and amazing movies ever) he had to do a mental de-tox at an Ashram in Portugal. Apparently, Cam was none too thrilled with J.L.'s brand of hokus pokus.
Perhaps the two have patched things up and set aside their differences regarding the whole personal guru thing. This picture snapped at last Sunday's Golden Globes may be proof of engagement, or just a really swell gift from the live-in lover.
Get the Scoop!

BOTOX BALLERINA BARBIE?
We try to keep an open mind when it comes to fashion. Sharon Stone's outfit of choice (pathetic showboating notwithstanding) elicited a nauseating sneer. Beyoncee's embroidered meringue number rated a slow, sorry headshake. But nothing, not even Bjork's much criticized swan-trocity from seasons past, could compare to LFB's ballerina getup. At first we mistook her for Stephanie Seymour who lost her way to a Victoria's Secret fashion show. But it was more than the saggy, more-bones-than-flesh-filled tutu and the newly plumped kisser. Looks like those bangs are also covering the telltale, stunned look of Botox. Poor darling is starting to look as plastic as one of those little ballerinas that used to twirl in our pink jewelry boxes. What ever happened to this Katherine Hepburn-classic beauty of yesteryear?
