Kudos to all you clever subscribers who correctly guessed that the zaftig vixen pictured in last week's newsletter was the Pepto-abysmal Christina Aguilera. Congrats to our quick-fingered, first response reader who won the body slimming wrap only seconds after we sent out the newsletter!

DID YOU EVER KNOW THAT YOU'RE MY HERO?
Vaunt v. - To speak boastfully of; brag about. Usually implies extravagant self-praise but we're going to employ poetic license and use the word to speak boastfully about others. Who do we vaunt the most? Well, if you've read this newsletter even once, our Top 10 list should not come as a surprise:
SPLENDORA'S MOST VAUNTED
1. Gwyneth Paltrow -failed romances never cramp her style
2. Gwen Stefani -sequel to Madonna minus the accent plus vocal ability
3. Nicole Kidman -Moulin Rouge + divorce = magnifique
4. Cameron Diaz -the best friend we all hoped for in 8th grade
5. Queen Latifah -the real deal, fo'sheezy
6. Julianne Moore -ditto
7. Christiane Amanpour -brilliant, worldly danger chaser who has it all
8. Naomi Watts -demure to diabolical in 10 seconds flat
9. Katie Holmes -ditto
10. Britney Spears -goofy pop princess living out post-adolescence in the tabloids, what's not to love?
SPLENDORA'S MOST UNVAUNTED
1. Tara Reid -no explanation required
2. Renee Zellwegger -all squinty pout and sinew--eat something!
3. Jennifer Lopez -sick of hearing how "REAL" she is
4. Julia Roberts -ditto
5. Hilton Sisters -too damn skinny, too rich, too young
6. Brittany Murphy -ditto
7. Avril Lavigne -you are no rocker, my friend
8. Penelope Cruz -husband stealing overactor
9. Kelly Clarkson -American Idol, my ass
10. Lili Taylor (as Lisa in Six Feet Under) - get off the show already and let Brenda and Nate rekindle their passion

GUESS WHO'S IN THE DRESS REVEALED
Darling XL-Tina, We're not hatin' on you playa and we know that the few pounds you packed on makes you look like a 'normal' healthy girl (sadly we can't say the same for that dress). You are beautiful no matter what we say, words can't bring you dowwwwnnnn (but that Double-Double with cheese just might!)
Your other guesses? Beyoncee, Gwen Stefani, Donatella Versace, Portia De Rossi, Charlize Theron, Faith Hill, and overwhelmingly: Britney Spears. We had so much fun with this contest that we plan to give away a host of other fun prizes this year in a similar fashion. (meow!)

NEW YORK REPORT: SPRING LOVE CELEBRITY STYLE
Our East Coast gossip maven had some recent star sightings that were just too juicy to spare. On her way uptown from SoHo on the Subway, our paparazza spotted the very cool couple of Claire Danes and Ben Lee. Claire looked decidedly casual in her Paper Denim Cloth jeans and Yohji Yamamoto slip-on sneakers. Being the fashion darling that she is, she topped the whole outfit off with a striped Marc Jacobs boatneck sweater. Trying not to stare through her enormous Gucci sunglasses, our source said that the adorable pair cuddled, kissed, all the way from Spring Street to 77th.
Other sightings? Strolling hand in hand around the decidedly uppity Upper East Side (the corner of 79th and Madison to be precise) was none other than wild child Bijou Phillips and her rock royalty boyfriend, Sean Lennon.

Zwan at the Wiltern Theatre
Billy Corgan's (ex-Smashing Pumpkins) new band, Zwan, is playing this Saturday at the Wiltern. Their music is reminiscent of the Pumpkin's Gish-era recordings, but has twinges of power pop too. Absolutely worth checking out. The Wiltern is located at: 3790 Wilshire Blvd, 213.380.5005
