  • McConaughey’s Everywhere … and With His Shirt On

    Malibu’s resident surfer dude, Matthew McConaughey, did the unthinkable this weekend: He actually wore a shirt at the beach. Cause for the shocking cover-up? The MaliBLUE Art & Music Festival, where the often bare-chested star served as guest emcee in support of Mishka, the first artist signed to his company, j.k. livin. McConaughey got his…

  • Some Weekend: Cher, Faye, Halle … and Selleck’s ‘stache

    Reese Witherpoon, Jake Gyllenhaal and the Hoff sweated it out in the desert this weekend for the Coachella Music Festival, while things heated up in L.A., too.

    At the premiere episode party for “Parks and Recreation” on Thursday night, Amy Poehler blew out the candles on a cake with the rest of the cast, including Rashida Jones, Chris Pratt, Nick Offerman, Aziz Ansari and Aubrey Plaza.

    Paul Rudd risked overexposure this week by appearing at two movie premieres in one week. But with two markedly different films, he did not wear out his welcome in Hollywood just yet.

  • Goin’ Fast and Furious With Gaga

    No pants? No problem for Lady Gaga, who writhed and rocked her way around L.A. in little more than a pair of high-waisted briefs. On Wednesday night, she brought her Madonna-like antics to Apple Lounge, where she performed hits “Poker Face” and “Just Dance” for Star magazine’s Hot Young Hollywood issue. A mere day before…

    Before snagging the top weekend box-office honors, the “Watchmen” cast, including Billy Crudup, Malin Ackerman, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan descended upon the Mann’s Chinese Theatre for the film’s premiere last Monday, while the age-defying Kirk Douglas showed some super-heroic spirit all his own on Friday when he debuted his one-man show, “Before I Forget,” at…

  • Boogeying Down With Jonases and “Rent” Boys

    How did Tinseltown recover from Oscar week festivities? More revelry of course. "Slumdog Millionaire"’s Anil Kapoor networked with Salma Hayek at a book party for her hairstylist, Robert Vetica, at Beso in Hollywood on February 26.  Who knows what the two discussed so intensely, but would an "Ugly Betty" guest spot be out of the…
