Kate Winslet Reveals Her Killer Curves
Kate Winslet Reveals Her Killer Curves
Her stunning outfit and killer curves certainly ensured she stole the spotlight from her younger co-star.
Kate Winslet walked the red carpet at the premiere of her new mini-series in New York last night in a form-fitting Stella McCartney dress with polka dot panelling.
The 35-year-old's hair was swept up in a tousled up 'do, and the only let-down was Kate's powdery complexion.
Charlie Sheen's ex Brooke Mueller leaves sober house
Charlie Sheen's ex Brooke Mueller leaves sober house
Charlie Sheen's ex-wife Brooke Mueller took some time out from her sober living facility to attend Kathy Hilton's birthday lunch today.
The 32-year-old was accompanied by her adventurous twin sons Bob and Max, two, who wore matching Burberry shorts and brown chinos.
The family are close friends of the Hiltons, with Brooke starring in a new reality show with Kathy's daughter Paris.
Paris, wearing a short blue skirt and black top, posed with Brooke outside the restaurant.
Brooke is currently undergoing voluntary treatement at a sober living facility, but is not an inpatient.
Earlier this week it was her boys' turn to celebrate as they turned two.
One person not invited, however, was their father Charlie Sheen.
After a fraught two weeks, in which police removed the twins from Sheen's home, Brooke and Sheen, 45, have now agreed a custody deal.
'For the benefit of the children, the terms of their agreement will not be disclosed. They ask the public for privacy on this matter.'
While the details of the deal are private, it is thought Mueller will have physical custody of the children, as initially agreed following her separation from Sheen last year.
As part of the new agreement both she and Sheen will undergo regular drug testing.

Shakira and Pique finally caught kissing
Until the publication of the already legendary kiss in gossip magazine "Caras," the two had not been caught doing more than holding hands.
Photographers have been chasing the couple ever since Shakira broke up with her ex-boyfriend and rumors arose she and the FC Barcelona defender were romantically involved.
Paparazzi able to deliver the first photo of the famous couple kissing had been promised a $100,000 reward.

Sacked star Charlie Sheen sues sitcom makers
Sacked star Charlie Sheen sues sitcom makers
In court papers filed on Thursday, Sheen claims producer Chuck Lorre spent years "harassing and disparaging" him.
Mr Lorre, the action alleges, "believes himself so wealthy and powerful that he can unilaterally decide to take money away from the dedicated cast and crew".
Mr Lorre's attorney called the claims "recklessly false and unwarranted".
A spokesman for Warner Bros, also cited in the papers filed at Los Angeles Superior Court, declined to comment on the action.
Prior to his sacking, Sheen had a contract with the studio that ran to the end of the 2012 TV season, earning him $2m (£1.2m) per episode.
In his 30-page submission to the court, the 45-year-old claims he was only fired after he began publicly criticising Warner Bros and Mr Lorre.
The studio, he alleges, was "quite happy to line its coffers" while he received treatment for substance abuse and only acted because of Mr Lorre's "egotistical desire to punish" him.
"Charlie Sheen is not only seeking payment of his own compensation for the series, he is also pursuing claims for the benefit of the entire cast and crew [of Two and a Half Men]," court papers also stated.
On Thursday, police searched Sheen's home for guns that might be in violation of a temporary restraining order obtained last week by his estranged wife, Brooke Mueller.
A police spokeswoman said an antique gun had been retrieved and that the actor co-operated with the search.

Charlie Sheen launches his own cookery show
Charlie Sheen launches his own cookery show
Taking his media blitz one step further, the father-of-five has hosted a spoof cookery show for the FunnyOrDie.com website.
Playing up to his new 'winning' catchphrase, the troubled actor wears a tiger-patterned chef's hat as he presents 'Charlie Sheen's Winning Recipes'.
Despite his erratic behaviour in recent weeks, the 45-year-old was praised for being 'very professional' during the filming at his Beverly Hills home.
Mike Farah, President of Production for FunnyOrDie.com, said the company had approached the actor on Sunday with ideas for a collaboration and he had been very forthcoming.
Farah told TMZ.com that Sheen was full of ideas and even suggested the tiger-patterned hat - playing up to his recent claim to drinking 'tiger blood'.
As Sheen was filming at home, a porn star was outside with a 'special delivery' from adult entertainment company Brazzers.
Actress Britney Amber turned up with a large box addressed to Sheen while wearing a T-shirt reading 'Charlie's Goddess'.
After Sheen claimed he had tiger blood running through his veins, he's also been spotted drinking a bottle of red liquid with the words 'tiger blood' written across it.
But it turns out the source of 'Sheen's power' is actually Xango mangosteen juice.
A source close to Sheen he actually refers to it as 'mango juice' privately, despite hamming it up and claiming its tiger blood for the media.
Sheen's impassioned outbursts about his strength and mental prowess have inspired the red drink, which is described on Harcos Laboratories's website as: 'Made from 100 per cent passion specifically to make your brain fire in a way that's not from this particular terrestrial realm.'
The website continues: "Tiger Blood allows you to use household items, you're welcome to take more drugs than anyone can survive.
'Be different, have a different brain, and a different heart. When you feel Tiger Blood in your veins, you'll realise dying's for fools and that can't is the cancer of happen.
'Period. The end.'
While the world is still reeling from the stream of garbled 'Sheenisms', Harcos is selling pouches of the drink for $4 each through the website.
The firm behind Sheen's on-screen shirts in the sitcom aren't so positive about the future after he complained about the 'silly shirts'.
Clothing company Da Vinci's pannelled shirts were inspired by one worn by his character Charlie Harper and endorsed by the actor.
But they're concerned about their business after he declared he was happy he didn't have to 'put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension'.
Chief designer Christopher Wicks told TMZ.com: 'Charlie's frustration is based on his current position in life, rather than the actual shirts. I wish him good health and happiness in his new found terrestrial dimension.'
He only joined Twitter last week and has so far accrued 2.45million followers and is hoping to employ someone to spread his own brand of 'winning'.
Yesterday, Sheen appeared on a California radio station while running on a treadmill from his LA home.
The actor talked about his possible replacements to play his Two And A Half Men character Charlie Harper - and wished them good luck.
He also offered a 'half apology' to his former co-star Jon Cryer for calling him a 'turncoat and a troll' but later told the hosts of K-EARTH 101 that Cryer was awful at fluffing his lines.
During his breathless interview, Sheen also challenged Celebrity Rehab's Dr. Drew Pinsky to a boxing match.
Speaking about the experts who have branded him unstable, he said: 'I have to scoff at their silliness ... they never met the man.'
Sheen said he had been talking to Rob Lowe, who has been touted as his possible replacement.
'He's a buddy of mine, he's a beautiful man, he's a brilliant actor and I hope he does it and kicks its a** - because I still get paid.'
But asked if he had any advice for his possible replacement he joked: 'I recommend making it their own. Don't look at the 177 brilliant episodes I did, ignore the 400 re-runs every week that you can't avoid, cancel your Sheen ap.'
Asked about his former co-star Cryer, who he hit out at yesterday, Charlie said: 'I will apologise to Jon right now. I was kind of in a mood and I threw it out there to someone.'
When one of the presenters Lisa Stanley asked him he was formally apologising to Cryer, he back tracked, saying: 'A little bit, it's a half apology, it's an apol.'
He said that he was upset because Cryer hadn't been in touch following his sacking to say he 'had his back' which promoted him to make the comments to a U.S. celebrity website.
Later, when asked by host Gary Bryan about a reel of footage which Warner Bros. is said to have put together showing Sheen in a bad light, the actor appeared shocked at first.
The host explained that the reel supposedly showed Sheen forgetting his lines and being unable to perform his duties which Warner Bros. could use to justify sacking Sheen if the matter is the subject of a civil lawsuit.
But Sheen put on a strong front, blasting: ' I say poppycock. Is that the best they've got. Wow. Burial, losing, sizzle, bye.'
He claimed that Cryer was the one who always fluffed his lines: 'Jon's the bubble popper, but it's OK because it makes it fun for the [studio] audience.'
Sheen rounded off by saying that his TV days are 'probably behind' him, but said he was looking forward to going and making some movies.

Inside Mariah Carey's lavish baby shower
Inside Mariah Carey's lavish baby shower
The 41-year-old star, who is currently expecting twins with Nick Cannon, 31, has released photographs from the celebration, which was held at the Montage Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunday.
The singer, who wore a Roberto Cavalli dress for the occasion, is seen taking pride of place in a plush chair while her doting husband caresses her growing baby bump.
The venue was decked out in blue and pink balloons - she is set to give birth to a boy and a girl - and no expense was spared in food and decoration.
Guests, included American Idol judge Randy Jackson and CNN's Piers Morgan, were treated to gourmet pizzas, appetizers and banana, chocolate and red velvet cupcakes.
Napkins, servers' aprons and other items were emblazoned with the couples' names and pictures of baby carriages.
'There was a lot of love in the room, and to top it off, fans from more than 50 countries sent well-wishes in a book they made for our twins titled Always Be My Babies.
'It was a night I will never forget.'
Cannon is said to have also enjoyed the shower, with a close friend of the couple, describing him as 'very loving'.
'Seeing them together as a couple they’re very loving with each other and you can just feel the excitement between them over the babies,' Stefano Zagni told Radar online.
'During the baby shower Nick was running around with his camera taking lots of pictures but every two or three minutes he would go over to check on Mariah and see if she was okay.
'He dotes on her. They completely adore each other and are so much in love.
'I just think they’re going to be the perfect family. I really do. I think they’re going to make great parents. They’re going to be very loving and hands-on.'
Mariah is expected to give birth in at the end of April.

He's Charlie Sheen, and You are Not
He's Charlie Sheen, and You are Not
Most of us want to think of celebrities as ordinary folks who, by dint of talent, hard work and a bit of luck, ascended to the heights. We want to think of them that way, one suspects, because it binds them more closely to us and because it allows us to indulge the fantasy that it could be us up there on the screen.
Unlike Europeans, Americans have never much tolerated Sarah Bernhardts, the sort of grands artistes who exist in a different and higher realm from the hoi polloi. We take our democracy seriously, right into entertainment. We like a star who is modest, self-effacing, self-deprecating — in effect, one of us. That's why the fan magazines in the 1930s and 1940s featured Clark Gable and Carol Lombard lolling in their backyard just like any old married couple, or Joan Crawford tending to her brood just like any old mother.
This was the basic contract: Entertain us, and we'll grant you fame, riches and adoration — so long as you remain one of us. Violate that contract at the peril of your career. Abide by it, like, say, Tom Hanks, and you will be rewarded with longevity. All we ask is that you be, or at least appear to be, normal.
Bruce Willis once described the basic trajectory of celebrity in America as having four stages: You arrive, you peak, you bomb and you come back. Whether he realized it or not, Willis was also describing the phases that anthropologist Joseph Campbell had discerned for the hero across cultures — save for one thing. Heroes don't bomb. That is a distinctly American interpolation, one designed to ensure that our demigods never confuse themselves with gods. As our stars rose into the heavens, we reserved the right to humble them, to bring them back to Earth. Think of Eddie Murphy or John Travolta or Tom Cruise, all of whom seemed to get too big for their britches and were brought down a peg for it.
So Charlie Sheen's verboten media blitz flaunting a lifestyle that is decidedly not shared by the vast majority of his fans (how many of us have two live-in porn star "goddesses" or can profess to have consumed an amount of cocaine that would have killed a mortal?) explicitly violates the contract, which seems to have been Sheen's point.
He says he isn't off the rails like Mel Gibson or Lindsay Lohan. He insists he is the engineer. He is doing exactly what he wants to do, what his riches and fame allow and entitle him to do. As he puts it, he is embracing his "rock star" life.
The irony is that living large and doing exactly as he pleases has long been a central ingredient in Sheen's appeal. His role on "Two and a Half Men" as a womanizing, footloose bachelor seems lifted out of his real life, which is one of the reasons it is funny. We think we are seeing Sheen spoofing himself. When Sheen reminded us that his life is even more extreme than his character's, the media turned censorious — an example of trying to have your comedy and revile it too. Sheen is absolutely right to call this hypocrisy. He has never pretended to be a Boy Scout. He has always purported to be precisely the opposite.
More broadly, even as Sheen blows the whistle on the idea that celebrities are just like us (or that he has ever been anything other than a loose cannon), he also reveals the cracks in the "humble star-grateful audience" contract. When Willis was making his observations on celebrity some 15 years ago, he explained that Americans everywhere, having seen the benefits of fame, desired it. Increasingly, he noted, it isn't what we have in common with stars that binds us to them; it's exactly the opposite. Privilege and arrogance once repulsed us. Now, in our amped-up, success-obsessed culture, it attracts us.
And if Sheen isn't the first celebrity to be overtly imperial, he may be the first to tell us just how imperial he is. Think "Adonis DNA," and "winning, duh."
And that may be Sheen's real infraction to his detractors: In letting us know that he is nothing like us — that his life is the American dream on steroids and that many of us, as he says, are jealous of him for it — he has shown us that envy is at least as potent a force as identification. With his firing this week, one might even say that he sacrificed his career for the cause.

Aguilera Hit Stolen From Moon People
Aguilera Hit Stolen From Moon People
Take a listen ... Christina's song clearly samples from a 1968 latin soul tune called "Hippy Skippy Moon Strut" (aka "I'll Be a Lucky Man) by Dave Cortez and the Moon People. Gotta love that name.
According to the federal lawsuit, filed in New York, TufAmerica purchased exclusive rights to 'Hippy Skippy' in 2004 ... however Sony Music -- Christina's label -- made a deal with Codigo Music and the Clyde Otis Music Group to use the song.
TufAmerica is asking the court to declare it the rightful owner of the groovy '60s hit ... and to void the other publishers' claims on the song. The company also wants damages -- as in money.

Lindsay Lohan Necklace Surveillance Video Sold
Lindsay Lohan Necklace Surveillance Video Sold
The store reportedly just sold the surveillance tape of Lindsay to Entertainment Tonight for $35,000!
"The tape was sold in the U.S. and abroad," a source told Radaronline. "The jewelry store wanted a bidding war to maximize profits. They chopped up the sale to different outlets to make as much money as possible," the source told us.
The tape is a key piece of evidence in the felony grand theft case against Lindsay, so they basically f**ked up the prosecutor's case.
Lindsay's defense was that the store let her loan the necklace, but the store says she flat out stole it.
Lindsay's lawyer Shawn Holley is trying to work Lindsay a plea deal that will involve about 3 months in the pokey, but Lindsay refuses to go back to jail.

| Charlie Sheen rant targets Chuck Lorre |
Sheen didn't respond well to the decision to halt production for the season on "Two and a Half Men." In a letter posted on TMZ, Sheen had more harsh words and vitriol for Lorre.
Sheen writes, "What does this say about Haim Levine [Chuck Lorre] after he tried to use his words to judge and attempt to degrade me. I gracefully ignored this folly for 177 shows ... I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can't handle my power and can't handle the truth. I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words -- imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists. I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong."
