Celeb bodies - the hotties & the flops
It's time for another hot poll, but this one comes with a twist. Included are stars with the not-so-hot-anymore bods. And you'll be surprised to find out who made that list!
"It's no secret that the majority of men like women with curves, the Victoria Beckham 'lollipop head' look is so over. It's great to see home-grown talent like Kelly and Cheryl fighting it out at the top amongst Hollywood's finest," Contactmusic quoted Lisa Smosarski, editor of Britain's More! magazine.

Monica Bellucci gave birth to a baby girl
Italian actress Monica Bellucci and her French actor husband Vincent Cassel have become the parents of a baby girl named Leonie, born Friday in Rome, the actress announced on the Italian edition of Vanity Fair website.
"She has arrived -- a pretty little brunette. It was a natural birth like that of old peasant women, the labour lasted two-and-a-half hours," Bellucci, 45, said on the site www.style.it.
Leonie weighed 3.2 kilogrammes (seven pounds), said the new mother who has been married to Cassel, 43, since 1999 and with whom she has a daughter Deva, now five years old.
In a recent issue of Vanity Fair Italy, which included a photograph of the glamorous actress during her pregnancy, Bellucci commented on giving birth in her forties.
She said it took "courage to have children late because of the risks for yourself and for the child."
But she added that she considered herself "very lucky" to have had a healthy first child "by natural birth like a peasant woman from Umbria", the region of Italy where the actress was born.
Bellucci, a former model, has appeared in Hollywood films such as "The Matrix Reloaded", "The Brothers Grimm" and "Don't Look Back".

Mischa Barton Hot Gossips
Hollywood actress Mischa Barton has admitted that she is a very impatient shopper and hates trying out things while shopping for clothes.
The 'OC' star, who loves picking out clothes from the street, calls herself lucky as without even a trial she is normally right with her choices, reported Instyle magazine.
"I like to shop in Brooklyn, New York, where there are a lot of people selling their things on the street. I love to pick out weird stuff like that. I'm not very patient when I shop. I don't try things on - if they don't work out, I take them back, but usually I have a pretty good eye."said Mischa
The 24-year-old actress, who has her own line of handbags, said that pockets are the most important for her while shopping for one.
"On bags, I always look for pockets that are actually functional - that's the most important thing. I tend to have quite big bags, but I do like little purses - just for the things I need, like a credit card and ChapStick. Other days, I like to be able to throw everything in there!"

Christina Aguilera Hot Gossips
Christina Aguilera stopped by 30 Rockefeller Center this morning for the Today show’s latest live summer concert. After her performance at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday failed to generate much buzz, this was another opportunity to get fans excited about her new album, Bionic, which arrived in stores today. So how did she do?
Before performing, Aguilera chatted briefly with NBC’s Matt Lauer.
Turns out their respective kids have very different tastes in music: Her son likes cutting-edge electro, his is more of a Sesame Street guy. Then it was on to the stage. Aguilera opened with an abbreviated take on Bionic‘s title track, followed by current single “Not Myself Tonight.” Neither performance blew me away — ultimately, these just aren’t particularly memorable songs — but she was definitely in better voice than she was on Sunday.
Later in the broadcast, Aguilera reached back to 2002-2003′s “Fighter” and “Beautiful.” Both tunes sounded as fun and empowering as ever. Whatever you think of her new work, it was a reminder not to underestimate Aguilera’s back catalog.

Vanessa Minnillo wants Kids
Growing up in the South, Vanessa Minnillo had a clear idea of what she wanted to accomplish – and it wasn’t necessarily about achieving stardom.
"I thought I would be married with three kids before I was 25," says Minnillo. "I’ve been excited to have kids since I can remember. I was more excited about having kids than getting married!"
But now that she's getting ready to celebrate the big 3-0, she's taking a step back and reassessing her once-strict timeline. "I learned to take life day by day," says the judge on ABC's reality show, True Beauty. "You can have dreams and aspirations and goals but you can’t put time constraints on them.”
Boyfriend Nick Lachey, 36, is okay with her relaxed attitude as well. "Nick and I talk about kids but we don’t talk about when because it goes back to the time constraint thing. It becomes stressful," she says.
Still, Minnillo knows she doesn’t have all the time in the world. "I want three to four kids, so I know I gotta get started," Minnillo says with a laugh. "But as long as life goes the way we hoped and dreamed, we just take everything as a blessing, and when it does come it will be the right time."
And there's one thing she’s sure of. "Nick is going to be an amazing dad," she says. "I hope [it will be] with me, but either way, he's going to be an amazing dad."

Tyra Banks Hot Gossips
A teary Tyra Banks wrapped up her Tyra talk show today. "I had journalists tell me this show was going to be canceled in two weeks, and it's five years..."
She showed clips of memorable shows -- Tyra as a fat woman, Tyra homeless, Tyra in jail -- and snippets of interviews with President Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards. Larry King and others offered taped send-offs. Larry called her the 'fiercest host' in television.
She announced that her studio, Bankable Studios, will launch films and a new imprint from Random House, Bankable Books, will release empowering books in 2011, starting with a book called Modeland.
And in the end, she cried, clutched her two Emmys and said, "Sometimes you gotta leave when you're on top." Then she made a final Tyra walk and got down on her hands and knees and kissed the runway. Here's a little snippet from E!

The Karate Kid - Movie Review
Speaking of eye-rollers, not a few cynics grumbled when they heard that Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith were bankrolling "The Karate Kid" as a vehicle for their son, Jaden. But the serenely self-possessed 11-year-old, while at times uncannily resembling his father, manages to carve out a screen persona all his own. As Dre Parker, who with his mother, Sherry (Taraji P. Henson), has just moved to Beijing from Detroit, he brings a soulful, searching sense of vulnerability to a kid who comes under attack from bullies on his first day in town. After a particularly brutal beat-down, Dre is defended by his apartment house caretaker, a quiet introvert named Mr. Han (Jackie Chan).
When Han -- who turns out to be a kung fu master -- goes up against the crumbums who have been terrorizing Dre, he does so largely with defensive moves that wind up literally tying the belligerents into knots. Thus does "The Karate Kid" honor the ancient Hollywood art of serving up bone-crushing violence with enlightenment on the side: Though the filmmakers invite viewers to wince and cheer during the film's increasingly painful fight scenes, they make sure to soften the blows with wise tutorials in self-discipline, respect and balance.

Zhang Ziyi Promotes for AIDS
Actress Zhang Ziyi joined director Gu Changwei in Beijing on Tuesday to tout the making of China's first feature film to address the country's growing HIV/AIDS problem in what producers hope will be a commercial release at the end of 2010.
"Life Is A Miracle" -- budgeted at about 20 million yuan ($3 million) by Beijing-based Stellar Megamedia and Beijing Forbidden City Film Co -- also stars Hong Kong actor Aaron Kwok and Pu Cunxin, an actor who has spearheaded China's official AIDS awareness campaigns.
Much of the current rapid spread of HIV in China has been through intravenous drug use and prostitution, resulting in as many as 1.5 million people affected, with some estimates going much higher.
Gu, whose film "Peacock" won the Silver Bear at Berlin in 2005, was feted at a news conference by members of the government for tackling a rural love story following two HIV infected characters played by Zhang and Kwok in their first on-screen collaboration.
"The point of this movie is to use the medium to show our society caring for AIDS victims," a Ministry of Health representative said. "Only then can we create a good atmosphere for treating the prejudice they suffer."
In many rural areas of China during the 1990s, particularly in the province of Henan, hundreds of thousands of farmers were infected with HIV when they donated blood to state-run programs that used contaminated needles.
Ana Ivanovic Hot Gossips
The 2008 French Open saw Ana Ivanovic reach the pinnacle of the women’s game. The young Serb had won her first major title and risen to the World No. 1 ranking. Having previously failed in two major finals, she had cast off the tag of being a "choker" and it seemed as though everything was falling into place. She was destined to win more major titles.
The big problem, however, is that once you reach the top, often, the only way is down. In the two years since her finest triumph, Ivanovic has certainly learned this lesson.
As soon as she had reached the top her game, her mind began to disintegrate. She departed from Wimbledon that year in the third round and it wouldn’t be until March 2009 when she would reach the final of a premier event, although she was the runner-up in Linz in October 2008.
In defense of her French Open title she stumbled to a fourth round defeat to Victoria Azarenka, who was World No. 9, only one place below Ivanovic. Clearly, she hadn’t been disgraced.
On the face of it, just glancing at her results since her French Open victory, there would’ve only been a slight cause for concern. She was still ranked inside the top 10 and she was by no means being embarrassed on the scoreboard.
If you saw her matches, however, it was clear that something was wrong. We had previously seen glimpses into her lack of confidence, most notably in the 2007 French Open final when her ball toss was somewhat erratic.
Ivanovic later said, in her own refreshingly honest way, that she had been overwhelmed by the occasion and was crippled by nerves and despite going on to win there a year later, her nerves would continue to reappear.

Having to work on the Father's Day holiday, Ashley Greene was spotted arriving in Toronto, Canada on Saturday evening (June 19).
The Alice Cullen cutie had a bit of a sour expression on her face upon touching down at Pearson International Airport as she passed by awaiting paparazzi on the way to the terminal exit.
