Jackie O. is an American icon, and her pillbox hats and strands of pearls made her a fashion icon as well. Now a set of Jackie's pearls are going up for auction, and it's estimated that they will bring in roughly $47,000. But get this: They're fake. Yup. Nearly 50 thousand dollars just to own what is essentially a historic prop.
The clasp of the necklace is made of gold and emerald, but the pearls are valued at a couple hundred bucks. Apparently Jackie so frequently misplaced her baubles that she never sunk a whole lot of money into them. Oh, the irony.
The necklace will be auctioned off at Bonhams' "Pioneers of Popular Culture" sale on August 15... See ya there? />Jackie O. is an American icon, and her pillbox hats and strands of pearls made her a fashion icon as well.

Lady Gaga is on the cover of i-D Magazine and while these photos seem like more of the same ol' stuff to me, I would never deny you Little Monsters of your Gaga fix.

Snooki and I came to similar realizations this week: Maybe there's no reason to start drinking before the sun goes down. In fact, maybe you should wait to start drinking until several hours after the sun has gone down, if you even have to drink at all.
After what was a pretty embarrassing arrest, Snooki spoke to The Post:
"I need to calm down with drinking," she tells The Post. "I can't be drinking in the middle of the day."
The bust "definitely embarrassed my family. I don't want to end up like that. That's not a good image. My dad was very, very pissed. He was like, 'I didn't raise you like this.' "
I hate to say this (for Lohan's sake), but Miss Lindsay probably would have done well in life if she had more self-control and a dad like Snooki's. At some point, regardless of how much of a party animal you are on the inside, you have to find a balance in your life. For many people, that involves some kind of reality check (like getting arrested!), and your true character is determined by how you choose to react in the face of that. />Snooki and I came to similar realizations this week: Maybe there's no reason to start drinking before the sun goes down.

With sister Malia off at camp and dad running the free world, Sasha and Michelle Obama had some time to kill this summer. The two headed to Spain, and as you can tell from these photos, the Obamas don't have to stay on American soil to be treated like royalty. They're staying in Marbella, Spain, and when they're not splashing around in the water, they're kickin' it in a cabana... with hundreds of on-lookers and paparazzi there for the whole thing. Despite what I saw on that Disney Channel Original Movie, I'd say that there's worst gigs out there than First Daughter.

"Fuck you, you hip motherfuckers! Why don't you rock the fuck out?! Maybe I should go grab those free drinks and shove them down your throats, you hip motherfuckers!"
- Jack White flipping out on his audience (which included Liv Tyler and Mary-Kate Olsen) during a Dead Weather show in NYC. He didn't feel like they were "rocking out" hard enough.
I can understand Jack's frustration. I'd say the same thing. />

I realize that these photos of Russell Brand running around in his underwear with blood on his mouth are from the set of his new movie Arthur, but I'd like to think that this is what he'd be doing even if he wasn't working. For some reason, nearly naked and partially bloody just suits Russell. And he seems to love it, too. Look at how he's hamming it up for the cameras...

Levi Johnston may not be with Bristol Palin anymore, but that doesn't mean he's going to fall out of the spotlight. That's right, Old Levdawgs is back to trying his hand at the whole Hollywood thing, this time co-starring in a music video with singer Brittani Senser. Yeah, I have no idea who she is either.
A promotional poster for the "After Love" music video (LOL, what kind of world are we living in?) has been released, and while I'm trying to look on the bright side, there doesn't seem to be much of one. Unless you count "so campy and poorly made that it's actually kind of funny to watch," as a positive (Yet I doubt that's the feel Brittani is going for.)
If you want to find out what this Brittani chick is all about, here's a video of her performing "After Love" live. Her voice isn't as bad as choices in male leads. />

Everyone I know is blowing their load over Inception (except my BFF Edward, who thought it sucked ass) and lately a rumor has been going around that it may not exactly be the deepest/most interesting/most original in the history of film after all. People are saying that Christopher Nolan stole the idea for the movie from an old Scrooge MacDuck comic, and while "steal" isn't the word I would use, The Answer Bitch had a pretty good explaination:
Still, there are quite a few similarities between the comic—entitled Uncle Scrooge in The Dream of a Lifetime—and the Leonardo DiCaprio flick. I dug around to see where writer-director Christopher Nolan got his idea. I also ran your query past some intellectual property experts to determine if we're going to see any sort of duck-on-DiCaprio lawsuit in the near future:
And the answer to that latter question is, probably not.
There are simply too many differences in each story. Yes, both stories deal with dream invasion. Both have some form of thought manipulation. But beyond that, the stories start to diverge.
For one, "Dream manipulation has been around at least since Shakespeare's fairies did it in A Midsummer Night's Dream," points out attorney Joseph R. Englander of Shutts & Bowen LLP. "The concepts of the comic and the movie may be similar, but that alone is not enough to claim infringement."
Right. And there are other points of difference. There are ducks in the comic, not people.
And the motives in the two stories are totally different.
The goal in the Scrooge comic is simple theft; someone wants to steal Scrooge's money. The impetus in Inception is some sort of something-something about two energy companies, and the head of one wants to break up the other, and everybody decides that the best way to do that is not through a hostile stock takeover but rather via Cillian Murphy's brain.
However, for the sake of argument, let's just say that Nolan did happen to see that Scrooge comic. Let's just say that one floppy little booklet gave him the idea to pen a tale about a bunch of pretty people who jack into dreams through their wrists—you know, where the dreams live?—and plunder all the thoughts therein.
Even so, it still doesn't really count as a real ripoff, I am told.
So what do you think? And do you even care? />Everyone I know is blowing their load over Inception (except my BFF Edward, who thought it sucked ass) and lately a rumor has been going around that it may not exactly be the deepest/most interesting/most original in the history of film after all.

I always laugh at photos of celebrities covering their faces from the paparazzi. 1) What's the point? Gossip blogs are just going to run the photos and call you a brat. 2) For someone to act like their face is a gift that cannot be shared, it's as if they don't realize it's in the middle of their face and even if there weren't cameras there, everyone would see it. 3) If the paparazzi follows you and takes your picture, it's either because you're asking for it or you're so famous and high-paid that it's just a part of the job.
That being said, I like Drew Barrymore and I feel bad that she and Justin Long broke up (again) still, so I'm not going to make fun of her. I'm just going to delicately point out that I already know what she looks like, she's dressed like she wants to be seen and I've totally seen her looking worse.

What?! Oh, I'm sorry. I mean Forbes released their annual list of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood, and being rich as hell isn't the only thing that all the listed ladies have in common.
Here's the rundown:
1. Sandra Bullock: $56 million
2. Reese Witherspoon: $32 million
3. Cameron Diaz: $32 million
4. Jennifer Aniston: $27 million
5. Sarah Jessica Parker: $25 million
6. Julia Roberts: $20 million
7. Angelina Jolie: $20 million
8. Drew Barrymore: $15 million
9. Meryl Streep: $13 million
10. Kristen Stewart: $12 million
While I'm super happy for all these ladies that they're making some serious cake (especially Sandy B., who I will never deny anything), I can't help but notice that this list is missing even one non-white woman. It's far from a new observation that women of color are cast aside in Hollywood for "non-threatening", blond, girl-next-door (if you live in the whitest suburb ever) types, but if you ever needed a reminder of how bad it is, then just give this list a second look.
If only paychecks were based on genuine talent... />
