Report: Victoria Beckham Bans "Too Skinny" Models From New York Fashion Show

Victoria Beckham kicked off her new collection last night during Fashion's Night Out at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City.

In a sleek, shimmery and stunning dress designed by her, of course, that's draped to show off her shoulders, Victoria has been in Manhattan getting ready for the runway, unveiling her 2011 collection on the catwalks this week.

But even though Posh is quite petite, she's apparently banned any size zeros from wearing her looks on the runway. She turned away 12 models she deemed "too skinny" from appearing in her show, according to The Daily Mirror.

Tom Cruise's wife graces the October cover of Marie Claire and opens up about her still-hot hubby: "Tom's as big at home as he is on the movie screen. He's so passionate about everything, whatever he's doing."

And what about having more kids? "Maybe in a couple of years, but right now I want to make sure I'm really there for Suri," Katie says. The Romantics comes out in theaters this Friday.

Meanwhile, Katie Holmes will be honored at Variety's Power of Women luncheon later this month, along with fellow actresses Natalie Portman and Jennifer Garner, to name a few.

FIRST PICTURES - Jennifer Aniston And Courteney Cox On Cougar Town

We're loving the idea of a mini-Friends reunion with Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston on Cougar Town! Aniston, 41, is playing Bonnie ... a way-too-involved shrink to Cox's Cougar character Jules.

This is the second time that the friends have starred together. Back in 2007, they shared screen time and a kiss on FX's Dirt.

The Cougar Town episode featuring Aniston will air on September 22nd.

The news organization made the long-awaited announcement today.

Morgan, 45, will begin his new CNN job as host of a "candid, in-depth newsmaker interview program" in January. In a statement, Morgan had this to say about King:

“I have watched Larry King Live for much of the last 25 years, and dreamed of one day filling the legendary suspenders of the man I consider to be the greatest TV interviewer of them all."

Reports claim that Simon Cowell, Morgan's fellow judge on Britain's Got Talent, helped negotiate his multi-million dollar CNN deal.

Judge To Snooki: You're A "Lindsay Lohan Wannabe"

The Jersey Shore troublemaker got served!
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, 22, pleaded guilty in court today - the reality TV starlet was charged with disorderly conduct - and fined $500, as well as ordered to perform community service, reports the AP.
Judge Damian G. Murray lectured Snooki, too! Even going so far as to call her a "Lindsay Lohan wannabe."

And that wasn't all:

"Going through life rude, profane, obnoxious and self-indulgent – that's not the way you want to live your life. Hopefully this incident will impress upon you that there are consequences to your actions."

 

Ouch! Think Snooki will be a better person now?

Ben Affleck Promotes The Town In Another Town

Ben Affleck joined his brother Casey in Italy where he's promoting his second directorial effort at the Venice Film Festival, the bank-robbing love story The Town.

Posing with co-star Rebecca Hall, who actually resembles Affleck's wife Jennifer Garner.

And with the positive reviews for his film, it seems as if Ben's career is hitting the high note again!

With a great career, a gorgeous wife, and two adorable daughters, does Ben Affleck finally have it all?

Lindsay Lohan Keeps Her Chin Up At Court

A chipper and casually dressed Lindsay Lohan arrived at the Santa Monica courthouse this morning to meet with her probation officer, and rather than rolling up in her Maserati, the starlet was chauffeured to her meeting in a black SUV.

We asked about her upcoming album (you know, the one Samantha Ronson will produce), but the Machete star wouldn't reveal whether or not her big comeback will be tied to the revival of her music career...

Ashley Greene Shows Joe Jonas What He's Missing While She's Away Shooting LOL In Paris

Ashley Greene showed off her gorgeous gams in a pair of Daisy Dukes as she takes a day off from shooting LOL with Miley Cyrus to hang out in Paris while boyfriend Joe Jonas ran for charity this morning in Florida.

Perhaps she wanted to show Joe what he was missing while she was almost 5,000 miles away!

The Twilight beauty was looking just as fit and fab as ever as she greeted her French fans. And it seems they've made just as much an impression on her as she has on them!

"To all of you I've had the chance to meet in Paris.. I'm Blown away by your love and support," she tweeted. "You've made my trip so much more memorable. Xx"

I guess all that "love and support" makes it easier for her to be away from boyfriend Joe Jonas!

Paris Hilton -- First Photo Since Cocaine Arrest

Paris Hilton has fled the country! Okay, not really -- she's just in Hawaii, soaking up the sun and taking her mind off that pesky arrest for cocaine possession.

Extortion Charges Dropped in John Travolta Case

A judge in the Bahamas has dropped the charges in the extortion case involving John Travolta ... at the actor's request.

The two defendants -- Tarino Lightbourne and Pleasant Bridgewater -- were charged with trying to allegedly get millions from John in return for keeping an ambulance waiver secret on the day Jett died.

The first trial resulted in a mistrial.  Travolta now says he does not want to return to the Bahamas a year later to revisit the tragedy, adding, "The first trial in this matter resulted in a heavy emotional toll on my family."

Travolta, who with wife Kelly Preston are expecting a boy, goes on:  "It was finally time to put this matter behind us ... I concluded that it was in my family's best interest for me not to voluntarily return to the Bahamas to testify a second time at trial."

An official from the Bahamas tells us prosecutors still have the option to file the case again ... but without the cooperation of the alleged victim it's highly unlikely.

David Hasselhoff On Dancing With The Stars: "This Is Not The Easiest Thing I've Ever Done"

David Hasselhoff, carrying a pair of blue suede shoes as he left the Dancing With The Stars rehearsal, told photogs that non-stop dancing practice with partner Kym Johnson "is not the easeist thing I've ever done."

Hasselhoff, who isn't even the oldest contestant this season (Florence Henderson has that honor) should be in great shape for the show, since he's been spending the summer performing with his daughters in Europe, but I guess even the Hoff can't handle 8 hours of dancing!

The former Baywatch star said he was going to hit the beach after sweating his butt off in the studio, where he had to return the next day promptly at 7am. No rest for the weary!

Lindsay Lohan Remains Positive Despite Being Knocked Off The Top Spot At The Box Office

Lindsay Lohan got a good start on Friday, but ultimately George Clooney's new flick The American outperformed hers this weekend, with $13 million to Machete's $11.3 million. Takers earned $11.5 million, bumping Machete to the number three spot at the box office, but there's still time for the film to accumulate more money in ticket sales, and Lindsay is certainly proud of her work!

The actress, who hasn't been tweeting much lately, wrote on her Twitter account over the weekend, "Its a beautiful day in la to have a hit film!!! Congrats to all of the cast, crew, & production team of #MACHETE !! Danny Trejo is fantastic." Lindsay added on Friday, "I'm so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful cast & experience! It's such a blessing!", so even though she wasn't exactly invited to the premiere, she's definitely doing her part to promote the flick and be positive!

Pamela Anderson Strips Down For Nokia

Now THIS is how you sell a phone! Pamela Anderson has stripped down to her lacy skivvies for the launch of Nokia's soon-to-be-released N8 handset.

Along with the sexy campaign is a competition in which a lucky winner will be chosen to film a bedroom scene with the former Baywatch babe, 43, for a short film called The Commuter. Sign me up!

Speaking of phones ... looks like the person doing the photoshop work is on speed dial!

Wyclef Jean Disses Sean Penn For Criticism Of Haiti Presidential Bid, Accuses Him Of "Sniffing Cocaine"

After Sean Penn and former Fugees bandmate Praswell criticized Wyclef Jean's bid to run for president of Haiti, the MC is firing back in a big way.

"I got a message for Sean Penn: Maybe he ain't see me in Haiti because he was too busy sniffing cocaine," Wyclef sang during Hot 97's On The Reggae Tip concert Friday. (Penn said he hadn't seen Wyclef on the ground in Haiti during Sean's six month earthquake relief mission.)

As for Pras, "even though you don't want to support me, I got love for you, even though you only kicked 8 bars in the Fugees," he sang, switching out the lyrics to his song "President."

Wyclef was deemed ineligible to run for president of Haiti after a board determined he was not a resident.

Jim Toth Hangs With Reese Witherspoon And Her Kids

On Saturday, Jim Toth joined Reese Witherspoon and her kids Ava and Deacon at Ojai restaurant, and the foursome looked like one happy family when we spotted them leaving with a pizza box. Jim and Reese have been dating for over six months now, and though Reese has stayed pretty mum on her relationship with the talent agent, it sure seems like things are very serious between the two of them!

More serious than they were with Jake Gyllenhaal even?

Joe Jackson -- Spankings Kept Michael Out of Gangs

The interview with Joe was shot by Jacksonsecretvault.com over the summer and will be used as part of a movie Katherine Jackson is producing with Howard Mann.

The interviewer asks Joe what he thinks about Michael's past comments about Joe's parenting -- alluding to allegations of physical abuse. Joe says, "I had to be like that because when raising him, in those days, so many gangs out there getting into trouble, going to jail. Most of them are dead now. He didn't have to worry about that."

The interviewer also asked if Joe had any regrets, "No! They tried to make a big issue when I spanked Michael or some of the kids, ya know? Just like they didn't spank their kids when they did wrong. The media twists everything."

NFL team drops former Heisman winner

As expected, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart lost his job today.

And before you think, "Well, Leinart went to USC and was coached by Pete Carroll, so Leinart will land in Seattle," keep in mind that just-released quarterback Patrick Ramsey, formerly of the Saints, played for the Denver Broncos in 2007 and 2008 when current offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates was there. Ramsey seems a more reasonable option.

The Seahawks also acquired Eagles lineman Stacy Andrews and lost legendary line coach Alex Gibbs to an apparent retirement.
