Sexy mama: Motherhood gives Nicole Richie's figure a boost

Nicole Richie looked just swell as she showed off her post-baby figure at the launch of her fiance's new clothing range.

Motherhood has clearly given the 26-year-old's formerly skinny figure a boost - she looked radiant in a tight sliver dress at the launch party for DCMA Collective in Los Angeles on Friday night.

The Simple Life star was supporting fiance Joel Madden, 29, who has just launched his first clothing line with his twin brother Benji.

And keeping it all in the family, Good Charlotte star Benji, brought along his new girlfriend - Paris Hilton, Nicole's best friend since childhood and her Simple Life co-star.

Nicole, who wore an "H" pendant around her neck, gave birth to Harlow Winter Kate Madden on January 11 but already looks toned enough to wear the most unforgiving material.

During recent years she has been through several figure transformations - from slender but curvy in the early series of The Simple Life to being painfully thin before her pregnancy.

She now appears to be in her element with her curvy but petite figure.

But, like Christina Aguilera, who gave birth on the same day as Nicole, her cleavage has been given a welcome boost by motherhood.

While Nicole glammed it up and showed off her new fuller figure at the launch party, best friend Paris wore more casual clothes. The heiress showed up in an outfit from the very range that was being previewed - wearing a DCMA Collective Drip Drop t-shirt and Eighty-8 hoody.

Nicky Hilton, Christina Milian and Ja Rule also walked the red carpet at the event.

DCMA Collective is a collaboration between Good Charlotte brothers Joel and Benji Madden, their older brothers Josh and friend Tal Cooperman.

First Look: The Incredible Hulk

The first pictures of "The Incredible Hulk" have been released, giving us a sneak peek of one of this summer's most eagerly awaited blockbusters.

Edward Norton can be seen undergoing a radical transformation in the new photos as he takes the lead as the angry green superhero in director Louis Leterrier new version.

The $125 million sequel is rumoured to be more action-packed than previous director Ang Lee's 2003 effort, which received a lukewarm response from fans and critics.
Edward Norton plays scientist Bruce Banner who has been poisoned by gamma radiation and is desperately searching for a cure.

Unfortunately for him, the condition also means that whenever he gets angry he turns into his alter-ego - The Hulk.

The film also introduces a villain - The Abomination - a nightmarish beast of pure aggression whose powers match The Hulk's own.

Chased by the military who want to capture him and expolit his power, Banner must also escape from the clutches of his nemesis, General Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt).

Banner is forced to make a choice between a peaceful life with Betty Ross (Liv Tyler), the woman he loves, or to find the heroism within The Hulk and run the risk of never changing back.

Tim Roth also joins the quality cast as well as Robert Downey Jr. reprising his role as Tony Stark, Iron Man's alter ego, in a scene with Hurt's General Thunderbolt Ross.

The Incredible Hulk is released in the UK on June 13.

Freaky feet: Paris Hilton reveals her terrifying size 11s

She's not one to shy away from attention of any sort, but not even Paris Hilton would be pleased that all eyes were on her rather peculiar feet yesterday.

The heiress' huge size 11s attracted attention for all the wrong reasons - they looked exceptionally bony and sinewy as she hit the street in a silver pair of ballet flats in LA yesterday.

Paris has previously bemoaned her super sized feet, saying: "Yeah, it sucks, because I see all these super cute shoes in the stores: Guccis, YSLs, Manolos. And when they bring them out in my size, they look like clown shoes."

Still, yesterday she was clearly focused on other matters - was trawling the town on shopping spree with her new boyfriend, rocker Benji Madden, who was celebrating his 29th birthday.

Later, the newly inseparable pair were spotted cheering on Paris' sister as they sat front row at the Nicholai By Nicky Hilton Fall 2008 fashion show held at Smashbox Studios.

There they appeared more smitten than ever - Paris, dressed in fishnet stockings and a racy red frock, showed off her sparkling "BM" ring, while Benji had his own "PH" bling.
The relationship has been in overdrive since the couple began dating last month, with one source saying: "It's pretty serious."

Another source says Paris has never been happier and is "completely at peace with Benji."

For his part, Benji has reportedly said: "I'm crazy about this girl."

They were expected to meet up with Madden's twin brother Joel and his girlfriend Nicole Richie, to continue celebrations for the Good Charlotte rockers' joint birthday.

Madonna's true blue speech

Madonna accepted her place in the books of rock'n'roll history last night with a foul mouthed shot at the audience and a drugs confession.

The singer addressed the audience as 'mother f*****s' before recalling on memories of a drug taking past.

She first spoke of a time when she met her long time publicist Liz Rosenberg, confessing she was 'smoking a joint'.

She then revealed she split an ecstasy pill with a music executive who she gave her first demo tape to.
Earlier, the global Queen of Pop spoke of being possessed by magic as she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

"I felt like I had been possessed by some magic and luckily for me I have been miraculously and continuously possessed by some kind of magic," Madonna said at the annual Hall of Fame ceremony in New York.

"I have gone on to do so many things in my life, from writing children's books, to designing clothes, to directing a film. But for me it always does, and it always will, come back to the music.'

Madonna, 49, was inducted by pop star Justin Timberlake, who has co-written and co-produced half the songs on her new album "Hard Candy," which is released next month.

"Nobody has gotten into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame looking this damn fine," he said. "You're no old museum piece."

Madonna made her debut in 1982 and her first album "Madonna", including hits such as "Holiday," "Borderline" and "Lucky Star", helped her become one of the best-selling pop artists, with more then 200 million albums sold worldwide.

Other artists inducted into the Hall of Fame included Leonard Cohen, rocker John Mellencamp, British pop band The Dave Clark Five and instrumental group The Ventures.

Artists become eligible for the Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of their first single or album and are represented in an exhibition at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame museum in Cleveland, Ohio.

While The Dave Clark Five and Mellencamp had been nominated before, this was the first year Madonna was eligible. Iggy & The Stooges performed rock versions of her pop hits "Burning Up" and "Ray of Light" after her induction.

Cohen, a gravel-voiced Canadian whose songs tell of love and sex, faith and betrayal, is among the most literary of songwriters.

He published four books of poetry and two novels before trying music, partly to escape being a starving artist.

"This is a very unlikely occasion for me. It is not a distinction that I coveted or even dared dream about," he said before reciting the lyrics to "Tower of Song" from his 1988 album "I'm Your Man." He was inducted by Lou Reed.

Does Britney Have a Stalker?

A report online says that Britney Spears has been receiving threatening letters and packages and took them to the authorties -- but we're hearing differently.

E! News is saying that things with Brit have gotten so bad, they turned over the evidence to the LAPD and the FBI. But when TMZ called the LAPD yesterday and again this morning, a spokeswoman told us they had "no recent reports of any threats."

It's SOP at the FBI not to comment on an ongoing investigation.

Actress Kate Hudson gets a digital boob job to promote new movie

Actress Kate Hudson's enviable figure received a helping hand on the poster for new movie Fool's Gold.

The petite actress has done nothing to disguise her lack of cleavage, and has recently been seen in Miami frolicking in an itsy bitsy red bikini.

But the publicity machine has not shared her pride in her body, opting to digitally enhance her bust in US posters to advertise her role in the film which sees her reunited with Hollywood hunk Matthew McConaughey.

The 28-year-old daughter of Goldie Hawn has been given a cheeky boost in the bust area, adding some curves to her flatchested frame, as happened to British actress Keira Knightley in the US posters to advertise her role in the 2004 film King Arthur.

McConaughey and Hudson play a divorced couple reunited in a quest for 18th-century treasure lost at sea in the box office hit.

Five years ago the pair co-starred in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days in which they played lovers who lied to each other.

And in Fool's Gold, the real-life friends pair up again to re-create the box office magic.
Hudson said of her relationship with McConaughey: "We can drive each other crazy, but there's a real honest love for each other, too."

But the blonde film star has also been hitting headlines for rekindling her affair with actor Owen Wilson.

Hudson, was in Miami over the weekend for the Miami International Film Festival and met up with Wilson on two consecutive nights, according to a US report.

The on-off couple, who broke up last June, went to great lengths to avoid being spotted possibly rekindling their romance.

Arriving separately on Monday evening, they dined with their A-list pals at the ultra-exclusive Mandarin Oriental hotel, on a terrace overlooking Biscayne Bay.

But the previous night, the former lovers enjoyed a secret rendezvous at a multi-million mansion on Miami Beach's luxurious Star Island.

Hudson was also promoting her directorial debut, the short film Cutlass, at the Miami International Film Festival.

After flying in last weekend, she was joined by fellow screen stars Demi Moore and Marisa Tomei for a girls' night the same night, while Wilson had dinner and drinks with a male friend at Nobu restaurant.

Hudson also put paid to rumours of a pregnancy, showing off an impressive flat stomach, as well as a pert bottom, in an itsy-bitsy red bikini poolside.

Flirty Angie gets dumped

Angelina Jolie might be experiencing bliss with her blossoming motherhood and rainbow family with Brad Pitt, but it seems she is yet to give up her wild ways. Reports claim her impulsive behaviour has made her lose one of her best friends and trusted confidants - ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller.

Insiders said Jonny, 35, is starting to feel that Angelina, 32, uses him to make Brad jealous. In December, she and Brad, 44, bumped into Jonny at the Floyd Mayweather v/s Ricky Hatton heavyweight fight in Las Vegas.

“Brad was only standing a few feet away and Angie was whispering in Jonny’s ear,” the pal says. “It made Jonny feel really uncomfortable.” There were reports that the time that it also made Pitt quite uncomfortable as well.

In Touch Weekly reports that Jonny is fed up - and is speaking to her lesser than ever. “He’s had enough of Angie playing with his emotions,” an insider says.

“She drops him and picks him up again when she feels like it. The time has come to draw the line.” Did he dump her?

It should also be noted that Jonny is getting married to actress Michele Hicks soon and that might have something to do with it as well.

Interestingly, Angelina had once said that divorcing Jonny in 1999 after three years was ‘probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever done’.

But even with that declaration, since they split nine years ago, the two have remained close. Jonny has been there for Angelina from her rocky marriage to Billy Bob Thornton through her romance with Brad Pitt.

Will Angelina be able to win her best friend back? That’s only for time to tell.

Meanwhile, Angelina is starting to get the unusual food cravings experienced by so many mums-to-be. The actress is said to be wolfing down fatty snacks including burgers, chips, ice cream and milkshakes from a popular US hamburger chain. And she even has them together.

“She’s really not watching her carb intake or anything she’s eating,” a source tells Hot Stars.

“She has In-N-Out french fries dipped in milkshake and hot sauce. Gross - but she is pregnant!”

Angelina and Brad are already parents to daughter Shiloh, 20 months, and adopted children Maddox, 6, Pax Thien, 4, and Zahara, 3.

SHOCK! SEE PIC Brad Pitt gets a geeky new haircut

Brad Pitt has been snapped with a boyish short back and sides on the set of his new movie in Texas.

The geeky style makes the 44-year-old look like a 1950s college student, rather than a soon-to-be dad of five.

Brad has been to the barber's shop to get in character for his role in Terence Malick-directed Tree Of Life, but the details of the plot are secret.

We hated the Hollywood star's recent look - with beard and toupee-style dark fringe - but this is still bit of a shock.
