Soundbites: Victoria Beckham on Becoming Herself

"It's funny. I go to the gym now. I'm very disciplined. I run four miles a day. I go into hair and makeup, and I turn into 'Victoria Beckham.' I'll try on all my dresses, and I'll pick out a handbag, and I'll put on the shades. I instantly turn into this person, and it sort of feels like a character. And there are so many pictures of it...But it's a true character because it’s still me. [Mostly you see my] 'Blue Steel' look – [but] I have started smiling...I've mastered this smirk; it's a smile that isn't a smile." [DON says how sad that she seriously practices her "smirk" for the paparazzi]

On her high heels: "Oh, c'mon, they're not that hard to walk in...They're not uncomfortable! [But] you have to go to a sex shop to get this spray to polish them."

On her downtime: "I run around the house in a tracksuit sometimes. If I go to the supermarket looking like s---, that affects my work. I am selling an image. Plus, I have fun with it. I tell you, the paparazzi would not be sitting outside if they realized I was the most boring person in Hollywood."

LOL: Kim from Real Housewives Singing Karaoke

Thanks Maura!

Where in the World is LiLo?

In New York with her girlfriend, SamRon. LiLo was with her as she spinned along with DJ AM at the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champions’ Party at Tenjune. Later they headed over to Beatrice Inn for some grub.

Pass the Suri on the Left Hand Side

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes took turns carrying their daughter around New York. WTF is going on with Tom's hair? Could he look creepier? Oh yes, just check him out in Valkyrie. Katie, as usual, needs a nap. And now for some Katie soundbites written by her publicist:

"There's a misperception about me that I just became this wallflower, this woman who doesn't have any control of her life. And that's pretty wrong. From the very beginning, I've made choices in my life that have been very strong. When I met Tom I was completely in love and, yes, I admired him growing up – he's Tom Cruise!…When I met him, he was so warm and I thought, Wow! You can be a superstar and a human being. He made me feel so amazing."

Tom's response? “I knew I wanted to marry Kate when I met her. [When she told me that she dreamed of marrying me as a little girl], I said I wouldn’t want to disappoint her. At one point, I thought she was going to ask me to marry her first and I put her off by changing the subject. I wanted to ask her [and bought a ring shortly after our first date].”

Mommy and Me: Isla and Olive

Isla Fisher and baby Olive make an adorable pair as they head to their plane at LAX.

Kate Winslet Premieres The Reader

Something's weird here...I think it's her tan? Anyway, it's totally making me want to watch The Holiday tonight. I would die for Cameron Diaz's house in that movie!

WTF: Keri Russell in Details Magazine

Why take a perfectly nice and adorable woman and pose her like an anorexic meth head? This is not artsy, it's just ugly!

Posh Portfolio

Victoria Beckham is looking extra robotic in these photos. She's been in London, but is now heading home to Los Angeles in preparation for the holiday season. Her clothes look so tight, I can't imagine how she sits, let alone travels, in outfits like that. If you see me on a plane, I'm going the route of LiLo - all black, leggings, fringing moccasins, Ray Bans, giant blanketlike wrap and I accessorize with an iPod and wine.

Justin Timberlake at the Links

Justin Timberlake felt friendly with the photogs as he golfed with Alfonso Ribeiro (yes, Carlton Banks himself) in Toluca Lake, California. Justin will so be prepared for his days as a Silver Fox. I know my Dad makes sure he earns all his monthly AARP points for time spent golfing, drinking whiskey, and rest with leisure activities.

Hot Night at Crown Bar

Crown Bar was THE place to be in Los Angeles last night. Joel and Benji Madden, Lauren Conrad, Kyle Howard, Lo Bosworth, Adrian Grenier, Amanda Bynes, AnnaLynne McCord, Christina Milian, and Kourtney Kardashian were all out celebrating Hump Day.

Where in the World is LiLo?

Still together with SamRon. The couple went out to dinner at Foxtail in West Hollywood last night. They've been dating over a year now.

Katie Holmes Jeans Watch 2008

Another day of business for Katie Holmes. She wore some nice boot cuts as she exited a Starbucks in New York.

Soundbites: Heidi Montag's Mad Mama

“[Spencer's] manipulative and seems to have power over Heidi. I would like to see a blood test from Mexico. It wouldn’t surprise me if he had her drugged. Spencer has tried to cut everyone out of her life. I’ve been honest with Heidi, and it’s caused our relationship to decline. I’m more devastated about that than the marriage, because I’m confident the marriage won’t work out. I want the best for my daughter - and he's definitely not it. I think Spencer wants to possess Heidi more than marry her. God says love your enemies, but I never expected it to be my son-in-law. [I give it] six months. I think it's the biggest mistake Heidi's ever made."

Heidi response? "I didn’t want her present at my wedding because she was starting so much drama. She should be happy I found someone I love. Some people go their entire lives without finding that."

And now let's hear from Spencer: "[She's] Stalker Mom. I think her mom needs to take a real fat chill pill and be happy for her daughter."

Dunzo: Ivana Trump and Hubby Number 4

How was this not meant to last? Ivana Trump, 59, is over her fourth husband, Rossano Rubicondi, 36. They married last April after six years of dating, but have been separated for the past three months. She said that they didn't want to announce the split because he's been on Italy's version of Survivor. In her formal statement, Ivana says, "Rossano wants to live in Miami and work in Milan. But, I am a New Yorker and my family, friends and businesses are here. As the beautiful song says, `Que sera sera!'" Isn't that one of the details your work out before you marry?

Mommy and Me: Angelina and Maddox

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie spent the holiday weekend at their home in New Orleans. Finally a pic of Maddox! He's been MIA for so long, but his mom spent some one-on-one time with him at the toy store while Brad rode his bike around town. Recently, Brad Pitt was interviewed by his friend, chef Jamie Oliver. When asked what the best thing Angelina cooks is, Brad said, "cereal". Obviously! Nobody that thin can possibly love food enough to cook!

Thanksgiving with the Cruises and Beckhams

Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise, and Suri, Connor, and Isabella Cruise spent their Thanksgiving in New York with the Beckham family. The group went to see the Circus and out to dinner.

Brit Brit on X Factor in the UK

She's joined the pants off dance off club! She can be recording secretary because Madonna is President, Beyonce is VP, and Rihanna is the party planning committee chair.

Still On: Jake and Reese

While her children spent the holiday with their father, Reese Witherspoon spent Thanksgiving in London with her boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal. They attended a dinner at the home of architect Richard Rogers. Gwyneth Paltrow was also there, but her husband was still in the US touring with Coldplay.

Daddy Dearest: Ryan, Ava, and Deacon

Ryan Phillipe had custody of his kids, Ava and Deacon, for Thanksgiving. He spent it with girlfriend Abbie Cornish and his parents in Delaware. The group touched down at LAX yesterday, with Ryan and Abbie in matching hats.

Justin Brings Jessica Home for the Holidays

Justin Timberlake brought girlfriend Jessica Biel home to Tennessee for Thanksgiving. The couple, both wearing his denim line, spent time walking her Pit Bull and visited a local art gallery.

Brit Brit Breakdown

Hope those of you in the States enjoyed a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. My trip home was a whirlwind. Nine hours driving there, Thanksgiving, many games of bocce ball, disco bowling with friends, decorating my parent's house, party in the city, high school reunion that was fun but weird (I guess that is how it is supposed to be...spent WAY too much time answering questions about how sick I am and WAY too little time with some of my closest friends, but did catch up with some long lost buddies), then eight hours driving home yesterday with the dog and the rat and a whole lot of stuff.

So back into things. I watched the Brit Brit show this morning and felt so nostalgic. 10 years of Britney and it was good to see her somewhat back to normal. But when she started crying, saying she was sad, and that her life is too under control and dull, I felt sorry for her. She really has been through a lot and I hope she finds a way to have balance in her life. Tomorrow is her birthday and the album drops...yay! Here's her celebrating early at a club in the U.K.
