Why am I so obsessed with this woman?

Can someone please tell me?

Danish super model Helena Christensen is making a career shift! I thought it was just a moment of model insanity when she discussed her dream of photographing a royal wedding, but now the lanky exotic creature is being paid $110,000 to run a photo shoot in Sydney for a tourism campaign. Not everyone was gung-ho about the idea. One Chamber of Commerce member is quotedsaying that “if it doesn’t work that is two years of money wasted in four days.”

This isn’t Helena’s first venture into professional photography from this angle. She also shot an ad campaign for the Carlsburg beer company. It makes sense. She’s been in front of the camera for years. She should know what looks right from the other side.

According to an article on today’s msnbc, Nicole Richie reportedly fainted this past weekend while shopping at an LA boutique.

According to an eyewitness, Richie fell to the floor while lookingthrough a rack of clothes. She reportedly blamed the the heat and was able to leave the store after resting for about 20 minutes.

Of course, the immediate media speculation is that the fainting has something to do with Richie’s recent extreme weight loss. Richie has admitted to being “too thin” but denies being anorexic or bulemic. The tabloids love a good fainting spell, because according to them it can only mean one of three things:

If you’re a man,
fainting = drugs.
If you’re a thin woman,
fainting = eating disorder.
And if you’re a woman who’s not so thin, fainting = pregnant.

They all make good headlines.

Haley Joel Osment, 18 was hospitalized this morning following a car crash.

The former Sixth Sense star reportedly crashed his car into a pillar and flipped the vehicle, according to the Associated Press.

Osment was driving near his Los Angeles home at about 1 a.m. when he lost control of his car, a 1995 Saturn says a spokesperson for the L.A. County Sheriff. Apparently Osment was “alert and talkative” following the accident and was rushed to Huntington Hospital for treatment.

Nominated for an Academy Award for his work in The Sixth Sense in 1999, he’ll next appear as a high school journalist in the film Home of the Giants.

Janet Jackson is preparing to release a new album, 20 Years Old and has a fabulous idea for a cover art design contest. This is one of the shots for the cover art. Like her brother, her looks seem to be slowly shifting with time. Not that she isn’t attracive (some of the other cover art shots are amazing), but what happened to the curvy woman with the big hair? Can’t you have a flat tummy and a real nose?

This shot in particular bothers me. She looks so vacant, and the bone structure and clothes remind me of … someone. Maybe Jessica Simpson trying to be classy? I just can’t place it …

Johnny Depp seems to be having trouble coming out of character. I’ve heard about this. It used to be a “real” problem with method actors: they would forget who they actually were when they got off stage. He’s quoted saying, “I’ve really come to enjoy spending time with [Captain Jack Sparrow], or as him, whatever it is. He’s definitely a big part of me.”

Johnny is even keeping his shiny choppers on camera for a while, though it sounds like he may simply be putting off the dental work. In the mean time we get to see him bumming around in his classic fedora showing off wretched gold teeth.

In a recent interview with the London Times, Patrick Swayze talks about life, acting, and his dislike of “crappy” sequels.

In 1994, Swayze turned down a $7 million offer to star in a sequel to 1987’s Dirty Dancing because the script was terrible. “If the sequel had not been a stupid, formulaic piece of junk, I probably wouldn’t have turned down a fortune,” said Swayze. “Same with ‘Ghost.’ Whoopi, Demi and I had to turn it down.”

Even if he wanted to do a sequel, at this point it’s probably just a bad idea. Swayze is 53 years old and most of his frame was rebuilt with titanium after being paralyzed in a 1997 horseback riding accident. “I am the new $6m man,” says Swayze. ” I trigger alarm bells on metal detectors.”
Something tells me it just wouldn’t be the same.

Life & Style Weekly, the poor gossip lover’s US or People, is reporting that Tori Spelling, 33, is about four months pregnant with her brand spankin’ new husband’s baby. She and Dylan McDermott were married just two months ago.

The mag reports:

“Tori looks about four months pregnant and has been looking at big items like cribs and changing tables,” the insider told Life & Style, adding that Tori was checking out furniture and clothing for a boy and a girl.

“Tori told me that when she finds out the sex of the baby, she’ll order appropriately, but right now she’s picking out for both genders,” the insider says. “She bought several baby items — layettes, blankets, onesies. Tori said she’s a bit upset having to go through all that’s happening in her life now with a baby on the way.”

Ahh, mysterious quotes from enigmatic insiders. I love Hollywood.

Paris’s mouth is talking again. While she’s getting herself botoxed and waxed, she really should see to having her lips sewn shut for the sake of her “career.” Everytime she speaks it is something that only makes her publisist cry.

The subject today is her acting career. I only read the interview, but I could almost hear her whispy little voice bragging about her hidden talents and all of the parts she has lined up. Depressingly, she does have a role in the upcoming college comedy Pledge This!.

The bit that was painful for anyone with a nose for talent was when she started making compairisons to the versitile and talented Charlize Theron. My acting coach told me I have a similar style of acting to Charlize so we may end up vying for the same parts.”

Either she’s using her diary as an acting coach, or she hired one of Daddy’s yes-men for the job. All those two have in common is bone structure!

The British edition of popular tabloid National Enquirer has issued an apology to Britney Spears for reporting she was divorcing her husband, Keven Federline.

The issues came out June 5th and 12th, under blaring headlines that Britney’s marriage was over to Federline and divorce was imminent.

“Contrary to what our articles might have suggested, we now accept that their marriage is not over,” a spokesperson for the tabloid reported. “We apologize for any distress caused.”

It’s no wonder London is dubbed the libel capital of the world, because it’s much easier to prove “contentious information” there than it is to win a libel suit in the United States.

There has been much scrutiny lately around Spears, 24, especially regarding her marriage and parenting skills. After admitting to being an emotional wreck during a television interview, let’s hope the girl can keep it together for baby number two on the way.
