So apparently the “painfully pointy” look is appealing to some guys?

Nicole Richie is apparently dating Brody Jenner. You may know Jenner from the short-lived Fox series Princes of Malibu, and if you don’t know him from that you most likely don’t know him at all. But we do know the following about him: He just broke up with Kristin Cavallari (star of Laguna Beach) two weeks ago. He’s decent looking. He seems pretty laid back and he likes to eat. So far, so good.

The couple is seen here yesterday, first shopping together and then later out at the L.A. hotspot Hyde. (Who isn’t at Hyde these days, seriously?)

Check out Us Weekly for more details and pictures of the couple.

I know whenever I’m in a relationship it’s easy to put on pounds. Why? Less time for working out and more time spent going out to eat. We can only hope something similar happens for Nicole.

If Jenner can get Richie back up to a healthy weight he’ll be my new favorite celebrity.

Matt Lauer was recently spotted on the beach in Southhampton, New York frolicking in the surf with his wife, his children (seen here with daughter Romy), and his six-pack. And not the kind of six-pack you bring in a cooler, either.

Matt has been a co-anchor on NBC’s Today show since 1997, probably famous equally for both his hard hitting interviews and the more light-hearted “Where in the World is Matt Lauer?” that airs yearly on Today. This is not the first time Matt has gotten attention for his physical appearance- back in 2002 he turned heads and fueled a lot of jokes by switching his hairstyle from a full head of hair to a buzz cut (an attempt to disguise a receding hairline???) but that situation ended up working out well for him, and I’m sure this one will too.

He’ll never have Mathew McConaughey’s famous beach body (place your vote here) but I have to hand it to the guy- nice work!

When Britney Spears posed, nude and pregnant on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar for August’s issue no one thought much of it other than it was a brave move on Spears part. Now, Tokyo’s subway has refused to display an advertisement featuring heavily pregnant Britney Spears, deeming it “too stimulating” for children.

On the cover, Spears is covering her breasts with her arms and has her legs crossed at the knee, but publishers of the magazine met with resistance when they asked permission to display this photo in Tokyo’s subway. The photograph will also appear on the cover of the Japanese edition of Harper’s Bazaar in October.

An all new Ashlee Simpson was turning heads recently at The World’s Largest Pajama Party hosted by Victoria’s Secret Pink in New York. With blonde curls and the infamous “neither confirmed nor denied” new nose she appeared on a massive two-level stage and performed 5 songs- which at one point included her pole dancing on a street-lamp prop and slapping her own ass. Interesting.

Anyway, the pajama party was apparently quite the spectacle. “We like to do things larger than life” was what Victoria’s Secret Pink spokeswoman Sara Tervo had to say the day before the big event. Everything from pink cotton candy, pink flavored water, pink blankets, plush pink dogs, and pink backpacks were given free to those who stayed the length of the party. They even had “gargantuan polka dotted dogs” hanging out at the front door.

It’s got to be hard succeeding in an industry as ‘Jessica Simpson’s little sister’ and Ashlee seems to honestly need some help. She’s cute enough, with or without the nose job, and can probably compete on her own merits if she could just project some confidence and get comfortable in her own skin.

So Joey Lawrence has taken a cue from Patrick Stewart. Or maybe it’s Michael Chiklis. At any rate, the Woah-ster is now sans-hair. Every girl and probably a number of then-in teenage boys may remember his long, flowing hair. Well it’s no more.

This little promo proves that Lawrence is nothing if not resilient … especially after the whole “sitcom with his brothers” thing. In fact, the last time I remember seeing a Lawrence in a movie was Matthew in “The Hot Chick” … not that I saw that Rob Schneider vehicle, and especially not in theatres.

But it must be good – Joey rolls off three movie roles he’s been offered, all because he’s got a shorn scalp. For now, though, he’s on “Dancing with the Stars.” Could this mean a Blossom reunion? No, thankfully.

Hollywood is about making money. When a big star becomes more talked-about as a crazy person than a sex symbol, he makes a whole lot less money.

So it comes as no suprise that Paramount Pictures has severed ties with Tom Cruise, ending a 14-year relationship with Cruise’s production company. A Paramount rep cited “controversial conduct and behavior over the last year” as the reason for the decision.

Oh come ON. It has nothing to do with his behavior. It has to do with the fact that he doesn’t sell movies anymore, and that’s it. Plenty of movie stars are out drinking underage, having affairs, partying and openly using drugs… and still being treated like royalty by Paramount and companies like it.

I understand the reasoning. It’s a business. But let’s call it what it is and not pretend Paramount’s grown a conscience.

Since 2002, Oprah Winfrey, 52, has planned to build the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls. Scheduled to be built on 52.7 acres of land south of Johannesburg, Winfrey personally told 73 girls, ages 11 and 12 who had been accepted to the school.

“I grew up with my Grandmother,” Winfrey said at Sunday’s event, “We had almost nothing, but my grandmother believed I had to give back what I received.”

In order to choose the girls that were accepted, Winfrey personally went through many of the 3,000 girls who applied, looking for girls from disadvantaged backgrounds who showed they had leadership abilities and intelligence.

“South Africa is like my second home and I want to give something here. I feel this project is blessed,” said Winfrey.
