Wearing a slightly transparent dress, rapper Eve shows off the
other 2 prominent features on her chest at last night's MAC
Gold Fever party at Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Arts.
The party celebrated the first night of Australia's Fashion Week and featured a performance by Danni Minogue, Kylie's younger sister, who entertained some of the performers still sticking around Sydney after Saturday's MTV Australia Awards, including Ms. Eve, a spokesmodel for the cosmetic giant and
Juliette Lewis, who's just cool.
The rapper, who is performing a gig on Friday night at in Sydney, admitted she had a panic attack on the long flight to Australia, but it's not because she watched 'Final Destination' before getting on the plane.
She confessed that, 'Yeah, I was having a little panic attack. Getting up on stage in a
different country always makes you as nervous as you are excited.'
I don't know about you, but I'd be more nervous about not wearing a bra with that dress.

Former 'Full House' star Mary-Kate Olsen, looking like she'd pretty much want to be anywhere else, posed on the red carpet at a Chanel-sponsored dinner held at Ago in the Greenwich Hotel to honor the Tribeca Film Festival’s Artist Program.
The 21-year-old actress kept it simple and classic, dressed from head-to-toe in black. If she didn't look so...umm...
odd, I'd say she looked pretty good.
Mary-Kate's latest project, the pothead comedy 'The Wackness' is one of the 120 features from 31 countries that will be shown at the two-week-long festival. Although Mary-Kate isn't starring in the film, she's gotten a lot of publicity for a scene in which she locks lips with 64-year-old 'Ghandi' star, Ben Kingsley.
At a Q&A for the flick, Ben said that Mary-Kate is a great role model for her generation. An entrepreneurial role model, sure, but any other kind of role model, no way. I think
someone may have been smoking the props on the movie set.

I think the smartest thing Kitson has ever done was call
Victoria Beckham on the carpet for not promoting her dVb jeans at the popular LA boutique. Now
every celebrity with a fashion collection is dropping by for promotions and keeping Kitson in the news. Marketing brilliance.
Add Paris Hilton to the growing list of celebs hawking their wares at Kitson. The heiress popped in for a promotional visit to boost sales of
her clothing and perfume lines. The 'Simple Life' star was mobbed by photographers and fans as she made her way into the store.
I'm surprised she arrived sans her 'inseparable' beau, Benji Madden. The couple, who recently celebrated their two-month anniversary, want to make sure you know their relationship isn't a publicity stunt.
A source close to the couple said, 'Benji is serious about Paris and he has discussed marriage plans with his brother.' Joel has even referred to her as his 'sister-in-law.'
And we all know how much we
love our in-laws, now don't we?

Well, although she looks a bit older than her 21 years - all of that partying has definitely taken its toll - Lindsay Lohan looks good here, in a MILF sort of way.
Lindsay, along with a 'who's who' of reality TV - 'Hills' stars Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt (of course) and Lauren Conrad, 'Laguna Beach' star Kristen Cavallari and Tila Tequila - was on hand for last night's launch party for LG's new Scarlet flat screen TVs
at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood.
Lindsay, when not attached to Samantha Ronson, is showing her ethical side by signing on as the face of the Visa Swap Shop in London's Covent Garden. The store encourages people to swap their designer duds for points placed on special Visa card that can be used to purchase other donated items.
If Lindsay has actually taken part in the program, British consumers are going to have a whole lot of leggings to choose from.

Yes, I'll admit I've
had some fun at the expense of 'Grey's Anatomy' star/top contender for Julia Roberts' 'Queen of the Rom-Com' crown, Katherine Heigl, but I'm big enough to admit that she looks quite radiant in these shots taken on the set of her new movie, 'The Ugly Truth.'
Of course, there's still one pretty downright ugly thing about the 29-year-old actress and that's her addiction to the ciggies. She spent every shooting break getting her nicotine on.
Smoking causes really nasty wrinkles and yellow fingers - and bad breath. Don't do such a disservice to Gerard Butler.

California's 'Governator', Arnold Schwarzenegger, doesn't want you to forget that he's a celebrity - especially because he's only got a few years left on his second term in office.
Ah-nuld spent his Saturday cruising around Beverly Hills in his Rolls-Royce convertible, puffing on his cigar with his oldest daughter, 18-year-old Katherine Eunice in the passenger seat. The pair managed to squeeze in a little shopping at Barney's New York during their afternoon joyride.
It's rumored that Arnold may run for the US Senate in 2010, but somehow I think he might be missing his movie star lifestyle just a little bit.
Besides, aren't Rolls-Royces not very environmentally friendly? And don't get me started on the pollution created by that nasty cigar.

Despite the copious tattoos and rock-star demeanor, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker is one dedicated Dad. He spent his Saturday entertaining his kids with ex Shanna Moakler, 4-year-old son Landon and 2-year-old daughter Alabama in Malibu.
The happy family played at the park at Malibu's Country Mart and then stopped for lunch at Howdy's Mexican restaurant.
Travis recently confessed to
People magazine that he's 'obsessed' with his kids, saying, 'I have my kids every Friday through Monday, and I don't leave them the whole time I have them. I stay with them the entire, entire time. I don't go out to lunch with a friend and leave them with anybody else.'
The rocker admitted he has an 'up and down' relationship with the mother of his kids but says it's a 'work in progress' and that they 'absolutely, absolutely, absolutely love each other.' When asked if a reconciliation was possible, Travis said he 'didn't think so.'
This coming from a guy who had a hit with 'Stay Together for the Kids.'

Fresh from his globe-trotting tour to promote the blockbuster 'Iron Man,' Robert Downey Jr. - wearing a sharp suit with matching sneakers - heads to New York's Waverly Inn
restaurant on Saturday to dine with the film's director, Jon Favreau, who's been 'money' since starring in and directing the cult hit 'Swingers.'
The 43-year-old actor, who has been in his share of trouble, is not the first person you think of when you think of a super hero, but no one else has the real-life experience to make millionaire arms dealer Tony Stark - who creates an ass-kicking, crime-fighting persona in order to redeem himself - a truly believable character.
Even Robert knew no one could play 'redemption' quite like he could, and admitted to the
LA Times, 'Much to my surprise, I really didn't fit any of the criteria for the kind of actor they thought they should cast.'
We'll see if the casting gamble paid off, as 'Iron Man' hits theaters on Friday. I think 'money' will be back in Jon Favreau's vocabulary once again.

A jammie-clad Hugh Jackman bid a fond adieu to his wife, Deborra Lee-Furness as she left the family home in Sydney for a business trip yesterday morning. Of course the kids, Oscar and Ava, were also up bright and early to kiss their Mommy goodbye.
Hugh, whose distinctive sideburns indicate that he's still working on the super hero saga 'Wolverine,' takes a walk on the dark side with his role in the new thriller, 'Deception,' which opened in theaters this past Friday.
The actor, who also produced the film through his Aussie-based production company, Seed, enjoyed the chance to play the bad guy. He told Australia's
Herald Sun, 'It's a universal law. Every actor wants to play the bad guy and I really, really enjoyed it.'
He continued by saying, 'The worst thing you can do as an actor is judge your character. And let's face it, my job is being a conman.'
Cutest con man ever.

Haylie Duff joined her sister Hilary and her hockey-playing beau Mike Comrie for an afternoon shopping expedition in New York's Meatpacking district on Sunday.
The trio stopped into Scoop and emerged with loads of shopping bags - and Mike doesn't completely look like he's having a miserable time. I'm sure he'd rather be beating men with hockey sticks on the ice, but still....
You ladies know how it goes, date a guy who can't really dress himself, wait a few months, and then give his wardrobe a complete makeover. Recruiting a friend and/or sibling to assist you is always helpful.
Of course, poor Mike probably had to hold two purses while he was in the boutique.
