Beyonce Gets Drunk with Mariah Carey and Marc Jacobs

January 2, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Nothing like getting trashed in the presence of Mariah Carey and Marc Jacobs. Wait…maybe that is why she is drinking.

Beyonce was getting her party pants out for the New Year with her friends in St. Barts this week. Jay-Z was also sitting in the shadow of B looking like Steve Urkel’s alter ego, Stefan Urquelle.

I love that B is wearing one of those sweet New Year’s hats. Mimi wasn’t having it because it wasn’t encrusted in pink diamonds and didn’t shoot out glitter.

So this is how classy rich people do it? It’s really not all that different from my party. Replace the fancy glasses with plastic cups and add me trading shirts with my friend’s husband and it’s the same party. I kinda expected them to be swimming kiddie pools of cash and drinking gigantic bottles of Cristal as slaves drop grapes into their mouths.

Taylor Lautner Losing ‘New Moon’ Role

January 1, 2009 By Cara Harrington 52 Comments

My friends over a Gossip Teen have reported new rumblings in the Taylor Lautner VS. Michael Copon for the role of Jacob Black. The “Twilight” sequel is getting off to a rough start. With a change up in the director’s change and rumors (which are complete crap) that Robert Pattinson has a drinking problem, “New Moon” will be a tumultuous project.

Taylor is desperately fighting to keep his role as Bella Swan’s best friend and second love interest, Jacob Black. However, Summit Entertainment is worried that he will not look old enough to carry off the transformation his character undergoes. Rumors that he has been replaced by Michael Copon to better fit the build of a 27 year old man have been running for months. The new director, Christopher Weitz is said to be leaning toward casting Copon as a replacement for Lautner.

Fans have voiced a very strong preference for Taylor. He has a large teen fan base that is a force to be reckoned with. But, as you might recall, when Robert Pattinson was cast as Edward Cullen fans of the “Twilight” saga were disappointed with the choice. Now ol’ Sparklepants is the new tween heroin.

But Lautner isn’t going quietly into the night. He has been packing on muscle and trying to shed his teenage physique. Taylor has had several meetings with Weitz to fight for his role as Jacob.

Ashley Paige to Design for Target

Who doesn’t love Target? It’s like a classier version K-Mart.

Ashley Paige will be showing Target some love. The L.A. based swimwear designer is taking her talent to their bathing suit section. Currently there are two names the line will be labeled. Paige is considering either “Ashley Paige for Target” or “Bikini Love.” Of course the line will hit stores before this summer. You will enjoy 11 choices that capture Ashley’s style.

WWD Confirms:

“[The line] includes at least two in her signature crochet style and one monokini, according to an Ashley Paige spokeswoman. “It is really colorful…[and] is based off of Ashley’s classic pieces.”

Ugh. While I am excited for the summer to return, I am not happy about having to duct tape myself into bikinis. Meh….a little chicken coup wire, glue and a tan and we’re in business.

Jonas Brothers and Taylor Swift New Year’s Performances – Videos

In case you passed out from too much vodka and shots of chocolate cake before you got your Jonas Brothers fix for the New Year, here are their performances.

I was a wee bit disappointed that Joe Jonas shaved his little baby beard.

I love that Ryan Seacrest was being held hostage by a fan as he announced Taylor Swift. He was so uncomfortable as the fan held onto him like he was a Jonas Brother.

Jennifer Garner Still Pregnant

January 1, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

It must have been a regular checkup or a false alarm yesterday as Ben Affleck escorted his wife, Jennifer Garner, into the hospital. Rumors that they are welcoming a baby boy any day now have everyone anxiously awaiting the arrival.

Garner was photographed with their gorgeous daughter, Violet, indulging in a shopping trip later yesterday afternoon. They hit up Williams Sonoma in Santa Monica.

It’s unfair how pretty that family is. Add a basset hound named Wilmer and you have the world’s most sickenly sweet family. The Jolie-Pitt family should take notes.
