Team Europe was split on Top Chef when my favorite contestant, Fabio, was told to “pack his knives and go” last week. But perhaps the most arrogant contestant ever on the show, Stefan Richter, still thought he was the obvious choice for winner of Top Chef. That over-confidence is what probably led to his demise. He made a great alligator soup when assigned the difficult protein by Hosea Rosenberg. He also made the best dish of the night- squab. However, his watery first dish and boring, easy dessert is what lost him the competition.

Hosea brought out 4 strong courses and took home the title of Top Chef. Carla Hall was definitely in the running until she let her assistant chef make some major decisions that ended up costing her the win. Had she done what she wanted, she probably would have won. It was a lesson learned for all of us…

This was the most boring season yet, with the most boring, under-talented contestants. I was ready for it to be over and so disappointed that they brought those people to two of the best cities in the country- New York and New Orleans. Oh well, congrats to Hosea!

It looks like all is not well at the Cyrus household.� Miley Cyrus’ guy, Justin Gaston is a royal pain in @ss.� Miley needs a new man boyfriend. Maybe one that still lives with HIS parents and is still a kid too.

Ever since her 20-year-old boyfriend, Justin Gaston, moved into the family home in Toluca Lake, Calif., Miley�s been battling with her parents, dad Billy Ray and mom Tish have been quarreling, and even her little brother and sister have been ganging up on her, sources tell Star.

�Miley�s mom and dad bicker non-stop,� a friend of the family reveals. �They thought having Justin in the house would make it easier to keep an eye on him and Miley, but they�re having a hard time because Justin has no boundaries.�

The friend says that Justin – a former underwear model and wannabe singer who insists that he and Miley do not sleep together – walks around the house in nothing but his briefs, angering Billy Ray. And he has a ferocious appetite, so he repeatedly raids the family refrigerator! �Justin recently devoured an entire apple pie that Billy Ray was looking forward to eating when he got home,� says the friend. �Unfortunately, all he found when he got home was the empty tin.�

That�s not the only battle being wages in the Cyrus household. �Billy Ray and Tish are having a tough time managing all the drama that comes with having a teenage superstar for a daughter,� says the friend. �They don�t only fight about Justin. They fight about Miley�s money, Miley�s career and Miley�s increasingly rebellious behavior.�

I have a simple piece of advice, KICK HIM OUT.� That’s what I would do.� He’s an obvious pig who has no respect.� What does Miley see in him anyhow?� Wait, her parents can’t stand him…..that’s the appeal.� typical teen.

Michelle Obama might be the First Lady, but she is first and foremost a mom to her girls Malia and Sasha.� Being the President Obama’s daughters has it’s perks, but they are still girls with rules.� And that’s healthy parenting.

Start with the girls’ chores. They’re still making their own beds, cleaning their rooms and clearing their dishes. And even with their grandmother, Marian Robinson, 71, staying in a third-floor guest room to help out, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, must show responsibility.

Their mother, Michelle Obama, has asked the White House staff not to do too much. “People want to make your life easy, and when you have small kids � I’ve explained this to the staff � they don’t need their lives to be easy. They’re kids,” she says.

The girls do have roaming privileges all around the historic mansion and can pop into the Oval Office whenever they want. “I’ve tried to encourage them to feel like this whole place is their home,” Mrs. Obama tells PEOPLE. “We actually had this conversation � just let us know where you’re going.”

That rocks.� I love how they are handling this.� The girls are kids.�� They need to have as much of the real world stay in their lives as possible.� Making your own bed and clearing your own dishes…I love it.� Plus, the fact that they can walk into the Oval Office whenever they need their dad, PRICELESS.

Recently engaged to Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens was spotted out in West Hollywood.� She and a friend were going to Fred Segal, one of my favorite spots too.� It’s a classic.

This bride to be was sporting some rather short shorts (you have to love Los Angeles in Feb) and texting away on her Blackberry.� I wonder if she was sending love texts to her hottie man, Zac?

We are still waiting on confirmation from Vanessa and her role in New Moon.� Do you think she will get the part?

Former good boy Chris Brown is trying hard to repair his image following his assault on girlfriend Rihanna on February 7th.� Following the advice of his publicist, Michael Sitrick, he attended his first anger management class this week.

NYdailynews.com reported:

“Chris doesn’t actually have to go by law,” a source tells the site, “but he believes it will make him look better to the public, and he wants to try to get in a few classes before March 5″.

Why March 5th?� That’s the day he’s scheduled to be arraigned in court.� Evidently Chris hopes the judge will go easy on him if he’s doing something to better himself?� I don’t buy it, not for a minute.� If he really wanted to deal with his anger issues, he’d do it regardless of his publicist, and he wouldn’t be conspicuous about it either!

Whaaaaa? Who knew Julia Louis-Dreyfus aka Elaine Benes from Seinfeld aka Christine Campbell on The New Adventures of Old Christine had a body like this?� She covers the April 2009 issue of Shape looking a hell of a lot younger than her 48 years.

She tells the magazine how she keeps her amazing figure:

“I have to work at not being fat.� I’m always trying different things to see what sticks.� I feel like I deserve a treat when I work hard,” she says. “It’s important to give yourself a little of what you really want so you don’t feel like you’re in food prison.”

Her favorite temptations?� Chocolate – and bacon.

“I have a chocolate drawer in my desk where I keep treats at all times.� As long as I can have one or two pieces, I’m fine.� [ But] my biggest food vice is bacon.� In fact, I don’t keep bacon in my house — that would be way too tempting.”

You mean if I cut out bacon I’d look this good?� Just kidding.� I might look like that if I ate nothing but celery and air, but that probably wouldn’t even be enough.� Nonetheless, Julia can be an inspiration to all women who are of a certain age – like, any age.� You go, girl!

I think finally all my prayers have been answered. Criss Angel and Holly Madison have broken up. Yes, I still like Criss no matter how gross people say he is. I just had this feeling that Criss and Holly weren’t meant to be. Maybe Holly just really liked that Criss had money?

“She was very much in love with him and they’re still very close friends,” a source [said]. “It was a conflict of schedules. She felt she couldn’t devote 100 percent of her time in Vegas and his career at the expense of her career and her goals.”

I’m sure it had nothing to do with Holly being 29 and Criss being 41. I’m sure Criss is getting ready to settle down now that he is a millionaire and Holly wanted to do more. I’m going to do another happy dance.

Penelope Cruz was so excited when she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress on Sunday night. We all know that she played a great psychotic ex-girlfriend in the movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Sometimes you forget that these stars live for this moment (expected or not) and celebrate. Reports are that Penelope was so excited that she took her Oscar home and slept with it that night!

“When they gave it to me I could not stop crying for 20 minutes. I could not look at it – is it for real, or one of those things my friends gave me or something? This morning I woke up with the same feeling. But I had put the Oscar in my bed, on the other pillow, I looked – and it was there!”

How cute is that? I know that I would probably take a bath with it, sit at the desk with it, never let it out of my sight. I know my acceptance speech would suck though. I would be so nervous that I wouldn’t be able to talk.
