Allure magazine has pulled out all the stops in this May 2009 issue. Why not let women strip down naked to sell more magazines. The economy is tough you have to do what you can to sell, sell, sell. I admit though they look amazing. I don’t think I could pose naked for anyone!

And besides seeing Chelsea Handler, Padma Lakshmi and Eliza Dushku naked the magazine features quotes from women and how they feel comfortable with their nakedness…

Chelsea: “My boobs are good. They’re real and perky.”

Padma: “I tend to sleep in the nude… I’m a sensual-leaning woman. You have to use the word ‘leaning’ or it sounds like I’m boasting.”

Eliza: “I’ll strip down to my underwear and my Ugg boots when I eat lunch in my trailer.”

I am sure there will be many man picking up this issue just to look at all the women featured in the magazine.

Just after Kelly Killeron Bensimon declared a truce between she and arch rival Bethenny Frankel earlier this month, it looks like the two are back at it again. (Check out details from the first fight here.) Kelly spoke to Harpar’s Bazaar about her Real Housewives of New York co-star, and didn’t have anything nice to say:

“All she does is sit there and cry all the time. I’m like, ‘You’re crying about guys? And shut up,’” Bensimon says.

“Honestly, if being inauthentic means graduating from Columbia University, writing three books, starting two magazines, bearing two children [daughters Sea, 10, and Teddy, 8], being the ambassador for wool, running a marathon for charity – if that’s inauthentic? Tell me what authentic is.”

As for appearing on the show, Bensimon expresses a few regrets. “One of the worst things about putting yourself out there is exposing yourself to situations you never dreamed would be a reality,” she says.

Well, this should all make Bethenny really excited. Way to go, Kell! Could she be anymore into herself? Geesh!

Oh how wonderful… The Bachelorette starring Canadian, boring, average-looking Jillian Harris has been given an official premiere date- May 18. As usual, the first episode will be a lovely two-hours long.

Though she was third choice for the coveted role (as well as Jason Mesnick‘s third choice), Jillian was still excited about the opportunity. But rumor has it we might see a different Jill when she’s in the lead- insiders have been saying that she’s a manipulative, back-stabbing, knifing, deceitful Bachelorette. I guess she’s trying to trump Jason Mesnick’s loser status.

Speaking of which, no word yet on whether Molly Malaney actually dumped him this weekend. That would be a total shocker!!!

Tim Robbins is a mega talent.  We all know this.  His Oscar is only a bit of the proof of his abilities in Hollywood.  Apparently the Showtime network doesn’t really care about Tim’s acheivements nor his talent.

Tim wrote and directed a pilot Possible Side Effects about a dysfunctional family that runs a major pharmaceutical company.  It’s cast boasts Ellen Burstyn, Josh Lucas, and Tim Blake Nelson. So, what’s with Showtime?  Why are they shooting down good shows.  Matthew Perry’s The End of Steve was amongst the ‘not good enough’ shows that were shown the back door.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are always in the news.  Mostly gossip news, but hey! that’s the best kind , right?  “Real” news is far too depressing.  The most talked about issue these days to Katie and Tom are the baby #2 debates.  I completely understand why Katie would be stalling on having another baby for Tom “transform”.  But, it looks like she might be changing her mind!

Katie Holmes was glowing as she had a late afternoon lunch with her daughter, Suri, at Cristoni Pizzeria in Beverly Hills. While Suri nibbled on pasta bolognese and a slice of cheese pizza, Katie chatted on her cell phone with a friend – and broke some very big news.

“She said, ‘I’ll be pregnant this year for sure,’” Sokol Aliaj, who was sitting next to Katie, tells In Touch. Then she said, “Tom can’t wait!”

Although a rep denies the story, as Tom and Katie prepare for Suri’s third birthday on April 18, they had double reason to celebrate. According to a close source, Katie couldn’t decide if she wanted to focus on her career or her family, but finally came to the conclusion that she was ready to add to their family.

“It’s like a huge weight has been lifted from Katie’s shoulders,” the source says. “She thought she would focus on acting for a few years, but she really loves being a mom.”

If this is all true, I am sure that Tom is on his own version of ‘cloud 9′.  I just hope a second pregnancy doesn’t take the rest of what’s left in Katie away from her.  I always find myself feeling sorry for Katie, kind of like I do when I am at the zoo and I see beautiful birds in cages….,I just want to open the door and let them fly away……

Nicole Richie was out in Hollywood wearing a form fitting dress that showed off that beautiful baby bump of hers quite nicely.  I love her fashion sense!  The girl knows what she’s doing.  It does help that Nicole look amazing no matter what she is wearing.

This sweet momma is on a new mission in preparation for baby #2 that will be here around the beginning of September, what is this mission?  Moving little Harlow out of the nursery and into her big girl room.  This translates into daddy Joel moving out of his office and letting Nicole transform it into Harlow’s princess room.

“Nicole plans to redo Joel’s office in pink and frills,” a source tells OK!. “She’s told him he either has to move to the garage or put his laptop in the kitchen!”

Joel, 30, hates the idea of being kicked out of his office, but knows it’s for a good cause. Says the source, “He’s thrilled to death that they are expecting another baby.”

Of course he’ll get over it!  Either that or they will have to move! And I think they really like their cute, little home.  So, it’s into to the kitchen for Joel.  I can only imagine how cute Harlow’s room will be with Nicole’s rockin’ style!

New Moon has signed on another star for this hot twilight sequel.  Michael Sheen is joining the cast as Aro.  This guy is the head of the Volturi vampire coven and he wants the world think vampires don’t exist.

I think Sheen will do an amazing job.  He’s got a nice resume following him with past flicks such as Frost/Nixon, The Queen, and Underworld.

Nice choice New Moon ‘guys’!  Can’t wait to see the finished product!  Is it November yet?

Madonna just doesn’t seem to get it does she?  After being denied another adoption in Malawi, she threw a party.  That didn’t get her anywhere so, now she is having a family home built there near the girl’s school that is already in the works.

It’s said that Madonna thinks that it would be good for her youngest son David — who is also from Malawi — to have that “connection to his birthplace.”

“Madonna has a big, beautiful plot of land over there already,” a source has said. “She’s planning to build a girl’s school in the Chinkhota village and those designs are well under way.

“But she’s gone back to the designers and asked if they could accommodate a family home on the plot or on adjacent land.”

I guess that Madonna thinks is she plants herself there, the courts might just change their minds?  I don’t know.  But, I do think she thinks her fame and fortune entitle her to get whatever she wants, including her ‘child shopping sprees’.  Do you think Madonna should be allowed to adopt another child?

Hottie hot stuff Matthew McConaughey covers the May 2009 issue of Men’s Journal, looking as rugged and endearingly sincere as always.

Matty shares the advice his father gave him about how to handle getting physical with the ladies:

“If you ever make a move, whether it’s for a kiss or touching her down there, and you feel the slightest bit of resistance, stop. A lot of times, after you stop, they’re going to then say, now it’s OK. Don’t. That time, that day, that’s as far as you go…It’s a great lesson. You do that, and you know what? Women do come back. They say, what? Nobody stops! They want to go out with you again. And eventually you don’t have to stop.”

And you can take it on faith that Matt’s dad knew what he was talking about – Jim McConaughey is the man who died having sex with his wife!

Ellen Degeneres spent her Easter Sunday dressed casually in Los Angeles. I think no matter what Ellen wears it still looks great on her. I wonder where her wife, Portia De Rossi, was?

Ellen has a busy week ahead of her on her show. She has some great guests appearing this week Jenny McCarthy, Zac Efron (probably to talk about his movie coming out on Friday), Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore. It should be cute to see how Ellen and Zac get along.
