Jennifer Aniston At The 2012 Directors Guild Of America Awards

Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston chose a safe and predictable little black dress by Dolce & Gabbana for the Directors Guild of America Awards on Saturday night.   She has great legs and should rightly show them off, but I find this look kind of ho-hum.

More photos of Jen on the red carpet after the jump.

Melanie Brown Spills: The Spice Girls Are Reuniting In Honor Of Queen Elizabeth

Melanie Brown

 Melanie Brown has revealed that she and her Spice Girls sisters are planning to reunite in honor of Queen Elizabeth‘s Diamond Jubilee.

Brown spilled the news during a TV appearance in Australia.  When asked to confirm rumors that the girls are performing at the 2012 Olympics opening ceremonies in London, she said:

“I think the Queen’s Jubilee concert is the event I’d be looking at more closely for that to happen. I’m always down for a Spice Girls reunion.  I love the Scary hair and platforms. Any time of day or night I’ll be there.”

Backstage, she reportedly told the TV crew that she had revealed too much.

“I am going to be in such strife for saying that. It’s all so totally bloody top-secret still.”

Whoops.  Well, you can’t unring a bell, so all we can do at this point is look forward to the show.

The year-long celebration marks the monarch’s 60 years on the throne of England. Although there are events scheduled throughout 2012, most of the festivities will center around the first weekend in June; Elizabeth was crowned Queen on June 2, 1953.

Katy Perry Steps Out In Vegas To Support Friends, Fun & Charity

Katy Perry And Markus Molinari

Katy Perry was among many celebrities partying Friday night at the Mirage in Las Vegas.  The casino was celebrating the grand opening kick-off weekend of its new club, 1 OAK, with a party sponsored by J. Molinari jewelry.   Katy was on hand to help her BFF, designer Markus Molinari host the shindig.

And since you’ve got a bunch of folks with money together in one room, why not raise some money for a good cause while you’re at it?  The event was also a benefit for GiveLove, an organization founded by Rosetta Getty and Patricia Arquette.  GiveLove supports the development of community-led sanitation projects in Haiti.   A very worthy (and necessary) cause!

This was Katy’s first red carpet appearance since the news broke about her divorce from Russell Brand.  She sure doesn’t look like she’s letting that bring her down!   Get more pictures after the jump.

Kellie Pickler Teams Up With ASPCA To Celebrate… Cats!

 Kellie Pickler

Country singer and American Idol alum Kellie Pickler has a pet cause, and I do mean that quite literally.  She and designer Geren Ford have created a cat sweater to raise funds for the ASPCA.   The oatmeal heather sweater features an illustration of a cat playing a banjo.  Cheesy?  Maybe, but it’s pretty cute, and hey – it’s for the animals!

Pickler unveiled the sweater in New York on Tuesday, and recently talked to Parade about the project and her own love of kitties.

On her design project:  “I’m no Vera Wang, that’s for sure, but it’s really cute for a cat sweater. I think there’s a stereotype for women who love cats. We get called crazy cat ladies, so this is hopefully going to break that!”

On choosing her husband (songwriter Kyle Jacobs) over her feline friends:  “I love cats, but my husband’s severely allergic to them. I had to find a good home for my cat when we got together. I still get a little teary eyed when I think about Pickles.”

Victoria Beckham Is A ‘Numéro’ Uno Cover Girl

Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham is on the cover of Numéro’s Tokyo‘s current edition.   The international publication of art, fashion and design scored the hot mom and fashion designer for their issue #54, the Super-Lady Issue.

The magazine asked Beckham (whose photoshoot is amazing) to describe her fantasy fashion show front row, and this is what she said:

My husband. David has never been to any of my shows as I’m incredibly nervous and I need to focus and concentrate, apart from him Tilda Swinton. She’s so striking and I would love to dress her. She’s incredible looking and I love that she seems so confident in herself she doesn’t feel the need to conform.

Tilda Swinton!  Now that is an unexpected response.  Perhaps there is more depth to Posh Spice than we ever thought!

Vanessa Paradis Shoots Down Rumors Of Split With Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis

Vanessa Paradis is tired of the speculation that she and longtime partner Johnny Depp have ended their relationship.   People claimed last week that the two were “all but officially over,” and earlier this month Radar Online had Depp consulting an attorney to figure out how to deal with custody issues surrounding the couple’s children, Lily Rose (12) and Jack (9).

Paradis appeared on Le Grand Journal on Tuesday to promote her new movie Cafe De Flore, and took the opportunity to address the gossip.  She told host Ariane Massenet that while she’s accustomed to gossip about her relationship, the break-up buzz simply goes too far.

“People say we are buying houses in the middle of nowhere, or that we have fifty-two houses in France. And that is along with saying we split up every winter and get married every summer, and that I’m on my twelfth pregnancy.

All that is not too serious, but this latest one is a rumor, which could cause a lot of harm to my family and my children.”

Host Michel Denisot directly asked her:

“Why don’t you respond to the rumor and put an end to it? Is the rumor false?”

Paradis then firmly stated: “Yes it’s false.  Of course it’s false.”

Well, alrighty then. If you speak French (or just like to listen to folks speaking French), check out the video below and hear Paradis’ denial for yourself.  Her clip starts at about 5:10.

Demi Moore Entering Treatment For ‘Exhaustion’

Demi Moore

Following an emergency trip to the hospital on Monday night, Demi Moore is seeking treatment for exhaustion and stress, says her rep.

People quotes the rep’s statement:

“Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health…She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends.”

TMZ‘s sources say that “professional assistance” actually means “rehab” and “exhaustion and stress” actually means “substance abuse.”  I suppose sufficient substance abuse would, in fact, lead to exhaustion and stress, so perhaps those are perfectly apt euphemisms.

Moore announced she was filing for divorce from her husband Ashton Kutcher in November 2011.

Johnny Depp Is A Creepy Vampire In ‘Dark Shadows’

Johnny Depp

 
Johnny Depp and Tim Burton are teaming up again to for this year’s upcoming Dark Shadows.  The movie is an adaptation of the 1960s TV show of the same name, and focuses on the vampire Barnabas Collins.  He was cursed by a witch and turned into a vampire.  When he escapes his tomb 200 years later, in 1972, he finds his hometown very changed, and his descendants dysfunctional.

You really get a sense of Depp’s character from these recently released stills.   It’s a different type of role for Depp – proving that he can pretty much do anything – and yet it also seems familiar, reminiscent of both Willy Wonka (Charlie & The Chocolate Factory) and The Mad Hatter (Alice In Wonderland)… both also Burton films, by the way.  Oh, and speaking of Burton films, you know who else is in this movie:  Helena Bonham Carter, of course.

Click through for one more still from Dark Shadows.
