hey kids! tonight is the third season finale of one of my top guilty faux reality pleasures the hills and i was invited to head over to a beverly hills mansion to catch all the finale festivities plus i should be getting a drop of interview time in with a few of the cast members as they stroll down the red carpet (don’t worry i promise to be oh so nice to heidi montag & spencer pratt if i have to…but my fingers will be crossed behind my back - ha) i’m also meeting up with ms. vera from i’m not obsessed who has been one of my good bloggers pals for quite some time now - it’ll be great to finally meet her in person! below is a clip from tonight’s episode (it looks like audrina will be moving out…) no worries for all you ‘hills’ addicts out there - it has been confirmed there will indeed be a fourth season! when i get home tonight i’ll update this post with a few quick thoughts about the night’s events - i’m hoping it will be a blast (i even have a new t-shirt for the occasion!) popbytes over & out for now…xxoo


I normally don’t post pictures from the runway, but I got a few requests to post some photos from Australian Fashion Week, so here’s the Flamingo Sands swimwear Summer 08/09 collection. Lots of skinny models wearing bikinis!
Note: There is a poll within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post’s poll.
20 more pictures from the Flamingo Sands swimwear collection after the jump!
oh my word - this is my second completely random celebrity sighting in boston (the first was adam levine from maroon 5) i was having a light lunch at cafeteria on newbury street while on break from the design conference - and this tall woman walks in and i’m thinking to myself she kind of looks like brazilian supermodel gisele b
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took their children Zahara and Pax for a stroll on a very rocky beach near Bono’s home in the South of France (along with U2’s The Edge). As they walked along, Angelina got tired and had to take a rest, and little Zahara helped her get back up. How cute!
What amazes me is that, even if she is heavily pregnant, Angelina still likes to carry Zahara in her arms!

hey hey! i’m rushing around like a crazy person trying to get myself together for my 6am flight tomorrow to boston where i’ll be attending the HOW design conference until next wednesday and since my brother lives in bean town we’ll get to hang out a bit! right now i’ve got a brand new coldplay video (that features dancing politicians - i actually think it’s quite brilliant - you must watch it) featuring the first single violet hill off the band’s upcoming fourth studio album viva la vida (produced by brian eno) which releases on june 17th (i love the cover with delacroix’s ‘liberty leading the people’ painting) right before the boys kick off a north american tour - i’m very bummed there’s no los angeles date planned yet - i’d love to see ‘em play live - i have a thing for sexy lead singer chris martin - wifey gwyneth paltrow should totally watch her back! i’ll admit that when the band first came together in 1998 i wasn’t a huge fan but they’ve grown on me hardcore through the years (you can pick up the title track now on itunes - it’s great) ok time for me to get back to my travel preparations - popbytes over & out for tonight…


Here’s yet another tabloid cover about “stars with cellulite”. The National Enquirer published some new bikini pictures of celebrities showing off their dimpled thighs and legs - Mischa Barton, Janice Dickinson, Cindy Crawford and Ellen DeGeneres. I know the one on the left with the “Guess who?” caption is Phoebe Price, but does anyone know who’s the one on the bottom right?

good evening y’all! even though it’s getting late in the day - happy mother’s day to all you lovely moms out there - of course i sent my own mom a nice gift but unfortunately i mailed it out a bit late (ummm…like this past friday) so it won’t get there until tomorrow - gosh when it comes to mailing stuff i’m the worst! this weekend american idol’s most sensible judge simon cowell took his dear mum julie (who looks like a delightful older lady at around age 83) out to lunch at the ivy on robertson blvd which i should probably do next time my mom makes it out to los angeles (of course my dad is welcome too) i’ve never been and i’d love to try their famous crab cakes (although the restaurant seems more about having your picture snapped than the food…) as for ‘idol’ we’re now down to the final three - in less than two weeks we’ll be voting for the winner - i’m still in camp david cook - nothing can sway me now! i fear david archuleta (who annoys me to no end with his whole ‘i’m so sweet’ vibe) will probably win the idol title but i’m going to be voting like a fiend for mr. cook! popbytes over & out for tonight…xxoo

Here are some candid pictures of Shauna Sand (former Playboy model and Lorenzo Lamas‘ ex-wife) frolicking on the beach in a tiny red bikini last Thursday (April 24, 2008) in Miami.
There probably are people who think she’s attractive, but I personally find her rather grotesque with those huge breasts and skeletal body!

UPDATE! oh my goodness…i just got back from attending the church of alicia keys and she totally blew me away! although the bass was a bit overpowering at times - i thought she did an exceptional job - when she was playing piano i was in heaven - she did a few songs w/o the piano but she shines best with her trusty piano at her fingertips - i’m so freakin’ glad i decided to go - she’s the total real deal! popbytes over & out for now…xxoo
hey hey! although i don’t really feel like heading out on a monday night - it is ‘cinco de mayo’ AND alicia keys is playing downtown at staples center - so how could i resist?!? i’ve been a huge fan of ms. keys for a few years now so it’ll be a treat to finally hear & see her play live (plus i have a very decent seat) i’m sure she’ll be putting on a kick-ass show (jordin sparks and ne-yo are opening for her) i’ll try and update this post with a few quick thoughts when i get home later this evening - popbytes over & out for now…xxoo (btw i have been trying to cut down on my use of exclamation points - i was getting out of control with ‘em and they can be kind annoying especially when used all the time)


Halle Berry, who gave birth less to her first child, daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry, less than two months ago, is already back into shape! Here are some pictures of her looking great at the Celebrity Golf Classic event held at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles last Sunday (April 27, 2008).
