Mamma mia!

Jamie-Lynn Sigler welcomed a baby boy this afternoon in Los Angeles, her first child with fiancé Cutter Dykstra.

"Everyone is happy and healthy," a rep for the former Sopranos actress told Us Weekly. No other information—such as their son's name—was immediately available.

Sigler, 31, first revealed that she was pregnant in February, two weeks after announcing her engagement to her baseball player boyfriend via a twitpic that showed off her lovely ring.

The actress, who most recently starred in the sitcom Guys With Kids, went the photographic route again when she revealed the baby's sex in March—she had her nails painted baby blue and polish maker Sally Hansen captured the moment for posterity.

Friends including Lea Michele, Lance Bass, JoAnna Garcia Swisher and Beverley Mitchell gathered for a baby shower in Sigler's honor on Aug. 3 at the Thompson Beverly Hills hotel.

The menu for the afternoon soiree, which took place inside Caulfield's Bar and Dining Room, included mimosas (for the guests, not the guest of honor!) and comfort foods like pancakes, fried chicken and cake.

Farrah Abraham Wants You to Buy Her a $1000 Pair of Glitter Heels—Check Out Her Amazon Wishlist

Ralph Notaro / Splash News

Yes, this is really happening.

Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham decided to put together an Amazon wishlist and—wait for it—is asking her fans to purchase the items she has selected. And they're not cheap, either!

Farrah's wishlist includes a $1,489 bookcase, a $100 toaster, a $1089 pair of glitter pumps, a $700 coffee table, a $900 Sherri Hill dress and a dining table worth $1,299, just to name a few. All together (including gift ideas for her daughter Sophia), the 22-year-old is asking for nearly $11,000 worth of stuff.

LOOK: Farrah Abraham seems to be enjoying rehab

In the About Me section, Abraham wrote, "I love clothes, accesorie?s, dresses, heels, kitchen cookware, and who knows some other cool home stuff to decorate, and as always I think about my daughter too when I see something she's gotta have that's a must as well :) Thank you for brighteni?ng my day, and giving me a gift that counts and will always be memorable , Hugs & Lo?ve Farrah Abraham"

There's no clear reason for this list—Farrah's birthday was in May and well, it's a little early to be thinking about Christmas—but maybe the reality star just wanted some help acquiring some essential items, like a chrome scarf holder.

Because clearly, that seven-figure settlement she got for her porn tape with James Deen won't help.

"So call us, text us or tweet us to have a belated birthday bash on our E! set," Jenkins continues.

"We're serious! There'll be cake, balloon animals, Tom will perform 'Kokomo' and we'll even try to get Kristin Dos Santos to stop by."

Did you hear that, Stamos? There'll be cake!

The Full House star celebrated his special day last Monday with none other than his mama. "last few hours being 40 w/ the woman that birthed me. She said conception (in vegas) was so much fun- i said TMI," he shared  with his Twitter followers.

After spending time with family, Stamos hinted that he was heading on vacation in a private airplane.

"Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional," he tweeted as he posed on the runway with a giant "Happy Birthday" balloon.

The celebration continued with a blowout bash on Monday alongside his TV family (so cute!). Bob Saget, Candace Cameron Bure, Ashley Olsen and Lori Loughlin (aka Danny, D.J., Michelle and Aunt Becky) all attended the star-studded Los Angeles event.

We just want to keep the party going. Is that wrong?

DeAnna Pappas ultimately looked for love in exactly the right place.

And now the onetime Bachelorette star is expecting her first child with husband Stephen Stagliano.

"We are so thrilled to finally have the news out! Baby on the way!!!!" Pappas tweeted along with a profile pic of her body that showed off her already prominent baby bump.

"Oh yeah!!! Gonna be a daddy...Yeah. my wife @DeAnnaPappas is even more beautiful pregnant!" Stagliano chimed in, after which he and the missus were flooded with congratulatory tweets, including one from Ali Fedotowsky.

"Just saw your announcement. Amazing!" Pappas' fellow former Bachelorette tweeted tonight.

Pappas also quoted congrats from former Bachelor Jason Mesnick and asked for some tips in return: "@jason_mesnick: So happy for @DeAnnaPappas @StephenStag" thanks buddy! Let the parenting advice begin!!"

Twitter

She and Stagliano (brother of former Bachelorette contestant Michael Stagliano) tied the knot on Oct. 22, 2011, in Georgia. Her big premarital bash in Las Vegas was featured on an episode of Oxygen's My Bachelorette Party.

Pappas was briefly engaged to Jesse Csincsak after accepting his proposal at the end of the fourth season of The Bachelorette. They broke up in 2009 and, just a few months later, she met her future husband at the season-five taping of The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All special.

The expectant mom told People, which first reported the pregnancy news, that her and Stagliano's first child is due Feb. 8—four days after her hubby's birthday.

"I told him all he's getting for his birthday this year is a baby!" Pappas joked.

Congratulations to the parents-to-be!

Bikini Shot of the Day: Irina Shayk Shows Off Her Beautiful Bod in New Swimwear Campaign

Actually, make that bikini shots of the day.

Less than a week after we had the pleasure of seeing Chrissy Teigen flaunt her fabulous figure for Beach Bunny Swimwear's bridal line, along comes Irina Shayk to do the same for the popular bikini line.

And needless to say, the 27-year-old Russian model doesn't disappoint either.

In addition to Teigen, Shayk also follows in the gorgeous footsteps of Kate Upton, who also beautifully showed off the brand's titillating two-pieces recently as well.

Jennifer Hudson's Built-In Knee Pads: Gotta Have It or Make It Stop?

Mauceri/MacFarlane/INFphoto.com

We didn't take Jennifer Hudson for the B-Boy type, but in these patched-up pants she looks ready to do a knee spin or two.

We've seen motorcycle pants, printed jeans, and even pants with an entire skirt attached, but bottoms featuring built-in knee pads may be a fashion first. Were these designed by a dancer? Or maybe a gardener? Or is there actually a chance that JHud popped two holes in her knees and needed a quick patch?

VIDEO: See Jennifer OMG! VMA moment with Daft Punk!

If so, we wish she'd gone with a different color. Something about the blue stands out in the wrong way against these slick black slacks. It almost takes the chic look down a notch—though little can ruin a JHud outfit these days on account of her top notch bod. 

In the end we're afraid we can only approve of this attire if it is in fact designed for an immediate dance break. Otherwise these bottoms get relegated to our, "make it stop," files. Agree or disagree?

Michael Douglas Yachting, Planning to Attend Film Festival in France in Wake of Separation From Catherine Zeta-Jones

CIAO/AKM-GSI

Michael Douglas is carrying on across the pond.

A few days before he and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones revealed via their reps that they were "taking some time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage," the actor enjoyed time aboard a yacht off the coast of Sardinia while vacationing with friends in Europe.

Douglas took to the water on Sunday; was in Nice, France, yesterday for dinner at La Petite Maison; and at some point he'll be flying north to attend the Deauville American Film Festival, which kicks off Friday with a screening of Behind the Candelabra.

A rep for the fest confirmed to E! News that Douglas, who scored an Emmy nomination for his portrayal of Liberace, and director Stephen Soderbergh (but no Matt Damon) are scheduled to be there to represent the film.

PHOTOS: Surprising celebrity splits

Anthony Taafe/Coleman-Rayner

Oddly enough, he and Zeta-Jones were first introduced in 1998 at that event, where, Zeta-Jones later told Parade magazine, Douglas immediately informed her, "I want to father your children."

They tied the knot on Nov. 18, 2000, and have two kids together, 13-year-old son Dylan and 10-year-old daughter Carys.

Sources have told E! News that Douglas and Zeta-Jones, who were last photographed together at the 40th Chaplin Award gala in NYC on April 22, have otherwise been leading separate lives for the past 18 months.

"Michael has not been happy for a long time. They grew apart," one insider tells us. "He is a fantastic father and his kids are his main concern...He wants Catherine to be happy, but they have been struggling for a long time."

"Her issues and his cancer have been very stressful for the pair of them," the source added. "Their friends are shocked. None of them ever thought Michael would leave her."

Zeta-Jones has remained at their home in Bedford, N.Y., while Douglas—who initially moved into a converted barn on a friend's property in Bedford—has lately been living at their Central Park West residence in Manhattan.

Jessica Szohr & Ed Westwick Back On? Gossip Girl Costars Spotted Grocery Shopping Together

Dean/NPG.com

Either Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr decided to get back together or they're just playing nice.

The on-again, off-again couple, who was currently broken up as far as their relationship status was concerned, was spotted grocery shopping together at a Whole Foods market in West Hollywood on Sunday.

However, the Gossip Girl costars made sure to play coy, and never presented an opportunity to be photographed together, walking in and out within minutes of each other.

Sneaky.

PHOTOS: Ed Westwick's best looks on Gossip Girl

Each celeb was dressed super cazh for their errand outing.

Westwick wore light denim jeans with a baseball cap and black T-shirt that said "This is Beckham range" as he pushed a full cart of groceries. Meanwhile, Szohr, who was snacking on some watermelon, looked hipster-chic in a ripped dark gray shirt with boyfriend jeans, a straw hat and large Louis Vuitton handbag.

Additionally, a source tells E! News that the duo was eating sandwiches together at Jersey Mike's in West Hollywood on Friday.

The couple, who began dating in 2008, broke up in early 2010. Reports then claimed they were back on after being spotted all over Chicago for Lollapalooza "definitely acting like a couple" later that year, however they never confirmed being exclusive again. Additionally, Westwick dished on being a single man in June 2012.

Keira Knightley Is All Smiles While Stepping Out in London Sans Husband James Righton

XPOSUREPHOTOS.COM

Keira Knightley is enjoying a night on the town.

The 28-year-old actress recently stepped out in London for a night out with pals sans hubby James Righton.

The Brit beauty was all smiles while arriving at local pub The Royal Oak. Knightley was dressed casually in ballet flats, black tights, black skirt and a black and white blouse tied at her stomach. She completed her simple look with a chic black Chanel bag.

Knightley headed into the pub with a male friend on crutches and was later seen hopping into the back of a car to head home. Although her hubby wasn't in tow, she seemed happy during the casual night out.

Knightley and Righton married in the South of France back in early May. Close family and friends watched as they tied the knot in a private 10-minute long ceremony.

Fashion Face-off: Taylor Swift vs. Rihanna in Long-Sleeved LBD's

Michael Stewart/WireImage; ROBERT ROSANO/startraksphoto.com

It's a strange day in fashion history when Taylor Swift is wearing the same thing as Rihanna.

We typically see the "Trouble" singer in something much more glam and the Diamonds World Tour headliner in something much more insane, but this time their wardrobe worlds collided in something that feels like a stretch for both their styles.

VIDEO: See what happened when One Direction faced Taylor Swift for the first time since her Harry Styles split!

RiRi's Balmain mini is borderline boring in comparison to what we've seen the "Stay" singer in lately. It doesn't have sheer panels, fatigue print or her name all over it! That said it is insanely short and somewhat see-through, so at least her edge is still mostly intact.

Tay-Tay goes for that same edgy VMA's moment in this equally tight take, but her plunging V neckline isn't plunging enough, nor is that skirt quite as mini. 

If this is a battle of who looks better, our answer is Taylor. But the question is who looks hotter, there is no question in our book. What's your say?

Tyra Banks Rocks a Bikini in the Caribbean—See the Pic!

TRB/FAMEFLYNET

Looking fierce, Tyra Banks!

The 39-year-old stunner was spotted Sunday on a vacation with a group of pals in the Caribbean, where she was snapped showing off her trim figure in a printed two-piece on the beach.

Banks looked fabulous in a low-cut gray swimsuit top with gold detailing, opting to keep her curves under wraps with a patterned sarong while proving she still knows how to work a bikini better than the rest.

She wore minimal makeup as she strolled in the sand with her long hair down, book and water bottle in hand, before relaxing on a lounge chair and treating herself to a tropical cocktail.

PHOTO: Tyra Banks steps out without makeup

The former Victoria's Secret angel and host of the popular reality competition series America's Next Top Model recently opened up about the pressure to be pin-thin in Hollywood, recalling the moment she realized a few curves wouldn't kill her career.

"I don't believe in diets," she told Us Weekly at Wednesday's screening of the upcoming cycle of her reality show.

"To me, it's like, I lost weight a couple of years ago and that just changed the way I ate, it changed the way I thought," she explained. "I actually got too thin because I have tunnel vision. So when they said this is what you have to do, I was too strict, and I realized I needed to cheat way more because it didn't look good. I didn't realize I was too thin until I started seeing pictures and I thought, 'Oh, I don't like that. That doesn't look good.' I need some ass."

NEWS: Tyra Banks and more celebs who have revealed their weight

But that doesn't mean there aren't parts of her body she'd still prefer to change.

"I have too much cellulite right now," she confessed. "The shape is fine, but, honey, I have on stockings! I can't do short skirts without stockings anymore, so I don't like that."

Whatever you say, girl. We think you look great!

What ever happened to a good ol' fashioned smile on the red carpet? Apparently, that's just not enough for George Clooney.

The Oscar-winner is busy attending the Venice International Film Festival and it appears the actor is doing a whole lot more than flashing his pearling whites.

While promoting his new movie with Sandra Bullock titled Gravity, the 52-year-old hunk appeared to be having a blast on and off the carpet.

As he walked hand-in-hand with his sexy costar, the actor provided quite the show for photographers as he laughed at jokes, mugged at the photogs and even asked one person to wait one minute.

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton Escape Miley Cyrus VMAs Drama With Beach Vacation

Dasha/FAMEFLYNET PICTURES

It's time to escape!

Robin Thicke took his wife, Paula Patton, and their son, Julian, on a beach getaway amid the flurry of MTV VMA reactions over his performance with Miley Cyrus.

The music man and his beautiful family were spotted stepping out of the ocean in Miami after a day of playing in the waves.

Robin made sure to keep his shirt on while Paula looked sensational in a brown string bikini. What a bod!

Paula helped the couple's little one play in the ocean and carried him towards the sand towards the end of the day.

NEWS: Stars react to Miley Cyrus' VMAs performance

It looks like a little rest and relaxation was precisely what the doctor ordered for the media-frenzied singer.

Despite his mother being less than thrilled with his duet of "Blurred Lines" with the former Disney starlet, it appears that his wife was much more comfortable.

Gloria Loring, opened up to OMG! Insider about what she thought of the scantily clad, ultra-suggestive number.

"I don't understand what Miley Cyrus is trying to do," she said. "I just keep thinking of her mother and father watching this. I was not expecting her to be putting her butt that close to my son. The problem is, now I can never unsee it."

Meanwhile, Paula was reportedly not as bothered by the whole ordeal.

According to TMZ, the stunning actress knew from the get-go that things were going to get heated onstage and wasn't surprised at all by Cyrus' crotch-grabbing and groping.

Then again, she did let him prance around with a few naked models in his rather explicit "Blurred Lines" music video.

Either way, there's nothing like some quality family time!

Inside Catherine Zeta-Jones' Solo Life: Riding Horses, Spending Time With Mom in the Suburbs While Michael Douglas Stays in Manhattan

Anthony Taafe/Coleman-Rayner

You never know what's going on behind the candelabra.

Though Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas only revealed today that they are "taking some time apart" to work on their marriage, they may have been living separately since as early as last year.

Douglas left their Bedford, N.Y., estate 18 months ago for a bachelor pad a few miles away and now spends the majority of his time at their Central Park West home in Manhattan, N.Y., E! News has learned.

"He loves it there, it's where most of his friends are, and he can go about his business in privacy," says a source. "It's not [Zeta-Jones'] bipolar episodes that have driven them apart, it's just happened naturally. They like different things. He likes the city, he only moved [to the suburbs] for her, as she loves horses and playing golf."

PHOTOS: Big celebrity breakups

In fact, Zeta-Jones was spotted Aug. 6 at a local stable and driving around in her Porsche SUV with her mother, Pat.

"Apart from riding and playing golf, she's quite happy hanging around the house or going shopping," the insider continues. "She spent a fortune in the local Pier One last month and has even visited TJ Maxx."

The source added that, while Zeta-Jones has "a few friends in the village," she's never spotted out with other celebrities who live in the area, such as Glenn Close, Martha Stewart, Susan Sarandon and Richard Gere. "She keeps to herself," the source says. "She'll only ever be seen browsing in the bric-a-brac stores, clothing boutiques or at Sunnyfield Farm. She even gets someone in to do her nails and hair so she doesn't have to go outdoors."

But when she does interact with her neighbors, the insider added, "she's always very pleasant to people."

Anthony Taafe/Coleman-Rayner; Louis Garcia/DPA/ZUMAPRESS.com

Douglas, who's been spied at the local movie theater with Gere before, will "walk around town in a baseball cap and no one will disturb him. He's well-liked in the community," the source says.

He and Zeta-Jones have two children together, 13-year-old son Dylan and 10-year-old daughter Carys.

"They're like chalk and cheese," our source says of the estranged couple. "The only thing that really bonds them is their love for the kids. But even then, they do it separately."

"Michael will spend a lot of time with Dylan playing sports" and "Catherine dotes on daughter Carys. They often go shopping together in the local stores like Bubble and Treat, or go riding together. She's got a horse at Sunnyfield Farm, along with her daughter who's into [riding] as much as" her mother is.

Stefanie Keenan/Getty Images for GREY GOOSE

As for the bachelor pad Douglas had been staying in, it was a converted barn (converted into a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, that is) situated off the main road on the grounds of a pal's $15 million estate.

But some acquaintances of the couple insist that they are "definitely still a couple" and recently attended a local fundraiser together for a cancer charity Douglas supports. They were last photographed together in April at the 40th Chaplin Award gala at NYC's Lincoln Center.

"There seems no obvious reason to get divorced," a source says. "They both get to do what they want privately."

Catherine Zeta-Jones & Michael Douglas Split, But Here Are 7 Couples Who Reconciled After Breaking Up

Stefanie Keenan/Getty Images for GREY GOOSE

It was a disappointing day for all of the hopeless romantics.

E! News has learned that after 13 years of marriage, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have decided that they're going their separate ways, but those who still believe true love is possible in Hollywood still have hope for these two, since their statement hinted that this split may not be set in stone.

"Catherine and Michael are taking some time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage," a rep for the actress said.

OK, maybe we're just being optimistic, but then again, these seven celeb couples reunited after calling it quits and it seemed to work out.

PHOTOS: More surprising celebrity splits

Ameri/SBMF/FAMEFLYNET PICTURES

1. Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko: The Nashville actress made it very clear that her on-again, off-again relationship with the Ukranian boxer is definitely on, but these two might be in it for the long haul this time. After ending their two-year relationship in May 2011 and then reconciling in January 2013, reports surfaced claiming that the duo were secretly engaged and planning a wedding. The actress, however, continues to play things coy, as she's remained tight-tipped about whether she'll be heading down the aisle.

2. Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth: Happily ever afters aren't just the reserve of the movies. They're for movie stars as well. The singer and her fiancé are one example of that after announcing their engagement after three years of sometimes-dating. It seemed as though work kept getting in the way of the two, young lovebirds, but eventually, they decided to give their relationship another go. And although the couple have faced a bit of shakiness lately, sources reassure that the duo believe in working out their problems and the wedding is still on.

3. Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel: No need to cry these two a river. Though the couple have been dating since 2007, their romance hasn't always been as smooth as Justin's moves, and they've been plagued with rumors of on-and-off coupling nearly since they stepped out as a twosome. Sadly, the rumor came true in March 2011 when the couple split—but not for good. Biel kept a low profile and Timberlake turned romantic, declaring his then-former better half to be "the most significant person in my life" in an aww-inducing interview with Vanity Fair. Cut to September 2011, when the duo was back on with a vengeance, leading to Justin popping the question to Jessica over the Christmas holiday. In October 2012, the couple tied the knot in Italy.

4. Prince William & Kate Middleton: Speaking of fairy-tale endings, their courtship was not only scrutinized by the world, but earned the Duchess of Cambridge the rather unflattering nickname of "Waity Katie." The sparks of their romance first ignited as undergrads at St. Andrews University, and kept going strong right up until, well, they weren't. In 2007, after five years together, the couple temporarily parted ways in an amicable split after engagement rumors reached a fever pitch. Maybe they were just the impetus the royal bachelor needed, because the couple soon got back together, and the rest, as they say, is history. Rather well-documented history, at that.

5. Pink & Carey Hart: To quote the singer herself, sometimes, things just work out f--kin' perfect. Like with Pink and Carey Hart, who broke hearts (including their own) back in 2008, when they separated after two years of marriage. But as luck (or fate?) would have it, they never actually divorced...a development which made it oh so much easier on everyone when they reunited the following year. Of course, even when they were apart, they weren't that apart, as Pink helped her then-estranged hubby through the death of his brother, and he even turned up in a music video for his wife during their split. And all's well that ends well, particularly this love story, which ended with the birth of their daughter Willow.

6. Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green: The new parents may be reveling in married and baby bliss right now, but the domestic duo wasn't always perfectly in sync. Back in 2009, the good-looking lovebirds reportedly called off their very long engagement, only to rekindle their relationship and betrothal less than a month later. However, the second time around didn't stick any better than the first, and a month after that, Fox declared herself "single" to reporters. But whatever their differences, they ultimately worked them out, with the duo finally making it down the aisle in June 2010.

7. Nick Lachey & Vanessa Lachey: This couple is in it for the long haul, but it wasn't always smooth sailing. In 2006, after four years of dating, Jessica Simpson's ex called it quits with the then-named Vanessa Minnillo. The exes released a statement declaring the split amicable and emphasizing that they still cared for each other—and it wasn't just PR spin. It wasn't long before the duo found their way back to each other, announcing their engagement the following year. As for their happily ever after: they're currently married and are in love with their baby boy, Camden.

Scandal Scoop: Lisa Kudrow Joins Up for Recurring Role on Season 3

Earl Mcgehee/WireImage

Scandal is adding a Friend-ly face.

Lisa Kudrow is joining the drama series' upcoming third season in a mysterious recurring role, ABC confirms to E! News.

According to Deadline, who first reported the casting, Kudrow will play a politician in the Kerry Washington-led show. Other details of her role are under wraps at the moment, but this guest arc will mark the actress' first return to network TV since that little-known comedy Friends went off the air in 2004.

Kudrow's recent small screen work includes the criminally short-lived HBO comedy The Comeback, and she can now be seen in her improv series Web Therapy on Showtime.

VIDEO: The Scandal cast votes to break Twitter with the season three premiere!

Scandal star Dan Bucatinsky, who received an Emmy nomination for his recurring role as Cyrus' (Jeff Perry) husband, is also Kudrow's long-time producing partner. He recently talked to us about the "heart-pounding" new season.

"Scandal is going to start the season just moments after we left Olivia Pope last season, moments after the car door opens," Bucatinsky said. "We were all very excited to see that, 'Oh we're going to keep going!' We're excited to get to the excitement of understanding the relationship between Olivia and her dad. [We can't wait to find out] who leaked the information that Olivia was the mistress of the president and putting out that fire and all of the crazy. To me, it feels like a crack in the boat. And that there's more and more cracks in the boat."

No word yet on whether Kudrow's character name will be Regina Phalange.

Scandal returns on Thursday, Oct. 3 on ABC.

Beauty Police: Gabrielle Union Rocks Siren Soft Curls and a Coral Lip at Venice Film Festival

Venturelli/WireImage

There is nothing prettier than a smooth blowout with soft loose curls – except when accompanied by a retro black-lined eye and on-trend coral lip.  Gabrielle Union must have made every head turn at the Miu Miu Women's Tale premiere at the 70th Venice International Film Festival yesterday when she showed off those glossy tresses.

Gabrielle's lustrous locks stole the show with her retro side part and cascading curls. But, what made this look such a standout was that her hair was so healthy and shiny, the camera flashes makes her tresses look practically illuminated.

It also didn't hurt that Ms. Union wore classically pretty makeup to complete this retro look. A black-lined eye is universally flattering regardless of eye, skin, or hair color. While the coral lip may not work on every skin tone, it looks beyond amazing on brunettes and women with olive and darker skin tones.

Get the Look: Since styling sirens are her specialty, we asked Nicole Giannini, Owner and Creative Director of Siren Salon in the San Francisco Bay Area to help us achieve Gabrielle's gorgeous look at home:

Plug in your 1 or 1.5 inch curling iron and have 7 duckbill clips ready. Apply a pea-size drop of a shine cream like Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream as a foundation on the ends, and then thoroughly spray hair from the roots to mid-length with a thermal protective bodybuilding spray like Oribe Maximista. 

Then use a large or medium barrel round brush to do a simple blow dry, aiming for smoothness. Once hair is dry, prepare to curl!  

Starting from the back of the side part, take a large section from the crown to the mid-front hairline (it would look like a triangle if you were looking down at the top of your head) and brush all of that hair forward, holding the section straight up from the forehead. Spray section with a heat-activated shine spray like Oribe Soft Lacquer Heat Styling Spray. Curl that whole section back from the face, and clip in place as a rolled pin curl to cool.

Work your way around the head in the same fashion, pivoting from the crown and curling the hair. Spraying each section of hair with Oribe Soft Lacquer Heat Styling Spray will give your curls amazing hold, memory, bounce and shine.  When you're finished curling, let the pin curls sit until they're cool.  

Once curls are fully cooled, remove the clips and brush hair into place with a bristle brush.  Finish with a light anti-humidity hairspray like Oribe Imperméable Anti-Humidity Spray.

MORE BEAUTY POLICE: Tips to steal some celeb looks...and avoid others!

To get Gabrielle's makeup look, use a soft black eyeliner pencil like Votre Vu Le Joli Crayon in Charbon to line the upper lash line, making the line thicker as you get towards the outer corners of your eyes. If your eyes are not sensitive, then line the inner waterline of your eyes. Finish eyes by applying 2-3 coats of your favorite mascara.

To copy Gabrielle's coral pucker, first use a feather-proof skin-colored lip pencil like Bite Beauty Contour Lip Liner in Nutmeg to line and fill-in the entire lip area. (Filling in the entire lip area will ensure your lip color lasts longer and will show off maximum pigment)

Then, apply one coat of a glossy longwearing coral lipstick like STILA Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Carina. Blot with a tissue and apply a second coat to ensure longevity.

We can't wait to try this look at home for our next special event.  Who are we kidding? Like we have black-tie events in our future… We're going to rock this look at the BBQs this weekend. There is no such thing as being overdressed when it comes to hair and makeup!

Best of Summer: 7 Biggest Box Office Bombs

Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer, Inc, Sony Pictures, 20th Century Fox

Theatergoers had tons of options to choose from this summer.

From third installments of action pics to comedies starring longtime pals, there was surely something for everyone to see and enjoy.

But while there were a few surprises thrown into the mix this film season, the amount of flops seemed to stack up.

Here's a look at this summer's biggest box office bombs:

2012 - Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer, Inc

1. The Lone Ranger: The  Johnny Depp-Armie Hammer adventure cost a whopping $200 million-something to make but only garnered $175 million in the box office.

Columbia Pictures

2. After Earth: Not even adorable father-son duo Will and Jaden Smith could save this action-packed joyride. The film opened up on the No. 3 spot its opening weekend.

NEWS: What you should know about Lee Daniels' The Butler

Twentieth Century Fox

3. The Internship: The slapstick comedy from some of our favorites, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, couldn't quite get off its feet in theaters. The film earned only around $64 million worldwide.

Summit Entertainment

4. Red 2: Even all the star power—Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Catherine Zeta-Jonas—couldn't keep this sequel afloat. While the first film did tremendously well for the studios, the second installment only took in $57 million worldwide.

Sony Pictures

5. White House Down: The star-studded cast seemed promising, as did the chilling storyline. But the Channing Tatum film only earned $117 million in global box office bucks—which is technically considered flop-worthy.

NEWS: 5 Reasons The Wolverine really rips it up

Lionsgate

6. Tyler Perry Presents Peeples: The Kerry Washington flick opened up to dismal sales at $4.9 million, almost tying with the Mark Wahlberg's latest movie Pain & Gain.

Universal Studios

7. RIPD: Ryan Reynolds made his return to the big screen after taking a slight break to enjoy newlywed life with Blake Lively, but his hunky ways weren't enough to salvage the action thriller. The film cost the studios $130 million to make, but only raked in $49 million in ticket sales.

Police conducted a traffic stop and pulled him over in the vicinity of Coldwater Canyon and the 101. Mr. Odom was identified by his California driver's license and was administered a field sobriety test. He was unable to perform the field sobriety test then subsequently said "no" when the officer asked him to do a chemical test.

A source told E! News today that "Khloé and the family are urging Lamar to seek treatment."

Lamar Odom was released from jail at 8:33 a.m. this morning on $15,000 bond. A mug shot will not be released.

A source also tells us of Lamar's DUI arrest, "Hopefully this will be his wake up call."

Was Teresa Giudice Event Designed to Raise Money for Legal Defense Fund? No, Insists Real Housewives of New Jersey Star

Bobby Bank/WireImage.com

Teresa Giudice and husband Joe may be dealing with legal troubles, but the Real Housewives of New Jersey star insists an event held on Thursday was not an attempt to raise money for their defense fund.

"Tonight's appearance at Maliblue is just a meet & greet w/ fans," Teresa tweeted upon learning of the rumors. "I just heard that some of the workers there wanted to support me and that is very sweet & I appreciate it, but if anyone wants to support me, please do it by donating to a charity I love: @NephCure. Xx."

The speculation apparently derived from a press release that reportedly stated that the event was designed "to help pay any fines or other restitution that Teresa and Joe are ordered to pay."

NEWS: Melissa and Joe Gorga talk Giudices' legal woes

Later, the catering company handling the event tried to clear up the confusion by tweeting, "Our apologies to @teresaguidice about the media & press."

Last month, the Giudices were charged in a conspiracy to defraud lenders and illegally obtain mortgages and other loans as well as allegedly hiding assets and income during a bankruptcy case.

At the couple's most recent court appearance on Aug. 14, they pleaded not guilty to fraud charges. Their next court date is scheduled for Oct. 8

If convicted, each spouse could face a maximum prison sentence of 20 to 30 years, and Joe, who is not a citizen of the United States, could also be deported back to Italy.

James Franco Goes Creepy as Emma Roberts' Soccer Coach in Palo Alto Trailer—Watch!

James Franco's going back to his roots.

The trailer for Palo Alto, based on the actor's collection of short stories, is online (via Vulture) and finds Franco starring as a soccer coach who initiates a relationship—and quite possibly a lot of trouble—with youngster Emma Roberts.

"I'm older and I know that there aren't a lot of good things around and I know that you are really good," the 35-year-old actor's creepy character, Mr. B, tells his much-younger star player in the brief teaser.

NEWS: James Franco wants you to fund his indie film Palo Alto Stories

Beyond Mr. B's creepy come-on to his team's striker, there's more to the tale than that. The film also follows a bunch of high school boys "looking for trouble," as a title card notes, apparently by doing whippets and committing other teenage mischief.

The film, adapted and directed by Gia Coppola—yes, the 25-year-old granddaughter of Francis Ford Coppola—feels like a tribute to her filmmaking aunt, Sofia Coppola, with its lilting musical score and montage of fresh-faced young people living out privileged lives in this wealthy suburb.

WATCH: James Franco' Roast sneek peek

Val Kilmer shows up as a teacher, possibly not as bad a one as Franco's character—though he does go to the trouble of rewriting Roberts' character's paper—as does Gia's great aunt, Talia Shire, in an unspecified role. Playing one of the teens in the ensemble, by the way, is Kilmer's 18-year-old son Jack, who bears a close resemblance to the Top Gunner.

Palo Alto is scheduled to premiere at the Telluride Film Festival this weekend. No word yet on a general release.

Shailene Woodley Dishes on Making Toothpaste, Foraging Food & More of Her "Alternative" Lifestyle Practices

Dimitrios Kambouris/WireImage

Forget five star restaurants!

Shailene Woodley is perfectly happy to find her next meal at the—wait for it—farm.

That's right, the Divergent star recently opened up to Flaunt magazine about her remarkably un-Hollywood approach to life, and we're pretty sure her all-natural lifestyle will have a few of you feeling guilty about your last meal.

"I think everything about my lifestyle is fairly alternative," Woodley revealed. "I gather my own spring water from mountains every month. I go to a farm to get my food."

So much for delivery! 

NEWS: Get a better look at Shailene Woodley's short haircut

And don't expect the 21-year-old to rely on a fancy chef to whip up her organic goods into a healthy meal for her. On the contrary, the Golden Globe nominated actress is very hands-on when it comes to stocking her home with all the essentials.

"I make everything from my own toothpaste to my own body lotions and face oils. I could go on for hours," she says. "I make my own medicines; I don't get those from doctors. I make my own cheese and forage wild foods and identify wild plants."

Normally, we'd be surprised to learn that a star with so many projects and red carpet commitments would have that much time on her hands, but the low-key Woodley has been known to hit premieres with no makeup and wet hair.

And we're guessing her new short ‘do has probably helped her cut down on her red carpet prep time, too.

But time consuming or not, we're guessing Woodley will stick to her alternative practices.

"It's an entire lifestyle," she said. "It's appealing to my soul."

Lamar Odom Urged by Khloé Kardashian Odom, Family to Seek Treatment Following DUI Arrest

Courtesy of Tryst Nightclub

Khloé Kardashian Odom wants Lamar Odom to get better.

In the wake of the 33-year-old athlete's DUI arrest on Friday, Aug. 30, a source tells E! News exclusively "Khloé and the family are urging Lamar to seek treatment." (A rep for the Kardashians could not be reached for comment.)

The 29-year-old E! star has been focused on "getting Lamar better," a source says, but is hoping Friday's arrest "will be his wake-up call."

"Khloé has been trying so, so hard to keep him from hitting a bottom like this," adds the source. "But if this is what needed to happen, then this is what needed to happen."

NEWS: Lamar Odom arrested for DUI

Everyone in the Kardashian/Jenner clan is pulling for Lamar, but a source says Khloé only recently told the family about her husband's substance abuse struggles. And despite persistent but untrue rumors of a Khloé and Lamar split, a source says "everyone in the family feels divorce should be the last option."

Kim Kardashian was admittedly "shocked" to learn of her brother-in-law's drug problem, says a source, but she "would like to see [Lamar and Khloé] work it out...She knows how much they love each other."

Chris Brown Talks Negative Image, New Music on Today

Chris Brown is slowly but surely getting back to business—he just isn't saying much about it. After suffering a seizure during a recording session earlier this month, the 24-year-old "Fine China" singer appeared on Today's Friday, August 30, broadcast. "I'm good, I'm good," Brown said, referring to his recent seizure. "Just needed some rest. That's it."

Brown was then reminded of a previous Today interview where he vowed to promote positivity. As cohost Matt Lauer pointed out, "Some of the social media messages you've been sending out recently have been on the negative side. What's going on?"

NEWS: Chris cleared in hit-and-run case

"Uh, it's not my music," Brown explained, clearly not wanting to address his ongoing legal troubles. Changing the subject, he told the crowd, "I love my fans."

Virginia Sherwood/NBC

Asked about rumors of retirement, the Virginia native replied, "I'm just putting out the music right now. As far as how I work, I'm always going to continue to work for my fans and make sure they have fun." In early August, Brown tweeted that his upcoming album, X, will "probably be my last album." He has since deleted that tweet.

PHOTOS: Look back on Chris and Rihanna's romance

Brown also said his "God-given talent" and his "fans" inspire him to keep making music. "All my fans make me who I am," he explained.

The singer-songwriter did not address his community service requirements, nor did he mention being cleared in a hit-and-run case on Aug. 15.

Alicia Keys Debuts Shorter Haircut, Blunt Bangs—See the Pic!

ABC/Ida Mae Astute

Last time we checked Alicia Keys was rocking an angular bob, so it was a complete surprise when the singer popped up on Good Morning America this a.m. with a pixie cut and blunt bangs!

The new 'do is dramatically different from her previous chin-length style and from some angles it even seemed to have a bowl cut effect. She paired her new hairstyle with a black halter-top (with sexy see-through midriff-section) and high-waist pink pants and performed several of her hits including a duet with Maxwell. 

PHOTOS: Star hair color changes

ABC/Ida Mae Astute

Of course, we already know short hair is the biggest beauty trend of 2013. With stars such as Beyoncé, Coco Rocha and Rihanna most recently chopping off their locks. But Alicia is the first celeb to combine the trend with fringe.

That being said, she comes in second when it comes to debuting bangs this week. Hayden Panettiere was first, showing off a similar fringe style on Wednesday. Could this mean blunt bangs be in for fall?
