Some things just aren’t possible in a dress this tight. When Kim Kardashian couldn’t bend over to pick up her own purse, luckily there was some helpful gentleman around to do it for her.

The reality vixen squeezed into a skin tight number to host The Bravada International launch party at The Whisper Lounge in Los Angeles last week — and boy did she look stunning. Unfortunately, in a dress like this the practical stuff — like walking, sitting, and exiting automobiles without showing the world your unmentionables — becomes about as challenging as an Olympic sport.

The Price of Beauty!

Wino’s boobies are busted again. Jazz songstress Amy Winehouse was hospitalized in London last Thursday night after reportedly experiencing additional problems following her 2009 breast augmentation.

The “Back to Black” hitmaker fell ill after complaining of chest pains, and was kept in overnight while doctors carried out a battery of tests on her bust, according to England’s The Sun.

“Amy was in agony and became convinced it was something to do with her boobs. She thought she would leave it for a while but the pain got worse. She went into the clinic on Thursday and they kept her under observation. She is waiting for a decision on whether the implants have to come out or not. Amy loves her curves and would hate to have to have them taken out. She is still her bubbly self but she is worried.”

This isn’t the first time Amy has been treated for complications from her breast implants. She was also hospitalized last November, when the contraptions reportedly began leaking. The singer is now said to be waiting for doctors to decide whether or not she needs to have the implants removed.

Thousands of Polish citizens are mourning the loss of their president, Lech Kaczynski, and 96 other people who died Saturday, after a jet carrying the political leader, his wife, and much of his delegation clipped some trees and hit the ground bursting into flames in a devastating crash that Poles are calling the nation’s worst tragedy since World War II.

Jesse James isn’t the only married celebrity biker romantically-linked to tattooed temptress Michelle “Bombshell” McGee.

The woman who ignited a tabloid frenzy when she confessed to an 11-month sexual affair with the husband of Oscar winner Sandra Bullock last month, also had a fling with the spouse of another noted celebrity: Carey Hart, the motorcross racer wed to pop-rock queen Pink.

In an interview with RadarOnline.com published Saturday, the homewrecker’s ex-husband Shane Modica spilled the beans on the deets of Michelle’s affair with Hart.

Modica — who is seeking custody of his son with Bombshell — blabs that his ex had sex with Carey several times shortly after meeting him at the ASR (Action Sports Retailer) convention in San Diego in September 2008. At the time, Carey was separated from Pink, who he reconciled with in 2009.

“I knew about her fling with Carey Hart, Michelle told me that she had slept with him. She flew out to Las Vegas to see him but she was upset that they never got to spend as much time together as she expected too.”

Shane also claims Carey visited Michelle at a San Diego strip club to watch her perform, but the fling quickly fizzled out after a few hookups at a private home Carey was renting

“This was before her time with Jesse James. It is so typical of Michelle because she always goes for the guy who she thinks… can help her out.”

Are JT and JB dunzo?

After three years of dating on-off, crooner Justin Timberlake and actress Jessica Biel have officially called time on their union, celebrity snitches say. The pair have consistently grown apart throughout the past few months and has decided to call it quits, England’s Sunday Mirror dished this morning.

Too bad — we liked them together!

“Justin truly thought he’d found the one in Jessica and she felt the same, but the relationship just didn’t seem to go anywhere,” a tattle said of the showbiz couple, who have been dogged by suggestions that their union was close to the breaking point for some time.

Insiders say hectic work schedules also contributed to Justin and Jessica demise. Justin is currently filming the upcoming comedy Bad Teacher with his ex-girlfriend Cameron Diaz, while Jessica is busy working on the new dramatic biopic Mob Girl, which she will produce.

“They’ve both been working incredibly hard and will remain friendly – but there’s no more romance. It was mutual and they agreed it was best to part ways if things weren’t going to head towards marriage and kids,” the tipster added. “They are both incredibly busy. They both knew things were going to end for ages – it was just a matter of when.”

Julia Sugarbaker has gone away to the Great Interior Design Studio in the Sky……Actress Dixie Carter, who played an outspoken liberal on the ’80s sitcom Designing Women and in recent years received an Emmy nomination for a guest role on Desperate Housewives, has died. She was 70.

No info on the details about the time, place, and cause of Dixie’s passing over the weekend, but her husband of 25 years describes the loss as devastating.

“This has been a terrible blow to our family,” actor Hal Holbrook, 85, told Entertainment Tonight on Saturday. “We would appreciate everyone understanding that this is a private family tragedy.”

Designing Women ran on CBS for seven seasons after debuting in 1986. The hit show — which featured Delta Burke and Meshach Taylor, and tackled tough issues like ageism, AIDS, and body image — revolved around the lives of four women and a man at an interior design firm in Atlanta. The Tennessee-born actress portrayed the tough-tongued Julia Sugarbaker, an advocate of liberal causes and women’s rights. Holbrook appeared on the show regularly in the late 1980s as Carter’s on-screen boyfriend, Reese Watson.

She also appeared on the final season of the 1980s sitcom Diff’rent Strokes. In 2007, Carter received an Emmy nomination for her guest role as the devious mother-in-law of Bree Hodge on ABC’s Desperate Housewives.

It seems Star Magazine was on to something when they reported that the cast of Jersey Shore wasn’t exactly being welcomed with open arms in The Sunshine State.

The second season of the MTV breakout hit will kick things off in the tourist hotspot of South Miami before the crew heads back to their old stomping ground in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, but according to tipsters for The New York Post and RadarOnline, many local establishments are none too pleased about the arrival of “gym, tan, laundry” and have declared M.I.A. a “Fist Pump Free Zone.”

“No one wants them to tape here,” a source blabbed to The Post on Saturday. “They went to the W Hotel the other night and got rejected. They were also refused by the Delano, Shore Club and the Mondrian.”

Another spy added, “Mike Sorrentino and ‘Pauly D’ DelVecchio pulled up in a black Escalade with New York plates at 9:30 Thursday morning blasting house music and parking in a 30-minute loading space in front of David’s Cafe. Dozens of locals were standing in line for their morning coffees . . . prompting them to roll their eyes and whisper to each other, ‘When do they leave?’”

Word is a number of hot spots are denying the group entry because they don’t want to be associated with the brawls that often follow them. A insider tells RadarOnline.com: “A lot of places don’t want the cast in their clubs and restaurants because they don’t have the best reputation and they’re concerned about fights breaking out.”

There’s been a lot of hype about Tiger Woods’ new Nike ad, featuring a voiceover of his late father, Earl. While some critics find the spot and its soundbite from the elder Woods distasteful, the folks at FunnyOrDie.com have decided to poke fun at the ad’s irony in this knee-slapping parody.

Garcelle Beauvais is one MILF you don’t want to mess with!

The former NYPD Blue star says she is “healing” and focusing on her three sons hours after the star lit up cyberspace with reports that she blasted her alleged lothario husband for infidelity in an email to the prestigious Hollywood agent’s co-workers.

Let this be a lesson to the unfaithful spouses of the world: Screw over the wrong person and your sweaty roll in the hay with the babysitter might become a trending topic on Twitter.

“….I found out today that MY husband of almost 9 yrs has been having an affair for 5 yrs with some slut in Chicago. I am devastated!!!! And I have been duped!! Our boys don’t deserve this!” the TV stunner spat in a mass email to Mr. Nilon’s colleagues.

Beauvais-Nilon has since opted for the more diplomatic route: “My focus at this time is on my kids and healing the pain. There will be no further comment,” the actress said in a statement issued Friday.

The couple has twin sons Jax Joseph and Jaid Thomas, born October 18, 2007. Garcelle also has an 18-year-old son, Oliver.

Think it’s safe to say Jim Carrey is Team Tiger?

On Friday, the newly-single Grinch star hit his Twitter page where he defended the golfer, who returned to the green this week to compete in The Masters — his first tournament since his infidelity scandal broke, linking the sportsman to at least 17 mistresses.

“Tiger Woods owes nothing [to] anyone but himself. [To] please his father he gave up his childhood and his freedom in the world. That’s enough!” Carrey Tweeted on Friday. “No wife is blind enough to miss that much infidelity. Elin had [to be] a willing participant on the ride [for] whatever reason,” the comedian later added.

On Wednesday, Jim made several other pro-Tiger posts.

“If you really wanna see sexual disfunction get 2 know your favorite basketball star! Curling is the only safe sport 4 a married man!” he wrote.

Jim split from his longtime girlfriend Jenny McCarthy on Monday.

The inhabitants of The Hundred Acre Woods may be getting a new lease on life with whispers that a Winnie The Pooh live action/CGI film (Think Alvin & The Chipmunks) is headed for the big screen. Word is Universal Studios and director Spike Jonze (Where The Wild Things Are) are in negotiations to bring Disney’s classic animated franchise to theaters.

“It’s going to be a darker version… How everything got started in Ashdown Forest,” says an insider.

Jennifer Lopez is busy promoting her latest romantic comedy — The Backup Plan — in which she stars as an eternally single woman who meets the man of her dreams on the same day she gets artifically-inseminated.

The promo tour has brought Jenn to the pages of the May issue of The Advocate, where the singer/actress/dancer chats at length about the new film, some of popular style choices, and sets the rumors “straight” on her sexuality.

(Thanks to Felice for the tip….)

Jennifer On Fashion: “I always wear something that I like, so whether or not other people like it isn’t that important to me. It’s always great when people say you look nice or you were one of the best dressed, but if you take that you have to also take it when they say, “Oh, we didn’t like that.” Either way, I liked it.”

Jennifer On Rumors That She Is Bisexual: “No, I am not bisexual….I’ve never kissed a girl.”

Jennifer’s Gay Best Friend: “Oh, God, I have so many, but my closest is my manager, Benny [Medina]. He’s the godfather to my child, so he’s become a part of my family. We understand each other, we love each other, we have a certain type of chemistry, we have similar work ethics, and we can talk about everything.”

Why Jennifer Enjoys Performing For Gay Men: “It’s the best audience ever. You guys enjoy the music, you get into it, and you’re not afraid to let go and express yourself. That’s what I want from an audience. I recently did a show where the crowd was just standing there, staring at me with their camera phones up, YouTubing me or whatever the heck they do now. I was like, ‘This is crazy! I need vibe!’ I’d so much rather have you guys jumping up and down, waving your arms in the air.”

Dramedy Fans are still in an uproar over the cancellation of Ugly Betty. The ABC series that was groundbreaking for the Latino and homosexual communities will take its final bow in a two-hour finale airing this Wednesday night.

The once-popular campy hit has gained new life in its final episodes: Hilda married Bobby, Ignacio is now happily dating Elena, Justin came out to his family — finally, and even Daniel’s beginning to see Betty in a new light: and fans (That includes me!) are eager to see how things wrap up.

Here’s a sneak peek look at next week’s series finale.

Vanessa Hudgens will play Mimi, an HIV-positive dancer, in a new production of Rent taking center stage at the world-famous Hollywood Bowl this August.

The production marks the stage directorial debut of good-natured entertainer Neil Patrick Harris, who starred in the Los Angeles production of the Tony Award-winning musical in 1997.

On casting the High School Musical alum, NPH says: “She came in for a work session, and I must say, Vanessa really impressed. She looks amazing, has great vocal chops, and seems really committed to honoring the somewhat iconic role of Mimi. I look forward to audiences seeing a dark, edgy, and very different side of Vanessa Hudgens this August.”

The musical runs in Los Angeles from August 6-8.

Outspoken teen star Taylor Momsen — who plays Upper East Sider Jenny Humphrey on The CW’s Gossip Girl — will be noticably absent from the teen soap next season. A source close to the show confirms to Entertainment Weekly Gossip Guy Michael Ausiello that Momsen will be written out of an “unspecified number” of episodes of the show’s upcoming fourth season. Producers call Taylor’s exit “creative” decision, brought on by something “big” that happens in this season’s finale.

Sounds juicy…..

The ink hasn’t even dried on his divorce papers, but James Van Der Beek is already expecting a child with his new girlfriend.

The former Dawson’s Creek star confirmed he and girlfriend Kimberly Brook welcome their first child later this year. James, 33, met Kimberly, a business consultant, last July, according to PEOPLE Magazine.

“Yes, it’s true – the woman I love and I are expecting our first child,” James wrote on his Twitter page Friday afternoon.

In March, Van Der Beek finalized the terms of his divorce with actress Heather McComb. The star has been ordered to pay McComb more than $7,000 a month in spousal support. Their divorce becomes official on June 3.

Mandy Moore is checking into Seattle Grace, TVGuide.com reported Friday. The 25-year-old singer-actress has been tapped to appear as a patient on the two-hour season finale of ABC’s medical drama Grey’s Anatomy. Mandy will play Mary, an ill young woman being treated by Chandra Wilson’s Dr. Bailey, on the May 20 finale.

Brooke Burke is writing the book on motherhood.

On Friday, The New American Library announced that it will publish the Dancing With The Stars co-host’s memoir titled The Naked Mom.

In the book, Burke, 38, will rely her experiences balancing a career in showbusiness with raising four children.

”The book will further establish Brooke’s already impressive track record when it comes to tackling topics in a voice that speaks to moms,” said NAL spokeswoman Kara Welsh. Brooke “will have women everywhere nodding their heads in recognition with her sharp take on modern motherhood,” Walsh adds.

Brooke says: “I am so excited to share my take on motherhood—uncensored, revealing, vulnerable and sexy. From bringing up a blended family, to balancing a career in entertainment, to carpooling in stilettos, I have found my own way to gracefully raise four children by accepting that there is no right or wrong way to approach motherhood. I hope my book will help women celebrate and embrace their own unique selves, guilt-free.”

The Naked Mom arrives in April 2011.
