Charlize Theron Goes Lingerie Shopping in London


Getting on with post-prison life, VH1 has announced plans for a 10-episode reality show series starring T.I..

Having been granted release from an Arkansas penitentiary earlier today (August 31), the Grammy Award-winning rapper is set to give fans a "behind the scenes look" as he reunites "with his wife and kids and thrust back into society at this crucial juncture in his life."

Now a free man, the series will follow the "Whatever You Like" artist as he works to get back on track and begins recording a new studio album in an effort to return to the music scene.

T.I. served an 11-month stint in the slammer on a weapons violation charge he incurred back in October 2010.

It's been just two weeks since she gave birth to her precious daughter Haven, but Jessica Alba is already getting back into the swing of things.

Preparing for an afternoon meeting, the "Spy Kids" actress - wearing a striped gray top, flowing black dress and gladiator sandals - was spotted at a Los Angeles, California office building earlier today (August 31).

After finishing up her work duties, the 30-year-old met up with her nanny and eldest daughter Honor Marie with the trio popping into a local cafe so that Miss Alba could get a java boost.

Looking return to her fitness routine, as well, Jessica tweeted post-baby progress yesterday, writing, "I did my first day of wrkout since I had the baby, just cardio for 40 min. -it's a start. Anyone else starting a fitness regimen?"

While Miss Alba is ready to get back her pre-pregnancy physique, she say's she's taking it slow, as she added, "My doc told me I could start after 2 wks. - im going light, stationary bike and elliptical."

Keeping herself in tip-top shape with a midweek workout, Vanessa Hudgens stepped out for a yoga class in Studio City, CA on Wednesday (August 31).

The "Beastly" babe dutifully toted her mat under her arm while looking sporty in an all-black fitness ensemble complete with a "Yoga" ballcap.

Seemingly on a health-focused kick at the moment, Miss Hudgens spent the previous afternoon getting a little exercise with little sister Stella.

The two Hudgens ladies took to Fryman Canyon in Los Angeles, where they enjoyed quality bonding while hiking the grounds - though the duo also squeezed in time to satisfy their shopping urges with a stop at Maxine Boutique.

Arriving for another full workday, Blake Lively, Chace Crawford, and Leighton Meester were all spotted on the set of “Gossip Girl” in New York City on Wednesday afternoon (August 31).

The CW stars spent time in their personal trailers before emerging one by one to get more season four filming underway.

The sightings come as Miss Lively is just returned from joining current beau Leonardo DiCaprio in the Land Down Under - where the cute couple enjoyed a wildlife adventure at the Featherdale Wildlife Park.

Marketing manager, Kellie Ames, divulged some details about their visit, as she told E! News, "The pair seemed really happy in each other's company and there was no diva-like behavior from either of them. I think Blake especially enjoyed meeting the dingoes, and the baby wombat was a big hit, too.

Ames added, "[Leo] asked about our endangered animals, and we made sure to feed the Tasmanian devil while they were there."

As she continues to make her mark on Hollywood, Lily Collins recently opened to the October 2011 issue of ASOS magazine about her latest happenings.

The ASOS cover gig comes as the 22-year-old beauty stars alongside “Twilight” hunk Taylor Lautner in the upcoming film “Abduction,” which hits theaters on September 23.

Of filming the action/drama flick, Collins told the mag, “I never thought in a million years I’d be doing stunts, flying off trains, setting people on fire, running through swamps at night, but it’s fun and I love taking chances.”

Meanwhile, Lily is currently filming a new take on the classic tale “Snow White” - of which she mentioned, “It is so surreal. Everyone calls me ‘Snow’ on-set and I’m working with Julia Roberts.”

Keeping up on her near-perfect figure, Alessandra Ambrosio was spotted leaving an early morning Pilates class on Wednesday (August 31).

The Victoria’s Secret bombshell looked cute in her workout wear as she followed up her sweat session by popping into a local Santa Monica coffee shop for a java pick-me-up.

As for the brunette beauty's well-known employer, one of Ambrosio’s VS co-workers who has posed for the lingerie line twice now raved about the gig - saying that she's still hoping for the coveted job as an Angel like Alessandra someday.

Sara Sampaio told WWD, “Fingers crossed. They pay so, so well. That’s a money job you want. Those girls don’t need to do any other jobs. They’re set. But I also want to do high fashion. I want to have a balance.”

On location in Atlanta, Georgia to get started on her first-ever movie role, Whitney Port was hard at work on the set of "What to Expect When You're Expecting" on Tuesday (August 30).

Clad in a white robe and knee-high metallic boots, the former "Hills" hottie readied herself for the day's filming as she sipped on her refreshing iced coffee drink.

Having just finally confirmed her involvement in the Kirk Jones directed comedy, a source told Us Weekly this of her role: "She is playing herself. She will be in one scene with one line. She isn't a big part of the movie. [NBA player] Dwyane Wade is also in that scene playing himself."

Looking to be a blockbuster flick, the movie also features a bevy of A-list celebs including Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Joe Manganiello, Matthew Morrison, Elizabeth Banks, Brooklyn Decker, Dennis Quaid and Cheryl Cole.

Welcoming her first child to the world, Alyssa Milano gave birth to a baby boy on Wednesday (August 31) at 9:27AM.

With husband David Bugliari by her side, the former “Who’s the Boss” star delivered their surely adorable son - who weighed in at 7lbs and was 19 inches long.

The couple, who married back in 2009, ended up naming their bundle of joy Milo Thomas Bugliari.

In May, the soon-to-be-mommy told People about her trips to the doctor, as she dished, “Everytime I get an ultrasound, he’s doing really funny things like sucking his thumb or elbowing me.”

She certainly knows how to make an entrance, and Beyonce Knowles had all eyes on her at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards tonight (August 28).

The “Crazy in Love” songstress brought her fashion A-game as she posed inside the Nokia Theatre LA Live to prepare for her big performance, but the BIG news is the confirmation that she's expecting her first child with Jay-Z!

Quite the exciting time for Beyonce, the gorgeous singer's baby news comes shortly after she released her music video for “1+1” from her latest album 4.

Additionally, coming up on October 8th, Knowles will join in via satellite for the Michael Jackson tribute concert at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

With another year's show come and gone, the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards offered up plenty of action while honoring the best in the music business.

Having made their love for one another official on Saturday (August 27), Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars' wedding day pictures offer a glimpse of the newlyweds partaking in their cherishing moment.

The couple tied the knot at the historic Palazzo Margherita in Bernalda, Italy, with the "Lost In Translation" director looking stunning in a lavender Azzedine Alaia gown while being walked down the aisle by her famous father, Francis Ford Coppola.

As for the ceremony, it was officiated by Bernalda's mayor, Leonardo Chiruzzi, who told press after the festivities, "Everything went well. It was simple, calm, in the garden."

Just one day prior to exchanging vows, Sofia and Thomas were all about relaxation - as they spent the afternoon lounging on the sandy Italian beaches with their darling daughters, Romy, 4½, and Cosima, 15 months.

Making the most of her time in Italy, Bar Refaeli was spotted sunning herself in a stunning blue bikini yesterday afternoon (August 28).

The Israeli supermodel pranced around the Kauris III luxury yacht off the coast of Portofino while eager paparazzi snapped up pictures.

Bar bathed in the sea and played volleyball along with some friends who had come along for the ride (and the view!).

During her Mediterranean tour, Ms. Refaeli has been keeping her Twitter followers up-to-date on her festivities, including “belly dancing in Greece or at least trying to.”

She's one of the many east coasters dealing with the effects of Hurricane Irene, and Bethenny Frankel seemingly let the major storm system get the best of her.

Unable to sleep through the nasty conditions, the Skinnygirl mogul began her Twitter tear at 3AM by writing, "I can't sleep. So nervous. The wind is so loud outside.what's the update?tv will wake everyone."

An hour later, Miss Frankel disregarded her sleeping husband and baby, as she continued, "I can't believe how scary this is.now watching the news with my jaw dropped.more&more evacuations&more state of emergencies. Brace yourselves NEW YORK.Irene is on her way now."

The "Bethenny Ever After" star's anxiety reached its peak at around 7:30AM, as she tweeted, "We just lost electricity.this b**ch is coming.jason is oblivious.3 naps yesterday,slept all night,no prep.hurricane bethenny also here."

In the following hours, Bethenny posted a series of photos including one of herself looking quite unkempt along with numerous shots from her home and neighborhood, with her latest message reading, "I wanted to wash&dry my hair yesterday &jason thought I was nuts.now the new hairstyle is hurricane bethenny.jen aniston is so jealous."

Along with Frankel, numerous fellow celebs were active on Twitter while sending well-wishes and personal experiences via Twitter. A few of the many postings are as follows:

Ivanka Trump Majors wind and big waves in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. How are you faring through #Irene? Be safe! #hurricane

Nick Jonas So much hype about #Irene will be interesting to see this all plays out. Everyone stay safe.

Kourtney Kardashian More powerful prayers for the east coast. Don't forget how powerful prayer can be!

Adam Lambert East coasters: stay safe and smart while this storm rolls in. :) in my thoughts.

Looking to boost the English economy, Charlize Theron was spotted shopping on Kings Road in Southwest London yesterday (August 30).

The “Monster” actress hid behind a pair of oversized sunglasses as she headed into a Calvin Klein lingerie store where she picked up a few new items.

In the flick, Theron plays a 30-something slacker who travels back to her hometown after she learns her childhood boyfriend is about to have a baby. “Young adult hits theaters on December 16th.
