Vanessa Hudgens: US Open Tennis Time


Stepping out for a swanky evening, Scarlett Johansson was spotted at the Moet Chandon Event in Shanghai, China last night (September 5).

Sporting a lovely green dress and black peep-toe heels, Ms. Johansson smiled for the cameras at the Peninsula Hotel as she posed with Fanny Shu.

In related news, Scarlett has recorded a remake of the classic song “Bonnie & Clyde,” continuing her foray into the musical side of things.

The “In Good Company” chick teamed up with Lulu Gainsbourg (the son of Serge Gainsbourg, who originally recorded the track) and sings the part once sung by Brigitte Bardot.

Scarlett also appears in a music video for the song, smiling and writhing around with a bunch of bottles of Moet champagne.

The song will appear on the forthcoming tribute album From Gainsbourg to Lulu, due to hit stores in November.

Taking a break from her usual duties, Blake Lively was spotted at the 2011 US Open Tennis Championship Tournament in New York City yesterday (September 5).

The “Gossip Girl” actress watched intently as Serena Williams beat Ana Ivanovic in straight sets at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows.

And Miss Lively wasn’t the only Hollywood hottie in the house to catch all the high-paced action.

Stars like Brooklyn Decker, Vanessa Hudgens, Ciara, and Amanda Seyfried have all been spotted at the US Open over the past few days.

It has been a great week for Lil Wayne, as his new album Tha Carter IV has shattered the record for iTunes downloads.

The “Mrs. Officer” rapper sold 300,000 units in the first four days of release, beating out Kanye West and Jay-Z's record of 290,000 downloads for Watch the Throne.

And that’s just the beginning- Wayne’s album is near 850,000 copies sold overall, making for the biggest first-week sales numbers since his 2008 release Tha Carter III.

Factor in that some of his material was unknowingly leaked onto the internet ahead of time, and it looks like nothing can keep Weezy down!

She may be a big movie star, but that doesn’t mean Lily Collins is willing to pay full price at the register!

The “Abduction” actress was spotted at the Fairfax Flea Market in West Hollywood with her mother on Friday (September 2) looking for some hot deals.

In a recent interview, Lily told press, “I go antique-shopping in the flea markets when I travel with my mom, that’s one of my favorite things to do.”

“I am a vintage shopper and bargain hunter all the way! If you can throw in a piece of couture and then give it back at the end of the day then that is great but I am all about going to the vintage stores and rummaging. I love it!”

Gearing up for some travel, Nicki Minaj was spotted at LAX International Airport in the wee hours of this morning (September 6).

The “Moment for Life” rapper looked a bit camera-shy as she strolled past shutterbugs, sporting a green hairdo to match her green boots, a pink Barbie hat, and a black jacket with printed leggings.

In a recent interview, Nicki confessed that though she’s pretty outspoken and flamboyant in her professional life, she prefers to lie low in her time off.

"In my downtime, I'm the most low-key person in the world," she explained, adding, “We all have insecurities, but you have to know you're beautiful. I'm comfortable in my skin and I don't feel the need to change for anyone."

They’re always on the go, and yesterday (September 5) Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries were spotted arriving at LaGuardia Airport in New York City.

The fabulous newlyweds were both in good spirits as they strolled through the terminal, with Kim donning a beige and white ensemble, while Kris opted for a white t-shirt and black trousers.

In career news, Kim is teaming up with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe to launch The Kardashian Kollection at 700 Sears stores today.

The new line includes apparel, accessories, footwear, jewelry and lingerie, and all three ladies’ distinct styles are represented.

Kim told press, “We are so excited to see our fans’ reactions to the designs,” and Khloe added, “It was really important to us to design looks for girls everywhere, no matter their signature style.”

Adding another year to her charmed life, Pippa Middleton was spotted out and about in London, England today (September 6), her 28th birthday.

The beautiful Brit babe donned a black blazer, white dress, and black boots as she carried her umbrella through the rainy streets.

In related news, photos of Pippa and her family that were taken five years ago have been removed from newspaper-owned websites.

Catherine, Pippa, and James’ boating pictures were taken off the Daily Mirror, Mail on Sunday, and Daily Mail sites after the Middletons complained of breach of privacy.

Welcoming another little one into the world, Guy Ritchie got an early birthday present on Monday (September 5) after his girlfriend gave birth to a son.

The "Sherlock Holmes" director's model partner Jacqui Ainsley delivered a baby boy in a London hospital - five days before Ritchie is set to celebrate his 43rd birthday.

With the couple having first started dating last year, the proud parents have yet to announce the bundle of joy's name.

Guy currently is a father to an 11-year-old son, Rocco, with Madonna, with who he split from in 2008.

With the annual Venice Film Festival in full swing, the cast of “Contagion” hit the red carpet for their film's premiere at Palazzo de Cinema on Saturday night (September 3).

Joining in on the celebration were lovely actress Gwyneth Paltrow, as well as newly-bald actor Matt Damon (who was joined by wife Luciana Barroso), as well as fellow co-star Laurence Fishburne.

For the sci-fi thriller, Damon teamed back up with director Steven Soderbergh - who also directed him in the “Ocean's Eleven” movies starting back in 2001.

“Steven sent me the script with a note that said, ‘Read this and then go wash your hands,’” said Damon, with a laugh. “After seeing this movie in a theater filled with strangers, I’m sure that thought will definitely cross peoples’ minds.”

As for "Contagion," the picture - which hits theaters on September 9th - also stars Jude Law and Kate Winslet while being an "action-thriller centered on the threat posed by a deadly disease and an international team of doctors contracted by the CDC to deal with the outbreak."

Ringing in another year in his rollercoaster life, Charlie Sheen made his way to Buca di Beppo Italian restaurant in Encino, CA for a 46th birthday dinner on Saturday night (September 3).

The former "Two and a Half Men" star was alongside his ex-wife Brooke Mueller, as well as their twin boys Bob and Max, to celebrate his special day with friends and loved ones.

Following the evening meal, a smiling Sheen exited the eatery with son Bob in his arms - with his little one proudly holding a big red balloon with 'Happy Birthday' written on it.

Sounding as if fellow ex Denise Richards was also on-hand, Sheen tweeted after the birthday dinner, "Love you and the girls..!!! Thanks for a great birthday dinner!! Great night! xo c"

The message was in response to an earlier tweet by Miss Richards, as she wrote, "Happy Birthday @charliesheen !!!!!!!!!!!"

Teaming up for a sexy new ad campaign, Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian used their good looks in hopes of selling a little more product.

The E! reality sisters tossed on a little lingerie as they posed for world-renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz for a Kardashian Kollection Sears promotional effort

The photoshoot took place back in May, with Kim writing about the experience on her blog by telling, "What an amazing day! We shot with the living legend herself, Annie Leibovitz! I swear this was such an eye opening day. She shot our Kardashian Kollection for Sears ad campaign!"

The newlywed brunette beauty added, "I can’t give away any details, but we have never been shot like this before and it was soooo fun shooting with Kourtney and Khloe… Mason even made a cameo!"

Meanwhile, Miss Leibovitz was seemingly so taken by the Kardashian sisters that she's hosting a party for the ladies at her New York City studio next week.

She's arguably the biggest pop star on the planet, and Britney Spears was nabbed as the cover girl of the October 2011 issue of Glamour UK.

The "Hold It Against Me" singer posed for a playful spread for the magazine while giving a rare interview in which she talks about her London tour and turning 30-years-old in December.

Set to hit newsstands on Thursday (September 8), highlights from Britney's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit Glamour UK!

On the possibility of Prince William and Kate Middleton attending one of her concerts at O2 arena in London:

"That would be amazing. That would be really crazy and cool. I think they’re a beautiful couple. Unfortunately I didn’t get to watch the wedding but I heard it was beautiful."

On hoping to get more intelligent as time progresses:

"I think the older you get, the wiser you get. I can’t wait. I’m really excited and definitely gonna celebrate and do something spectacular. I’m gonna be in South America so I’ll have to do something pretty fun. A carnival of Britney?’"

As the saying goes - she got it from her momma! Doing some bonding in their bikinis, Audrina Patridge and her mother Lynn were spotted at a Malibu, California beach on Wednesday (August 31).

Enjoying the sunny west coast locale, the pair sported matching teeny teal two pieces as they took to their midweek stroll along the shore with Audrina also tossing on a hot pink swimsuit during the morning romp.

Looking to have recovered from a nasty bee sting on her left foot incurred during a barefoot walk the day before, the fabulously fit mom and daughter duo were all smiles for the impending shutterbugs.

As for what is next on Audrina's agenda? She's heading to Sin City, as she revealed via Twitter, writing, Whose going to Vegas this weekend??!!!.... If so stop by vanity at the hard rock September 3rd!! Xo."

Making the most of the Labor Day holiday, Vanessa Hudgens was spotted at the 2011 US Open in New York City yesterday (September 5).

The “Sucker Punch” cutie sat in her primo seats, just in front of Jason Sudeikis at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and sipped champagne from a Moet glass.

And Vanessa was proud to show off her newly lengthened coif thanks to some hair extensions, a sharp contrast to her “Gimme Shelter” hairdo.

Prior to the change, Hudgens lamented, “Honestly, I kind of feel a bit like a soccer mom, but we're going to let that go. There's nothing wrong with soccer moms, but I'm only 22! I miss my hair believe me, I do. But there's nothing I can do about it.”
