Star Spotting: Nicki Minaj Conjures Up The Spirit Of Lisa Turtle

Nicki Minaj looked as cute as usual, albeit unusually covered up at the launch party for the Samsung Infuse 4G For AT&T at Milk Studios on in Hollywood. Although, the horizontal and vertical lines that cross paths between her legs and her heaving bodice are enough to make us a little dizzy, but that's probably the point.

The Harajuku Barbie gave some good face, too, sporting a short, blonde bob and painter's cap that will surely send us down a YouTube rabbit hole searching for clips of "Saved By The Bell." It's not easy to give a sartorial shout-out to Lisa Turtle, but Nicki's zany '90s look definitely brings to mind Bayside High, chocolate shakes at The Max and Principal "Hey, hey, hey, what is going on here?" Belding.

Good luck keeping Slater's filthy paws off this teen queen.

Star Spotting: Britney Spears 'Goes Green' For A Good Cause

Britney Spears stepped out in a lime-green dress to support (along with the rest of the Spears clan) the St Bernard Project, an organization that helps rebuild the lives and homes of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. It's a perfect reminder that almost seven years later, New Orleans continues to need our support.

The event, officially called "An Evening Of Southern Style" (ooh la la, quelle fancy!) featured sweet tea and Louisiana cuisine served directly from the kitchen of Britney's dad, according to Just Jared. Is it wrong that we would pay loads of money to charity just so we could drink sweet tea and see what kind of a chef Mr. Spears is?

Instead, we can both text "BRITNEY" to 864-833 to donate $10 to the St Bernard Project. Do your part, y'all!

Please Note: Justin Bieber-Branded Inhalers Don't Actually Exist

Posted 5/12/11 3:50 pm EST by in Celebrity

And you thought Justin Bieber could only help keep your teeth sparkling? Oh, how wrong you were. Coal Cares, a new initiative spearheaded by the world's largest coal company, Peabody Energy, is providing inhalers to kids with asthma (but only kids who live within 200 miles of a coal plant, according to Gawker).

JKKKKK, you guys. It's a prank. We've been punk'd. It's all an elaborate prank staged by activist group Coal Is Killing Kids in response to Peabody Energy, the world's largest private coal company, which has touted the safety of coal (which is highly contentious and debatable). Again, Coal Cares doesn't exist and neither do Bieber inhalers.

But, really... when you stop to think about it, if a kid wanted to breathe right, why shouldn't he or she be able to do so in the swagger-iest way possible, with an inhaler modeled after The Biebs? Sure, the product -- which looks very real in the picture above (again, it is not) -- is merely meant to illustrate coal's relationship to health problems like asthma. Good cause, good message, well done all.

How Bieber feels about being used as a pawn in this political scheme, we are unsure, but we could understand if his swagginess and charm might leave fans slightly short of breath.

Star Spotting: Lady Gaga, Victorian Matador!

France has been awash with press recently, not just because the annual Cannes Film Festival has got the town crawling with movie producers, directors, actors and agents, but also because Lady Gaga is in town! She's been branding the local papz's lenses with different looks in the past several days: She had a stop in gay Paris, and she even showed up to perform a waterfront concert on the Riviera for the French TV show "Le Grand Journal."

The photo above was taken during Gaga's "Le Grand Journal" performance of "Judas." We see Gaga dressed like some sort of Victorian matador, paws up to the light, perhaps chalking it up to the baptismal, heavily religious Catholic iconography that appears throughout "Judas." Which makes perfect sense since, according to MTV News, Gaga was "really obsessed with religious imagery and fashion for the 'Judas' video," adding that she has been "wearing very romantic, very biblical arrangements, and I always throw in some punk rock for good measure."

Hmm. Is Catholicism going couture?

Star Spotting: Lady Gaga Puts Her Paws Up In Cannes

Posted 5/11/11 6:30 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos

Lady Gaga was spotted at Canal+ Studios during the 64th Annual Cannes Film Festival today, following a recent stop in Paris (although, this time, she looks a little more celebratory). Paying homage to her fans by reminding them to keep their "paws up," she did the same, even going all out and donning the famed "Born This Way" studded leather jacket and some Steampunk sunglasses.

Petite though she may be, Gaga always knows how to make an enormous entrance, even if it means bringing to the sunny French countryside a biker chic aesthetic that somehow looks amazing in the sun. Sure, everyone in Cannes is busy screening possible new indie smashes and blockbusters at the Cannes Film Festival, but Lady Gaga somehow lassos the conversation back to the intersection of music and fashion.

But would we expect anything less from the powerhouse? Viva la Gaga!

Britney Spears' Comic Book Is Finally Here! And It's Just $3.99!!

Posted 5/11/11 3:32 pm EST by in Celebrity

A Beyoncé comic book already exists, as does a comic about Lady Gaga. So should we really be surprised that a new comic book, in which the star is Britney Spears, should exist? Actually, kinda. One could argue that both Lady Gaga and Beyoncé have created fantastical narratives in the now-iconic imagery that follows them in fashion spreads, music videos and album art. Britney, on the other hand, just tends to look really good, but she hasn't necessarily embraced any particularly "weird" aesthetic that even pop stars such as gothbot Jessie J and glitter machine Ke$ha have.

What could Bluewater Comics actually come up with for a Britney comic book? Brit as a supermom? Or she kicks the butt of the evil heartthrob robot, The Federliner 2000?

Actually, Britney's comic book, entitled "Fame: Britney Spears," tracks her meteoric rise to... well... fame. And actually, we'd totally read that. Fortunately Britney's comic book, which is available on Amazon.com, is just $3.99, which we can totally afford.

+ Check out MTV Geek's comprehensive look at the "Fame: Britney Spears" comic book.

PHOTO: Lady Gaga Glues Things To Her Face For V Magazine's Asian Issue (Even Though She's Not Asian)

Lady Gaga looks nothing short of stunning on the upcoming cover of V Magazine's "Asian Issue," which hits newsstands May 12.

So, yeah, she looks stunning, but you know what she does not look like? Asian. Lady Gaga is not Asian, and neither are we, but wouldn't you think the Asia issue of a magazine would feature an actual Asian person? Maybe there's another cover coming.

True, Gaga wasn't necessarily "born this way" (with what look like the remains of a robotic peacock butterfly attached to her face), but, then again, we've never actually had the opportunity to see what Stefani Germanotta looks like in sweatpants, a tee shirt, and a pony tail -- and chances are we never will either.

Nevertheless, the facial horn protrusions are long gone, and Gaga has moved into the world of what might be facial wings...? So, seriously, consider that a thing now. In just three short years, we've already watched Gaga morph (like a butterfly, in fact) from one potent sartorial aesthetic to the next, so a little rainbow face seems like a perfectly unexpected step.

A second image from V Magazine features Gaga's face covered in... gold insects? Is that what that is? Gaga also appears to have a thin bullring through her nose. Yowch. Again, Gaga's V Magazine covers are certainly cool, and Gaga's got tons of Asian fans and even has a tattoo that says "Tokyo love," but again, where's the Asian cover of the Asian issue?

Star Spotting: Christina Aguilera Starts A Conga Line In A Fedora

Posted 5/11/11 10:16 am EST by in Celebrity, Photos

Christina Aguilera and her boyfriend, Matt Rutler, emerged from their hotel in New York City to dine at Spice Market, where they seemed to coordinate color palettes and fedoras in their respective outfits. Both dressed in shades of black and gray. The lovebirds also rocked the short-brimmed hats like they were retro gangsters/old-timey reporters/beach bums (funny how these generalized groups of people all enjoy the occasional fedora, huh?). They also look like they're doing a two-person conga line! PAGING "DANCING wITH THE STARS!"

Do couples who dress alike do other things alike? You know what we mean: Have they started finishing each other's sentences? Are they eating the leftovers off the other's plate at restaurants? Because, look, if their outfits are any indication, things are not just going really well, since the couple that shops together stays together (we know that doesn't rhyme, but roll with it).

Granted, they do look "fedora-ble," and Christina Aguilera is riding high on the success of "The Voice," so let's hope this relationship lasts. Because even if some find it unbearable, a similarly dressed couple is pretty cute (until, of course, they start in with the baby voice -- then, all bets are off).

Star Spotting: Lady Gaga Doesn't Look Happy To Be In Paris (But She Probably Is)

Posted 5/10/11 6:05 pm EST by in Celebrity, Photos

Lady Gaga looked seriously somber while in Paris, where she paired her usual enormous sunglasses with a black leather jacket and black-and-blonde hair reminiscent of Cruella de Vil, except hotter. Maybe she was bumming because she missed her motorcycle. Gaga probably wasn't unhappy, though, considering that "The Edge Of Glory," the newest song off Born This Way, is garnering rave reviews across the board.

Gaga's feel-good anthem picks up where "Born This Way" left off, combining a pulsing, retro, '80s sound reminiscent of Pat Benatar with the same "paws up" mentality that drives the title track off her upcoming album, Born This Way. Oh, and there's a lot of sax, which is something to smile about in and of itself.

Perhaps Gaga is just taking a serious breather before May 23. Mother Monster's just getting started.

Star Spotting: Kevin And Joe Jonas = Hottest Dog Walkers Ever

Posted 5/10/11 10:15 am EST by in Celebrity, Photos

Winston is one lucky dog. The adorable bulldog got to talk a walk with his adorable pop, Joe, and his uncle Kevin (two-thirds of The Jonas Brothers) in Los Angeles. The handsome trio were spotted getting some sun, dressed -- as usual -- in otherwise-casual clothes that the boys manage to fill out quite well. Joe even showed off his support of the New York Giants with a hat that would make Eli Manning proud.

Of course, the real star among these three is Winston, whose underbite and spotted coat give him the upper hand (or is it the upper paw?) when it comes to Jonas We Want To Hug The Most. Sure, Kevin is the cute one and Joe is the hot one (although that's not to say Nick Jonas isn't an effing dreamboat, because have you seen him?), but Winston? He's the huggable one! That sweet face? Those big paws? The saucer-shaped puppy eyes? Yeah, needless to say, we're basically weeping furballs over here.

Joe, if you ever need a dog walker, WE'RE AVAILABLE.
