Posted on Feb 22, 2012 @ 02:33PM - Add a comment

It started out as a gaggle of Hollywood moms getting together for potluck dinners hosted by actresses and friends Ali Landry and Alison Sweeney. That led to the reality series Hollywood Girls Night, where the Alis have celeb pals (Denise Richards, Niecy Nash, Cheryl Burke) come over to dish while eating homemade dishes. For the second season, Ali Landry spoke to Star about the new menu.

Justin & Jessica: Wedding Jitters!


Posted on Feb 21, 2012 @ 01:31PM - 1 comment

The honeymoon is over for Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel — before it even began. Since they got engaged over the holidays, the couple have been butting heads over everything from hammering out their prenup to becoming parents. And JT's serial cheating throughout their four-year romance is a big issue. "She thinks if he strays during the marriage, she should be royally compensated," says an insider.

"She wants a fidelity clause in the prenup giving her at least $500,000 if he does."

But Justin, 31, is offering a cash settlement with no fidelity clause or alimony, adds the source. "But Jess won't budge."

The A-Team babe, 29, also insists that they hold off on starting a family. "If he's faithful for several years, maybe she'll agree to have a baby," says the insider. "She doesn't trust him 100 percent yet. Jessica figures if she gets fat during pregnancy, he'll cheat again."

Hey Jessica Simpson... No Cutting In -- Even If You're Pregnant!


Posted on Feb 20, 2012 @ 09:48AM - 2 comments

Jessica Simpson learned the hard way — sometimes there are just no shortcuts!

On a recent vacation in Santa Barbara, Calif., the ready-to-pop star and fiancé Eric Johnson decided to hit up a local Mexican-food hotspot, La Super-Rica Taqueria. Because it's one of the most popular eateries in town, "The line is always around the block," a source tells Star. "Apparently Jessica was too hungry to wait on the line like everyone else, so she tried to walk straight to the front in the hope that someone would take pity on her pregnant self."

But Jessica's big belly didn't help her one bit. "Unfortunately for Jess, the line went crazy and other hungry people started yelling at her," explains the source. "It was so embarrassing. Eventually, Jess was escorted to the back of the line."

But she didn't want to wait. Instead, Jessica decided to fill her rumbling belly with some fast food.

"After all that, she just went to grab some Taco Bell around the corner." Seems Jessica needs a reminder: Patience is a virtue!

Reese Gets Some Action In 'This Means War'


Posted on Feb 16, 2012 @ 09:00AM - Add a comment

It's not easy being torn between two hunky CIA agents. Or maybe it is for Reese Witherspoon who plays the ultimate object of affection in This Means War.

In this romantic/bromantic action-comedy, two dashing BFF CIA studs meet the girl of their dreams — but she happens to be the same girl.

The romantic guy, Tuck (Tom Hardy), and lady-killer FDR (Chris Pine) go to war for the attention of Lauren (Witherspoon). It's spy vs. spy as the lovestruck guys use the tricks of their trade to sabotage each other's dates with her.

Hardy and Pine have terrific comic chemistry (and both of them make sparks with Witherspoon), but the humor takes a backseat to the overwrought action, with director McG blowing things up and shooting off lots of weapons in contrived set pieces that never generate tension. As a result, this movie never gets off the ground.

Long Story Short: Too much destruction to keep the comedy intact!

Teen Mom Catelynn: She's No Angel


Posted on Feb 14, 2012 @ 03:00PM - Add a comment

Teen Mom Catelynn Lowell may be squeaky clean on TV — but she's not as straightlaced you'd think. "She's definitely not as innocent as she seems," a source reveals to Star. While MTV keeps her vices under wraps on screen, the 19-year-old — who, along with fiancé Tyler Baltierra, famously gave up daughter Carly for adoption — "is very forthcoming about her partying lifestyle," explains the source.

Catelynn's problems may be the product of her upbringing, which included an absentee father and a mother who struggled with substance abuse. "She hasn't completely risen above her family's issues," the source says.

"Growing up around her family's bad habits has caused her to pick up a few herself."

But Teen Mom shines a positive light on Catelynn. "MTV doesn't even want the girls smoking cigarettes on camera, because it portrays the wrong image," an MTV insider explains. "So they definitely wouldn't show Catelynn doing anything worse than that. MTV wants Catelynn to be the angel of the show. She's a nice girl, but that isn't really the whole truth."

'RHOC' Star Alexis Bellino Shares Secrets To A Happy Marriage


Posted on Feb 09, 2012 @ 12:13PM - 1 comment

The Real Housewives of Orange County's Alexis Bellino and her husband, Jim, have seen their previous marriages fail. So the couple have created 10 rock-solid rules to make sure their relationship endures, Alexis tells Star.

At the top of the list: Never spend more than two nights apart, treat each other with respect at all times and no name-calling when arguing. "No matter how mad you get... you cannot take your words back," says Alexis — who dishes that RHOC's seventh season, which began on Feb. 7, will be the most drama-filled yet.

Alexis adds that she and Jim, the parents of three, also strive to discuss every disagreement and have 20-minute meetings each night after dinner to catch up.

In addition, the pair make most decisions jointly — "always the big ones," says Alexis — pray together, go to therapy regularly and have a date night at least once a week. But the critical point is also the most simple. "Put marriage first," says Alexis. "Everything else falls into place."
