Oprah is buying a new “condo” in an exclusive Chicago building. Although her new place takes up an entire floor, it’s just half the size of her last place, which was 10,000 square feet. Word is that she’s moving for the sake of her five dogs, who were annoying her neighbors in her last building.

Oprah and Stedman are finally moving in together and Life and Style speculates that they’re going to be married after over a decade of dating:

At last! Life & Style has learned exclusively that Oprah Winfrey, 52, and longtime beau Stedman Graham, 55, are set to make it official — they’re going to cohabitate!

“They will be moving together to a new place,” a rep for Oprah confirms.

Could this be the first step towards marriage?

Insiders tell Life & Style that Oprah and Stedman could finally be ready to walk down the isle. “At Oprah’s age she no longer feels she has to prove anything about being a strong single woman,” says one insider. “She’s happy to let Stedman have what he wants.”

While the rep downplays talk of nuptials, the insider says Chicago would be the frontrunner for the wedding location — and Oprah just bought the perfect love nest there: a $6 million, 5,000-square-foot apartment!

Congrats to Oprah and Stedman!

If Oprah gets married now, it doesn’t really seem like she’s doing it for love. I doubt it will happen though. She’s been with Stedman forever and they’re only just moving in together? I’m not buying it.

The National Enquirer quotes a supposed insider who claims that Lionel Richie wants his tiny daughter Nicole to spend some time in jail with the hope that she’ll be scared straight. Nicole, who claimed her weight was 88 pounds, admitted to police officers that she was under the influence of pot and Vicodin at the time of her arrest for driving the wrong way on the freeway. She later had a friend tell news outlets that she was taking the prescription painkiller for period cramps.

“Lionel’s stood behind Nicole through three arrests, drug rehab and her drastic weight loss,” a family friend told The ENQUIRER.

“But enough is enough!”

Lionel held an intervention with his pot-smoking daughter last October, begging her to get treatment, said the friend.

“But all she agreed to was some outpatient medical tests. Lionel was incredibly disappointed.

“When he heard of her latest arrest, he sighed to a friend: ‘Let her go to jail. It might do her some good. Maybe it will frighten some sense into her.’”

This article makes it seem like the “intervention” Lionel held for Nicole was for drugs, but he admitted taking Nicole to a doctor to be evaluated for a possible eating disorder. The doctor said that Nicole was suffering from stress, which was making her thin.

If Nicole is convicted of DUI, she will be sentenced to a mandatory five days in jail under California law. She pled guilty to a previous DUI offense in 2002, and if she’s convicted of another one she’ll have to go away for at least five days. Commentor Phin notes that a coworker of his got six months in jail for his second DUI after a lackluster performance in court in front of tough judge. Maybe Nicole should plead guilty and serve her five days. It worked for Martha.

Star magazine is reporting the unsurprising news that Jennifer Aniston has no intention of sitting down with Angelina Jolie for a little heart to heart. Angelina mentioned in a recent interview that she would love to have a little chat with Aniston. She claimed that nothing happened between her and Brad while they were filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but her comments that Brad was married to his “best friend” must have seemed like a backhanded dig to Aniston, who is said to have tried to get over the onslaught of news about her ex and his gorgeous fertile partner by doing yoga and bawling.

Now Star points out that Angelina requested several meetings with Aniston before that were all turned down. They quote a psychologist who says that Angelina is just trying to get over her man-stealing guilt by extending a PR olive branch to Aniston.

They’re really just stating the obvious, and might not have any insider information:

Apparently Angelina’s comments were particularly infuriating because the Mr. & Mrs. Smith star had forgotten to mention that Jen had already rebuffed several previous attempts at reconciliation! “Jen says Angelina could have told Vogue that she had already made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with her,” says the source.

Angelina’s comments, including her claim that she and Brad Pitt, 43, were just “very, very good friends” during filming of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and only became lovers after he and Jen had separated, have put Aniston in a funk as the holidays approach, the source tells Star. “Angelina has opened up some old wounds with Jen, wounds she thought had healed,” the source tells Star. “It seems like revisionist history to her to paint this picture of how Angelina and Brad got together. Jen says a lot of it is plain bull!”

The article goes on to say that Aniston is perplexed that Angelina is bringing up all this old shit. They quote a psychologist who says that “There is a manipulative aspect on Angelina’s part in requesting this sit-down. Angelina wants to alleviate her guilt. It’s better for Jen to move on than to forgive this person. A sit-down isn’t going to help Jen at all.”

Jen is said to be “in a fragile state” now that she’s alone for the holidays. There was speculation that she almost ran into her more recent ex Vince Vaughn at the Beverly Hills Hotel over Christmas, but only Courteney Cox and David Arquette were at the hotel at the same time as Vaughn. Aniston was nowhere to be found.

It does seem really rude of Angelina to request a sit down with Aniston. If my husband left me for someone else unexpectedly I’d steer clear of her too.

These old pictures of Brad and Jen in June 2000 show how much alike they once were. Thanks to SimplyBrad for these pics.

Leonardo DiCaprio is said to have no respect for the way Orland Bloom is handling his career. DiCaprio supposedly sneers at Bloom’s attempt to capitalize on his heartthrob status by taking roles as hot studs in all his latest films.

DiCaprio stepped away from his image as a screen idol after Titanic and stuck to more meaty roles that earned him a Golden Globe and two Oscar nominations.

Bloom is content to stick to what works and is earning big box office revenue which may be making DiCaprio kind of jealous:

Although Orlando has struck gold with the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, insiders say he hasn’t won any respect from Leo. “[After Titanic] Leo turned his back on trying to be marketed as eye candy, and he doesn’t hold a lot of love for actorswho go that route,” a friend of Leo tells Star. Leo, who’s currently starring in the politically loaded thriller Blood Diamond,, “thinks that if someone like Orlando landed his… role, [producers] would have had him unclothed and rolling around in bed in about five seconds,” the friend laughs. “Because Orlando’s movies have made triple what Leo’s movies have made, Leo can’t figure out why Orlando won’t stand up for himself and demad more serious movies.” Adds the friend: “Leo wants to leave a bigger mark on the world than just some guy whose picture hangs on a 13-year-old girl’s wall.”

[Star magazine print edition, January 1, 2007]

Orlando doesn’t demand serious movies because he’s making a mint capilatilizing on his sex appeal. It sounds like Leonardo is pissed that he’s no longer seen as a young hottie like Orlando. He may have chosen a career of serious films, but he probably misses girls drooling over him like they once did.

In Touch Weekly points out that Renee Zellwegger, Britney Spears, Nicole Kidman, and Carmen Electra are looking bustier lately. Their plastic surgeon renders the verdicts and speculation is that Renee and Carmen got implants while Britney’s bigger boobs are the result of her recent birth and Nicole’s can be chalked up to weight gain.

As I sit and stuff my face this holiday season and then try to work it off half-assed on the treadmill, Victoria Beckham reminds us that it’s easier to stay thin if you don’t eat that junk at all. Her friends say she doesn’t exercise and she recently told People magazine that she owes her tiny figure to eating Japanese food and maintaining a strict diet. Damn, I was hoping she at least worked her ass off for it. It’s just as hard not to pop that chocolate in your mouth, though. It’s sitting all around the house at Christmastime and is so hard to resist.

“I eat really healthy, I love Japanese food, lots of fish, any sort of fish, any sort of vegetable, lots of fruit, that kind of thing,” said Beckham, the former Posh Spice, during an appearance recently on the BBC Radio program “Gordon Ramsay’s Perfect Christmas Lunch.”

Of the speculation in the British press about her having an eating disorder, she said, “I don’t really care all that much. We live in Spain. I don’t really see a lot of the press, and I don’t really hear what’s going on. I’m just past caring.”

Still, she says, “I think there’s a big difference between someone having an eating disorder and someone who is controlled about what they eat. There’s a big difference, and every now and then of course I go out and eat what I like. But I do try to be quite disciplined in the way that I eat…”

Beckham, who also said there wouldn’t be a Spice Girls reunion, has faced questions about her appearance in the past couple of years. But friends have told PEOPLE she “eats healthily” – yet, “she doesn’t exercise at all.”

“She eats more than what people would think,” a friend insists.

Posh also said that she wasn’t too concerned about super thin models, who she called “naturally thin,” and thought the young age of some models is more of a concern.

I read a book a while ago called “The Okinawa Diet” that credits longevity in Japanese people living on the island of Okinawa to eating a diet of fish and rice, and stopping eating when they’re 80% full. There are more people aged 100 and up on the island of Okinawa than anywhere else in the world, and science has shown that calorie restriction without starvation is tied to a long life in mammals.

I guess what I’m saying is that Victoria Beckham is crazy thin and that doesn’t seem healthy to me, but at least she’s eating right and is taking care of herself. If she keeps it up without starving too much she’s likely to live longer than the rest of us too.

Victoria recently joked that she can’t be in the fake Scientology movie because she can’t act and wouldn’t wear the costumes for the part. They’d probably be too big for her anyway.

Pictures taken in mid December and found on Saving Face Forum.

I just published a story about Victoria Beckham claiming that she maintains her figure with Japanese food, and found these pictures of her leaving Japanese restaurant Zuma last night with her husband David. The Sun jokes that they look like the help in these outfits:

HAVE DAVID and VICTORIA BECKHAM swapped clothes with their hired help for a day?

I only ask because of these photos which show Posh dressed like a French Maid and David looking very similar to a chauffeur.

Last week I tried to guess what the Real Madrid ace could have bought Victoria for Christmas that left her looking so, well, swell.

And, from these snaps, she must have been bursting to tell dinner pals GORDON and TANA RAMSAY all about David’s generous presents.

The foursome enjoyed a three-hour meal at top Japanese restaurant Zuma before leaving after midnight for a spot of clubbing at Fifty in St James’s, London.

David is also wearing a very skinny tie, so maybe we can expect that trend from the 80s to come back too. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Posh’s nipples and I’m sure it won’t be the last.

Thanks to Faded Youth for these pictures.

Meg Ryan should throw on a bra before she steps out, even if she’s just picking up her kid at daycare. She was photographed sagging and looking beat. She could be quite pretty if she had a proper hairdo and put herself together.

Ryan is going to star in a miniseries for HBO called “The Best Awful,” which is based on one of Carrie Fischer’s novels. She is also appearing in films “In the Land of Women” and action comedy “Homeland Security,” and seems to be making a moderate comeback. All the more reason to put on a bra before she goes out.

She was seen with her nearly two year-old daughter, Daisy, who she adopted from China and originally named Charlotte. Ryan told Oprah that she changed the girl’s name when she was a year old because she didn’t look like a Charlotte.
