Woah. Eighties pop songstress Tiffany isn’t looking half-bad, aging-wise. But it looks like she forgot to wash all the eyeshadow from her lids… back in 1987. Tiffany, 36, best known for her hit “I Think We’re Alone Now,” was last seen on VH1’s “Celebrity Fit Club.” It looks like she’s done a good job keeping the weight off, and aside from the crazy eyeshadow… and the matching dress… she’s looking pretty good. Celebitchy claims that Tiffany is in fact not stuck in the eighties, and was dressing normally until recently. So apparently she’s just reverted to the eighties. Her jewelry is cute and up-to-date, and she’s even sporting a little nose ring.

Back in the day (and by that, I mean 1987) Tiffany set a record for the youngest female artist to top the Billboard charts with a debut album. While there is no official record, I’m pretty sure she also set one for biggest eighties hair on a famous redhead. They really ought to keep track of such things. Tiffany was out and about on Oscar night, attending the Jennifer Love Hewitt-hosted “The Envelope Please” Oscar viewing party, which raises money for the AIDS Project Los Angeles. Here are some pictures, along with the (in)famous video for “I Think We’re Alone Now.” Does anyone remember two different versions of this song? Celebitchy thinks there’s a non “singing in a mall” version, but this is the only one I remember.

You know what young people love? A good coffee table book. Yes you heard me correctly. Though older generations are known for using them simply as decor, it’s nearly impossible to make a young person not flip though a coffee table book. In fact, the real problem is the way they make notes in the margins. Most young people don’t even flip through the books casually anymore, instead preferring to take them home and read them intensely, forgetting about sleep and food and work, becoming so wrapped up as they do in coffee table books. They return the book tattered, dog-eared and highlighted. Given this generational obsession with what was formerly seen as a mere place to rest one’s mug, you can see why the Olsen twins have decided to put all their energy into a coffee table book for young people.

Mary-Kate and Ashley have signed with Penguin Young Readers to write a new book, with the working title Influence, introducing them to the towering figures that have influenced the “Business Women, Designers and Global Style Icons.” Don’t look for Margaret Thatcher or Golda Meir here, though — these are more the folks you’d find on PatrickMcMullan:

Influence introduces readers to respected artists, seasoned designers and others who have influenced Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen over the past decade. The book will feature influential figures including; Christian Louboutin, Lauren Hutton, Bob Colacello, Terry Richardson, Jack Pierson and Robert Lee Morris. A coffee table book, Influence includes exclusive photographs of Ashley and Mary-Kate from world renowned photographer Rankin, and a wide variety of other never-before-seen materials and interviews from Mary-Kate and Ashley’s personal collections.

These, according to Ashley, are “the most interesting, challenging, creative people we know — the ones who helped pave the way for us and our generation.” Adds Mary-Kate: “Ashley and I interviewed the people who have inspired us, with the hope that they will inspire and teach others.”

While the Olsens do have some higher-end merchandise, most of their “young person” stuff is sold at Walmart. I’m not exactly sure those are the types of teenagers who are going to be interested in hearing about Christian Louboutin and Lauren Hutton. I’m also thinking they might not be the traditional coffee table book buying type. Not that a whole lot of people their age are, mind you. Sure once in a while they may grab a coffee table book from the living room, but it’s just to use as a flat surface to eat their dinner on. Yeah I do it every night, what’s the big deal? Certainly I might feel a tad more sophisticated if I ate my Cup ‘O Noodles on an Olsen Twin couture coffee table book, but I have a feeling that I’m the only one. Though the twins are known for their business savvy, I can’t help but think this might not be their biggest seller.

Kate Moss is losing her battle against the cigarette. According to the Daily Mail, the formerly waif-thin model is battling her nicotine addiction, and without much success. She’s supposedly trying to quit for the health of her young daughter, Lila Grace – and for the sake of her skin. According to the Mail, Kate knows she doesn’t have much longer to be a model at the top of her game, and she knows she’s making it harder on herself with the damaging effects of nicotine.

“She is trying desperately to ditch the fags as they are not good for her daughter Lila Grace, and they are not doing her skin any favours either.

“At 34, Kate knows she doesn’t have long at the top left, so has to try and look after herself better. She has been smoking like a chimney for years, and is finding it extremely difficult. She’s still on 30 a day, and can easily go through 40 if she has a night out.”

Kate’s battle against the ciggies comes amid reports she has also embarked on a healthy eating regime. Insiders say she is taking her diet and health more seriously, taking extra iron supplements and stocking up on spinach and greens. Optimistic insiders claim Kate, who had daughter Lila Grace by former squeeze Jefferson Hack, is ready to give up alcohol and coffee.

[From the Daily Mail]

Kate might want to just focus on one addiction at a time. Going after too many at once would be incredibly overwhelming, especially from the horror stories you hear about people trying to quit cigarettes. At 30, she’s certainly not one of those two-packs-a-day people you hear about, but that sure is a lot. Kat is also said to be addicted to nicotine patches, and has to frantically adjust them before photo shoots, depending on what she is wearing. But the worst part is that if ever someone asks her for a patch, the wealthy model charges people - $3 for one!

Despite buying bumper 60 packs of the patches, the supermodel is still struggling and smoking 30 cigarettes a day. One would have thought the outlay for patches wouldn’t be a worry for moneybags Kate — but she won’t part with a spare patch for less than £1.50.

A source said: “At photoshoots, Kate is always getting the nicotine patches out as she usually has to rearrange them depending on what she’s wearing for the shots. But if anyone else asks for one, she sells them for £1.50. People are very surprised when she tries to charge them for one as it’s the last thing you’d expect from a megabucks model. But she laughs with it and says it’s her little business on the side. The look on people’s faces when she says she has to make some spare cash somehow is hilarious!

[From the Daily Mail]

Yes, being stingy sure is hilarious! I think it’d be funny if Kate were joking about charging people, but from the context of the article she is very much serious about it. Maybe she recognizes that the smoking isn’t doing her face any favors, and the money is going to dry up pretty soon.

I’m torn in my feelings for Barack Obama. On the one hand, I think he’s amazing. On the other, I find it distracting to see someone so attractive running for president. Do you all remember that photo of him on the beach a few years ago? Yeah, distracting. Can you imagine trying to focus on his State of the Union speech? Although I will admit with much embarrassment that I occasionally had the hots for Clinton, so I guess I can get over it. Obama gave a celebrity-friendly interview to Us Weekly in which he said his daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, are aware of Britney Spears and her ilk, but think she’s “yuck.” Anyone with kids that smart is good by me.

Do your daughters Sasha and Malia ever ask about Britney Spears?
Actually, yeah. But they’re very sensible. They’re pretty down on Britney and Paris and all of that. They think that’s very “yuck.” They’re way more into Hannah Montana and Beyonce. They got to go backstage and meet Beyonce and they just love her to death.

Your supporters include Oprah Winfrey. Ever been starstruck?
I don’t really get starstruck. Everyone I’ve met has been very nice and friendly, like Kal Penn. During the writers’ strike, he was like a staffer! And Scarlett Johansson has been traveling a lot. George Clooney is a good friend. He and I worked on Darfur issues together. I’m always impressed by people who do their homework… and use their celebrity to advocate for issues. George does that just about as well as anyone I know.

[From Us Weekly]

But leave it to Us Weekly to make sure an interview doesn’t accidentally sink into something with a little bit of elegance and class. They had to launch into the trite and lame “boxers or briefs” question. But Obama put them into their place pretty quickly – but still gave a good answer.

So, boxers or briefs? Bill Clinton said he wore boxers in a 1992 interview with MTV.
I don’t answer those humiliating questions. But whichever one it is, I look good in ‘em!

[From Us Weekly]

I would be that’s a very true answer. I’m just waiting for some reporter to ask Hillary Clinton what size bra she wears. Or maybe “underwire or soft cup?” “Maxi pads or tampons?” What ridiculousness. I curse Bill for ever answering the question. Actually it’s fine that he rolled with it; I curse whoever asked in the first place. You’ll notice that no ever asked Bush what was going on underneath his trousers. Shudder at the thought. No one would dream of asking Huckabee what he’s sporting down there. Though I think McCain is still fair game.

Larry Birkhead has confirmed to his best buddies at Entertainment Tonight that his daughter with Anna Nicole Smith, Dannielyn, has undergone surgery to correct an eye condition known as strabismus. The toddler is resting comfortably after the procedure, and I’m sure we will hear a blow-by-blow account of her recovery very soon.

Larry Birkhead says his 17-month-old daughter Dannielynn has undergone eye surgery.

“Dannielynn is home from surgery and resting comfortably,” Birkhead tells Entertainment Tonight.

Birkhead had previously told Usmagazine.com that he was considering surgery for his daughter, who suffers from strabismus, or the turning in of one of her eyes. The condition is common in about 5 percent of children and cannot be outgrown.

Birkhead and Dannielynn recently returned from the Bahamas, where they paid their respects to Dannielynn’s mother, Anna Nicole Smith, who died a year this month.

[From Us Weekly]

I’m glad that Dannielynn got her eye corrected– the condition was noticeable from the time she was very small and seemed to be getting worse. However, I really hope we don’t hear coverage of her surgery and recovery every night for the next week on ET Insider. I would not be surprised if pimp-daddy Birkhead actually has video of the surgery that he’s holding out for highest bidder. That guy makes me ill.

On a personal note, my younger sister had strabismus as a child, too. Like Dannielyn, she had the surgery, followed by months of physical therapy. Today, she wears glasses, but her eye is not turned.

Life seemed to be looking up for Amy Winehouse for a while, but now it’s a bit hard to tell. The singer has managed to get her Norwegian drug hearing delayed. Norwegian law requires that all parties in the crime show up, and as Amy’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil is currently incarcerated in the U.K., he cannot get himself to Norway. The couple are trying to reverse their guilty plea on pot possessions charges, claiming that they didn’t know that paying the fine was an admission of guilt. To be fair, the way it’s phrased in the press makes it sound like they thought the fee was bail money, not a fine for a crime.

Winehouse and her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, were held overnight in Bergen, Norway on charges of possessing about a quarter-ounce of marijuana. They were released the following morning after each paying fines of $715.

Winehouse later appealed the fine, claiming she was unaware that handing over the cash was tantamount to pleading guilty to the pot charge and alleging that Norwegian police mishandled the case by failing to provide an English translator.

A drug charge on her record could create problems for the singer when it comes to obtaining the proper visas to perform in the United States and other parts of the world.

However, Bergen Police Attorney Rudolf Christoffersen maintained at the time that the singer was only questioned by an English-speaking officer who explained in detail the charges and consequences of paying the fine.

[From E! News]

I’m surprised that not much has been made of Amy’s drug using in the U.K. You’d think that would be her bigger problem, versus some pot. But any type of drug conviction is a problem for Winehouse, Visa-wise. And the U.K. hasn’t given her much of a problem over her rampant (and videotaped) drug use there. While Amy did check into rehab shortly after the aforementioned tape was leaked, she got out pretty quickly. Since then, she’s unfortunately been seen holding a bottle of beer, and appears to be back to engaging in self-harm, showing many fresh cuts on her arm last week.

The Norwegian hearing, which had been scheduled for Friday, has been postponed. But classy Blake will still be showing up in court that day anyway – in Snaresbrook Crown Court in London. There he will have to officially enter his plea on a witness tampering charge in his assault trial. This pair just get classier and classier. Obviously Amy still has a lot of issues to deal with – but if she’s trying to clear up her drug charge, that likely means that she wants to be able to get a visa so she can tour. Hopefully she continues looking to the future and cleans up her act.

Here’s Amy leaving her Camden home in London on Monday. Images thanks to Splash.

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey have always seemed like they have a cool relationship. The pair have never made a big deal out of their coupledom – neither courting nor hiding from the paparazzi. In fact a lot of people didn’t even realize they were dating until they’d been together a good six months. They have both joked that they see no need to get married – but when two people makes as many jokes as the famous comedians, it’s hard to tell when they really mean it. But Jenny has stated flat-out that she and Jim won’t ever be getting married, as neither of them see the point anymore. And they won’t be adding any more kids to their brood either.

She’s committed to funnyman Jim Carrey, but Jenny McCarthy tells In Touch that they won’t be walking down the aisle. “We’re living together, we don’t want any more children and we’re very happy — all that’s going to be is a piece of paper, really,” Jenny says of marriage. The 35-year-old divorced actress notes that marriage doesn’t mean love will last forever. “What is it a guarantee of? I’ll be yours forever? I’ll be faithful? Bull!” The mother of Evan Asher, 5, also adds that she doesn’t need to marry to have additional children — because she doesn’t want more: “This womb is closed.” But she does admit that Jim, 46 — who’s been divorced twice — makes her happy. “He is the light of my life and we’re more in love now than we have been in our entire relationship.” Jenny spoke to In Touch on the set of a webisode for inthemotherhood.com. Jim has a 20-year-old daughter, Jane, with his ex-wife, Melissa Womer.

[From In Touch]

I couldn’t tell from Jenny’s phrasing if she meant that marriage is no guarantee of faithfulness, or of HER faithfulness. A lot of famous couples that say they won’t get married claim it’s because they don’t need a piece of paper or a church to tell them they’re together forever. Jenny seems to be saying the opposite: there’s no point in getting married because even that doesn’t guarantee people won’t part. Which is true, it’s just funny because it’s the opposite reason so many other people give. Jim and Jenny make a lot of sense together, and seem like a pretty great match compared to a lot of other famous couples. I’d guess their shot of being together for the long haul is still pretty good, regardless of any marriage certificate.

Here’s Jim and Jenny at the Geffen Museum of Contemporary Arts on July 23rd. Images thanks to Splash.

Nicole Richie appears on the cover of this week’s People with baby Harlow, and the little six week old is super cute and aware-looking.

In the excerpt of the article available on People’s website, Richie talks about breastfeeding and having to limit the type of foods she eats so that her baby isn’t colicky. In my experience and from what my friends report it’s true that what the mother eats affects the breastmilk, particularly in the first few weeks. This gradually goes away after a few months after which you can start adding foods back into your diet.

My son was very fussy until I cut out milk and bread. While some people say that it doesn’t matter what the mother eats and cite the spicy food and diets of different cultures, proteins from the mother’s diet do pass into the milk, especially in the first few weeks and months. I’m really glad that Richie mentioned this because it’s come up with several of my friends with their first babies and doesn’t get much attention.

“It’s almost like I don’t even remember what life was like before her. She gives life a whole new meaning and a whole new purpose.”

As for breastfeeding, “There’s just so much I can’t eat because she’s sensitive,” says the new mom, 26. “I eat really bland [food] – chicken noodle soup, vegetables, fish. I had to cut out milk, no tomatoes, no lettuce. You think you have to cut everything out when you’re pregnant, but you really have to cut everything out when you’re breastfeeding.”

And while Richie says, “I don’t know” how long she was in labor, “because I don’t know what time I actually went into labor, but I pushed for 10 minutes,” Madden, 28, said of his daughter: “She came out and she was crying. The doctor goes, ‘Well, it looks like you got a little girl!’ “

[From People.com]

The Journal of the American Medical Association says that pregnant and breastfeeding women should be careful not to eat peanuts because they can possibly cause peanut allergies in their children. From my anecdotal experience again, this is true. There were two women in my La Leche League meetings who had children with peanut allergies and said they frequently snacked on peanut butter sandwiches when their babies were little.

Congratulations to Joel and Nicole. Seeing that cute little one reminds me how quickly the time passes. Good for her for speaking candidly about breastfeeding and having to limit your diet. I know this made me lose weight quickly after my son was born as I subsisted on turkey, chicken and rice for a couple of months. I never quite got as thin as Nicole is now, though.

All of Hollywood is abuzz! The gossip blogs are literally on fire as I type. Jennifer Aniston did not, I repeat NOT – want to hang out with her ex-husband-who-left-her-for-some-hotter-chick’s best friend. Can you believe it? In the snub of all Hollywood snubs, Jennifer apparently doesn’t want anything to do with George Clooney’s attempts to be friendly. George and Brad Pitt are BFF you know. According to OK! (and just about every other magazine in existence) George and Jennifer both attended the Night Before gala, an annual party held the (you guessed it) night before the Oscars. When George went up to Jen to say hello and have a little conversation, things got tense.

Oscar winner George Clooney certainly has his fair share of female fans, but OK! has learned you probably shouldn’t count Jennifer Aniston among them! The handsome Michael Clayton star — who just happens to be best buds with Jen’s ex Brad Pitt — sauntered up to the actress at last Saturday’s Night Before gala in Beverly Hills, where she was busy chatting with Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Orlando Bloom, Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, Susan, outside of Bar Nineteen12.

“George attempted to be friendly, but Jen wasn’t having it,” one eyewitness tells OK!. “After enduring a few minutes of the actor’s presence, Jen turned on her heels and made a beeline for the Sunset Ballroom, where most of the guests were mingling.”

Courteney, naturally, joined Jen, leaving her affable husband, David, to make awkward small talk with George!

[From OK!]

Ooooohhhh, awkward. Does everyone in the world have to love George Clooney? I mean let’s say, just for argument’s sake, that Jennifer never liked George. Why the hell should she bother pretending otherwise for more than a few minutes if she doesn’t have to? And I’m not sure “making a beeline” for the ballroom is the greatest of snubs. She’s an actress. She’s classically trained in the art of throwing a glass of champagne in a man’s face, but she didn’t do it. If she really can’t stand George, I think she showed some restraint. Though I’m not sure Courteney Cox running after Jen to make sure their umbilical cord was still attached was the most mature move.
