Carly Simon released her classic pop/rock song "You're So Vain (Clouds in My Coffee)" back in 1972, well before the days of music videos. Well, she's decided it's finally time to put pictures to the music, and she wants your help.

Even when she's tweeting about her boobs, Jessica Simpson never tries to be anyone other than herself.

"I'm vulnerable in any moment," the singer and actress told Allure magazine, after announcing that she'd just burped.  "I don't care if the cameras are on or not, you're going to get the real me. There's no reason to mask that, because that's what's given me the chance to be in a powerful position."

She may have started her career as a pop singer but Simpson has moved on to owning her own clothing, shoe and bag lines, as well as starring in a VH1 reality show that explores beauty standards the world over.

When it comes to "Mad Men" actress Christina Hendricks, the conversation inevitably turns to the 34-year-old's curves, and she recently told New York Magazine that it, well, embarrasses her a bit.

“It kind of hurt my feelings at first,” she said in New York's Spring Fashion 2010 issue.

“Anytime someone talks about your figure constantly, you get nervous, you get really self-conscious," Hendricks explained. "I was working my butt off on the show, and then all anyone was talking about was my body!”

If you had to pick the one thing that Lady Gaga and Alexander McQueen had in common, it was the ability to pull off an eccentric, jaw-dropping show.

But now that McQueen has passed, Gaga is paying tribute to the designer by scaling back on her normally outrageous performance style.

According to U.K. paper The Sun, Gaga will take the stage at tonight's Brit awards in a plain black leotard to play acoustic versions of her lesser-known songs, "Telephone" and "Dance in the Dark."

The gang has arrived in Saint Lucia, where Jake is happy to be after "all that emotion" last week.  He admits that Ali leaving the show for her work was disappointing and wonders, in a clumsy, post-production chop job sort of way, how she's doing.

In San Francisco, Ali says she can't sleep since leaving the show.  She will not give up on Jake and pledges to win his heart. I'm thinking a Facebook fan page in his honor.

Back to the island, where Gia shows up in her Jennifer Beals top and Daisy Duke shorts.  Will her tribute to 1983 clash with Jake's love of 1988 on their date?  Jake then asks Gia if she likes boats, forgetting the fact that they were on a boat for the hometown date. FULL POST

Greetings Bauerites. Another episode is now in the books, and it seems we are finally getting back to some good old-fashioned "24" action.

But before we give any credit to the show for some flashes of brilliance, let's briefly discuss the first 20 minutes, which seemed eerily similar to "watching paint dry."
