Rachel Zoe explains why she won't style Snooki

She's dressed everyone from Cameron Diaz to Demi Moore to Eva Mendes, but Rachel Zoe says there's one celebrity you won't see her styling anytime soon: Snooki.

"I don't have time," the busy Zoe, who has a Bravo reality show and designs her own QVC fashion line, tells the Hollywood Reporter. "No really, because she's so out there right now, that's like a full-time job."

Zoe has never seen an episode of "Jersey Shore" but says the reality star shouldn't take her comments personally. "It's nothing against Snooki," she insists.

Rob Lowe not headed to 'Two and a Half Men'

Reports have circulated that Rob Lowe might be in the running to replace Charlie Sheen on "Two and a Half Men" - rumors that even Sheen himself has endorsed - but "Parks and Recreation" executive producer Michael Schur wants you to know that Lowe's not going anywhere.

"The Internet lit a match and set itself on fire," said Schur of the stories at Wednesday night's PaleyFest panel about "Parks," adding that there was "no truth" to the rumors, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

NBC announced last summer that Lowe was joining the critically-acclaimed comedy as a full-fledged cast member, and his turn as Chris, the super-positive, super-healthy state auditor, has been an instant hit with fans.

This season of 'Top Chef' is on fire!

If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Especially when 30 gallons of frying oil bursts into flames.

But perhaps I’m getting ahead of myself.

“Top Chef: All-Stars” has landed in the Bahamas for this season’s final rounds, with five chefs making the trip.

'Showbiz Tonight' Flashpoint: LiLo doesn't accept plea deal...yet

Lindsay Lohan was back in court this morning – but she didn’t take a deal in her necklace theft case.

I think her best bet would have been to plea, do some time in jail and put this behind her. She still has some time to reconsider – but if she doesn’t, Lindsay’s really rolling the dice with a possible trial. If she’s convicted of stealing the necklace, she could get up to three years in prison!

What do you think? Post your comments below.

Chris Brown on Rihanna: I'm done apologizing

Chris Brown on Rihanna: I'm done apologizing

Just weeks after an L.A. court ruled that Chris Brown is no longer required to stay away from Rihanna, the singer is speaking out about his 2009 assault on his ex and saying that he's done apologizing.

"People are always gonna talk, but I'm in a positive place. I consider myself a grown-a— man," he tells the New York Post's Page Six Magazine. "At the end of the day, if I walk around apologizing to everybody, I'm gonna look like a damn fool."

Brown, who was ordered to serve five years probation, put in more than 1,400 hours of "labor-oriented service" and complete a 52-week domestic violence program, adds that only a few friends, including N.E.R.D.'s Pharrell Williams, stood by him throughout the dark times.

In a prior life, Britney Spears would've been Audrey Hepburn

With her new album, "Femme Fatale," dropping March 29, Britney Spears' name is currently on everyone's lips. But in a new interview, she's turning the tables and speaking out about other stars.

Spears, a longtime Madonna fan, tells the latest issue of Out magazine that she is molding her career after the Material Girl's.

"She is an amazing entertainer," says the pop princess, who posed in a barely there leotard that reveals tattoos near her crotch. "Besides Madonna, I also admire Sarah Jessica Parker’s career and her shoe collection."
