Rihanna Wears C-Word Necklace to Check out a Jesus Statue

Rihanna's been having a blast this week in Brazil, where she's performed in itty bitty hot pants, partied with Katy Perry, and visited some of the country's most famous landmarks, including the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio and its adjacent chapel.

While Rihanna was relatively covered up in a yellow blouse and denim Daisy Dukes, there was one aspect of her ensemble that couldn't possibly be considered Catholic chapel-friendly: Her gold plate necklace, which was emblazoned with a very unpleasant 4-letter word that begins with a "C."

It's likely that Rihanna just hadn't thought her accessories through on this particular pilgrimage. There's also the fact that she uses the C-word pretty liberally, even applying a modified version (NSFW-ish) of it as a nickname for her buddy Katy Perry in public on Twitter. She definitely didn't intend to offend.

William and Kate to Open a Children's Cancer Center

Prince William and wife Kate Middleton (that's the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to us common folks) announced today that they will open a children's cancer center at the Royal Marsden Hospital. Princess Di was the former president of the London hospital, and Prince William was appointed to the position in 2007.

Wills and Kate have reportedly been quietly researching various charitable organizations in an effort to decide which cause is most near and dear to them. The royal couple will visit the center on September 29, where they will meet staff and patients and take a tour of the facility.

Kate seems to have plans for other major charitable endeavors as well. "The Duchess is using the next few months to get to get to know a number of charitable and other causes better, so she can make well-informed decisions about her future role," a palace spokesman said in a statement.

In a world filled with daily Lohan shenanigans and celebs who take themselves way too seriously, it's great to see this classy couple using their influence to help make the world a better place.

Look of the Day: Jennifer Lopez

It's official—tie-tops are back! This weekend Rihanna performed in a denim crop top and scandalous hot pants, while Jennifer Lopez filmed her new music video in a pair of high-waisted pleated shorts and a knotted chiffon blouse.

JLo's day chic ensemble was paired with two pendant necklaces and a white leather hobo bag. Stacked ivory Gucci platforms with ankle wrap straps and black piping made us take note of exactly why she is the Gillette Venus spokesmodel.

Thick highlighted waves and neutral makeup topped off the diva's subdued style. We're eager to see what show-stopping style Jennifer has in store for the next season of American Idol.

Poll of the Day: Katy Perry's Blonde Hair - Yay or Nay?

It's not clear what took her so long, but Katy Perry has finally gone blonde -- at least for the moment, anyway. So the question is: did she pull it off? 

But first, last week's poll: You may love the socialite, but the clear majority of Zimbio's readers feel Kim Kardashian has no right seeking $20 million in damages from Old Navy over their look-a-like "Super C-U-T-E" ads. Considering the reality star gets paid thousands just to Tweet and has an engagement ring worth more than a small fleet of Ferarris, we understand if it's a bit hard to sympathize with Kim. 

Back to Perry's new blonde 'do... If you religiously follow the pop star on Twitter like we do, you'd know she's been working on lightening her hair for weeks now. But it wasn't until we caught a glimpse of the California Gurl at the premiere of The Smurfs last night in NYC that we could stop and fully judge her freshly dyed locks.

This much we do know: the pop star's new hair is infinitely more appealing than her creepy, plastic doll / Disney princess look. But we'll leave it up to you to decide whether or not Perry the blonde was a good idea. 

Emma Watson Will Fall in Love with a 'Beast'

Emma Watson just can't seem to distance herself too far from Fantasy Land. The break-out Harry Potter star is set to co-headline yet another film adaptation of Beauty and the Beast according to film producer Denise Di Novi, who mentioned the project during a press junket for Crazy, Stupid, Love.

The producer says Watson will be teaming up with Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro, which means the end result will definitely look creepy. But before Emma ever hits the set on a Beauty and the Beast project, she's still got two movies lined up for theatrical release.

First up is My Week with Marilyn where she'll play a supporting role alongside Michelle Williams who is playing Marilyn Monroe coming off her Oscar-nominated performance in Blue Valentine. Next Emma will have a central role in the film adaptation of Stephen Chbosky's popular young adult coming-of-age novel, The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Too Cute: Selena Gomez Wears Justin Bieber's Purple Plaid Shirt in London

Selena Gomez must be missing her man! The starlet was spotted in London Friday wearing Justin Bieber's purple plaid shirt while holding a fluffy white teddy bear. Awww.

The singers were together a few weeks ago for Selena's Monte Carlo movie premiere in NYC, and during the trip he was spotted wearing the purple button down. It's clearly found a new home since.

The two parted ways after their early July reunion and Selena's been super busy promoting her movie and new album in the UK since then, while Justin's been all over the place too. He recently partied with Usher to celebrate the anniversary of "One Time," and has been showing up at malls to advertise his new fragrance, Someday. This weekend, he's camping! 

Kate Middleton Dazzles At First Military Event as Duchess

Kate Middleton has been duchess for almost two months now, and she has yet to disappoint. She's beautiful and charming and practically perfect in every way! Today was no different when she turned on the charm with her hubby Prince William to honor the Irish Guards in London on Armed Forces Day.

As usual, the new duchess was dressed perfectly for the occasion. She wore a blue coat dress with matching shoes, and a stylish fascinator (she could give Princess Beatrice a few tips in the hat department) and flashed her giant smile as she met with servicemen and the families of fallen guardsmen today.

Kate was said to have spent twice the amount of scheduled time talking with the guardsmen, and was happy to participate in an event so "close to her husband's heart," said a royal aide.

This was Will's first event as the Colonel-in-Chief of the Irish guards, an honor he received in February, and the couple took the time to speak personally to each of the 60 members today.

Paris Hilton and Cy Waits Break Up

Looks like Paris Hilton is single again! The reality star and her beau Cy Waits have reportedly called it quits.There was buzz last week about the two going through some rough times, and apparently it was true -- even though Cy denied it at the time. A source tells Us magazine: "They are broken up. It's sad, she cares about him a lot and thinks he's a great guy but they really hit a rough patch."

There's no crazy affair story or drama associated with the split (yet), it apparently comes down to one simple thing: Dating a reality star is tougher than it looks! "[Cy's] found it difficult to live his life with her in the spotlight and that's what caused their split. No drama, it's amicable, but things didn't work out," an insider said.

These two have been dating for about a year after getting together shortly after Ms. Hilton and Doug Reinhart split in spring 2010.

We have a feeling this isn't really the end of the road for these two, but, for now, Paris is back on the market!

Lady Gaga Isn't So Single After All

Last month Lady Gaga proclaimed her singledom on a British talk show, but turns out the breakup with her "muse" Luc Carl was really more of a tiff that lasted a week or two.

She told host Graham Norton last month "I don't have a boyfriend," but sources say that might have been the case for a whole two seconds.

"They had a little fight," says an insider (via Us magazine). "I think the breakup lasted a week or two."

So Gaga might have stretched the truth a bit about her love life, but we can't be too surprised. She admitted: "I sometimes skirt questions about it -- and maybe not honestly."

The source says the longtime couple are "totally back together now," and we even hear the singer's bartender beau is planning to quit his job to come on the road with her!

Prince William and Kate's Canadian Vacation Plans Revealed

While word that Prince William and Kate Middleton will travel through Canada as part of their first North American tour is old news, it wasn't until today that details of their trip were revealed. And judging from their itinerary, it appears that the royal couple will be welcomed by fireworks, as they're set to arrive in the land of maple syrup and Justin Bieber on July 1, better known (up there) as Canada Day.

Yes, July 1 is not just the day that Selena Gomez's newest movie Monte Carlo hits theaters, it's also the day that marks Canada's independence from Britain. Oh, the irony!

According to People, the newlyweds will be welcomed by much more than just a fireworks display. After being greeted by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and a 21-gun salute, William and Kate are set to attend an hour long ceremony complete with a fighter-jet flyover and cheerful renditions of "O Canada."

We know what your'e thinking, and the answer is yes: Canada does have one fighter jet. And if the Ottawa Citizen is correct, hundreds of thousands of people will show up to see that jet -- and the royal couple too. More details on William and Kate's Canadian trip are expected in the coming days.

Selena Gomez Makes a Second Trip to the Hospital

Selena Gomez was rushed to the hospital after filming The Tonight Show Thursday night, and one trip just didn't do it -- TMZ reports the starlet was taken back to an LA hospital Saturday for blood pressure issues.

The Disney star, who's dating teen sensation Justin Bieber, complained of nausea and a severe headache Thursday. The nausea component, of course, sparked a flurry of pregnancy rumors about the 18-year-old actress. And, they're totally not true.

New reports indicate the starlet's been in and out of the hospital for blood pressure issues, but doctors have yet to figure out what's wrong.

Her rep released a statement after her overnight hospital stay Thursday, announcing that Selena was undergoing "routine tests."

An insider said no one knew anything was wrong during her talk show appearance that night.
"She did a backstage interview and hung out with Jim Carrey after the show. The Tonight Show people didn't even know she wasn't feeling well," the source said (via Us magazine).

Selena was supposed to kick off her 10-city tour at Santa Monica Place, but the concert was rescheduled for Monday. As of Sunday morning, the show had not been rescheduled again.

Kristen Stewart Smiles on the Red Carpet at 2011 MTV Movie Awards

Kristen Stewart surprised us all when she actually smiled at the MTV Movie Awards tonight! The starlet looked great in an orange beaded dress with a flirty blowout and black heels.

The starlet was a winner tonight during the show too: She and Robert Pattinson won Best Kiss for the third time in a row! She didn't get a kiss from her leading man, but Rob did give a kiss to Taylor Lautner after running down to him in the audience. Oh my.

The 2011 MTV Movie Awards on June 5th at 9 EST promise a fun, light-hearted cinematic night with SNL host Jason Sudeikis. Some highlights to watch out for: Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson being in the same room, Emma Watson giving a first-time sneak preview of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and a much-anticipated Best Kiss Award. The youthful evening will also feature an appearance from mid-scandal celeb Blake Lively and performances from Lupe Fiasco, Trey Songz and the Foo Fighters.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Meet with the Obamas!

President Obama and Michelle might not have been invited to the royal wedding, but they've earned themselves an even more intimate affair with the famed couple. During a two day trip to England, the presidential couple and Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had a nice four-way chat in the Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.

Kate looked extra-slim in a nude Reiss dress as she chatted with an animated, pastel-adorned Michelle Obama. Maybe she's taking some cues from the thrifty shopping First Lady. The fitted dress retails for $340, which in the royal world equals pennies!

For their short visit in England, Michelle and President Obama are being treated like royalty by the Queen herself. In a rare gesture, Queen Elizabeth invited the couple to stay in the 6-room suite at Buckingham Palace where Kate and William spent their wedding night. But an unnamed palace aide says they will not be sleeping in the same bed. Phew...we were so worried.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Return from 10-Day Honeymoon in Paradise

Alas, Prince William and Kate Middleton are back in the real world after spending their 10-day honeymoon in the exotic island nation of Seychelles. 

William and Kate "thoroughly enjoyed their time together, and they are grateful to the Seychelles government for their assistance in making the honeymoon such a memorable and special 10 days," a statement released by the palace read (via People.com). 

"Memorable" probably only begins to describe it. The newlyweds were treated like royalty (er, even more so than usual...) after being helicoptered to a private island where they were put up in a secluded, oceanfront villa for their stay. Few details about the exact accommodations have been released, but we're sure their trip was straight out of a fairytale, kind of like their wedding.

Now that these two are back in London, Prince William will return to work as a search and rescue helicopter pilot while Kate presumably gets used to being a duchess and prepares for some big royal shindigs. Queen Elizabeth's 85th birthday celebration is in June, as is Prince Philip's 90th birthday party. 

Shock of the Day: Kristen Stewart Thinks Vampires Are 'Sexy'

Kristen Stewart had better think vampires are sexy, you know, since she's dating the sexiest vampire of them all, Robert Pattinson. Okay, so we know RPattz isn't really a vampire, but KStew fell for her man while he was playing one, so it totally counts...

The actress has never admitted that she's dating her co-star, but she did admit she thinks vamps are way hot -- meaning Rob's way hot, right? She said: “Vampires are very sexy. I think it’s because they’re meant to draw you in just to the point where they can then kill you. It’s like a forbidden fruit. If it’s something you can’t have, then naturally you just want it more. Maybe that’s why I was drawn to the role of Bella in Twilight.”

But, Kristen threw a wrench in our Robert = vampire association when she said she wouldn't want to meet a vampire in real life. She added: “I wouldn’t like to be confronted by a real vampire, though, as they can read your mind!”

Jordin Sparks Tweets Photo of Slim Bikini Bod

Jordin Sparks has lost some weight recently, and she'd like the public to take note.

The former American Idol winner pulled a Miley Cyrus on Sunday, slipping into an itty bitty polka dot bikini to take a camera phone picture of herself in a bathroom mirror. Sparks then tweeted her duckface MySpace-appropriate photo to her 870,000 followers, writing, "I don't know why but my bathing suit reminds me of fruity pebbles."

Sparks' urge to overshare is understandable—she is looking good, and what fun is that if there's no one around to talk about it? But it's also hilarious behavior from a former purity ring-wearer whose ex-boyfriend's naked photos leaked onto the Internet just last month. 

Lady Gaga Giddy For 'Glee'

Lady Gaga is giddy for Glee. The musical FOX show dedicated an entire episode to the wild Lady last week, and Gaga loved every minute of it! 

The 25-year-old pop phenom went to Twitter to praise the show for "being brave+fighting for such modern social messaging." And while Gaga probably won't have an entire episode dedicated to her again anytime soon, she nevertheless hopes the show doesn't stop putting out great content. "Never back down," she added. 

Gaga is having quite the week of free advertising. First she got the Glee treatment last Tuesday, and now, this week, the music video for her song "Judas," is set to premiere on American Idol. 

Are AnnaLynne McCord and Kellan Lutz Back Together?

AnnaLynne McCord and Kellan Lutz can't seem to quit each other! These two have been on-again, off-again over the last few months and after they were spotted laughing and smiling at LAX this week, it seems as though they're an item again.

The two were seen making their way through LAX together on Tuesday night and headed to Vancouver, where Lutz is filming Breaking Dawn with the rest of the Twilight cast. "They were playful with each other," a witness said (vis Us magazine). "Laughing and smiling at everything!"

The 90210 actress and her Twilight hunk called it quits in the fall of 2010, but were seen together at a hotel a few weeks later, and then they embraced for the cameras at a party not long after that. So, perhaps they never split at all! 

Even if these two are really back together, they probably won't talk much about their relationship. They never have. Kellan's most revealing interview about his then-girlfriend gave little insight into their relationship: "I've known her for six years, and we met again on the set [of 90210], but we shot Abercrombie [catalogs] way back in the day," he said in late 2009. 

Vanessa Hudgens Was NOT Doing Drugs at Coachella

First it was the naked photo scandal, and now Vanessa Hudgens is under fire for being a druggie at Coachella this weekend. But, she's not -- it's just a sweet tooth, her rep says.

At the hippie fest, Hudgens was photographed reaching into a bag and licking conspicuous white stuff off her fingers, which everyone concluded was a certain substance. Drugs are almost as ubiquitous as ethereal flowy skirts and '60s jewelry at the music festival, but cocaine for Hudgens? Not so much. Try melted white chocolate, her rep told E!.

There's one constant amidst Hudgens' scandals: she's got a boy to back her up! New beau Josh Hutcherson, who took in the weekend's performances by her side, is filling ex Zac Efron's shoes very well by supporting her...and trying to look like a hipster himself.

Reese Witherspoon: Robert Pattinson Fans are 'Very Dedicated'

Reese Witherspoon definitely felt like second fiddle to Water for Elephants co-star Robert Pattinson last night at the film's New York City premiere. The fans go absolutely nuts for the Twilight actor, and Reese is more like the "consolation prize," as she says.

Reese stars alongside the Twilight actor in the new movie and when they both showed up at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City, she said she could tell the hoards of fans weren't exactly waiting for her. She said: “Rob’s fans are very dedicated to him and they will turn out anywhere for him. I think I’m just the consolation prize for them!”

Even though the screaming teenage girls are there to see the handsome actor, Reese still thinks it's important to interact with fans. She said: "I think it's incredible because as movie actors we sort of work isolated and we don't get to see fans as often, so it's a nice experience to actually get to meet some of them and know they're excited for the film."

Luckily for fans, Rob made it to NYC just in time for the premiere after having to fly from the Twilight: Breaking Dawn set in Vancouver, Canada to get there. He said at the premiere: "It was a mad rush to get here.”

Other stars to attend the premiere included Robert and Reese’s fellow co-stars Christoph Waltz and Hal Holbrook

Whitney Port: High Heels Make Me Feel 'Sexy' and 'Skinny'

If Whitney Port needs a bit of a confidence boost, all she needs to do is slip on a pair of heels and she's instantly back to feelings "sexy." Easy as that!

She said: “Slipping on a pair of stilettos instantly makes me feel sexy, skinny and tall. I always try and break them in by walking around in them at home and I’ll scuff the soles so I don’t slip. Buy gel insoles too – they saved the day at my sister’s wedding.”

The former City also says she looks for statement pieces to spice up her outfits when she needs a little extra pizazz. She explained: “I love gold or silver hoop earrings, but the goal is to find one ‘wow’ piece that will work with a multitude of different outfits. I often wrap a gold or silver necklace around my wrist as a boho bracelet.”

Jennifer Lawrence Dresses Down for New 'GQ' Pictures

Coming off an Oscar nomination for Winter's Bone, Jennifer Lawrence is a hot commodity. She just recently beat out some A-list competition for the lead role in the upcoming Hunger Games movie, and in the new issue of GQ, she proves she can look as hot as any 20-something actress out there.

Jennifer's sexy GQ poses come as the young actress prepares to take over theaters this summer. She'll appear alongside Mel Gibson in The Beaver, which will likely lead a very short box office life in May, and (more importantly) she plays Mystique in X-Men: First Class, which comes out June 3.

X-Men director Matthew Vaughn saw fit to use a little off-color language while talking up the burgeoning star in GQ.

"There are a lot of young American actors right now who haven't got any technique," he said. "And to be blunt, a lot of these kids assume that just by having a good set of teeth and tits, smiling for the camera's gonna be enough. I needed someone who could act."

KeSha Protests Against Seal Hunt

 The "Take It Off" singer features in an advert for animal rights group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) to bring attention to the annual slaughter of the baby mammals on the ice floes of Canada for their pelts.In the print ad, a picture of the 24-year-old pop star can be seen along with an image of a seal pup accompanied by the slogan "Canada's Club Scene Sucks".

PETA intends to display the poster at various music festivals and at Ke$ha's concerts to draw attention to the hunting of the animals.The organization also wants the singer's fans to write protest letters to the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper urging him to ban seal hunting.

Ke$ha has spoken out about her feelings on the "archaic" practice and admits she fell in love with aquatic mammals after seeing them in the wild.She said, "I was lucky enough to get to watch a bunch of wild seals recently and truly fell in love with these amazing creatures."

"Canada gets to be host to harp seals each year during their migration to the ice to give birth which is beautiful and peaceful. But because the babies' fur is so soft, there are people who club and brutally kill these young animals. The Canadian seal slaughter is barbaric and archaic."

The hunt takes place every year during the birthing season and sees thousands of the animals killed before they are a month old. A limit on how many animals can be killed is set by the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). 

Robert Pattinson Was Not Sexy While Filming 'Water for Elephants' Love Scenes

Robert Pattinson commands the lust and admiration of girls around the world, but Reese Witherspoon says her love scenes with the British actor in Water for Elephants left her disappointed. That's because Rob was apparently suffering from the most disgusting cold ever during the shoot.

“Rob possibly had the most hideous horrible cold of any co-star I’ve ever had to do a love scene with ever in my entire life," Reese told intouchweekly.com. "I’m going to say it’s a little bit of a downer. I was a little disappointed. It wasn’t sexy.

“He was literally snorting and snotting through every second of it – and it was not appealing. I’m talking green, infectious, disgusting – I’m not kidding!”

Their unfortunate timing aside, Rob has had nothing but good things to say about filming the movie, especially since it doesn't involve loads of make-up and yellow contact lenses.

“It’s nice to be able to actually touch your face without thinking you’re going to get a huge smudge mark over it," he said. "Not having a big kabuki mask on and contacts lenses for ‘Water for Elephants’ was a totally different experience.”

Gael Garcia Bernal Welcomes a Daughter!

It's a girl for Motorcycle Diaries star Gael Garcia Bernal and Argentine actress Dolores Fonzi. The couple welcomed their second child, baby Libertad, and the actor announced the good news on his Twitter page.

"We share with you that our daughter was born. Libertad, her name. Libertad!" Bernal, who once dated Natalie Portman, wrote (via Us magazine). "After the best week of my life -- it just keeps getting better -- I thank you infinitely for your congratulations."

The couple already has a 2-year-old son named Lazaro.Congrats to the happy family!

Jennifer Lopez Reveals the Key to Body Confidence

Jennifer Lopez is smokin' hot at 41. The mom of 2 still flaunts her midriff, wears dresses as tight as Kim Kardashian's and even higher heels, and is an overall bombshell -- but, she doesn't always feel that way. The singer says it's easy for her, and women in general, to forget their self-worth so she has a few tricks of her own to keep feeling good about herself.

She said: “I know it’s hard for women to tap into that feeling of self-worth. We need to get the message out that you are valued, you are a goddess and don’t forget that. It’s about stopping those thoughts of negativity and insecurity. I think changing that and really recognizing yourself triggers control of how you feel, so you’re able to go, ‘No, I’m awesome man, I’m amazing, there’s nobody like me.’ I think that’s the big secret to body confidence.”

Despite her positive outlook, Jennifer admits she can’t help but worry about negative opinions and responses to her work. She told Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine: “It’s easy to let negative stuff get to you. I’m no different to anybody else. If I’m performing for 200,000 people and there’s one person near the front row who’s not enjoying themselves, it’ll be that one person who’s going to bother me. That’s why it’s important to remember you’re special, so those messages register more than the few negative ones.”

Johnny Depp Calls Penelope Cruz a 'Loyal and True Friend'

Johnny Depp only had nice things to say about his dear friend Penelope Cruz while she was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday. The actor called her a "loyal and true friend" and "phenomenal mommy" during his speech at the ceremony. Aww!

The actor said about his Blow co-star (via People.com): "She's an inconceivably phenomenal mommy, which I've witnessed firsthand, and it's pretty incredible. She's as loyal and true a friend as anyone could ever dream of and I'm very privileged to be able to have her in my life."

The friendly feelings are mutual. Penelope thanked her actor pal in her acceptance speech. "I came to Los Angeles for the first time in 1994. I spoke no English. I only knew how to say two sentences: One was, 'How are you?' The other was, 'I want to work with Johnny Depp,' " she said. "In the last 10 years I've worked with him twice, and that has improved my English."

Penelope gave birth to her first child in January, and hubby Javier Bardem was also present at the unveiling Friday to support his gal. She's the first Spanish-born actress to get her own star and thanked her family in her speech, "and of course my wonderful husband and my son for making me so happy every day" she said.

Are Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth Rekindling?

Is Miss Miley Cyrus off the market again? The actress has reportedly rekindled her relationship -- or at least is making an attempt at it -- with ex flame Liam Hemsworth. A source told E!: "They've been hanging out a lot. They've been trying to do it away from the cameras."

Apparently the two have realized they still have some unresolved feelings for each other and want to give their romance another go. Just recently, Miley announced that she is "not single." Now we get why!

Miley has been entertaining love with another hot Aussie -- her So Undercover co-star Joshua Bowman, with whom she was "inseparable" at the flick's wrap party, but there's only room for one Australian lover!

She told an Australian radio show: "I don't want to cross out the Australian boys but I may or may not be single ... I love Australian boys though obviously. Liam and I are very close, I'm not going to comment too much, but you guys don't have to worry about that ... I'm definitely not coming to Australia single."

Sounds like she might be trying to sort out her romantic feelings, but one thing seems certain: she won't be flying solo anytime soon!

Avril Lavigne Catches Waves Down Under

Avril Lavigne has been putting her time in Australia to good use by brushing up on her surfing skills. The "What the Hell" singer (and StyleBistro guest editor!) has been down under promoting her new album, Goodbye Lullaby, but she found time to catch a few waves today.

Avril wrote on Twitter: “Just surfed on a 4 ft wave on a 7ft board in manly OZ. My smallest board and biggest wave to date !!! I'm tired now haha. Gonna upload WTH.TV soon of me surfing :)"

A couple hours later she made good with a picture of her waiting for a wave on a lime green surfboard while wearing a baseball cap and (unbelievably) her signature dark eyeliner. She wrote: "Here is a picture of me surfing today in Australia at Manly Beach."

Avril also found time to hit Sydney's famous Taronga Zoo, where she was overjoyed to get an up-close and personal introduction to some Australian wildlife. She wrote: “Omg just went to the zoo and got to touch koala bears and kangaroos!!!!!"

Next Up for Jennifer Aniston: Directing!

Jennifer Aniston is used to being in front of the cameras, and now she's going to get another chance to make some magic behind the lens. She's slated to direct a short film about breast cancer for Lifetime's five-part anthology, Project Five.

Four other stars will also get to try the directing thing for the same project, and three of them have been named: Alicia Keys, Demi Moore, and Monster's Patty Jenkins. The fourth gal has yet to be revealed.

Jen is definitely excited about the project -- both the new gig and the film's message. "Our hope with Project Five is to entertain, inform and inspire dialogue, research and prevention. Otherwise, our goals are small," she said in a statement (via Us magazine). "We want these films to move people and empower those affected by breast cancer to stand tall through this challenge, which impacts all of our lives, no matter who we are."

This is her second time in the director's chair: She worked behind the camera on 2006's Room 10, starring Robin Wright Penn and Kris Kristofferson.  "After you get enough movies under your belt you sit back and go, 'What's next?'" she said about the gig in a past interview. "It's getting to a time where creatively I want to turn in a different direction."

Vanessa Hudgens Gets Her Party On in Las Vegas

Sure, Vanessa Hudgens' latest flick Sucker Punch opened to abyssmal reviews on Friday. But the former Disney starlet certainly didn't let that get her down on Saturday night, when she hosted a party at Las Vegas' Pure Nightclub at Caesar's Palace.

Vanessa, outfitted in a snakeprint dress and far too many chains, seemed to really enjoy herself at the bash. She is presumably having a lot of fun being single, although some believe she's been cavorting with her Journey 2 co-star Josh Hutcherson.

Robert Pattinson Calls Justin Bieber Out on a Lie

You might think Robert Pattinson and Justin Bieber are brothers in much-beloved hair, but it appears it just isn't so.

Bieber recently told UK tabloid The People that he and Pattinson bonded at an industry party over their famous locks, saying, "One day Robert Pattinson came up to me at a party and said, 'For whatever reason, people love our hair and it's always a great ice-breaker with girls.'"

"He is like, 'Hey, my name's Robert. Want to touch my hair?' I thought he was joking, but it really works."

Now Pattinson, who is hard at work promoting his upcoming film Water for Elephants, says that encounter never happened. He told MTV (via EOnline) on Friday, "I've never met this guy. I saw that as well. I was like, 'You're really famous, man—what are you doing? You don't need to use me to make up stories!"

Maybe Bieber was just embellishing for the sake of avoiding talking about his private life. Which is something you'd think Pattinson would understand, given the constant speculation about his relationship with his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart.

Selena Gomez Looking Pretty Grown-Up at The David Letterman Studio

Selena Gomez waved to fans as she arrived at a taping of The Late Show with David Letterman on Monday. We wonder if she gushes about beau Justin Bieber...or maybe she'll stay totally mum.

She recently said about Bieb's crazed fines who have said many-a-hurtful things about Gomez: "It's hard. It hurts, it really does. I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong. I've been best friends with him for a very long time. It does hurt my feelings a lot but I try not to focus on it. I have a strong family and great fans."

But she's no stranger to getting extremely excited over a teeny bopper boy. When she was younger, she cooed over then-hearthrob Jesse McCartney, and was also very jealous of his girlfriend, Katie Cassidy.

"I loved Jesse McCartney. I was obsessed with him. He dated Katie Cassidy when he was 16 or 17. I hated her, absolutely hated her. I was mortified that he was with Katie and I wanted to be with him. He was my screen-saver!" she said.The crazy thing pre-teens will do for puppy love.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel love separation is confirmed

If you want to get a giggle out of Amanda Seyfried, don't be afraid to go blue.The Red Riding Hood actress admits she has a “sick” sense of humour and is rarely shocked by dirty jokes.

She said: “I think it comes from the morbid sense of humor my sister has. I love sick jokes. I can’t tell you, but what I will say is that nothing shocks me. Really nothing. Gross things make me laugh like a 12-year-old. Penis jokes make me laugh.”

Schools, videos, abstinence … It was just made out to be this very scary thing. My parents aren’t very religious anyway, so that wasn’t part of it. I think it was just the society where I grew up which made me look at it wrong. Also there were a lot of girls who got pregnant at school so that was terrifying.”
