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. 

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.

Miss America Is 'Mature Beyond Her Age'

Newly crowned Miss America, Teresa Scanlan, is very much a Miss: she is only 17 years old. Scanlan is the youngest contestant to win in over 70 years and her parents say they always knew she was wise beyond her years."She's certainly mature beyond her age," her father Mark Scanlan tells the The Lincoln Journal Star. "Most people take her for at least six years older."

Scanlan graduated early from Scottsbluff High School in the spring of 2010 after taking a double load of classes and has deferred enrollment until this fall for Patrick Henry College.Her mother Jamie added: "She's an independent young woman and always has been."

Some think being an old soul may have even hurt her in past pageants: "She didn't win because [the judges] thought she was too mature," Miss Nebraska co-executive director Jay Engel says. "Teresa is very, very well-spoken. She's very intelligent and talented."

The young beauty's platform was "Eating Disorders: A Generation at Risk" and her talent segment was piano, in which she blew viewers away with a rendition of "White Water Chopsticks" which some believed she composed at a professional level.Scanlan will appear on The View on Monday and ring the NASDAQ Stock Market bell on Tuesday.

Angelina Jolie Took 'Manners Classes' to Prepare for 'Tourist' Role

Angelina Jolie  plays a refined British woman named Elise Ward in her new flick The Tourist, and to prepare for the role Angie says she took "manners classes!" She says she just wanted to learn how to slow down and have more poise -- it's not like she's a big slob or anything.


She said: "I'm not completely clumsy or gross, but the character takes her time with everything. I'm an American! I do 10 things before breakfast."

Willow Smith Whips Her Candy Cane Hair Back and Forth

Willow Smith popped out of a Christmas gift box and put on quite a show last night at the LA Live 2010 holiday tree lighting at Nokia Plaza. The 10-year-old whipped her candy cane hair back and forth while dancers dressed as wind-up toys rocked out. Willow's parents Will and Jada cheered her on from the audience.

Willow really got everyone in the Christmas spirit with her jam, even though it wasn't as holiday-oriented as the evening's other performances. No one seemed to mind, though -- after all, everyone needs to really up their swagger this time of year.

Willow tweeted after the show: "Had so much fun at L.A Live's Tree Lighting!! Thanks to everyone who came out and whipped their hair (: You guys were awesome!"

Other stars took the stage last night, too, like legend Stevie Wonder, the Plain White T's and even Jersey Shore's Pauly D had a piece of the action. The event also marked the opening of the outdoor ice rink, so Olympic gold medalist  Evan Lysacck made the first laps around the ice to kick things off.

Khloe Kardashian and her basketball star husband Lamar Odom are looking forward to starting a family, but Khloe thinks her man has a lot to learn when it comes to biology.

In a joint interview with her sisters Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, she told KIIS-FM DJ Ryan Seacrest: "He asked me, 'Can't we just put two in there?' He's crazy, he thinks it's like that easy."

Kim -- who has recently been romantically linked with model Gabriel Aubry -- also admitted that she is currently dating someone, despite previously saying she wanted to remain single after splitting from NFL stars Reggie Bush and Miles Austin earlier this year.
