Kate Middleton Won't Be Making it to That 'Hobbit' Premiere

 
Hopefully Kate Middleton isn't too bummed she'll be missing out on The Hobbit's big red carpet premiere on Wednesday. Less than a week after leaving the hospital, the Duchess still requires some rest. Also in today's celeb news, Nick Cannon and Fergie both revealed intimate details about their relationships, and Lindsay Lohan is facing jail time again. More below.

Kate Middleton to Miss Hobbit Premiere
After canceling a week's worth of scheduled appearances following her hospitalization last week, it was unclear whether Kate Middleton would make it to the London red carpet premiere of The Hobbit. But unfortunately she won't have a chance to partake in the pleasures of Middle Earth on Wednesday.

The Duchess has been suffering the effects of an acute morning sickness known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum. During a weekend appearance, husband Prince William (who will be at the Hobbit premiere as scheduled) joked, "I don't know why they call it morning sickness -- they should call it all day and all night sickness. [Recovery is] a long old process but she is getting there. She feels like it is going to go on forever."

Guess Who Topped Ke$ha's First Week Sales?

 
Given the unrelenting catchiness of Ke$ha's single "Die Young," it's hard to believe her sophomore album Warrior wasn't a smash hit straight out of the gate. While Warrior managed to chart in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 this week, it proved less popular than a handful of older releases — including an album that's been around for a year.

Taylor Swift's Red nabbed the top spot for the fourth non-consecutive week, closely followed by Wiz Khalifa's O.N.I.F.C., which moved 141,000 copies. Rod Stewart's latest collection of mom-friendly holiday standards, Merry Christmas Baby, took the third spot, while One Direction's Live While We're Young held strong at No. 4. In fifth place, Michael Bublé's Christmas proved its staying power, leaving Ke$ha's Warrior the sixth place spot with approximately 85,000 copies sold.

A hit single does not always guarantee strong album sales. Carly Rae Jepsen had the year's most inescapable hit, but her full-length album Kiss debuted at No. 6 with 46,000 copies sold. But don't worry, Animals: With all the airplay it's getting, we expect Warrior to linger on the charts long into 2013.

Jennifer Lopez Combats Engagement Rumors With Her 2002 Hit

Some stars battle wild rumors through their reps, others choose to completely ignore them. Jennifer Lopez opens up her own archives. The singer posted lyrics from her 2002 hit "Jenny from the Block" to cleverly deny she and boyfriend of seven months, Casper Smart, are engaged. "Rumors!!! Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got," she wrote on her website, alongside a picture showing her in a sexy white dress with a naked ring finger.

The lyrics are appropriate for the situation and, perhaps inadvertently, show that she's learned marrying a back-up dancer boyfriend of seven months isn't the best idea. Back when that song came out she was in the process of divorcing her first backup dancer, Cris Judd. The two got married in September 2001 after seven months of dating. By June of the next year, they had called it quits and Lopez was in the process of moving on with Ben Affleck.

Hopefully the singer will give it at least seven more months before embarking on her fourth marriage...

Charlize Theron Shaved Her Head! How Much Money Would it Take For You to Shave Yours?

Actress Charlize Theron is one of our favorites here at StyleBistro HQ. Not only is she just, you know, drop-dead gorgeous, but she's also a brilliant actress and isn't afraid to tackle some, um, more controversial roles (raise your hand if you loved Young Adult as much as we did!).

Yesterday, Charlize was snapped taking her adorable son Jackson to the doctor—and she was wearing a hat... with nothing underneath. That's right, the star whose beautiful locks have inspired tons of other women to go blonde has completely shaved her head—buzz-buzz, dunzo.

According to industry water-cooler talk, Charlize's new look is purely professional—she's set to star as Furiosa in the upcoming film Mad Max: Fury Road.

We'll be bringing you photos of Charlize's actual shaved head as they come through on the wire, but in the meantime, let's discuss: What do you think about Charlize's new hairdo (or lack thereof)? Would you ever shave your head? What if someone gave you a few million dollars? How much would someone have to pay you to get you to shave your head? Let's put it to a poll, shall we.

Minka Kelly Could Possibly Be Dating Wilmer Valderrama

From MLB superstar to a notorious Hollywood womanizer most recently connected to Demi Lovato, Minka Kelly looks to have found herself a new man in Wilmer Valderrama.The picture perfect brunette and Kelly have reportedly been getting real cozy together in Australia, an island nation neither celeb calls home. People reports the two went Down Under to celebrate the grand opening of Sydney's Marquee nightclub.

But don't worry, this isn't just another purely speculative piece involving questionable sources and anonymous quotes. No, they were definitely spotted strolling about Balmoral Beach. Really, there's picture proof.

Kelly, who last dated Yankees slugger Derek Jeter, hasn't commented on the rumors. But she did retweet an Instagram photo the actor posted online, and what would you know, both her and Valderrama appear in the poorly cropped shot. So clearly something's going on.

Listen: Madonna Quotes Cyndi Lauper in New Single 'Girl Gone Wild'

Madonna's been called pretentious many times in her decades-long career, thanks in part to her come-and-go British accent and her glib use of words like "reductive." But when it comes to her music, Madonna can hardly be accused of going too highbrow: Her new single "Girl Gone Wild" is really only notable for its shameless party anthem lyrics ("I'm like hey-ey-ey / I'm like a girl gone wild"). It says something about the emotional depth of a song when Joe Francis starts threatening to sue for trademark infringement.

The Queen of Pop released a lyrics video for "Girl Gone Wild" on Monday, giving fans a sneak peek at racy album artwork created by Mert and Marcus (the famed fashion photography duo have already filmed the song's music video, which is sure to feature Madonna in various states of undress). The Benny Benassi-produced song is typical club fare, save a nod to fellow '80s great Cyndi Lauper with the lyric, "Girls, they just wanna have some fun." The problem is it's not actually all that fun.

Lindsay Lohan to Host 'Saturday Night Live

Lindsay Lohan is staging a comeback. For real this time. So how's she doing it? Well, the previously troubled starlet's starting with hosting Saturday Night Live on March 3. This will be the blonde's fourth time on the show, but her first since 2006. A lot has happened in her life in that six-year gap and we're guessing the folks at SNL will have no trouble finding material to write about for her sketches.

It sounds like Lohan is excited about the gig. She wrote on Twitter today: "SNL! I love @NBC!" Hopefully she'll still be as happy when facing jabs about her past on the show.

But, it sounds like all of those run-ins with the law and jail sentences are behind her. She's due back in court Wednesday, where she'll happily report she's finished another 15 hours of community service and five more psychotherapy sessions. If she stays on this path, her probation will end March 29.

Watch Christina Aguilera Sing at Etta James's Funeral

Christina Aguilera was in rare form Saturday night. The singer wore a conservative (by her standards) skirt suit and teared up as she stood on stage at an L.A.-area church while telling hundreds of mourners of her admiration for the late Etta James.

The blonde delivered a heartfelt speech about her connection to the soul singer, who passed away at the age of 73 on January 20. Aguilera nervously explained her love for James and her music and told the crowd she's performed "At Last" at every single one of her concerts over the last 10 years. "I've aspired to sing like her, to be like her, to emulate her notes and her passion, and the love for what she did," Aguilera said before breaking out into song.

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.
