    • Throwback Thursday: Teenage Angelina Jolie Strikes a Pose in a Floppy Hat

      Then: Model Angelina Jolie Voight, 15, rocked a hat that was equal parts "Blossom" and Captain Hook during a 1991 photo shoot. Her ensemble was completed with an, um, interesting floral top and slim-fit pants that we're guessing would show too little leg for Jolie's liking nowadays! The daughter of actor Jon Voight was just six years away from her Golden Globe-winning roles in TNT's "George Wallace" and HBO's "Gia," which put her on Hollywood's radar.

      Now: Today, Jolie is a role model on how to have it all. The 37-year-old, who won an Oscar in 2000 for "Girl, Interrupted," shares six children with her fiancé Brad Pitt (who also took some fun pics in his teen years), as well as a respected career in film. When she's not busy with either of those things, she acts as special envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, advocating for people who can't fight for themselves. Last week, Jolie did another good deed when she went public with the fact she recently underwent a preventative

    • Remember Paris Hilton? She’s Working on a New Album … Seriously

      Paris Hilton (Michael Buckner/Getty Images)Here's a name we haven't heard in a awhile: Paris Hilton.

      Remember her? The 32-year-old socialite was the Kim Kardashian of her day — in fact Kardashian was once her sidekick — with reality shows, fragrances, shoes, clothing, and every product you can think of stamped with her name.

      Now the blond hotel heiress, who first demonstrated that it was possible to be famous for being famous, is attempting a musical comeback. Just like Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj, she's signed with Cash Money Records to create a new album.

      At the Cannes Film Festival underway in France, Hilton revealed to Showbiz411 that she's currently recording her second album, which will feature label mate Lil Wayne. Hilton is also working with producer Afrojack, whom she was once rumored to be dating, and expects it to be out by the summer.

    • Check Out Pauly D’s New ‘Gatsby’-Inspired Hairstyle

      Before ... (IDavid Becker/WireImage)and after. (Instagram)Pauly D has got a new 'do.

      Affable "Jersey Shore" star Paul "DJ Pauly D" DelVecchio has traded his trademark big coif for sleek 1920's-style tresses.

      The 32-year-old shared a pic of the look on Instagram Monday with the caption, "#TheGreatDJGatsby!!!"

      The DJ mention obviously references Pauly's primary gig since the "Jersey Shore" gang's party on MTV officially came to an end last December.

      As a result of the reality show, Pauly landed his own docu-series on MTV last year that chronicled his adventures as a DJ, was hired to open for Britney Spears on her tour, and became a regular entertainer at Las Vegas clubs.

      Yeah, buddy! This guy has come a long way.

      But don't expect the hairstyle change to be permanent. He admitted in a 2011 interview that his signature locks have been around longer than it's been legal for Snooki to buy an alcoholic drink.

      "I've had it for a long time; it was just never this long or this crazy" he explained to the Daily Beast. "I used to work at a car dealership

    • Buy Olivia Newton-John’s Fab, Hurricane-Proof Florida Pad for $6.2M

      (Redfin)Olivia Newton-John (WireImage)Sell is the word for "Grease" star Olivia Newton-John.

      The 64-year-old, who played Sandy to John Travolta's Danny Zuko in the 1978 movie, has put her Florida estate on the market for $6.2 million, according to real estate website Redfin.

      The actress and her hubby of five years, John Easterling, 54, are selling their mansion in Jupiter, Florida, located on the southern tip of Jupiter Island in the Atlantic Ocean. Celine Dion, Tiger Woods, and Michael Jordan are just a few of the other stars who have called Jupiter home.

      Built in 2007, the 6,383-square-foot abode features 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and comes with hurricane-impact rated glass and doors throughout, which is key when you live in a hurricane hot spot like Florida.

      Other perks include driftwood cabinets, coral stone flooring, and lush tropical landscaping, which when combined with the surrounding water make it the perfect home base for an afternoon of boating or snorkeling.

      When they wore it: Aniston, 44, modeled the frock at the launch of her Living Proof Good Hair Day Web series in New York City on May 8. The 39-year-old Moss threw it on for a dinner date in London on April 8.

    • Kristen Wiig: ‘SNL’ Is Really Hard to Watch Now

      Kristen Wiig (Paola Kudacki/Harper's Bazaar)Kristen Wiig went out of her way to dress terribly on "Saturday Night Live."

      The 39-year-old actress played the mischievous student Gilly; Judy, the woman with freakishly small hands on "The Lawrence Welk Show"; and a cast of other characters during seven seasons of the sketch comedy program before leaving last year.

      "When people first started recognizing me, they always gave me a second look because they didn't really know what I looked like," Wiig explains in the new issue of Harper's Bazaar. "For a long time it was my job to be an unattractive older woman or a creepy-looking child."

    • Painting of a Topless Bea Arthur Fetches $1.9 Million at Auction

      Bea Arthur Naked (Christie's)Now this is Bea Arthur as you've never seen her before.

      The late actress, who died of cancer in 2009 at the age of 86, was known for sporting an oversized blazer or two in the '80s sitcom "The Golden Girls" and long sweater vests on the '70s show "Maude."

      But a work of art that depicts her as topless sold at a Christie's auction for a whopping $1.9 million in New York on Wednesday.

      The artwork fetched an exorbitant price, even though Arthur never actually posed for the artist, John Currin, whose style focuses on women in the buff.

      Currin created the oil painting, entitled "Bea Arthur Naked," in 1991, based on what he thought Arthur might look like under those clothes during her "Maude" days.

      "I had a vision in my head of Bea Arthur, and I found a picture of her," Currin said, according to the Christie's website. "I was going to put a scarf ensemble on her like that from her Maude days, and I drew the body just to drape it. It was then that I realized that the painting was fantastic as

    • Zoe Saldana’s Weight Revealed on the Cover of Allure

      (Tim Munro for Allure)Sigh.

      Every time we seem to be making progress in the way women are portrayed in magazines, somehow we take a step back.

      The latest reminder that we still have a ways to go is that Allure magazine's latest cover, featuring gorgeous actress Zoe Saldana, describes its cover model as "115 Pounds of Grit and Heartache."

      While that may be true, readers probably didn't need to know precisely how much "grit and heartache" she possesses.

      It's not clear if or how the number fits into the piece since the full interview with the actress has yet to be released but when omg! inquired about the headline, Saldana's rep referred omg! to Allure, who in turn said "no comment."

      Whomever is responsible, the decision to showcase Saldana's digits seems so … unnecessary.

    • Christina Hendricks on Not Wearing Sweatpants: ‘I Can’t Do That to My Husband’

      Christina Hendricks (Ben Watts)Christina Hendricks did not set out to spend her life working alongside beautiful men like as Ryan Gosling and Jon Hamm. Really.

      "I just thought I would work in a hair salon and do community theater," the 38-year-old "Mad Men" actress reveals to Lucky Magazine.

      After working as a model in NYC, Hendricks decided to go for it, and now stars in the critically acclaimed TV show, in addition to movies, such as the 2014 thriller "How to Catch a Monster," written and directed by her "Drive" co-star Ryan Gosling. Lucky girl!

      Hendricks, who married "(500) Days of Summer" actor Geoffrey Arend in October 2009, acknowledges that Gosling is "handsome." However, she says his appeal is deeper.

    • Angelina Jolie’s Relationship With Her Mother, How it Inspired Her Double Mastectomy

      Angelina Jolie made the brave decision to undergo a preventive double mastectomy after learning she carried the BRCA1 gene that made it extremely likely (an 87% chance) that she would get breast cancer or (a 50% chance) ovarian cancer.

      Jolie, 37, was very close with her mother Marcheline Bertrand, who passed away at the age of 56 after losing her seven-year battle with ovarian cancer.

      "She held out long enough to meet the first of her grandchildren and to hold them in her arms,” Jolie wrote Tuesday in an op-ed for the New York Times: “But my other children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was."

      Bertrand lived long enough to meet the eldest three of Jolie and her fiancé Brad Pitt's six children -- Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh.

      Aside from Pitt and the kids they share together, Jolie’s mother was the most important person and influence in her life. Jolie was estranged from her father, actor Jon Voight, for many years after he and Bertrand divorced in 1978. "She raised me," Jolie has said. Bertrand dabbled in acting, but she gave it all up to raise her two children, and it’s clear that Jolie admired her mother’s strength as a single parent.

      Bertrand was a very private person, so Jolie would visit her all the time at her apartment in Beverly Hills, California. When speaking publicly, though, Jolie couldn’t help but praise
