    • Throwback Thursday: Amanda Bynes Was an Adorable 8-Year-Old

      Amanda Bynes at 8 (Twitter)Then: Amanda Bynes was already a funny kid back in 1994 when this photo was snapped. The 8-year-old had taken classes at the legendary Comedy Store in Hollywood, and quickly started landing work as an actress in commercials. Within one year, she joined the cast of Nickelodeon's "All That," and within two years she had her own sketch comedy spin-off on the network, "The Amanda Show," which lasted for 74 episodes. Movies such as "What a Girl Wants" and "Sydney White," as well as the CW sitcom "What I Like About You" followed.

      Now: Sadly, Bynes is going through some tough times — even though she insists that she's thriving. The "Easy A" star has spent the past year fighting legal charges from driving infractions that include an alleged hit and run, DUI, and driving with a suspended license. She's also engaged in countless Twitter feuds, and has an apparent obsession with posting selfies in which she's wearing little clothing. She's even stopped speaking to her parents. Last Friday, she

    • Kelly Osbourne: I Want a Golden Globe and Babies, Not a ‘Great Big Vagina’

      (Matthias Vriens-McGrath/Cosmopolitan)There's a reason Kelly Osbourne has a reputation for being a bit of a loose cannon.

      The 28-year-old daughter of rocker Ozzy Osbourne does not hold anything back, no matter the circumstances.

      So in a new interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, she's more than willing to talk about the sensitive subject of her father's recent relapse into drug and alcohol addiction. He admitted last month that he'd fallen off the wagon for the previous 18 months, but that he'd returned to sobriety.

      "I love and respect that he's honest enough to say, 'Yes, I did this. It was my fault.' He's a real man," she says. "Most people would hide, and he doesn't. It doesn't make me love him any less. It took a long time to get to that place, but I understand it now. And my mother does too."

      "We had a TV show about this. Now people are trying to act like it's a new story," Osbourne continues. "It made me break down and cry when my parents rather than the

    • Heather Graham, 43, Heats Things Up in a Bikini

      Heather Graham bares her bod. (Marcio Honorato/Honopix/PacificCoastNews.com)Heather Graham is still hot.

      The "Hangover Part III" actress is as much of a looker at 43 as she was when she first hit the scene in the '80s, and proved it when she flaunted her toned body in a printed bikini during a stop in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday to promote the new comedy.

      Not bad, eh?

      The "Boogie Nights" star maintains her muscular look with lots of yoga. And, you know, just by virtue of being born the impossibly sexy Heather Graham. We're sure she'll still be hot at 80.

    • Snooki Shows Off Fab Post-Baby Abs

      (Instagram)Snooki's not a meatball anymore.

      Former "Jersey Shore" star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, 25, put her toned tummy on display on Saturday, with an Instagram photo of herself in just a sports bra and yoga pants.

      "Finally starting to come together after having a baby in there!" she wrote.

      The mommy of 9-month-old Lorenzo revealed a body even more lithe than the one she showed off in January, when she explained that she had shed 44 pounds since her son’s birth.

      By the looks of her Twitter feed, the reality star did not take a break from her quest to get in fighting shape, even over the holiday weekend.

      "While everyone's getting wastey pants for mdw, my ass is doing cardio at the gym and LOVING it," she wrote on Twitter.

      If she's spending all her former drinking time working out, it's no wonder that the Jersey girl is so toned!

      Barbara Eden had the perfect costume for a fancy fete over the weekend.

      The 78-year-old put on the iconic pink-and-red pants and cropped top that she donned as Jeannie in the '60s TV series "I Dream of Jeannie."

      Eden wore the ensemble as she appeared at the 2013 Life Ball in Vienna, Austria, which bills itself as one of the largest AIDS charity events in the world.

      Every year, thousands gather to watch a fashion show in the square outside City Hall, then 3,780 people with tickets that start at hundreds of dollars apiece attend the upscale dinner inside City Hall, where the partying doesn't end until 5 a.m. Demand for the tickets is high; in 2012, more than 95,000 people requested them.

      Obviously, Eden took the ball's organizers seriously when they encouraged guests to wear "fancy, unusual outfits!"

      She bared her taut belly and sported a braid — just as she did in the old days — while sharing the stage with the night's host Fergie and the man she called her new master, President

    • Julie Bowen: Sofia Vergara ‘Owns the Boobs’

      Julie Bowen hits the red carpet. (Michael N. Todaro/WireImage)As Claire Dunphy on ABC's "Modern Family," Julie Bowen is - how can we put this lightly? - a bit high-strung.

      You get the feeling that finding out one of her kids has something like life-threatening allergic reactions would send her into a tizzy, and wind up with him trapped in a nut-free house for the rest of his life.

      But in real life, Bowen, the mother of three young boys, is pretty relaxed when it comes to parenting curveballs. Like the time she discovered that her then 18-month-old son Oliver, who's now 6, had to be rushed to the hospital after his second time eating peanut butter.

    • Fashion Faceoff: Pippa Middleton vs. Emmy Rossum

      The world has closely watched what Pippa Middleton has worn since we met her.

      This week, the younger sister of Kate Middleton, otherwise known as the Duchess of Cambridge, stepped out in the same sheath that we'd seen starlet Emmy Rossum sport days earlier.

      When they wore it: The 29-year-old royal in-law donned the dress at the Waitrose Summer Party at the Natural History Museum in London on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Rossum, 26, wore the dress while strolling through Beverly Hills last week.

      How they styled it: For Middleton, a pair of peach heels, a nude clutch, and elegant gold jewelry were perfect. Rossum, who wore sandals, added fun accessories by way of a big red bag and a long chain necklace.

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

      (Getty Images)(Getty Images)

      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
