Lindsay Lohan at the 2009 Whitney Museum Gala

I don’t think I’m the only one out there who’s thinking: “What the f*** is Lindsay doing to herself?”

The once gorgeous, fresh-faced starlet now looks positively ravaged and beaten down. Her skin which used to be unblemished and radiant now looks like it’s been stretched and browned in the oven. And her lips! It goes to show, no matter how much make-up and designer togs you wear, you can look horrible if you’re doing bad things to your body.

Kim Kardashian

Ok, here are just some gratuitous pics of Kim Kardashian from FHM South Africa – looking gorgeous as ever.

Madeline Zima in FHM

Madeline Zima a.k.a Little Gracie from The Nanny looking very grown up in FHM. Madeline Zima stars in Californication as the sexually precocious teenager who seduces and attempts to blackmail David Duchovny’s character, but the actress is best known for her six years as Grace Sheffield on the TV Series The Nanny.

Here is a screen shot courtesy of The Superficial.com of Madeline Zima kissing Hayden Panettiere on Heroes. Could this be a publicity ploy by the producers of Heroes to boost viewership? Zima recently joined the cast of TV Series Heroes as Gretchen, Claire Bennett’s quirky roommate.

Lady Gaga - Annual Hot 100 Rolling Stone (June 2009)

Do I really need to tell you how much I adore Lady Gaga? Not only is she one of the most fashion forward celebrities around, she’s pretty damn talented too.

People have likened her to a young Madonna but I think it’s merely a comparison based on aesthetics and showmanship. When it comes to songwriting abilities, Lady Gaga is in a class of her own. Christina Aguilera clone? No WAY – it’s Christina’s who’s the clone. Born Stefani Jon Anson Germanotta, she is a songwriter by appointment to the Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears and New Kids on the Block, and a protégé of rapper Akon.

You’ve probably heard and seen it all, but here is the acoustic version of Poker Face. Gorgeous:

She has seen her share of less-glamorous times when she dropped out of NYU, moved out of her parents’ house and started performing downtown in the Lower East Side club scene, with bands Mackin Pulsifer and SGBand. Around the same time, she started doing cocaine and performing at burlesque shows. Lady Gaga said her father “just didn’t understand” it, and that he could not look at her for several months. This is an excerpt from the Guardian’s review of her album, The Fame:

“She’s also already a global commercial success. Her single Just Dance has made the top 10 everywhere from Australia to Switzerland and been nominated for a Grammy. It’s a beguilingly compulsive tale of pulling a drug-induced whitey, with a combination of clipped marching beats, sawing electronics and mild R&B flavour that bears a vague resemblance to Nelly Furtado’s Maneater.”

This is her acoustic version of Paparazzi. It takes guts and a whole lotta confidence to do a song just like that. She’s got chops:

I’ve had a walk down memory lane and I can remember one of my favourite songs growing up was written by Mackenzie’s father, the late John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas: California Dreamin’

Kanye West & Taylor Swift

That little incident made it to the gossip columns first, but undoubtedly the entire show was dedicated to Michael Jackson. Celebrities paid tribute to the King of Pop, led by his sister Janet Jackson and Madonna who gave a touching speech referring to Jackson as  ”one of the greatest talents the world has ever known”. She spoke of the time when she invited him out to dinner.
She also spoke about darker times, when he was hounded by child abuse allegations:
“I had abandoned him,” she said. “We had abandoned him, that we allowed this magnificent creature who lit the world on fire to somehow slip through the cracks.”
Watch Madonna’s speech on Jackson in the video below:

Tina Fey

Tina Fey is my definite pick for Best Dressed at this year’s 61st Primetime Emmy Awards. Yes, Heidi Klum may have looked like a sexy pregnant mama in black but Tina Fey wins hands down for overall tasteful elegance.

This black Gucci is seriously kicking some fashionista ass with the gentle yet subtle draping at the back and the beautiful bejewelled embellishment. Tina doesn’t usually do loud and colourful but is always chic. Who says black is boring?
