American Idol winner Jordin Sparks has transformed into a woman right before our eyes. The 21-year-old singer has also shed some major pounds and she’s showing her accomplishment off via Twitter.

Jordin Sparks Launching Her First Fragrance

Sunday, Jordin Tweeted a picture of herself in a polka dot bikini, showing off her 30 pound weight loss:

“I don’t know why but my bathing suit reminds me of fruity pebbles. ”

The singer, who used to model plus-size clothing, has lost the weight with the help of a personal trainer:

“Any time I find time – or I’m not sleeping – he’s like, ‘Let’s work out, let’s do something,’ I’m like, ‘no,’ but he gets my butt up and I’ve got to do it. It’s fun to do that.”

Impressive. Keep up the good work, Jordin!

Nude tones of gold and silver seemed to be the trend of this year’s Metropolitan Costume Institute Gala, which was held in honor of the late designer Alexander McQueen. And it just so happened that three of Hollywood’s top starlets came to the event wearing similar long-sleeved, sleek gowns: Sarah Jessica Parker, Renee Zellweger and Gwyneth Paltrow.

SJP wore a silver McQueen, appropriate for the event, I’d say. Zellweger went with the ever-so-classic Carolina Herrera, donning a gold shimmery number with a scooped back. While Paltrow opted for a backless Stella McCartney number.

So who wore it best? I’m going with SJP. The gown fits her perfectly, her hair looks fabulous, and hello? She’s wearing McQueen to a McQueen event. Doesn’t get classier than that! A+, Parker.

As for Zellweger, I’d give her a close B. I’m not as crazy about this color on her pale skin. And Paltrow, a C. She missed the mark this time. It’s ill-fitting and how many times can you do the long-sleeved and backless thing? Have more fun! You have the body of a supermodel.

What do you think?

Jennifer Lopez truly is the most beautiful woman in the world (Thanks, PEOPLE), and she certainly didn’t disappoint at the Metropolitan Costume Institute Gala honoring the late designer Alexander McQueen.

The American Idol judge, who was accompanied on the red carpet by her husband Marc Anthony, wore a dramatic raspberry Gucci gown. To me, this gown was a perfect example of that you wear to the gala of the year; it had drama, elegance and sophistication.

Prince William may have officially married Catherine Middleton last Friday, but they have put off their honeymoon for now. However, that did not stop the newlyweds from enjoying their first couple nights as newlyweds. According to a rep at the Clarence House they stayed in the U.K. during the first 3 nights.

The two reportedly went back to their own home for a short weekend of r&r. They stayed indoors, and spent the whole weekend as an officially married couple in private. The decision appeared to be made last minute.

I heard that so many people thought they took off for other areas in Britain. It is nice to hear that they wanted to stay in closed doors for their first few days as being newlyweds. After all, the world did watch their royal wedding. At last they could get some privacy by staying home. I wonder how that paparazzi feels about this news?

Just 72 hours after the wedding of the year, Andrew Morton published a book about the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge-Prince William & Catherine Middleton. Mr. Morton who wrote a book about Princess Diana has made a name for himself as a so called royal biographer.

The book is entitled as “William and Catherine: Their Lives, Their Wedding”. It covers their personal lives, along with their wedding. Mr. Morton is hoping that this breaks a record for the fastest publishing of a book  ever done. He has sent in an application for the “Guinness World Records” for printing and publishing a book in 72 hours.

What do you think about Andrew Morton now cashing in on William and Kate? I know much of society felt about him cashing in on Diana’s depressing life. It is a shame that he now sees Diana’s son and daughter-in-law as cash cows.

Now that the royal wedding for Catherine Middleton to Prince William is over now, her wedding dress will go on display. Where it will be on display has not been disclosed as of yet or even a date for when it go on display.

While the place has not been named, many are speculating that it will be either one of the palaces or even the Victoria and Albert Museum. However, wherever it will go I am sure a lot of the world will flock towards it.

Do you think that it should go on public display? Or is that silly of them to do that for a wedding dress, even if a Duchess wore it?

Brandi Glanville, the 38-year-old former model and ex-wife of actor Eddie Cibrian, is rumored to be in talks to join BRAVO’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.  Can you blame her?  If I got dumped for LeAnn “Skeletor” Rimes, I would want to strut my stuff on T.V. too.

According to sources, Camille Grammer and Kim Richards may not be returning for the show’s sophomore season, so show producers may be looking to beef up the plotlines a bit with Glanville and Cibrian’s very public battles over sons Mason and Jake.

US Magazine recently reported that the two boys didn’t even know about their father’s April 22^nd wedding to Rimes until the day of the ceremony.  Not so, says a source close to Rimes, “The boys were told about the wedding three days in advance.”  Oh excuse us!  Three whole days – they must have played an integral role in the planning of the big day!

Nice parenting guys.

You know Brandi, they say the best revenge is living well.  And nobody lives better than a Beverly Hills housewife.

With all the restrictions placed on the cast of the Jersey Shore‘s behavior during their stay in Italia, you’d think they’d at least get hooked up with a plush pad to call home during filming.  But this may not be the case – Oh gosh, I hope it’s not the case!

MTV execs are not releasing any information about where Pauly D, Snooki and the crew will be hanging their hats during season four, not even to the guidos and guidettes themselves!

TMZ has released the only known photo of the rumored location – a snapshot of the cast’s outdoor patio, currently under construction.

The TRUE location where the cast will be staying has not been revealed… but we’re told it wont’ be an apartment…a house… a hotel…or a church.

Part of me really wants to see these kids try and live in a European-sized flat with no hot tub, one bathroom and gasp – no extra bedroom for “smushing”.  And how much do you want to bet that not one of them remembers to bring an outlet adaptor for their hair dryers.  I cannot WAIT for this season to start.

Just as things seemed to be looking up for Kailyn and son Isaac, Lowry’s romance with Jordan Wenner appears to be heading down the tubes.

While neither party can officially comment on the state of their relationship due to contractual obligations, each of the Teen Mom stars individually took to their Facebook and Twitter accounts to make some pretty telling statements.

On Sunday, a clearly very distraught Jordan tweeted,

Why when you think everything is going so well and everyone is happy everything has to change and make everyone miserable :-/

And yesterday posted, “Just when you think things are falling back into place they all crumble back down :-/” as his status on Facebook.

Tear!

But Wenner isn’t the only one who appears to have a broken heart. On Sunday, Kailyn RT’ed,

Even the smartest individual falls for the wrong one, even the strongest individual gets hurt, feels pain.  We’re all human. #Fact

It’s not clear whether Lowry is talking about Wenner or baby daddy, Jo Rivera – who am I kidding, of COURSE it’s clear – have you seen this guy?  I’m throwing in my vote for a Kailyn/Jordan reconciliation!

Beyonce Knowles stunned onlookers on the red carpet at the Metropolitan Costume Institute Gala 2011 honoring late designer Alexander McQueen.

The 29-year old singer walked the red carpet with her husband, rapper Jay-Z, in a very tight-fitting black and gold Emilio Pucci gown. The gown was so tight that Beyonce had trouble making it in the building and had to have help getting up the stairs (see photos).

While nothing has officially been announced, rumor has it that former Pussycat Doll lead singer Nicole Scherzinger will be the host of the reality talent show The X-Factor.

It’s been reported that Scherzinger will join judges Antonio “L.A.” Reid and Simon Cowell on the U.S. version of the hit U.K. show. The third judges slot has yet to be filled, but rumors of celebrities such as Jessica Simpson and Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas have been circulating as possibilities.

In March, Cowell appeared on Ryan Seacrest‘s radio show, praising Scherzinger:

“I absolutely adore her. She’s gorgeous and ruthlessly ambitious.”

She appeared as guest judge on the U.K. version of the show last summer, where fellow judge Louis Walsh gushed about her, saying:

“This girl has the X Factor in every way. She was incredibly impressive and ticked every box.”

There’s currently no talk of a co-host for the singer, but Cowell has hinted in that past that he’d like two hosts for the new American show.

Last night at the 2011 Metropolitan Costume Institute Gala honoring the late Alexander McQueen, the stars stunned on the red carpet. And when we say stunned, we mean we were stunned at just how bad most of them looked.

Let’s get this straight: just because the word “costume” is on the invitation does not mean you can go crazy and act a fool. And most importantly: HIRE A STYLIST. If you had one last night, fire that one, get another one. If you didn’t have one last night, call one IMMEDIATELY.

When I tell you that it was difficult to make this list, I mean there were SO MANY people that should be on this list it’s not even funny.
