I love being in spaces that are clean and nice.”

“Make your life good. Invest in what’s real. Cook a meal for someone you love. Pause before reacting. Clean out your space. Read something beautiful. Treat yourself to something. Go to a city you’ve never been to. Learn something new. Don’t be lazy. Workout and stick with it. GOOP. Make it great.”

Dorian Leigh Dies at Age 91

Dorian Leigh, who combined pristine blue eyes, curling eyelashes, an arresting intelligence and intoxicating sexuality to become one of history’s most photographed models — perhaps the first to truly merit the adjective super — died Monday in Falls Church, Va. She was 91.

The death was announced by her grandson Thibaut Dubois.

Ms. Leigh graced seven Vogue covers in 1946, according to a New Yorker magazine article of the time, and in the next six years appeared on more than 50 more covers of various magazines, Playbill reported.

Her images in Revlon’s “Fire and Ice” nail polish and lipstick campaign in the 1950s — “For you who love to flirt with fire …who dare to skate on thin ice” — were shot by Richard Avedon and became Madison Avenue legend.

“Dorian was truly the best model of our time,” Eileen Ford, the doyenne of the modeling agency industry, said in an interview with The Roanoke Times in 1997. “She instinctively knew what every photographer wanted, and she came alive just at the moment the shutter clicked.”

Cecil Beaton wrote in his book “Photobiography” (1951) that Ms. Leigh was as demanding as the eminent photographers who shot her, including Louise Dahl-Wolfe and Irving Penn.

He said she could convey many moods, including “the sweetness of an 18-century pastel, the allure of a Sargent portrait, of the poignancy of some unfortunate woman who sat for Modigliani.”

Ms. Leigh’s mystique was enhanced by her many romances, which included five marriages — counting the one in Mexico to a Spanish marquis who turned out to be already married. There were also the many real or imagined affairs with famous writers, musicians and photographers, eagerly tabulated by gossip columnists. Ms. Leigh was definitely attractive, standing 5 feet 5 inches, with an hourglass figure and an alluring smile.

I can’t be too mean to Gwyneth Paltrow — I’m probably one of the few bloggers who happen to think she’s a wonderful actress.

Gwyneth sat down with the ladies of The View to discuss being a working mother and to promote her new movie with co-star Robert Downey Jr., Iron Man.

10 Skinny Bitches Who Used to Be Hot

Too many actresses are believing the line that you can’t be too thin. Please, ladies, eat a sandwich or something at the craft services cart. Here are a special shout-out to ten skinny-ass celebs that used to really turn heads

Thandie Newton
Most recently seen in: Run Fat Boy Run
Last time she was hot: Mission: Impossible II

10 Skinn Bitches Who Used to Be Hot - Thandie Newton - Photo

There was a time that Thandie Newton was the next Hollywood hottie. Then someone must have suggested that she had some jelly rolls, because she lost more weight than a cancer patient on Atkins. Now she looks more like a zero-body-fat lizard than a celebrity beauty.

Victoria Beckham
Most recently seen in: Ugly Betty
Last time she was hot: when the Spice Girls were

10 Skinn Bitches Who Used to Be Hot - Victoria Beckham - Photo

Not that I was a fan of the Spice Girls, but I will admit that they covered all the bases in terms of fantasy girls. But the former Posh Spice has lost so much weight that her once sultry figure makes her look like a lollipop - a wobbly head on a stick. I’m afraid her neck is going to snap and her hubby will kick her head around their flat like a soccer ball.

Jennifer Connelly
Most recently seen in: Reservation Road
Last time she was hot: Requiem for a Dream

10 Skinn Bitches Who Used to Be Hot - Jennifer Connelly - Photo

Can you believe this was the girl from The Rocketeer? Or Dark City? This buxom brunette starts getting some Hollywood credibility and drops down to a size zero. There’s nothing wrong with losing a little pudge, but when you look like one of the starving children from Sierra Leone in Blood Diamond, something’s wrong.

Rachel Taylor
Most recently seen in: Shutter
Last time she was hot: Transformers

10 Skinn Bitches Who Used to Be Hot - Rachel Taylor - Photo

Okay, I really loved her debut in Transformers. Very few ladies in Hollywood could give Megan Fox a run for the money, especially in a two-hour Michael Bay beer commercial. But in Shutter, this girl looked like she hadn’t eaten since working with Bay. She could make it as an up-and-coming hottie, if she actually ate a sandwich.

Kate Bosworth
Most recently seen in: 21
Last time she was hot: Blue Crush

10 Skinn Bitches Who Used to Be Hot - Kate Bosworth - Photo

She just beat the house last weekend in 21, and she banged Superman without being mortally wounded, but I just can’t get over the fact she looks like a 12-year-old boy. It wasn’t hard to hide her nipples in the 21 sex scene, considering she’s about as anorexically flat-chested as Jim Sturgess was.

Ashlee Simpson
Most recently seen in: 2008 Kids Choice Awards
Last time she was hot: 2008 Kids Choice Awards, but still doesn’t look healthy

10 Skinn Bitches Who Used to Be Hot - Ashlee Simpson - Photo

She was the less-cute sister of Jessica Simpsons, but thanks to silicone, collagen, rhinoplasty and crash diets, she now looks like a supermodel. But that’s not a good thing. It might work for a bulimic supermodel, but for a girl who could have been America’s sweetheart, she looks less like her former self than Michael Jackson does.

Angelina Jolie
Most recently seen in: Beowulf
Last time she was hot: Beowulf (hell, they can do a lot with CGI)

10 Skinn Bitches Who Used to Be Hot - Angelina Jolie - Photo

Not too long ago, I saw a tabloid compare photos of Jolie’s scrawny, veiny arm to that of geriatric Clint Eastwood. And you know what? Sometimes tabloids are right. This once hot chick has gotten way too thin. Have you seen the trailers for Wanted? Give me back the Gia days, baby!

Lindsay Lohan
Most recently seen in: I Know Who Killed Me
Last time she was hot: Herbie Fully Loaded

10 Skinn Bitches Who Used to Be Hot - Lindsay Lohan - Photo

Granted, she’s up and down more often than Oprah lately, but let’s blame this on her lack of focus. I saw her nudie shots from New York Magazine. And while I’m impressed with her huge (but obviously fake) knockers, I just can’t get excited about the freckly femme’s whisper-thin frame. She was chubby-cheerleader cute for a while, but just a year or so ago, her weight plummeted, making her scary-thin for a while.

Saffron Burrows
Most recently seen in: The Bank Job
Last time she was hot: Deep Blue Sea

10 Skinn Bitches Who Used to Be Hot - Saffron Burrows - Photo

It’s arguable that former model Saffron Burrows ever really looked healthy. But watching this scrawny, lanky lady tower over Jason Statham in The Bank Job was enough to get her on this list. She made his evil co-star from Transporter 2 look fat. Still, that underwear shot in Deep Blue Sea was pretty nice.

Gwyneth Paltrow
Most recently seen in: The Good Night
Last time she was hot: Se7en

10 Skinn Bitches Who Used to Be Hot - Gwyneth Paltrow - Photo

Anyone who is familiar with me as a film critic knows that I have been highly critical of Paltrow for years. But aside from her inability to act (and so many people’s inability to see that she can’t act), I detest how she is physically wasting away as she gets older. She’s one of those girls that went overboard to lose the baby weight. Now, as she enters her late 30s, that too-thin look is not working for her.

Rob Lowe Accuses Babysitter of Extortion

Rob Lowe Accuses Babysitter of Extortion - Photo

Rob Lowe wrote in a blog on The Huffington Post, about a former employee, who is demanding Rob and his wife Sheryl pay her $1.5 million by the end of the week.

If they don’t pay up? She exposes a long list of dirty laundry.

Rob Lowe writes,

quote1.jpgIt is an attempt to damage and humiliate not only my wife and me, but our two young sons as well. My family is devastated at this betrayal; this woman worked in our home and traveled with us off and on for seven years, without complaint. In fact, she left other jobs to return to work for us three different times. Several weeks ago she quit abruptly, leaving us without a replacement. Within days we received these texts from her explaining her sudden departure:

—— SMS Text ——
From: (phone number redacted)
Sent: Feb 25, 2008 9:47 AM
Subject: Sheryl, I am really sorry.

Sheryl, I am really sorry. I have nothing bad 2 say about your family and really am thankful for what you guys have done for me over the years. I hope we can handle this as friends. I did not leave out of spite or anger, it was just time for my heart to let go. I am embarassed that I just up and left like this but I could not see another way. It was time for me to move on. I’m sure you and rob feel the same. My heart has not been in the job and that is not fair to you or the boys. I have nothing but love and respect for your family and would love to maintain a caring relationship with you guys. You have been a huge part of my life for so many years it will be hard to let go of those boys. I am really sorry Sheryl! Jess Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Does that sound like someone who has been treated badly? Nothing about abuse in the workplace or inappropriate conduct; nothing about discrepancies with monies owed, no explanation as to why she would return numerous times to a job she considered so abusive. Just a correct assessment of her relationship with our family. But clearly, if you are going to demand a million-five for supposed “anguish” suffered in our home, you’d better change your tune fast; so she did.

During her time in our home my wife tried to mentor this young woman. She took her into her confidence. We took her into our hearts. Having 18 years of sobriety, both my wife and I tried to be supportive as she struggled with personal issues. But we never saw this coming. Apparently, she wanted more. Recently, a colleague of hers has come forward to reveal that this young woman had “a crush” on me and told her on many occasions, “I wish he would get a divorce.”

Apparently this isn’t the only complaint, TMZ also reports issues with their chef sleeping in the Lowe’s bed:

quote1.jpgIn complaints filed yesterday, Rob and wife Sheryl claim their former chef liked to get freaky on the Lowe’s bed “with third parties” when the family wasn’t home. The Lowes also allege he broke security cameras and pilfered prescriptions from their medicine cabinet and gave the drugs to others. In the ultimate insult, the Lowes say the chef gossiped about Sheryl, saying she was heartless, cold and “unclean.” The nerve!

What others said:

  • Dlisted says, “The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world! Is it just me or does Sheryl sort of look like Gwyneth Paltrow in a fat suit.”
  • The Superficial says, “”Heartless, cold and unclean?” Really? You can sue someone for saying that? Let’s say someone calls you “Small, tiny and I’d get more pleasure from a Tic-Tac,” how much do you think someone who’s not me could get?”

Coldplay Not As Famous As We Thought

At the Saturday East Hampton screening of Gwyneth Paltrow’s upcoming movie “The Good Night”, Chris Martin had some difficulty getting in. A security guard, who apparently didn’t recognize the Coldplay frontman, “manhandled” Chris when he tried to sneak by the mass of people waiting on the red carpet.

How do you not recognize Chris Martin? Maybe Coldplay is just not as loved as I thought.

Glamour’s Top Sexiest Love Scenes

Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford - The Way We Were (1973) - PIC
The Way We Were (1973)
Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford play a couple who fall for each other because of their differences, then break up because of them, too. This scene catches them at the height of their doomed romance and begs the question, if a nice Jewish girl and a hot WASP can’t make it happen, who can?

Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins - The Blue Lagoon (1980) - PIC
The Blue Lagoon (1980)
Ever tell a guy, “I wouldn’t sleep with you if you were the last man on earth?” Luckily for Emmeline (Brooke Shields)—stranded on a deserted island with Richard (Christopher Atkins)—the last man around was hot.

Richard Gere and Debra Winger - An Officer and a Gentleman (1982) - PIC
An Officer and a Gentleman (1982)
A handsome young Navy pilot-in-training (Richard Gere) picks up a local girl (Debra Winger) in a bar. Takes her to a motel. Rips off her clothes. Devours her. Rewind!

Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay - Risky Business (1983) - PIC
Risky Business (1983)
Tom Cruise plays a college-bound teen seduced by a call girl (Rebecca De Mornay). Their steamiest liaison: on a train. And, no, he didn’t jump up and down on the seat afterward to proclaim his love for her.

Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey - Dirty Dancing (1987) - PIC
Dirty Dancing (1987)
After a summer of flirtation, the oh-so-innocent Baby Houseman (Jennifer Grey) finally gets up the nerve to say “Dance with me” to beefy Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze). Dancing, et cetera ensues—emphasis on the et cetera. No matter how many times you’ve seen this scene, it’s always hot. The time of her life, indeed.

More after the Jump!!
