Rose McGowan at amfAR Benefit in Cannes

Now this is a crazy, I dare say heinous, dress.

Pictured: Rose McGowan, 34, wearing a "painted organza Dolce & Gabbana gown" on Thursday at Cannes' annual amfAR Cinema Against AIDS dinner.

Thoughts?

Apparently McGowan had a padded foot cast on underneath all that fluff. She broke her foot after hitting it against a stone doorway on her way to a workout. She said she didn't want to keep her trainer waiting, so she put her foot on ice, worked her upper-body, then went to the hospital. [People]

Now that's idiotic dedication.

Lohan & Ronson on Diddy's Yacht in Cannes

Lindsay Lohan, 21, and DJ Samantha Ronson, 30, have been hanging out A LOT lately. The two have recently become inseparable. And of late they've been vacationing in France.

Also, a photog snapped them doing this



on P. Diddy Daddy's yacht in Cannes on Thursday. I say "this" because I'm not exactly sure what they're doing. They might be kissing or Lohan might be whispering something in Ronson's ear. They might be doing neither. Who cares? Derive what you will.

Look-a-Likes: Natalie Portman & Björk

Don't get me wrong, Portman looks great! Still though.

Today Around the Blogosphere...

LOL! In its June issue Allure magazine published an illustrated guide on how to take a shower!! I know journalists are encouraged to "dumb-things-down" for their audience (which I'm in favor of because me stupid). But really? WTF?!?

To be fair, If I hadn't seen this diagram I probably never would have figured out the part about toweling off.

Check out the Jezebel posting. It's funnier.

Do I Sense a Flava Flav and Thing 2 Break-up?

[VH1]

I kinda thought Flava Flav, 49, had finally found love with Thing 2, 26, this season. They really did seem to have a "connection." After all, he eliminated her, regretted it, brought her back, flew her out to France and ultimately chose her in the end.

But a Q & A session with Thing 2 on the VH1 Flavor of Love 3 blog suggests they're not together.

When asked if she'd seen Flav after the finale. She says, He took me out to Benihana not long after the finale wrapped."

But adds the two haven't seen each other in months because they're working on separate "projects." (What the said projects entail, I'm not sure.)

When asked if she finds Flav physically attractive, she says "Flav isn’t typically the type of guy I go after. I typically go for bigger guys, but being around him, you can’t help but really like him and really feel him as a person."

Code for: NO!

And she did turn down that night cap.

When questioned about what she sees for their future together she says,"I see us having a really great relationship. A good, good friendship, partnership. We’ll be there for each other. We’ll be life-long partners, friends, whatever you want to call it."

Her response to whether the two would move in together, or even into the same city:

"Wherever. He’s a great person. I think it’s going to work out for the best."

The preview for the reunion special does intimate that Flav proposes to someone who isn't Thing 2.

Hmmm.

And, and, and her relationship status on her MySpace is listed as single. Granted she does share the page with her sister.


On a semi-related note, the few minutes I caught of the Flavor of Love 3 un-aired clips episode was some of the funniest shiz I've ever seen!

Myammee reeeeally didn't want to get her hair wet at the water park. First she wrapped her hair in Saran Wrap. Then used TWO bathing caps to cover her head. [The video is A LOT funnier but I couldn't find it]




Info and pictures via the VH1 Flavor of Love 3 blog.

P.S. I hope all this blathering is for nothing. I don't want them to break-up.

Update: I was right. Bla-Dow! Thing 2 and Flav are ovah. Kaput. Flav proposed to his "baby mama" Liz (no connection to the show) during the reunion episode.

Lohan & Campbell on the Ugly Betty Season Finale

Lindsay Lohan, 21, is in the Ugly Betty season finale for all of 30-seconds. But fret not, the Betty-Lohan collaboration isn't over. She'll star in at least five more episodes next season.

Somewhere waay deep-down I'm rooting for her to get her shit together.

Here's the clip.



Moving on, supermodel Naomi Campbell's appearance is also brief; but surprisingly and pleasantly funny.

She plays a softball player on team Elle, Mode's rival publication, on and off the field. As Campbell, 38, steps up to bat, she reaches to answer her ringing cell phone. Consequently, both the people in the stands and the ball players dive to evade the possible wrath of her throw. Alas, she behaves herself.

See it with your own eyes.




And while you're at it, peep this cute podcast with Michael Urie, 27, (Marc) and Becki Newton, 29, (Amanda).







Love them!


BTW: Did anyone else notice that tonight's soundtrack featured nothing but Madonna songs?

Natalie Portman in Givenchy: Hot or Hot Mess?

Pictured: Natalie Portman, 26, wearing a white cut-out Givenchy dress at the amfAR AIDS benefit in Cannes on Thursday.

I like this look. It's unexpected. But what do you think? Hot or Hot mess?

Sharon Stone Flashes her Cooter in Cannes

Okay this has to be intentional. Who does that?!


FYI: Sharon Stone's vag looks like a chode, aka a short fat dong, in the uncensored photo.

Visit IDLYITW for the pics NSFW.

At least she looks hot in her ads for Dior Christal.

That does not look like a 50-year-old.
