Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault grabbed a late night dinner at Bouley in NYC yesterday. Earlier in the evening Salma stopped by the National Board of Review Awards as the next stop on her award season circuit. While we wouldn't mind getting a few details about Salma's relationship status with her maybe fiance, for now we'll settle for watching her relationship with Alec Baldwin on 30 Rock.

Oprah smoked crack?

Her ex-lover (and yes, it's a guy) reveals to the National Enquirer that Momma O smoked some crack cocaine with him in the past.

Oprah herself has confessed in the past that she briefly used cocaine back in the 70s, though she blamed it on her "desperate obsession" with an ex who was a drug user. However, Randolph Cook says Winfrey was using drugs and smoking crack back in the 80s!

Well, I think she would have been thinner in the 80s had that been in the case. And I also think any sources would have been able to go to media more legit than the National Enquirer if there were any validity to this story.

Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis reveal they are finally getting married! The couple who have been together for 10 years and have two children together are planning to tie the knot in a chapel on the grounds of their $1.25 million French estate in late April.

While I'm happy for them I will also tell you I am insanely jealous!

Beyonce will provide the vocal styling for Barack and Michelle Obama's first dance on inauguration night, but will she perform one of her chart topping hits?

According to the Associated Press the Presidential Inaugural Committee hopes to keep the song selection a mystery.

Warner to open superhero film March 6 -- Warner Bros. and Fox have settled their very public battle over "Watchmen." A deal has been hammered out that that gives WB some face-saving points, but which gives Fox the equivalent of a movie star’s gross participation.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden kicked off a new fundraiser for the Richie-Madden Children's Foundation at a Marble Slab Creamery yesterday in LA. With their new effort, if you text the world "child" to 90999, a $5 donation charge will be sent to the foundation and automatically added to your phone bill. While at the event, Nicole and Joel couldn't help but gush about their inspiration for all the giving back — Harlow.

Donatella Versace attended Marc Anthony's surprise birthday party for his 40th birthday at NYC's Bowery Hotel on Sunday. The designer brought along her 22 year old daughter, Allegra Beck Versace, who has made headlines for the past few years due to her major eating disorder.

Donatella and Allegra released a joint statement last year admitting Allegra's health problem, and said she was being treated at UCLA's hospital for anorexia. The anorexia announcement came days after a tab claimed Allegra's weight had dropped to 70 pounds.

I am pleased to know she has been seen out and about. I certainly hope she is receiving the proper help. =o)

Bloomberg LP, whose best-selling financial news and data terminals are ubiquitous on Wall Street, is trying to reassure jittery employees that it will weather the financial storm after the failure of one major client and the sale of another.

I love when the cast of a show acts like one great big family - the kind that shows love by making slanderous comments and jockeying for position. Felicity Huffman, 45, recently squashed rumors of a Eva Longoria pregnancy by saying that she was just fat.

"She's just fat, that's all there is to it!"

My guess is she now weighs 100 lbs and this is considered fat in Hollywood.

So far Sarah Palin is getting an "F" with celebrities. I think about 20 people have come out and bashed her. Lindsay and Sam posted a rant on Linz's official MySpace page denouncing the VP candidate and calling her a "narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe."

They further discussed Sarah's lack of qualifications, once again, in a surprisingly intelligent manner. Samantha must have a bit of a brain upstairs handling the writing duties for the duo.

"I find it quite interesting that a woman who now is running to be second in command of the United States, only 4 years ago had aspirations to be a television anchor. Which is probably all she is qualified to be… Also interesting that she got her passport in 2006.. And that she is not fond of environmental protection considering she’s FOR drilling for oil in some of our protected land…. Well hey, if she wants to drill for oil, she should DO IT IN HER OWN backyard. This really shows me her complete lack of real preparation to become the second most powerful person in this country."

BAHAHAHAHAHA!

Crazy celebrity diet...

Boiled Egg Only Diet - During the filming of "Cold Mountain," there were rumors that one famous actress on set ate only boiled eggs. She would rise in the morning and eat one and then have one or two at the end of the day. That was her entire diet! Could this be Renee Zellweger??

Master Cleanse / Lemonade Diet - Water mixed with maple syrup, lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Beyonce admitted following this regimen for two weeks to drop 20 pounds for the film "Dreamgirls." Jared Leto used it to shed about 30 pounds he gained to play Mark Chapman in the new film "Chapter 27."

WHAT!

Move over Angelina and Ashlee because Beyonce Knowles is going to be adding her name onto the celebrity mommy list.

Reportedly, all the wedding guests - friends and family - know the truth. So which one (or two) of them are the "multiple sources" Hollyscoop claims to have spoken with?

It's suggested in one report that Beyonce's "strong Christian beliefs" spurred the quickie trip to the altar.

We know Paula has been irking people plately. Some have even actually written into the show and asked her to be removed as a judge on American Idol.

"Idol" Executive Producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz told the Hollywood Reporter this week that the "Idol" judging/host lineup will remain the same.

"We are constantly looking at the show with an eye towards improving the viewing experience," she said. "However, after seven seasons on air as the most popular show on television, one thing is certain: Randy, Paula and Simon are, and will be, our judges, and Ryan is, and will be, our host."

So did they or didn't they? Did Jay-Z marry Beyonce last night and why does everyone and their grandmother feel so giddy about this topic? People get married all the time, especially celebrities! Heck, they get married 3, 4, 5 times during their life!

I don't know. Maybe they did have a ceremony to officially tie the knot last night in New York. But I can guarantee you there will be something much bigger in store for them later down the road. There is no way those two are going to get married on the fly like that without later having a HUGE ceremony elsewhere.

You have to admit it is wicked smart of them to handle it this way though. Not denying, not confirming, just letting the entire world whisper. The publicity went through the roof. Not one magazine published without some sort of mention of the possible nuptials.

So if they told a few select friends they were having a party and then once everyone got there and the doors were closed they then explained there would be a wedding taking place, well, that's kind of cool, maybe.

Can someone please explain to me why Miley aka Hannah looks so awful? She looked like she had eight pounds of makeup on and had been crying so her face was swollen. What's wrong, is she sick? I'm concerned. I have never seen her look so puffy. And please someone pull her aside and tell her to stop puckering her lips for every photo. It is just unnatural. Only Angelina Jolie can pull off the pucker.

Everyone else is talking about the clothes of course and Beyonce's new hair color. Big deal. She could dye her hair pink and I wouldn't feel the need to talk about it. I don't like the hype she gets. Although I am ujpset about Jessica Biel's platinum blonde look, it blends in with her face, she needs more color. =o/

And then there is the news of Amy Winehouse getting a katrillion Grammy awards. Way to go guys, everyone clap for the drug addict and tell her what a fantastic career she has. She'll have little girls everywhere trying to figure out how they can be just like her. Good grief. Why!
