Celebrity Gossip and Photos

A Vienna art gallery expressed its disappointment after discovering that a visitor it had believed to be Beyoncé Knowles was in fact a doppelganger.

A local radio station admitted pulling the prank on the Albertina museum, which houses one of the world’s largest collections of graphic art.

Erroneous reports first indicated that the music star had sent the double herself for the private tour so that she was free to do some shopping.

The Albertina’s director, Klaus-Albert Schröder, was photographed beaming next to the Beyonce imitator and leading her around the exhibition…

Fake Beyonce looks nothing like the real deal!

Recent (actual) celeb visitors to the museum, which is in the heart of Vienna, include Hollywood stars Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Nicolas Cage.

“We consider it an absolute cheek,” said a museum spokeswoman, Verena Dahlitz. “We had a grain of doubt that it might have been her because she avoided eye contact with the director and she acted a little bit strangely.”

The radio station spent the day with the faux Beyonce double “to see how people reacted when they could get up close to her,” the station marketing manager said.

“But it wasn’t our aim to pull the leg of anyone in particular.”

Unlike last year’s Jamie Lynn Spears impersonator, who ended up filing a complaint against the city of L.A. after standing in for the teen mom at LAX, we don’t imagine this will result in any negative ramifications.

It would be one thing if Jennifer Love Hewitt was simply dating dorky actor Jamie Kennedy.

But must these two gush over their relationship every time they see a camera?!? They’re starting to make Tom Cruise’s couch-jumping appearance on Oprah look calm by comparison.

The latest nauseating lovefest/interview took place at this week’s LG Rumor2 party. Kennedy told E! News about playing games with Hewitt’s mother.

“I go over to her mom’s house to play charades,” the annoying actor said. “I’m dead serious. It’s really true.”

Kennedy added that Jennifer’s brother, Todd, gave his blessing to the relationship, as life is apparently going so well for these co-stars that they’ve been spending a lot of time with each other’s families.

What about starting their own family someday? Kennedy wouldn’t get specific (which was shocking; we figured he’d explain just how he’d take Jennifer Love Hewitt nude and knock her up), but he did praise his girlfriend’s maternal instincts.

“I just think she’d be an amazing mom,” the actor said, as he held Hewitt’s hand. “She’s an amazing person.”

Seriously, Jamie, calm down. We’ve seen The Ghost Whisperer. It isn’t that good.

What happens when edgy celebrity fashion meets swimsuit photos?

That’s actually unclear, as we’re fairly certain that question has never before been asked. But we post the photos at The Hollywood Gossip, that’s for sure!

V Magazine enlisted Mario Testino to shoot six supermodels for its first-ever swimsuit issue. Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen were among those to suit up.

Gisele Bundchen covers the first-ever V swimsuit issue.

Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer are also among the participants in this swim-fashion event. Talk about a star-studded roster from the modeling world.

The much-anticipated issue of the magazine doesn’t hit newsstands until May 6, but we’ve gotten an early sneak peek of Kate and Gisele’s sexy pictures.

Thanks to Susan Boyle and Hollie Steel, we already know that Britain’s got talent.

Turns out, that country has beauty, too.

Americans will soon be inundated with an example of it, as The Alexa Chung Show is set to replace TRL and premiere on MTV in June.

The series will, aptly, be hosted by Alexa Chung, a British TV personality and former model. She’s really pretty. See for yourself:

In her new memoir, Resilience, Elizabeth Edwards reveals she vomited in a bathroom after learning of the affair between her husband, former U.S. Senator and presidential hopeful John Edwards, and weird videographer Rielle Hunter.

When she heard, “I cried and screamed, I went to the bathroom and threw up,” wrote Elizabeth Edwards, 59, who is battling terminal breast cancer.

She says that John Edwards admitted to having an affair with Rielle Hunter just days after declaring his run for president in late 2006 – or nearly a year before the National Enquirer broke the story in December 2007.

Elizabeth does note that when John initially admitted the affair, he “left most of the truth out.” Like the part about possibly fathering her kid, maybe?

To protect her and their three children from scrutiny, Elizabeth says she urged John to quit the race, eventually won by Barack Obama. He did not.

In August 2008, the Enquirer again reported he was the father of Rielle Hunter’s daughter, but this time busted him visiting her secretly at an L.A. hotel.

John was pretty much forced to admit that he hit that after that incident, though he still denies paternity. Elizabeth does not address this in the book.

Elizabeth also takes aim at Rielle, whom she never identifies by name, in writing that Hunter initially seduced her husband outside a fancy New York hotel by giving him the time-honored compliment, “You are so hot.”

What politician could say no to that?

She says Hunter – who was paid $114,000 from his political action committee to produce web documentaries – was nothing more than a sad groupie.

While her own life may be tragic, Elizabeth says, Hunter’s is “pathetic.”

Although she long struggled to cope with her husband’s affair, Elizabeth suggests she forgives John – who she was rumored to have kicked out of the house – and says that they are now on much better terms.

“I lie in bed, circles under my eyes, my sparse hair sticking in too many directions, and [John] looks at me as if I am the most beautiful woman he has ever seen,” the accomplished attorney reflects. It matters.”
