Picture of Taylor’s new baby…

How weird is it that somebody leaked their hospital family pic?? If I were his wife, I’d be pissed a pic of me looking that bad (which is obviously normal after giving birth) was all over the internets!!
And cute kids, but STOP REPRODUCING HANSON, PLEASE!

And by basics, I mean a wardrobe staple every girl should have - lucite heels!

The other day, we spotted the fur-loving celeb shopping with her personal assistant boy toy in Beverly Hills, and even though we’re not about to go out and buy a pair of the clear plastic stripper shoes, we’ve got to hand it to her for strutting down the sidewalk and making it look oh so easy.
Wonder what they were shopping for?

Am I actually starting to like Jessica Alba? No, that can’t be it! Maybe I’m just easily moved when she wipes that scowl off her face and smiles.

Here’s the Fantastic Four beauty playing with her precious baby Honor in a Beverly Hills park on Tuesday. Damn, I’m jealous - I miss being on the swings!
Jess kinda seems happier now that she has Honor, right? Good for her!

Stop trying to make swimming in the icy waters of Malibu “cool,” Owen Wilson - it’s NOT going to happen!

But seriously, he must be freezing. Right?

Right!

I’m hoping Marley & Me is actually good. Hoping.

Well, both of her babies!

Ben Affleck’s wife was spotted picking up daughter Violet from school in Santa Monica and it looks like Violet’s toy of the moment is her mom’s cell phone! Trust me, Violet, those things will only make you stressed out. Enjoy being a kid for now!

Is Jen ever going to give birth? Like, ever?

If Shauna Sand gained 100 pounds, got bigger implants, dyed her hair black, and wore a little less makeup, she could be Chyna’s twin sister!

Chyna attended “The Wrestler” premiere last night, and the wrestler sparkled in this sequined red mini dress that looks like something straight from Shauna’s closet.
Who would you rather, Shauna or Chyna?

ROBERT BUCKLEY INTERVIEW

Hottie: Robert Buckley

You might know him as Kirby on Lipstick Jungle. But there’s more to this witty charmer than his six-pack abs
Nicole Blades

1. Since your nickname is Man Candy, we had to ask: What’s your favorite sweet treat?

Daytime favorite: Skittles. Nighttime: Twix. I like to mix things up. You wouldn’t wear pajamas to lunch, would ya?

2. On Lipstick, you’re fooling around with Kim Raver’s character, Nico, who happened to be married when you got together. Would you ever cheat or tolerate someone cheating on you?

Never. That is an automatic deal-breaker. Next to hurting my family, cheating on me is the worst thing someone could do.

3. You’re often compared to Felicity’s Scott Speedman. Do you think you look like him?

There might be some resemblance there–on a good day, with the right lighting. He’s a good-looking fella, Scott Speedman. I showed my mom a picture of him and I was like, "Do you think we look alike?" and she goes, "Well, he’s handsome." What kind of answer is that? She’s my mom!

4. Who was your beefcake role model growing up?

Magnum, P.I. Let’s be honest: Who can beat Tom Selleck’s mustache and chest hair?

5. You appeared on The Price Is Right in college. So, let’s play a round of Check-Out: How much does a can of beans cost?

It depends. Maybe 89 cents. Unless they’re barbecue–a lot more ingredients go into that. [Real price: {content}.79 to {content}.99]

Vacuum cleaner?

Fifty bucks? That shows that I’ve never bought a vacuum cleaner. [Real price: 0 for a Hoover Savvy Bagless Upright]

Flat-screen TV?

How big?

Let’s say a Samsung 52-inch.

Hilarious, ’cause I’m looking at my brand-new Samsung 40-inch LCD right now. I’m gonna say ,899. [Real price: ,999]

Person of the Year

You probably sat in a fancier conference room the last time you refinanced or heard a pitch about life insurance. There’s a table, some off-brand mesh office chairs, a bookcase that looks as if it had been put together with an Allen wrench and instructions in Swedish.

To reach this room, you pass through a cubicle farm lightly populated by quiet young people. Either they have just arrived or they are just leaving, because their desks are almost bare. The place has a vaguely familiar feel to it, this air of transient shabbiness and nondescriptitude. You can’t quite put your finger on it …

“It’s like the set of The Office,” someone offers.

Bingo.

It is here that we find Barack Obama one soul-freezingly cold December day, mentally unpacking the crate of crushing problems — some old, some new, all ugly — that he is about to inherit as the 44th President of the United States. Most of his hours inside the presidential-transition office are spent in this bland and bare-bones room. You would think the President-elect — a guy who draws 100,000 people to a speech in St. Louis, Mo., who raises three-quarters of a billion dollars, who is facing the toughest first year since Franklin Roosevelt’s — might merit a leather chair. Maybe a credenza? A hutch?

But he doesn’t seem to notice. Obama is cheerfully showing his visitors around, gripping the souvenir basketball he received from Hall of Famer Lenny Wilkens, explaining a snapshot taken the day he played pickup with the University of North Carolina hoops team. (”They are so big and so fast and so strong, you know.”) Then, since those two items basically exhaust the room’s décor, Obama sits down on one of the mesh chairs and launches into a spoken tour of his world of woes. It’s a mind-boggling journey, although he shows no signs of being boggled — unless you count the increasingly prevalent salt in his salt-and-pepper hair. By now we are all accustomed to that Obi-Wan Kenobi calm, though we may never entirely understand it. In a soothing monotone, he highlights the scariest hairpin turns on his itinerary, the ones that combine difficulty with danger plus a jolt of existential risk. (See pictures of the Civil Rights movement from Emmett Till to Barack Obama.)

“It is not clear that the economy’s bottomed out,” he begins, understatedly. (The morning newspaper trumpets the worst unemployment spike in more than 30 years.) “And so even if we take a whole host of the right steps in terms of the economy, two years from now it may not have fully recovered.” That worries him. Also Afghanistan: “We’re going to have to make a series of not just military but also diplomatic moves that fully enlist Pakistan as an ally in that region, that lessen tensions between India and Pakistan, and then get everybody focused on rooting out militancy in a terrain, a territory, that is very tough — and in an enormous country that is one of the poorest and least developed in the world. So that, I think, is going to be a very tough situation.

“And then the third thing that keeps me up at night is the issue of nuclear proliferation,” Obama continues, sailing on through the horribles. “And then the final thing, just to round out my Happy List, is climate change. All the indicators are that this is happening faster than even the most pessimistic scientists were anticipating a couple of years ago.”

Score that as follows: one imploding economy, one deteriorating war in an impossible region and two versions of Armageddon — the bang of loose nukes and the whimper of environmental collapse. That’s just for starters; we’ll hear the unabridged version shortly.

But first, there is a bit of business to be dealt with, having to do with why you are reading this story in this magazine at this time of the year. It’s unlikely that you were surprised to see Obama’s face on the cover. He has come to dominate the public sphere so completely that it beggars belief to recall that half the people in America had never heard of him two years ago — that even his campaign manager, at the outset, wasn’t sure Obama had what it would take to win the election. He hit the American scene like a thunderclap, upended our politics, shattered decades of conventional wisdom and overcame centuries of the social pecking order. Understandably, you may be thinking Obama is on the cover for these big and flashy reasons: for ushering the country across a momentous symbolic line, for infusing our democracy with a new intensity of participation, for showing the world and ourselves that our most cherished myth — the one about boundless opportunity — has plenty of juice left in it.

Runners-Up (All Political)

People Who Mattered

RDJ

The only thing Hollywood loves more than watching somebody fall is watching the same person get back up again. It doesn’t happen very often. But no one in recent years has fallen and risen more dramatically than Downey, who came back from drug addiction and a stint in jail to lead this summer’s Iron Man to some serious heavy metal at the box office — more than half a billion dollars worldwide. Eyebrow-raising too was his turn as an Australian actor playing a black actor in the R-rated comedy Tropic Thunder. Next year Downey will attempt to breathe new life into Sherlock Holmes. After what he’s been through, it should be elementary.

Tina Fey

Remember when entertainers really mattered? Suddenly they do again. Fey has the best comedy on TV in 30 Rock and scored a hit movie in Baby Mama and a multimillion-dollar book deal; if she’d just sing something, she’d be a shoo-in for queen of all media. But more than that, in 2008 Fey made smart sexy and nerdy cool, and she proved that comedy can still have serious political clout: her winking impression of Governor Sarah Palin defined the governor before she had a chance to define herself.

Stephenie Meyer

Maybe Americans aren’t ready for a Mormon presidential nominee yet. But they’re more than ready to anoint a Mormon as the best-selling novelist of the year. The hero of Meyer’s Twilight series — and hit movie — is a vampire named Edward who doesn’t kill people and declines to sleep with, or bite, his girlfriend Bella. Meyer’s religious upbringing taught her something few writers grasp, that fantasies can be about restraint as well as excess. Sometimes nice girls do finish first.

Michael Phelps

The joke, oft told after he won a record eight gold medals at Beijing’s Water Cube, is that he’s more dolphin than man. And it’s true that Phelps, with his oddly long torso, size-14 feet and nearly inhuman appetite (on intense training days, he consumes 8,000 to 10,000 calories), possesses a body uniquely equipped for the water. In an era when many athletic records are tainted by doping scandals, Phelps subjected himself to extra testing to prove he was clean. He embodied the Olympic spirit in another way: he pledged to use the million he got from the makers of Speedo to start a foundation to help kids succeed in the swimming pool and beyond.

The Others (Mostly Political)

1. Which A-lister is stingy with his pot? Despite having garbage bags full of weed at home, the cantankerous cannabis lover refuses to puff, puff, pass, and shot down a few recent askers who tried to share his joint.

2. I guess she is a C list actress now but with A list name recognition. Anyway, she had her "people" lie to news outlets about her recent trip to rehab. Instead, her "people" gave an exclusive about her rehab visit so she could get a cover story when she gets out of rehab in the hopes of jump starting her career.

3. A year ago, this film star looked bloated, wrinkly and just plain old. Although he strikes you as an egomaniac who couldn’t care less what other people think, he was really genuinely hurt by the negative press. So, he has spent the past year or so buffing up his body. However, since he face was still looking old, he finally succumbed to the scalpel. Something called a thread lift to his face, a neck lift, plus some collagen in his laugh lines and just a touch of botox. Result: his body is in top physical shape again, and his face is far and away the most natural plastic work we’ve seen in a while.
