Now THAT'S acting. Matt Damon is so convincing as a middle aged man in Hawaii in this scene from "The Informant" that we wouldn't have recognized him. The haircut, the glasses, the mustache, the outfit, and the muffin-top add up to a monumental turn-off. We have to give him credit for putting his vanity aside - a lot of actors would NOT have done it.

Victoria Beckham is a big personality and a powerful influence on her friends. She and Kate Beckinsale have gotten very chummy, and Kate 's other friends are worried that Posh might be a bad influence. They say "Kate is getting so skinny that her clothes are falling off of her." Posh's minimal eating habits might be rubbiing off on Kate, who is already thin, and once had a problem with anorexia. Victoria gave Kate some of her dVb jeans and is also urging Kate to bob her long hair and she's considering the idea. (Didn't Katie Holmes just go through all this?) Apparently, Victoria just can't resist making over her friends.

Here's something you don't see in West Hollywood very often. It's Bobby Trendy - of Anna Nicole Smith fame - without a dab of lipgloss and nary a rhinestone in sight! He looks like a total boy! Apparently he was running to the convenience store Famima (which is a great place, by the way) to pick up a few necessities and was surprised by a photographer. Ever the pro, he smiled for the camera.

Even one of People's Hottest Bachelors can have an off-day in the looks department. "Pirates of the Caribbean" heartthrob Orlando Bloom's facial hair, combined with his cold weather apparel doesn't do him justice. Or is it just a bad camera angle?

There's something not quite convincing about this photo of Shia Labeouf on the set of his new movie "New York, I Love You." Now, don't take this the wrong way, but he reminds us of a female to male sex change. Maybe it's the haircut and the facial hair in combination with the unflattering clothes, but he resembles an attractive girl who wants to look like a guy. Kind of like that "guy" on Oprah who became pregnant. Shia's much hotter when he looks like himself.
Never underestimate the power of makeup and hairstyling and wardrobe. This is not a bag lady, it's a very famous and notoriously well-dressed actress. She's leaving her home early in the morning for a magazine photoshoot where she will be turned into a dreamy confection.

Usually we love Pink's style but we're not so sure this time around. It looks like parties are the LAST thing on her mind. She reminds us of SOMEONE in this airport photo but we can't figure out WHO. Who do YOU think she resembles here?

Is Oprah surreptitiously giving Barack Obama a mini-makeover? She's doing everything she can to make him appealing to voters - and that includes turning him on to her longtime hairdresser Andre Walker.. Walker is responsible for Oprah's much admired parade of hairstyles through the years. Oprah sent Barack to Andre for color and cut. Walker is reportedly "minimizing" Barack's gray hair - which is odd because some people complain that he's too young to be president.

Wow. We've never seen Bijou Phillips look this beautiful before. Bijou the "wild child" always looked like a little hippie girl who took too many drugs. Especially when she was dating Sean Lennon. Everything changed when she met the right guy: Danny Masterson. Friends credit Danny (That 70's Show) with getting her to clean up and quit partying and concentrate on acting. She's making one movie after another and her latest hit is Hostel: Part II. Danny bought a lavish house in Benedict Canyon so they can live together - hopefully happily ever after.
Having been fashion obsessed for decades, we were astonished when we saw a recent photo of French designer Thierry Mugler at The WOW Report. The once tall, slim ballet dancer-looking designer is now a GARGANTUAN muscleman. A friend of his told us that when he stopped doing collections some years back, he decided to "reinvent himself" and "change his whole persona." Thierry, 59, spends five hours a day pumping iron and has packed on around 75 pounds of muscle - certainly with the help of supplements. Nowadays, he wears mostly custom tailored sweats and t shirts- when he has clothes on at all. Oh, and he now goes by the name Manfred. Despite these idiosyncrasies, we were relieved to hear that one thing hasn't changed - Mugler, according to friends, is still a "sweet, charming, generous gentleman."
