Soon to be ex-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was having lunch with some buddies at Barneys and one guy teased him about having a bodyguard standing at a discreet distance. Arnold laughed and admitted he was thrilled because once he has finished being governor he can finally get rid of the bodyguard. He said he doesn’t need the guy and anyway “I’m tougher than he is!”

The fact that Leighton Meester’s mother was in federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas, for drug smuggling when Leighton was born, just proves what a good actress she is. Background notwithstanding, Leighton is perfectly believable as the spoiled wealthy New Yorker Blair Waldorf on “Gossip Girls.” And she looks particularly fetching in this checkered coat with lace tights.
We love the Wendy Williams show and are not in the least surprised that she’s renewed through 2012. Talk show hosts rarely admit that they love celebrity gossip but Wendy can’t get enough of it, and we think that’s the secret to her success. Wendy and her husband (and manager?) Kevin Hunter have been the subject of gossip themselves- an employee accused Kevin of sexual harassment in 2008. Obviously, their marriage survived the drama and they look happy together in New York.

Anderson Cooper looks a bit overwhelmed by Lady Gaga as they film an interview at London’s River Thames. Gaga trussed herself up in her fanciest waist cincher and steampunk glasses for the occasion. She gave Anderson a big hug and talked about her fans, her music, and what it’s like to be stared at all the time. Then she almost fell over in her shoes. A good time was had by all.

Nope, that’s NOT Taylor Momsen dressed up for Halloween – that’s Taylor’s work clothes for performing with her band Pretty Reckless. Her band played at the Paper magazine party and during the show she flashed her seventeen year old bare chest with gaffer’s tape on her nipples. Very Courtney Love. Taylor’s changed a lot (photo below) since she started on “Gossip Girl” a few years ago.

Reese Witherspoon knows what she likes, and she gave her boyfriend, agent Jim Toth, a makeUNDER. When she met him he was in the habit of wearing Savile Row suits and ties and he always looked dressed up. She wanted him to look more casual and kid-friendly on his days off so she introduced him to Gap jeans and flip flops. Big mistake, if you ask us.
Jennifer Lopez kept her twins Emme and Max under wraps for most of their babyhood, causing people to wonder if they were, indeed, as cute as Suri Cruise. It turns out they ARE adorable and now that they’re two and a half, Gucci has hired them to appear in ads for their clothing line for children. Nice work if you can get it.

Their overseas press tours happened to put them in the same city at the same time, so Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez spent a night out together in London. The girls dressed up for dinner at Jamie’s – a hot new restaurant owned by Jamie Oliver. Instead of hitting the clubs afterward, these two good girls ignored the cool weather and went out for gelato. Taylor’s choice was stracciatella (similar to chocolate chip) and Selena’s weakness was toffee white chocolate.
We’re surprised that Lindsay Lohan hasn’t busted out of Betty Ford since all those stories about Samantha Ronson and Christina Aguilera started circulating. Lindsay must be outraged to learn that the object of her affection has taken to partying with Christina. Christina insists they are merely friends and not lovers but we wonder who was the first person she called after she got home from the emergency room. (Shortly before she filed for divorce, Christina’s husband Jordan rushed her to the hospital to have her injured mouth stitched up. It sounds like somebody got punched.) Nicole Richie knows the real story – she was in Cabo with Christina and Sam. All these developments must be driving Lindsay MAD while she’s locked up.

Paula Abdul is more than ready to start judging dancers instead of singers on her new CBS show “Live to Dance.” Above she was photographed leaving the auditions in New York, and on her way to Los Angeles where auditions began today in Burbank. She seems really happy that contestants have few limitations- they can be of any age, group or solo – and excel at any kind of dancing. Who needs American Idol, anyway?
