Lindsay Lohan launched her new line of leggings 6126 at Pure Nightclub in Las Vegas on Friday night. Apparently she arrived 15 minutes late for the red carpet event and looked like all she wanted to do was get inside and see her girlfriend Samantha Ronson, who was the DJing at the event.

Lindsay wore a short black dress and some ugly blue boots that drew the eyes to her scrawny legs. Is it just my opinion, or has she gotten super skinny again? Starlet Lindsay Lohan hosts an evening at Pure Nightclub inside Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, to launch her new range of leggings, 6126 By Lindsay Lohan.

Rihanna very nearly had an SOS of her own as she was spotted to touch her stomach and her movements seemed a bit sluggish. Suddenly the singer hunched over and left the stage. At first, Rihanna and boyfriend Chris Brown were entertaining an enthusiastic crowd with her song “Umbrella” during a concert in Sydney, Australia. While reports—and videos—have been circulating online appearing to show the 20-year-old singer on the verge of collapse at the end of a concert in Sydney earlier today, a rep for Rihanna is downplaying any serious medical issues.

Her representative explained: “It was very hot at the venue, so after Rihanna’s set was over, she went off stage to sit down, catch her breath and have some water. She is perfectly healthy and will be at her show tomorrow.”

The incident took place shortly after the chart topper finished her final performance of the night, “Umbrella,” with beau Chris Brown. In video footage taken of the concert, Rihanna is seen slightly hunched over and leaving the stage after finishing her last verse—but before the end of the song. The “Disturbia” songbird is set to play a second night in the Australian city tomorrow.

Kate Winslet has denied she was airbrushed to sweep away excess pounds for the sexy Vanity Fair photo shoot. The Titanic star bares all for a Catherine Deneuve-inspired shoot, posing provocatively on a sofa wearing just stockings, high heels and a fur throw. But people are so ENVY that now Kate Winslet’s figure has drawn claims that the pictures were digitally altered to remove her famous curves. HUH? A spokesman for the star is adamant that the photos are genuine - putting Kate Winslet’s new look to her healthy regime.

The representative tells British newspaper The Independent, “There’s been absolutely no airbrushing at all. All she has had is the standard retouching they do on any photo shoot - adjusting skin tone and so on. I know she is thrilled with the photos. She’s in very good shape at the moment.” Winslet famously slammed editors at British GQ magazine in 2003 for airbrushing her figure, accusing them of making her look “six feet tall and a size two.

Jennifer Connelly is on the cover of Marie Claire’s December 2008 issue. She looks gorgeous in the photoshoot that shows her dressed in several elegant black dresses. In the interview, the beautiful actress talks about the things she loves: apples (she eats three a day), running, doing crafts and speaking the Italian language. Pink Lady apples. “Three a day. I eat so many apples, it’s stupid.” Speaking Italian. “It’s so much fun. It’s such a crisp and bright-sounding language.” Vodka. “Chilled. No ice. Just a tiny bit of orange juice, or with soda and lime.” Home. “I became a mom before I became a wife. When I had kids, I felt I had a home like I’d never experienced before.” A hot LBD. “You can just fold it up and throw it in your bag. It always works.” Doing crafts. “I have a Bedazzler! The last time we whipped it out was for Stellan’s birthday. I sewed capes for all the kids, and then they decorated them with fabric, paint, jewels, and buttons.” Running. “Six to 10 miles on trails through the woods at our place up in the country.”

Michael Phelps is an endless magnet for young hotties. As the Olympics champ hosted Bowlmor Lanes’ 70th anniversary bash, an army of stunners surrounded him screaming, “Fish man! Fish man!” One bold admirer stepped forward to rub his tummy. Phelps repeatedly insisted he wasn’t dating anyone, but told of a jaw-dropping sign being held by a female fan at his homecoming parade in Baltmore.

The singer took his three children - Prince Michael, 11, Paris, ten, and Prince Michael II, six - shopping this week dressed as masked Halloween characters. And never one to be left out, Jackson looked scarier than ever in a surgical mask, giant black sunglasses and a hooded jumper. The family, who are rarely seen in public, browsed a comic book store together after slipping in through a back door. When Jackson turned 50 in August he said he likes nothing more than spending time with his children. “I’m raising my children and enjoying it and teaching them to ride bicycles and how to read. I love it.” The former child star also said his kids are enjoying freedom he never had at their age. I let them go to the arcade and go to the movies and do things. I want them to get to do the kind of things I didn’t get to do,” he added. The children removed their masked once inside the store, giving onlookers a rare glimpse at their faces.
