Janet Jackson is so impressed by the legion of drag queens who attempt to mimic her act she'd like to be one. The Control hitmaker admits she checks out drag stars who have their own Janet Jackson act whenever she hears of one - and some are amazing. She chuckles, "One of them was at the Baton (Show Lounge) in Chicago. This was a few years ago. And she did a wonderful job. "(There was) another… in Atlanta at the Jungle. She did a wonderful job as well.
"They really study you… (and) they pour it on more, which I absolutely love. They give more than I do and I love that. The first time I went to the Baton in Chicago and saw this show, I was with some of my dancers.
"Afterward, I said to my dancers, 'We've gotta pull (it) up because these bitches are hitting it. They're giving so much femininity and we look like boys onstage.'
Jackson tells Eonline.com that sometimes the drag queens' Janet routines make it into her live shows.
She adds, "We were trying our hardest to ooze with that feminine touch."
And she'd love to 'drag it up' for a magazine photoshoot: "It would be really fun to do a whole editorial spread in a magazine with me as a drag queen, completely from head to toe. I would love to do that."

This is a themed party and this is the time to go nasty! But there's just so much to like in Janet's white halter neck silk jersey gown by Versace. If you must flaunt the toned body…

With all the secrecy surrounding Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz Saturday wedding, one thing is for sure: sister Jessica will also walk down the aisle as Ashlee’s maid of honor.

“Of course,” the older Simpson told People Magazine when asked if she’ll be the girl for the job.

Ashlee, 23 and her Fall-Out Boy beau have remained mum about their wedding day and pregnancy. But one thing that Ashlee wants to talk about – her new album Bittersweet World.

Rating: 5

Though it’s big sister Jessica that has been trying to break into the clothing industry, it’s clearly Ashlee that has better fashion sense. Gone are her punk roots and in her place is a glowing soon-to-be mother and wife. Pete Wentz has definitely got to keep up with his beau and work extra hard in the style department.

Ellen Barkin was born in Bronx, New York to a lower middle-class Jewish family.

She double majored in history and drama at Hunter College.

She wanted to teach ancient history.

She studied acting for seven years before landing her first audition.

In on off-Broadway play, a New York Times critic described Ellen’s performance as “If it were really possible to give the kiss of life to a corpse, the actress Ellen Barkin would be the one to do it.”

Rating: 4

I love this dress on Ellen Barkin – pure movie star glamour. But did too much focus on the dress make Ellen forget that her hair needed work too? It’s just a little too casual for my taste. The MET gala is definitely not the place for wash-and-wear hair.

Early this year, Without a Trace star Roselyn Sanchez announced her engagement to soap star Eric Winter. Winter, 31, proposed while the pair was vacationing in the resort island of Viesques in the Caribbean. The couple has been dating for two years.

Sanchez, a Puerto Rican-born stunner is also has also always on the world’s sexiest woman list, according to Stuff and Maxim.

Rating: 3

With the slew of Grecian goddess and mermaid-inspired dresses to hit the red carpet, this champagne-colored one attempts to do a mix both. Not that it particularly works – this fussy gown is clearly suffering from details overload. But still, Roselyn looks absolutely stunning.

Minnie’s remaining tight-lipped when it comes to who fathered her baby. "I want to shield the baby's dad as much as I can because it wasn't his choice to get roped into all this stuff,” the six-months-pregnant star told Britain’s Independent paper. 

Her only clues: he’s English and “sort of in the same business" as she is. And oh, one more hint: it’s not San Francisco musician Craig Zolezzi, whom papers have named to be the dad.

That narrows things down. 

Rating: 4

Minnie Driver positively glows, and it’s not all from the pregnancy.  She is looking cute in a blood-red dress, dewy make-up and perfect hair. What’s not to like?

In her attempt to break into the movie world, former teen star Elizabeth Berkeley successfully beat out then-unknown Charlize Theron, Denise Richards and Jenny McCarthy for what she thought was the role in the movie of a lifetime – Showgirls. She was wrong. Showgirls turned out to be a box-office failure, a critical mess and all-around one of the biggest movie disasters in the entire Hollywood history. It is also credited as destroying Elizabeth Berkeley’s movie career.

Rating: 4 

Elizabeth Berkeley is downright classy as she visits a Manhattan morning show. She buttoned-up a little bit too much, though. If it is an attempt to make us forget her 1995 stripper movie, it’s not working. We’re still not letting her live Showgirls down.

“I was born an addict and I'll always be an addict," Kelly Osbourne tells Fabulous Magazine, “"But I've learned to live with it."

The 23-year-old rock and roll offspring counts drugs, spending money, overeating and painting one’s nails 17 times a day as addictions. After a stint in rehab a few years back, Osbourne says that right now is “the happiest I've ever been!"

The reason may be British rocker Matt Emerson, whom the younger Osbourne is currently dating. But are they official? Kelly remains vague, saying, “"I want to be taken out for dinner and know something about them before they become my boyfriend.”

Rating: 4

Were it not for that hazed and drunken expression on her face, this is clearly the most sober Kelly Osbourne ever. This is the best she’s ever looked – who ever knew blue and cream and a new pixie cut works well with her. Only those tattoos on her feet give away her past wild days.

Following her all-female soiree a few days ago at the Spears’ Serenity mansion a few weeks ago, Jamie Lynn Spears is headed for baby shower number two. This time, more relatives from the Alridge clan are in attendance.

About 40 guests were in attendance in what is the pregnant 17-year-old’s second baby shower in just one week. Still, baby-daddy Casey Alridge, 18, was missing in action. Excited relatives from the Alridge side included his mom Joyce and sister Ashley.

Rating: 4

Pregnancy did not stop Jamie Lynn from looking fabulous and happy in technicolor. The Pucci print worked its magic, making us forget that the teen is in her final trimester. In her printed empire dress, she doesn't look pregnant, maybe just a little bloated. Jamie is clearly the more stylish of the Spears sisters.

Claudia Schiffer

She didn't get her ears pierced until 2006, when she had them done especially for the photoshoot for her Accessorize advertising campaign.

Claudia had a cameo appearance in the film Love Actually.

Claudia has appeared on over 900 mgazine covers, giving her the record for the supermodel with the most magazine covers.

During her first pregnancy, Claudia craved curry.

Claudia is a fan of Prada clothing.

Claudia has two children named Clementine and Casper.

Claudia was once engaged to the magician David Copperfield, who once sawed her in half on a German TV show.

Rating: 4

This light blue Valentino dress seems a little over the top with the ruffles and all but somehow I like it!

Must be the sweet color or Claudia's body is just making it look better than it should.

Virginia Madsen spent the first twenty years of her acting career playing minor roles in films. Her break-though role came in her critically acclaimed leading role in 2004’s Sideways, which catapulted the 46-year-old actress to the Hollywood A-list.

Before Virginia became a household name, critics were already well-aware of her acting prowess. In the 1997 Matt Damon legal drama The Rainmaker, Virginia played ‘a witness for the plaintiff.’ Critics called her performance ‘strong’ and ‘solid.’

In the red carpet filled with feather-weight, undernourished stars, Virginia Madsen holds her own in a gunmetal gray gown. The empire waist is perfect for flaunting assets and concealing flaws – and it worked its magic on Virginia.

Anna Wintour, through the years, has become one of the most powerful people in fashion, setting trends and anointing new designers. The Guardian has called her the "unofficial mayoress" of New York City. She has worked behind the scenes to encourage fashion houses to hire younger, fresher designers such as John Galliano, who owes his position at Christian Dior to her intervention. She persuaded Donald Trump to let Marc Jacobs use a ballroom at the Plaza Hotel for a show when he and his partner were short of cash. More recently, she persuaded Brooks Brothers to hire the relatively unknown Thom Browne. Her protégée at Vogue, Plum Sykes, became a successful novelist, drawing her settings from New York's fashionable élite.

Like many successful power brokers, she rarely makes her wishes known directly. Fashion industry publicists say that a simple "Do you want me to go to Anna with this?" from a subordinate is often enough to settle a dispute in Vogue's favor.

Rating: 4

Anna Wintour in her futuristic Chanel frock at the Met's Costume Gala certainly knows what she is in business for. Why, she can even make Queen Amidala and Diva Plavalaguna (Fifth Element) blush. The woman definitely knows what to wear and how it should be done. Just look at those pockets, genius indeed!
