Paula Abdul Adds Her Own Flavor To FiFi Awards

It seems there are award shows for everything these days. One such show honors achievement in the designer fragrance realm; the FiFi Awards. Paula Abdul graced the stage for this year’s event, and it wasn’t pretty.

First of all, the “Forever Your Girl” singer showed up 30 minutes late. She was scheduled to open the evening with a monologue, and therefore the event couldn’t begin until she arrived.

Shakira Shakes, Sets Records In Mexico City

Shakira has broken the record for the biggest audience at a public concert. As many as 210,000 people gathered on Mexico City’s central Zocalo square for a free concert by the Colombian pop star.

The show took place late Sunday night (May 27), with fans packed into the square and adjacent streets for the duration of the hip-shaking performance.

Vanessa Minnillo Rocks Miss Universe Pageant

It’s that time of year again… time for the hottest ladies from all over the world to converge on the Miss Universe Pageant.  For 2007, Miss Universe has a former pageant beauty to host.  Vanessa Minnillo, 1999 Miss Teen USA, took the stage with co-host Mario Lopez to see what this year had to offer.

Good news for America; Miss USA Rachel Smith is in the top 10, despite taking a spill on the runway.  If Smith takes the title, she’ll be the first Yankee to do so since Brook Lee, back in 1997.  She sported an Elvis jumpsuit and a guitar for the opening parade, giving a nod to her Tennessee roots.

Cameron Diaz and Jessica Biel: Gotta Keep Em Separated

With the MTV Movie Awards coming up this weekend, there are lots of details to be ironed out.  Getting that many egos together for one night can be a headache for even the best event coordinators.  And this year, Cameron Diaz and Jessica Biel are at the top of the priority list.

When Justin Timberlake split up with Cameron, we all knew there was going to be trouble.  In January, Diaz threw a hissie at then-recent ex, JT, when she observed him flirting with his current girlfriend, Biel.  Fast-forward a few months, and lets see what happens.
