Paltrow Lets It All Hang Out (Of Her Tank Top) At Barcelona's Airport

If only we had a dime for every time we've flashed our bra at the airport security check, we'd have just about enough to buy a stick of gum. And you know why? Because we are not Gwyneth Paltrow, who apparently decided that the weather in Barcelona was cold enough to wear a scarf, but so hot that a handkerchief of a tank top would do for the flight home.

Alas, the tank top didn't do very well, and now pictures of Paltrow not only looking haggard at the checkpoint are out on the web, but they include her flesh-colored bra, which, unless you do a double-take, looks like fully nude side-boobage. We're going to jot this down in our no-nos list of in-flight fashion, for obvious reasons. Also, doesn't that scarf kind of look like a neck brace until you see the whole picture?

Gwyneth was in Barcelona to watch her husband, Chris Martin, perform with Coldplay. Gwyneth actually speaks fluent Spanish and wants her children to grow up just as bilingual. Noble ambitions, but mommy has that Goop newsletter thing to work on, so it's back to London. by JetSetCD - Jaunted

Who Will Save Our Celebrities From The Toxic Power Of Twitter?


Finally using her Twitter account for good, this week Britney Spears handed out tickets to her shows at Madison Square Garden in New York to a lucky fan via tweeted clues.

Is Spears playfully engaging with a new medium, or playing a dangerous game? Spears or her handlers left a series of clues for followers to parse about the place she was, like "Manhattan," and "below 60th Street and above 20th Street." The clues apparently led to the Times Square M&M store, just when you thought it was going to be something original and local-approved -- but anyway!

In the end, it wasn't Britney herself handing out the tickets—of course not, that's what you pay people for. Nonetheless the giveaway, and similar stunts pulled by @The_Real_Shaq and other celebs on Twitter sent the New York Times sniffing around the scene for an article pondering the fact that Twitter's biggest numbers are being posted not by text-friendly teens, but by adults.

Having jobs would keep most of New York from dashing off for the day to find Britney, but not all. It wouldn't be that hard for an ill-intentioned follower to locate and do harm to a celeb trying to "connect" with the "fans."

Ironically, most of the teens in the Times story raise questions of privacy which presumably we grown-ups on Twitter have learned to successfully navigate without the help of Internet Guardians. But as more celebs take to tweeting their trips (ex: Lily Allen), the potential exists for more than touristy heckling, clueless Twitpics, and hasty PR-driven apologies. More followers can mean more readers of your travel plans, and not all of them with innocent intents. Celebs beware; there's a time to take yourself off the map. by egw - Jaunted

Bar Refaeli Seeks Solace in St. Tropez Nightclub



We're heading into the final month of summer here and you know what that means--celebs will be descending en masse in St. Tropez on the French Riviera for their annual pilgrimage of partying, yachting, topless sunbathing, and more partying.

But it looks like Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue cover girl, Bar Refaeli is getting a head start. The beauty was seen partying it up with Brazilian polo player and entrepreneur Ricardo Mansur, leading us to believe that her on-off boyfriend, Leonardo DiCaprio, is once again "off." This Ricardo dude might also have it out for Leo as he reportedly once dated Leo's ex, Gisele Bundchen, as well.

While celebs can be found throughout the summer in St. Tropez (not all of them are classy like Jon Gosselin, Tara Reid and Avril Lavigne), August seems to be the month to go. The New York Times has a great article about the madness of splashy flashy St. Tropez that gives a good history of the place and how it turned into such a party spot. True, the article is from 2005 which is now firmly "pre-recession era" but this is the French Riviera--there's no such word as "recession," is there?
And as for how Bar actually got to St. Tropez, well we're guessing she didn't fly her SI One.

The Palazzo Is For Rebounds, Just Ask Audrina


Thankfully, Chris Pine took our advice and finally dumped Audrina Patridge. Apparently, the "Star Trek" star’s people felt the same way we did, and convinced him that a guest spot on an MTV reality series would not be the best move for his career:

“Chris Pine was forced to dump Audrina because his camp wants him to take the right strategic steps to become a big movie star. Dating a reality show star would tarnish his image.”

Nonetheless, it doesn't seem that "The Hills" starlet is too broken up over the whole ordeal. She was spotted making out with her ex, BMX biker Corey Boham, at the Lavo nightclub in The Palazzo just last night.

We’re not surprised Audrina was caught hooking up outside of Lavo because, at The Palazzo Las Vegas, decadence is the name of the game. Most suites are more than 650 square feet, and even the drapes come with a remote control. But perhaps the coolest amenities at the hotel are the lengths they have taken to go green, like sacrificing whirlpool tubs to save energy.

It is the first hotel on the Strip to earn the coveted Silver Green LEED certification, meaning it also is the largest building with this certification in the world. Somehow we doubt that this is why Audrina picked it for her rebound. by cmb - Jaunted
