Pippa Middleton almost steals the show at the Royal Wedding, Melissa McCarthy’s hilarious role in Bridesmaids, Justin Theroux becomes Jennifer Aniston’s new beau and more celebs who stepped into the spotlight in 2011!
A YEAR AGO, THE NAMES CHAZ AND PIPPA PROBABLY DIDN’T MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU, BUT FAST-FORWARD 12 MONTHS AND YOU’RE ON A FIRST-NAME BASIS. AND THAT’S WHAT MAKES THEM TWO OF CELEBTV’S BREAKOUT STARS OF 2011.
IT’S PRETTY HARD TO UPSTAGE ANY BRIDE – LET ALONE A ROYAL ONE – BUT PIPPA MIDDLETON DID JUST THAT. SURE, KATE LOOKED GREAT ON HER WEDDING DAY, BUT PIPPA WAS THE TALK OF THE TOWN AFTER WOWWING IN HER SLEEK WHITE GOWN THAT SHOWED OFF HER AMPLE ASSETS.
ON NO TIME, THE WHOLE WORLD WAS FASCINATED WITH KATE’S YOUNGER SISTER.
ANOTHER BRIDESMAID MAKES OUR LIST THIS YEAR… WHO COULD FORGET THIS SCENE-STEALER FROM BRIDESMAIDS.
MELISSA MCCARTHY MUST’VE FELT LIKE A PRINCESS HERSELF WHEN SHE ACCEPTED HER EMMY FOR “MIKE AND MOLLY” WHILE WEARING HER VERY OWN TIARA.
JUSTIN WHO? THAT’S PRETTY MUCH WHAT EVERYONE SAID WHEN WE HEARD JENNIFER ANISTON HAD A NEW MAN, BUT AFTER SEEING PLENTY OF PICS OF THE HAPPY COUPLE CAVORTING, MR. THEROUX BECAME A HOUSEHOLD NAME.
WE’VE KNOWN THE OLSEN TWINS FOR DECADES, BUT ONLY THIS YEAR WERE WE INTRODUCED TO THEIR SISTER, ELIZABETH. THE YOUNGER OLSEN RECEIVED RAVE REVIEWS FOR “MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE” – AND HAS SEVERAL FILMS IN THE WORKS FOR 2012.
FINALLY, A HEARTY “YOU DA MAN” FOR CHAZ BONO, WHO MADE A BIG SPLASH ON DANCING WITH THE STARS.
CHAZ MIGHT NOT HAVE HAD THE MOVES LIKE J.R., BUT IN A YEAR WHEN BULLYING WAS A HOT TOPIC, HE BECAME ONE GREAT ROLE MODEL.
CONGRATS TO ALL OF THIS YEAR’S BREAKOUT STARS – WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU DO IN 2012.
HE’S ONE OF THIS YEAR’S BIGGEST BREAKOUT STARS, BUT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE CHAZ BONO’S HEART’S BEEN BROKEN…
THE DANCING WITH THE STARS CONTENDER AND HIS LONGTIME GIRLFRIEND HAVE CALLED OFF THEIR ENGAGEMENT – AND – CALLED OFF THEIR ENTIRE RELATIONSHIP.
JUST LAST MONTH, THE TRANSGENDER STAR WAS SHOWN POPPING THE QUESTION TO JENNIFER ELIA, ON HIS TV SPECIAL, “BEING CHAZ.”
THE COUPLE HAD BEEN TOGETHER SINCE 1999, AND JENNIFER’S BEEN RIGHT BY CHAZ’S SIDE THROUGH HIS GENDER REASSIGNMENT TRANSITION. BUT SHE LATER REVEALED THAT THE PROCESS HAD BEEN DIFFICULT. AND SHE ADMITTED SHE HAD STARTED DRINKING AGAIN AFTER BEING SOBER FOR SOME TIME.
STILL, CHAZ’S SPOKESMAN, SAYS, THEY QUOTE, “leave this relationship with great love, respect and affection toward one another. No further amplification will be forthcoming and they ask that you respect their privacy at this time.”
AND WHEN THE NEWS BROKE, Chaz tweeted: “Thanks for your concern about our separation.
I'm doing fine, and we remain on good terms with nothing but respect and affection 4 eachother.”
Amanda Seyfried leaves the club with a bottle of rum in her hands; Regis falls off a scooter; Kathie Lee sports some serious pit stains, and more embarrassing A-list moments!
Sometimes we wonder if celebs forget they are photographed 24-7.
And while we know no body is perfect- we couldn’t help but point out these major missteps in out second hand embarrassment of the week awards.
That’s the face of someone who’s had a fun night!
Now- we’re not going to say Amanda Seyfried was tipsy when these pics were snapped.
Nope. We’re just gonna tell you it was 3am and that’s a bottle of rum she was snapped with while leaving a London night club.
Hmmm- next time for a brighter future with the paps- pack a pair of shades!
We love Regis Philbin so much that we felt guilty letting a giggle slip when the talk show host wiped out on a scooter while taping David Letterman.
But hey- the 80 year old stud jumped right back up like the pro he is- and for that we give him major props.
If the shoe fits- wear it- right?
Well Chaz Bono- same goes with the pants.
We spotted the DWTS alum outside a trailer for the show looking like he may need a hand getting into those trousers.
Paging Lacy!
Raise your hand if you're Kathy Lee Gifford. On second thought, maybe don't.
Kathy Lee was definitely not Sure at an event in NYC, then again-, we've all been there.
Lucky for us, the paparazzi don't follow us waiting to capture our embarrassing moments.
Warren Beatty and Annette Bening’s transgendered teen Stephen lashes out at Chaz Bono, saying the DWTS alum is a woman-hater and a bad spokesperson for the transgendered community.
CHAZ BONO IS GETTING SOME PRETTY HARSH CRITICISM THESE DAYS - FROM AN UNLIKELY SOURCE. AND THIS TIME, IT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS DANCING SKILLS!
CHER'S SON HAS A BRAND-NEW HATER. AND IT'S ANNETTE BENNING AND WARREN BEATTY’S TRANSGENDERED TEEN.
19-YEAR-OLD STEPHEN, BORN KATHLYN, IS LASHING OUT AT CHAZ ACCUSING THE "DANCING WITH THE STARS" ALUM OF HATING WOMEN.
THE REASON? CHAZ ONCE TOLD THE NEW YORK TIMES ONCE COMPARED FEELING TRAPPED IN A WOMAN'S BODY TO BEING BORN WITH A BIRTH DEFECT.
ON HIS BLOG “THE SUPER MATTACHINE” STEPHEN CALLED OUT CHAZ FOR BEING A BAD SPOKESPERSON FOR THE TRANSGENDERED COMMUNITY WRITING, “Chaz is a misogynist."
THE TEEN CONTINUED TO BLAST CHAZ - WHO WENT THROUGH GENDER REASSIGNMENT SURGERY FROM 2008 TO 2010 ADDING - 'This man doesn’t represent our community... [I] don’t want a single person thinking this guy is the best of us."
WOW! BUT HERE'S A REAL-LIFE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO. CHAZ’S MOM, CHER DATED, STEPHEN'S DAD, WARREN BEATTY, BACK IN THE DAY. THEN AGAIN.. WHO DIDN’T?!
