Meanwhile, the 17-year-old “Twilight” star seems to be readying for quite the big future - as he was predicted to be a ‘Top Money Making Star’ within just a few years.

Looking as if the public is moving away from loving the stick-thin starlets in lieu of the curvier chicks, Kate Winslet and Halle Berry have topped a big UK poll as to which Hollywood ladies have the most desirable bodies.

Asking thousands of women aged 18 and over, the general trend seemed to make clear that voluptuous figures are becoming the ideal look.

With Miss Winslet placed atop the poll while Miss Berry closely behind, with third place going to fellow curvaceous cutie, Beyonce Knowles.

Other gorgeous gals to make the recent survey include Megan Fox and Lily Allen, while skinny stars such as Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss came in at the bottom of the list.

Meanwhile, Miss Keibler is currently looking forward to the airing of her guest role on the 100th episode of “How I Met Your Mother”.

In the episode titled “Girls Vs. Suits,” Miss Keibler plays a bartender that catches Neil Patrick Harris’ eye - with the show set to run on January 11th on CBS.

She’s known for her keen fashion sense, so it comes as no surprise that Nicole Richie has been asked to serve as a guest judge in the upcoming season of “Project Runway.”

The 28-year-old will be joining host Heidi Klum, mentor Tim Gunn along with Nina Garcia and Michael Kors for the show’s seventh season premiere on January 14th at 10 pm EST on Lifetime.

The troubled British singer recently told press that she’s actually been quite productive as of late, telling: “I’ve actually written a few more songs over Christmas, I’ve been at home, been over my Mom’s, actually been knuckling down to it really.”

Not one to worry about being caught in a compromising position, Lady Gaga flashed photographers from her balcony in Miami Beach on Thursday morning (December 31).

The “Poker Face” singer chatted with a pal at the Fontainebleau hotel, paying no mind to the fact that paparazzi were snapping shots of her clad in her undies.

Coming up tonight (December 31), GaGa will be taking the stage at the James L. Knight Center in Miami Beach for a New Year’s Eve concert.

According to a report, the gig has already cleared the $1 million mark in ticket sales and promises to be the pinnacle of NYE festivities.

He’s shot to worldwide fame thanks to his role as Edward Cullen, and Robert Pattinson says he owes it all to having a crush on Kristen Stewart.

The “New Moon” stud confessed that the driving force behind his decision to audition for “Twilight” was the fact that Stewart had been cast as Bella Swan.

“I read the script and I barely knew that they were books too.  The only reason I went to the audition was to see Kristen, because I’d just seen Into The Wild. Of course I had a crush on her but we are just very good friends.”

Still denying their romance, Rob insists he’s single and looking.  “I am young, free and single.  I like people being forward. Gosh, I don’t know. I like strong people, chiseled abs… I take what I can get.”

She’s settling into motherhood quite nicely, and Kourtney Kardashian recently explained why she chose the name Mason Dash for her newborn son.

The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” babe revealed that what started out as merely a preference became more profound upon further examination.

“The first time I started looking at baby names, Mason was the only one I liked.  It was the only one that stuck with me. Right before he was born, I told my aunt we were thinking about going with that for a name. She told me that Mason means the same thing in English that Kardashian means in Armenian — stone worker.”

She continued, “Another aunt told me my great uncle used to use the name Mason when he made dinner reservations, because Kardashian was too long. When I heard that, I thought, Oh my god, it’s meant to be.”

“Dash is not for my clothing store, as some people have suggested online. That would be stupid. Dash is short for Kardashian, and it was my father’s nickname.”
