HouseGoesHollywood: Celine strips, Britney pulls swifty, Madonna rides Elton

Skinny Celine sings Adele’s curvy praises

First Nicole Kidman, now Celine Dion has stripped for V Magazine. In the interview that accompanies the sexy photos, she has some interesting things to say about her latest fave singer, Adele: “I think her whole image is good. Very sophisticated for her age: the nails, the dresses, the hair, the size, and her talents as a songwriter and a singer. She’s the total package. The way that she is will definitely help the new generation of girls accept themselves.”

So what she’s really trying to say when she refers to “the size” …?

Britney pulls a swifty

It turns out the sexy bikini pics Britney Spears tweeted the other day are from 2008.

“Y’all ready for summer to end? I’m definitely not!” the singer wrote under the photo, which is from the same set as the image used on a 2008 OK! cover.

Sneaky! But no cigar, ’cause you’ve been sprung, Brits.

Meanwhile, The Huffington Post reports that Kim Kardashian has pulled the same sneaky stunt: “Last week while vacationing in Hawaii, Kim Kardashian posted a couple of photos of herself in a retro bikini and wrote “Aloha” and “Me Ke Aloha,” which made it seem like the photos were from her trip. Strangely, the photos were actually from a 2009 photo shoot in the Bahamas.

What’s that all about?

Prince Harry’s minders are in dog house

Prince Harry’s not the only one copping it for his Las Vegas strip billiards scandal.

TMZ says: “Here’s what we know. The night of the naked Vegas hotel party, Harry was hanging with two male friends … after some boozing, the group decided to bring a bunch of chicks they had just met back to Harry’s VIP suite at Encore. That’s when Harry’s people dropped the ball.

“When the girls entered the room, we’re told the ladies were NOT asked to surrender their phones … an epic failure considering Harry’s well-documented wild side.

“As the party fired up, several girls began to snap pics on their cell-phones … and one of Harry’s minders lackadaisically told the women, “awww, come on .. no photos.”

“Sources who were there tell TMZ … the minders were asleep at the wheel, enjoying the party more than protecting the Prince from himself.

“After more boozing, the clothes came off … and more photos were taken, in plain view of the handlers, yet Harry’s people did nothing.”

Sacked?

John Lennon’s killer denied parole

Mark David Chapman, who shot and killed John Lennon outside his New York apartment in 1980, was denied parole for the seventh time yesterday.

He’s already served 20 years of his sentence, but New York corrections officials decided he is not ready to rejoin society. He’ll be able to request parole again in 2014.

Tom’s curry crisis

The Daily Mail is reporting that Tom Cruise made a surprise visit to a curry house in an quiet British town and couldn’t pay his bill: “The Hollywood super star shocked patrons at the Veer Dhara restaurant in St Albans, Hertfordshire, England when he arrived with a group of friends for a low-key meal on Tuesday.

“But the 50-year-old millionaire was left red-faced when he wasn’t able to pay £220 ($350) restaurant bill.

“The eatery didn’t accept his American Express card and he was only carrying US dollars.”

Seriously, Tom only carries cash and American Express? Who does that?

Fortunately one of his dining companions was able to pony up the cash.

Madonna fuels her Elton feud

While performing in France this week Madonna told the crowd she’d forgiven Elton John for calling her the “c” word and dedicated a song to him. But it turns out she was actually having a go, because the song she chose was “Masterpiece”.

Madonna won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for “Masterpiece” for W.E, beating Elton for his song “Hello, Hello” from Gnomeo & Juliet.

After her GG win, Elton’s husband, David Furnish, took a swipe at her on Facebook writing: “Madonna. Best song???? F–k off!!!”

So I’m thinking her apology wasn’t entirely genuine …
