Ripped Go Daddy girl Joan Rivers rips into Kim Kardashian, Christina Aguilera [video]

 

Joan Rivers is the new face of Go Daddy -- yes, just the face -- and never one to shy from snark, she dished it out during the 2011 Super Bowl, when her Go Daddy commercial ran.

"I love Superbowl Sunday. Or, as @KimKardashian calls it, 'the biggest shopping day of the year,'" she tweeted around kickoff.

The sharp-tongued 77-year-old continued to churn out the snark via Twitter when her commercial for the Web-hosting company aired during the game. With her face superimposed on Tabitha Taylor's ripped body, she took the wind out of every straight man's sails.

Betty White Super Bowl commercial for Snickers "How do you like that body?" Rivers tweeted. "That took a lot of hard work-dieting and exercise! And I never once puked up my lunch."

And the harsh, silver-haired humor didn't end with Rivers: Cloris Leachman got the message loud clear and bashed Jillian Michaels and Danica Patrick in her own spoof of Go Daddy's script-flipper.

Betty White's Snickers commercial from last year's Super Bowl proved that ladies of a certain age can still pack a lot of punch -- and Rivers is no exception. She always has something to say and someone to put down.

"The commercials are all aliens and alcoholics and all computer-generated. Thank God my commercial has no special effects," she said.

The star of "Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?" and "Fashion Police" officer also poked fun at Christina Aguilera for flubbing the National Anthem, skewering the crooner about her fluctuating weight.

Kim Kardashian meets boyfriend Kris Humphries' parents

Happy 26th birthday to Kim Kardashian's boyfriend, Kris Humphries. And, as a gift, Lady Skechers Shape-Ups is going to meet your parents. Surprise!

Kardashian, who hasn't been lucky in love and recently swore off football-playing boyfriends, met the New Jersey Nets power forward's parents Saturday at STK, a popular Manhattan haunt.

Kim Kardashian at a New Jersey Nets game "This was more of a get to know the parents affair. ... Kim and his parents really seemed to hit off," a source told People magazine.

His parents and close friends came out for the birthday party and racked up a $900 tab, which the reality TV star graciously picked up. We guess she had a bit of pocket change from her steamy Skechers commercial that aired during the Super Bowl the next day?

The couple made their debut in December, and Kardashian has already been spotted attending some Nets games.

Will Kim K. do better with the NBA than the NFL? Here's to her lucking out like sister Khloe Kardashian, who tied the knot with Lakers forward Lamar Odom in 2009 after a six-week courtship.

Kim Kardashian had recently complained on "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" that she was feeling left out because her sisters were planning on having kids at the same time, while she was still searching for Mr. Right.

So, here's to Kimmie moving forward with this forward.

Orlando Bloom shows us he's the boss

Orlando Bloom for Hugo Boss Orange Orlando Bloom gives us a much needed break from engagements by engaging us with his pleasing visage.

A first look of the actor fronting Hugo Boss' Orange fragrance hit the Web on Tuesday, showing Bloom in full biceps glory -- smoking-hot gaze and all.

The snap is by Steven Klein, a frequent W mag contributor who has captured the likes of Madonna and Jennifer Aniston.

Now that you've see what Miranda Kerr comes home to every day, share your comments.

Kim Kardashian and her mom Kris Jenner are certainly in step -- and it so happens that now they're getting rewarded handsomely for it.

The mother-daughter duo announced their alignment with Skechers Shape-ups, shoes that promote fitness (especially in the celebrated Kardashian backside), Monday at the Beverly Wilshire hotel.

Sneaker honcho Leonard Armato announced that Kardashian and Jenner will soon be promoting a national mother-daughter fitness challenge, encouraging women and girls to get moving as a team.

Kim's sisters Kourtney and Khloe came to support their sister and mom. Thankfully they've got that handy Kardashian MasterCard, should anyone want to impulsively purchase the Kardashian sneaker.

Kim Kardashian can now live in your wallet [poll]

Kim Kardashian credit card Of the many ways you can keep Kim Kardashian with you, there's now a spot for her in your back pocket.

The reality star is lending her name to a prepaid MasterCard aimed specifically at teenagers -- and the parents who want to monitor their spending.

"Teens do not spend their money as their parents think they do," a rep for the campaign told the New York Post, "and, drugs are a huge problem in this country. I give my son a small amount of cash and track his spending on his card."

Yes, Kim is precisely the ally this brand needs. Moms and dads can make sure prescription drugs and marijuana are kept at bay in lieu of more responsible purchases -- like Kardashian weight loss pills, cupcakes, fragrances, fast food salads and iTunes tracks

Kardashian is slated to appear at a party in Manhattan on Tuesday to support the card, alongside the cast of "The Real Housewives of New York."

Robert Pattinson: Kristen Stewart kiss; Burberry campaign diss?

Robert Pattinson turns down Burberry That Robert Pattinson has one busy mug -- a fashion brand wants it, and Kristen Stewart's been smooching it abroad.

For starters, the "Twilight Saga" star and Stewart gave fans a thrill when photos of the two kissing in character were snapped in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday. As Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, the pair shot scenes for the fictional honeymoon they'll enjoy in the film.

Elsewhere in the Pattinson realm, overseas reports from the weekend said Brit label Burberry approached the actor to front its menswear collection in an ad campaign -- reportedly offering $1.6 million.

The UK Mirror claims Pattinson refused immediately, claiming (no doubt by pounding his fists on a Nova Check conference table, "I'm an actor, not a model!").

Burberry remains mum on the offer. Emma Watson, another famous Brit who's in a global juggernaut film franchise, currently fronts Burberry's womens collection.

Celebs who support Prop. 19: Everybody must get stoned?

Zach Galifianakis supports Prop. 19

What do Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg have in common? Support for Proposition 19, which if it gets a majority of votes in Tuesday's election would legalize marijuana for personal use in California.

Snoop Dogg supports Prop. 19 "Prop. 19? You know where I stand on that. Very high," the Dogg has said.

"I think it's absolutely time to at least see if it works, experiment," said comic David Cross, who voices Minion on the new DreamWorks animated flick "Megamind." "Let California be the experiment."

Sting, Danny Glover, Melissa Etheridge and of course Bill Maher and "Hangover" actor Zach Galifianakis are among the "yes" votes -- though of course there are two sides to the argument, even if you lean Libertarian.

Which other celebs support Prop. 19, and why? Click on the photo of Snoop at right to launch a detailed photo gallery of a dozen or more entertainers who don't fear the reefer. What their weed habits say about them is something you'll have to find out for yourself.

Megan Fox for Armani undies: You loved the photos; now here's the video!


Megan fox Hard to imagine improving upon Megan Fox's smoldering images from her recent Emporio Armani underwear campaign. But the fashion house has managed -- by setting her in motion.

A new 30-second spot featuring the actress in her unmentionables has surfaced on the Web, and it hits all the important notes: a flirty but forgettable humming soundtrack, an adequate wind machine (a.k.a. diva fan) and, naturally, a skimpy black bra-and-panties set.

Indulge in the clip above and, oh, yeah -- you're welcome

HOT PHOTOS: Kellan Lutz for Calvin Klein underwear revealed

Kellanlutzcalvinklein2 Though Taylor Lautner's sculpted body was a major component in marketing "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," his vampire costar Kellan Lutz gives him a run for his money today with the release of Lutz's Calvin Klein underwear ad.

Lutz, 24, is one of four men chosen to represent Calvin Klein X -- a new range of briefs that will be marketed globally in the same campaign, encouraging their customers to "mark your spot."

Lutz is joined by "True Blood's" Mehcad Brooks, soccer star Hidetoshi Nakata and 26-year-old tennis pro Fernando Verdasco in the just-released stills. The guys were shot by fashion photog Mikael Jansson in New York.

Starting Feb. 15, you'll also see the men in action with video and digital components on a microsite devoted entirely to the undies (check out XMarkYourSpot.com after Valentine's Day). 

In a few short months, Lutz will hit to road with his fellow Cullens, such as Robert Pattinson, Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene and their on-screen human cohort Kristen Stewart, to promote "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse."

PREACH IT! Flee, tiny piglets, for you are free!

Piggies
Just before the Golden Globes, we told you about the GBK Productions gifting suite, which was offering all kinds of swag to show presenters and nominees. The freebies included jewelry, electronics -- and a free, miniature pet pig to anyone who took a one-hour training course.

The pigs -- dubbed Royal Dandies -- apparently walk on leashes and use litter boxes.

Now, an update on the Great Tiny Piglet Giveaway of 2010.

Apparently there are at least one or two people among this weekend’s Golden Globes luminaries who took up the offer for the free pet piglet. They just don’t want you to know who they are.
