Kristen Bell & Rachel Bilson: LA Gal Pals

Out for a shopping spree, celebrity friends Kristen Bell and Rachel Bilson were spotted spending the day together on Friday (June 15) in Los Angeles, CA.

The adorable girls seemed to be having a great time sharing laughs as the blonde beauty rocked a pair of printed pants and mini booties, while the “Heart of Dixie” starlet looked fresh in a white skirt matched with a teal handbag.

In other news, the “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” star has accepted a new role, this time voicing an animated character in the new Disney flick “Frozen”.

The movie is loosely based on an 1845 version of “The Snow Queen” by Hans Christian Andersen and Miss Bell will play the role of Anna, “a young girl who ventures to find the Snow Queen and end the perpetual winter that has fallen over their mythical kingdom.”

The talented Idina Menzel will play the voice of the Snow Queen in the film that’s set to release in November 2013.

Jessica Simpson And Beyonce: From One Mommy Mogul To Another

Maxwell's mom can learn a lot from another superstar mama, Queen B.
By John Mitchell

<P>Jessica Simpson is basking in the glow of new motherhood after giving birth to her daughter, Maxwell Drew Johnson, on Tuesday, but if we know anything about celebrity moms, she'll be back to work in no time flat.</P><P>While she hasn't released an album of new material since 2008's country crossover record <i>Do You Know,</i> Simpson remains a true mogul. Her fashion line, the Jessica Simpson Collection, is the most successful ever for a celebrity. What began as a vanity line of bags and shoes has transformed into a billion-dollar brand that now also includes clothing, jewelry, fragrances and sunglasses.</P><P><CENTER></CENTER></P><P>The dueling pulls of motherhood and celebrity create a tough balancing act for a new mom, but being a mogul already is evidence enough that Simpson can wear a lot of hats. Just look at Beyoncé, another multi-hyphenate superstar with a newborn who is already plotting her return to form.</P><P>Indeed, Queen B is a perfect example of exactly how to balance early motherhood with the rigors of being a mogul. She's done things her way and is readying her musical comeback with several planned dates in Atlantic City, currently appears on the cover ofPeople's Most Beautiful issue (a covert and classy post-baby body reveal, in true Beyonc&#233; style) and has even suggested she may at some point create a line of maternity clothes for her House of Dereon fashion line, telling Harper's Bazaar late last year, "I love figuring out designs that still make me feel edgy and sexy while pregnant."</P><P>Here are the three ways Jessica should look to Beyonce for post-baby mommy mogul inspiration:</P><P><big><b>Bouncing Back Professionally</b></big><br> Simpson's focus has switched from music to television in recent years, though she has never ruled out returning to the studio. Motherhood is a subject that has proven to be ace songwriting material for several pop divas, most notably Madonna. Madonna's 1998 album <i>Ray of Light</i> was inspired by the changes having a child had on her life, from her pursuit of spirituality post-baby to the change in her priorities once Lourdes entered the picture. The album went on to become one of her best-selling and most acclaimed, scoring five Grammy nominations, including Album and Record of the Year, and winning three awards. Its success reinvigorated the star, who returned to touring a few years later with a bang and has been on the road multiple times since, setting records along the way.</P><P>Beyonc&#233; is reportedly already working on not one, but two records, and it goes without saying that baby Blue Ivy and the experience of motherhood will be a chief topic of her songwriting. She's also set to make her return to the stage for three concerts at the re-launch of Atlantic City's Revel Entertainment Center over Memorial Day weekend.</P><P>Simpson would be smart to put all the emotions she's feeling now to good use and start penning tracks for her return to music. The very emotions she's feeling now are the things that make for the best songs, something Beyonc&#233; is seemingly well-aware of.</P><P><big><b>Working on Your Fitness</b></big><br> Jessica seems intent to make her post-baby weight loss a public affair (Get it? That song is her most underrated jam!) with a reported multimillion-dollar endorsement deal with Weight Watchers, clearly taking a cue from B by keeping it healthy.</P><P>Unlike so many other celebrities, who rush hard in ways that cannot be good for them to get their figures ready for "How I Got My Body Back" tabloid photo shoots as if it were some sort of competition, Beyonc&#233; didn't appear to feel any sort of rush to get her pre-baby figure back. According to her People interview, she has relied on a healthy, protein-heavy diet and three 90-minute workout sessions per week, mixing things up by combining running, dancing and exercise ball crunches. And the results speak for themselves: Four months later she looks fantastic, if not yet back to her perfect pre-baby figure. (Which is just fine; regardless of what the tabloids tell you, it is unnatural for the mother of a newborn to look as if she never had a baby in the first place just a few months after giving birth.)</P><P>"I feel my body bouncing back," B told <i>People.</i> "Whatever was tight and muscular, like my legs, I'm seeing it come back. You just have to work at it."</P><P>And work at it is exactly what Jessica will do &#8212; just in a more public setting than B. In the scheme of diets, Weight Watchers is among the healthiest and most effective. The program helps participants lose weight by forming helpful habits, eating smarter, getting more exercise and providing support, and has proven successful for such celebs as Jennifer Hudson.</P><P>Having negotiated her contract with the company in December, she may not be taking her cues from Beyonc&#233; here, but they clearly share the same mind-set when it comes to post-baby weight loss. Slow, steady, healthy and long-term is the goal.</P><P><big><b>Creating Products</b></big><br> While Beyonc&#233; doesn't have a line of baby clothes just yet, she has mentioned being interested in creating a maternity line for her House of Dereon label. Jessica may have a leg up on Beyonc&#233; in this department, given the breadth of products that have popped up under her Jessica Simpson Collection label.</P><P>As both moms search for ways into the elusive baby market, Christopher Gavigan, who works with Jessica Alba on her Honest brand, told MTV News that he urges celebrity moms like B and Jessica to stick to what they love when it comes to branding.</P><P>"Find what you're passionate about and go do that," he advised. "You articulate that in a brand or in a way you feel from a business perspective that you feel you get your focus articulated in some meaningful or special way. A lot of it is partnerships and leveraging the greatest assets of each other."</P><P><i>What else can Jessica learn from Beyonc&#233; &#8212; or vice versa? Let us know in the comments below!</i></P><P></p>

Justin Bieber Plays To Massive Crowd In Mexico City

'Every one of you is my biggest fan,' he told concertgoers when he took the stage Monday night in Mexico.
By Jocelyn Vena

<P>Justin Bieber's free concert in Mexico City on Monday night was welcomed by hundreds of thousands of screaming fans who turned up to be blown away by the teen star.</P><P>According to Bieber's camp, there were upwards of 300,000 fans who showed up to see the Believe singer perform.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Justin Bieber Opens Up About Voice Change" id="vid:765700" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>"The pics of the crowds look CRAZY here in MEXICO CITY!! IM HYPED!! This is going to be fun! MEXICO I LOVE YOU! Te AMO MUCHO!!" Bieber tweeted, later adding, "everything about tonight was special. it is everything we stand for. alot of emotions but it was worth it. 300,000 people. Te Amo MEXICO. NO ONE CAN EVER TAKE AWAY YOUR DREAMS! BELIEVE. DREAM BIG!"</P><P>Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, tweeted that the show presented an "iconic moment." According to The Associated Press,</i> the 18-year-old played several tracks including "Baby," "One Less Lonely Girl" (during which he brought a fan onstage) and "Somebody to Love." There were approximately 5,000 police officers on hand to make sure the crowds remained as in control as possible.</P><P>"Mexico City, there is a lot of people today!" Bieber reportedly yelled to the crowd at the Z&#243;calo in between songs. "Every one of you is my biggest fan."</P><P>While his fans displayed their devotion for the singer by braving the crowd to see him perform, in a press conference earlier that day, Bieber admitted there's only one guy <i>he</i> would camp out to see perform. "There is no one I admire so much to do something crazy, but if Michael Jackson were here," he said, "I would do it for him. So, I do understand the emotion that the girls feel, and that makes me feel very honored."</P><P>Before taking the stage, Bieber opened up about the performance in a video he shot backstage. "I can't say how thankful I am ... This show here in Mexico City, it's going to be incredible. I just wanted to make this video and tell you guys you inspire me just as much as I inspire you. God has really blessed me," he says amid the shouts of his fans in the background. He added, "I hope to have this journey for a long time."</P><P>Bieber has been traveling the globe and playing free shows, including headline-making stops in Oslo, Norway, and Paris. He will officially hit the road on his already sold-out Believe Tour later this year.</P><P></p>
