Gigi Hadid is a thing now, just FYI. She’s been an “It Girl” for months, and she worked non-stop during New York, London and Paris Fashion Weeks. I actually think she’s got a better “look” (beautiful face) and more potential career longevity than Kendall Jenner. These are photos of Gigi with her boyfriend Cody Simpson in Miami this weekend – she’s only 19 (she will be 20 next month) and she works non-stop. While these photos might look like she’s just on vacation with her Aussie boyfriend, she was actually in Miami for work. She hosted the Victoria’s Secret Pink Spring Break party. And one Miami blog claimed Gigi was seen snorting cocaine at the party! Gigi took the site to task on Twitter.

Gigi Hadid wants her fans to know she absolutely did not do any drugs at her spring break event this weekend. After heading to Miami with boyfriend Cody Simpson to host Victoria’s Secret Pink Spring Break, the supermodel came across a publication with a headline and photo that suggested she was snorting cocaine. As it turns out, the story couldn’t be farther from the truth.

“@OCEANUP you are the pits of the world. It’s very sad that you need to go to those lengths for someone to maybe read your s–t blog,” she tweeted. “If u actually watch the video there is nothing on the counter .5 sec’s before you see that image…It’s not only impossible but insane to me.”

She further went on to assure fans that she would never do such a thing, especially when her career was involved.

“Besides for doing the supposed in general, I’d be an idiot to do that at a WORK EVENT in front of hundreds of people/press,” she explained. “I’m insulted.”

“I take pride in being a good role model,” she added on Twitter. “Would never touch that, & will not stand for or put up with a little piece of scum blog like OU.”

Huh. While I don’t doubt that these young models live in a very fast-paced, drug-friendly world, I tend to believe her when she says she wouldn’t do coke… while working. And possibly she wouldn’t do coke in general. Gigi doesn’t have the reputation as a sloppy party girl model at all – that would be Cara Delevingne. Gigi and Cara are friends though. Hm…

PS… These high-waisted bikini bottoms remind me of Taylor Swift. I feel like Swifty really lead the movement to bring back high-waisted everything. Also: Gigi’s bikini top is barely clasped!

The Bourne Identity star Matt Damon stepped out with daughter Gia in Los Angeles, Calif. on Saturday (March 14). Toting her backpack and a towel, the Academy Award-winner walked hand-in-hand with his daughter while heading to a friend’s house for a playdate.

Dressed in all purple, the adorable 6-year-old wore flip flops just like her famous father.

The Contagion actor, 44, and his wife Luciana Barroso are also parents to daughters Alexia, 16, Isabella, 8, and Stella, 4.

The Good Will Hunting star moved his family from NYC to L.A. to be closer to good pals like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.

“Basically all of our friends with little kids are out there [in L.A.],” Matt shared. “We’re a little conflicted. We love it here, we’re really happy here and New York will always be here. It might just turn out to be a little jaunt out there and then a return…It’s hard to leave here.”

The Boston-born family man is set to begin production on his latest film, The Great Wall, in China at the end of March.

Justin Bieber had a big weekend. He turned 21 a few weeks ago but officially celebrated his birthday in Vegas, nightclub style. Earlier that day, Swaggy was roasted for Comedy Central in LA. I think the remarks outside the venue were more interesting than the ones inside the event. Hannibal Burress told the press, “I would not call myself a Belieber. I’m a disbelieber. Martha Stewart said she had “some questions” about Bieber’s Calvin Klein ads. Why did Martha show up? #savetheeggs

The episode will air on March 30. Like many roasts, several jokes slipped out to the media. Most of them weren’t funny. A lot of the jokes were really raunchy and can’t be repeated here. Bieber’s guests took several swings at Selena Gomez, which doesn’t seem fair. Here are a few “highlights”:

Kevin Hart: “Orlando Bloom took a swing at you; you have a perfume called Girlfriend; you threw eggs at a house – not gangsta.”

Shaquille O’Neal: “Justin as a father of six you have to straighten up, son. Last year, you were ranked the fifth most-hated person of all time. Kim Jong-Un didn’t rank that high. And he uses your music to torture people.”

Ludacris: “Justin wants to be black so bad he’s actually seen Kevin Hart’s movies in theaters.”

Snoop Dogg: “Justin’s life changed when Usher heard one of his songs and liked it, which only goes to prove that Usher ain’t black.”

Bieber’s rebuttal: “What do you get when you give a teenager $200 million? A bunch of has-beens calling you a lesbian for two hours … I turned a plane into a bong. I turned a lot of people off the past few years. There was really no preparing me for this life. I was thrown into this at 12 years old, and I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into. There’s been moments I’m really proud of and a lot of moments I look back and I’m pretty disappointed with myself for. But the things that I’ve done really don’t define who I am. I’m a kind-hearted person who loves people and through it all, lost some of my best qualities. For that, I’m sorry. But what I can say is that I’m looking forward to being someone you can look at and be proud of. I’m excited to see what’s next. You have my word — I will not end up broken, pathetic, bitter or sitting on someone else’s roast. I’m at a moment of change. This is a new day. … I’m going to Vegas … on my jet, bitch!”

More jokes can be found at the Cosmo link. This is all part of Swaggy’s redemption tour. He’s trying to prove he’s a man, and this coming-of-age tale involves being the butt of tasteless jokes. Bieber became famous at a young age, but that doesn’t excuse his “breaking the law” attitude. He keeps apologizing though. Only time will tell whether he’s serious.

I’m including photos of some attendees. Scooter Braun, Chrissy Teigen, and Carly Rae Jepsen’s new red hair showed up. The beleaguered Seth Rogen did not accept his invite. Bieber really spiffed himself up for this roast. He got some caramelized highlights to accessorize his dirt lip. Swag.

Over the weekend US Weekly reported that Chris Evans and Lily Collins are dating. This random duo met at the Vanity Fair Oscars party last month, and according to the unnamed—of course—source quoted, it’s the “beginning stages” and they’re “having a lot o…      

Taylor Swift may have insured her legs for $40 million. Eh. I wrote about it a few weeks ago, when I read the original story in the National Enquirer. Since then, every major outlet has picked up the story and acted like it’s totally for sure. Taylor Swift did not confirm or deny it, which is interesting. She denies all the dating rumors, but not the insurance rumors? Hm. So maybe she did insure her legs? I have no idea. But if she did, her kitty Meredith owes her a lot of money. Swifty posted this photo this weekend:

GREAT WORK MEREDITH
I WAS JUST TRYING TO LOVE YOU AND NOW YOU OWE ME 40 MILLION DOLLARS pic.twitter.com/Zsaa08EqPS

First of all, OUCH. I hate cat scratches. I have the kind of sensitive skin where even if I get a small cat scratch, my skin swells up and I’m itching for days. Meredith drew major blood, y’all. She must have been pissed at Swifty. Second of all, this is a cute way to dismiss the insurance rumors. Except now I sort of believe them – maybe she didn’t insure her legs for $40 million, but there’s some insurance somewhere, about something.

Meanwhile, Taylor was on hand to celebrate Este Haim’s birthday a few days ago, and Swifty posted this IG video of herself and the Haim sisters singing along to a song in the back of an SUV. Cute.

Last thing – Swifty really, really loves Kendrick Lamar.

KENDRICK PUT HIS ALBUM OUT EARLY.

NO ONE TOUCH ME.

New mom-of-four Cate Blanchett hit the blue carpet at the premiere of Cinderella in Sydney, Australia on Sunday (March 15).

While promoting her new hit Disney film, in which she plays the evil stepmother, Cate opened up about adopting her baby girl, Edith Vivian Patricia, from the U.S.

“Fourth time around,” the actress, also mom to sons Dashiell, 13, Roman, 10, and Ignatius, 6, told Sky News. “It’s extraordinary.”

The Academy Award-winning actress, 45, who has been married to playwright Andrew Upton for 17 years, went on to talk about the joys of adoption.

“There’s a lot of children out there who don’t have the good fortunate that our biological children, so it’s wonderful,” she revealed. “It’s wonderful to welcome a little girl into our fold.”

Dressed in a Roksanda Ilincic dress at the premiere, the actress added, “We’re besotted.”

When reporters asked if the adoption process is difficult in her native Australia, she revealed the birth country of her baby girl.

“I think it is … well I haven’t been through it here. It was in the United States,” she told Fairfax Media.

The Blanchett-Uptons are set to relocate to the United States at the end of the year once Upton’s term as the Sydney Theatre Company’s artistic director comes to an end.

“We’re all looking forward to spending more time together in one place. We spent nine years living in England and we loved it. But now we’d like to try America. They have terrific [opportunities in] television there and Cate has a very strong film career there, too, obviously,” Upton said.

Here are some photos from this weekend’s amfAR party/gala in Hong Kong. I’m surprised by how many Western celebrities flew to Hong Kong for yet another amfAR gala, you know? I mean, amfAR is a great foundation and every little bit helps. But it feels like everyone attending this event had an ulterior motive, or perhaps they were paid to show up? In any case, the gala raised $4 million. Which was probably the cost of Gwyneth Paltrow’s rather gorgeous Harry Winston diamond earrings.

Gwyneth wore this Marc Jacobs gown in a pretty blue/purple. I was okay with the “bumps” at the collar, but I’m less sure about the “bumps” on the skirt. It feels like Gwyneth is trying to channel posh bubble wrap. As for her styling… she looks really pretty. Her hair (which was done by Marco Chan for D&V Hairpieces) looks great and her makeup is simple and pretty. I really do love those Harry Winston earrings too. Goop has really been bringing the jewelry p0rn for big red carpets lately.

I’m also including some photos of the other ladies at the event. Kate Moss also wore Marc Jacobs, as did Naomi Campbell (Jacobs was one of the sponsors of the event). Victoria Beckham is in her own design (and she wants her line to be huge in China). And here’s the kicker: Paris Hilton was there! Gwyneth and Paris totally walked the same carpet. How gauche.

While Chris Martin was at the beach with their kids and Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow spent 24 hours in Hong Kong to host the first Hong Kong amfAR Gala, raising a reported $4 million for AIDS research and honouring Michelle Yeoh for her work in raising AIDS awareness.

Just a note on this issu…
