Critics, be damned! Bond plants a public kiss on his new bride.

Quick refresher course: In early June, Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz shocked fans and foes when they secretly wed. The nuptials were particularly gossip-worthy given that both had recently split from their respective spouses-to-be.

So yes, you could say that the out-of-the-blue betrothment was on the controversial side (what, with two jilted lovers, one of whom is Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky), which is probably why the new Mr. and Mrs. 007 have been laying low. Either that or they’ve just been holed up making mad, passionate amour for two months.

Singer admits to starving herself before magazine photo shoot.

Rihanna is at the centre of yet another controversy — but thankfully, it has nothing to do with Chris Brown, her exploits at an Ottawa sex shop with Drake, or even the copyright infringement lawsuit against her.

A couple of days ago, Rihanna took to Twitter — as she often does, about anything and everything — and informed her followers on how she prepared for her latest magazine cover shoot.

“#RihannaNavy I shot my first cover for Esquire yesterday with Russell James #rockstars*** Not much preparation for that besides wax+starve!!”

A Star report claims the singer will bite your head off – Ozzy Osbourne bat-style – if you dare to call her fat.

One of the unfortunate (but inevitable) features of modern celebrity involves an LHC-level scrutiny of physical appearance. I mean, it’s always been about physical appearance to some degree, but now, more than ever, careers are built on t&a. Just think of the reason most of your favourite pop stars are famous. Chances are that for around 80 per cent of them it has little to do with their skills on the autotune microphone.

When looks begin to trump talent in the celebrity criteria department, it’s easy to conceive how overwhelming it must be to look youthful, dewy, skinny and perfect all the time. I mean, imagine you’re an aging actress or singer who’s known for her looks and you hear your career death knell for no other reason than a few itinerant laugh lines.

This obsession even hits the artists who have attained icon status, like Madonna, whose biceps could easily transform rocks into diamonds and who injects the souls of her young boy-toys into her cheeks to keep her face baby smooth. (What? You thought she was keeping them around for their scintillating company?) So if you want to stay on Madonna’s good side, tell her how beautiful she looks. If you want to invite swift and painful death, tell her she’s looking a little lumpy in the thigh vicinity.

Charlie “doesn’t seem interested in seeing Bob and Max.”

Well, this is rich. Even though their mother, Brooke Mueller, is in rehab, Bob and Max haven’t seen their dad, Charlie Sheen, in nearly a month.

It’s hard enough making sure a child is taken care of in the most average of circumstances, but while it would seem easier to be the offspring of a celebrity — what with the opportunities, the money, the privliege — Sheen and Mueller are proving that’s not the case for their twin boys.

After his ex disses his bedroom skills, Bunnies rush to Hugh Hefner's defence.

Earlier this week Crystal Harris (a.k.a. the Runaway Bunny Bride) dished about her less than impressive sexual romps with her former fiancé Hugh Hefner. Most egregiously, the centerfold claimed that sex with Hef lasted “two seconds,” which is certainly not the kind of thing the world’s most beloved granddaddy lothario wants going around.

The singer engages in a little TMI at a recent concert.

Though I’m not a fan of Enrique Iglesias’s music (I’ve always maintained he’s the Britney Spears of male pop stars – hot, great entertainer, distinctive voice, but not much of a singer), one thing I do love about him is his wicked sense of humour and the fact that he doesn’t seem to take himself that seriously.

For instance, he joked about being a virgin back in 1999 when a journalist asked him about his sex symbol status, and he tends to come off as self-deprecating and down-to-earth in his interviews.

That being said, he may have gone a little *ahem* too hard on the shtick at his Sydney concert the other night, where he proclaimed to have “the smallest penis in the world.” You can find the long and short of it (sorry) after the jump.

Woman scores an iPod for predicting when Winehouse would die.

This may be the most repulsive, distasteful tidbit I’ve encountered in a long time. There is a website that started around 2007 that asked people to predict when Amy Winehouse would die. Considering the awful timing, one would think that was horrible enough — but that’s not the worst of it.

In Touch claims old habits die hard for the former Disney star.

Lindsay Lohan who? Just six months after getting out of rehab, Demi Lovato may be falling back into the partying lifestyle that kickstarted her troubles in the first place.

Despite being very honest about her treatment for eating disorders and depression, which resulted in her cutting, In Touch is reporting that the former Disney star is back to her old (read: bad) habits and insiders are concerned that she might be headed toward another nervous breakdown.

A report says the 17-year-old is following in his father’s bad boy footsteps.

It’s hard enough to raise a healthy, well-adjusted child these days (so major kudos to the dedicated parents who are managing that feat). Now imagine what it’s like to be the child of a celebrity, particularly when your dad is the supremely talented, but sanctimonious, angry, drug-loving womanizer, Sean Penn.

The "S&M" singer goes on a shopping spree with Drake at an Ottawa S&M shop.

Ridrake

If I were DJ’ing Rihanna’s recent trip to the Ottawa sex shop Wicked Wanda’s Adult Emporium, I’d open with Rihanna’s own “S&M" — hey, it's topical, and it's a crowd-pleaser. As a finale for this special occasion, I’d close my set with Peaches & Herb’s "Reunited". And it does feel so good! Why? Because RiRi was spotted there with an ex-flame who is NOT Chris Brown.
