She's coming out of hiding y'all!
It was announced today that new mom Jessica Simpson will be the first guest on Katie Couric's new talk show
Katie, set to premiere Sept. 10. Simpson is not only set show off the results of her post-pregnancy weight loss, she will also discuss her "most intense challenges - including losing the weight she put on during pregnancy - the journey to get back into shape... and how she's learned to juggle motherhood and her billion dollar business empire," a rep for the TV show said in a statement.
The Texas native inked a $4 million deal with Weight Watchers to shed the pounds she gained while carrying daughter Maxwell. The 32-year-old gained an estimated 50 pounds, and has been working with trainer Harley Pasternak to tone and tighten while following the weight loss program.
The margarita-loving singer has not only adopted a healthier lifestyle, she's also cut back on her alcohol consumption. Although the blonde bombshell must lose a reported 20-30 pounds in an alloted time frame, she insists her slim down is on her own terms. "Weight Watchers hasn't put
any pressure on me! I'm trying to be as healthy as I can be for myself and I feel great," she insisted.
Also tapped to appear on the episode is musician Sheryl Crow, who happens to sing the original theme song for the daytime gab fest.
We can't wait for the big reveal!

Why the change of hues, Miss Heard?
We caught Amber Heard going for a stroll through NYC with her little dog, and we almost didn't recognize her! The former blonde bombshell is now a brunette!
The
Rum Diaries star debuted a light chesnut 'do on her jaunt in the Big Apple, and we must say we're loving the new look! We have to wonder if the hair color change is meant to be a disguise?
Rumors swirled months ago that the 26-year-old actress was enjoying a secret romance with recently separated actor Johnny Depp, but we've yet to see photographic proof of the supposed pair together, so we guess only time will tell if the former co-stars are, indeed, lovebirds too!
The
blonde brunette beauty has been hard at work filming
Paranoia with Miley Cryus' main man Liam Hemsworth. The film follows a boss who blackmails an employee to spy on a rival company.
We're dying to know if our favorite
Pirate of the Caribbean has visited the set!

Mel Gibson went OFF on a paparazzo photographer Monday afternoon in Malibu, flying into a screaming rage in front of an entire mini mall of on-lookers.
The notoriously hot-tempered actor went after after two different photographers (no X17 guys) who were snapping pix of him and his daughter Lucia. He had warned the paps to leave him alone but when that didn't happen, he went WILD!
He approached one photographer, yelling and waving his hands ... until he'd had enough with his first victim. Then he went after another guy who had pretended to be a patron of the frozen yogurt store where Mel was with his daughter. Mel wasn't buying it, spotted the camera in the guy's bag, and went after him too.
In the end, Mel begged off, went back to his daughter and the girl's nanny, and went home. But the photographers and by-standers were left with the mouths hanging open after seeing one of the biggest actors around put on the performance of a lifetime!

Jessica Alba sported head-to-toe neutrals Monday while shopping in Beverly Hills.
But the actress/entrepreneur is anything but neutral about her eco baby products business, The Honest Company. She recently sat down with a reporter from
Forbes magazine to talk shop ...
Jess gave her top three pieces of career advice for young women:
- Understand the marketplace for your business—it’s key.
- Have realistic business expectations and come to terms with the fact that it may be too much of a lofty dream and tailor your business plan appropriately.
- Stick to your guns—if someone can persuade you to depart from your idea, it’s a sign that the business might not be the right fit for you.
Sounds like a plan!

Lindsay Lohan is a suspect in the theft of $100K-worth of jewelry and sunglasses from the Hollywood Hills home where she was staying last week, according to TMZ.
X17online broke the news of the robbery that took place at the multi-million dollar home of businessman Samir Magid the night that Lindsay and her assistant Gavin Doyle spent the night there with Lindsay's brother Cody and two other friends.
As we reported, police were at the home early on Monday, Aug. 20 and
returned around 2pm when Lindsay and her pal were questioned by detectives.
The report claims police have independent sources who can ID Lindsay and Gavin as the thieves. Meanwhile, Magid originally reported the theft but later recanted his story and said nothing was stolen. Hmmm ....

Kim Kardashian started off her day at Barry's Boot Camp in the valley, and immediately after that she went to a nearby Pilates studio. Not only is Kim working hard to stay in shape, but she's walking into the gym around the time the rest of us are getting up every morning ... Our photographers tell us the reality TV starlet left her pad around 6am! "Early morning double workout. Bootcamp & pilates," she tweeted. "Love starting my Monday like this!"
While she may be dedicated to early morning sweat sessions, she'll always have a little extra junk in the trunk no matter how much cardio she does. Over the weekend Kim tweeted the picture below and wrote, "Ummm in a fitting w @MonicaRoseStyle I think my butt looks too big in these jeans."
We love her just the way she is ... and we bet beau Kanye West does too!

It has been said that exercise relieves tension, so hopefully some intense cycling did the trick!
Mila Kunis attended an LA area spin class today, and the
Ted actress looked a little stressed on her way out. Cheer up girl!
It's totally normal that the brunette beauty opted to go makeup-free for her workout, but something about her face looks a little bloated, even though the rest of her body appears toned... are romantic dinners with boyfriend Ashton Kutcher causing her to pack on a couple pounds?
Given that she's one of Hollywood's hottest stars, the Oscar nominee was probably just having an off day from her beauty routine. We bet her
Two and a Half Men beau prefers her au naturel anyway!
