Aww, too bad Kobe and company lost to the Chicago Bulls by a single point!
Megan Fox and hubby Brian Austin Green attended the Lakers game in Los Angeles on Christmas day, and the duo didn't seem to mind having their picture taken when they entered the Staples Center. The last few times we've spotted Megan out and about in LA, she hasn't pulled her usual duck and cover routine with photogs, so it's a nice change of pace to see
her pretty face!
Check out the video below to see who else headed to the Staples Center on Sunday!

Pirelli
Pirelli's annual calendar is usually topless, so Kate Moss' teeny tiny bikini isn't too shocking!
The 37-year-old supermodel, looking drenched while posing against a wall, starts off the photo shoot wearing this barely-there swimsuit, but eventually loses the top. No doubt, celebrity photographer Mario Sorrenti was able to capture Moss at her finest. Lucky guy.
Moss and eleven other beauties were flown to the Mediterranean island of Corsica for the sultry shoot. Little known fact ... Moss dated Sorrenti when she was just 17!
Some of the other ladies featured in the 2012 calendar include Dutch beauty Saskia de Brauw and actress Milla Jovovich.

Kim Kardashian will
not be ringing in the new year $600,000 richer, according to her rep.
The 31-year-old reality star reportedly scored a six-figure deal for an appearance at Tao nightclub in Las Vegas -- in addition to a few other Sin City appearances -- but Kim's rep tells us the claims are "absolutely false."
A source with a knowledge of Kim's business affairs confirms to X17online the starlet consistently draws over-the-top crowds, and for that reason, she commands $600K - $700K for personal appearances, but that's not
always the case for Miss Kardashian!
Kim may not be raking in
that much dough this year for New Year's Eve, but The Black Eyed Peas are making $100,000 for a performance at 1Oak at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas, according to the
NY Post. Not a bad payday!

Jennifer Hudson has revealed that she passed on the starring role in
Precious because she didn't want to pack on the pounds!
In her new book,
I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down, the 30-year-old singer/actress explains why she turned down the chance to play a character that might have earned her yet another Academy Award.
"I had [gained weight] with Effie [in
Dreamgirls]," she writes (via
Uptown Magazine, who snagged an excerpt from her novel). "And as much as I was moved by this film, I wanted to try a role that had nothing whatsoever to do with my weight." Adding that she didn't want to be pigeon-holed as the “big girl," Hudson's decision to pass on the role opened the doors for relatively unknown actress Gabourey Sidibe to take over, earning her an Oscar nod in 2009.
Over the years Hudson has dropped 80 pounds with the help of Weight Watchers, and she continues to serve as a spokeswoman for the company.
