Salma Hayek: "I'm Nobody's Barbie"

Posted on Thu Oct 6th, 2011 1:00pm PDT       By X17 Staff

HayekREdbook460.jpgSalma Hayek opens up about her marriage to French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault (he's worth $11.5 billion) in the latest issue of Redbook.

The Puss in Boots star, 44, says that while it's "nice" being married to a billionaire, she makes her own way:

    "I work hard, I make my own living and I love it. I like having financial independence. I don't ever want to have to depend on anyone completely."


Pinault, 49, is CEO of a company that owns several fashion labels, but Salma says her husband doesn't support her, and doesn't tell her how to dress either.

    "I’m still a Mexican. I like to play fashion with him, but I'm nobody's Barbie."


Pinault is currently in an expensive custody battle with ex Linda Evangelista.

Real men wear pink!

Well, it's more a coral hue, but nonetheless ... David Beckham hopped on his custom-made motorcycle in bold pants that are usually reserved for a catwalk rather than a hog ride.

The rest of him looked every bit the biker as he rode around Beverly Hills, from his beat up helmet to his worn-out leather jacket. And those black Ray-bans and brown lace-up boots? Just two of his fave riding accessories, as he's been spotted in both before.

Then again, when your wife is designer Victoria Beckham, you probably have a few more fashion tricks up your sleeve than the average biker.

Lady Gaga has met with the famous folks of the world -- Sting, Kanye West, you name it -- and now she's saying hats off to Philip Treacy!

She Tweeted, "Just another day in England having tea and hats with my darling friend Philip Treacy. Mint Blonde at Jonathan Ross"

Treacy is the famous British hat designer who's made chapeaus for the Royal family, including almost every hat at William and Kate's wedding. He's now expanding to the U.S. First, fashionista Sarah Jessica Parker sported one of his bonnets, and what other American is more famous for her fashion right now than Gaga?

Love it! Can't wait to see what Treacy creates for Mother Monster.

In other Gaga news, the Queen of Pop, royalty in her own right, is reportedly in talks to tour with Queen as the band's frontwoman. Gaga's name is actually taken from th Queen song "Radio Ga Ga" -- foreshadowing, anyone??

Scott Disick Wants To Marry Kourtney Kardashian In Italy

Posted on Thu Oct 6th, 2011 12:00pm PDT       By X17 Staff




For once, Scott Disick came off as almost likeable on camera!

Kris Jenner was filling in for Kathie Lee Gifford as Hoda Kotb's Today show co-host when the conversation (not at all surprisingly) turned to how quickly her daughters Khloe and Kim Kardashian got married.

Scott was in the studio with the duo, so Hoda asked him why he hasn't married his baby mama, Kris' oldest daughter Kourtney Kardashian, yet.

"You'd have to ask Kourtney that," Scott quipped.

Kris pressed on, assuming that if Disick "ever got married" to Kourtney it would probably be in Cabo. "Whoa, whoa, take it easy! Spice it up a little," Scott replied. "Maybe Lake Como. Give me a little glamour here. I'm not going to Mexico."

Also no surprise, Kris asked if she could start planning the wedding.

Oh, those Kardashian women!

Bethenny Frankel's mother, from whom the reality star is estranged, is still fighting her way toward the spotlight at her daughter's expense.

FrankelMomE230.jpgBernadette Birk tells Star that her daughter's marriage to businessman Jason Hoppy (above) will end. The two wed in March 2010. Bethenny's look-a-like mom (left) says:

    "Right now, he is a good father, but soon she [Bethenny] won't need him and she will dump him. ... Her husband seems like a really nice guy, but it won't last. He is really too weak for her."


Frankel has been open about her relationship with her mother on her Bravo reality show, Bethenny Ever After. Frankel says her mother was never really a parent, and was often more consumed with unhealthy relationships than with being a mom.

Like mother, like daughter? Who do you think is telling the truth?

Amanda Knox Is A Free Woman ... And Possibly A DJ

Posted on Thu Oct 6th, 2011 10:55am PDT       By X17 Staff

AmandaKnox100611.jpgAmanda Knox has only been a free woman for three days, but the job offers are already rolling in.

The American student had been sentenced to 26 years in prison for allegedly killing her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, while studying abroad in Italy in 2007. After spending four years in prison, she was acquitted Tuesday when an Italian appeals court overturned the murder conviction.

Now, Knox's hometown of Seattle is welcoming her back with open arms, with local top 40 radio station KQMV offering her a DJ gig. Movin 92.5 posted the following request:

    "We’re glad you’re free AMANDA and look forward to welcoming you home! We believed in you all along, so much so, that we would like to extend an offer of $10,000 to you to come host our morning show for one week with BROOKE & JUBAL in the morning! We would all love to hear what you have to say and maybe help a little with the legal bills. Once again, welcome home!"


It's a lovely offer, but we have a feeling she's going to be a little busy catching up with her family and seeing if she can sell her story to, oh, ABC, having been in an Italian prison for four years and all. But we do think she'd make one interesting DJ!
