JCPenney Hires Ellen DeGeneres, Gets Heat From Anti-Gay Group
Ellen DeGeneres has won 16 Daytime Emmys and seven People's Choice Awards, and is a TV and print spokeswoman for CoverGirl and American Express.
So no one batted an eye when she added JCPenney to her résumé, right?
Wrong, believe it or not.

What's With Jessica Simpson and That Toilet Tweet?
Here's something we don't see every day—which is probably good for health-code reasons.
Along with a tweet that read, "Short girl problems," Jessica Simpson posted a photo yesterday of a pair of cute bare feet.
A pair of cute bare feet dangling a few inches above the floor that are attached to a woman sitting on the toilet, that is.
Us Weekly reported that the presumed shot of Simpson was taken while she was using the ladies room at the very high-end Bergdorf Goodman in Manhattan.
But would Simpson have really abandoned her shoes—not to mention her boundaries—while shopping?

It's Anne Hathaway and Sarah Jessica Parker's lucky day.
Why? Because their admitted style obsession Kate Middleton's go-to footwear designer has opened a store in New Jersey—just a quick hop over for these stylish New Yorkers.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know exactly which label we're talking about...
Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian, Sarah Jessica Parker: Find Out Who's Appearing at Fashion's Night Out!
It only makes sense that one of the biggest stars in the world is joining forces with one of the biggest shopping events in the world.
Justin Bieber is set to host Dolce & Gabbana's Fashion's Night Out bash tonight in New York City. In its third year, the fashion and shopping extravaganza that kicks off Fashion Week is getting bigger and better.
The Biebs, who's been hitting the red carpet in a lot of D&G lately, will be cohosting the bash with manager Scooter Braun, L.A. Reid and more famous faces. Proceeds from the night will benefit a cause close to the "Baby" singer's heart: Pencils of Promise, a charity the 17-year-old supports.
Selena Gomez's BF is just one of a slew of A-listers who are planning to hit the FNO party circuit...
Angelina Jolie Takes Daughters on Whirlwind Shopping Spree
It seems pretty evident that the Jolie-Pitts are enjoying their time overseas while daddy Brad Pitt is filming World War Z.
We saw the kids spend some quality time with good ole grandpa, and now Angelina Jolie took her daughters Shiloh and Zahara for a retail-therapy girls day out on London's King's Road.
And as you'd expect, they shopped till they dropped (a lotta cash, that is).
Leo & Blake: Going Strong as They Get Their Shop On!
Hmmm, we totally thought this couple was down for the count (and we still stand by that it's only a matter of time), but it appears Leonardo DiCaprio and Blake Lively are continuing to give this relaysh a chance.
And in their first smart move yet: not so publicly this time!
While just this morning a supersolid Leo source confirmed to us that "the breakup rumors are not true," this afternoon we got word of a sly sighting of DiLively shopping together at Solstice Sunglass Boutique at the Paseo Nuevo Mall in downtown Santa Barbara.
And the duo were not pleased when fans spotted them…
Where Is Suri Cruise Shopping Now?
Chic fashion isn't the only luxury Suri Cruise seems to enjoy.
The 4-year-old fashionista was by her mama Katie Holmes' side just the other day when she popped into an über-posh Beverly Hills shop...
Lindsay Lohan "Getting Healthy" and Looking Good Doing It
A source close to Lindsay Lohan confirms L.L. is still residing in the main Betty Ford Center and has not yet transitioned into residential sober living, or "residential day treatment," in Rancho Mirage, Calif..
However, Linds was able to take a break and get some retail therapy at Forever 21 in Palm Desert this past Tuesday.
"She looked good. She had her hair down and was wearing sunglasses, a white T-shirt and jeans," says an employee who wished to remain unnamed. "She seemed pleasant."
So could things really be turning around for Lohan? According to her business partner, that's a yes.
UPDATE!
Jason Bateman Gets iBooed
UPDATE: Not so fast, haters:
"There wasn't one boo," the actor tweeted. "Not one hiss. The Apple guy brought me in away from the paparazzi. Period. I was content in line. I wish I'd stayed." So there you have it.

Arrested development, or perfectly understandable?
Jason Bateman wasn't the most popular kid on the block Wednesday at the Grove in L.A. when Apple Store employees plucked him out of line and personally escorted him inside—allowing him to go ahead of a reported 2,000 gadget lovers who were waiting to get their hands on the new iPhone 4.
At least Apple was providing complimentary water bottles to the thirsty tech fiends, right?
Let's just say, the boos coming from the crowd as Bateman left the store, awesome new phone in hand, really said it all.

If any of those Bateman haters had been famous, maybe they would have made it into our Flipping the Bird gallery.
