George Clooney Get Dirty Campaigning For Award Recognition

Poor George Clooney says that he feels “unclean” after awards season.  The 50-year-old Clooney began humanitarian work in Sudan in 2005 after “campaigning” to be recognized for his movie achievements left him feeling the need to do something more meaningful and beneficial to the world.

George says: “I had just come out of Oscar season and you really do campaign, like kissing babies.”  “By the time it’s over, you sort of feel unclean.”  “You want to do something that makes you feel better.”

Following his first trip to the war-torn country with his father, George donated money to build a well and huts, but soon learned that others means to help might be more useful.

He explained: “A year later, the next-door villagers, who wanted water and needed shelter, killed some people to get to that well and shelter.“  “It’s devastating. We have to be very careful – sometimes helping is not throwing money at a problem.”

George believes other celebrities should follow his lead and use their positions to help the world.
He added to Marie Claire magazine: “There is ever more attention on celebrity than ever – and there is a use for that besides selling products.”

“We can’t make policy but we can ‘encourage’ politicians more than ever before.”

Gwyneth Paltrow: Porto Cervo Bikini Babe!

She definitely still has it at the ripe age of 38-years-old, as Gwyneth Paltrow was a sight to be seen while vacationing in Porto Cervo, Italy over the past few days (July 7-8).

The Oscar-winning actress flaunted her too-hot bikini body, as she was clad in a hot pink number and a silver two-piece swimsuit during a yacht vacation aboard Steven Spielberg's luxury vessel.

With her young children Apple and Moses along for the adventure, as well as her brother Jake, the group cruised around the Mediterranean Sea while partaking in fun-filled activities including jet-skiing and other water toys.

Miss Paltrow also made sure to keep up on her fitness routine - which can be attributed to her fabulous physique - as she spent plenty of time running on Spielberg's workout machine located on the deck of the yacht.

Pink Reveals Meaning Behind Baby Willow's Name

What's in a name? Pink and husband Carey Hart welcomed daughter Willow Sage Hart into the world last month, and the singer revealed their reasoning behind her unusual name and how the new family is adjusting to their brand new baby.

"The willow is my favorite tree. I grew up near one. It's the most flexible tree in nature and nothing can break it - no wind, no elements," Pink told PEOPLE about the nature-inspired name for her little girl. "It can bend and withstand anything. I love that sentiment. I want that for her."

Her middle name also has a special meaning -- but Pink said it also just sounded cool.
"Sage is cleansing and sacred," she said. "And it sounded great together. It doesn't hurt that her last name is Hart -- flexible cleansed heart."

Though all is well with the happy family now, Willow gave her parents a hard time during her June 2 birth -- something that doesn't surprise the singer one bit.

"She was in the frank breech position, which is head up with her legs up by her head in a pike position. We tried everything to turn her around," Pink said, who ended up having to have a C-section. "Turns out this little girl had other plans -- she is my daughter, after all."

And now Pink and Hart are adjusting to life as all new parents do, but the singer said it's not as bad as some people make it seem.

"[Willow's] been amazing. Everyone gives you this terrifying picture of no sleep at all, bickering which leads to divorce ... they made it sound like waterboarding," she said of parenthood. "It's not that bad! I think I've cried more than she has and that's just because I'm emotional and a little nuts."

The singer has also been sharing tidbits of her new life as "Mommy" on Twitter.

"My life was once whiskey, tears, and cigarettes ... now it's snot, tears, and the color of poop. bliss," the singer Tweeted when Willow was just two weeks old. "I do miss the whiskey though."

"yeah!!!!!!!! up all night!!!! reliving my past... i've just replaced techno music with ocean sounds- glow sticks with night lights," she wrote on June 28, clearly up with baby Willow.

"ok, I'm spent. little girl is hungry. time for a milkshake. :) that just means i dance while she's nursing," the new mom also wrote on June 30.

Casey Anthony Gets 1 Year for Each Count

She sighed utter relief and cracked a smile earlier this week when she was deemed not guilty of killing her 2-year-old daughter, but today (July 7) Casey Anthony faced the judge to receive punishment for lying to police officers.

The mother of the late Caylee Anthony was given one year in jail for each count of lying to investigators minus time already served - which comes out to around one year left in lockup (though she could be let out of the slammer as soon as one month from now).

While lawyers argued that the multiple counts were double jeopardy - the judge dismissed the notion and ordered that all four misdemeanor convictions be served consecutively.

Along with the jail sentence, Miss Anthony was slapped with a $1,000 fine for her wrongdoings, which shouldn't be an issue seeing that literary agents and publicists have said that the 25-year-old mother could make upwards of $750,000 with a book deal resulting from the case.

Pippa Middleton: Starbucks Sexy

Looking for a caffeinated pick-me-up, Pippa Middleton was spotted hitting up a Starbucks café in London, England today (July 7).

Sporting a floral dress with black sunglasses and a black jacket, the Duchess of Cambridge’s sister did her best to ignore the paparazzi as she made her way down the street to take care of her day’s to-do list.

And given that Pippa’s posterior is the object of much envy, International Movement Consultant Ivana Daniell has offered advice on how to get a bottom like Miss Middleton’s- Pilates.

Daniell explained, “It’s a great workout routine for those who spend endless hours glued to their desks. When combined with an appropriate diet, Pilates is the best method to achieve a lean and toned body. It increases body flexibility and enhances co-ordination.”

Kim & Khloe Kardashian: Jewelry Shopping Sisters

Looking to stock up on some bling, Kim Kardashian was spotted at Pascal Mouawad Jewelry Store in Los Angeles yesterday (July 6).

Joined by her sister Khloe, the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” babe exited the boutique carrying a bag of new finds.

In career news, there is a rumor going around the gossip mill that Kim and her fiancé Kris Humphries are in talks to star in a spin-off reality show on E!.

An insider claimed, “Kim and Kris have been filming different parts of their lives, including wedding prep, but their show hinges on Kris’s contract negotiations. Currently he’s a free agent, but it all depends on what teams he ends up with and their rules for their players and outside commitments.”

“If he is given time and the okay, he and Kim will do their own show. But if his other obligations force him to not film as much, then they will just put all the stuff they’ve shot toward Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”
