Get your low down on what's happening in the world of Hollywood, right here!

Kelly Brook has bared all for new Paris-based magazine Exhibition.

 

 The 31-year-old posed naked with her breasts and body smeared in red lipstick for a set of shocking full-frontal photos.

 

The 21 images -- shot by snapper Ben Hasset -- are said to be "feminist, industrial, and political".

 

Wild-haired Brook starts off cavorting naked against a white background. By the final frame, she and the backdrop are covered in the scarlet make-up.

 

'This first issue is devoted entirely to lipstick shown as it is, but also in a feminist, industrial, and political sense,' the Sun quoted its publicity blurb as saying.

Rihanna sued over S&M video

Rihanna has reportedly been sued by prominent US fashion photographer David LaChapelle over her video for new single 'S&M'.

 

LaChapelle, who has shot celebrities for magazines such as Rolling Stone, GQ and Vanity Fair, said "the music video is directly derived from and substantially similar to the LaChapelle works," reports the Daily Mail.

 

Rihanna has sold over 25 million albums worldwide and dominated music charts in the US with singles such as 'Umbrella' and 'What''s my name'.

 

The single 'S&M', however, has fizzled on the charts, and the video has been banned in some countries for its sexual content.

 

In the suit, the photographer said the singer had appropriated eight of his images into the video, such as a shot where she is shown in profile against a blue background with a piece of candy on her tongue.

 

LaChapelle said her video copied the "composition, total concept, feel, tone, mood, theme, colours, props, settings, decors, wardrobe and lighting" of his work.

 

 He is suing for unspecified damages.

Angry fans in Dubai recently booed Amy Winehouse over her lacklustre performance.

 

The troubled singer, who has a history of shambolic shows, was flown over to the United Arab Emirates to play a concert, but left revelers disappointed after she struggled to sing her hit 'Rehab', reports Contact Music.

 

In a video obtained by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, the Brit slurs the song's words and sounds out of tune as she sings.

 

The crowd then turned on Winehouse, booing her and shouting from the audience as she walks around the stage talking to her band.

Lady Gaga channels Madonna!

Lady Gaga at the 2011 Grammy Awards

'Poker Face' singer Lady Gaga was seen looking like a replica of Madonna from the 1990s with her sculpted bustier and high blond ponytail while at the 2011 Grammy Awards.

 

Gaga, 24, took to the stage to collect her statuette for Best Pop Vocal Album for 'The Fame Monster' in a black leather bustier with a sculpted breastplate, and she also wore her hair in a long, blonde ponytail, the New York Daily News reported.

 

In 1990, Madonna introduced the Jean Paul Gaultier's cone bra and leotard, in both gold and black, on her smash Blonde Ambition tour.  She also wore the now-iconic lingerie in her music videos for 'Vogue'.

 

But it seems Gaga's dressing sense is not the only thing being compared, as critics have noted that the hotly anticipated single from her new album 'Born This Way' sounds a lot like Madonna's 1989 smash dance hit 'Express Yourself'.
