Paris
Questions remain concerning the spectacle of Jessica Biel bolting towards the nearest exit three minutes into Stella McCartney's fashion show at the Palais de Chaillot during Paris Fashion Week.
Minutes before the 24 year-old actress made a stellar entrance escorted to the center of the front row and graciously posing for photographers in a seductive mini skirt. But just after the lights dimmed and show started she suddenly left.
The McCartney people said she was suffering from jetlag while the New York Post reported she was hung over from a night of boozing it at a party hosted by fashion photographer Mario Testino.

Kate Moss and Pete Doherty are going to make their North American debut together in American Vogue's April issue.
Editor and Chief Anna Wintour flew to London to personally oversee a photo shoot at a London night club by fashion photographer Mario Testino. This will be North America’s first close-up look at the controversial couple.
They were recently booted out of the NME awards when Pete was spotted in a washroom with a spoon that he stole from a diner table because security thought he was on his way to shoot up.

New York
Baby Phat designer Kimora Lee Simmons is said to be dating Blood Diamond star Djimon Hounsou. The pair are thought to have hooked up some time back but recently started to appear together in public.
They were seen making out at a post Oscar party for best actor winner Forest Whitaker at Hollywood's Boulevard3. 42 year-old Hounsou will be the new Calvin Klein Underwear model starting with the Fall 2007 campaign.
Although Kimora separated last year from her husband, Phat Farm founder Russel Simmons, the two still share the same New Jersey mansion and are often seen together. Little seems to have changed in their lives other than they date other people from time to time.
Los Angeles
Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson may have walked away with the award for best supporting actress but unfortunately she also topped everybody’s list for the worst dressed on her big night.
She wore a ridiculous Oscar de la Renta brown dress that was extremely unflattering to her full figure and gaudy gold jewellery.
Kinder fashion writers described her as looking like an alien while the less thoughtful as a wreck.
Her red carpet fiasco is being blamed on Vogue’s Editor at Large, Andre Leon Talley, who was her self appointed consultant.
Hudson wanted to wear a custom made Roberto Cavalli gown.Talley who put the Dreamgirl on the cover of Vogue insisted that she was indebted to him and called in the favour.
Hudson’s stylist was reported as saying that, moments before she left for the awards show there was a loud power struggle and Jennifer ended up changing into Talley’s outfit out of frustration.

A new study published by researchers at Harvard found that binge eating is by far the most common eating disorder. It effects 2.8% of the American population while anorexia only effects .05% and bulimia 0.01%.
Although anorexia is generally thought off as the most frequent eating disorder and often grabs the headlines overeating is a considerably larger health issue which goes unnoticed much of the time.
Most people who go on a food spree are likely to conceal the behaviour.
People obsessed with clandestine eating tend to eat guilty pleasure type foods that are usually extremely unhealthy and also suffer from health problems associated with being overweight. The same underlying psychological issues are often at the core of binge eating as anorexia.
Los Angeles
Some of the world’s hottest supermodels may have been exposed the hepatitis A virus at a party celebrating the Sports Illustrated 2007 Swimsuit issue at a West Hollywood Party.
Among the guests were Beyonce Knowles, Leonardo DiCaprio's sometime girlfriend Bar Rafaeli and Russian model Anne Vyalitsyna. The party was one of 13 catered events where people may have been endangered by an infected cook working for Wolfgang Puck Catering.
Exposure to the virus can cause fever, diarrhoea, jaundice and result in permanent liver damage. Although the risk at the party was considered low guests were advised to receive a preventative shot.
