Blake Lively and Penn Badgley will never break up, no matter how fat and douchey he gets. They showed up together to some charity event at Cipriani in NYC on Tuesday.

Also there: Bar Rafaeli, who’s definitely put on some weight. I’m not saying she’s fat — SHE IS NOT FAT — but she looks a lot different these days. It’s crazy how going from a size negative two to a size four can completely change the way you look.

I’m a day late on this one, but I have to do a post on Elle’s Women in Hollywood Style event, because some of the looks are pretty awesome and plus I have things to say about them. First off, Katie Holmes is clearly one of those obnoxious freaks of nature who just gets more beautiful the older she gets. If this is what Scientology’s all about, sign me up for some Xenu.

Second, I feel like it’s some sort of crime to think Kat Dennings isn’t really that pretty. But I don’t think she’s really that pretty.

But I do think Katie Cassidy’s gorgeous and I always love what she wears, even if she is David Cassidy’s daughter. Let’s not hold that against her. I don’t get the feeling he had very much to do with her upbringing.

Why doesn’t Willa Holland get more roles? I love her. Did you see her in Garden Party? Genius, genius.

Oh, look, they found a black person to come. Congrats, Zoe Saldana.

Never mind, Amber Rose was there, too. Do you think the other women were like “What the fuck is she doing here?” They probably weren’t, because she hypnotized everyone with her nipples.

More in the gallery. They’re labeled, just like you like ‘em.

For all you Twihards, here’s the one-minute clip of New Moon that hit the ‘net today.  You can download it for free on iTunes or just watch it right here.  I figured Beet would enjoy the first ten seconds since it’s a brief intro done by her future bedmate Taylor Lautner.  Personally, I don’t see the appeal, but I’ve got a thing for Stephen Colbert so … probably not a good judge.

If he hadn’t been arrested and if he wasn’t facing two decades in the slammer and a million bucks in fines, this would have been an ingenious plan.  Adam Jasinski, the 2008 Big Brother winner was arrested Saturday in North Reading, Massachusetts after trying to sell 2,000 oxycodone pills to a government witness.

Jasinski had a brilliant plan.  He took his $500,000 in Big Brother winnings and invested; he bought a shit-load of drugs to resell at a profit.  Brills!  Well, brills until the DEA got involved.

Sounds like Adam didn’t uh … expect the unexpected.

American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert granted a pretty lengthy interview to Details magazine in which he dished every detail about losing his virginity (he was 21), his drug use (he did a lot) and where he’s headed now (fame, baby).

I’ve been reading about Ram Dass — he wrote “Be Here Now” — lately.  He received real clarity about his life and its direction after using ‘shrooms and LSD.  Turns out, Adam had a similar experience with acid.  I am getting some of those hallucinogens as soon as I possibly can!

He fell into a depression sometime in 2006. “I got out of my first relationship, and I was kinda downward–spirally,” he says. “I was destructive . . . just numbing myself out.” He started partying at nightclubs like Hyde and sleeping around a bit—or as he describes it, “being a slutbag.” He was also drinking, “smoking a shit ton of weed,” and doing coke. “It was everywhere,” he says. “And I’m not gonna lie, I had some fun, but it’s never worth it the next couple of days physically.”

In 2007, he was cast in the chorus of the national tour of Wicked and finally making enough money to support himself—about $1,800 a week. “But I was burned out on the show,” he says. “Wicked was humbling; I was an understudy. I didn’t get to go on all that much.”

That summer, on a spiritual quest of sorts, he went to the Burning Man Festival in the Nevada desert. While on acid for the first time, he says, “I had a spiritual epiphany about the world and where I fit into it and what I am supposed to be doing. And my epiphany was, like, I can’t be afraid anymore. I have to take life by the balls and make shit happen.”

That epiphany is what led him to audition for American Idol upon returning from his trip.  Kinda throws that “Just Say ‘No’ to Drugs” theory out the window.
