Jessica Simpson flashed that famous huge smile on Monday night while playing with her godson outside of LAX airport. The soon to be aunt was having a blast taking pictures of the baby while he pretended to steer the limo. Tony’s first Cowboys game of the season is on Sunday in Cleveland so hopefully Jessica will take her beaming face over to cheer for the love of her life.

GQ celebrated its men of the year at the Royal Opera House in London last night ranging from Mark Ronson to Orlando Bloom, both of whom came with their beautiful dates. Mark Ronson had his younger lady model Daisy Lowe while Orlando and Miranda continued to be one of our favorite hot couples. Elizabeth Hurley may have been of the wrong gender to win an award, but as usual she raised the sexy level in her tight little dress. Mark took home the Alfred Dunhill Maverick Award as a “gentleman of independent or non-conformist views or actions” while Steve Coogan won an award for Acting and Gordon Ramsay for being an entrepreneur.

Despite its peppy beat and catchy pop hook, Miley Cyrus’s “7 Things” was inspired by heartache. Sample lyric: “Your friends, they’re jerks/ When you act like them, just know it hurts.” And that’s just one of the seven things she “hates” about her unnamed ex.
So who’s the guy? Brett Ratner, who directed the video, revealed to MTV that prior to solidifying the video’s concept, he visited the singer’s house and was shown “all of her personal items from under her bed that her ex-boyfriend gave her.” (Among the mementos: “Dirty socks and a bunch of photographs.”)
And although he never mentioned Cyrus’s most famous ex, Nick Jonas, by name – the director does drop one major hint.
“The necklace she’s wearing in the video is the necklace [the boy] gave her,” Ratner told MTV. “She’s wearing his diabetes or medical necklace.” (Jonas – who split with Cyrus in late 2007 after two years of dating – has Type 1 diabetes and is a spokesperson for awareness of the disease.)
Back in July, Jonas insisted that the song couldn’t be about him. “My friends aren’t jerks,” he told E!’s The Daily Ten.
For her part, the 15-year-old Cyrus recently told MTV that much of her record is about past relationships. “Most of my songs are for the girls who hate their current or ex-boyfriends,” she explained.
“You can tell by the lyrics that they’re very personal,” Ratner added. “The stuff she talks about in the video is clever and emotional and fun at the same time.”

Tameka Foster is one understanding wife. Her husband, Usher, is preparing to spend 15 nights with other women – lots of other women.
The singer, 29, is planning an “intimate” concert tour that’s just for the ladies, he told the Associated Press, adding that details of his “One Night Stand” shows are still being finalized.
“This album … was definitely the type of one that was more intimate,” the entertainer says of his most recent recording, Here I Stand. “So what better way to get up close and personal than to make it all women?”
And what should female fans expect? “The ladies like to see that masculine build,” he told the AP. “They question if I still got it.”
The singer – who has a son, Usher Raymond V, with his wife – is set to perform with Keith Urban at the National Football League’s annual kickoff concert Thursday.
And you can bet there’ll be one or two guys in the audience that night.

The country star, 26, was diagnosed with the chronic autoimmune disease at age 2. By age 6 she was covered in red, scaly patches that would crack and bleed. “Not only does that take a physical toll on your body, but it takes an emotional toll,” Rimes tells PEOPLE. “I was very self-conscious.”
The struggle was made even harder as a young woman in the public eye. “It’s amazing to me how many people say, ‘Oh my God, I would never ever have known,’” says Rimes. “I was hiding it for so long.”
Symptom-free for five years thanks to medication, diet and stress management, Rimes is sharing her experience on behalf of the Stop Hiding campaign in a new PSA to raise awareness of the disease, which affects as many as seven million Americans.
She also credits her husband of nearly seven years, Dean Sheremet, with encouraging her to speak out.
Says Rimes: “He gives me the courage to do this.”

LOS ANGELES - Officials on Tuesday said they charged two Malibu men for attacking a paparazzo who was snapping pictures of actor Matthew McConaughey as he was surfing in the Pacific Ocean in June.
The attack on the photographer made headlines around the world and sparked calls by Los Angeles-area politicians for more controls over aggressive paparazzi.
Skylar Martin Peak, 24, and Philip John Hildebrand, 30, both of Malibu, were each charged with one misdemeanor count of battery for attacking Richid Altmbareckouhammou, who was working for a French news agency, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office said.
Officials claim the two men threw Altmbareckouhammou into the water from where he was taking pictures on the beach. Each faces up to six months in jail and a $2,000 fine.
The incident occurred while McConaughey was surfing near a cove in Malibu. About a dozen paparazzi were on the beach taking pictures of the actor, whose film work includes “Fool’s Gold,” “Failure to Launch,” and the upcoming “Surfer, Dude.”
The incident caused several local politicians to look for ways to curb the activities of the paparazzi. In late July, Los Angeles City Councilman Dennis Zine held a hearing to consider ideas such as licensing paparazzi and creating personal safety zones around celebrities.

James Bond is to swap vodka Martinis for a new ‘Zero Zero Seven’ brand of Coca-Cola.
The drinks giant has teamed up with the makers of the latest Bond film ‘Quantum of Solace’ to launch the special version of their Coke Zero drink - named after the agent’s code number 007.
‘Quantum of Solace’, which sees Daniel Craig reprise his role as the British spy, is released on October 31 and Coca-Cola will simultaneously launch the new ‘Zero Zero Seven’ logo and limited edition black bottles in the £5 million deal.
The company hopes the marketing strategy will make Coke Zero - which is a sugar-free version of Coca-Cola - more appealing to men.
A spokesperson for Coca-Cola said: “It’s an honour to partner Coke Zero with such an iconic franchise as Bond.”
Bobby Britton, brand director of Coca-Cola Great Britain said: “The new edgier Bond persona is the ultimate embodiment of the Coke Zero brand personality and expected to make the brand more popular with its target audience of 20-something men.”
The limited edition ‘Zero Zero Seven’ Coke will sell for £1.50 at upmarket department store Harrods in London, as well as being available at other outlets across the UK.

Penelope Cruz drove director Woody Allen “crazy” on the set of ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ by demanding to do another take of her scenes.
The actress - who stars alongside Scarlett Johansson and real-life partner Javier Bardem in the new movie - admits she is such a perfectionist that she always wants to shoot scenes several times to ensure she gives her best performance.
She said: “Every single time I asked to do it again! I drove Woody crazy with that. The last day I think he ran out of patience because he was so sweet and so kind.
“He always said yes to one more take, but on the last take of the last day I really could not stop because it was a difficult scene. So, I said, ‘Please one more!’ So we did one more and then we said, ‘OK, cut!’ Then I was looking for Woody and he was hiding from me!”
Penelope also revealed Woody allowed her and Javier, who are both Spanish-speaking actors, to improvise in their native tongue during filming.
She added: “He was trusting us, you know? He was trusting all the actors to improvise sometimes in English, sometimes in Spanish. He told us to do whatever we felt was natural, so I did a lot of swearing - sometimes too much - and I was a little bit worried about what he was going to think when he discovers some of the things that were said when it was translated!
“But I think he was happy in the end!”
