When sharing a red carpet with a 16ft robot, Megan Fox knew she’d have to go the extra mile to get attention.

The actress guaranteed she made a maximum impact at the world premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in Tokyo with a striking figure-hugging purple gown.

Taking a style tip from seasoned red carpet veteran Liz Hurley, Megan showed off her fabulous legs in a slashed-to-the-thigh satin Donna Karan gown.

The 23-year-old beauty joined co-stars Shia LaBeouf, Isabel Lucas, Josh Duhamel, Ramon Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson at the Toho cinema in Roppongi Hills for the first screening of the sequel to the 2007 blockbuster.

Hundred of Japanese fans queued for hours to see their idols, while only a lucky few managed to see the eagerly-anticipated film.

The new movie sees Shia and Megan reprises their roles as teenage couple Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes, who team up with their Autobot robot friends to stop the Decepticons from destroying the planet.

Speaking on the red carpet, Megan thanked director Michael Bay for giving her a role in the original film, which launched her Hollywood career.

She said: ‘It’s mind-blowing. I think it has opened a lot of doors for me career-wise, but there is a certain loss of anonymity, like leaving your house and having people take your picture all the time. That is a different kind of life.’

Also on at premiere was the Sam’s robot pal Bumblebee, who transforms into the student’s Chevrolet Camaro.

Also in the house for the big event was Megan’s costar Josh Duhamel who looked handsome in a sweater/shirt/tie combo, as well as Shia LaBeouf and Isabel Lucas.

“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” hits theaters in the Land of the Rising Sun on June 19th.  We get to see it here in the States on June 24th.

Audrina Patridge Plays a PETA Angel

Audrina Patridge an angel? Hills fans might think it’s a bit of a stretch, but the reality TV star is donning her wings – and a sexy white bikini! – in a new campaign for PETA, revealed first on PEOPLE.

On a billboard set to be unveiled Wednesday on L.A.’s Beverly Boulevard, Patridge poses in the sexy angel outfit with her rescued dog, Speedy Gonzalez, next to the line, “Be an Angel for Animals-Always Adopt, Never Buy.”

When exactly did PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) become the go-to group for well-done soft-core porn? They even get into the kinky stuff with vegetables and animals.

It got us thinking, if Audrina’s such a good rescue-dog angel lady, why isn’t she swooping in there to save that poor pooch? No dog should have to endure such humiliation.

Even its face looks pretty fed up with this nonsense. But sometimes, you just have to sit and pose between Paris’ legs, help her sell some clothes, so maybe she’ll finally get that flat-screen TV for the doggie mansion.

In a statement released by PETA, Patridge says, “Each year, 6 to 8 million unwanted dogs and cats are turned in to shelters, and half are killed because there aren’t enough good homes. The solution is as easy as ABC – animal birth control. Always spay and neuter, and never buy from a pet store or a breeder.”

Audrina Partridge Strips For Peta

At 48, Valerie Bertinelli drops more than 40 lbs.

The night before Valerie Bertinelli prepared to step out in public wearing a bikini — for the first time in nearly 30 years! — she found herself unable to sleep. As her mind raced with insecurity (”I thought, Am I really going to do this? Can I pull this off?” the actress admits), Valerie Bertinelli tried to summon up a pep talk, telling herself, “What am I so afraid of? Come on — it’s just a bathing suit!”

And yet as any woman knows, those innocent-looking strips of Lycra can be a terrifying sight — especially for someone just shy of her 49th birthday (April 23), who only two years ago tipped the scales at 172 lbs. — more than 40 lbs. over her goal weight for her 5′4″ frame. But after whittling herself down to 132 lbs. in about 9 months on Jenny Craig, Valerie Bertinelli, who had last worn a bikini when she was 20, was ready for a new challenge.

Valerie Bertinelli Shows of Hot Bikini Bod on the Cover of ‘People’

Valerie Bertinelli is on the cover of People magazine. Sure, she’s been there before, but most recently it has been in association with her battle with her weight problem. But not this time around. Valerie Bertinelli is in bikini – and, no, it’s not one of those “guess who this is?” or a gross-out nearly naked picture, either.

At 48 years old and after losing 40 pounds adhering to the Jenny Craig weight-loss method, Valerie Bertinelli is looking hot, more hot, hotter than she has ever looked. Boldly standing with her hand on her hip in a two-piece spring green bikini, Valerie Bertinelli graces the cover of People with a confident smile.

And she should feel confident. She has had her problems with controlling her weight, especially after her break-up and divorce with rocker Eddie Van Halen. She has been a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, the weight loss regimen organization, for the past few years, maintaining a blog and keeping the world apprised with the her daily routines. She even mentions Jenny Craig in her autobiography, Losing It—And Gaining My Life Back One Pound At A Time.

But whether it was Jenny Craig’s weight loss program or Valerie Bertinelli’s perseverance, or a combination of the two, the “One Day At A Time” actress has certainly slimmed down.

A BURGLAR broke into PARIS HILTON’s new home and stole £1.3million of jewellery from her bedroom, SUN reports

Paris, 27, was out with singer pal CHRISTINA AGUILERA, when the thief forced open the front door of the £4million Hollywood mansion.

LAPD spokesman Ben Llewellyn said: “A security guard

is the one that called in and reported that the residence was broken into.

“Our detectives learned that a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt and gloves forced entry through the front door.

“The man ransacked the bedroom.”

Having viewed her home surveillance tapes, Paris Hilton doesn’t think a stranger is responsible for burglarizing her Sherman Oaks, Calif., abode.

“I think whoever did this, definitely has been there before,” the ripped-off heiress told E! News Monday while perusing the racks at the L.A. boutique Intuition. “We have some suspects that I’m thinking of.”

Nearly $2 million worth of jewelry and personal items were stolen from Hilton’s recently purchased mansion early Friday morning, while the newly single socialite hung out at Hollywood hotspot Bar Deluxe.

Police said that a man in a hooded sweatshirt and gloves forced his way through the front door and ultimately focused on Hilton’s bedroom for his ill-gotten gains.

The items taken included “jewelry, watches, every ring I own,” Hilton said. “All my necklaces, jewelry that my grandmothers gave me that I’ll never be able to replace.

“You know, it’s just an invasion of privacy and it’s happened to me before. It’s really scary but they’re doing a huge investigation on this and we’re going to catch this person.”

The reality-TV star said that, initially, she was afraid to be in the house after the break-in, but she has since “upped the security majorly.”

“Obviously it’s devastating and disturbing that someone was in my home,” Hilton said. But “we have three security guards there and a 24-hour guard who is always on my property,” Hilton said. “We have the alarm on, the dogs we have, the guards with the gun, so, no one is going to be coming into my house.”

Hilton also has a message for the person or persons responsible for shattering her sense of security:

“I would tell them to please return my things, because I know that they’re probably watching E! News right now, to return everything and that’s it,” she told us.

“They just have to anonymously have a taxi drop it off in my front gate in a box with my jewelry and everything they won’t get in trouble, but if all this goes on for much longer they’re going to get in more trouble.”

Celebrity scandal author and Scientology-infiltrator Ian Halperin is either on to the story of a lifetime or trying to shoot the moon, libel wise.

Halperin just wrote a biography of the singer. He tells In Touch that Jackson suffers from rare lung condition, “Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency,” emphysema and gastrointenstinal bleeding. Also,

Halperin… claims that the “Thriller” and “Bad” singer can barely speak and is 95-percent blind in his left eye… Earlier this year, Jackson was photographed in a wheelchair. A few weeks ago, he was spotted receiving help walking, while wearing a Zorro style mask.

Jackson’s been rumored frantically borrowing money to avoid growing broke, even promising an album to a sheik in Bahrain. An ability to speak or sing would obviously compound those woes — or maybe Jackson hopes the rumors might provide some relief from them.

Jacko Not Sick, Except In Head

Michael Jackson is not suffering from any life threatening diseases. Everyone can relax. Reports of his ailing health have been extremely exaggerated.

Reports over the weekend that Jackson has some newly revealed sickness requiring a lung transplant are totally hokum, I can assure you.

Yesterday I spoke to one of Jackson’s regular insiders who reported that the kooky former King of Pop is just fine, playing with his kids, and living large in a house he can’t afford in Beverly Hills.

On top of that, it was just a few days ago that this columnist spoke with Darren Julien, the man arranging the big Jackson memorabilia auction in Los Angeles next April. Our conversation occurred just before the “news” of Jackson’s illness broke. Julien told me that his dealings with Jackson and Jackson’s manager, the enigmatic Dr. Tohme Tohme, and they were proceeding without incident. Jackson wasn’t ill, and, Julien said, “seemed really organized” about the sale.

Over the years, Jackson illnesses have been identified as vitiligo, Lupus, addiction to prescription pain killers, and laziness. He’s also a publicity hound who thinks that news of illness will make him sympathetic to the public. He learned this from Elizabeth Taylor, his one-time best friend.

More importantly, Jackson remains in financial peril thanks to his recent settlement of a $7 million lawsuit with Prince Adbulla of Bahrain. Additionally, Jackson just refinanced his Neverland ranch with Colony Capital LLC and Thomas Barrack because of his never ending need for cash. Apparently, he’s used the money to squander it on a new expensive home rental rather than just return to Neverland or live in his parent’s home in Encino, California, where he holds the mortgage.

But dying or in need of emergency surgery? Not Michael Jackson. It was just recently that he ventured outside his house wearing a Zorro mask to get attention. An easier way might be just to make an album or perform a concert.

Khloe Kardashian Shows Some Booty in PETA ‘Get Naked’ Campaign

When it comes to naked Kardashians, most men tend to immediately think of Kim, but it seems the youngest sister, Khloe , wants to be known for her sex appeal too.

The 24-year-old is the latest starlet to “Get Naked” for a PETA campaign in an effort to raise awareness about cruelty to animals.

With her proud family standing by, Ms. Kardashian unveiled her billboard “Fur? I’d Rather Go Naked” in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Then she let this bomb drop.

“Everyone in the family wears fur except me,” she told the gathered crowd.

Um, maybe PETA should have written her speech? Or at least looked at it?

‘Hills’ Star Upset About Being Jen Aniston’s Neighbor

Most people would be pretty pumped to be Jennifer Aniston’s neighbor, but for “The Hills” star Frankie Delgado, living on the same Hollywood Hills street as the “Marley & Me” starlet is more trouble than it is titillating.

“To get to my house every day I literally have to sit in so much traffic, it totally sucks to get to my own home,” Delgado told Tarts while promoting his new MTV reality series “Bromance” alongside star Brody Jenner and Sleazy T. “They (the paparazzi) are creeping outside my house all the time. I know they’re there for Jen not me, but I just don’t feel comfortable.”

But sneaky snappers aside, what’s it really like to be Aniston’s neighbor?

“She comes over and asks for sugar and stuff so I give her some sugar love,” Delgado responded with a smile. Right, keep dreaming.

Speaking of the paps, Brody gets great satisfaction from messing with their minds.

“We come up with different ways we can f—with these guys. They think we’re being serious when we do dumb things but we go online and laugh,” the “Bromance” star said. “The paparazzi have made Hollywood into a place that’s so negative and most celebs are afraid to go out because everything is oversaturated with gossip.”

Jenner’s upcoming show takes a group of regular guys from around the country and brings them to Hollywood to have a “Bromance” with Brody as he searches for a best friend. But unlike “The Hills” girls, Jenner is looking for a “real” friendship.

“I look for honesty, loyalty, someone I can cry around if need be. You’ll see a lot more of the real me – I’m crazy, but that’s who I am,” he added. “It’s not me caring about whatever the f—Lauren and Audrina are arguing about. I do care about Lauren and her well-being, but Audrina …”

Delgado couldn’t help but have a dig at “The Hills” catty characters too.

“What we (Frankie, Brody & Sleazy) have is a real friendship. We don’t fight, I don’t go off to Lo or whatever and whisper about so and so. We know when we’re wrong and we call each other out and get over it,” he added.
