Who’s that towhead? Why, it’s Jessica Alba! She’s lightened her locks for her role in “Valentine’s Day,” which she’s currently shooting with the Kutch. [Los Angeles, 9/1/09]

Oh, Lindsay. Evidently, “Hangover” director Todd Phillips offered her the part of Jade, the stripper, after Lohan’s agent worked hard to get her considered. But she didn’t like the script and turned it down. So Heather Graham ended up playing the part. And, of course, the movie went on to become one of the hottest flicks of the summer. This is pretty ironic, because LiLo has stripped on screen before—in the flick “I Know Who Killed Me,” a 2007 movie that most people have never even heard of.

To rub it in Lohan’s face a little bit more, here’s a video slideshow of some of Hollywood’s biggest starlets playing strippers. [NY Post]

Happy birthday, Jess! The former “Dark Angel” celebrated her 28th last weekend with an ‘80s party, dancing to Prince and Jacko as guests like Sarah Silverman and Rosario Dawson chowed down on fajitas and mojitos. The hit activity of the night? Connect Four. If life were a teen movie, there would’ve been a dance-off with the winner cruising away on Cash Warren‘s moped.

Jessica should have something to smile about with this little bugger sitting on her lap. [Los Angeles, 01/04/09]

Raphael Saadiq The Way I See It This soul brother’s tracks will make you swear his retro-record was recorded back in the day. The latest from a former member of 80’s R&B group Tony! Toni! Toné!, Saadiq’s put-you-in-the-mood grooves makes this one of the sexiest solo albums of the year.

Not like we haven’t already seen Lindsay Lohan’s whole kit and kaboodle thanks to the paparazzi, bottle service, her refusal to wear panties, and that little Marilyn Monroe-inspired shoot for New York. But Playboy just offered the hottest lesbian in Hollywood $700,000 to pose nude for their magazine. Surprisingly enough, Lohan said “NO!” It’s amazing how love can change a girl. I can’t tell if this decision was brilliant or a bomb, but here’s how other stars have fared after telling Hugh Hefner to bug off, plus fifteen stars who’ve said “Yes” to Hef and have seen their stars sky rocket—and tank.

Julie Newmar, the actress who originated the role of Catwoman in the Batman TV series recently said Angelina Jolie would own the part. “She’s tremendously popular with women because she’s both a heroine and a villainess,” Julie said. “When you look at the staggering box office of this current film, which actress wouldn’t want to jump in?” Now, the Dark Knight writers don’t have any plans to bring back the character in the current franchise, but when Catwoman is resurrected, these actresses will certainly get into cat fights (har) with each other over who gets cast. Tell us who you think should shimmy into the leather catsuit…
