Attention Boston bachelors: Jessica Simpson is out to find love, and she's looking in your direction.The Texas-born singer-actress, who ended her relationship with John Mayer in early summer, says the Yankee boys of Beantown have a few of the rebel traits she's looking for."I think Boston has cute boys," Simpson, 27, tells Extra. "I need a Boston man. A Boston man is closest to a Southern man, I believe."Specifically, she says, it's "just their loyalty" that reminds her of Southern gentlemen.New Album to Reveal Her Heartbreak.
Simpson has not discussed her breakup with Mayer – though she did tell PEOPLE recently, "I've had my heart broken since my divorce" from Nick Lachey, which became final in 2005.She also said she would reveal some personal tidbits on her next album, saying, "I can't wait to share my heart with the world. The fun, the good, the bad, the happy, the sad. You know, I'm comfortable letting people in now. I'm in a really good place."As for Major Movie Star, an Army comedy she just finished shooting after she first endured the real-life rigors of boot camp, she said, "I really found out a lot about myself and gained a lot of confidence.

Christina Aguilera has no regrets about her raunchy music video for hit single 'Dirrty' - because it made her feel "empowered".The singer, who stripped down to a pair of leather chaps for the promo, insists she enjoyed expressing her inner self in the controversial video - and reveled in the controversy that accompanied its release.She tells 'Glamour' magazine: "I definitely stirred the pot a bit but I had fun."If it's under the mark of respectability then it's prudish, if it's over the mark, it's slutty. That's really unfair, so I'm happy I've been able to express myself and be on both sides. People have loved it, hated it, been undecided, and been empowered by it."Now-pregnant Aguilera has not ruled out donning the chaps at a later date.She adds: "I was 21 and possibly when I'm 60, if I can still fit into them - at the end of the day, I can say I had a frickin' blast."
Disney had to make a difficult decision recently - to invite Vanessa Hudgens back for High School Musical 3 despite her nude scandal, or to replace her with someone less likely to whip their vagina out and show it to everyone all the time.But, surprisingly, it looks as if Disney has chosen the former. Reports are rife that Vanessa Hudgens is not only going to sign on to reprise her role in High School Musical 3 this week, but she's also negotiated herself a giant payrise in the process. Although Vanessa Hudgens' payrise has shocked everyone who thought that her days as a family-friendly pop gonk were over, there's probably a perfectly good explanation for it - like the millions and millions of extra dollars that High School Musical 3 will make thanks to the army of new adult male Vanessa Hudgens fans who'll watch it again and again trying to work out if they can see the beginnings of a cameltoe emerging during the movie's tender opening number.High School Musical has become a phenomenon by its relentlessly-pushed message that everyone is special and has their own gift. That's certainly true about Vanessa Hudgens, who is special because she's one of the few 18-year-old Disney stars prepared to take naked and borderline-lesbian photos of herself and paste them all over the internet for everyone to see.But, even though this gift has made Vanessa Hudgens one of the most well-known vaginas in the entertainment industry, it looked like the fame was coming at a cost. Vanessa Hudgens, you see, was the female lead in High School Musical and High School Musical 2 - Disney's almost-nauseatingly earnest Grease rip-off cable movies. And, as you may have guessed, the sight of Vanessa Hudgens singing a song called You Are The Music In Me and the sight of Vanessa Hudgens trying to cop off with a schoolgirl with tongues didn't sit so well together.However, despite rumours that Vanessa Hudgens was going to get the shove from High School Musical 3 - where the plot presumably involves all of them having to keep repeating years despite clearly being above high school age, possibly because they're all a bunch of honking dimwits - over the naked photo furore, it looks like Vanessa Hudgens might get the last laugh after all.It's claimed that Vanessa Hudgens is on the verge of signing up for High School Musical 3 and getting a big fat payrise for doing so. While the official Disney and Vanessa Hudgens line is that nothing has been signed and negotiations are still in process, a High School Musical source told Us Weekly: “Vanessa is locked for the movie. She is very happy that the deal is done.”Obviously, while Vanessa Hudgens has built up a following amongst sickening bright-eyed innocent children by starring in the first two High School Musical movies, it's hard not to think that her naked photo sideline will bring in the punters to the third movie like never before, something Disney is hoping to expand on by forcing Vanessa Hudgens to wear nipple tassels throughout and singing a provocative burlesque song called Do Me In My Minge Now instead of the scheduled Never Forget (We're All Stars And God Loves Us Equally).
Hollywood sex symbol Jessica Alba will "never" go nude for a film - because her Catholic roots prevent her.Alba believes it is important to abide by her strict religious beliefs - even if it means losing out on blockbuster film roles.The 26-year-old says: "I will never do a nude scene in a movie - not ever. I can act sexy and I can wear sexy clothes but I can't go naked. I think I was always very uncomfortable about the way my body developed."I come from a Catholic family and it wasn't seen as good to flaunt yourself. I can handle being sexy with clothes on but not with them off."
She tears down 'One Night In Paris' posters...Employees of a Toronto adult video store claim that Paris Hilton burst into their shop dressed as a skeleton and demanded the removal of posters advertising her One Night In Paris sex tape from the walls.According to the store manager, the socialite – who is in the Canadian city shooting new movie Repo: The Genetic Opera - threw a fit while disguised in a skeleton costume and mask and started tearing down the offending posters herself.Paris allegedly says: "You guys can't use my image in a porn store. I'm going to call my lawyer and sue the (expletive) out of this place.""I really want them down because they're mean and this is not right. I'm really serious, this is disgusting.""And I want the other ones too or I'm calling the (expletive) cops."Store owners say that about 30 minutes after the woman left the store, a man identifying himself as Paris's manager came in and told them to keep the incident quiet.The warning evidently didn't work - CCTV footage of the bizarre tantrum is currently on sale to the highest bidder, with offers said to be as high as $50K.
