Lada Gaga was surprisingly normal!

Before the days of outrageous hairdos and avant-garde ensembles, Grammy-nominated Lady Gaga — aka Stefani Germanotta — was just an Italian Catholic schoolgirl from New York. “I was a bit insecure in high school,” the 23-year-old star reveals.

“I used to get made fun of for being either too provocative or too eccentric, so I started to tone it down. I didn’t fit in, and I felt like a freak.”

But once she started college at New York University, she says she began showing her true colors.

“I really let the real me out,” the pop sensation reveals. And clearly the “Poker Face” and “Bad Romance” performer hasn’t suppressed herself since.

“I’m an outspoken and extreme dresser,” she admits. “I am inspired by photography and art, but mostly by New York.”

She defends her quirkiness and explains she does it all for her fans, who can relate to feeling like an outsider. “This is really who I am, and it took a long time to be okay with that,” she says.

ELIN THREATENS TO TAKE THE KIDS

Category : Celebrity Chat, Featured

image002-3At the center of what’s quickly shaping up to be a bitter split between golf legend Tiger Woods and his humiliated wife, Elin, are the couple’s two innocent young children — daughter Sam, 2, and son Charlie, 10 months. As someone who’s lived through a similar nightmare, Ivana Trump says Tiger and Elin should be grateful their children are too young to comprehend the extent of their father’s cheating — or a potential battle over their custody. “Thank heavens they’re too young to really understand what’s happening,” Ivana tells Life & Style. “They can’t read, and they won’t be watching the TV coverage.”

“Tiger knows Elin is planning to divorce him,” an insider in the golfer’s camp tells Life & Style. “He’s trying to come to terms with it.” And when Elin leaves, she appears determined to take the kids with her. Elin has decided to seek full custody and bring up the children without their father’s involvement, new reports say. Several other reports have suggested that once her split from Tiger becomes official, Elin may want to take the kids home to her native Sweden, perhaps as early as this holiday season. And if that’s what she wants, it’s likely she’ll be able to. “What normally happens is that the judge rules that [the mother] can go wherever she likes as long as it doesn’t cut the father out of the children’s life and make visitation difficult for him,” celebrity divorce lawyer Raoul Felder tells Life & Style.

Still, the next several months could get rocky for them since Tiger’s not about to let his kids go without a fight. Quietly, the golf star “has been exploring his legal options about keeping his children in the state of Florida,” the insider says of Tiger’s intent to fight for the children.

INSIDE JILLIAN BARBERIE’S BABY SHOWER!

Category : Expecting Celebrities, Featured

image002-2Dressed in a nonmaternity Marchesa gown, Good Day LA host Jillian Barberie Reynolds celebrated the upcoming birth of her son, Rocco Reynolds, with a lavish baby shower at the Montage Beverly Hills on Dec. 12. “It’s been completely different this time around,” Jillian, who has a 2-year-old daughter, Ruby, with husband Grant, tells Life & Style. “I was a huge whale, but now I’m just a dolphin. I’m not as rotund!”

Guests including Sharon Osbourne and Kourtney Kardashian (who gave birth just two days later!) noshed on tea sandwiches and scones and sipped signature cocktails like the Jilliantini and Rocco Royal. The room was decked out with beautiful white roses, tulips, hydrangeas and freesias by floral design studio Mark’s Garden. After lunch, the group indulged in a vanilla butter-cream custom cake by Cake Divas by Joan & Leigh — Jillian’s favorite! Guests left with a LeSportsac silver tote filled with gifts valued at about $500.

“We’re probably done after this,” says Jillian, “although we thought we’d probably be done after Ruby and, boom, I got pregnant with Rocco. So who knows.”

MORE KIDS FOR BRAD AND ANGELINA

Category : Celebrity Chat, Headline

FInal Cover A1.inddBrad Pitt and Angelina Jolie aren’t big on PDAs. So when Angie playfully grabbed at Brad’s tux jacket, gazed at him lovingly and ran her fingers through his hair — all while he planted soft kisses on her head — everyone at the star-studded UNICEF ball knew something was up. In fact, what onlookers were witnessing on Dec. 10 in LA was the happiness of a couple trying for baby No. 7.

“Angelina decided about four months ago that she really wanted to try to get pregnant again,” an insider reveals to Life & Style. “She basically told Brad that if it happens, it happens and that she wasn’t going to concern herself with birth control. Angie’s most at peace when a baby is coming.”

Just two months ago, Angie freely admitted to the British magazine Stylist her desire to expand the diverse Jolie-Pitt clan. “I can see further additions to the family — both adopted and our own,” she said. And like Angie, Brad’s publicly expressed his eagerness to add more kids to their bountiful brood. “I am in love, and I have the most beautiful family — what else can a guy want,” he says. “We’re so lucky to have… children from around the world. They’re all fantastic, and we would love another.”

ALI LANDRY: IT TOOK ME TWO YEARS TO TAKE OFF THE BABY WEIGHT

Category : Celebrity Chat, Headline

ali_landryAli Landry got her big break as the famously flexible Doritos Girl in 1998. But after she and her husband, welcomed their daughter, Estela, on July 11, 2007, Ali wasn’t feeling so athletic. “I was nursing, I was tired,” she told Life & Style during an exclusive interview on Nov. 18. “I had no desire to go to the gym. For the first two years of her life, Estela was my focus. I didn’t care so much about being in perfect shape.”

So while breast-feeding helped Ali drop 25 of her 35 pregnancy pounds, the Eve actress settled into life with a little more meat on her bones. “I was already back in my regular clothes, but I definitely wasn’t in shape,” says Ali. Her wake-up call came this past summer, when ABC asked her to participate in The Superstars, the network’s sports challenge. “It really lit a fire under me.”

Ali sought the help of Helene Guzman and the trainer’s mom-friendly routines: two one-hour workouts a week. “I do interval training,” Guzman explains to Life & Style. By sticking to Guzman’s mix of stretching, cardio and calisthenics (as well as healthy food from the delivery service Chef’s Diet), Ali soon lost the last 10 pounds of baby weight. Even better? She shed an additional 5, putting her at a toned 134 pounds after two months.

Sandra Bullock’s Nightmare Custody Battle

Category : Celebrity Chat, Featured

SUNNY’S BIOLOGICAL MOTHER SPEAKS: CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?

image002-3In the midst of a custody battle against Sandra Bullock and Jesse James, Janine Lindemulder sat down with Life & Style on Dec. 4 to set the record straight about her controversial occupation, co-parenting with Sandra Bullock and Jesse James, and why she wants 5-year-old daughter, Sunny, back.

L&S: Why continue starring in adult movies?
Janine: I like my job. I’m good at it. I’ve been a porn star for 23 years. It’s what I did right out of high school. If I won the lottery, would I do it? No. I don’t see myself in this for very much longer.

L&S: Do you make enough to support Sunny?
Janine: At this moment, no. That’s why I’m not going into the courtroom saying I want her completely now. But I do have 50 percent legal custody.

L&S: Does Jesse help?
Janine: I’m not getting any money from Jesse. What would make him happy is if I just vanished off the planet. I’m in fear of what Jesse’s capable of doing. [I suspect that] he had a hacker erase 30 e-mails from when Sunny was born. The e-mails said, “I don’t want Sunny to have my last name. Find her a new daddy.” After he showed no interest in the first six months, I moved to Oregon. He said, “Good, the farther, the better.” He wanted nothing to do with Sunny for three years of her life.

L&S: Has Sandra reached out to you at all?
Janine: We haven’t even had a conversation. They couldn’t care less what I have to say. They changed Sunny’s school a while ago and didn’t tell me. I found out from Sunny.

L&S: So what’s next?
Janine: I want them to be in the picture. Let’s all get along and put our own issues aside. We’ve got another 13 years that we’ve got to deal with each other.
