Brighton Beach: July 2008

Whatever Happened To Singer D'Angelo?

Remember D'Angelo? He was the gorgeous naked man in the video called "Untitled" and had women all the world dying for a piece of that ass. Yeah, well, he ended up falling into a world of drugs, booze and extremely fatty foods, losing that body, not to mention that music career he had so coveted once upon a time.

And why? Because he was a real artist who couldn't deal with the fact that all his fans were only interested in seeing him naked and not interested in his music.

But worry not; D’Angelo is attempting a comeback later in 2008 as he recently signed with J Records. For now, you can enjoy him in all his naked glory pre-Cheetos.

Not sure if you've spied Britney Spears vacationing in Mexico of late, but it seems she has managed to return to her pre-Federline body, and everyone is wondering how she managed it. Well, when you gots the money, skinny comes more easily. (CelebNewsWire)

Guy Ritchie, who's noticed that he's no longer relevant, made it a point to tell the press that sugar is evil and kills more people than crack cocaine. I tend to agree, and I bet you Amy Winehouse does too. (dListed)

Rumors abound that Johnny Depp will star as The Riddler in the next Batman movie. Sounds good to me. (I'm Not Obsessed)

The Bachelor's Matt Grant & Shayne Lamas Break Up

I'm sure you're just as shocked as I am to discover that London Bachelor Matt Grant and Hollywood starlet wannabe Shayne Lamas have decided that it actually isn't going to work because they are so incredibly different. For example, he's normal... she's childish... he's well spoken... she seems like she barely made it past the 3rd grade... and so on.

So yeah, they decided that it would be best if they called the whole darn thing off. But instead of doing it in a quiet fashion, as most Bachelors have done, Shayne is telling the world that she's keeping the 2.85 carat diamond engagement ring and that Matt has no problem with it.

In fact, Matt has a massive problem with it, and he wants the damn ring back. But oh no, she is keeping it in a glass case forever and if Matt thinks she's going to give it up, he'd better think again.

So does she deserve to keep the engagement ring or should Matt get the ring back? Hopefully Judge Judy will get to settle this...

Shirtless Celeb Of The Day - Shia LaBeouf

Although he admits that he's a drunk and smokes like a madman, Shia LaBeouf is sexy in an understated, old school Hollywood kind of way. And the fact that he's hilarious and witty to boot only makes him all the more attractive. And now that he has worked his way to a six-pack (and no, not the Budweiser variety), it's easy to forgive him all his Walgreen's et al misdeeds.

Handbag Of The Day - Red Mahala Faux Leather Satchel

In all honesty, you'd have to be crazy or ridiculously rich to spend $1500 on a purse that will go out of style by season's end. It just doesn't make any sense, really. Which is why AccessoryBug.com is offering up look-alikes that will knock your socks off (hopefully you're not wearing any anyway during the summer months) and make you feel like spending more cash on your wardrobe.

Please say hello to this red faux leather, Jimmy Choo-inspired purse. While the original Jimmy Choo will run you upwards of $1595, this red little number will only dent your wallet by just over $50.

With a magnetic strap closure, silver tone hardware, interior zipper pocket, and pockets for your cell phone and sunglasses, how could you ask for anything more? Oh, and it's not real leather, which makes all the cows happy, too.

Cost: $51.99
