Look who’s already rocking the red carpet!
From her ankle boots to her chic scarf, Simone Masterson-Horn is quickly becoming quite the fashionista.
It’s no surprise considering her aunt (and godmother!) is trendsetter Tori Spelling and her dads are the actress’s best friends (and Home Sweet Hollywood costars) Bill Horn and Scout Masterson, a.k.a The Guncles.
But we’re not the only ones to notice this mini style star! Kiddie fashion blogger Natalia Caver also has Simone on her radar and has even created a site dedicated to the 19-month-old’s adorable ensembles.
“[Simone] is a little princess, funny with a great personality, and a lovely wardrobe,” Caver tells PEOPLE.
“One day you see her with fancy dresses like Suri Cruise and [the next day] with fur boots, a scarf, and a beret like her cousin Stella McDermott.”
Known to step out in brands ranging from Target to Zara, proud dad Horn jokes his little girl knows what she wants — and isn’t afraid to voice her opinion! — when it comes to her sense of style.
“Simone is starting to point to things she wants to wear and often lets us know if she isn’t in the mood to wear something we’re about to put on her. We’ve created a clothing monster!” he says.

Bree’Anna Guzman’s Dead Body Reportedly Found by Side of Freeway in Silver Lake — on One-Month Anniversary of Her Disappearance
 |
| The search for Bree’Anna Guzman has come to a tragic end. |
The dead body that police pulled from bushes alongside the Glendale Freeway yesterday morning has been identified by femily members as 22-year-old Bree’Anna Guzman.
The L.A. County Coroner’s Office told the Weekly last night that the body could not yet be identified, and was still being called a “Jane Doe.” However, Guzman’s mom, who visited the crime scene, tells NBC4 that the body belonged to her daughter.
Guzman, a young mother of two, went missing exactly one month ago. She left her Lincoln Heights home to go fetch some cough syrup at the corner store…
… and never came back.
Family, friends and neighbors have been collaging the neighborhood with “Have you seen me?” flyers ever since. Eerily, a candlelight vigil was planned for yesterday evening, to mark the one-month anniversary of Guzman’s disappearance.
Darlene Guxman Doran (the missing woman’s mother) posted this notice to the “Praying for Bree’anna Guzman” Facebook page yesterday morning, right about the time the body was being discovered:
“… today marks one month since Bree’Anna’s mysterious disappearance. Please join together tonight between 6 and 6:30 PM at her home 2300 blk of Humboldt 90031, as we gather for a candle light prayer vigil. We will not be walking, just special moments in thought and prayer. We all have the faith that she is out there, let’s lift her name up to Christ our Lord for his mercy upon us to bring her home. Xo xo.”
But as soon as reports started flooding in that a body had been pulled from the bushes in Silver Lake, investigators hinted that they were dipping into their missing-persons pool to ID the victim, who appeared to be a young woman in her 20s.
The crime seen was an awful one. The half-clothed body had apparently been tossed from a vehicle like a rag doll. Schoolchildren and parents at Allesandro Elementary School, only 100 feet away, watched the investigation in fear that danger could still be imminent.
“Whoever did this could still be around our children’s school,” Silver Lake resident Vanessa Rodriguez told ABC7. “It’s very scary to know that something like this happened around here.”
The many community members who were helping search for Guzman are shocked — and angered that the media didn’t do more until it was too late.
From the Canyon News article announcing her vigil:
Money also has become a concern for Duran and her family. Guzman was the main provider for the family working at Flox Shop in Glendale before she disappeared. Duran, whose background is in accounting, bookkeeping and administrative work, is currently seeking employment to help provide for the family including her daughter’s two young girls.
Guzman, who is a 2007 graduate of Thomas Riley High School in L.A. and recently attended a culinary school in Pasadena, is described as a female Hispanic with black hair, brown eyes and braces. She stands 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighs about 110 pounds, and was last seen wearing a blue jacket, pink shirt and blue jeans. She also has a tattoo on the back of her neck and a pierced lower lip.

Pregnant Molly Sims Officially Debuts Baby Belly

There it is!
Two weeks after confirming she’s expecting, Molly Sims officially debuts her belly in the opening shot of her pregnancy photo gallery.
“I thought it would be fun to document my baby bump on the site each month, starting today,” the model, 38, writes on MollySims.com.
“That way all of you can see how far along I am, and I’ll have all of the pictures to look back on once the little bun in the oven arrives.”
Due at the end of June with her “honeymoon baby” — she wed Scott Stuber in September — the Project Accessory host is 18 weeks along and trying to soak up each new experience — even the nausea!
“I’ve already been through the morning sickness (every morning from 4 to 6 a.m. for seven weeks — it was the worst), the strange cravings (I’m looking at you, Kraft Mac Easy), and daily episodes of what I call, ‘Pregnancy brain,’” Sims blogged earlier this month.
“But, believe it or not, I’m cherishing every moment.”
In addition to posting monthly photo updates of her growing bump on her website, Sims will also blog about her pregnancy, including more on her newfound cravings and transformation from model to mom.

Demi Moore‘s daughters are managing to keep a low profile despite the intense media scrutiny surrounding their mother’s health.
After reports surfaced that Moore was rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital on Monday to be treated for what her rep insists is “exhaustion,” speculation erupted over who was looking after the trio.
Well, E! News can confirm that all three of Moore’s children with ex-hubby Bruce Willis are doing just fine.

In fact, only the youngest in the clan, 17-year-old Tallulah, lives at the actress’ Beverly Hills pad. We’ve learned that ever since her mom’s emergency hospitalization, Tallulah has been staying at her dad’s West L.A. condo.
“She’s doing great,” a family source tells E! News of Tallulah. “Her grandmother [Bruce's mom] is also there with her.”
Meanwhile, Rumer, 23, has her own place in Los Angeles and visited her mom’s bedside twice before Demi was discharged yesterday. She was snapped by photographers appearing distraught while smoking a cigarette outside the hospital.

Scout, 20, is currently attending college at Brown University and hasn’t been back in L.A. since the hospitalization, which came two months after Demi announced her decision to divorce husband Ashton Kutcher after he allegedly cheated on her.
The newly single Two and a Half Men star was in São Paulo, Brazil, this week attending the city’s fashion week and modeling Colcci’s new catalog when he learned about his ex’s medical crisis. He declined to discuss the situation with awaiting paparazzi when he arrived back in L.A. last night around 8 p.m.
As for Willis, he has yet to comment on his ex’s health scare, though E! News can confirm he was spotted driving around Hollywood yesterday.
Journey Drummer Deen Castronovo arrested

Deen Castronovo, current touring drummer for Journey, has been arrested on a charge of assaulting his girlfriend, according to a report at TMZ.
TMZ’s sources, who are said to be close to the drummer, reveal he was pulled in by cops on Sunday in Oregon. Allegedly a row he had with his girlfriend had turned physical. After being booked into Polk County Jail, Castronovo was slapped with a list of charges – coercion, assault in the 4th degree, criminal mischief in the 2nd degree, interfering with making a report, and harassment.
Castronovo’s bail was set at $ 52,500, which he himself paid. A rep for the musician told TMZ:
“It was a misunderstanding that should not have been escalated to such a level in the first place.”
The lengthy list of charges has been attributed to what happened before the alleged physical violence – supposedly, Castronovo snatched the phone from his girlfriend’s hand when she fled from her house to ring her father.

Crawford Shaw, NY Lawyer, Withdraws $14.3M Iowa Lottery Claim

A lawyer who tried to redeem a multi-million dollar state lottery ticket last night gave up his claim for the jackpot after officials called it into question.
Crawford Shaw, a Yale graduate and attorney licensed to practice in New York, withdrew his claim to the winning ticket – worth $ 7.5 million in cash or $ 10.3 million over 25 years – after lottery officials requested basic information about how obtained the item.
According to the Des Moines Register, Shaw originally submitted the ticket for redemption on behalf of Hexham Investments Trust on Dec. 29, less than two hours before it expired and identified the recipient only as a corporation in the country of Belize.
When probed for more information, Shaw, 76, sent a fax officially withdrawing his claim.
“In order that the claim be resolved without further controversy, Crawford Shaw, as Trustee for and on behalf of the Trust, does hereby withdraw the Claim and does hereby agree to take no further action to enforce the Claim,” the fax signed by Shaw read.
The withdraw ended nearly a month of wrangling between lottery officials and Shaw that included a proposal from Hexham to donate the after-tax proceeds from the jackpot — more than $ 7 million — to Iowa charities.
“This has been and continues to be the strangest situation that we can recall in the 26-year history of our lottery,” Iowa Lottery CEO Terry Rich said.
The New York Post points out that the recent lottery incident isn’t the first time Shaw’s character has been questioned. In addition to being involved in lawsuits alleging fraud in Delaware and Texas in the past, records also show Shaw had a least a minor part in the collapse of a chemical company that was looted and bankrupted by a stock manipulation scheme.
Here is a clip by ABC News on Crawford Shaw and his mysterious claim on the Iowa lottery jackpot.

Obesity: Lunches Aim to Limit Kids Exposure to Junk Despite Data Indicating School Food Doesn’t Matter

Ah, schools. Is there any place where forging ahead with a useless course of action in the presence of data to the contrary ever so embraced- such as with obesity and school lunches?
Michelle Obama has picked childhood obesity as her pet cause during her husband’s presidency- much to the consternation of Republicans that seem to think she wants socialist redistribution of all their cookies. Earlier this week, her initiative’s focus on school lunches and obesity drew attention as the First Lady (FLOTUS) sat down with a group of school kids to eat turkey tacos as part of a rejiggering of menus around the country.
The new anti-obesity lunches include more greens and fruits and less fat, replacing some deep-fried and cheese-coated items, and salt also went on the list of items to be reduced in school foods. In a statement, Mrs. Obama said:
“As parents, we try to prepare decent meals, limit how much junk food our kids eat and ensure that they have a reasonable balanced diet. And when we are putting in all that effort the last thing we want is for our hard work to be undone each day in the school cafeteria.”
The changes came just after the release of a report that indicates obesity and lunches at school are not very provably linked, however. The study came out of Penn State’s sociology and demographics departments and one of its lead authors said:
“We were really surprised by that result and, in fact, we held back from publishing our study for roughly two years because we kept looking for a connection that just wasn’t there… Schools only represent a small portion of children’s food environment. They can get food at home, they can get food in their neighborhoods and they can go across the street from the school to buy food.”
Do you think it’s worthwhile reforming school lunches to combat obesity?
