It’s hard to believe there was a time when we thought of Olivia Wilde as the girl on House, or the chick who was somehow proclaimed Maxim’s hottest woman in the universe. Seemed a bit of an exaggeration on the part of Maxim, right?

Maybe not. The October issue of GQ contains quite possibly the most gorgeous photos in the history of human civilization. Are we wrong? Check her out:

Nude Olivia Wilde needs to ditch the shoes. What’s the point of those?

While the Olivia Wilde naked photo above is the only shot of her in the buff, there are plenty of other nude bikini pictures. As in the color nude.

Hey, if you’re going to put on a bikini, that’s the best color. It looks the least like clothing, after all. The least of many possible evils, in essence.

Click to enlarge more Olivia Wilde pictures below, and give thanks to GQ for one of its better efforts in recent memory. Okay, it’s best ever …

Kanye ruined everything for Taylor Swift. Lil Mama closed out the show in a really weird way. The New Moon trailer debuted. Stephanie Pratt showed off her heinous new face after plastic surgery turned her into an Aubrey O’Day knockoff.

Anybody who’s anybody (at least in celebrity gossip circles) was at the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday, and a wide range of quality stories naturally ensued.

This makes the absence of someone like Audrina Patridge all the more odd.

As we reported over the weekend, Audzo canceled her appearance at the VMAs because she didn’t like producers’ idea of presenting with Kristin Cavallari.

“They offered me a presenting spot and I declined,” Audrina said, carefully choosing words and not elaborating, as if to intentionally not go there.

Kristin Cavallari says she wasn’t behind Patridge going AWOL.

“We were never supposed to present together,” Kristin said on the VMA red carpet. “I’ve known I was going to present with Nelly Furtado for a few days.”

That said, Cavallari says she’s amused by the new Hills spoilers and trailer that feature her all vamped up in that body-hugging minidress and killer heels while devilishly laughing in front of a sign that proclaims, “The Bitch Is Back.”

“It’s fun to play the bad girl on TV,” Kristin said, without irony.

“I think it’s really funny because anyone who knows me, my friends, would never say I’m a man-eating boyfriend-stealer like they’re making me out to be.”

Of course, she lived up to the witchy persona when asked if she had plans to see Patridge’s new horror flick, Sorority Row: “Probably not,” she said, flatly.

Whose side are you on?

It’s just not Jessica Simpson’s year.

First celeb gossip sites post photos of her looking fat, then her country music label drops her from its lineup, then Tony Romo dumps her a night before her birthday, romancing younger, hotter Candice Crawford soon after. Rough.

The alleged singer-actress was dealt a new, sad setback last night when her beloved dog Daisy was abducted, allegedly by a coyote, in Southern California.

The maltipoo, which Nick Lachey gave Jessica as a sign of their undying love once upon a time, may have met a tragic demise similar to their marriage.

Jessica Tweeted that the “carmel [sic] colored” pup was snatched “right in front of her eyes” by a coyote last night. We’re guessing Daisy wasn’t on a leash.

She posted this reward notice:

Poor Daisy. Just look at that face! Sniff.

Coyotes have been roaming closer to the human population with the wildfires in the area driving them out of their natural habitat. People are being advised not to leave trash or pets outside as snacks for these hungry, wild animals.

Daisy is not the only casualty of this unfortunate scenario. Coyotes have to eat too. Keep dogs and cats inside, people of the L.A. metropolitan area.

We truly are sorry about Daisy and hope Jessica miraculously gets her back or adopts a new pet. Daisy can’t be replaced, but all puppies are cute.

Maybe John Mayer can comfort her too.

Lea Michele stars on the new Fox hit, Glee.

The unique series is a musical comedy, as various well-known singles are remade by actors and actresses that portray characters in a high school gluee club. It’s quite awesome.

To conclude last week’s episode, Michele’s Rachel Berry belted out a heartfelt version of Rihanna’s “Take a Bow” that left us wondering: Might this be better than the original?!?

That may sound sacreligious to some, but watch the video below before you judge. Michele has some serious pipes on her:

We apologize ahead of time to Rihanna for even bringing up this comparison. We know she’s been beaten a lot recently and we don’t wish to cause her any more pain or suffering.

But the question remains: Which singer’s version of this song do you prefer? Rihanna responds to the challenge below:

Whose rendition of “Take a Bow” is better?

While many readers may still be ogling Zac Efron and his recently-released 2010 calendar photos, the stud muffin’s girlfriend is also featured in a new photo shoot.

Vanessa Hudgens covers the upcoming issue of Allure, which hits newsstands on September 22.

This month marks the two-year anniversary of the actress’ infamous naked picture scandal, a topic that Hudgens still cannot avoid in interviews. Look at what she told Allure when asked if she’d ever get naked in a movie:

“If I say that it’s something I’m not comfortable with, they’re like, ‘Bullsh-t, you’ve already done it.’ If anything, it makes it more embarrassing, because that was a private thing. It’s screwed up that someone screwed me over like that. At least some people are learning from my mistakes.”

Some people not named Ashley Greene, that is.

On a sweeter, more innocent note, Vanessa talked with the magazine about her mom:

“I love her to death. She’s the sweetest, happiest woman I’ve ever met, the most free-spirited, delightful person, and I aspire to be just like her. The older I get, the more I find myself like my mom. She just has the best outlook.”
