In March 1993, Victoria Adams was an unknown 18-year-old dancer who posed for a roll of 36 photos, hoping to relaunch her career.

In May 2007, she's an international style, music and beauty icon with over 10 million albums sold and a husband (David Beckham) who may be even more famous.

Victoria Beckham Out in London

Yes, hard work played a role in her transformation, but as Us Weekly experts observe, so has her bank account. Here's a look at their estimates of the "work" (plastic surgery) that Posh Spice may or may not have had done.

Nose ($11,000):
Posh's streamlined snout could be the result of nasal refinement surgery, NYC plastic surgeon Geoffrey Tobias says. "The bridge looks thinner, and the tip is narrower and slightly turned up," he says.

Kind of like Heidi Montag.

Huge Breasts ($10,000):
Victoria Beckham has dropped 20 pounds since 1993, estimates NYC internist Marc Siegel. "Most women have smaller breasts as they lose weight, not bigger," Gerut says, speculating the roundness is due to implants.

Either way, those are some serious boobs. 

Cheeks ($3,000):
"They're more sculpted, maybe from weight loss or buccal fat removal," says New York surgeon Zachary Gerut.

You know who had some serious fat removal? Ricki Lake!

Lips ($2,000):
Both bottom and lower are more prominent, suggesting Juvéderm or collagen injections every few months, says Gerut.

She's still no Angelina Jolie.

Eyes ($8,000):
"Her eyebrows drooped and now they're arched," Gerut speculate. "In my opinion, that's a forehead lift done beautifully, not Botox."

Kristine Lefebvre is a natural beauty.

But not everyone is that lucky. Take former talk show host, Ricki Lake, for example.

Ricki Lake and Derek Hough

Once weighing 250 pounds, the rotund celebrity decided to give dieting a chance. Shunning surgery, but dedicating herself to the cause like The Sports Gal ripping contestants on The Bachelor, Lake became a 123-pound, size-4 beauty.

Here's a snippet of the interview Ricki recently gave Us Weekly:

On crash dieting in 1991:
"… I went on this extreme diet. I used to faint because I wasn't eating and I was always exercising."

* The Hollywood Gossip note: Sound at all familiar, Nicole Richie?

On the most exciting thing about her new weight:
"For the longest time, when I was very heavy, I couldn't cross my legs. I couldn't physically do it. LOVE that I can cross my legs now ... Even my shoe size is changing. My Jimmy Choos are too big now."

On what she thinks of super-skinny actresses:

"I think I have no wrinkles because I always had fat on my face. Really skinny girls age so fast."

And with that, Keira Knightley finally at a Big Mac. Thank goodness.

Everyone puts up their dukes down and then.

Mario Lopez likes to spar with Oscar De La Hoya.

Chris Albrecht likes to go a few rounds with his girlfriend.

In the wake of his arrest for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend outside of the MGM Grand Casino over the weekend, the HBO Chairman and CEO has taken a leave of absence (voluntarily).

According to the CEO of Time Warner, Richard Parsons, Chris Albrecht has been granted the leave - at his own request - while the incident is sorted out by police.

In a memo to the HBO staff, posted on Gawker, Albrecht said he was "deeply sorry" for the Vegas incident. We should think so - even Jason Wahler hasn't assaulted a woman yet.

He said it was "a wake-up call to me of a weakness I thought I had overcome long ago."

Chris Albecht went on to write that he had been a sober member of AA for 13 years, but two years ago he thought he could handle drinking.

"Clearly, I was wrong."

Albrecht said he will go back to AA and make things right. Just hope he doesn't run into Britney Spears at a meeting and get pissed off at her horrible fashion sense.

For some reason, no one filed a lawsuit against a nude Sean Stewart for disturbing the peace.

But the son of rock legend Rod Stewart didn't get off so easily for allegedly launching a brutal brick-throwing attack on a couple.

In a lawsuit filed yesterday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Tolabus and Ericka Stein allege they were driving in their Ford F150 on April 23, when the long-time friend of David Weintraub began "swinging his arms, punching, throwing bricks and other items" at them.

As TMZ first reported, the alleged incident occurred after Stewart and two buddies - neither of whom were his Sons of Hollywood co-stars, Weintraub or Randy Spelling - were denied entrance to a private party.

Stewart reportedly became enraged after partygoers taunted him, perhaps about his confession that he used to get off to step-mother, Rachel Hunter.

On April 23, Ms. Stein actually contacted The Hollywood Gossip about the incident. She wrote:

On April 22nd at approx 3:17am, Sean Stewart and 3 of his friends attacked my husband and I in our vehicle. We were taking a side street home and were driving passed a party on 1440 Miller Drive. This guy is psycho! He doesn't know us, we did nothing to him or his friends. He was out of control. I was beggin him to stop and get off of my husband, but he was deaf to it. He was focused on one thing only - trying to hurt us. I don't know who Sean Stewart is, nor have I seen the Sons of Hollywood show, but an eye witness confirmed it was him. When we returned hom, we Google'd him - -yep, it's him. What a loser he is.

We wonder how Caleigh Peters feels about all this.

Before we get down and dirty with the latest scoop on what absurd outfit Britney Spears wore and what 10 guys Lindsay Lohan banged last night, we like to start off the day with a little celebrity gossip involving lesser-known stars.

And we use that term loosely.

Earlier this week, we brought you surprise marriage news about Neve Campbell and Brittany Murphy, who got hitched to virtual unknowns John Light and Simon Monjack, respectively.

Today, it's baby news. Australian actress Jacinda Barrett, and her husband, actor Gabriel Macht, are expecting a baby later this year, their representatives have confirmed to People magazine.

This will be the first child for the couple, who have been married since 2004.

Americans first met former model Barrett, 34, on the fourth season of MTV's The Real World, set in London. She got her big break with the 2003 screen adaptation of novelist Philip Roth's The Human Stain, alongside Nicole Kidman, Anthony Hopkins and Wentworth Miller.

She most recently starred alongside Zach Braff in The Last Kiss.

Barrett is also notable for looking more than a little like Zach Braff's real-life ex, Mandy Moore. Although she's a bit older.

Gabriel Macht, a New York native who grew up in Los Angeles, most recently appeared in The Good Shepherd and Because I Said So.

Congratulations to the happy couple.

Life is good for Mario Lopez.

Unlike fellow Saved By the Bell alumnus Dustin Diamond, the guy we grew to love as A.C. Slater isn't making amateur sex tapes, cheating his few remaining fans or appearing on crappy reality shows like Celebrity Fit Club in order to make money.

Jessica Simpson Live

No, since Lopez shot back to fame on Dancing with the Stars, he's been living it up, sleeping with Karina Smirnoff and chilling with Oscar De La Hoya, Eva Longoria and others.

The future Mrs. Tony Parker is seen with Lopez in the picture below (as well as the photo he's snapping), smiling ear to ear. Her mind is elsewhere, though - she's probably thinking about her fun bridal shower or her upcoming nuptials.

The other girl in this picture doesn't look as happy... or attractive. What the hell happened to Jessica Simpson, we have no idea. But even she knows she looks rough as hell at this point. This is a fashion wreck not even her large breasts can salvage.

Oh, and on the far left, we have Jessica's pal and celebrity stylist, Ken Paves. He's not straight, which is a-o-k with us - our only beef is that he's doing a terrible job with her hair. Isn't it your job to make Jess look hot? Get it together, K-Dog.

Looks like the struggling Britney Spears has an unlikely fan - Shar Jackson.

For those of you living under rocks or new to the world of celebrity gossip, that's Kevin Federline's first baby mama.

Britney: 2-on-1

Our friends at TMZ spotted the former UPN "actress" and spurned ex of K-Fed shopping at Sugar on La Brea yesterday, where she told our cameras that Britney Spears' current "comeback" tour of 11-minute shows is "long overdue."

Of course, Shar Jackson made a mini-career out of covering Britney's songs, so it may just be she needs some new material.

While trying on a new cleavage-enhancing dress (ooooga), Jackson also gave her uninformed take on Paris Hilton's summer prison plans, saying how she doesn't "know all the details ... but I think she's a nice girl."

Apparently she hasn't seen the nude Paris Hilton statue. She might change her tune if she laid eyes on that horrific piece of crap art.

But it's always good to see Shar Jackson out and about. We're hoping this is followed by a Jason Alexander sighting in the near future.

The drama on the 10th season of The Bachelor continues to intensify and it's time for The Hollywood Gossip's weekly recap of the always-enthralling Monday night fiasco that is Andy Baldwin's search for everlasting love.

As usual, ESPN's Sports Gal will do the honors. The wife of ESPN's beloved Sports Guy, a.k.a. Bill Simmons, offers her thoughts below on last night's events and the final four aspiring brides... and how she likes none of the above.

Ben Flajnik Looks at Ring

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ABC needs to give The Bachelor a mulligan during the course of the season. It's only fair. Poor Andy Baldwin spent the sixth episode visiting the Final Four's hometowns and not one of the girls seemed like a promising match.

It's amazing that Andy narrowed the field from 25 to four without finding a prospective wife, but this whole season has been amazing.

Andy Baldwin confirmed this by saying the word "amazing" 10 different times during this week's show. That was pretty amazing.

Here's what happened:

Before introducing Andy to her parents in Seattle, Bevin Powers, a.k.a. the Ankle Faker, finally admitted to Andy Baldwin that she's ... gulp ... divorced.

Andy looked just as confused and overwhelmed as he did a few weeks back when he was on Jimmy Kimmel Live, only if he had also pooped in his pants.

Thank God that doctors follow a specific set of rules for every medical emergency. After all, if Andy always looked this confused in a pinch, there would be a lot of dead Navy divers.

While men everywhere scour the Internet for photos of Antonella Barba nude (and Blake Lewis possibly basks in the glow of the real deal), a former American Idol contestant is trying to make a name for herself outside of the infamous blow job queen.

Remember Amanda Coluccio?

She was the New Jersey friend of Barba, the gal who was voted off Idol before the finals and who some have even accused of leaking those Antonella sex photos out of jealousy. How has Coluccio responded to this snub and these accusations?

By recording music that isn't half bad. On her MySpace page, the singer has released a song called "Push N Touch." It's sexy, it's raw, it's to the point.

It's the sort of anthem Antonella Barba would be proud of.

But we've gotta hand it to Coluccio. While other booted contestants have posed nude on their MySpace accounts (we're looking at you, Alaina Alexander) in order to garner attention, this crooner has actually put out a decent song. It's nothing that Greg Laswell would write, but we'd listen to it more than once.

Meanwhile, here's to hoping that Haley Scarnato combines both Coluccio's and Alexander's moves: put out a new song while getting naked.

We can't believe we wrote that, either.

Usually, when we mention the Olsen Twins, it's to point out that they are frickin' loaded, looking possessed, dressing for Halloween in January, or freaking the hell out of former Full House star Bob Saget.

Nate Lowman Picture

But in these pictures, they look kind of hot. Or at least normal.

Last night, at the Costume Gala, Mary-Kate Olsen (right) looked like a wet blackbird dipped in tar, but compared to some of her past outfits, we can dig it. Plus, the goth thing kinda does it for us (and Marilyn Manson). 

Ashley Olsen, meanwhile, looks downright almost fine. Well for her. There is the whole side-boob action, but mostly what we like about this pic is that she doesn't look too Satanic and ghostly. Well, that's not entirely true.

Look, the point is that it's a step in the right direction for these two. Ashley was escorted by Christian Louboutin to the event. Hope he has a lot of money. No word on whether Max Snow escorted Mary-Kate.
