Justin Theroux's Motorcycle Vandalized with Bologna?

Somebody is full of bologna, and Jennifer Aniston's boyfriend Justin Theroux can't be too happy about it. New York Post's Page Six is reporting that a vandal covered the actor-screenwriter's BMW motorcycle with up to 25 slices of "what was clearly bologna" Thursday morning while it was parked outside Aniston's West 12th Street apartment in New York City. The bike was cleaned off shortly thereafter and avoided any permanent deli-meat-induced damage.

According to neighbors, Theroux, 40, has been parking his bike outside Aniston's apartment all week. The pair has attracted plenty of paparazzi attention during their stay in the Big Apple, a fact that Page Six says has unsettled some locals.

"I got the impression it was some weird message, like, 'You're full of bologna,'" the neighbor who discovered the motorcycle in its cold-cut-laden state told the newspaper. "The bike was in otherwise in fine condition."

So far the perpetrator hasn't been caught, and Aniston's representative seems skeptical about the whole incident.

"There are paparazzi outside their apartment 24/7," she told Page Six. "Don't you think they would have photographed the person doing it, if indeed this actually happened, which I do not know for sure."

Aniston and Theroux met on the set of the Judd Apatow-produced comedy Wanderlust, and sparks flew. They went public as a couple in June at the MTV Movie Awards afterparty, and have been seen together frequently since. Theroux and Aniston recently got a house together in Los Angeles' Hollywood Hills. Hopefully it has a nice garage for Justin's bike -- far from the reach of bologna-loving vandals.

Kanye West Makes Paris Fashion Week Debut

West unveils womenswear collection before star-packed crowd, including Lindsay Lohan, Jared Leto and Ciara.

Kanye West made his Paris Fashion Week debut Saturday night (October 1), launching a womenswear line with a high-profile show that was sexy, swaggering and, of course, incredibly stylish.

Before an audience that included fashion heavyweights like Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour, designer Alexander Wang and photographer Terry Richardson -- not to mention celebs like Lindsay Lohan, Jared Leto and Ciara -- West paraded a host of different looks, from daringly cut dresses and color-block pants to body-hugging tracksuits and high-end hoodies.

West draped his models in flowing fabrics, leather and fur, propped them up on beaded stilettos and even gave each a matching "Yeezi" nameplate chain to wear on the catwalk. And for an artist to whom subtlety is often a foreign concept, West displayed an unerring attention to the tiny details, as evidenced by the collection's artfully beaded ensembles, knitted tops and even fur-covered backpacks -- all of which had the crowd murmuring with approval.

For a more detailed account of all the looks, check out the MTV Style blog, which kept a running diary of West's fashion debut.

Though it was his first-ever showing, West's bow was also one of the most-hyped events of Paris' annual fashion week, with bloggers hyping stories that he had spent 14,000 pounds on fabric and trimmings at London haberdasheries and speculating that his show would feature only the models he mentioned in his song "Christian Dior Denim Flow." The actual location for the show was kept a closely guarded secret, with invitations being mailed the day before the event, a move that only further added to the frenzy.

And given the buildup, it seemed only natural (and, in keeping with Fashion Week tradition) for West to start his show some 45 minutes after the supposed 9:30 p.m. start time. But that didn't seem to bother those lucky enough to gain entry into Paris' Lycee Henri IV (a posh secondary school taken over by West's team for the event), who chatted beneath soft purple lighting while waiting for the first models to walk.

At show's end, West emerged to applause, wearing a simple white T-shirt, black pants and a pair of Jordans. After taking his bow, he posed for photos backstage with his models, and speculation began that his collection (which doesn't yet have a name) might actually be called Yeezi, as the nameplates seemed to hint.

Jessica Alba's LA County Fair Family Funday

Having a marvelous time during their family weekend outing, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren took their daughter Honor Marie to the LA County Fair in Pomona, CA on Saturday (October 1).

Joined by a few fellow friends and loved ones, the group happily roamed the grounds while stopping to ride the merry-go-round with the "Sin City" actress and her hubby also posing for cute pictures at a head cut-out stand.

With Honor at one point dressing up as a cute little princess, Miss Alba cooled off as she sipped on a beer before closing out their county fair fun and heading back to baby Haven Garner at the homefront.

The outing comes as Jessica has been on break from work duties after having given birth to Haven seven weeks ago, while she can next be seen in a 2012 animated movie titled "Escape from Planet Earth".

Melissa McCarthy: Motherhood Made Me Less Insecure About My Looks

For years, Melissa McCarthy has been the proverbial comedic "best friend" sidekick -- but now she's finally in the spotlight.

The funny lady is having the best year of her career: She won an Emmy for her leading role on the CBS sitcom Mike & Molly and chewed up the scenery in the blockbuster comedy ensemble Bridesmaids. But the role McCarthy, 41, savors the most isn't professional -- it's being mother to her two young daughters, Vivian, 4, and Georgette, 1.

Parenting her girls with actor-husband Ben Falcone (he was the Air Marshal in Bridesmaids) has had a profound effect on McCarthy's self-esteem, she tells The Hollywood Reporter.

"The stupid stuff, like what I wear or how I look, I can't control, so I just try not to give too much energy to it," she says, referring to her postpartum body as a work in progress. "At 20, I would have been like: 'Don't they like me? Was it my hair?' At 41, I think the things that define me, I hope, are a lot more than those kinds of petty things." ??

But McCarthy does care about fashion -- she even designed her own Emmys gown with the help of custom dressmaker Daniella Pearl. And as a plus-sized actress, McCarthy has to have a healthy sense of humor about her red-carpet options.

"Trying to find stuff that's still fashion-forward in my size is damn near impossible. It's either for like a 98-year-old woman or a 14-year-old hooker, and there is nothing in the middle," McCarthy jokes.

Pet Tags

Man, I'm so irritated.

I just received four pets tags that I ordered for Bev and Mary Margaret (two for Brooklyn and two for LA) and they're all messed up. Not only did they leave off the "Margaret" on Mary Margaret's tags, but the text isn't centered correctly and runs off the right side on all four of them. (The last letter of the address is cut in half.) The tags themselves are also ugly. The edges aren't smoothed out... they look like someone just cut them from a piece of sheet metal and called it a day.

So anyway, I got them this morning on my way to Starbucks (yesterday's mail), so while I was there, I started drafting a strongly-worded letter in my head, like what I was going to say to these people when I sent them back.

And then I saw it.

In tiny print on the bottom of the invoice it said, "Our handicapped employees appreciate your order."

So now I can't send them back. If I did I'd be a total asshole.

I'm just going to order new ones from someplace else. Any recommendations?
