Angelina Jolie on 60 Minutes: "I'm Still a Bad Girl"

Angelina Jolie just can't help being interesting.


While we already heard her discussing the fact that she got through "heavy, darker times," the actress (and now director) dropped some more provocative soundbites in her 60 Minutes interview.


Like what? Read on...

The actress talks about her new film In the Land of Blood and Honey, which she directed, set during the war in Bosnia. "I didn't know it was going to be so sensitive," she said about the story, which details a love story between a Muslim woman and a Serbian jailer.


She also talks about her dream of being a funeral director. "It sounds like this very strange, eccentric, dark thing to do but in fact I lost my grandfather and was very upset with his funeral," she said. "If this whole acting thing didn't work out that was going to be my path."


But even as she discusses the tabloids and her family, our favorite soundbite has to come on while discussing her humanitarian efforts. Surely, all that good work means her dark side has receded, yes?


"I'm still a bad girl," she says. "I still have that side of me. It's just, it's in its place now. It belongs to Brad. Or it belongs to our adventures."


And that's one way to keep things interesting.

Bat's All Folks! Christian Bale Done Playing Batman, Says He's Taking the "Cowl" Off for Good

Christian Bale has had enough of all things Batman.


The 37-year-old thesp, who played the Caped Crusader in Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises, said the latter film will be the last time fans see him in bat garb, according to the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

"I wrapped a few days ago so that will be the last time I'm taking that cowl [Batman hood] off," Bale told the publication. "I believe that the whole production wrapped yesterday, so it's all done. Everything's finished. It's me and [director] Chris [Nolan]—that will be the end of that Batman era."


But, this isn't the first time the Oscar winner let on that his time with the franchise was coming to an end.


Last November, Bale told E! News in a sit down, "The thing is that this will be, I believe, unless Chris says different, this will be the last time I'm playing Batman."

And just in case you're wondering if some sort of costar spat was involved with Bale's decision (he has notoriously flown off the handle before on set), he had nothing but good things to say about his costars, particularly regarding Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, and Joseph Gordon Levitt's talents in the flick.


"When Chris watched the screen test, he agreed that Anne did a wonderful job," Bale said. "In many ways, she has the hardest job. There are a number of people who feel that the Catwoman role has been defined previously. So, I always saw Anne's role as being the toughest job of any of us."


As far as Hardy, he described him as "a phenomenal actor."

"I like working with him a great deal," Bale went on. "He goes the whole hog. I know that Bane has been seen in movies before. But, in my eyes, Tom is essentially creating Bane for the first time so there's great freedom for him to be able to do so."


And he was also impressed by Gordon-Levitt's performance as John Blake in the film.


"Joseph is a very intriguing guy," Bale continued. "I would see Joseph's performances in other films while we were filming. He's somebody who truly seems to love acting. He's a good, smart guy. He did a very good job in the movie."


So, since Bale has confirmed he's out of the franchise, we want to know…who do you think will be the next great Bruce Wayne? 

Bitch Stole My Look: Hailee Steinfeld vs. Chloë Sevigny

It's the clash of the cutouts!


The multitalented Chloë Sevigny designed and wore this laser-cut Opening Ceremony dress with platform booties back in June.


Hollywood newb and fellow fashion risk-taker Hailee Steinfeld wore the dress to an Elle magazine party this month, pairing it with a brocade jacket, bright red tights and peep-toe booties. 


It's hard to imagine anyone being edgier than Sevigny, but Steinfeld's done it. But do her colorful embellishments equal a better outing for this leather mini, or do you prefer Chloë's simple styling? 

Breaking Dawn Can't Save Thanksgiving

Breaking Dawn: Part 1 was the stuffing for Hollywood's otherwise lean Thanksgiving holiday.


The Twilight franchise's latest grossed $62.3 million from Wednesday-Sunday, estimates showed, and led the box-office standings for a second weekend. 


Then there were the leftovers—and the turkey.


RELATED: Is Breaking Dawn hazardous to your health?


The Muppets made headway on Kermit and Miss Piggy's bid for 21st century relevancy, with a good, not great $42 million five-day total.


Martin Scorsese likewise made headway on the director's bid to become a family (family-ish?) director. After a slow start on Wednesday and Thanksgiving, his Hugo put up better numbers than The Muppets, theater for theater, over the three-day weekend, for a Friday-Sunday estimated total of $11.4 million.


Neither new release, however, was Tangled, which, last Thanksgiving grossed more than both movies combined.


As for poor Arthur Christmas… Playing on about 2,000 more screens than Hugo, the CGI family film barely outgrossed the Scorsese entry, with a five-day start of just $17 million.


Arthur Christmas, like The Muppets and Hugo, got strong buzz from critics, and good grades from opening-weekend audiences, so it's possible that its turkey status will be a passing thing. Or so the $100 million movie hopes.


Overall, the Thankgiving box office was down about 10 percent from 2010's, Exhibitor Relations said.


Perhaps Hollywood's problem was too much talk and/or talkies. The Artist, a black-and-white silent, had the best weekend of any film, theater for theater, averaging $52,604 off four screens. 


Breaking Dawn: Part 1 obviously had a nice holiday, too, crossing the $200 million mark domestically, and nearing a half-billion worldwide.


Eddie Murphy's Tower Heist was a curiousity, growing from week to week, after a sluggish month in theaters


Elsewhere, Michelle Williams' My Week With Marilyn built Oscar momentum with a solid $2.1 million holiday start (off only 244 screens), while Clint Eastwood and Leonardo DiCaprio's J. Edgar moved in the opposite direction, falling out of the Top 10 after just one weekend.


Here's a complete look at the weekend's top movies, as compiled from the studios' Friday-Sunday domestic estimates and Exhibitor Relations:

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1, $42 millionThe Muppets, $29.5 millionHappy Feet Two, $13.4 millionArthur Christmas, $12.7 millionHugo, $11.4 millionJack and Jill, $10.3 millionImmortals, $8.8 millionPuss in Boots, $7.5 million Tower Heist, $7.3 millionThe Descendants, $7.2 million

Dead Sexy: Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes' Eerie Paris Graveyard Date

 Très creepy-cute!

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are gettin' cozy—the adorable couple went on a romantic date Saturday to legendary Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.

Eva, who has been busy shooting Holly Motors in the romantic city, looked relaxed as she strolled the graves of Jim Morrison, Édith Piaf and Oscar Wilde with sexiest beau alive Gosling.


After the cemetery, the couple continued their too-ghoul date by heading to an even spookier location—the Catacombs of Paris, where they experienced going below ground to see some of the historic site that houses the skeletal remains of six million Parisians.


The frightfully good-looking couple began dating back in September.

Five Things We Know About Next Summer's Bourne Legacy

 Considering you can watch The Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum in their entireties and still not know exactly what's going on, we'll take any head start on Bourne story-mapping that we can get.

And while the true mysteries of The Bourne Legacy, the fourth film in the spy-thriller franchise and the first to not feature Matt Damon's Jason Bourne, will probably have to be pried out of a confidential informant's cold, dead hands, we have learned a few things about the top-secret flick, courtesy of its new leading man, Jeremy Renner.


Don't worry, no informants were injured in the compiling of this list:


READ: Things We Learned From the Avengers Trailer


1. Hot Stuff: The Bourne Legacy is due in theaters Aug. 3, 2012, where it will battle for box office supremacy opposite the Total Recall remake starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel. Along with Renner, the Bourne sequel stars Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton. Surely this makes for enough hotness to satisfy all moviegoers that weekend.


2. Can I See Some ID, Please: For all intents and purposes, Renner plays put-upon CIA spy Aaron Cross. But, considering the way the ball bounces in the Bourne series, Cross "ends up having a bunch of different names," Renner told EmpireOnline.


3. Blink and You'll Miss It: While The Bourne Legacy novel, the first in the series by Eric Van Lustbader, who took over after Robert Ludlum died, again centers on Jason Bourne, Damon's exit from the franchise prompted the creation of a new character, rather than a recast. The novel features Bourne/David Webb getting sucked back into the spy biz after an assassin's bullet narrowly misses him. Then he's framed for murder and out come the Chechen terrorists, a dirty bomb, secret spawn and all sorts of plot twists. How will they adapt this for the big screen with a different main character? Well, Renner says, the film will have "that same ticking clock" that fans of the Bourne films expect. And that's all we get for now.


MORE: The Hunger Games Trailer Redux: Five Things We're Most Excited About!


4. The Big Bad: The nefarious Treadstone—the black ops program that made Jason Bourne into a wily assassin—is still in play, according to Renner. Or is it? In fact, we've heard that the folks who brainwashed Aaron Cross are even more dangerous than the control freaks behind Treadwell. Renner says Legacy features the "same deal" but with "a new set of agents with a different leash." Called Operation Blackbriar? Operation Mistletoe? Operation Buzz Cut? What?!


5. Role Call: Drive star Oscar Isaac, who tested for Renner's role, has been relegated to the still very pivotal role of an assassin known as "Number 3." Meanwhile, because behind every great man is a great woman, that's where Weisz fits in. And Norton is set to play a presumably very crafty villain who doesn't want to rest until he sees Aaron Cross (or whatever his name really is) dead.

Paris Hilton Snags a Red Ferrari on Black Friday

 

Well, this sure beats pepper-spraying your way past the competition for Black Friday merchandise.


While others were scrambling for cut-rate waffle-iron deals the day after Thanksgiving, Paris Hilton was treating herself to one very expensive ride (and no, it doesn't look like it was on sale).


MORE: Paris Hilton Still Big in...the Ukraine?!


The 30-year-old heiress scooped up a red 2012 California Spyder Ferrari worth about $300,000 on Friday, a Hilton source confirms.


And the Hilton source confirms that confirmation.


"Just drove my new car for the first time," Hilton tweeted Friday. "Such a beautiful car and so much fun to drive! I love it! #YES! I ? Fast Cars!"


Our Hilton source tells E! News, "She decided to treat herself to an early Christmas gift. She worked very hard this year and just got home from traveling to 12 different countries to open her stores."


"Paris has always wanted a red Ferrari ever since being a little girl. She is a huge tomboy at heart and loves fast cars and bikes," the source says.


"She even has her own MotoGP racing team. Her team recently won the world MotoGP championships so she is celebrating!"


The Ferrari is the latest addition to the star's extensive car collection, which includes two Bentleys, a Range Rover, a hybrid Escalade and a Lexus LFA.

Prince William Heroes Up, Rescues Shipwrecked Russians at Sea

Prince William, who serves as a flight lieutenant in the Royal Air Force, helped rescue a couple of Russian seamen after their cargo vessel sank in the Irish Sea Sunday morning, according to BBC News.


So what happened?

The rescue began after William's helicopter crew, which he co-piloted, responded to a mayday call that went out around 2 a.m., when the Russian vessel's hull cracked due to inclement weather.


The team was able to save two men early Sunday morning from the chilly waters, and have been on the hunt for the remaining crew members--five of whom are still missing (the body of one of the crewmembers has already been recovered).


Rescue efforts are still underway, but Jim Green, a Coast Guard spokesman said, "We know that at least some of them are wearing immersion suits and have strobe lighting with them. However, sea conditions are challenging at best."


In addition to strong winds in the region, temperatures at sea are said to be a chilly 57 degrees.


We wish them the best in their efforts. 

Saluting the Champ: Dancing With the Stars Winner J.R. Martinez Invited to Pentagon

First comes the mirror-ball trophy, then come the Pentagon perks?!


Dancing With the Stars champ and war veteran J.R. Martinez received an invitation from Defense Secretary Leon Panetta Friday, who asked the decorated serviceman to visit the Pentagon and meet Panetta in person.


RELATED: Dancing with the Stars' J.R. Martinez Picked for Grand Marshal of Tournament of Roses Parade 


According to The Hollywood Reporter, Panetta's respect for J.R. was displayed in a congratulatory note, which read: "Your strength and spirit captivated the nation, and your victory sends a strong message about the strength and resilience of our wounded warriors."


The Defense Secretary then personally called J.R. to invite him to meet in person. Exact details of the congratulatory trip are still in the works, but it's said the Season 13 champ will address thousands of active and retired troops while he's in the Washington D.C. area.


Along with his journey to the Pentagon, JR has been tapped as the Grand Marshal of the 2012 Rose Parade and will also cohost the pre-show of CNN's Heroes: An All-Star Tribute.

Tori Spelling Uses New Baby Hattie as Thanksgiving Stuffing

Tori Spelling took dressing baby Hattie to a whole new level Thanksgiving Day!


Check out the Thanksgiving goof Tori posted on her official website, dubbed the "roast turkey costume." It's a poultry ensemble complete with fake veggies and the newest addition to the Spelling-McDermott family, Hattie, as the stuffing!


RELATED: Tori Spelling Home From Hospital but Really "Annoyed"


Tori explains her creation: "OK, this one isn't edible, but if you have a baby at home, here's a fun Thanksgiving craft project you can make for what will be very memorable holiday photos. Your older kids will love helping to make this for their baby bro or sis—Stella loved gluing the faux veggies on the faux platter."


Tori sure pulled a mom move with this one, yet kept in mind baby Hattie and offered a disclaimer for her daughter when she grows up: "Sorry to future 18 year-old Hattie. It was too cute an idea to pass up. If it's any solace, you wore turkey well!"


We have to admit, Hattie sure does rock the bird.

Kourtney & Kim Take New York Season Premiere: Could You Tell There Was Trouble?

Yes, they went there.


In tonight's season premiere of E!'s own Kourtney & Kim Take New York, Kris Humphries tells Kim Kardashian, "You're my wife now. It's going to take a lot to get rid of me," and it's just one of many instances where the show acknowledges the fate of the couple's 72-day marriage. In fact, the show starts off with magazine covers and TV reporters discussing the end of their marriage, before it cuts to eight weeks earlier.


So were the early warning signs showing that early in the marriage? Here our top five moments during the hour-long episode that suggested cracks in Kim and Kris' union...


MORE: Sister Wives Finale Recap: The Baby Arrives and So Does a Shocking Offer!


1. They've Never Lived Together: While Kim and Kris started the episode calling each other "husband" and "wifey," things turned sour when the couple got to New York and officially began living together for the first time. "Kim is a compulsive neat freak," sister Kourtney says before we learn Kris is a bit of a slob. "When I see a messy room, it literally ruins my day," Kim stresses. Later in the episode, the couple fights over Kris leaving his clothes on the floor and Kourtney says Kim is acting crazy. 


Kris later tells Kourtney that he's started leaving stuff around their room just to annoy Kim, which Kim does not find amusing. After Scott Disick decides to move out of the apartment the four of them (and baby Mason!) are sharing, Kim asks Kourtney if Kris can have his room. "I can't live with Kris," she says. "He's such a slob."


2. He Doesn't Get Along With Kourtney: Kim and Kris were both really excited to live with Kourtney and Scott...before they actually started living with Kourtney and Scott. Kris wasn't feeling Kourtney's new holistic lifestyle, but tried to make it work at first. Then Kourtney took it a little too far: Naked. Yoga. In. The. Living. Room. Yes, Kris arrived home from a workout to find a naked man and a few half-naked ladies practicing yoga in the living room. "I can't live with Kourtney anymore," Kris tells Kim before offering to pay for her new room. Later, when Kourtney tries to apologize, Kris seems to brush it off before saying, "Thanks, that's a nice gesture." But it seems it was a little too late.


3. Or Mason: While Kris starts off the episode saying, "I'm excited to be Mason's uncle," he quickly changes his tune when he finds out Mason's playroom is ten feet outside of his door and the little guy is waking him up earlier than he'd like. "It's important to me that Kris bonds with Mason," Kim says. "It's been a really hard adjustment to be around a baby. He's going to be a really good dad someday."

4. They Want Different Things: A welcome to New York party is thrown in Kim and Kris' honor and they were really excited for it. Or at least Kim is. First, Kris gets annoyed that Kim is taking so long to get ready (he passed the time by cutting Scott's armpit hair). The tension remains when Kris says he doesn't want to stay at the party long, because he has to train early. When they arrive, he gets frustrated when he sees how long the pressline is and leaves Kim to do all the press. "It's so embarassing," Kim says. Later, when they're told it's time to cut their welcoming cake, Kris says, "You care about that. I don't give a f--k." A frustrated Kim says, "He's not even trying to compromise with me." Kris eventually ends the fight by saying, "I really do love you, though."


5. He Doesn't Like New York: In the beginning of the episode, Kris says he usually trains in Los Angeles or Minnesota and admits he's nervous about keeping up with his workouts in New York. "It's hard getting adjusted," he tells his friend Josh. "Everything in New York is screwing me up. I don't feel like I'm in my training element." After the naked yoga incident, Kris decided it's time to make a change. "I love you so much," he tells his wife before dropping the bomb: He's leaving New York to continue his training in Minnesota. "It's just too hard," he says. Kim admits she's sad, but says she'll support Kris' decisiomn because he's "really supportive" of her career and wants to do the same for him. "I should definitely be supportive of my husband." Before he leaves, Kris tucks her in bed like he did when they first started dating and tells Kim he loves her. 


What did you think of the episode? Do you think Kim and Kris were doomed from the start? Should Kris have stuck it out in New York? 

Meow! Salma Hayek's a Pretty Kitty in This Puss in Boots Style Poll

Happy Catsgiving! While America was busy celebrating Thanksgiving, Salma Hayek was out promoting Puss in Boots with a worldwide tour, going through four countries and five costume changes over the long weekend alone.


A quick recap of the designer duds before we ask for your favorite fashion pick...


Hayek, who voices Kitty Softpaws in the movie, opted for asymmetrical elegance at the Madrid premiere in a Bottega Veneta cocktail dress and Gucci shoes. She slipped into a three-piece suit and fedora at the U.K. premiere followed by a belted Balenciaga print dress with Giuseppe Zanotti heels at an Italian photo call before appearing at the Rome premiere in a little black Gucci halter dress.


Finally, she made her most fashion-forward appearance in Sydney on Sunday in a corseted white dress by Bottega Veneta and pumps by YSL. And all along, she kept the girls well covered. It is a kid's movie, after all.


So which PG-rated wardrobe pick is your favorite or do you think Salma should have stayed true to the curvy couture she usually wears on the red carpet?

Miley Cyrus Jokes "I'm a Stoner" in Birthday Video—and Kelly Osbourne Springs to Her Defense

Um, she's just being Miley?


Miley Cyrus joked about being a marijuana aficionado at her private 19th birthday bash last week, and found that she'd ruffled some feathers after a video of the event was picked up by The Daily. 


"It's all been taken out of context. The cake was a joke and Miley's response was intended to be sarcastic," Miley's spokeswoman tells E! News.


So what'd she say exactly?

After being presented a cake from pal Kelly Osbourne that looked like Bob Marley, Cyrus said, "This is amazing. You know you're a stoner when your friends make you a Bob Marley cake. You know you smoke way too much f--king weed."


Osbourne then grabbed the mic, quipping "I thought salvia was your problem, man," teasing the former Hannah Montana star about the notorious tape that surfaced of her celebrating her 18th birthday last year.


After news of Cyrus's latest birthday video hit the web though, and critical fans hit the Twitterverse, the Fashion Police host sprang to the starlet's defense.

Sister Wives Finale Recap: The Baby Arrives—and So Does a Shocking Offer!

Robyn Brown can't wait for her child on the Sister Wives' season finale: "It's getting really close to when I have the baby."


While we reported on Solomon's birth last month, tonight we actually got to see the moments and emotions leading up to it, including those of Kody Brown's first three wives, Meri, Christine and Janelle. What do they think about Robyn welcoming a new child into the family? (Hint: They're not all thrilled!) Oh, and Robyn made Meri a pretty huge offer, signifying just how close these two sister wives have become. 


So what went down before Solomon's birth?


MORE: Sister Wives Season-Finale First Look: Robyn and Meri Bond Over Baby Solomon!


The wives go out to lunch, which they say helps their friendships as they are living in different houses, and Robyn says she's nervous about how Kody feels about another child. Meri, Christine and Janelle reassure her about him. "Kody's great," Christine says. "You're going to be so relieved." Robyn tells them they're the reason Kody is so great. 


Christine makes a "peace offering" to Robyn because "my treatment of her has not been accepting and welcoming in the least," she explains. "Being jealous of her, what it really did, it made her feel like she wasn't welcome. That I didn't want her as a sister wife. I never meant that." Christine admits she's fearful that her children won't treat Robyn as their mother because of her actions. "I welcome Solomon as my son and I promise to be better," Christine says. Janelle admits she's not as excited as Christine for Solomon's arrival. "I am excited, but I probably won't get up in the middle of the night to see the baby," she admits. 


"It'll be fun to have Solomon, but it'll be very different than if it were my own," says Meri, who reveals she and Robyn have become very close. Meri says she always wanted a deep connection with a sister wife and never had it until Robyn came into the family. 


Two weeks overdue, Robyb is definitely ready to give birth (in her home, preferably on her bed!) to Solomon. On Oct. 25, around 10:15 p.m., Robyn gets her wish as she goes into labor. Meri comes over to say, "Good luck! Happy pushing!" After a couple of hours in labor, Kody and Robyn welcome their first child together. "I was impressed," Kody tells his fourth wife. "Here's our dream come true."


MORE: Sister Wives Recap: A Wild Night in Vegas! Plus, Wrestling!


Aside from the arrival of baby Solomon, the other Brown kids received some screentime as the issue of the move from Utah to Las Vegas was addressed, but the story soon returns to baby talk. And a huge surprise.


At the end of the episode, Robyn says she needs to talk to Meri alone, so she can say to her, "I want to know if you want me to be your surrogate." As most viewers know, Meri can't have children, so this is huge. "I know you're going to have to take some time to think about it, but I'm offering it whole-heartedly," Robyn says. All Meri can say is, "Wow!" Robyn admits she's been thinking about it ever since they met. Yes, we cried.

Model SueLyn Medeiros: Sex Tape Was STOLEN!!!


Model SueLyn Medeiros -- the hottest DUI arrestee of all time -- tells TMZ, the sex tape that just hit the Internet featuring her and her BF was jacked from her computer without permission ... and now, she's gearing up to sue.


She has no idea how it happened -- but SueLyn claims she has already contacted a lawyer, and plans to drop the legal hammer on the website that published the video.


SueLyn tells us, "I am very upset and angry with all this and the way it was released and what was said about me ... I am in a loving relationship, and me and my boyfriend took a few personal private videos doing things I'm sure every couple does."


She adds, "Someone stole these files from us ... My family is very upset and disappointed. My mother can't stop crying. I want justice."


Attempts to reach the people behind the site were unsuccessful.

'Rent Is Too Damn High' Guy Jimmy McMillan -- Facing Eviction


Jimmy McMillan
-- the infamous founder of the "Rent Is Too Damn High" party -- could soon lose his rent-controlled Manhattan apartment ... this according to a NYC judge.


It's all over a dispute with McMillan's landlord, who is now demanding to see financial documents to prove Jimmy's still actually living in the apartment -- because if he's not, it's a big problem.


According to the NY Post, Jimmy admitted after court ... he's temporarily living in another apartment in Brooklyn -- but only to give his son (who lives with him in Manhattan) a chance to put the charms on a lady ... if you know what we mean.


In Jimmy's words ... "I want a grandkid."


The judge has ordered Jimmy to hand over the docs ... or else.

Amare Stoudemire Buys New Home During NBA Lockout


Amare Stoudemire is not feeling the ill effects of the NBA lockout -- TMZ has learned the New York Knicks star just plunked down $3.7 million on a new house!

If only the NBA Players' Union was as shrewd at negotiating.

Green Bay Packer Erik Walden on Domestic Violence Charges


Just hours after his team was victorious on Thanksgiving day, Green Bay Packers linebacker Erik Walden was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence against his live-in girlfriend.


According to police, the incident occurred around 2:30 AM and cops were called a few hours later. Cops say the woman was treated at a local hospital for a cut and a bump on her head.


Walden was arrested and booked at around 8:00 AM -- but because courts are closed for the holiday weekend, Walden will remain in the Brown County Jail until Monday morning.


A rep for the Packers released a statement saying, "The Packers organization is aware of the situation involving Erik Walden. We are in the process of gathering more information and will refrain from making any further comment."

Lady Gaga Dress Designer: Butt Cheek Flashing Was a MISTAKE


Lady Gaga
’s super high-cut dress at the International Emmys Monday night in NYC was this close to exposing her little monster -- but TMZ has learned, it wasn’t made that way. 


A rep for the designer -- Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture in France -- tells us, the asymmetrical frock came straight off the catwalk ... meaning it was intended to be worn by a model much taller than Gaga.


According to the rep, “The slit came way further up her waist than what our designers had in mind."


Despite the wardrobe malfunction, Stéphane Rolland insists, “We’re not mad that the dress ended up looking like that on Gaga ... she does make it a little naughtier!”

New 'Twilight' Movie Reportedly Causing Seizures

Wedding Dress Guru Renee Strauss Has Bev Hills Shop Raided


A fancy schmancy Beverly Hills wedding dress shop -- owned by a reality show star -- doesn't have a lot for sale these days, because the Sheriff's deputies seized all the dresses!


Renee Strauss -- featured on TLC's "Brides of Beverly Hills" -- lost a lawsuit filed by some very unhappy, ex-employees.  Seems Renee blew off the judgment ... in excess of $500,000, which includes the winning side's attorney's fees.


Under California law, if a merchant doesn't pay a judgment, the Sheriff can do some western-style justice, in the form of seizing merchandise.  And that's exactly what the Sheriff did.


As for what was seized ... wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, headpieces and veils, tiaras, shoes, gloves, jewelry, garters and hankies. 


Those Sheriff's are gonna look mighty perty ... we kid -- the schmatas can eventually be sold to satisfy the judgment.


Calls to Renee were not returned.
