PHOTOS! Here are pictures of Catherine de Castelbajac whose son Count Louis-Marie de Castelbajac is dating Dita Von Teese claims reports. Guillaume de Castelbajac is Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and Catherine’s other son recently profiled on the LA Times.

Here’s the LALATE rundown.

Catherine lists her bio on Pepperdine University’s website as follows:

Catherine de Castelbajac, President of Image Advantage Consultants is a corporate trainer and personal image consultant. Catherine is an active member of the Association of Image Consultants International, (AICI), Fashion Group International, (FGI), and NAWBA, National Association of Women’s Business Owners. She has a BA from Columbia University in English Literature, and an MBA from Simmons Graduate School of Management. She has been professionally trained and certified by the IIIC, the International Institute for Image Communications.

She’s authored for Pepperdine an article about power lunches:

You’ve applied for your dream job, researched the company and its corporate culture, prepared your resume, elevator speech, and list of questions in advance. The interviewer calls to set up the first appointment—over lunch at a fashionable restaurant! PANIC! Do you have impeccable table manners? Do you know how to conduct yourself during a business meal? Are you capable of making conversation as well as interviewing for the job?

Now today FOX is claiming Dita is dating Catherine’s son with Jean-Charles de Castelbajac named Louis-Marie.

The ex-Mrs. Marilyn Manson, 36, is dating Count Louis-Marie de Castelbajac, 25, the actor-son of fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and his stunning ex-wife Catherine de Castelbajac, who dated Bill Koch and the late Ron Silver.

Catherine has another son Guillaume de Castelbajac whose clothing line was reported on in the LA Times: Fruit of a Revolution.

Guillaume de Castelbajac (Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s son) sat across the table from me. He’s adorable, a graduate of Art Center in Pasadena, and recently started his own T-shirt line called Fruit of a Revolution.

PHOTOS! Here are pictures of Kirstie Alley’s weight gain. Kirstie Alley’s weight gain is Oprah’s April 30 topic. Alley lost 75 lbs with Jenny Craig in 2005 and kept the weight off by 2006. In 2008, Alley was replaced by Valerie Bertinelli. Now Alley is huge again. She joins Oprah to discuss what went wrong.

In February 2008, LALATE reported about how Alley announced the launch of her own weight loss company called ASK KIRSTIE.

“As for me, I am from the school of “you may not be able to reinvent the wheel but you can sure try to better it,” which has proven to be a very successful attitude for Michelin tires.

“I had not intended to make this announcement at this time, but after an online PEOPLE magazine article ran last Friday, announcing that I had stepped down as Jenny’s spokesperson, I found myself bombarded with inquiries from the media and fans. So I guess it’s as good of a time as any to announce that I intend to develop and pilot my own weight-loss brand that I hope to launch in 2009.

“The weight-loss field is wide open and not immune to new ideas and improved solutions for the fat problems that plague many of us Americans every day. I want to create something new that will help millions of people end the seemingly never ending fatty-roller coaster ride. I am especially passionate about seeing to it that our next generations are not struggling with the same weight issues that my generation has struggled with.

“There was a time when America was not fat, and that was in our not-so-distant past. I’m confident that I can create something exciting and innovative: something that if all goes well, will help change a fat America back into a fit America and will offer this country the healthiest, yummiest, easiest and most effective weight-loss program on the market.

“If not, I’ll see you at Central Casting.

“Oh, but hey, don’t “Call Kirstie” just yet. You’ll be on hold too long. Call me next year. “

Yes, and now one year later Oprah is calling … to discuss Kirstie’s weight gain.

The Hills Season 6 – out Lauren Conrad, in Kristin Cavallari and Audrina Patridge? The Hills Season 6 confirmed yesterday only one surprise – that Audrina Patridge is back despite initial reports she would leave after Season 5 for her own reality show with Mark Burnett.

MTV says also “fresh faces” will join.

But now chatter bugs say one new face could be (drumroll) Kristin Cavallari! Kristin Cavallari was spotted at the Speidi wedding last weekend, an appearance which many insiders believe served a functional purpose in the show’s storyline for season 6.

Kristin Cavallari took over for Laguna Beach after Lauren headed to college. She also formerly dated Brody Jenner who is also signed on for the new season. Kristen was equally chattered to join The Hills for Season 4 in 2007.

No confirmation from Kristin Cavallari or MTV to the reports.
