Now, when I said she looked like a box of popcorn, obviously I meant the fat-free variety.  The very bony Nicky Hilton attended the 14th Annual Los Angeles Antiques Show opening last night, appearing in desperate need of a calorie.

Nick Lachey was also there with girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo.  Does this put to rest the rumors that she was hanging all over 90210 actor Matt Lanter the night before?  I say “NO!” based on the couple’s body language.  Nothing says “impending breakup” like a jaw clamped shut as tightly as Miley Cyrus’ kneecaps.

“Actress” Shiva Rose was there.  I consider this woman about one step away from a miracle worker.  Not only did she manage to stay married in Hollywood (to Dylan McDermott) for more than a decade before her marriage imploded, she divorced with…wait for it…no lawyers on either side.  Amazing!

Hilary Swank appeared with her agent and boyfriend John Campisi.  I’m sorry, but he looks like Chad Lowe.  Doesn’t he?  Oh, the soft spot she has for a receding hairline, large forehead and weak chin.

Finally, Chris Klein was there.  Boy, he looks so familiar.  It’s almost like there’s someone in Hollywood who has that same face.  Who could it be? *cough*SuriCruise*cough*

Chad Lowe, who was divorced from Oscar-winner Hilary Swank in 2007, is having a baby with his new girlfriend, producer Kim Painter. She’s due in early summer.

Babies are the new black!

Last year, Lowe said that his relationship with Kim and his gig on 24 helped him get through “a very dark period” after his split from Hilary.

Do you think Hil’s pissed about this?

When is she gonna get preggers?

The super-svelte Hilary Swank is reportedly going to put on between 20 and 30 pounds to play the lead in French Women Don’t Get Fat, an upcoming film based on a bestselling novel. Hilary’s also a producer on the film.

You’ve already won two Oscars, Hilary. Why on earth do you think you need to get fat for a role now? We take your acting prowess seriously, sweetheart.

Hilary Swank does the January cover of W magazine.

The interview promises to be boring as hell. She talks a little about her relationship with her (formerly married) agent — “Of course I’m in love. Or I wouldn’t be in this relationship for as long as I’ve been.” — but beyond that there’s nothing particularly juicy. Some more tidbits are after the jump if you care.
