“I can’t wait to tell all my friends and family,” said a surprised and excited Chelsea. “I want to say thank you to all my friends and the fans who voted for me.”
Girls Gone Wild met Chelsea when she auditioned for Girls Gone Wild Magazine, and invited GGW camera crews to New Orleans to help her celebrate Mardi Gras.
She appeared on the magazine’s August 2010 cover, and will grace the cover of Girls Gone Wild Magazine’s September issue, which hits newsstands on August 18.
Brooke, an accomplished dancer, recently relocated to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. She has appeared on “NCIS Los Angeles” and has landed roles in three major movies.

“Let Vegetarianism Grow on You” says Lara Dutta, Bollywood star and ex-Miss Universe (2000), clad in nothing but lettuce leaves in a new PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) ad.
“Even seemingly small choices can have a big impact on our health, our community and the world around us”, the beautiful UNFPA Goodwill Ambassador said.
“Going vegetarian is one of the easiest ways to improve our health, help countless animals and protect the Earth,” Dutta added.
A statement on PETAIndia’s website said:
Why is leaving meat off your plate such a recipe for achievement? Vegetarian foods are naturally low in fat and cholesterol but high in nutrients, so you will never be weighed down when you need to be on the go.
And because vegetarian diets work well for long-term weight loss, it’s no surprise that vegetarians are generally leaner and trimmer than meat-eaters. Going vegetarian also reduces your risk for heart disease, diabetes, obesity and cancer.
The 32-year-old star shot for PETA wearing a Gavin Miguel dress made of lettuce leaves and other vegetables.

American songstress Lady Gaga recently teamed up with legendary artist and producer Dr. Dre and Monster, a leader in audio/video accessories, to launch Heartbeats by Lady Gaga, the latest addition to the hugely popular Beats by Dr. Dre headphone family from Monster.
Lady Gaga explains her motivation behind Heartbeats by Lady Gaga: “In the deepest hour of the night, I confess to myself three things; I would die if I was forbidden to write, forbidden to love, or forbidden to fashion. Heartbeats embody the trinity of my human-being, with one additional vow: that SOUND matters. Wear heartbeats, love each other, and celebrate the art and lifestyle of music.”
Wow. Well said. Wonder how well it will be heard. Pardon the pun.
Heartbeats by Lady Gaga are designed to give users a high-performance headphone option that literally doubles as a high-tech fashion accessory or attractive piece of jewelry, said a report.
They feature a multi-faceted, glossy surface and high-tech build materials, with a jewel-inspired earpiece cosmetic. The headphones are available in three separate versions, including a metal body with rose red jewel-shaped earpiece, metal body with all chrome jewel-shaped earpiece and black-on-black body and jewel-shaped earpiece design. The headphones are outfitted with a specially design stylish and tangle-free cable.
The new Heartbeats by Lady Gaga come in a red carrying case and an assortment of eartips designed for comfort and fit. They also feature Monster’s exclusive flat cable design that that integrates into the look and feel of HeartBeats, and also makes them ‘tangle-resistant’.
They will be available in October with different feature options in the price range of $99.95 to $149.95.

Everyone I know agrees that Jurassic Park, which made over a billion dollars at the box office worldwide, is one of the most fascinating Steven Spielberg movies. Everyone, that is, everyone except Jimmy. Now, why did Jimmy find it boring?
The scene is Clemson University, summer of 1993. On a bright Friday evening we set off to watch the movie with Jimmy, who I don’t remember seeing outside of a funky T-shirt. He looked as sharp and bright as the Peace logo on one of his Duff T-shirts. But just a few of us knew he was nearly as drunk as a Lord on beer, and fell asleep just as the movie got going.
Not quite the one to be put off, Jimmy so desperately wanted to see the movie that when he had to choose spending his funds between buying yet another one of his favorite Corona T-Shirts and the movie, he chose the latter. However, he still got drunk as a Kuda Brown on Bacardi and slept through the movie.
I then transferred to UCLA Berkeley and was still in touch with the Clemson from whom I found out that Jimmy had tried to see the movie again, but he had soaked himself in red wine, vodka and the Limoncello, and had barely woken up to the credits.
It wasn’t until a couple of years after graduation that I met him again, in 1996, while jogging in Central Park, NYC. I recognized him right away – he was still wearing the Peace logo on what must have been one of his many, many Miller t-shirts. After some small talk about college and ex-girlfriends, I wanted to know if he finally got to watch Jurassic Park.
And Jimmy said, “No way, dude. It’s so boring I fall asleep every time!”
