Any America's Next Top Model fans out there? Whitney Thomspon, last season's winner of ANTM, was spotted in West Village posing for a photo shoot. She looks adorable in that outfit and I love that she is a normal-sized girl and still able to make it as a model. She proves that size has nothing to do with beauty. I love it!

New reports are claiming that Isabel Lucas was in the car with Shia Labeouf when the actor got into an accident that caused his car to turn over. The 23 year old actress is working with Shia on Transformers 2.

Originally from Australia, it seems Transformers is her US breakthrough role. Thank goodness she wasn't injured. Quite stunning isn't she?

I mentioned on this site that last week I attended a cooking demonstration with Katie Lee Joel. She was as sweet as can BE! While preparing the food and signing her cookbooks, these are the quotes I was able to write down on my blackberry.

---

Did you gain any weight while testing out recipes for your new cookbook?

I did. I gained 8 pounds. In order to take it off, I started to take spinning and yoga. I also was good Monday through Friday and eased up on the weekends.

A woman in the audience said she saw Billy Joel riding his bike in South Beach. Katie said that riding is one of his favorite things to do. Bill (not Billy) always says,

I love watching people look at my bike in South Beach.

I thought that was funny that she admitted that to us. Katie said her husband is a big fan of "showing off his little toy".

I then asked if she was interested in getting her own cooking show since she already spent some time on the small screen filming Top Chef.

I think it would be fun to do a food show. Something where friends come over.

Someone shouted out, "Like Ina?" where Katie began to gush over the Barefoot Contessa.

I love Ina. I've never met her although I'm always on the look out for her in East Hampton.

Does Billy Joel cook?

I let him in the kitchen sometimes. Sometimes he gets ahead of himself, but he makes this great skirt steak marinade! It's in the cookbook!

For a while Billy wouldn't tell her his secret for the marinade and after she begged to be part of the cookbook, he had to fess up. Anchovy paste!! Can you believe that?!

Katie also admitted that Billy makes "great spaghetti bolognase and salad". It's not always restaurant quality with Billy. He's a leftover kind of guy.

Sometimes he thinks that combining ingredient together plus olive oil is cooking. He would kill me if he knew I was telling you! So for example, he'll throw together pasta and left over Chinese food with some olive oil and call it a night."

What are your favorite meals to make?

During July and August, my peach cobbler is the most popular recipe in the Joel household. I only make it when the peaches are the ripest and in season. I actually went yesterday and bought a bunch at the farm stand in Sagaponack.

Favorite meal to cook?

Depends on the time of year. I like to make braised meat that falls apart during the winter. Or pot roast and short ribs with thick gravy. But if I had to pick one meal it would have to be biscuits because of the memories associated with it.

The Sun is reporting that Amy Winehouse was taken to the "accident and emergency" section of a London hospital. Oh no!! We all saw that she had a rough night last night. I hope she personally didn't do anything to cause herself damage.

We were called at approximately 8.40pm to an address in NW1 to reports of an adult female taken unwell.  We sent an ambulance and a fast response car and the patient has been taken to hospital.

No further details are available at the moment. I'm wishing her well.

Update: Amy suffered from a reaction to medicine.

"Amy Winehouse suffered a reaction to medication at home this evening and was taken to the hospital," her rep explained Monday. "Doctors have advised that she will be kept under observation overnight and is likely to be released tomorrow."

UPDATE 2: WENN had the following information available online.

AMY WINEHOUSE has been rushed to hospital following a "crazy scene" at her London home. The troubled singer was hidden by a red blanket and transported to a waiting ambulance by wheelchair. Police arrived at the scene and helped the singer's frantic father Mitch block the view of awaiting paparazzi with a sheet, to prevent the hoardes of snappers from getting a shot of the ailing star.

Elegy stars Oscar®-nominee Penélope Cruz and Academy Award®-winner Ben Kingsley, with extraordinary supporting performances from Dennis Hopper, Patricia Clarkson and Peter Sarsgaard.

ELEGY is based on Pulitzer Prize-winner Philip Roth’s short novel The Dying Animal. Driven by Isabel Coixet’s visually assured and deeply observant direction, The movie charts the passionate relationship between a celebrated college professor and a young woman whose beauty both ravishes and destabilizes him. As their intimate connection transforms them—more than either could imagine—a charged sexual contest evolves into an indelible love story. With humanistic warmth, wry wit and erotic intensity, ELEGY explores the power of beauty to blind, to reveal and to transform.
