Actress Sarah Jessica Parker has made some daring fashion choices during her career (remember the crazy headpiece she donned in 2008?), and her latest look proves that the star still loves to take risks on the red carpet.
The 46-year-old actress attended the premiere of her movie I Don't Know How She Does It in a floor-length Giambattista Valli red strapless dress with a matching cape in Moscow, Russia on Sunday.
She accessorized the dramatic ensemble, which appeared to be a literal take on Little Red Riding Hood, with Fred Leighton jewels including large gold hoop earrings and a gold necklace.
The mother of three recently opened up to Vogue about balancing her busy life, admitting that she constantly frets over "the internal lists, the children's doctor's appointments, the letters to write, the school projects" -- not to mention her bustling acting career. "The thing that's most surprising to me is how much we do in a day," she said.
Elizabeth Blanks is Avery Jessup in the American television comedy, a part which has won her a best guest actress Emmy Award nomination this year. Her 30 Rock co-star Tina Fey is mentioned in the same category for her stint as host on Saturday Night Live and Gwyneth Paltrow is also vying for the gong. Elizabeth can’t believe she’s being considered for the prize and is adamant she stands no chance of winning.
“I’m completely relaxed. I honestly am really excited and really grateful to put ‘Emmy-nominated’ in my bio. If I can win someday, that would be great, but I don’t think it will be this time out. I love this character and I don't know if I'll ever get a better character. Maybe I'll never get a better chance but we'll see,” she told Parade.
“I can't win my category. [My character Avery Jessup] has great lines and she truly is an amazing character so I'm very grateful, but I don't think I can win.” Elizabeth appears in new movie Our Idiot Brother, where Paul Rudd plays a man who wreaks havoc on his sisters’ lives. She dyed her blonde locks brown for the part, something that made a big difference to her life. “Blondes [have more fun]. No one notices me if I’m a brunette, but they do take you more seriously and let you play doctors and lawyers,” she laughed. “It's totally scientific that the eye is drawn to light so when I walk around as a blonde, I just get noticed more than I do as a brunette. I find it really fascinating.”
Britney Spears has taught the world a thing or two about pop music over the span of her career, but what would the 29-year-old be doing if "...Baby One More Time" had never become a massive hit. "Raising my family. Being a mom," Brit told PopJustice.com, when asked about possible alternatives to being a pop star.
"[My life,] would probably pretty much be the same because I'm very strong in the way I raise my kids and stuff, so it would probably be pretty much the same, but career-wise I'd probably be a teacher. I love kids and even in what I do now one of my favorite parts of my day is getting to meet my fans before the show. Especially the little ones. They are always so cute," she continued.
The mother of two said while touring she sticks to a strict routine.
"On tour, I usually get up in the morning and I work out, and I spend time with my kids, and then it'll be time to go to the venue, and I have catering, eat dinner then get ready for the show," she explained.
And despite singing about being at the club, Brit said she won't usually be found in them - expect the one in her own house. "I never go to the club, but I think it's fun to sing about it. And I have my own mini club at my house," she revealed. "And I play a lot of music there... it has a glitterball and we have catering and lights. It's the whole setup."
Britney, who is nominated for two MTV VMAs, will be honored on Sunday with a tribute.
Charlie's Angels star and Friday Night Lights alum Minka Kelly and baseball superstar Derek Jeter are no longer an item, her rep tells People.
Minka Kelly named Esquire's sexiest woman alive.
"They care about each other and it was amicable," says another source. "They're still friends."
The couple dated for three years. During that time, they were notoriously private and, at one point in 2010, rumored to marry.
Just last month, she was there to cheer him on when he joined Major League Baseball's 3,000-hit club, which was chronicled in the HBO special Derek Jeter 3K.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are expecting their third child.Reps for the 39-year-old actors confirmed the news to the Associated Press on Monday.
According to the AP, the couple is "thrilled" over the news.Ben and Jen who married in 2005, have two children - Violet, now 5, and Seraphina, 2.
Jennifer has spoken before about her joy over being a mom, telling Parents magazine in 2009 that it opened her heart.
"The best part of being a mom is the kid herself -- that you get to have this little person be your friend and hang out with you (and drive you crazy!)," she told the mag at the time. "Obviously your life changes and your heart expands, and it's something you can't even put into words without sounding incredibly sentimental and cliched -- both of which I am! But what it really is, is this new being is there, which is just the most fun ever."
While pregnant with Seraphina, Jennifer said she used it as an excuse to enjoy more sweets.
"I always have cravings," she also told Parents magazine. "It doesn't matter if I'm pregnant or not! I use pregnancy as an excuse to say I'm craving ice cream and chocolate, but really, that's just me." Jennifer spent this past weekend promoting her new film -- "The Odd Life of Timothy Green," co-starring "Warrior's" Joel Edgerton at Disney's D23 Expo in Anaheim, Calfornia.
Megan Fox has revealed she is removing her Marilyn Monroe tattoo because she feels it has "negative energy". The 25-year-old actress has confirmed speculation she is having the portrait of the troubled Hollywood icon lasered off her right forearm.
Megan told Italian fashion magazine Amica: "I'm removing it. She was a negative person, she was disturbed, bipolar. I do not want to attract this kind of negative energy in my life." The Transformers star - who has over nine tattoos including a quote in honour of her Passion Play co-star Mickey Rourke on her ribcage, a quote on her shoulder and a tribal symbol on her left wrist - is even considering more tattoo removal. She added: "Who knows, maybe I'll remove the others too, but the laser hurts." Megan also told the magazine why she had chosen to remove her naval piercing. She said: "I did it when I was 16-years-old because I was a fan of Britney Spears The only time I tried to imitate someone else. But then I thought it was tacky and so I removed it when I turned 20."
Teen diva Selena Gomez is going to work the “black carpet” at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards from a different angle: as a celebrity host.
MTV issued a press release Friday announcing that Gomez will “be reporting breaking news and interviewing her peers alongside MTV News correspondents Sway, Jim Cantiello and James Montgomery.” (In case you’re wondering, there is always a ton of breaking news on the black carpet at the VMAs.)
Selena Gomez is quite excited.
“After all of my years watching the VMA’s, the pre-show has always been one of my favorite parts,” she says in the press release.
Hey, who knows? Maybe she’ll be good at this and can eventually work her way up to asking questions on the Golden Globe red carpet for E!
At the very least, she’ll most certainly have some hard-hitting questions to ask Justin Bieber during the VMAs on Aug. 28.
Actress Salma Hayek. When it comes to the subject of her breasts, she's certainly ready to talk about them.
In the upcoming issue of Allure, the curvy Latina explains her upper half is not as good as it was 10 years ago. We should all have such problems.
"They're not bad ... I'm not complaining about them," the 44-year-old actress says.
This isn't the first time she's spoken up about what's up top. In a 2007 interview, Hayek explains that they were actually an act of God.
During a vacation in her native Mexico with her mother, Hayek said the two stopped at a church. That's when The Almighty stepped in.
"When we went inside, I prayed for the miracle I wanted to happen. I put my hands in holy water and said: 'Please God, give me some breasts,'" Hayek said. "And he gave me them!"
the Oscar-nominated actress also seems to like being the wife of a multi-billionaire,businessman François-Henri Pinault.
"I never understood the point of being privileged if you don't get to have the privileges," she says
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony split after failing to "see eye-to-eye" on Scientology.
The On The Floor hitmaker - who called time on her seven-year marriage to the singer last month - was reportedly hoping to send the couple's three-year-old twins Max and Emme to a specialist Scientology school, however Marc wasn't so keen on the idea.
A source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "Jennifer and Marc couldn't see eye-to-eye on the subject. She's always been more into the church than him. He wasn't a huge fan and it caused problems."
The 42-year-old star recently admitted she wished people wouldn't judge the Scientology religion - also followed by Jennifer's close friends Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes - before they know what it is.
She said: "I just wish that people wouldn't judge it without knowing what it is."
Despite the couple's shock split, Jennifer claimed she will remain an "eternal optimist", and is still confident about finding love again.
She recently explained: "This was the hardest decision I've ever had to face. I really wanted this family to work. That was my biggest dream, and I worked hard at it. We both did. Sometimes it doesn't work - and that's sad. But I remain an eternal optimist about love. I believe in love...It's still my biggest dream."
Award winning actress Nicole Kidman has had quite the summer.
In addition to going peroxide blonde for her part in the upcoming thriller Paperboy, the 44-year-old Moulin Rouge star has been cast in the lead role for another spine-chiller – Stoker.
Stoker, a Park Chan-Wook directed film slated for release sometime in 2012, tells the story of an eccentric teen, India, whose enigmatic and estranged uncle returns to the family following the death of the girl’s father.
When people mysteriously start to go missing in her hometown at the same time, India begins to believe that her uncle may be the cause.
According to Indiewire, Kidman is set to play the role of the little girl’s mother and will be joined by a heavy hitting array of talent including Matthew Goode, Jacki Weaver, Lucas Till, and Mia Wasikowska.
While very few details are known about the film, we can expect that Chan-Wook – whose other films such as Oldboy and Thirst are famous for their immaculate framing, brutal subject matter, and epic twists – has more than a few surprises up his sleeve.
