Petite Mary-Kate Olsen likes everything supersized, which is why she was spotted carrying two large bags as she was leaving her apartment recently.


One was a Balenciaga men’s duffle bag and the other a Proenza Schouler PS1 leather satchel.

The mini mogul can take the title of being the first to wear a look from Prabal Gurung’s Fall 2010 collection.

She wore a black and red drop shoulder cashmere wrap coat, but she opted out of styling her look like the runway.

She paired her look with Giuseppe Zanotti peep-toe canvas boots.

Gurung wakes up this morning as a CFDA nominee for Womenswear.

Fingers crossed he takes home the prize on June 7.

Zoe Saldana was in the Dominican Republic for the “International Casandra Awards” last night.

Her father is from the Dominican Republic, so like Freida Pinto returning to Mumbai, this was a homecoming return for Zoe who lived there for 7 years.

The event was held at the National Theater in Santo Domingo where Zoe accepted her award for “Most Outstanding Artist Abroad Award”.

She looked stunning wearing an Amanda Wakeley Spring 2010 gown with an asymmetrical neckline.

Her cinnamon ombre draped gown was accented with a cocoa two-prong belt tied to her waist.

I love her look. Her gown has a sari-type feel to it due to the way it’s draped.

She kept her look effortless with a few bracelets and a wooden gold trimmed clutch.


The actress accepted her award speaking in Spanish.

Ever since 'The Wendy Williams Show' first debuted last summer, regular joes and celebrities alike have kicked off each episode by asking the eponymous star, "How you doin'?" Now we know the answer: pretty darn good.

That's because, according to the Hollywood Reporter, 'The Wendy Williams Show' has been renewed -- again. The daytime talk show, which was previously renewed by Fox's owned and operated stations through 2012, has now been picked up by 18 of the 20 major markets, including affiliates owned by Lin, Tribune, Local TV, Sinclair, Raycom and Granite.

'The Wendy Williams Show,' which is also carried on BET by most major cable providers, originally spun out of host Wendy Williams' long-running New York radio show, which ran for eight years before Williams stepped down to focus on her television career.

A film based on her life, 'Queen of Media' starring Robin Givens, is slated to be released later this year.

Here's Williams showing the world how to properly ask the key question, "How you doin'?"

and he's trying to kill me... by putting them in my mouth

It was pretty bold of Warner Bros. to show off as much of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as they did, given that much of the effects work was unfinished and a major character-- Ralph Fiennes' noseless Voldemort-- had dots on his face marking the future digital alteration that really makes him who he is. But they weren't just bold in what they showed us, but how they did it-- the first scene of the extended trailer was Harry and Voldemort's confrontation in the woods outside Hogwarts. Harry, bloodied and visibly terrified, approaches a cold Voldemort (flanked by Bellatrix Lestrange); Voldemort taunts Harry, "The boy who lived, come to die."

The footage shown came from all sections of The Deathly Hallows, so it's impossible to tell where they will split up the two movies. We saw little bits of everything, from the seven Harry Potters escaping from the Dursleys house (totally surreal) to the attack at Bill and Fleur's wedding to the escape from Gringotts on the pale dragon and even Hogwarts on fire. With unfinished effects it's hard to really say how it all looks, though some of the most effective moments were the simplest-- Ron and Harry's fight in the tent, Harry visiting his parents' graves, running away from the Snatchers in the woods, Harry defiantly telling Voldemort that he stays alive "because I have something worth fighting for."

Basically, it's hugely exciting for anyone who's a fan of the book-- but that's been the case for every Harry Potter trailer and sneak peek thus far, so why should we have expected anything different. The cool, smoky cinematography that really marked Half-Blood Prince seems to be continuing in this one, and the newfound acting skills we saw in many of the young actors will likely be coming in handy. There was no sign of some of the key characters, like Draco Malfoy and Professor McGonagall, but I expect just as much good stuff from them too.

One odd moment-- one of the final shots was of Hermione riding a broom, by herself, escaping from a fireball that's likely the curse that Crabbe and Goyle set off in the Room of Requirement near the end. Did Hermione ever ride a broom by herself in the books? Is this a change that will mean something bigger, or just something convenient so the movie doesn't have to bother explaining that Hermione isn't good on a broom? It's the kind of nitpick that only the geekiest Harry Potter fans will ever care about-- but that's what you have me for, isn't it?



ETA: Some more info from Collider

For the final part of the presentation, Alan Horn gave everyone a special treat as he premiered a ton of footage from the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. He started off by telling everyone that the footage was very raw and unfinished and he wasn’t exaggerating. The footage started with Voldemort walking in the forest with all of his followers around him. He was looking for Harry. While I assumed the footage was going to be just from the first Harry Potter movie coming this November, I think the opening was from part 2 and it was from the big climatic battle between Harry and Voldemort! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

So we see Harry coming towards Voldemort partly beat up and with a look of nervousness. It was then we cut away…

The thing to know is the footage was very rough. All over Ralph Fiennes face were blue dots so they could take away his nose in post production. It was incredibly cool to see.

I’d say in total the footage was 4-7 minutes but I could be off. Other bits of footage were Harry, Ron and Hermione in the forest fighting as Ron tells Harry that since he already lost his family his pain isn’t as important (or something like that). We also saw tons of pre-viz mixed in with shot footage like Harry flying with Hagrid and Voldemort chasing him with other Death Eaters. I also saw a scene of all the Harry’s from the beginning of the book. Other bits were the kids in London walking around, Bill Nighy as Rufus Scrimgeour, Harry and Ginny kissing, and so much more. Some of the footage looked like done and some was very rough. The only thing I knew for certain after watching the footage was the movie is going to be amazing and I am so happy the last book is in two parts.

The trailer ended with the info of when the movies are getting released and how they’re both in 3D. Which is awesome.


Holy shit, am I excited for these films you have no idea, but at the same time, it's so freaking depressing knowing the series is coming to a close now.

( Gossip Girl here )

In her first regular broadcast series gig, actress-singer Ashley Tisdale has signed on to co-star on the CW pilot “Hellcats.”


“Hellcats,” which is executive produced by “Smallville” star Tom Welling, centers on Marti (Aly Michalka), a college girl from the wrong side of the tracks who, after losing her scholarship because of budget cutbacks and her mother’s (Gail O’Grady) chronic irresponsibility, joins the Hellcats, the college’s competitive cheerleading team.

“High School Musical” alumna Tisdale will play Sierra, the peppy and fiercely intense captain of the Hellcats who, after an initial clash with Marti, her new roommate, realizes that she just might be the godsend the Hellcats need to win the championship.

Like Michalka, who starred on Disney Channel’s “Phil of the Future,” Tisdale has also become a star on Disney Channel.

In addition to her role as Sharpay Evans in the “HSM” franchise, she also co-starred on the channel’s comedy “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody” and voiced a character on “Phineas and Ferb.”

On broadcast TV, she did an arc on the CBS sitcom “Still Standing.”

"Avatar" actor Sam Worthington made a subtle style statement on the Oscars red carpet, sporting a Brioni tux with Payless shoes. He told the AP his budget shoes were "comfortable, and the ones they gave me made me look like a goblin." Although Worthington didn't give specifics on the make or model, a Payless rep told Footwear News that Worthington wore the Dexter Pembroke:

Ideal for the office or that special event, this classic Dexter oxford features a burnished faux leather upper, a sleek round toe, genuine leather and breathable Drylex lining and a padded insole for comfort. Leather and manmade materials.

The shoe is already sold out in most sizes. Coincidence? Or new trend?

This of course happened a few weeks ago but I was waiting for an actually article and not someone's twitter about their NOPD cop friend being called out to the house. Also this is looking like to be a grand old season of Real World.

Joining in on the ShoWest 2010 festivities, the stars of "Sex and the City" turned up at Paris Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada on Thursday afternoon (March 18).

With Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis all on-hand, the trio of ladies smiled hit up a Warner Bros. Pictures' 'Big Picture 2010' event as they ready to collect a Best Ensemble award.

Meanwhile, the gals are all getting ready for the May 27 release of their hit movie's sequel - which is directed by Michael Patrick King.

Of the amazing popularity that "Sex and the City" has garnered, Miss Nixon recently told Variety that "people have just grown very fond of the characters, the wit of the writing and the glamour and the fashion and all that."

She adds, "One of the things that has kept it so strong is that (writer-director) Michael Patrick King doesn't try to take us through the same thing because it worked so well the last time. If we stayed the same, going out and drinking and having sex, we would turn into 'Absolutely Fabulous,' which is not what we are. He has allowed us to age, and the audience has allowed us to come along for the ride."

In Date Night, a comedy in theaters April 9, Tina Fey and Steve Carell play a married couple with kids whose rare romantic evening on the town goes haywire thanks to an epic case of mistaken identity. Instead of sipping fine wine and strolling through Central Park, they flee dirty cops, seek help from a pathologically shirtless weapons expert (played by Mark Wahlberg), and attempt a comically inept routine at a strip club. Naturally, then, one of the first questions we asked the costars was what would happen if their hapless small-screen alter egos, 30 Rock’s Liz Lemon and The Office’s Michael Scott, went on a date of their own. Here’s what they said:

Tina Fey: Oh, Liz Lemon would f— it up. Michael Scott would probably be very open, but Liz Lemon would be sour and judgmental and she’d blow it. [Laughs]
Steve Carell: Blow it? With Michael? I don’t think there’s any way she would agree to go out with Michael Scott unless she had been tricked into it. I don’t think you go from Jon Hamm to Michael Scott. Michael Scott should be so lucky.
TF: We should just say, “That’s the series finale this year!”
SC: “We’re planning a little cross-pollination. There’s a tornado, and we all have to huddle somewhere between New York City and Scranton! It makes complete sense!” [Shakes his head.] No way.
TF: It would be so bad. It’s not gonna happen.

Bummer, right? But a fan can dream.

Will These Pills Give You the Libido Of A Jonas Brother?

Recently married 22-year-old Kevin Jonas appears (unknowingly, we're sure) with wife Danielle Deleasa in this amazingly hilarious Spanish-language ad for Libidus, a Viagra knockoff of some sort. So for the raw, unbridled sexual prowess of a guy who was still wearing a purity ring mere months ago, this is THE sexual enhancement option for you!

The ad translates to:

"100% aphrodisiacs. If you have problems with your sexual life or if you want to try something new...Stimulate your energy."

So what does the JoBros camp have to say about this?? A spokesperson for Kevin says,

"This ad is not authorized. It is either a fake or an illegal use of our image. We are currently investigating this matter and have referred it to our lawyers for appropriate legal action."

So, important question, would you take a sexual stimulant endorsed by the Jonas Brothers??
