Kristen Stewart Covers Vanity Fair

2012-06-06T14:44:00.001-07:00

I have to say this has to be Kristen Stewart's most elegant looking cover. I personally fancy her ElleUK cover shot from back in 2010 but Vanity Fair does come close.

The shoot screams couture and having Paris as the backdrop just adds more beauty to the entire layout. Photographed by Mario Testino, you can see Stewart in various styles of dress that have nothing to do with jeans, t-shirts, or Chucks (here real life preference of attire).

The magazine even managed to garner a quote or two from Stewart's real life boyfriend and Twilight co-star, Robert Pattinson. Pattinson goes on the defense, telling VF that with all the pictures that are taken of a smiling Kristen, the shot of her not smiling will be the one singled out.

And he's right. I can go on how many blogs and thumb through pages in a magazine and people talk about how Stewart isn't smiling or doesn't look happy. Hey, she smiles. And giggles. Look a little closer, peeps.

Vanity Fair hits newsstands nationwide on June 12, but certain cities have gotten their hands on copies already.

The real question is....when will Rob and Kristen grace us with another cover? Their Harpers Bazaar back in 2009 was the magazine's best selling issue that year. They should end the Twilight Saga series (the last installment, Breaking Dawn Part II is out in November) with a good 'ole spread.

2012 MTV Movie Awards - They Were There Because...

2012-06-04T09:34:00.000-07:00

Okay, so there was Emma Stone, Christan Bale, Mark Wahlberg, Andrew Garfield, Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Mila Kunis, Chris Hemsworth, Channing Tatum and more movie stars gracing our television screens last night @ the MTV Movie Awards.

Then there were the "celebrities" that showed up and kinda made you scratch your head.

Like this guy --------------->

Jean Claude Van Damme? Last thing I saw him in was eons ago when he made a cameo appearance on "Friends!"

He may have a film coming out, who knows, I didn't bother inquiring.

Speaking of "Friends", Jennifer Aniston was there to collect her award for Best OnScreen Dirtbag for her role on Horrible Bosses. She clearly didn't stay for the show as her award was given out first. There was no mingling with other celebrities and she wasn't shown on camera @ any time after.

Julianne Hough showed up in midriff and posed on the red carpet. She didn't present or anything. Just came to show her face since Rock of Ages is coming out. I wonder if she thought that helped with movie goers. I don't think so and just wish that she'd go back to Dancing With The Stars. She ruled over there.

Of course Paris Hilton showed up because a party is a party!

And then this guy! JC Chasez! He has a really good voice, too. A shame it didn't work out going solo.

Huh?

What was more entertainng was the backstage and patio footage MTV had going on. There were cameras set up in back and you were able to see some of the stars chilling out and conversing with one another. Charlize Theron was backstage practically the entire time. She was seen chopping it up with Prometheus co-star, Michael Fassbender and her Snow White & The Huntsman chums, Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth. Jodie Foster came @ the end to present the Best Movie, which of course went to The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. It was funny to see Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield holding hands and then realize there was a camera right behind them on the patio.They slyly detached fingers but kept in close proximity. I hope MTV does the same next year with that. And boo to the fact the there was no opening movie montage or skit.

Pop Up Snow White & The Huntsman

2012-06-03T11:03:00.001-07:00

So I went to check out the Pop Up Showcase featuring Snow White & The Huntsman yesterday afternoon. And it was pretty cool. There were some concept art and various prints that were hung up for viewing, as well as the costumes of Snow White & The Huntsman (played by Kristen Stewart & Chris Hemsworth)!

What's also great is that you are given the opportunity to design your very own SWATH T-shirt @ no charge. You can pick one up for yourself and a friend or two or three ;)

Below are just some of the pieces of concept art that are being displayed.

The Pop Up Store has been open every Saturday and Sunday for the last three weekends. Today is actually the last day and they're open from 11am - 4pm. They're located @ 7710 Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood. If you're in the area, maybe you can swing by and take a look and grab yourself a free shirt. You can slip it on and then catch a showing of Snow White & The Huntsman, which opened @ #1 this weekend @ the box office. Then later on tonight, you can see the SWATH stars @ the MTV Movie Awards, which starts @ 9:00pm. Stewart and Hemsworth will be presenting as well as co-star Charlize Theron (though she will be there to represent her other movie, Prometheus with Michael Fassbender).

Facts of Life's "Natalie Green".....and Brangelina?

2012-06-02T15:01:00.002-07:00

"Watch What Happens Live" with Andy Cohen on Bravo is quite entertaining.

Two of Cohen's guests on Thursday's show were Mindy Cohn and Kim Fields. Cohn and Fields starred together on the 80's sitcom, "Facts of Life." Before I go on, I have to say that show was probably one of my most favorite programs EVER! Wednesday nights, baby!

They discussed certain topics, such as George Clooney's recurring role and which charcter lost their virginity first (it was Cohn's charcter, Natalie). But what I found fascinating was there has been this long standing rumor that Mindy Cohn is very good friends with none other than celebrity couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie! WHOA! I have never heard that one before! Although, I do admit to be slacking on my celeb pop culture.

What is also being long rumored is that Cohn is the godmother to the couple's six children. Double WOAH! When asked about that, Cohn "pleaded the fifth" during the segment were the guests are given three questions and have to answer two.

How did that combination come about? I sincerely want to know.

Why So Many Cancellations?

2012-05-18T08:09:00.000-07:00

Ringer

The list of canceled television shows for the season read like the list of its initial fall lineup! It happens every year of course, but networks do need to roll so many programs out so they can find THE ONE.

"Ringer", starring Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sarah Michelle Geller, didn't make the cut. I watched the first few episodes and I am one of the viewers where (my) interest did not uphold.

Same with "Pan Am." I loved the premise and the throwback to that era (not to mention the Pan Am traveling bag!), but it could not keep me. I can't figure out why.

Pan Am

Now I know I love me some Josh Lucas, but how long did "The Firm" last? Before I had the chance to figure out when it aired & settle down, I think it was yanked.

The Firm

The only show that captured my interest and has remained a staple in my viewing schedule is "Once Upon A Time." It may be hard to follow with "two different worlds", but you just end up getting it. The actors fit the characters they play and the storylines don't lag. I dig Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Morrison's "mother/daughter" dynamic. I was thrilled that it was renewed for next season.

And I have no idea why my "Desperate Housewives" interest picked up this final season. Maybe because it was that; their last year. I enjoyed it though and it was time for the series to come to a close. I noticed Marc Cherry's cameo as one of Susan's movers all on my own!

I'm just a viewer. My opinions (or lack of) are purely my own, of course.

Snow White & The Huntsman Cast in Berlin

2012-05-16T07:55:00.000-07:00

A fan event took place today in Berlin where Snow White & The Huntsman cast members, Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Sam Claflin, and director Rupert Sanders greeted people and signed autographs. The Huntsman himself, Chris Hemsworth was not in attendance.

The film's world premiere took place in London on Monday, May 14th and Charlize and Kristen's next promo stop will be in Madrid on Thursday, May 17th.

Snow White & The Huntsman opens on June 1st.

Kanye and Kim

2012-05-15T20:05:00.000-07:00

So I don't understand how these two winded up together but the press is sure eating it up. And it's been recently announced that Mr. West will be making some sort of appearance on Kardashian's reality series.

Let's hope they're still together by the time his guest spot airs...

Let's Try This Again in 2012

2012-04-11T19:33:00.003-07:00

Okay, so I've decided to ramble here and there once again. I gots the urge right now. Will it last?! *shrugs* Who knows.....It's been like 3 years maybe since my last post. So much has gone on. I'm not as into Gossip Girl as I once was and can barely keep up with television and movies as it is. I try though and my love for pop culture remains intact. I read a lot now. What I read though may not be suitable for everybody. So we'll see where this goes. I wanna stick to my old format. I'm not one for a lot of change.

This Is Still My OR!

2009-02-25T11:46:00.000-08:00

Dude! Who saw Faye Dunaway guest star on last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy?

You know she was channeling her Mommie Dearest role. NO WIRE HANGERS!

On Grey's, she yelled @ Yang, "Get Out! This is still my OR!" She hella roared it.

I was totally laughing my ass off. That was like the best part of the show. Oh, and Snow Patrol playing @ the end there.

Where was George?

Alice All The Way

2009-02-19T18:28:00.000-08:00

I think I'll invest in this Alice Cullen (Ashley Greene) figure when it goes on sale later this Spring.

She's totally my favorite character; Little drummer girl's favorite also.

NECA unveiled the future seeing, fashion absorbed vampire @ the 2009 Toy Fair recently as well as the Edward and Bella (Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart) pack. They plan to release more figures when New Moon comes out later this year.

The Twilight DVD is inching closer to its Saturday release date (March 21) and Borders' version has been massively consumed and pre-orders now will be delayed.

Brad, Angelina, Jen, And John Oscar Bound

2009-02-18T21:00:00.000-08:00

The Academy Awards are this Sunday and super couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are scheduled to attend as nominee's for Best Actor and Best Actress, respectively.

Cool girl Jennifer Aniston is rumored to be a presenter and her crooner boyfriend, John Mayer told paps or press he was to attend the event with the just turned 40 (and loving it) actress on his tattooed arm.

Please! They so won't cross paths. I'd have the biggest stomach ache if I was the JA.

I Get It! You Want Me To Buy The DVD

2009-02-18T20:50:00.000-08:00

I don't think I've ever seen such massive promo for the release of a DVD. This isn't Star Wars or American Anthem!

I swear the Richard Gere and Diane Lane movie, Nights in Rodanthe, is the only thing I've been dreaming about lately. Shockingly, I haven't turned the TV on as faithfully as I should, but when I do, that commercial for the DVD release is the only thing I end up watching. Gavin Rossdale comes on and I throw my hands in the air.

And I'm griping because? I don't know.

I'll end up catching it on TBS or TNT soon enough though.

Josh And Lindsay Couple Up

2009-02-07T10:48:00.000-08:00

How I Met Your Mother star Josh Radnor went to see a Knicks game last night @ Madison Square Garden with his girlfriend, Lindsay Price.

The couple have been together for months now and seem to be making it work since Radnor shoots his show in LA and Price is based in New York.

Price played Victory Ford on Lipstick Jungle and there is a chance that NBC will renew the show for the fall depending on the lineup. But Lindsay did say that the show could possibly move to a whole new network altogether.

That would be great cuz I love that program. It's like the show that won't completely, officially go away.

Robert Pattinson Out In London

2009-02-07T10:31:00.000-08:00

Robert Pattinson was seen out in public on Friday night @ a dinner for Vogue. Why he chose those shoes with his sports coat, I don't know.

Looks like his hair is growing @ the speed that it will be long enough when he starts shooting New Moon in March.

Pattinson has been laying low in London apart from being spotted sometimes @ pubs here and there.

He'll begin the New Moon shoot in Vancouver with co-star Kristen Stewart.

Jennifer Aniston Appears On Jay Leno

2009-02-06T19:25:00.000-08:00

My fave, Jennifer Aniston was Jay Leno's guest on The Tonight Show Thursday evening to promote He's Just Not That Into You.

She wore a really nice dress. And I loved her necklaces. She's always so well put together.

Aniston was also a guest on The Ellen Degeneres Show this afternoon where Ellen took her back to the Warner Bros studios and they visited the Friends coffee shop set, Central Perk. They have a little room in the prop department building where the coffee shop is settled in and it is shown to patrons who go on the WB studio tour.

Sidebar - I took the VIP deluxe tour a couple of years ago and it's worth it. You get to tour so many more areas.

Back to the JA, she's set to begin The Baster with Jason Bateman which she'll also produce.

Jennifer is rumored to be having a big party to celebrate the big 4-0. She starts her new decade on February 11.

Jen, Drew, And Ginnifer Pose For Marie Claire

2009-02-06T07:47:00.000-08:00

To promote their film, He's Just Not That Into You, three of the film's stars, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, and Ginnifer Goodwin playfully posed for Ruven Afanador.

The photo booth style pictures will be featured in the upcoming issue of Marie Claire.

I could have sworn I read about a Marie Claire photo shoot happening months ago with the stars of the movie. I believe Jennifer Connelly and Scarlett Johansson were supposed to be involved in this shoot as well. But rumors swirled that some of the ladies did not get along, in particular, the two Jennifers. But who knows what's true? Connelly and Aniston posed for pictures together @ the LA premiere days ago and Connelly praised Aniston on The Early Show yesterday saying she wished that JA lived in New York because she knows they'd be good friends. Hmm...

In other news, Bret Michaels (Poison & Rock of Love) has publicly declared his crush on Aniston and would happily take John Mayer's place should they break up again.

He's Just Not That Into You opens today.

Ellen Pompeo And Katherine Heigl Do Lunch

2009-02-04T18:56:00.000-08:00

Enjoying the California sun earlier today, Grey's Anatomy co-stars, Ellen Pompeo (Meredith Grey) and Katherine Heigl (Izzie Stevens) were spotted having lunch @ Cruzer Pizza & Pasta in the Los Feliz section of LA.

The two were joined by another female friend and no it wasn't Yang, Torres, or Bailey.

Wonder if they were to report back to the set afterwards? They were having some good 'ole wine with their meal; always nice.

A new episode of Grey's Anatomy airs tomorrow night. Let's count how many scenes and/or lines T.R. Knight has, okay?

BTW, that sweater on Pompeo is not flattering @ all.

Tom Cruise Is Fine

2009-02-04T09:55:00.000-08:00

Wow! Check out Tom Cruise's hot bod as he vacations with Katie Holmes and daughter Suri in Brazil.

I've always liked his face. And what a nice bod to go with that nice face.

Serena And Jenny Shop; Blair And Nate Kiss

2009-02-04T07:02:00.000-08:00

The cast of Gossip Girl was hard @ work yesterday filming scenes for one of their many remaining upcoming episodes.

Blake Lively and Taylor Momsen were rehearsing as they were getting ready to film inside the Missoni boutique.

Lively and Momsen's co-stars, Leighton Meester and Chace Crawford were shooting their scenes outdoors. And from the looks of what they were filming, could a possible reunion be on the horizon for Blair and Nate? Personally, I liked them as a couple. But there are hardcore Blair and Chuck fans who seem unhappy with her potential reconciliation with Nate.

Just when I was liking this show a lot again, they took a step back with Monday's episode. Serena and Dan (Penn Badgley) broke up for the billionth time, Chuck (Ed Westwick) had no scenes with Blair again, Nate and Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) were fast forwardable, and Eric was missing yet again.

He's Just Not That Into You - LA Premiere

2009-02-03T08:33:00.000-08:00

Last night in Los Angeles, a slew of celebrities were walking the red carpet to support their film, He's Just Not That Into You.

Executive producer and co-star Drew Barrymore showed up to the premiere @ Grauman's Chinese Theater with the rest of the cast.

Jennifer Connelly, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson, Sasha Alexander represented the female cast.

The male co-stars, Ben Affleck, Kevin Connolly, Justin Long, and Bradley Cooper were also present.

Wow! They all showed up!

The reviews on the film are so-so but I'll go see it for the cast alone.

Is Chuck Bass Dating Vanessa Abrams?

2009-02-03T08:09:00.000-08:00

So what's the dealy-o here? Could they really be an item?

Rumors have been swirling for months now that Gossip Girl co-stars Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr have formed an off-screen love affair. The two have been spotted together looking like they are more than friends.

And last night @ the Knicks basketball game in New York, Westwick and Szohr seemed that way again. They even kissed!

They were also friendly earlier in the day in between shooting scenes of the CW show.

Oh, them...

Megan Fox And Brian Austin Green At Office Depot

2009-02-01T12:18:00.000-08:00

Transformers star Megan Fox and her soon to be husband, Brian Austin Green were hanging out with Green's son, Kassius yesterday in Los Angeles.

The trio went shopping @ the local Office Depot for some supplies.

Kassius' mom is Vanessa Marcil, Green's one time Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star. Marcil is also best known as Brenda Barrett on General Hospital and Sam from Las Vegas.

Twilight - Behind The Scenes

2009-02-01T12:00:00.000-08:00

One of the good peeps @ the forums found this piece on YouTube.

They're some behind the scenes filming footage of Twilight featuring Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.

There's a cute one with the Edward and Bella; the scene where they are dancing in his room and she stops mid twirl to say she can't dance. But they're wearing white shirts in this one rather than the one that ended up on screen. The matching white tops look better, I think.

So is this the stuff we'll be getting on the DVD extras?

Donna Martin Graduates To New 90210

2009-01-29T21:17:00.000-08:00

Tori Spelling AKA Donna Martin, was on the set of 90210 this past Tuesday shooting scenes for the 19th episode of the show. Spelling was filming with Jennie Garth, who's somewhat of a semi-regular.

Donna is said to be having marital problems with husband David. Let's see how this plays out.

Jessica Stroup, who plays Donna's sister in law, Silver was also spotted shooting scenes that day.

I thought episode 19 was the one Jason Priestley was directing? His episode is supposed to be fierce.

Sheesh, why didn't Shannen Doherty show up for this one?

Edward Cullen And Bella Swan Dolls

2009-01-28T07:28:00.000-08:00

Tonner Dolls are in the midst of releasing the authorized figures of Twilight sweethearts, Edward 'Vampire" Cullen and Bella "Mortal Girl" Swan.

The dolls are supposed to be in the likeness of the two stars of the film, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

Maybe there's a smidgen of Robert in his doll, but the Bella one does not look like Kristen @ all, I think.

The price for these individuals? $125 a piece and pre-orders have been going on for a couple of weeks now. Who knows? They may even be selling them outright.
