Lauren Turner — Thu, 31 May 2012 22:45:54 PDT

Rihanna got racy for photographer Matt Irwin in the pages of Esquire UK's latest issue. She posed topless for the cover and donned sexy lingerie for the accompanying spread. The full interview appears in the July issue of Esquire, which goes on sale on June 4.

Rihanna's been busy with more than just her music lately, having starred in her first major film, Battleship. The movie had a strong opening at the box office earlier this month and it looks like Rihanna's career isn't slowing down. She's performing in Europe this Summer, and in November she'll release her third fragrance, Nude, which she appropriately posed naked for during a recent promotional photo shoot.

Jessica Chandra — Thu, 31 May 2012 20:45:13 PDT

Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating her Diamond Jubilee this weekend, and the next few days will be packed with celebratory events to mark her 60 years on the throne, including a jubilee river pageant on the Thames on Sunday, and a star-studded concert at Buckingham Palace on Monday. In the lead-up to her Diamond Jubilee members of the royal family have toured other countries in the Commonwealth and given interviews about their fondest memories with her - Prince Harry told Katie Couric for a 20/20 special that he calls her “Granny” and that she’s “very normal, very relaxed.” Prince William said she’s “chatty when she wants to be” and joked that her beloved corgis don’t have many fans due to their constant barking. To celebrate the big occasion we’ve rounded up some pictures from the Queen’s life, including snaps from when she was a girl to her more recent outings.

Kate Moss Celebrates Mango and, Soon, the Queen's Jubilee

Allie Merriam — Thu, 31 May 2012 18:51:03 PDT

Kate Moss was in Barcelona last night for the 4th annual Mango Fashion Awards at the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. Venezuelan-American designer Carolina Herrera was chairperson of the 2012 awards, which honour up-and-coming designers. Kate, Mango founder Isak Andic, and writer Derek Blasberg are among the judges. Derek apparently spent some time with Kate away from their work on the deciding committee. He tweeted yesterday, "Now I know why Kate Moss likes Barcelona. Everyone smokes. Everywhere." Kate, Derek, Carolina, and company ended up presenting Thai designer Wisharawish Akarasantisook with the top prize of nearly $400,000 USD. Kate spoke about her work and career to commemorate the occasion. Kate said:

On her fashion guardian angel: "I suppose it would have to be my agent. I'm still with them after a very long time. They discovered me and they were always there."
On being referred to as a fashion icon all the time: "I don't really think about it. I couldn't. If I thought about it then I wouldn't be able to get dressed in the morning. I just wear what I feel like wearing."
On the designer she thinks best embodies creativity: "Galliano's shows. Always. They were like magic. They were like theatre."
On how she'll celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee: "A country fair I think. Country fair jubilee, a bit of bunting!"

This month we get a double dose of Charlize Theron in two of the most highly anticipated films of the year, a Bridesmaids cast reunion of sorts in a new comedy, and some animated flicks to warm your heart.

Miranda Kerr and Flynn Bloom Make Their Way Through Sydney

Lindsay Miller — Thu, 31 May 2012 15:58:45 PDT

Miranda Kerr had her adorable son, Flynn Bloom, on her hip as the duo strolled through Sydney airport yesterday. The mother and son have been spending a lot of time in Oz while Miranda completes some modelling work. Not only does she grace the current cover of InStyle Australia, but she also posed for a midriff-baring photo shoot in Sydney last week. Her recent stay has afforded her some time with family - she and Flynn were seen paying a visit to her mum and grandmother on Mother's Day. Additionally, the multitasking model racked up honours at Sydney's Women of Style awards earlier this month. Her skin care line, Kora Organics, was up for a prize at the event, and she claimed the title of most stylish woman during the ceremony.

Katie Henry — Thu, 31 May 2012 15:00:50 PDT

Fans gathered at London's Leicester Square yesterday to try and get a peek of Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender and Guy Pearce at the world premiere of Prometheus. The trio were also joined on the blue carpet by the film's director, Ridley Scott. Charlize, dressed in Christian Dior, is back in the UK following a recent stint there promoting her other major release, Snow White and the Huntsman, with co-star Kristen Stewart. Michael's in London, his home base, after a weekend of partying at Monaco's Formula One Grand Prix, where he ran into X-Men: First Class co-stars Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult.

This is one of the first major Prometheus event for Charlize, Michael and Guy. However, the movie's viral video campaign kicked off a few months ago. Michael's character, an android named David, gave fans a sneak peek at the alien sci-fi thriller.

What to Expect When You're Expecting: Brings a Surprising Amount of Belly Laughs

Shannon Vestal — Thu, 31 May 2012 00:00:00 PDT

Ever since Love Actually captured hearts and audiences with its huge cast and sweet intersecting story lines, there's been an overflow of ensemble comedies, and fatigue has officially set in. There are usually too many characters and subplots, and while What to Expect When You're Expecting does have a star-studded cast and a lot going on, it's funnier and more engrossing than most of the movies in the genre.

The characters are all dealing with some aspect of parenthood: there's Cameron Diaz as Jules, a trainer on a Biggest Loser-like show who gets pregnant by her dancing partner (Matthew Morrison) from a Dancing With the Stars-like show. There's Holly and Alex (Jennifer Lopez and Rodrigo Santoro), a couple who resorts to adoption, while Rosie and Marco (Anna Kendrick and Chace Crawford) have a fling that leads to her pregnancy. Elizabeth Banks plays Wendy, a woman who's grateful to finally be expecting but is disappointed when she feels more gross than glowy, and in contrast, her younger mother-in-law (Brooklyn Decker) is having the most effortless pregnancy in history. Sure, it's way too perfect that everyone conceives their children around the same time, but the movie is filled with enough humour and warmth to compensate. To find out what else I thought about What to Expect When You're Expecting, just keep reading.

Joel Madden Gets Involved With the Samsung Galaxy S III Launch in Sydney

Jessica Chandra — Wed, 30 May 2012 22:56:08 PDT

The big buzz in the tech world today is surrounding the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone, and one of the phone’s carriers, Vodafone, had The Voice coach Joel Madden on hand to help with the gadget’s debut in Sydney. Being a famous twin with brother Benji, Joel was a perfect match for Vodafone’s special 12-month double data offer. After helping with the sale to the first customer, Joel, complete with signature toothpick, sat down for a Q&A session with The Voice social media host Faustina Agolley. Here’s some of what Joel had to say:

On being a twin: “I actually work in pairs pretty much my whole life. I function in pairs. I’m always a part of some sort of duo, whether it’s my wife, my twin brother . . . or Seal [laughs]. I tend to be a sidekick more than the main superhero.”
On whether he’s double-dated with Benji: “Yes, we have. It didn’t end well. It was a long time ago. The thing about Benji is you can’t take him anywhere [because] he doesn’t have very good manners. Also, the first girls we ever liked were a set of twins [at school]. We were in love with them. We tried to date them. I think we were a bit underdeveloped at that point . . . We were late bloomers.”
What it’s been like to work on The Voice: “It’s been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my career. It’s been completely different from anything I’ve ever done before. Obviously I’ve done TV before, but I’ve never been part of a show. I knew it would be good, I knew it would be fun, but I had no idea it would be the experience it’s been.”
On Australian TV production: “Australia has, for me, the best production in TV in the world. It’s so laid-back but at the same they get the job done, and they do a great job. Being on the inside has been really awesome for me to see what goes into making a TV show.
On the contestants: “With the artists I’ve been able to work with, who are all at the beginning of a new phase in their careers, it’s been magical to see some of them come to life and become stars in front of our eyes. I really think we have - not to compare, but it’s human nature to compare, right? - I think we have the best talent on our show of all the Voice’s. We have the most interesting characters.”

Chris O'Dowd On The Sapphires, Moving Past Bridesmaids and Planning His Own Wedding

Allie Merriam — Wed, 30 May 2012 18:02:07 PDT

Chris O'Dowd is a familiar face to many after his megahit from 2011, Bridesmaids, and his UK series The IT Crowd. He had plenty of options in terms of films to make following Bridesmaids, and he chose to work with an unknown Australian filmmaker on what is now the Cannes hit The Sapphires. The Weinstein Company picked up rights to distribute the feel-good comedy starring Jessica Mauboy and Deborah Mailman, so audiences in the US will also be able to see Chris' latest when it comes out in August. We caught up with Chris and director Wayne Blair last week at the Cannes Film Festival, and both guys chatted about the process of making The Sapphires. Chris, who's marrying UK TV presenter Dawn Porter later this year, also dished about the crazy process of planning his very own wedding.

Kristen Stewart Wears Shades of Grey For Her NYC Airport Arrival

Jessica Chandra — Wed, 30 May 2012 17:23:50 PDT

Kristen Stewart travelled comfortably from LA to NYC in a grey top and jeans yesterday, keeping warm in a black beanie and leather jacket. The actress is in the middle of a US press tour for Snow White and the Huntsman. On Tuesday she joined co-star Sam Claflin for a fan event and LA screening, and will continue promoting in NYC. Next month she’ll travel Down Under with Chris Hemsworth and director Rupert Sanders for a red carpet premiere at Bondi Junction, marking her first time in Australia since her visit in 2010 for Eclipse. Kristen’s return to SWATH work comes after a few days at the Cannes Film Festival last week, where she presented On the Road with Kirsten Dunst, Garrett Hedlund and Tom Sturridge, and linked up with boyfriend Robert Pattinson for some kisses at an after party.

Les Misérables Trailer: Dreaming Dreams With Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman

Maggie Pehanick — Wed, 30 May 2012 16:24:42 PDT

Earlier this week, we were excited about the photos of the new film adaption of Les Misérables, but the new teaser trailer gives us a peek at Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Amanda Seyfried and Russell Crowe in heartbreaking action. Hathaway, as Fantine, belts out a soft rendition of one of the musical's most famous songs, "I Dreamed a Dream," while we get glimpses of the other characters and some of the crucial scenes in the movie, like the shearing of Fantine's long locks. It's particularly chilling to see Fantine both before and after she becomes poverty-stricken.

Though I'm dying to hear some of the other actors' pipes in action (particular Crowe's), I have to say that Hathaway does a pretty solid job. Hopefully, the next trailers will give more variety, but this one is intriguing enough to hold me over until then. The movie doesn't hit cinemas in Australia until Dec. 26, but you can check out the new trailer after the jump.
