Rihanna

rihanna... film actress?

Rihanna was spotted leaving her hotel in NYC on May 12 (with Chris Brown exiting a few moments later, hmm...), and I'm not sure if she was aware or not of her subtle Lakers pride (hello yellow coat and purple kicks). To steal RiRi's outfit, start with an eye-catching yellow coat, like Amberlynn's Cropped Swing Jacket in Canary, and pair with a simple black tank (I love the details of Zoa's Braided Racer Back Tank in Black). Next up, throw on some pearls and a studded cuff, along with a big leather bag with gold chain accents (like Posse New York's Juliana Bag in Black) and black skinnies (check out Hudson Jeans' New Stella Skinny Jean in Black) and you'll be set. Crazy heels? You're on your own to find those. It seems that what RiRi sets her mind to happens, and now she allegedly has interest in becoming a movie actress. The singer has said, "I don't know how good I'll be at it, but it's something that I want to try." She's going to give it her best shot in the upcoming film Mama Black Widow, which will take place in the 1930's and revolve around an African-American family's migration from the South. What do you think- will Rihanna make a good actress?

Cameron Diaz

Just like a good wine...

Cameron Diaz hit up the Nokia-sponsored Pangea Day on May 10, held at the studio where "The Wizard of Oz" was filmed in Culver City, Ca. Pangea Day was the first ever world film festival, where "millions of people at venues around the world simultaneously watched a live four-hour broadcast of short independent films." Cool! Cameron played it casual on the carpet, starting with a pair of faded grey denim (like Tag Jeans' Slim Grey Jean) with a pair of sparkly ballet flats. On top, she paired a long tank (similar to Laura Dahl's Racerback Tank in Black) with a cropped leather jacket (check out Gold Hawk's Belted Leather Jacket in Moonless Night) and a long, patterned scarf. It seems that just like a good wine, Cameron gets better with age- or at least she thinks she does. In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan Magazine, Cam said, "I feel I get better with age... I look at pictures of myself when I was 21 and think, 'Wow, I didn't look so bad.' But I take more care of myself now, so in a way I feel like I look better than I did then ... I feel stronger and more confident." Good for Cam, but what do you think? Does Cameron look better now, or when she was younger?

Heidi Montag

Lauren the diva

We haven't seen much of Heidi Montag around here lately (I've been trying to detox from her for a while), but HM was spotted doing some shopping on Rodeo Drive on May 9 with mom Darlene for a little pre-Mother's Day retail therapy. The duo hit up stores such as Hermes, Chanel, Ralph Lauren and Brooks Brothers, happily posing and smiling for the cameras (shocker). Looks like Heidi's also rockin' some new extensions, and overall, she's not looking as plastic as usual. Upgrade! For her outfit, Heidi started with a fitted black jacket over a grey burnout tee (like Hank Vintage Threads' Midieval Lion Crown Crest Tee in Charcoal), and paired with skinny black denim (check out Hudson Jeans' New Stella Skinny Poplin Jean in Black) and multicolored gladiator heels. Lovin' the kicks! While "The Hills" had its much anticipated finale on Monday night, it seems that Heidi and BF slash evil dictator Spencer Pratt were not allowed to attend the lavish afterparty bash held at a huge Beverly Hills mansion. Sources tell PerezHilton.com, "MTV caved in to Lauren's demands. They didn't let Spencer and Heidi in to the party because Lauren threatened to walk off. She didn't want any of the attention taken away from her." Lauren the diva!

Leighton Meester

Like 'New York Mag' said - best show ever

Leighton Meester worked the red carpet of the 2008 Telefilm Festival at Cinema Apollo in Milan, Italy on May 11, 2008 with "Gossip Girl" co-star Chace Crawford, looking ravishing. In a white and black patterned dress (similiar to Yoana Baraschi's Giant Rose Shift Dress in Black and White, Sydney Los Angeles' Palm Beach Dress in White and Black Paisley and Cake Couture's Anenome Print Mandarin Dress in White) with cute heels and a clover bracelet, Leighton definitely turned it up a notch. Besides Leighton and all of her wonderfulness, does everyone agree that "GG" is better than ever lately? From the sharp and witty writing to the shocking plot twists to the new devilish character Georgina (played with bitchy glee by Michelle Trachtenberg), I heavily recommend tuning in if you haven't already. And Blair (Meester) is by FAR my favorite character; the scene where she confronted young Jenny's "boyfriend" about his secret was absolutely delectable. XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Lauren Conrad

THE HILLS FINALE AIRS TONIGHT

Lauren Conrad is the latest celeb to head to New York, and was spotted here arriving in NYC on May 6. I just realized that Lauren's style is very similar to Rachel Bilson's; casual and yet always very put together. Lauren started her "jeans and tee" look with a white tee (check out Los Angeles Royalty's Bamboo Tee in White) and (of course) very dark wash denim (similar to Joe's Jeans' Chelsea Jean in Reed) tucked into black Minnetonka Moccasins. Accessory wise, Lauren kept it pretty basic, sticking to a patterned sheer silk scarf and silver bracelets (like Mickey Lynn Designs' Hammered Bracelet Set in Silver) and necklaces (check out Maya Brenner Designs' World Peace Necklace in Silver). As I'm sure you're already aware, tonight is the season finale of season 3 of "The Hills" on MTV, which will also air a pre-show and after-show for their ratings juggernaut. BuddyTV is describing the finale as "Audrina feeling threatened by Lauren Conrad's close friendship with Lo. Feeling shut out by the two, Audrina is bitten by the bug to move out on her own, prompting Lauren to make a heartfelt effort to mend things with her. Finally, Spencer Pratt fears the worst that Heidi will be lost to him for good when he finds out she's accepted a gig in Las Vegas." Always with the drama! Will you be watching??

Paris Hilton

BENJI THE LIFE CHANGER

Paris Hilton was spotted making quite the elaborate entrance (what else would we expect) to Loft and Garden in Rockefeller Center in NYC on May 8, to promote her new line of hair extensions for Sally Beauty Supply. The line, called Clipin-Go by Paris Hilton, will be sold exclusively at Sally stores nationwide, and Paris says that she's "been wearing hair extensions for years and have tried other products that didn’t work. When I started using DreamCatchers from my line, I started using the best quality and styles. I’m always coming up with new ideas because I love coming up with fun hairstyles." Oh Paris, always so business savvy! Hilton chose an angelic white frock for her promotional blitz, similar to LaROK's Coco Sequin Dress in White and Black Halo's Empire Tank Mini Dress in White, with a pair of off-white patent pumps and mucho body bronzer. While we all know Paris and Benji Madden have had quite the whirlwind romance, Paris is speaking out about just how much the Madden twin changed her life. She said, "We've been friends for over six years now and when (Nicole Richie) had Harlow I started going over to the house and we just got a little crush on each other and totally fell in love. It's actually perfect. (Nicole and I) are like sisters, and they're twins so it works out well. We do talk about (marriage). I'm so happy. I'm so in love. And I know I want to spend the rest of my life with him. If you saw us together you'd understand. He's my boyfriend and my best friend." Good for Paris- do you see her and Benji spending "the rest of their lives together" though?

Mischa Barton

MISCHA LOVES HER BODY

Yay! Mischa Barton listened to me! Since my last entry, she fixed her hair and all-in-all seems 100% less stoned than she usually does on red carpet appearances! And I do have to say... I like this look on Mischa. While some of you readers might hate it, it's nice to see Misch try a different look than her usual hippie/bohemian style and go for something a little bit more upscale and, dare I say it, preppy? Mischa arrived to the 5th Annual Candies Foundation “Event To Prevent” Benefit at Cipriani in NYC (is everyone in New York right now??) on May 7, rocking a pretty floral blouse (while Mischa's is a little bit more corset-esque, Vanitas' Liberty Top in Floral Dot and Gold Hawk's Floral Stripe Cami in Enlgish Ivy Print are cute alternatives) tucked into a pair of high-waisted trousers (check out Paper Denim & Cloth's Utility Pant in Matchstick). Barton completed her look with a matching tan shoulder bag and her "I-won't-go-anywhere-without-them" silver cuffs (like Jessica Elliot's Open Clover Cuff in Sterling Silver). While it seems that everyone is still freaking out about the less-than-flattering paparazzi candids of Mischa sunning herself on her hotel balcony, Mischa doesn't have any problems with her body. She spoke out about everyone's obsession with her body, saying, "Every woman has cellulite. I’ve never claimed to have a perfect body. I eat healthy, I work out. I feel very comfortable. I come from a European family that’s always very comfortable with their bodies. You are what you are as a woman. If I’m in shape and I’m fulfilling my role as an actress, then that’s all that matters to me. There’s been a lot of nasty gossip written about me. If I was to cry over every single thing, I’d be the most depressed person ever.” Way to keep your head up, MB!
