Penelope Cruz has been flying under the radar lately, so I was pleasantly surprised to see a photo of her this week looking just as stunning as ever. I’ve always liked Penelope. She seems really grounded and down-to-earth (even when she was dating Tom Cruise, which, as we all know, is enough to catapult anyone into questionable mental territory…). In addition to her seemingly chill personality, she possesses a classic, chic style that is visually intriguing while still being low-key. Read More »

Instead of freezing over the holidays, it looks like most celebs opted for tropical vacations. Luckily for us, every single one of them decided to take a ride on a jet ski. From those who looked like they were born to ride the waves, to some others who seemed more than awkward in their puffy life jackets, this is one of those galleries you never knew you wanted to see…but you totally do.

When I go to class at 8 a.m. wearing no makeup, I don’t look good. It’s not fair that some celebrities look amazing even without makeup. They get to be a celebrity!
Why do they get to look good with no makeup on?? I’m so jealous. And I want you to be jealous too. So here, just take a look.

Ryan Reynolds finally spills the beans on his marriage to Scarlet Johansson and insists they’re not private on purpose. We’re guessing they’re just private because they’re too boring to be anything else. I mean Scarlet was all the rage back in the day, but ever since Nanny Diaries she’s been pretty tame.
Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem have some news. We won’t spill the beans, but for once in celebrity land, it’s actaully somewhat interesting and not totally self-serving.

Every day we’re bombarded with a million different messages about what we are supposed to look like. And tell you what, our not-so-scientific-yet-totally-accurate visual research proves that 99% of girls out there don’t fit the mold. So instead of telling you how to wear your hair, or how much weight to lose, or which one of Heidi Montag’s many surgeries to get (because, really, look where that got her), we’re going to celebrate these so-called beauty flaws with beautiful women every single week.
Last week we celebrated the natural nose. Today, let’s talk about curves.
It’s no secret that Hollywood likes their actresses to look anorexic-chic. But that doesn’t mean that all the women in Hollywood are conforming to that reasonable ridiculous standard. This week we’re putting on a spotlight on the curvy and voluptuous celebrities who haven’t let their bigger bodies stop them from having even bigger careers. Read More »

So instead of telling you how to wear your hair, or how much weight to lose, or which one of Heidi Montag’s many surgeries to get, we’re going to celebrate these so-called beauty flaws with beautiful women every single week.
Last week we celebrated the bushy brow. Today, let’s talk about the schnoz.
It seems like every time you go online another celebrity got a nose job due to “a deviated septum.” It’s ridiculous that they expect us to believe that and even more ridiculous that they got it done in the first place. Big noses don’t mean you can’t be a big beauty and today we’re all about the women who embrace what their mama (and papa) gave ‘em. Read More »

While guys love ranking foreign and domestic beer, I love ranking foreign and domestic men. Which is why the Cannes Film Festival is my favorite time of year. Gorgeous men from near and far come together (in tuxedos!) to look into my soul the camera and look super fine. And even though Carey Mulligan tried to subvert my stalking by standing in front of every. camera. in the country of France (seriously, where did this girl come from?), I was able to round up a few choice shots of Cannes’ finest.
Ryan Gossling has left his Notebook days far behind, but thankfully retained that scruffy, wanna-jump-him-in-the-rain quality we all loved so much. For those of you who prefer your guys tall, dark, and aged to perfection, look no further than Javier Bardem. Though Penelope Cruz has already called dibs, you can still dream. Also on the list are Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, who will woo you in languages you can’t even understand; Shia LaBeouf; French hottie Gaspard Ulliel; Pharrell Williams; and a mustachioed Josh Brolin.
It’s Monday. You’re tired, over-worked and coming down from a Skittles high. So just sit back, relax, and take in a little Cannes culture. [Click on the picture to get some more of that sweet, sweet lovin'.] Read More »

All year long I look forward to award show season, the best time to see my favorite celebs hitting the red carpet looking all kinds of fabulous. Sure, I love seeing who wins the awards and what the “experts” consider the best movie of the year, but everyone knows the best thing about these award shows is checking out what everyone is wearing.
What a celebrity wears on the red carpet is usually the most important thing she can wear all year. It’s always fun to point out the what-was-she-THINKING? outfits, but looking at the most gorgeous dresses is always a pleasure that everyone can indulge in. That is exactly why the majority of the female population (myself included) will be sitting in front of the TV tomorrow night with a bowl of popcorn, drooling over each beautiful dress that struts by.
So who will work the carpet the best? Here are five starlets I know will be looking divine based on their glamorous appearances from Red Carpet’s past. Read More »

I remember the day I discovered my first girl crush: I must have been 8 or 9 years old, and I had just embarked on a rite of passage that would help to define my teeny-bopping years. I had been to my first Spice Girls concert, and in addition to falling in love with the classics like “Wannabe” and “Say You’ll Be There,” I fell in love with Victoria Adams. Yes, Adams; she was not yet Mrs. Beckham and still had some meat on her bones. These days she won’t even eat a cookie.
I continued to hone in on my celebrity girl crushes, admiring them from afar; I went through a Britney Spears phase (who didn’t?), fell in love with a random contestant on MTV’s Real World/Road Rules Challenge, declared my love for Jessica Alba, Sloan from Entourage, Kristin Cavalleri from Laguna Beach, Charlize Theron, and the entire female cast of Gossip Girl, and obsessed over Giada de Laurentiis from The Food Network. Anyone that can whip up eggplant parmigiana and chocolate hazelnut brownies five days a week and still wear a size two is totally hot in my book.
The one girl (or woman, I should say) that continually I refused to crush on was Penelope Cruz. Maybe it’s because my first serious boyfriend was in love with her and I was jealous, or maybe it’s because she speaks English with a sexy Spanish accent that I have always coveted. Either way, I always argued with people who insisted that she was the hottest celebrity. That is, until I had a revelation just a couple of weeks ago. Read More »
