Natalie Portman on Project Runway tonight

Via Hollyscoop, my favorite actress Natalie Portman will serve as a guest judge on tonight’s episode of ‘Project Runway’ to critique the eco-friendly designs of the remaining 15 contestants! Yay! I love her style, and we both love ruffles apparently .

So funky!

Check out the photos of James Brown auction on NY Times. His clothes, hair dryer, furniture and accessories that were up for auction. I want his piano, his entire sunglasses collection and that awesome yellow chair!

View the whole slide show here.

Is this how she has such toned calves?

Via the always amusing Young, Professional and Bored, this is such a comical picture. I want those super high platform sandals on Kelly, although I’d topple over if I tried to race in them.

Mischa Barton’s bag line

Mischa Barton has launched her handbag collection yesterday in the UK. I haven’t seen the whole collection, and correct me if I’m wrong, it doesn’t sound like she’s selling them in North America. “It’s a set of vintage-style leather handbags in earthy, typically bohemian colours, all priced Moss-level between 25 and 170 pounds. From next month, they’ll be dotted around as-yet-unnamed department stores.” Judging from the Mischa Barton Exclusive Launch On Line Embroidered Evening Bag (£20.00) on asos.com, I’m not holding my breath. It’s pretty frumpy-looking, not unlike Mischa herself (most the times she looks tres gorgeous) when she tried to bring back the high-waisted jeans.

I profess my love for Rachel

I’ve had a girl crush on Rachel Bilson for a long time. She’s just getting cuter and cuter every year! But also more and more womanly and elegant in her style. It helps when you have all those nice curves packed in a petite body. ‘“I’m so honored,” said Rachel Bilson of taking on the role of co-chair at the annual Whitney Contemporaries’ Art Party and Auction, held at Skylight Studios in New York City. In addition to professing her appreciation for art at the event, presented by Max Azria, Bilson also showed off her flawless fashion sense in an Herve Leger bandage dress. Is her sense of style rubbing off on 7-year-old sister Hattie? “Yes! She borrows my clothes,” Bilson sighed. “And I can’t believe it, but soon her feet are going to be big enough that she’ll be able to borrow my shoes!”‘

Those are some tight pants

(Fergie on the Today show yesterday). Those are possibly the tightest pants I’ve ever seen. Look how smooth her legs are. If it weren’t for the slight wrinkles around the crotch, I’d swear they were painted on!

Beautiful Charlize

I’m so taken by these breathtakingly beautiful photos of Charlize Theron in the June issue W magazine. She’s flawless, whatever she wears looks stunning on her. Love the plum Donna Karan New York’s silk gown. Also, check out her article.

Don’t let this happen to you

My goodness, I didn’t know Mischa Barton was in such a terrible shape considering she’s so young and slim. Bikini season’s coming soon. It’s time to get our body ready for it, darlings. I don’t have any tricks. But definitely stay away from junk food ’cause the toxins will be deposited in your thighs especially if you are genetically predisposed to cellulite. I’m doing my best to eat more veggies and fruit now. I also believe green tea can help flush toxins out of your system. And I’m trying to use body scrubs more frequently. Using a body scrub in the shower not only gets rid of the dead skin cells, but it also helps your circulation and that also helps your body move the toxins out. And of course exercising is important. This will be the most difficult for me since I’m a lazy bum all year around. My guy’s trying to get me to hit his punching bag with his so he bought me my own pair of gloves and shin pads. We’ll see if I’ll last. These pictures of Mischa Barton might scare me into exercising

Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish 14.1 oz $65. Fantastic scrub that smells heavenly and lasts forever.

Very classy…

TGIF, everybody! Have a good laugh

They seem to get along

Looks to me L.C. and Heidi were having fun at Rolling Stones photo shoot.  There are more pictures over at Rolling Stones’ website.  Whitney’s pigtails look so adorable on her!

Posh’s Jeans are at a discount store

Apparently Posh’s jeans aren’t selling so well. Gee, I wonder why, at $275 a pop at Kitson. But if you live close to a Loehmann’s, they are giving them away for $69.99. I bet she never expected to see her jeans go to a discount store.

Emily Blunt

I adore Emily Blunt, who I think totally made the movie Devil Wears Prada. These are such gorgeous photos of her in NY Times, love the milky skin, green eyes and reddish brown hair. And the Miu Miu dress she’s wearing in the third picture is to DIE-for.

Her interview, The Americanization of Emily was so much fun to read. She made me laugh

Did you have any interaction with Julia Roberts, who was also in the film [Charlie Wilson's War]?
Sadly, no. When I was around 10, rather inappropriately, I watched ‘‘Pretty Woman.’’ I remember asking my grandmother what Julia Roberts was showing Richard Gere. They were brightly colored, and I thought they were sweets. ‘‘That’s a condom,’’ my grandmother said. I went, ‘‘Oh right, oh right.’’ I had no idea what she was talking about.

Why do the Americans hold the British in such high esteem?
Because they think we’re all related to Shakespeare.

LC v.s. Heidi

So is everybody excited about The Hills’ season 3 premier on Monday night? I just read in that Whitney’s coming up with her own line of clothing called Eve & A this coming fall. It will feature convertible dresses, tops and jackets ranging from $40 to $250. Heidi already has a line ready to be in store in April. And Lauren’s line’s been out for awhile. All three girls are vying for a piece of The Hills market. We don’t know what Whitney’s line’s going to look like. Here are what Heidi’s and LC’s lines look. Heidi’s is considerably cheaper with everything under $50. Who do you think has got the better line?

Scarlett and Natalie

Check out stunning The Sister Act spread of Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman in April issue of W, both dressed head-to-toe in Miu Miu, silk dresses and silk collars and cuffs! I especially love Natalie’s makeup, dark eyes, strong eyebrows and nude lips. I can’t wait to see the movie!
