The 2013 upfront presentations have taken over LA, and they've provided the perfect opportunity for stars to show off their stellar red carpet style. At last night's Fox party, Minka Kelly paired a green printed, one-shoulder dress with black ankle-strap sandals, while Lea Michele looked bright in a pink, floral Lela Rose dress with silver metallic pumps. Zooey Deschanel proved the most covered up in a black circle skirt topped with a black sequined jacket, and her New Girl costar Hannah Simone was ladylike in a black dress with a vibrant garden print.

The Butler Trailer: See Famous Actors Play Our Most Famous Presidents

It's only May, but the trailer for Lee Daniels's The Butler already has me thinking about award season.

It's only May, but the trailer for Lee Daniels's The Butler already has me thinking about award season. The drama stars Forest Whitaker as Cecil Gaines, a butler who serves eight US presidents over the course of his three decades at the White House. Working through particularly volatile moments in the country's history, he gains a unique perspective on the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, the Watergate scandal, and more. Oprah Winfrey plays Cecil's wife, marking the first time she's been on screen playing a character other than herself since 1998's Beloved.

Whitaker and Winfrey aren't the only big names in the movie. The laundry list of stars playing presidents is fascinating: Robin Williams is Dwight Eisenhower, James Marsden is John F. Kennedy (with Minka Kelly as Jackie Kennedy!), Liev Schreiber is Lyndon Johnson, John Cusack is Richard Nixon, and Alan Rickman is Ronald Reagan. Not all the actors resemble their presidential counterparts, so I'm curious to see how this pans out. The film opens Oct. 18, and you can see the trailer after the jump.

Minka Kelly Gives Her Locks a New Look For Summer

Minka Kelly showed off her fresh dye job sporting lighter locks and a shorter haircut during an outing in LA yesterday.

Minka Kelly showed off her fresh dye job sporting lighter locks and a shorter haircut during an outing in LA yesterday. On Friday, the actress stopped by celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham's salon and opted for a blond, shoulder-length layered look. Minka's stylist shared a before-and-after picture of the actress's locks on her Instagram account, where Minka commented, "I love it! You're the best in the biz!"

While Minka basks in her new lighter look, her natural brunette hair color will make a return appearance on the big screen later this year. Minka plays the iconic former First Lady Jackie Kennedy in Lee Daniels's The Butler, which is due out Oct. 18. In the meantime, Minka is focusing on the small screen and was seen filming her new J.J. Abrams sci-fi drama Human in Vancouver last month.

Celebrity 6-Pack Secrets — Revealed!

Drumroll, please . . . the secret to a six-pack has finally been revealed!

Drumroll, please . . . the secret to a six-pack has finally been revealed! If you've been working on your abs and still aren't seeing results, then it might be time to switch things up. According to Gunnar Peterson, Celebrity trainer to stars like Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani, there are three things you should focus on when doing core work, and not one of them requires a traditional sit-up!

  1. Be consistent: As with all workouts, being consistent is the key to great abs! Gunnar suggests you work your abs at least twice a week or every other day. Sticking with an ab routine like this will help build strength and maximize results. When it comes to your abs, doing regular cardio and sticking with a clean eating plan and flat-belly foods is equally important.
  2. Work in multiple planes of motion: Consider this your excuse to skip the crunches! Although crunches have their benefits, they don't work your entire core. Because our midsection is divided into three parts — the upper abs, obliques, and lower abs — you must do a variety of exercises to see results. This all-abs workout will work your entire midsection, and this video will tackle all four layers of abdominal muscles for a sleek midsection. Bonus: many of these exercises work more than just your abs too!
  3. Add weights: Adding weights to your core workout will make an ab series more effective. Gunnar helps his celebrity clients get cover-worthy abs with five- to 10-pound dumbbells and a similar weighted ab workout.

Minka Kelly and Kelly Osbourne joined other stars on the runway at the Heart's Truth Red Dress fashion show in NYC last night. Minka strutted her stuff in a tangerine Oscar de la Renta gown while Kelly wore a strapless number. The two were joined by Kris Jenner and her daughters Kylie and Kendall, and Jamie Chung, who wore a custom David Meister ruby frock.

Many of the celebrities were walking the runway for the first time, which meant preshow jitters. Kelly tweeted before the event, "Really nervous about walking in the Red Dress Show tonight because. . . clearly I'm not a model!" The annual show — which always contains a celebrity-filled roster of models — was created to raise awareness about heart disease in women.
