The Gossip Girl cast got bundled up and took over Manhattan for another day of filming yesterday. On last night's episode we got to see Jenny and Dan each play out their passions in very different ways, while Chuck and Blair worked on issues with their respective parents at home. Serena stuck by her phone as the usual fashion and beauty kept us captivated. At last week's Juicy event Penn Badgley talked about Dan and the upcoming TV death we've been hearing about. Here's more:
On what he doesn't like about Dan: "Dan has a lot going for him but he’s his own worst enemy. And I think I’m frustrated a lot of times with how judgmental he is and how rigid he is in his morals. The guy needs to loosen up. He needs to loosen the eff up. "
On his favorite part of playing Dan: "Oh God, I have to think about that one. Maybe the jeans. He has great jeans."
Christina Aguilera looked dramatic as usual out in LA last night at a launch party for fashion photographer Matthew Rolston's new book, BeautyLIGHT. That's not the only release she's celebrating — her new album "Keeps Gettin' Better" also hits shelves today. She recently opened up to Rolling Stone about the many challenges she faces as a solo female artist. She said,
“I’m running a business and sometimes being the boss of your own empire and creation, you have to be assertive. Being a female, that comes with being labeled a ‘b*tch’ and given titles that men wouldn’t receive. But if that’s what I’m going to be called by being assertive and knowing who I am and what I want out of life, so be it. I wear that label proudly.”
Christina isn't one to take the safe route, so it's no surprise she won't back down to any critics.
While one star of Australia was elsewhere in town at the women of the year awards, Hugh Jackman got dressed up to honor director Baz Luhrmann at the MoMA. The handsome actor was just one of the stars out looking fabulous alongside Jessica Biel in a simple LBD and Rachel Weisz in one with flattering pink accents. Maggie Gyllenhaal draped herself in fur — can you tell if it's faux or not? — while Peter kept the fuzziness on his face. Nicole Kidman was expected to stop by after her Glamour event to help get everyone excited for their big release just a few weeks away as well as raise money and awareness for the museum's growing film collection.
Get the Look: Samantha Who? Dinner Party As the holidays approach, I've had festive dinner party décor on my mind. While some of you may want to get crafty with a paper wreath, others may prefer to keep the holiday kitsch to a minimum. I was impressed with this table setting in Samantha Who? as it manages to look seasonally appropriate for a Thanksgiving or Christmas party.
We'll have to wait a bit longer to see Jennifer Aniston showing off her bikini body for the December issue of Vogue, but here's the cover. She looks hot on the beach in her red dress, and Jennifer came to the interview ready to tackle the issues on everyone's minds — her relationship with John Mayer, how she really feels about comments Angelina has made, and whether or not she talks to Brad Pitt. Here's more:
On things Angelina has said in the past: "There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening. I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss. That stuff about how she couldn’t wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool."
On whether or not she's talked to Brad: "A few very kind hellos . . . and congratulations on your babies."
On her relationship with John: "People need to mind their own business! Did you ever think Claudia Schiffer and David Copperfield made sense? Love just shows up."
On John openly discussing dumping her: "Trust me, you’ll never see that happen again from that man."
Jen's showing a tougher side here, but it sounds like she's ready to move on with her new relationship with John — and whip him into shape while she's at it. We can't wait to get our hands on a copy and see the full spread when it hits newsstands soon!
Jaden Smith has been following in his father's Hollywood footsteps and is now rumored to be the new star of a Karate Kid remake. Will Smith's children have acted in films before, and Jaden costarred with Will in The Pursuit of Happyness, but this would put him in a lead role. So tell us — do you think Jaden is the next Will Smith?
In this week's Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf demonstrates that there's nothing like a red sparkly dress to make you stand out at a party. Although her exact Marchesa dress isn't available online, this one is quite similar.
