With Victoria off in New York keeping the front row seats at Fashion Week warm, David Beckham surfaced in Croatia yesterday with his England team. He looked all dapper in his suit arriving in style before quickly changing into his training gear for practice out on the field. Today's match will be an important one for Becks and the team — it could play a role in determining whether or not England will qualify for the next World Cup.
Blake Lively looked ready for rain in her Hunter Wellingtons getting lunch at Tortilla Flats with Penn Badgley in NYC yesterday. This season on Gossip Girl the wishy washy back together couple can't seem to keep their hands off each other, but considering their offscreen chemistry it doesn't seem like too much of an acting stretch. One place we haven't seen Penn is by his girlfriend's side for all the Fashion Week fun where Blake's checked out some of what we're sure to see S and B wearing in episodes to come.
Jessica Alba continued to show Honor around NYC yesterday. As the little one opened up her eyes to the wonders of Manhattan, Jessica chatted with another mom around town. Between the Alba-Warren family's attendance at the DNC and Jessica's involvement with Declare Yourself, it's clear that Jess has the country's future on her mind more than ever now that Honor is in the picture. She's not letting her regular career go by the wayside, however, and recently signed on for a new movie. Judging from all of Honor's facial expressions, looks like she's got a little actress in her already.
Josh Hartnett signed autographs in London yesterday, but he doesn't have love for everyone. He's suing the UK's Daily Mirror for claiming there was a security video of him hooking up with a girl in a hotel library. His lawyers called the story "not only untrue but a complete fabrication," and asked for a public apology as well as damages for defamation. Hopefully Josh can stay distracted from all the gossip as he keeps rehearsing for his Rain Main debut, which has been pushed back to Sept. 19.
The Look For Less: Gossip Girl's Serena Van Der Woodsen Last night's episode of Gossip Girl wasn't as juicy as the premiere, but there were enough scrumptious affairs to keep us on our toes until next week. As the Upper East Siders left the Hamptons, Serena and Dan couldn't seem to keep their paws off one another. Her cute party look inspired me to find a similar, cheaper outfit.
Rihanna bundled up for her appearance on The Late Show and looked perfectly chic while waving to her New York fans. She kept things simple in all black but mixed patterns and textures to create a unique look.
