Chace Crawford looked windswept and dreamy at the Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge in the Hamptons on Saturday. The actor turned 23 on Friday and joked that he wanted one of the Mercedes prizes from the tournament and world peace as his presents. Multiple celebrations were in order for the b-day boy who flew in friends to party with him, Blake and Penn. Chace might have blown out some candles this weekend but he is still raising the heat all over with the new steamy Gossip Girl ads.
In the Kitchen With Ryan Scott Last week I had the wonderful opportunity of going into the kitchen at San Francisco's Mission Beach Cafe. Chef Ryan Scott, a competitor on this season's Top Chef, invited me in for a crouton cooking lesson. The friendly, good-looking chef told me about his re-creation of the menu and his hopes to build the restaurant's status. With his TC experience behind him, Scott is busy focusing on cooking and making culinary appearances.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner continued on their seemingly never-ending house hunt in LA over the weekend, along with a trip to a doctor (wonder why) and a birthday party for one of Violet's friends. Little Violet apparently isn't much for real estate and skipped the excursion to look for new digs, but judging from the look on Jen and Ben's faces the afternoon wasn't a barrel of fun. Hopefully they'll find their perfect dream home soon — especially if the rumors are true and there's baby No. 2 coming soon! You know, not that it looks like it's any big secret anymore, wink.
Josh Schwartz took the TCA stage today and revealed a few exciting details on Nicole Richie's role in Chuck! In the fourth episode of the season, Sarah heads back to her high school reunion, with Chuck as her date, where she runs into former high school mean girl Nicole, whose husband is played by Ben Savage.
One thing leads to anther and the two women end up in a locker room fight scene! On the scene Zachary Levi told us,
"The shower’s full blast, bloodied, pipes breaking off… and you know it was crazy because Yvonne has been doing the whole fight scene thing for 13 plus episodes, but as far as I know it was Nicole’s first fight… well I don’t know, I didn’t watch The Simple Life, maybe they got crazy… but she was right there, step for step, they rehearsed their butts off, and had all the moves down."
Sounds like so much fun. So tell us, are you excited to see Nicole Richie on Chuck?
Celebrity Style: Hilary Duff Hilary Duff grabbed coffee over the weekend, presumably on her way to a shopping excursion. I'm a big advocate of white jeans and Hil's fit like a glove. Smart girl for wearing tan pumps to elongate her legs. On top, she wore one of Monrow's watercolor tanks in gray and blue.
After spending the weekend with their adorable little girl, leading man Christian Bale had his gorgeous wife on his arm at the London premiere of The Dark Knight. Gorgeous Maggie sexed it up in her revealing jumpsuit but maintained the all black dress code, as did Kelly Osbourne who still showed off some leg. After the amazing record-breaking opening weekend success the movie enjoyed in the states this weekend, we'll have to see how its magic translates overseas. From the looks of it though, The Dark Knight's reign has just begun.
Jenna Dewan walked down the street in Beverly Hills looking extremely chic and poised. Her structured white blazer framed her body perfectly, and paired well over her draped fringe Haute Hippie halter, denim leggings, and over-the-knee brown boots.
