Fab Flash: Christina Aguilera, Jewelry Muse
Christina's friend, London jeweler Stephen Webster, is introducing a new sterling-silver collection inspired by the songbird. The Stephen Webster Silver Collection is full of silver rings, cuffs, pendants, and earrings inlaid with gemstones ($343-$3,528), made to look like broken stained glass, and will launch next month at Neimans.
Ellen Page got to work it as a flirty tomboy for the March issue of Interview magazine. She's definitely been having quite the year since her breakout role in Juno. In addition to being a cover girl, Miss Page will also get to walk the red carpet at the Oscars this Sunday after earning a nomination for best actress. In the magazine, Drew Barrymore (her future director) did the honors of interviewing Ellen, quizzing her on everything from her success to her love life to her favorite color. Here are highlights:
DB: "What's your idea of a perfect day?" EP: "Lord. I don't know. Maybe wake up, have some delicious coffee, eat some delicious fruit, then go for a bike ride to a lake and bring a good book. And read and swim and read and swim — just something super simple, I guess. Mellow."
Drew Barrymore: "And what about the next five years? What are your aspirations?" Ellen Page: "I hesitate about having aspirations that are too intense, because I just don't know what's going to happen. As corny as it sounds, I guess the answer would be remaining as honest as possible and having the control to play roles that are fulfilling and challenging to me and that I feel passionate about. And I hope, in the next five years, that's going to be something I'll be able to do consistently."
DB: "What's most surreal about your life?" EP: "Well, I did Oprah yesterday, and then I went to the NBR [National Board of Review] Awards last night and met Kate Winslet, whom I adore. I was all star-struck and trying to be supercool, but she came over to me!

The writers' strike definitely put a damper on our award shows this season, but luckily it ended just in time to keep our beloved Oscars intact. We're already counting down to the big night, and we can't wait to see who goes home with those gold statues. Plus, we can't wait to give away our own prizes. So tell us — which part of the Oscars are you most excited for?
Martha Says Bam! Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia announced this morning that they bought the rights to the Emeril franchise. Their deal — currently at $50 million, but could potentially be valued at $70 million — will include Emeril's cookbooks, tv shows, food products, kitchen products, and cookware. The deal is not including his eleven restaurants.
Drew Barrymore looks virtually unrecognizable on the March cover of Vogue. Seriously, talk about being dead in the eyes — and that stare is coming from one of the spunkiest actresses out there. I mean, her wax figure was unveiled in London this weekend, and it looks more alive than she does here. Anyway, hopefully the inside spread will show off more of the Drew we love, and at least her personality and tenacity shines through in the interview. She said:
"I think I had some mechanism in my head that said, 'If you don't pull it together for yourself, no one else will.'. . . That's coming from a person who had to try it all . . . and who still loves to have a good time . . . I do believe in 'Work hard, play hard,' but 'Work hard' always comes first, and it did even when I was wild and young."
While there's no question that Drew is a career-minded woman — acting, producing, and now directing — considering how often we've been seeing her lovely dovey times with Justin Long recently, it seems she's found some time to play too. Check out more from Drew when the issue hits newsstands on Wednesday.
Kate Moss Receives Unpleasant Welcome Home Surprise? Kate Moss and boyfriend Jamie Hince arrived back at her North London home yesterday after yet another holiday (those two certainly like to get away from it all) but they might have received a nasty welcome home gift. There are rumours that Kate's St John's Wood house was vandalised while she was away.
We were psyched to finally catch another glimpse of the whole Jolie-Pitt crew yesterday, but today we're kicking it up a notch. Brad and Angelina bundled up their brood to hit the slopes in Mammoth over the weekend — never too early to put those little ones on skis. Of course, badass Maddox jumped right ahead to snowboarding, while Pax tested out his ski skills. Maybe later on this week, we can even get a glimpse of the whole cute family drinking hot chocolate together.
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.
