Jaime Richards — Thu, 24 May 2012 12:08:00 PDT

Elizabeth Banks looked like she walked straight out of the 1970s for her Allure June cover, and it's thanks to Oribe, editorial hairstylist extraordinaire. Using a Patti Hansen cover from the disco-era for inspiration, as it turns out, the retro-themed style is perfect for modern times, as well. "The fullness at the sides gives it a really interesting, beautiful look," Oribe explained. And because the top is pulled back just a touch, "it's great for Summer to get your bangs off your face," he added. To get the exact four steps for achieving Elizabeth's warm-weather bouffant, read more.

What to Expect When You're Expecting: Brings a Surprising Amount of Belly Laughs

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 18 May 2012 02:00:00 PDT

Ever since Love Actually captured hearts and audiences with its huge cast and sweet intersecting story lines, there's been an overflow of ensemble comedies, and fatigue has officially set in. There are usually too many characters and subplots, and while What to Expect When You're Expecting does have a star-studded cast and a lot going on, it's funnier and more engrossing than most of the movies in the genre.

The characters are all dealing with some aspect of parenthood: there's Cameron Diaz as Jules, a trainer on a Biggest Loser-like show who gets pregnant by her dancing partner (Matthew Morrison) from a Dancing With the Stars-like show. There's Holly and Alex (Jennifer Lopez and Rodrigo Santoro), a couple who resorts to adoption, while Rosie and Marco (Anna Kendrick and Chace Crawford) have a fling that leads to her pregnancy. Elizabeth Banks plays Wendy, a woman who's grateful to finally be expecting but is disappointed when she feels more gross than glowy, and in contrast, her younger mother-in-law (Brooklyn Decker) is having the most effortless pregnancy in history. Sure, it's way too perfect that everyone conceives their children around the same time, but the movie is filled with enough humor and warmth to compensate. To find out what else I thought about What to Expect When You're Expecting, just keep reading.

Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez, in Maria Lucia Hohan, hit the red carpet in LA last night for the West Coast premiere of What to Expect When You're Expecting, which is out in the US Friday. Last week, Cameron debuted the movie in NYC along with a handful of their many costars, like Chris Rock, Chace Crawford, Brooklyn Decker, and Elizabeth Banks. This time around, Cameron had J Lo on her arm for pictures. An Alexander McQueen-clad Elizabeth and Brooklyn, in Giambattista Valli, were also on hand again, as was Wendi McLendon-Covey, Rodrigo Santoro, and Matthew Morrison. J Lo's boyfriend Casper Smart was also seen hurrying down the press line on his way inside Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

We caught up with many of the stars before the screening began. Brooklyn spoke about how wearing a prosthetic belly in the film wasn't great practice for actual motherhood, while new uncle Chace Crawford, whose sister Candice had her first baby in April, said he's personally conflicted about being a real father. Matthew, meanwhile, revealed he's known that Kate Hudson will be on Glee since she spilled the beans at the White House Correspondents' Dinner! Stay tuned for all of our interviews on PopSugar Rush later today.

Cameron, Brooklyn, and Their Costars Bring What to Expect to NYC

Allie Merriam — Wed, 09 May 2012 09:32:00 PDT

The What to Expect When You're Expecting gang convened at the AMC Lincoln Square Theater in NYC last night for their first big premiere. The picture, which is out here in the US on Friday, May 18, is about to get the full attention of stars like Cameron Diaz, Brooklyn Decker, and Jennifer Lopez. Each of the ladies has been busy with other endeavors recently. Brooklyn's doing double-duty chatting up Battleship and Jennifer's in the midst of a crazy season with American Idol. Jet-setting Cameron, meanwhile, recently hit the Met Gala Monday, along with Brooklyn. Brooklyn had the support of pals Chrissy Teigen and Erin Andrews on the red carpet. She tweeted thanks to her pals and also humbly wrote, "I truly still can't believe I'm in this movie." Jennifer's Idol duties kept her on the West Coast, but Cameron made the rounds in the Big Apple saying hi to costars like Chris Rock, Rodrigo Santoro, Chace Crawford, and a Peter Pilotto-clad Elizabeth Banks.

Met Gala: Elizabeth Banks

Brittney Stephens — Mon, 07 May 2012 17:37:06 PDT

If we had to describe Elizabeth Banks's Met Gala look in two words, they would be structured elegance. Then again, we really can't expect anything less from Effie Trinket herself. Elizabeth sported a mixed-media print dress by Mary Katrantzou featuring a high neckline, peplum bodice, and thigh-high slit - the perfect mix of sultry and refined. She also wore a pair of embellished crystal-heel Christian Louboutins that could probably double as a disco ball, if the evening called for it. Are you loving Elizabeth's graphic red-carpet look?

Cameron, Jennifer, and Brooklyn Talk Babies and More With Redbook

Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez share the cover of June's Redbook. The girls posed alongside their What to Expect When You're Expecting leading ladies Brooklyn Decker, Elizabeth Banks, and Anna Kendrick. The parenthood themes of the movie were addressed in the accompanying interview, with J Lo sharing about her experiences after welcoming twins Max and Emme. Brooklyn spoke about her high hopes for husband Andy Roddick as a dad and Cameron touched on how she changed her life plans to accommodate her acting success. For more photos of Jennifer, Cameron, and Brooklyn, check out Redbook's June issue online, or when it hits newsstands on May 15. Here are highlights:

Cameron on expectations: "I thought I was going to be married and have two children by the time I was 21. I think I felt I had to model my life after my mother's. But then my career was starting to take off and there were still so many things I wanted to do. So that dream for me was shattered early on. After that I never put another time line on anything in my life."
Jennifer on the surprises of motherhood: "I remember after the babies were born, about seven to 10 days in, I was like, 'What is going on with me?' I felt sad and depressed and thought the babies didn't love me. I actually remember picking up the book [What to Expect When You're Expecting] to try to see what was happening to me, and it said how you have this huge hormonal drop about seven to 10 days after you give birth. It's called the 'baby blues.' But I just thought they didn't like me!"
Brooklyn on expectations for fatherhood: "I would hope I'm in a position where I have a guy who is going to be helping me all the way through - even when I'm moody and craving ice cream at 12 a.m. It didn't take me long to know that Andy was the guy I was going to marry, and [what kind of dad he'd be] absolutely went through my mind when making that decision."
