Kate Bosworth Does a Fashionable Day Date With Her Man Michael Polish, Olivia Wilde, and Busy Philipps

Katie Henry — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 14:01:59 PDT

Kate Bosworth, wearing Proenza Schouler's Spring/Summer 2012 collection, joined boyfriend Michael Polish, Olivia Wilde, Busy Philipps, and Dianna Agron at Vogue's 2011 CFDA Fashion Fund finalist celebration at LA's Chateau Marmont yesterday. Kate and Michael have been constant companions over the past few months, and in addition to their romantic trip to France he also recently accompanied her to a taping of Chelsea Lately. Olivia chose a flirty floral dress for the cocktail reception then changed into a sexy black Yigal Azrouël gown for her red-carpet arrival at last night's In Time premiere.

Busy selected a trendy mint wrap dress for the event and recently told us she's considering recycling last year's homemade Tinkerbell costume for Halloween for her big night of trick-or-treating with daughter Birdie. Fresh off her win at last weekend's Scream Awards, newcomer Chloe Moretz was also on hand for the soiree as were Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss and actress Michelle Monaghan.

Dianna, Kate, and Michelle Celebrate Vogue's Fashion Fund Finalists - Who's Most Fab?

Chi Diem Chau — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 09:45:08 PDT

Last night, celebs stepped out in style to celebrate the 2011 CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund finalists at Chateau Marmont. We spied three particularly fashionable ladies in the crowd: Dianna Agron made an appearance wearing a black and white printed dress by Libertine paired with point-toe pumps and a pretty wavy hairdo. Kate Bosworth showed off her abs in a two-piece ensemble by Proenza Schouler paired with black accessories and a poppy orange lip. Meanwhile, Michelle Monaghan opted for a minimally modern look comprised of a colorblock skirt and simple tee. Each of the attendees offers her own spin on Fall dressing, but which look do you like best?

Michelle, Georgina, and Bar Light Up the Whitney Gala in Marchesa - Who's Most Fab?

Hannah Weil — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 08:08:45 PDT

Last night's Whitney Gala brought out femme, frothy confections on three of the night's gorgeous attendees. It's no coincidence that Michelle Monaghan, Georgina Chapman, and Bar Refaeli's intricately glam creations are all Marchesa - the design house is a favorite for beautifully ornate gowns like these. Still, it makes picking a favorite that much harder. Each stunned in her own right: Michelle in a shimmery, white peplum-trimmed dress; Georgina in a sculptural, statement-red strapless; and Bar in an delicately tiered, champagne-hued gown. It's not easy, but we want to know who gets your vote for most Fab?

Who Had the Best Look of the Week?

Miriam Lacey — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 08:01:00 PDT

The Emmys may be over, but that doesn't mean celebrities were any less stylish this week. Michelle Monaghan went auburn and complemented her color with gorgeous fire-engine red lips; Beyoncé had that mommy-to-be glow and a hip textured French braid; and Zoe Saldana made the case for barely there makeup. Of these three lovely ladies, which do you think had the look of the week?

Gerard Butler Says Shooting Machine Gun Preacher Made Him Feel Like He Had Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 12:13:32 PDT

Gerard Butler stars in this week's new release Machine Gun Preacher as Sam Childers, a man who left a life of crime and drug addiction to devote himself to his children who'd been affected by the violent attacks of the Lord's Resistance Army in the Sudan. Butler, who also serves as executive producer, and his costar Michelle Monaghan, who plays Sam's wife Lynn, chatted with us during a recent press day in San Francisco. They talked about what it was like portraying real people, how Butler prepared for the role, and the difficulties he endured while filming some of the more disturbing scenes in Africa.

Did you know about Sam's story, and what did you think of the title when you heard it?
Gerard Butler: It was my agent who'd heard about it for a long time, and he loved it, was very passionate about it for a long time. He pitched the story to me, so I immediately connected Machine Gun Preacher with a guy who fought for children in the Sudan. I like the [title] Machine Gun Preacher, I think it's very catchy, but I think that it allows the movie to reveal the far deeper, interesting, more complex story. And yet to let people know that it's a crazy ass movie at the same time. He's a crazy ass guy, a hell of a powerful adventurer as well. I didn't know about it before, and [then] I wanted everyone to know about it.

Michelle Monaghan: I mean obviously, I got the script and saw Machine Gun Preacher, and I was intrigued - come on! I was completely inspired when I'd read it. This is definitely a project I wanted to be a part of, and certainly knowing that Gerry was on board to tell his story, as was Marc Forster, only cemented the idea of being a part of it even more.

Machine Gun Preacher: Target Missed

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 03:05:00 PDT

Machine Gun Preacher is one part biopic, one part agenda film, but it's not satisfying in either respect. Gerard Butler stars as Sam Childers, an ex-convict who finds his calling in the form of helping orphans in Sudan, victims of the violent acts of the Lord's Resistance Army. Michelle Monaghan costars as Lynn, his frustrated wife trying to turn her life around. The film follows Sam back and forth from his home in Pennsylvania to the Sudan as he attempts to aid its citizens.

When we first meet Sam, he has just been released from prison, and he immediately goes back to what he was doing before he landed in jail: drinking, doing drugs, and committing crimes. After he almost kills a man while on a bender, Sam takes it as a sign and starts going to church. When he finds out about the plight of children in Africa, he travels overseas and sets about trying to help, eventually founding a refuge for the Sudanese kids. While the story itself is powerful, the subject matter of Sudan loses the spotlight in favor of the grandiose personality of its main character. To find out more, just keep reading

Machine Gun Preacher Pair Michelle Monaghan and Gerard Butler Get Close and Share the Spotlight

Lindsay Miller — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 14:05:22 PDT

Michelle Monaghan, clad in a lace-print Prada dress, joined Gerard Butler at Saturday night's Creative Coalition Spotlight Initiative Awards dinner, where she was honored by the nonprofit. The actors both headed north for the Toronto Film Festival as they readied for yesterday's debut of their film Machine Gun Preacher. The movie stars Gerard in the role of Sam Childers, a real-life reformed drug dealer turned humanitarian. Gerard has been getting emotional as he does interviews for the project lately, and Michelle told us his tearful talks don't come as a surprise to her. She said: "The subject matter is really emotional and it's an intense subject matter . . . I think anybody that's seen this movie thus far, anyone that's seen it and commented on it, is visibly, visibly moved . . . [Gerard] sat with this movie for a good year, so it's incredibly important to him, and as it should be. He's so phenomenal in it. He's incredible." The admiration was clearly mutual between Michelle and Gerard - the duo posed for pictures with their arms around each other before sitting down to dinner with fellow actors like Anna Kendrick and Juliette Lewis.

Gerard Butler Is a Macho Man With a Mission in the Machine Gun Preacher Trailer

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 08:50:21 PDT

Gerard Butler never seems to stray far from the tough-guy persona he solidified in his breakout role in 300; however, in the trailer for Machine Gun Preacher, he adds a softer side. In this real-life story, Butler plays Sam Childers, a biker and drug dealer who's up to his ears in trouble until he decides to reform his life. He takes off for Africa, leaving his lifestyle and family behind (including his wife, played by Michelle Monaghan).

He ultimately finds his calling in helping Sudanese children, and he goes about finding a sanctuary (the Angels of East Africa rescue organization) to prevent the land's youth from being forced into the army or sex slavery. Though the preview gets a bit treacly toward the end with the inspirational music and captions, the movie seems like it might be a powerful look at how one man's desire to change himself brought about greater change for the world. Machine Gun Preacher comes out Sept. 23, but watch the trailer when you

A Celeb-Inspired Search For the Perfect Spring Shirtdress

Hannah Weil — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 13:35:17 PDT

As evidenced by the styled renditions from Fearne Cotton, Michelle Monaghan, Carey Mulligan, and Rebecca Romijn - the versatility of a shirtdress can't be overstated, and, likewise, overworn. We love how the style gets continually reinvented in everything from a retro, printed, or denim silhouette to the military-inspired variety. Indeed, there's something for everyone to slip into to take you to the office, cocktails, and beyond.

Jake Gyllenhaal Celebrates His Opening Weekend With Lots of Laughs

Lauren Turner — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 11:52:42 PDT

Jake Gyllenhaal had a busy Saturday night in NYC as he checked out the hit Broadway musical The Book of Mormon and also made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live. He's been on the East Coast promoting his exciting new action movie, Source Code, with a stop by Good Morning America, a screening alongside costar Michelle Monaghan, and a chat with Jon Stewart. Jake and Michelle made a final push for the project on Friday when they participated in an event at the Apple Store in SoHo, and it looks like their hard work paid off since the film made a strong showing during its opening weekend at the box office.
