Exclusive Interview: Robert Pattinson Talks About Finding "the One," Edward's Humor and the New Moon Soundtrack!

Molly — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:44:41 -0800

Here it is - our full interview with Robert Pattinson from last weekend's press junket in LA! I was Robert's very last one of the day and I'm so thankful that he waited to give us a few minutes! He opened up about his facial hair, whether or not he believes in "the one" as well as Edward Cullen's serious nature. Plus, his favorite parts of New Moon and whether he'll miss Edward when it's all over.

There's tons more coming up like my chats with Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, The Cullens, The Wolf Pack, The Volturi and director Christopher Weitz. It was a huge honor to be there - and yes, totally nerve-wracking if you can't tell! - and I hope you enjoy and thanks for all your questions!

Leighton and Olivia Step Out Confidently For Gossip Girl Style

Molly — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:30:32 -0800

Leighton Meester posed in a punchy dress with her former costar Nicole Fiscella and Olivia Palermo in NYC last night at the launch party for You Know You Want It: Style-Inspiration-Confidence, a book written by Gossip Girl's costume designer Eric Daman. Leighton supported the man who puts her in so many fabulous clothes, which she was once again showing off on the set yesterday with Ed Westwick and a surprising reappearing costar. She, Olivia, and Nicole all looked fantastic on the red carpet and inside the party, so maybe they learned a thing or two from the book they were out to help promote. We caught up with Eric earlier this week at the ACE Awards, where he shared a little about dressing the show's stars:

On who's most enthusiastic about their wardrobes: "Everyone goes with the flow. Blake has a little more opinions on it, because she's very body-conscious and knows what looks great on her. She's been in front of the cameras long enough to be able to say, 'This would be better if it was a half inch shorter' - which is great. It's a dream as a costume designer to have someone, who's like, 'Lets do this!'"
On dressing the guys: "The guys are pretty into it. The guys just want to look good when it comes down to it, which is pretty easy. Chuck/Ed is really into it - he really likes to look amazing and he has been one of my favorites from day one. To be able to play with menswear in the way that we do and pioneer that men get to dress better, and that it's OK to wear a bow tie and a pink shirt and not be too gay about it."

Stars Come Together to Earn Money and Give Away Kisses For a Good Cause in San Francisco

PopSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:00:54 -0700

Charlize Theron looked beautiful on the red carpet last night at ONEXONE's annual fundraiser in San Francisco. The man of the night Matt Damon sadly had to miss it, as he headed back to Boston for a family emergency, but many other stars were happy to lend a hand to the good cause. We chatted with David Arquette about Coco, after he spent the day at the food bank for Feeding America, and Jeremy Piven who had nothing but great things to say about Matt. Inside the event, Charlize even sold a kiss for $140,000! Here's more:

Charlize Theron on bringing Matt Damon's organization and her charity together for the gala: "We reached out to ONEXONE seeing if they wanted to help us out. We have massive issues with fresh water sources in the area we work with in our schools. The next step for us was to build soccer fields. We have the World Cup next year so it just felt right, but there was something wrong about building soccer fields and knowing that a lot of these kids don't have access to running water. Somebody told me about what Matt does, his work with ONEXONE and I was blown away. So I reached out and he was like we would love to be involved."
Jeremy Piven on Matt's appearance on Entourage: "It was amazing. Matt really gets it. He made it so funny. He played just this really weird, twisted, evil version of himself. His heart was in the right place, but his methods of going about things were really really wrong. And in that way I think he's a comedic genius."

Josh Groban on his guest spot on Glee: "They asked me to make a cameo and I was like sure, but can you make me creepy or something. I'm tired of playing the vanilla guy. Make me a jerk or something, like Matt on Entourage. Give me something I can really sink my teeth into. It was really amazing. To see so many great theater actors on a hit TV show was really cool for me since my background is in theater. It's amazing to see people like Kristin Chenowith and Matthew Morrison on the show. Such a great group of talented people."
Jeremy Piven on being picking up the slack while Matt is away for the night: "I'm absolutely ready! Whatever it takes. That's what's fun about us all being in this together for ONEXONE. We have each others backs which is really, really great. When Matt appeared on Entourage it was basically a 40-minute infomercial for ONEXONE, and I was honored to even be a small part of this event tonight."

Paula, LC, and Whitney Party in True Diva Style

PopSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:00:00 -0700

Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port hit the red carpet at last night's VH1 Divas Live, and they were still in their glitzy dresses for the afterparty. We chatted with LC about her plans to bring her book, LA Candy, to the big screen, and she said, "I can't talk about it right now . . . but the books are going really well - I just finished the second book. I'm actually working on outlining the third right now. It's moving along!" Meanwhile, Whitney Port weighed in on what inspired her first runway show at Fashion Week. Paula Abdul was fashionably late after hosting the show - click here to see the video - sweeping into the bash with a large entourage before heading off to bust a move in the VIP area.

VH1 Divas: Miley Calls Kanye Disrespectful, True Blood's Sam Takes on Twilight's Jacob, and Paula Channels Ellen!

PopSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 07:45:00 -0700

The star-studded VH1 Divas kicked off last night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and new diva-inductees like Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks, Miley Cyrus, and Kelly Clarkson walked the red carpet in their glamorous gowns. Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port looked gorgeous and sparkly, and we'll have more on LC's possible LA Candy movie deal later. Miley weighed in on the Taylor/Kanye incident, calling him out as disrespectful. Kelly also had some things to say about it as well as the Paula/Ellen change on American Idol. Sam Trammell, who plays Sam Merlotte on True Blood, also told us he thinks his shape-shifter character could take on Taylor Lautner's Jacob - check out the interviews below!

Paula Abdul opened the night with a surprise performance and jokingly introduced the live show saying "I'm Paula Abdul and this is NOT American Idol." Later in the night she came out dressed as Ellen DeGeneres, dancing across the stage before saying "All kidding aside - [I have] nothing but love for Ellen, and I wish you the best of luck and congratulations on your new gig." There were many performances and duets to enjoy, like Jennifer Hudson and Stevie Wonder, as well as solos by all the divas like Jordin Sparks. Check out our interviews with Miley, Kelly, and Sam after the jump, and stay tuned for more from PopSugar Rush on the night's events!

To read the interviews and see TONS more photos, just read more.

Miley on Taylor/Kanye VMA incident: "I think it's just disrespectful so I think the best thing is - I probably would have done what [Taylor] did and just walk away from it because she looks better than he does."
Sam on Sam Merlotte vs. Jacob Black: "Is he tall? I think he's really tall . . . Oh is that just in the movie? I could probably take him because I could just turn into some huge animal and just take him. Yeah, I could just turn into a big bull and take him."
Kelly on whether she has words of encouragement for Taylor Swift: "I don't think she needs any. She handled it really well and she's just a really sweet girl. I love Taylor and she knows I do. I keep asking her to write me some songs, I love her writing. The whole situation in general was the straw that broke the camel's back. Not only that situation. Unfortunately Kanye was the straw that broke the camel's back. But there's a lot of crappy things that go on in the industry and it's just not right. This is supposed to be fun. We're not scientists, we're not doing anything mind-blowing. We should all be having fun and complimenting each other and lifting each other up. I don't get it."
Kelly on taking stage with Paula, and Paula leaving Idol: "I'm used to that! We've been doing off and on for seven years; we all end up at the same shows. So I'm so used to seeing her everywhere. I don't even know enough about [Paula leaving Idol] but I think she's probably ready. I mean they've done like nine seasons. It's pretty cool she's going off and doing something on her own and right after it she's hosting VH1 Divas. Oh my God, she's performing and I saw rehearsals and it's insane. I'm like a 12-year-old again and singing 'Straight Up.' We're all dying backstage."

PopSugar Exclusive - Kristin Talks About John Mayer, Whitney and Lo on Their Shows, Stacie and Justin Bobby?!

PopSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 11:00:23 -0700

Lots of ladies from The Hills and The City hit the red carpet at last night's MTV VMAs. We chatted a little with the shows' stars about all the changes to come this season, with LBD clad Whitney Port and Lo Boswoth sharing some previews. Kristin Cavallari addressed her rumored romance with John Mayer, while Stacie Hall - aka Stacie the bartender - revealed one rather big spoiler. Here's more:

Kristin on allegedly dating John Mayer: "It's funny because I've met him one time, for 5 seconds at a big press event like this. I don't know, it's always funny how these rumors get started."
Stacie on what to expect from her next season: "I find myself in a lot, a lot of drama I didn't think I was a dramatic person. . . definitely with boys. That's gonna happen. . . "
Could it be Justin Bobby? "Maybe. . . (smiles)."
Lo on next season: "You're going to see a lot of new female faces - not just Kristin. You're going to see new troublemakers, which you know, it kind of makes me a little uncomfortable! I've kind of been there since the beginning, and I want it to be exactly what it was and it's not anymore."
Stephanie on Heidi and Spencer's baby plans: "I was with them and they started talking about freezing eggs and stuff, and I was like, "Ew, you guys! I'm right here.'"

For more quotes from all the girls about next season, including Whitney discussing Jay, and Kristin's romance status, just read more.

Kristin:

On what we can expect on this season of The Hills: "Little bit of drama, there's always relationship drama. Not just with me, with kind of everybody. A little love triangle I guess is happening. . . I'm excited for everyone to see my side of the story, and my point of view because everything is not always as it seems."
On keeping in touch with LC: "I'm filming with Lo, who lives with her, so we get updated. . . but I don't see her too often, I really don't. But there's no bad blood there."

Whitney:

About her new costars: "Everyone is very different, and not in a good or bad way. Everyone plays off of each other, in a very dramatic kind of feeling.
On Jay returning to The City: "I'm not sure, to be perfectly honest. I mean, he is my friend and he's in and out of my life. But I haven't seen any of the episodes yet, so. . . "

Stephanie:

On what's coming up with her: "I'm a serial dater. I don't have a boyfriend - I want to date every single guy ever. But, I will play the bad cop, there's so much BS between the girls, I will call them out."
On Stacy's comments about Justin Bobby: "She needs a publicist to tell her not to talk about the show! Yeah, it gets nuts."

Stacie:

On if we'll see lots more of her this season: "Yeah, it's weird. Like on the last season, I didn't even mean to be on it - it was unintentional. Now I'm in the group!"

Frankie Delgado also chatted with us about the ongoing issue between Brody Jenner, his girlfriend Jayde Nicole and Joe Francis, saying that her face is all better after the alleged assault a few weeks ago. That won't be a part of the season, but we're sure to see lots more of them all when The Hills is back in just fifteen days!

Gwen Talks New No Doubt Songs and Concerts Abroad

PopSugar — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 09:00:48 -0700

Gwen Stefani left her Spring 2010 L.A.M.B presentation and headed to Bloomingdale's yesterday to host an autograph signing for Fashion's Night Out - see her look here. The woman who conceived the event, Anna Wintour, stopped by as well, and the two fashion icons laughed and posed as Anna told Gwen about the international praise she's already received for The September Issue. We had the chance to speak to Gwen for an exclusive interview, where she hinted at a new fragrance line and told us No Doubt is hard at work in the studio. Here's more:

On her tour experience: "The tour was incredible. We played for almost a million people. It was the time of our lives, and every show was just really mind blowing, very emotional. It's kind of hard to believe and take it all in, but it's very inspiring. We were never planning to go on tour, it was just like on the fly - let's go! It was really spontaneous. So now we are trying to go back into the studio and write some music. We have a few more things: we are going to Russia and we are going to Singapore this month. They are just kind of one-off [performances] and then we are going to get serious about doing some songwriting. We were in the studio last week and tried some stuff."
On new No Doubt singles: "Well it's not a finished song, but we got it started and it was fun. Before we left I was in a little bit of a rut, but I don't feel like that anymore. I gained energy [from the tour]."
On the best lesson she's learned from being a mother of two: "How much easier my life was before? No I'm kidding, they are the best thing ever and we have so much fun together . . . It was fun [having them on tour]. It was really fun, but hard."

Stay tuned on more from Gwen about choosing her outfits for her tour and a possible new perfume!
