Love It or Hate It? Hilary Swank's Retro Bouffant
If you don't believe that big hair is back, here's pouf — er, proof. Last night at the Hollywood Awards, the always-soignée Hilary Swank appeared wearing a bouffant worthy of Ladybird Johnson. (Hers wasn't even the only crunchy-meets-sleek look of the night, just the most voluminous.) Hilary's long been known for a certain brand of demure elegance, and while this look was certainly classy, it was also a lot more formal and constructed than we usually see her hair.
Ed Westwick Tugs at Jessica, Ashley and Hilary's Heartstrings
Ed Westwick hosted a party for the opening of artist Todd DiCiurcio's "Heartstrings" exhibition at the Confederacy store in Los Angeles on Saturday night. He was joined on his trip to the West Coat by Jessica Szohr and their fellow Gossip Girl star Hilary Duff, and the trio looked like they enjoyed some time off from filming scenes in New York. Ashley Greene also looked thrilled to hang out before heading to the U2 concert on Sunday night.
Amelia: Never Really Takes Flight
I love the way a biopic makes me feel — like I'm treated to a back-in-time look at an amazing life. They're epic, and that's why I'm willing to sit through the slow moments (and often for more than two hours) for the payoff. This is the experience I hoped for from Amelia, directed by Mira Nair and starring Hilary Swank as the pioneering aviator who was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
Ewan McGregor's Out in New York to Air Amelia
Ewan McGregor was looking gorgeous on the red carpet yesterday as he attended the New York premiere of his new movie Amelia. Hilary Swank stars as Amelia Earhart in the biopic, and looked gorgeous in her green dress as she posed alongside costars Ewan and Richard Gere. Directed by Mira Nair, the film is not out in the UK until November 13, but I'm very much looking forward to seeing Ewan back on the big screen — check out the trailer under the cut and let me know if you'll see it or skip it!
Hilary Mantel Has Won the Booker Prize
Hilary Mantel has won the 2009 Man Booker Prize for Wolf Hall. The historical novel is based on Henry VIII's adviser Thomas Cromwell, and it took Hilary 20 years to decide to write it. The original long list of 13 books was whittled down to a shortlist of six, and Hilary beat JM Coetzee, Sarah Waters, AS Byatt, Adam Foulds and Simon Mawer to win the £50,000 prize at London's Guildhall last night.
Reebok Promises to Make Your Boobs Jealous of Your Butt — Hilarious or Horrifying?
On its website, Reebok claims that its new line of EasyTone shoes, which are displayed against the backdrop of a naked woman, will help you make 88 percent of men speechless and 76 percent of women jealous. Hoping to drum up some hype for these kicks, Reebok has also unveiled a whole slew of commercials touting the shoes' butt-toning abilities. In this commercial, Reebok pitches the shoes by reducing a faceless woman to two talking breasts.

Penn, Hilary, Chace & Jess Have Lots to Talk About on Set
Hilary Duff was back on the set of Gossip Girl this morning with costars Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford and Jessica Szohr. Duff's Olivia was a welcome new addition last night and managed to grab Dan's — and our — attention in her hot black and gold dress. We also couldn't help but be distracted by the amazing hotel room where Serena dealt with Tyra Banks's diva character.
One Week Until Gossip Girl Season Three Hits The UK!
Hilary Duff, Taylor Momsen, Jessica Szohr and Penn Badgley were continuing to film Gossip Girl yesterday in New York City, shooting scenes for the third season of the show which is currently airing in the US. Season two was released on DVD this week, and ITV recently announced that they will be showing series 3 on ITV2 from October 7!

Celebrity Style: Hilary Duff
What a cutie! Although, I think Hilary is trying to shed that image - remember her daring minidress at the Grammys? And here, she is pairing a very Spring-like trench with rocker black skinnies; totally digging this look btw.
