When it comes to period films that involve corsets and longing romantic looks, Keira Knightley is usually, er, queen. But in The Young Victoria she gets some stiff competition from Emily Blunt as a teenage version of the 19th century royal.
Blunt is already up for a Golden Globe for her performance in the film, and it's easy to see why.

Will Young flashed a smile as he arrived at a radio station in Manchester yesterday. He was looking his usual stylish self, but he tried out a new look in his video for "Hopes And Fears": pregnancy! Will attends antenatal classes and decorates the nursery in the video, all with a big baby bump: check out the video after the jump.

Lindsay Lohan played host at the F1 Rocks music festival in Singapore over the weekend. After spending some time exploring the area with Samantha Ronson, LL installed herself in the front row and Twittered up a storm as Beyonce Knowles and the Black Eyed Peas took the stage Friday and No Doubt did their thing on Saturday. Lindsay also complained about being videotaped when she tried to let loose after the shows, decked out in quite the skin-tight outfit.

Emily Blunt and Sarah Ferguson left the front rows of New York and swapped fashion for film at the premiere of The Young Victoria. The Brits were joined at the Toronto Film Festival by Sarah's daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, as well as Emily's costar Rupert Friend. Emily didn't have her new fiance by her side, as John Krasinski was living it up in Los Angeles at the Emmy Awards, and unlike the London premiere Keira Knightley didn't join Rupert, so the gorgeous costars kept each other company on the red carpet.

Youth might be wasted on the young, but according to the CDC, American youths have lost some healthy vigor. While insurance companies refer to young adults, ages 18 to 29, as "young invincibles," this demographic is not as healthy as most of us believe. Here are a few stats compiled by the CDC:
- One-third of this age demographic are cigarette smokers.
- Nearly a quarter of young adults are considered obese.
- Almost two-thirds of 18- to 29-year-olds report having no regular physical activity in their leisure time.
- This group has among the highest injury accident rate leading to ER visits.
Most 20-somethings are not concerned about the long-term effects of their lifestyle habits, but heart disease and diabetes are long-term health conditions that seem to be starting earlier and earlier in the lives of Americans.

Emily Blunt is one of my favourite young British actresses, and as well as taking centre stage on the front cover of Harper's Bazaar this month, she's playing the young Queen Victoria in a new movie about the monarch's early life opposite Keira Knightley's man, Rupert Friend. The movie is simply called The Young Victoria and will be released on March 6, take a look at the trailer and tell me — will you see it or will you skip it?
