Gallery: CFDA Awards Summon The Olsens, SJP And Jessica Biel

Purportedly, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Awards are supposed to celebrate the people who make the glitterati sparkle. But despite the multitude of A-listers at the event last night in New York, the color scheme for this year is either “beige” or “totally insane.” No in-between. (Editor’s Note: Totally insane? How about awesome! The daring designs look fantastic). On one side you have Alexa Chung and Alexis Bledel; on the other, Sarah Jessica Parker and Jessica Biel…. More »

Video: Dakota Fanning Is Really Creepy In 'Twilight: Eclipse'

Like her role has already been made bigger for the pint-sized actress playing Jane, the centuries-old member of the Volturi vampire royalty. But look her go! She’s like a mini-Darth Vader with red eyes, and a flippant regard for human life. “Decisions, decisions,” indeed.

Dakota Fanning Gets A Head-Start On College

They grow up so fast, don’t they? Like just yesterday, Dakota Fanning was just that little girl playing opposite Sean Penn’s Academy Award bait in I Am Sam, and now she’s been spotted touring Gallatin, New York University’s independent studies program.

Or maybe Taylor’s wild-and-surly streak has influenced the GG writers, who we’ve noticed are more and more willing to make Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) look like a douche. Hmmmmmm. Anyways! Here are the photos of Taylor’s punky-bad self at this weekend’s press conference for the Vans Warped… More »

Chris Evans: Will He Finally Happen?

After years of being relegated to the “hot boyfriend” role in romantic comedies and the “generic buff guy” second lead in action movies, Chris Evans is finally getting his big break as Captain America in a three-movie deal with Marvel Entertainment. What does that mean for the actor, who, despite a list of IMDb credits nearly 30 deep and a main role in the Fantastic Four franchise, is still not a household name?

Well, hopefully, after the first Captain America movie… More »

Well, it doesn’t really matter, does it? It’s not like they need to carry a tune for this particular song. It’s more like rhythmic chanting.
