New Gossip: Diane Kruger, Nicole Ritchie and more

Hello,

Life has been a little crazy, I took 3 weeks off during Christmas break and my sister and I have a business (Splurge for the Senses) line of bath, beauty, gluten free baking and knitted hats etc. that keeps us busy. We finished our Christmas season and are now creating a new line of products.

Since it's been awhile since I posted I'll make this jam packed.

Diane Kruger featured in Glamour

Diane Kruger showed her signature style on the cover of March's Glamour. She's making the press rounds to chat up her new film Unknown, which features January Jones and Liam Neeson, ahead of its release on Feb. 18. Conversation in her interview transitioned from her work to her personal life, though, with Diane confessing her thoughts on marriage and her l

ove of fashion for both herself and boyfriend Joshua Jackson. She said:

• On what she learned from marrying young: "Without sounding pessimistic, I learned that I don't believe in marriage. I believe in a commitment that you make in your heart. There's no paper that will make you stay."
• On Josh's sense of style: "We go shopping. But he likes it. I definitely wasn't fond of these blue sneakers that he wore all the time for about a year and a half."
• On her biggest fashion splurge: "The biggest fashion purchase I ever made I thought about for six years. I'm not kidding. All my life I wanted to own an Hermès Constance bag, and when I signed with Calvin Klein, I decided this was the time that I could afford it. I truly broke a sweat when I paid for it."

Nicole Richie in Red

Nicole Richie was ready to face the cold temperatures in London today when she touched down at Heathrow airport. The mother of two is off on a trip to England breaking from work on her new Winter Kate designs, though she'll be in NYC next week to show them off during Fall Fashion Week. Nicole seems happy about her latest European adventure, tweeting upon arrival, "London calling! Feels good to be back." She will likely be able to meet up with her husband, Joel Madden, who has been touring Europe with his band, Good Charlotte. He's prepping for a show tonight in Paris, then is heading straight to London.

Vanity Fair's Hollywood Issue

Vanity Fair's annual Hollywood Issue is full of some of the town's A-List, with Ryan Reynolds,Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway and James Franco on the forefront of the cover. The special fold-out section features more celebs like Jennifer Lawrence, Anthony Mackie, Olivia Wilde, Jesse Eisenberg, Mila Kunis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Andrew Garfield, Rashida Jones, Garrett Hedlund, and Noomi Rapace. The shoot, which took place in December, actually gave Oscars hosts Anne and James a chance to meet. When asked how it was possible that they'd never crossed paths, Anne said in the accompanying behind-the-scenes video, "I don't know! Well, he's always in school and I don't go do any of the schools that he goes to." Inception leading man Joseph, meanwhile, weighed in on the accumulated star power and commented, "Everyone was really cool. I don't know how many of us there were, like ten people, and everyone was really smart and sweet and I met a bunch of people for the first time. I was actually surprised. Everyone was so nice!" The issue hits newsstands nationwide on Feb. 8, but before then check out the magazine's firsthand account of the scene.

Gwyneth Paltrow in Bazaar magazine

Gwyneth Paltrow played cover girl for the upcoming issue of Harper's Bazaar UK, and the full feature appears in the March issue on sale Thursday, Feb. 3. She lounged on a red chair in the accompanying shoot from photographer Alexi Lubomirski, and in her interview she spoke about her work on Country Strong and took on those who hate on her GOOP newsletter. Gwyneth also shared about her love for pal Beyoncé Knowles, whom the actress refers to as "the most talented human being on the planet." She said:

• On Beyoncé's performance advice for Country Strong: "Beyoncé is the most talented human being on the planet. She has so much mastery over what she does. It’s not even confidence — it’s on a whole other level. It’s mind-blowing. I watched her (perform) a lot to see how she did it, and I was like 'Sh*t! I can’t do that!'"
• On performing at the Country Music Awards: "Two weeks before I did it, I was dying. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t eat. I was like, 'Why would I say yes to this? What is wrong with me? What kind of maniac would agree to do this?' It was one of those nights I’ll look back on and think, 'Wow, I can’t believe I actually pulled that off.'"
• On how she tackled her Country Strong role: "I had the best time doing it. It’s rare that you read a role that’s so juicy and complicated, and also so sweet and human. Kelly has a good heart. I just loved how real she is . . . Alcoholism is such a vicious cycle and Robert (Downey Jr) really helped me understand it. I understand how you can do something bad for you because I smoked forever. I smoked even when my dad had throat cancer. I was like 'I know this is probably going to kill me, but I’m going to smoke it anyway.' But I didn’t understand wrecking other people’s lives, and then kind of just waking up and tying your shoes. So he helped me figure that out."

Sandra Bullock at the NYC Show

Sandra Bullock wore short pants and furry boots on her way to the gym in NYC yesterday. She stayed put on the East Coast while many of her Hollywood contemporaries convened in LA for the SAGs on Sunday. The show was part of Sandra's amazing 2010 award season run, and she also shared a moment on stage with last year's lifetime achievement honoree Betty White. Sandra couldn't be there to continue to celebrate Betty when she took home the statue for outstanding female actor in a comedy series over the weekend. Sandra was in the spotlight at the Golden Globes earlier this month, where she dispelled rumors that she's dating newly single Ryan Reynolds. Ryan might not even be ready to move on himself since he was apparently spotted dining out with ex Scarlett Johansson at a romantic restaurant recently.

Hollywood's biggest stars from TV and film pulled out all the stops for Sunday's SAG Awards.Mila Kunis won your praise in a strapless Alexander McQueen gown, while Mad Men's sexy starlet Christina Hendricks belted her sequin dress to accentuate her assets. Hairstyles and makeup trends varied from romantic to modern, and the good times continued late into the night at star-studded afterparties. Check out more here.

Blogger's sidenote: I loved Ms. Pillsbury's look.

Brad Pitt News

Brad Pitt looked hot in a black leather jacket on his way through LAX this evening. He was catching a flight out of town after spending the last few weeks on the West Coast with the rest of the Jolie-Pitt clan. The family shared a sushi dinner date and Angelina was spottedwith Pax and twins Vivienne and Knox on separate outings. Brad and Angelina managed to slip in a couple's night when they stepped out in style at the Golden Globes. The busy parents kept the party going after the show, despite Angelina not winning for her work in The Tourist.

Natalie Portman and Colin Firth continued their award season winning streaks at last night'sSAGs in LA.

Anne Hathaway shares her feelings on playing Oscars host and gets some advice on her big gig from Jamie Foxx at a press event to start promoting Rio at Fox Studios in LA on Friday.

The Latest News

Jessica Has Fun and Celebrates her Birithday with Eric Johson


Jessica looks like she is enjoying herself on the Italian island of Capri. Her new boyfriend is cute too. I'm think her dress is to sheer for my personal taste and think she should have worn something under it or something less sheer. I like the cool braid in her hair too. Oh how I'd like to be in Capri.

"Gossip Girl" Fans, Take a Look


Blake Lively and Leighton Meester are shooting scenes for "Gossip Girl" in Paris. It's the fourth season and their will be some new costars appearing and lots of juicy gossip I'm sure.

While they were in Paris they were able to catch some couture shows and saw Chanel and Blake went to a dinner for Valentino.

Are You A Fan of The City? Don't read this if you aren't caught up on the latest episode.


The latest episode has Roxy Olin moving out of Whitney's apartment as they got into a big fight earlier on. Whitney seemed so surprised that Roxy was moving out so fast but she told her to move out so what did she expect exactly?

I think it's better for the both of them. Kelly kept telling them not to hang out so much at work but did they listen? Of course not and now this has happened. I think in her own way Roxy tried to be helpful but she seemed to hinder Whitney's progress as a designer.

I'm curious to see how next week's finale will unfold. Here is the recap of this week's episode

Until next time,

Alice by Avril Lavigne

I came across this new video by Avril and thought it was a bit different from her previous style. You can still recognize her signature voice though.

A Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I saw two great stories on the news tonight that I thought I'd post here:


Beauty in Bridges:

More about Ted Zoli:

As a structural engineer, he also has led the design of elegant and enduring bridges around the world. He is an expert on long-span, cable-supported bridges. He has played a key role in the creation of a number of contemporary structures, including the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge in Boston and the Blennerhassett Island Bridge over the Ohio River near Parkersburg, W.Va. Closer to Princeton, he has collaborated with noted Swiss engineer Christian Menn on the design of Streicker Bridge, the University's new pedestrian span being installed over Washington Road.

Time flies when your busy

Needless to say it's been a crazy year. Our entire fully furnished basement was flooded back in June 2009 by our neighbour's pool. If you don't know the story you can check it out here as originally posted by my sister. The renovations are still ongoing and there is still a lot of furniture to replace but it's much better than it was an hopefully will be a soon distant memory.

Then to top it all off we are still in the midst of making soaps, lotions, knitted hats, candles etc. and that hasn't stopped. I work a full time job on top of all this and so suffice to say why this blog hasn't been updated in awhile.

Lea Michelle will be singing Madonna and Streisand tunes on Glee



Check out the blurb here regarding Michelle's thoughts.

What I'm watching now:

Grey's Anatomy
I have to say this show has been a bit of a downer lately and I'm not enjoying it like I used too.



Private Practice Another show that has been sad as well but a tad perkier than Grey's.



Brothers and Sisters Have the kleenex ready for this show.



The Rachel Zoe Project A deliciously guilty pleasure but these characters get so stressed out over things that are really not life and death. Note-This show already aired but I'm getting caught up on Season 2.




There are many more shows I watch but this is what I thought of off the top of my head.



Jen and Ben Enjoying Their Errands.

Check it out here. Jen is looking rather chic with her sunglasses.

That's all for now,
