HATHAWAY HALF NAKED IN GQ
Anne Hathaway donned lingerie and talked to British GQ about movie kissing. "It's a totally different experience," she said of the forceful movie kiss. "But really you have to be Angelina Jolie to pull that off and still look good. I don't know if you've noticed, but I ain't no Angie."
"If you're both unattached and you get along, of course kissing in a movie is fun," she went on. "But you can never get truly deep down and into it. Well, I can't. Jennifer Garner -- now that girl can movie kiss!"

2010 SPRING ACCESSORIES ARE A CROC
New year, new life? There are always exceptions to the rule, especially if we talk about fashion. One might think that every year the stakes are renewed and designers involved in setting trends with innovative products that have not seen in the market so far. But the truth is that while there is some of that in the world of the catwalk also see these perennial classics that even if they return again and again they are still interesting.
We talk about the ins and classic designs are always in place, products that never go out of fashion, perhaps because its quality, materials that are designed or simply because they set their own style. This applies to the designs of crocodile skin, a trend that we see both in bags and accessories and many shoes.
Despite the history, brands are betting big on the reptile skin and success seem to be guaranteed with high quality products, often priced too high for some budgets.
What can we find this season?

JWOWW MTV'S LATEST REALITY GIRL THINKS SHE KNOWS FASHION
God save us all, . . .can MTV's horrific casts please stop making clothes-- we all know how this story ends. Lauren Conrad's line failed, Whitney Port's line isn't doing well, and Audrina Patridge's line isn't doing well either. Can someone please tell me how these girls become fashion designers? Just because you claim to be Italian, doesn't mean you know anything about fashion.
One of the Jersey Shore housemates is moving on up in the fashion industry! MTV’s very own Jenni Farley, aka JWOWW, is launching her own clothing line.
Jenni never wore that much clothing to begin with, but when she did, she made a statement! Remember those sparkly hot pants she wore to the club?!
Jenni announced the news via her website, which states, “Jenni has created the ultimate in fashionable clothing. Not only will her line be ‘Edgy’ and ‘Sexy,’ but it will also make people of all ages and body type feel more confident in ‘the scene.’ “Remember you don’t want to be that person at the club that sees someone else wearing the same thing.”
With her style, we highly doubt anyone would be wearing the same thing! The line will include custom-made tops in six colors. Jenni is also offering an opportunity for fans who want to show off their “Shore” style to appear on the site. All they’ll need to do is take a picture of themselves wearing the top and send it to her e-mail address. Visit jwoww.com for more details!

2010 MEN'S STYLE GUIDE
Admit it: You've got your fair share of oversized, outdated fashion relics gathering dust in the far recesses of your closet. It's time to weed out the old and ring in the new—and this month's Men's Style Guide can help. Our latest installment examines 'The New Standards'—those hard-working essentials that form the backbone of every guy's 21st-century wardrobe. Think your bases are covered? Before assuming you're totally up to date, you'd better measure your ties, check your denim, and take a second look at how your suit fits. We cover all this and more, with in-depth tips on seven style staples for work, weekend and beyond.
While you're there, check out other Men's Style Guide features, too-- that pinpoints your style type and suggests clothes tailored to your taste.
For 2010, resolve to reevaluate your wardrobe. Here are the pieces every new-millennium man needs—plus tips on exactly how they should fit:
DARK KNIGHT.
Ditch your baggy, dated dad jeans. One clean-cut pair in dark blue will take you to work, weekend and beyond. Want to branch out? Try versatile neutrals like black, grey and white. My favorites: Buffalo by David Bitton, Straight Leg Jeans, Dresdon, $220. (Washed and whiskered for the look and feel of an old favorite, these Buffalo Jeans are a must-have look for a modern guy.)
JACK-ET OF ALL TRADES.
One coat can keep you dry 24/7—from morning commute, to night out, to busy weekend. Find one that fuses function with fashion, complementing your look rather than covering it up. My favorite: G-Star Raw Outdoor Copeland Quilted Jacket, $160. (Multidirectional quilting emphasizes the slim fit of a stand-collar jacket with long, smooth sleeves. Embroidered logo details the color-blocked shoulders.)
MODERN MAN.
Your new suit's narrower lapels, shorter jacket and flat-front trousers all work together to make you look taller and slimmer—no matter your shape or size. My favorites: Ralph Lauren Suit, Grey Herringbone, $350. (Expert tailoring and flawless attention to detail makes this well-constructed look from Lauren Ralph Lauren a great addition to your polished wardrobe.)
DRESS SHIRT WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS.
That billowy wad of fabric that balloons out the back of your pants? Put it behind you with shirts that actually fit. Streamlined but not skin-tight, they accentuate the positive on every guy's frame. My favorite: Thomas Pink Slim Fit Dress Shirt, $195. (Pink stripes on a black background distinguish a straight-collar shirt crafted in the tradition of classic British shirt-making. Contoured panels on each side perfect the slim fit.)
NARROW MINDED.
Today's universally accepted neckwear is not too fat, not too skinny, but a happy medium that syncs up nicely with slim suit lapels and smaller shirt collars. My favorite: Burberry Woven Silk Tie, $150. (Oversized check patterns an Italian-crafted tie with a modern, narrow width.)
STRAIGHT FORWARD.
With a new, sleeker fit, cotton khakis are no longer confined to casual Friday. They now look, feel and function more like high-minded jeans you can dress up or down. My favorite: BOSS Black 'Cagan' Flat Front Trouser, $155. (Subtly textured wool trousers cut with a hint of stretch offer a modern aesthetic.)
CASUAL KING.
Show some style initiative—even on the weekend. With a few low-key, fitted shirts on-hand, you'll look effortlessly with-it, whether you're headed to the art museum or the hardware store. My favorite: 7 Diamonds Zip Pocket Plaid Shirt, $99. (A horizontal zipper above one of the snap-flap chest pockets modernizes a spread-collar shirt patterned in classic plaid.)

The sexy new ads will hit billboards this spring. The sultry actress stars in a new ad campaign for Calvin Klein that is guaranteed to stop traffic – again.
Wearing nothing but the denim brand's new Whitewashed jeans, an oiled-up Mendes and model Jamie Dornan wrestle around in the hot sand in a series of ads that will hit billboards this spring, reports the U.K.'s Marie Claire.
Though this isn't the first time Mendes has shed her clothes for the controversial company, this may certainly be the most jaw-dropping.
In November, the actress and Dornan were featured on a Calvin Klein billboard in the heart of SoHo that drew both displeasure and appreciation from spectators.
A sweaty Mendes was pictured wearing sheer lingerie and tugging at the boxer briefs of a glistening Dornan.
Mendes, 35, previously bared all in steamy television ads for the company's Secret Obsession fragrance that were banned from American airwaves in 2008 because they were deemed too risqué.
365 DAYS OF STYLE: DAY 7
DAY 7: SKIN IS IN. Don't have time for intensive skin care? Pamper yourself with the basics. Good skin care and healthy lifestyle choices can help delay the natural aging process and prevent many skin problems. Get started with these five no-nonsense tips.
If you smoke, the best way to protect your skin is to quit. Ask your doctor for tips or treatments to help you stop smoking.
1. Protect yourself from the sun
The most important way to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, freckles, age spots and rough, dry skin. Sun exposure can also cause more-serious problems, such as skin cancer. For the most complete sun protection:- Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. This is when the sun's rays are the strongest.
- Wear protective clothing. Cover your skin with tightly woven long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats. You might also opt for special sun-protective clothing, which is specifically designed to block ultraviolet rays while keeping you cool and comfortable.
- Use sunscreen when you're in the sun. Apply generous amounts of broad-spectrum sunscreen 30 minutes before going outdoors and reapply every two hours, after heavy sweating or after being in water.
2. Don't smoke
Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin, which decreases blood flow. This depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients, such as vitamin A, that are important to skin health. Smoking also damages collagen and elastin — fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity. In addition, the repetitive facial expressions you make when smoking — such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke — may contribute to wrinkles.If you smoke, the best way to protect your skin is to quit. Ask your doctor for tips or treatments to help you stop smoking.
3. Treat your skin gently
Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on your skin, so keep it gentle:- Limit bath time. Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower time, and use warm — rather than hot — water.
- Avoid strong soaps. Strong soaps can strip oil from your skin. Instead, choose mild cleansers.
- Shave carefully. To protect and lubricate your skin, apply shaving cream, lotion or gel before shaving. For the closest shave, use a clean, sharp razor. Shave in the direction the hair grows, not against it.
- Pat dry. After washing or bathing, gently pat or blot your skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains on your skin.
- Moisturize dry skin. Find a moisturizer that fits your skin type and makes your skin look and feel soft.
4. Eat a healthy diet
A healthy diet can help you look and feel your best. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. The association between diet and acne isn't clear — but research suggests that a diet rich in vitamin C and low in fats and carbohydrates may promote younger looking skin.5. Manage stress
Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems. To encourage healthy skin — and a healthy state of mind — takes steps to manage your stress. Set reasonable limits, scale back your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy. The results may be more dramatic than you expect.365 DAYS OF STYLE: DAY 7
DAY 7: PRIM & PROPER. All fashion trends are cyclical, and in recent years have gradually modernised the looks of the 20th Century and planted them firmly in the 21st. And so too it is with men's hair trends in 2010: it's out with the new, and in with the old. Or at least an old hair style with a new twist.

2010 sees men's hair styles fall into two distinct categories: school boy and rocker. But while the rocker look is certainly a 20th Century creation, the resulting hair style finds its roots (if you'll pardon the pun) distinctly in 19th Century Britain. And so it is in 2010; while the odd 2010 runway collection featured something akin to a grunge revival, the majority of us will live out 2010 with a refined, classically inspired hair cut.

DAY 7: THE COLD SHOULDER. Asymmetrical gowns, dresses, and tops are still very much here to stay. From the award show red carpet to your closet, make sure you own one of these sexy tops. Make sure you are doing your bi-cep and tricep exercises, ladies, swimsuit season is only a few months away!
365 DAYS OF STYLE: DAY 7
DAY 7: HELLO YELLOW. Not sure what hue is going to be in demand this Spring/Summer? Say hello, to yellow. This primary color is going to be HUGE. You will see it in solids, patterns, and prints. A little ray of sunshine goes along way, so dabble in this color with caution!
FASHION REWIND: The 36th Annual People's Choice Awards
The 36th Annual People's Choice Awards officially kicked off award season in Hollywood tonight. The Nokia Theater was shining bright with stars. Some of them showed up ready to strut their stuff and others were left in their stardust. The People's Choice Awards is an awards show recognizing the people and the work of popular culture. The show has been held annually since 1975 and is voted on by the general public. The People's Choice Awards air on CBS and Queen Latifah was an amazing host.
Her majesty reigned supreme with over a dozen gown changes all that flattered her voluptuous figure. Mary J. Blige performed her new hit "Who I Am". The sexy R&B crooner looked fabulous with her black fitted dress with shoulder pads. It was nice to see a diva rise after tabloid scrutiny a month ago, you can't cheat fabulousity!
So, the winners of the night like Ellen DeGeneres, The Proposal, The Big Bang Theory, were all deserving of their awards, but now it's time to talk FASHION winners, because after all, the only image burned into our memories is the GOOD, BAD, and the UGLY.
1. CARRIE COUTURE. Country sweetheart, Carrie Underwood glowed in her couture dress. Not only did she win Best Country singer of the night, but this bride-to-be is getting ready for her TV closeup. According to People.com country superstar Carrie Underwood will appear in an upcoming episode as Tiffany, a love interest for Ted (Josh Radnor). We love Carrie's stylist who keeps her constantly fresh, chic, and sophisticated.
2. SHE IS NEVER BAD IN FASHION, ALL BY HERSELF. Taraji P. Henson left us breathless in a one-shoulder rouched floor length gown. She was ravishing on the red carpet with her impeccable sense of fashion. From last year's award season, Henson strives to find her footing as one of Hollywood's hottest fashion icons. Dying to see what Golden Globes and Oscars have in store for us!
3. MODERN MAMACITA. Columbian goddess, Sofia Vergara's beauty is flawless. She represented for the curvy girls in a 'caliente' strapless ensemble. And elevated not only heart rates but took the outfit to a whole new level with bold beaded statement necklace. I love women who can pull it together and make it look effortless. Muy bonita!
4. NIECY 'NAILED IT. Style Network's curvy-licious cutie worked the red carpet in her perfect asymmetrical pink gown. This Clean House star cleans up quite well.
5. YOU'VE GOT MALE. I typically give #5 to just one person, but I couldn't help but give the men a little love, because they actually impressed me rocking some of 2010's hottest trends. Christian Slater and Omar Epps were devilishly dapper in their monochromatic suit, shirt, and tie- look. HOT! HOT! HOT! High school hotties, Greg Finley and Darren Kagasoff showed off their handsome grey threads, while Hugh Jackman and Taylor Lautner kept it clean, classic, and ooooohh so sexy in a white dress shirt and crisp suit. Delish!
With the fashion winners, . . . there are the fash-tastrophes. And who tops my list of the 5 People who need to Fire their Stylists. Here goes, . . .the wow, why, whoa, whoops, and what was she thinking?
WOW. "I DON'T", like "The Proposal" starlet, Sandra Bullock's choice. It looks like bed drapes and sloppy, we were hoping that she'd get it together. I mean, don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Sandy, and this is not the last we will see of her this year. But I am hoping that when she accepts her Best Actress at the Academy Awards, that I can also tag her Best Dressed.
WHY. "The Secret Life of" Style, is what it should be called, because it's obviously a secret how to get dressed also. Megan Park and her co-star, Francia Raisa need to go back to home-ec, those dresses look like a kindergartner made them in "arts and craft" time. With teen-tween princesses like Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, and Demi Lovato, these little girls need to take some serious notes. Even the Glee girls showed up in style.
WHOA. No Love, for HBO's "Big Love" star, Ginnifer Goodwin this time around. Although black and white, the colors are on trend, this dress was all wrong. He's Just Not That Into You, well we know why!
WHOOPS. NCIS has a new meaning tonight- NO CLEAVAGE IN SHIRT. Actress, Daniela Ruah, although gorgeous, needs to put the girls into the corset to make it work. And I am all for a great suit, but a see-thru corset that doesn't fit is not HOT! Try again!
WHAT WAS SHE THINKING? Para-NO MORE. Front woman, Hayley Williams, cute and quirky red hair and punked out look work, but did I miss something? Did she forget that it's not Halloween? Because Little Bo Peep called and wants her dress back. Bow-distaster!
Until next time, . . .Critics Choice, SAG Awards, and Golden Globes are on the horizon, . . .will 2010 red carpet be a MEMORABLE one or one not worth remembering? Stay tuned, . . .

365 DAYS OF STYLE: DAY 6
DAY 6: BACK TO BASICS. What is more versatile than a t-shirt? Ladies, am I right? You can toss it on with a pair of jeans or a skirt to alter it's mood. And fellas, what looks better under a blazer with jeans or with cargo shorts? My favorite t-shirts are from James Perse. Your choice of the V-neck or round neck, and your choice of the comfy boyfriend fit or body hugging. Stock up on cotton tees in varieties of colors, they are a good go-to piece for those lazy fashion days that we all will be going through this year! It's better to be prepared!
365 DAYS OF STYLE: DAY 5
DAY 5: COLOR BY NUMBERS. Spring into the new year in style by incorporating color into your wardrobe. Not only is color a mood enhancer, but it definitely can add zest to a boring outfit. Scared of color? Start small, with a colorful accessory or scarf. Men, this rule is not just for the ladies. Try a bold accessory, like a red watch with a grey suit!
365 DAYS OF STYLE: DAY 4
DAY 4: TRAIL BLAZERS. Menswear is still around ladies and with good cause. What is sexier than a fun blazer over a simple cami, a cocktail dress, or laced corset? The blazer is every girl's best friend because it gives you an instant-hourglass figure. If you don't have one, you need to INVEST!
365 DAYS OF STYLE: DAY 3
DAY 3: BIG BABY. Not sure what to think about 2010's new accessory trends? Try this one on for size, STATEMENT jewelry. I love this bib necklace, it can be worn with a basic t-shirt and jeans or worn with a LBD for date night. Make a statement without saying a word!
365 DAYS OF STYLE: DAY 2
DAY 2: CHAIN GANG. Chain! Chain! Chain! Don't be a fool and start this new year with a CHAIN-GE in your handbag. The unique and vintage feel of a chain handbag is classic and elegant. All the stars have begun to show their love of the timeless chains, you should too!
