Daniel Craig is back as James Bond we caught the 007 star filming the latest spy action thriller Skyfall in Central London.
We cannot wait for this movie and hopes it kicks serious butt.
I guess that the whole cut-off jean shorts and boots look is all the rage now amongst young Hollywood starlets. Just tonight we’ve seen Miley Cyrus, Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens’ sister Stella all wearing their own version of this look!
Here is Vanessa and her little sis enjoying some quality time together and going to get their nails done in Burbank today.
I must admit I like Vanessa’s hair a lot more now that it’s started to grow out. She looked great still when it was shorter but I think I prefer it this length. Thoughts?
I think these Jean Dujardin posters are really eye-catching and interesting. [LaineyGossip] This ice-skater fashion gallery is hilarious! [Go Fug Yourself] Kristen Stewart wishes we would just freeze to death. [Dlisted] OH HELLO JAMES BOND. [Pop Sugar] Ryan Kwanten is guesting on The New Girl! I love their guest stars.

On Wednesday we got to see photos of David Beckham in London at the worldwide launch of his new David Beckham Bodywear collection for H&M. Today we get to see some really neat video from the event. It turns out that Becks was not only on hand to pose for photographs by himself … but he also made himself available for photos with fans. PHOTOS WITH FANS, PEOPLE! Sigh. Click below to see some of the amazing fun that none of us got to enjoy
Man … MAN … what a fun event. It looks like all that mass of people who waited in line to meet Becksie were well rewarded. I would really, REALLY like to get close enough to Becks to walk away with a photos but … alas, that moment has yet eluded me. Still, it’s very fun to see video like this where others get to meet the man. I’ll try my best to be happy for these folks and not be jealous as f*ck It is a cute video, ain’t it?
New York City will be missing Kelly Ripa on Monday, February 27. The Live! With Kelly host is flying from the East Coast to the West to tape the Live! With Kelly’s After Oscar Show at Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre.
The post-Academy Awards show will feature interviews with winners and presenters while all of the hottest fashion walking the red carpet (which you can get LIVE, right here, during the Oscar broadcast).
Guess we’ll have to wait until the winners are revealed on the 26th to get an idea of who will be appearing on the show, but you know who won’t be there? Ryan Gosling….because he wasn’t nominated for Drive or The Ides Of March, which still bums us out, but maybe he’ll be a presenter.
Actually, considering the stellar year he has just had and the very little recognition he’s gotten (he was even snubbed for People‘s Sexiest Man Alive!), he BETTER be a presenter! LOLz!
Will U tune in to watch Kelly Ripa broadcast Live! from El Lay the day after the Oscars?
Despite being one of Hollywood’s most famous actors Jake Gyllenhaal has never been a fan of the camera. The shy American tried his best to stay off the radar last night while out and about in Exmouth Market, London. Wearing a green hooded coat and a pair of beige trousers the Donnie Darko star had enjoyed a solitary lunch at East London restaurant Moro. After leaving the Muslim Mediterranean restaurant he headed through Clerkenwell with his Los Angeles Dodgers black on black baseball cap pulled low. The 31-year-old actor was also sporting a ginger coloured beard and seemed to be content wandering around the city by himself.
HMMM … I suppose it’s probably more likely that Jake was not in the mood to be photographed and that is why he was looking so sour but … still … doesn’t he look like he needs a hug? Would any of y’all kind folk be up for obliging the poor guy? No word on what Jakey is doing in Lodnon but if he stays there long enough, we may find out. Don’t stay away too long, Jake, we miss you here in LA.

While everyone seems to be all wrapped up in Lana Del Rey, I am really falling in love with another young female musician named Azealia Banks. Azealia, who used to record under the name Miss Bank$, is an extremely talented rapper from Harlem, NY who has dropped one of the most infectious songs that I’ve heard in years. Her song 212 has been making the rounds online for a few months now and The New York Times finally noticed. Azealia is featured in a new interview with the Times that sheds some light on this exciting new performer. Click below to meet Azealia Banks.
AZEALIA BANKS, a 20-year-old rapper from Harlem, has a filthy mouth. Very few lines, and not a single verse, of her hit song “212” can be reprinted in this newspaper. The song’s stark black-and-white video, shot before a plain brick wall, has been viewed more than three million times on YouTube. It shows off a thumping reggae-spackled beat, her lyrical prowess and, perhaps most important, her unique fashion sense. In the video, she’s in pigtails, denim cutoffs and a vintage Mickey Mouse sweater. And in the coming months, you can expect to see Ms. Banks and her anti-glamorous mix of Harlem swagger and downtown cool reinterpreted in numerous fashion magazines. She has been photographed by the Dutch photo team Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin for V magazine, by Matt Irwin for GQ and by Nicola Formichetti for Elle. And in early January, Terry Richardson shot her for a spring fashion spread in T: The New York Times Style Magazine. Fashion designers, in particular, seem to be drawn to her street-meets-chic look. Mr. Formichetti, of Mugler, played Ms. Banks’s unreleased track, “Bambi,” during his men’s wear show at Paris Fashion Week last month, and is directing the video for her next single “Licorice.” Ms. Banks even performed “212” at Karl Lagerfeld’s home in Paris last week at a party celebrating Karl, the designer’s new budget line. No wonder some fashion bloggers are already calling her the next Nicki Minaj. But unlike Ms. Minaj, Ms. Banks still takes her cues from the street. On a recent afternoon, Ms. Banks arrived at a bustling Latin restaurant in Washington Heights wearing black spandex tights and a pink long-sleeve T-shirt, looking as if she had just left yoga (which she had). There was no Rolex on her wrist, no LV logo on her leather motorcycle jacket. Despite her recent globe-trotting, Ms. Banks insists that she is still the girl from Harlem. “Life is the same,” she said, a sly smile forming between her churlish lips. “It would be the same thing if I were still working at Starbucks, having to deal with a manager, and a shift manager,” she said, along with customers that elicited language fitting of her lyrics. “This is a job.” Ms. Banks grew up on 152nd Street, between Amsterdam Avenue and Broadway. Her father died of pancreatic cancer when she was 2. Her mother, who worked as a sales clerk at an art supply store, and who Ms. Banks said could be physically and verbally abusive, devoted herself to putting Ms. Banks and her two sisters through school. Performing was always a passion. She attended private and Catholic schools in Harlem, where she danced with the National Dance Institute, a nonprofit arts group. Once, she performed at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts, the so-called “Fame” school, which Ms. Minaj also attended. The school changed her life, artistically and stylistically. She was no longer required to wear a school uniform. “That’s when I discovered Urban Outfitters, but it was so expensive,” she said. “So I would go to Forever 21 and the Spanish stores and I would put it together and make it look kind of hipster.” To this day, Ms. Banks wears her neighborhood on her sleeve (and feet). “I wear a lot of clothes that’s going to get dirty and look cool once it gets dirty,” she said. She took a similar approach to her rapping, which she began after failed attempts at acting. Friends were impressed by her short rhymes, so with money earned from working at Starbucks, she paid an acquaintance $30 an hour to lay down tracks in a bedroom recording studio. Her streetwise crassness and clever wordplay were evident in early tracks like “Gimme a Chance,” where she raps “Even white fellows wanna jump in the hot choco’lit/ Like marshmallows, get it?” … In 2009, with her music career starting to bud, she dropped out of high school and signed a development deal with London-based XL records, but early tracks failed to take off. A year later, she was looking for new label when she met Mike DeFreitas, a manager from Montreal who had a small roster of up-and-coming beatmakers including Machinedrum. Mr. DeFreitas oversaw a club-friendly mix of “212,” shepherded the video and cultivated radio play in London. The song, which could be heard on BBC 1 in the fall, was included on the NME 2011 Cool List and the Pitchfork “Top 10 Tracks of 2011” … The aggression in “212” is palpable, not just in the beat but also in the crass lyrics, in which she asserts her dominance over a male opponent. Ms. Banks considers herself bisexual, but, she said: “I’m not trying to be, like, the bisexual, lesbian rapper. I don’t live on other people’s terms.” Now, her budding star power has landed her on a major label. Two weeks ago, she signed a deal with Universal Music and she plans to put out her first album this spring. Ms. Banks takes it all in stride. “I’ve been out for three years,” she said. “I’ve been around.”
And, because I think Azealia is much easier to know in the context of her music, here is her music video for 212 (be warned, some of the lyrics are NSFW):
The girl is IT. I have been obsessed with this song for some time now … I am dying to hear more. I think I’ve managed to collect all of the songs she’s made available online but I am really looking forward to the release of her debut album. I’m very impressed with what I’ve heard thus far. This song, 212, I’m telling you … it’ll be stuck in your head for days. As I said above, all eyes appear to be trained on Lana Del Rey but I think we need to keep an eye on Ms. Banks here. She might actually be the new female artist to take the world by storm.
