Is Pacey Witter (Finally) Getting Married?

Be still our beating hearts: Joshua Jackson, aka Dawson's Creek's dreamy Pacey, may be getting ready to settle down for good. The heartthrob and current star of FOX's Fringe, has been dating Cannes lady-of-the-moment Diane Kruger for what seems like decades. As is the case with any Hollywood couple, the two are often surrounded by relationship rumors, but the latest whispers seems to be more than, well, whispers.

Jackson is currently in Cannes accompanying his longtime love on her official Cannes duties, which most recently included attending a charity auction in nearby Monaco. In true over-the-top A-lister style, Pacey's alter-ego bid a whopping $45,000 on a Carla Amorim necklace to gift to his lady. But here's the kicker: Benefit officials report overhearing Joshua report that he planned to give it to Diane as a — wait for it — engagement present.

While we would be (almost) truly happy for these two if they've decided to make things official, we can't help but stifle a wee bit of jealousy. Not only are they contenders for the title of Most Beautiful Couple On Earth, but Miss Kruger is on par to receive an engagement present more extravagant than most women can dream of. Keep in mind this five-figure pendant is (hypothetically) on top of what we can only imagine is a big fat rock of an engagement ring. Mazel tov and all, but Pacey may have just raised the bar way too high! (People)

Heidi Klum On Why She's Never Been To A Spa (In 60 Seconds)

heidi-klumHeidi Klum constantly has us asking one burning question: Just how does one woman manage to have her hands in umpteen pots, and still look so damn striking while doing it all? (Not to mention finding the time to plan that crazy Halloween costume every year!?) Well, here's one more venture to add to her ever-growing list of projects — the L.A. mom of four (her family's lived here for six years now) is now giving great face for Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy, and had the chance to sit down and answer our age-old query!

So, tell us what your favorite thing is about this new product?
"I tried it and I really liked it. I liked how my hair felt, and I was sold! It really has a new and different approach than all the other shampoos and conditioners. It feeds the hair by treating the scalp in a straightforward method. I don’t think that any other product does that. That’s what intrigued me and got me involved. I definitely wanted to be a part of that."

We know you're naturally very blessed, but what’s your sneakiest beauty trick?
"I don’t really have any sneaky ones. I’ve been telling people about blotting paper because that’s something I love. Instead of staying dry by reapplying powder over powder and powder, you take the oil off. I think that’s a great trick that people forget about. I love the Clean & Clear Oil-Absorbing Sheets and Victoria’s Secret does a simple one. I don’t think you necessarily need to spend a crazy amount of money when it's basically just rice paper."

Okay, you always look so put together. Have you ever had a beauty disaster that you'd care to share?
"Probably over-bleaching — like when the person who was bleaching my hair didn’t pay attention or take enough time. She used too much peroxide and left it on too long. My hair broke, so I had a little pineapple on top of my hair for the longest time that was really difficult to get rid of. Basically, my hair really broke off, and I had two inches of hair in some places! That was hard because you have to constantly pat it and spray it down."

Who are your favorite L.A. beauty maestros?
"I would have to say the only one is Anastasia. I’ve known her since she started like 100 years ago. She was the person who made me grow my eyebrows back. When I first met her she told me, 'I cannot do anything. You have to grow, and then you can come back.' I think she gave me great shape again. When I started modeling, I was totally over-tweezed. I just had these thin little eyebrows. So, every once in awhile I go see her, and then I try to maintain the shape she gives me. I think she’s great!"

Are there any spas that you love in SoCal?
"I’ve never been to a spa."

How interesting! We'd think you'd be all over a relaxing getaway considering how much you do...
"I’ve had a few massages at my house, but I’m not really a spa person. I like getting my nails done, but I always have someone come to my house. I don’t like to go to those places where you put your hands and feet in a sink. I’m funny about that because I think you can catch so many things. Ha! Is it terrible that I feel that way? I feel guilty, too. I can’t tell my kids, 'Mommy’s going to the spa for the day. See you guys later.'"

Since you don't go the luxe-spa route, do you have any beauty indulgences?
"If I can sleep two hours longer than 6 a.m., that’s a beauty indulgence! Usually I get up at 6 a.m., so if I can sleep until 8 a.m., I feel amazing. And again, I feel a little guilty when I do."

As a working mom, what are your go-to products when you’re making a mad dash out the door?
"I just get dressed and sometimes I’ll put on a light foundation. I don't really 'dress-up' when I go anywhere. Maybe a little bit of eyebrow filler and mascara. But when the sun is on my skin, I want it to go directly on my skin, and not through all these layers of junk."

We loved your au naturale beauty look at the Met gala — is this your overall M.O. these days?
"Oh thank you! It was because of the highly designed dress and I had a lot of jewels. We make those decisions on the spot, and Linda and Michelle, whom I’ve been working with for many years, help me, too. It all depends on the dress. If it’s pretty simple, then I do a lot of eye makeup. Sometimes I even do a '60s eye, where I put on a lot of false eyelashes. But I think if you have a neck full of jewelry and a lot hair and makeup, that’s just too much."

Lights, Camera, Action! Win The Role Of A Lifetime Alongside Kaiser Karl

Ready for your close-up? Well, instead of waiting for your big break at places like BOA and Jones on Third, why not buy your way into the biz? (It's not like that would be a first!). Trust us, by no means are we encouraging you to hook up with a sugar daddy or hit the casting couch. It turns out movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has teamed up with the one and only Karl Lagerfeld for our idea of the dream gig. In essence, the duo will produce and direct (respectively) a short film starring the highest bidder, with proceeds going to the pair's latest charitable cause. Fingers crossed that the Kaiser is also playing costume designer!

The role of a lifetime will be on the auction block come Thursday at amfAR’s Cinema Against AIDS gala in Cannes. And, if you're feeling especially benevolent, Carine Roitfeld has curated an all-LBD runway show, complete with frocks from Alex Wang, Balenciaga, Chanel, and many (many) more. The best part: One lucky bidder will walk away with the entire loot. Sure, it's spendy, but just think how many red carpet looks you'll have banked for when you're an A-List celeb.

Our advice? Pool those waitressing tips or start power dog walking, then book it to France, because this could be your chance to make it big!

How To Meet A Mansome Gentleman: Peep This Manscaping-Themed Movie

mansome

From guyliner to mantyhose (yes, those happened), we've seen many dude-centric trends come and go. But it seems like "manscaping" is one that may be sticking around. And Mansome, in theaters today, is a much-hyped flick that serves to uncover the very personal subject of male grooming…head to toe. Morgan Spurlock, who brought us the McDonald's disaster doc Super Size Me, turned his focus to a more humorous social debate this time 'round with the help of actors Will Arnett and Jason Batemen, both Mansome producers who also appear in the film.

Masculinity manifestations are aplenty these days, from grungey Jesus types to perfectly coiffed fellas. But, there seems to be a hairy situation lurking beneath the surface when it comes to less-discussed aspects of male grooming.

The CEO of Fresh Balls, a company that supplies an actual scrotum scent (really puts the "eau" in eau de toilette, eh?), is just one of the experts interviewed by Spurlock. The film spotlights an array of famous faces to discuss their primping practices, including Zach Galifianakis, the sharp-dressed men of ZZ Top (forgive us for being crass, but we wonder if the carpets match the overgrown drapes?), Anthrax's Scott Ian (known for his dramatic Shakespearean goatee), and John Waters.

The smooth experts at The Art of Shaving sponsored the premiere event in L.A. last week, encouraging the audience to come in and learn how to properly shave (without nicking your precious family jewels...meaning your face, people!). From mending a receding hairline to hair removal, this film certainly delves into the depths of the diverse manscape of America. Take a peek at the trailer here and, if you like what you see, plan your movie date accordingly.

Like, WHOA: Joey Lawrence Bares It All, & It’s Not For A Movie Role

Okay, we’re not going to lie: When we first read this, we thought someone was pulling a fast one on us. The Blossom heartthrob (he’ll never live that down), Joey Lawrence, is hitting the stage — and not quite in the way we’d expect. Let’s just say, this is a slightly more risqué, no-holds-barred performance. He's strapping on a bowtie, stripping down, and joining the Las Vegas Chippendales gang. And just after getting us all amped with that Old Navy Blossom reunion, too! Who knew this would be his next endeavor?

According to Chippendales, Lawrence will be completely nude — “the whole nine yards,” if you will. We honestly thought this was a prank, so we headed over to trusty IMDb to peep any new, potentially stripper-themed roles. Nope, nothing lined up. So, why is Joey baring it all? We’re still scratching our heads about this one. We think this warrants a resounding "Whoa," no? (Daily News)

Yes She Cannes: Diane Kruger Kills It In A Lace-Up Versus By Versace Frock

diane-kruger-cannes-versus-versace

It’s that time of year again — things are heating up in the South of France. The 65th Cannes Film Festival is in full swing, and the glitz is flooding in from all angles. We’re not going to lie: We’re probably just as excited to see what the stars are sporting on the red carpet as we are about the films. And, if day one is a prelude to the pretty ensembles we have yet to peep, then expect us to be glued to our screens for the next week, and a half!

There were a bevy of notable frocks from the kickoff, but one that really jumped out and made us do a double take: Diane Kruger’s lace-up Versus by Versace dress, which she donned to the fest's opening photocall. If you ask us, it was the perfect balance of experimental glam, but with a splash of subtle sex appeal. Can Diane Kruger ever do any wrong? We’re on the edges of our seats waiting to see the other 'fits that she, and so many of the other stylish attendees, are sure to make waves in, over the next few days — and be sure to check back with us for an in-depth roundup of Cannes' most captivating style snaps, very soon.

The Odd Couple: Snoop Dogg & Karl Lagerfeld Team Up For A Music Vid



Truth be told, it’s rare to find us actually shocked when Uncle Karl does or says something zany. It’s kind of regular practice now, no? Sure, we’ll raise an eyebrow here, or gasp a little there (whether he’s designing helicopters or spewing controversial convo) — but to make us stand up and say WTF? — well, that’s a whole different story. But, we’re going to hand it to the guy, this time we’re wowed.

The Chanel creative director, along with Snoop Dogg, made a star-studded appearance in a music video. All we can ask is... why? Apparently, French singer Jean-Roch rounded up both Karl and Snoop for a can’t-miss cameo in his video (Snoop actually waxes pretty poetic), “Saint Tropez.” And the Kaiser went for it.

But we're going to be straight with you: This is the best thing we’ve seen all week. It’s a bit of a mind warp to see the two totally different dudes in the same scene. Peep the awesome video (and mildly catchy song) above, and see for yourself. And then, to the comments with your thoughts. (Telegraph)

Sneak A Peek At James Franco's Off-The-Wall (& Must-See) Art Exhibit

It's hard to discern whether James Franco is straight-up cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, or the most multi-talented actor to ever smack us with his Hollywood presence. Either way, we love his batsh*t bonkers ways (not that you need 'em, but examples, here, here, and here). You could even call him a Rebel Without A Cause, non? Fittingly, his latest foray into the art world, Rebel, pays an oddball homage to the 1955 James Dean flick.

JF has always had a fascination with the icon, and even portrayed him in a TNT movie years ago, snagging his first Golden Globe for it. He says, "I was always told that I look like James Dean — well, after I got braces for my buckteeth and went through puberty." So, all things considered, it's no shocker that James drummed up the concept for this wacky warehouse-style display with several other edgy artists (our favorite, Ed Ruscha, included).

Since the mid-century motion picture explored so many taboo topics, you can expect to see some electrifying works, including violent videos, sexual sculptures, and some pretty profound fixtures by the actor himself, too — there's even a motorcycle floating in a pool! We highly suggest any fans of this classic screen gem, historical heartthrob, or modern day radical, hit this show for a trippy treat. And even if you're not jonesing for either James, admission's free!

When: Tuesday, May 15 through Saturday, June 23; Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: J.F. Chen, 941 North Highland Avenue (near Romaine Street).

Sheer Madness: Charlize Theron And Kristen Stewart Play The Matching Game

rexusa_1044030ao

Sure, we may try to laugh it off, but deep down inside we’re pretty devastated when we’re at a soirée and suddenly a “she stole my look” moment rears its ugly head. So, we can only imagine how Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart felt when they both arrived at the Snow White And The Huntsman premiere donning crazy-similar gowns (uh oh!).

Maybe it was the movie’s dark theme that inspired both gals to opt for long, sheer black dresses — or maybe they planned it. Who knows. We’ll probably never get to the bottom of the matching mystery, but it looks like the ladies had a lovely time, either way. However, we do think this warrants a “who wore it best” poll, no? Have at it — take to the comments and fill us in on whose version of the look you like better.

Say What: Does This One Direction Member Have The Moves Like Jagger?

Excuse us for being slightly tardy to the party on this one, but we’re all abuzz after learning that Richard Branson’s production company is releasing a flick about the rock relationship of the century. Exile On Main Street will highlight the tumultuous times that transpired between music legends Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones. We’re jumping out of our chairs just thinking about catching the Jagger-Richards feud from start to finish — and are eagerly anticipating the release date. We caught wind of the news when it was recently announced that One Direction’s Harry Styles is up for the role of Jagger.

Sure, the British boy band is blowing up the charts right now, and Styles actually kinda-sorta resembles Mick, but is he the next Jagger? We’re not entirely sold (after all, those are mighty big shoes to fill). We personally think none other than Andrew Garfield could do the role justice. But, hey that’s just us. What about Keith? Obviously, Johnny Depp would play an older version, but who could rep the guitarist's wild and wacky ways as a young'un? Emile Hirsch? Jamie Bell? We could go on for days. Do tell us who you’d like to see on screen, in the comments below. (Oh No They Didn't)

Best Rumor Ever: Is A Saved By The Bell Reunion Actually Happening?

We never stopped rooting for Saved By The Bell to make its much-anticipated comeback. It was our all-time fave after-school indulgence back when jellies and crop tops were in the first time (we still want to be Kelly Kapowski circa 1991), and even after it was long off air — we still waited with bated breath to catch it in syndication. Needless to say, the Bayside High gang will forever hold a special place in our hearts. So, whenever we hear even the slightest mumble of a possible reunion, we have trouble containing our excitement.

Well, according to Lark Voorhies, a.k.a. Lisa Turtle, there might just be a SBTB get-together in store for us (fingers crossed). “'We tend to circumvent and come around to this topic quite often, so I think the buzz might catch,” Voorshies said. This is officially the best rumor we’ve heard in ages (aside from that tidbit about the Spice Girls going on tour again, of course).

We can only imagine how the whole thing would pan out. We’d like to think of it as being a character-themed “Where Are They Now” episode. We predict Jessie Spano is probably a lawyer (or president) by now, Zach a tech mogul, Lisa is a fashion designer, and Kelly is hanging at home with a husband (we sure hope she and Zach were able to make that Vegas wedding work...) and kids? But what about AC and Screech? Any thoughts on where those two are now? And more importantly, are you excited as we are about this? Drop us a line in the comments. Inquiring minds want to know.

Two Nights, Four Outfits: The Hot Mamas Of Revenge Are Killing It

revenge-main

Like the rest of the world L.A., we consider ourselves to be the #1 fans of ABC's Revenge. And, after touring (and swooning over!) the apartment of one Ashley Madekwe, a.k.a. social climber Ashley Davenport, we're girl-crushing, hard. We love peeping pics of her flaunting her eclectic style, and it seems that she's recruited another starlet to her sartorial hall of fame — Ashley and co-star Christa B. Allen (otherwise known as Charlotte Grayson) have been rocking the rouge rug HARD together, of late. The gals poshly painted the town this week, and the rising stars came at us with a re-vengeance, two nights in a row.

They hit the Hollywood party circuit starting on Tuesday, to fete co-star Emily Van Camp's cover of the June issue of Lucky, wowing the crowd at the Essie-sponsored party at the Sunset Tower, in summer-sexy dresses. Then, last night they popped up at the bash for Nylon's Young Hollywood Issue, sporting a hot pink tribal skirt, and a chic collared dress, respectively. We love that these girls seem to be BFFs on set and at events, but here's hoping that their real life romps have a little less drama than the Hamptons version!
