  • Hugh Jackman’s Aussie Holiday

    Taking a break from Christmas shopping, Hugh Jackman was spotted out with his kids Oscar, 10, and Ava, 5, in Melbourne, Australia, on Monday. The "Wolverine" star has been enjoying a family holiday in his native land since filming his dramatic entrance to "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in Sydney last week.

    Jackman received stitches near his right eye last Tuesday after smashing into a lighting rig while making his grand zip-line entry from the top of the Sydney Opera House to the stage. Soldiering on, the action star got patched up before sitting down to chat with Oprah, telling her he was having such a great time, he forgot to hit the brake, and crashed into the barrier at the end of the line: "I came down waving to everyone, looking over Sydney Harbour, saw my dad, the kids and you, went to pull the brake and then boing!"

    Speaking of action, have you seen the trailer for Jackman's new film "Real Steel," which is due to hit theaters in October 2011? With a premise that sounds like

  • Fashion Faceoff: Natalie vs. Kelly

    The ladies sure do look lovely in lace. Natalie Portman and Kelly Osbourne both hit the red carpet sporting the same strapless lace Christian Dior dress, albeit in different hues. Question is ... did Miss Pretty in Pink or Miss Rock Royalty wear it better?

    Natalie Portman first wore a baby pink version of the Christian Dior Resort 2011 frock way back in June for the AFI Life Achievement Awards honoring director Mike Nichols in Culver City, California. The "Black Swan" star --  and Dior spokesperson -- accessorized with matching pink heels, a black-and-white clutch, and loose, sexy locks.

    Just last month, "Dancing With the Stars" alum Kelly Osbourne donned the same Dior duds in black while attending the 2010 American Music Awards in Los Angeles. Flaunting her fab new figure, Ozzy's daughter rocked platinum tresses, black peep-toe platform heels, and added flair with a lobster ring and spider crab stone ring by jewelry designer Stephen Webster.

    This is a tough one, as the different

  • Rumer Bags a Modeling Gig

    Mark Badgley, right, and James Mischka, left, style Rumer Willis on the set of their spring 2011 campaign. - AP Photo/Badgley MischkaMore famous for her movie star parents, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, than for her acting career -- her resume includes "90210," "Sorority Row," and "The House Bunny" -- Rumer Willis has just scored herself a sweet new gig. The 22-year-old has been named as the face of fashion house Badgley Mischka's spring 2011 campaign.

    Following in the footsteps of past Badgley Mischka models, who include Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Eva Longoria, and Brooke Shields, Willis may seem like an odd choice, though in her defense, she does have quite the rockin' bod that really suits the brand's beautiful clothes.

    "I was thrilled and honored to be chosen to represent the Badgley Mischka brand," Bruce and Demi's eldest child said in an official statement, adding, "Working with Mark and James is an incredible opportunity."

    A post on Mark Badgley and James Mischka Facebook page notes that Willis will be "wearing all of the brand's lifestyle collections including couture eveningwear, the Mark & James

  • Stars Get Wild at the L.A. Zoo

    It was an evening of family fun at the grand opening of the Elephants of Asia habitat held at the Los Angeles Zoo Wednesday night. Celebs including Gavin Rossdale, Garcelle Beauvais, and rocker Slash showed up their kids to meet the stars of the exhibit -- Asian elephants Billy, Tina, and Jewel.

    "I Know Who Killed Me" actress Garcelle Beauvais attended the event with her adorable 3-year-old twins Jax and Jaid, while Slash, who also performed at the soiree, brought his two boys, London and Cash, to see the old circus elephants enjoying their new home.

    The 6-acre, $42 million exhibit features watering holes, waterfalls, and sandy trails designed to allow up to 11 elephants to eat and exercise as if they were in the heart of Asia. Though there has been opposition from animal welfare activists over the development still being too small for the giant beasts, the zoo's director John Lewis hopes the new enclosure will quiet the critics. 

    "It's always a double-edged sword with the zoos

  • Kim Kardashian’s New Man

    Though she's been spotted out with a slew of gentlemen over the past few months -- Kanye West, Gabriel Aubry, etc. -- this week it appears Kim Kardashian only has eyes for her new basketball player beau Kris Humphries. The reality starlet and the New Jersey Nets player were spotted partying together at the Z100 Jingle Ball concert at Madison Square Garden in NYC Saturday night, before reportedly heading back to the Smyth Hotel together in the early hours of the morning.

Like her previous pro-athlete boyfriends, Reggie Bush, 25, and Miles Austin, 26, Kim's new love interest is a few years shy of her 30 years. He'll be 26 next February.

    Just in case he's still around past the holidays, here's a little back story on the 6'9" power forward: Just like Kim, Kris also has sisters whose names start with "K" -- Krystal and Kaela -- and he was on track to be a pro swimmer at age 12, competing against a young Michael Phelps until he decided to

  • Willow Whips Up a New Hairdo

    Her first single, the infectious "Whip My Hair," nabbed the No. 1 spot on the iTunes video chart, and was the highest ranking debut single from any artist in 2010 on Billboard's digital song chart. The daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith isn't just about setting records on the charts though ... she's also in the top spot when it comes to modeling the most hairstyles in a calendar year! Not bad for a 10-year-old, huh?

    Her latest look? A blunt bowl style that frames her face and reminds us of the mushroom cut Rihanna and Mary J. Blige both sported earlier this year.

    Could Willow be attempting a "Bieber" hairstyle here? After all, she is touring with the pint-sized superstar next year. "Got news that my big bro @justinbieber invited me on his European Tour in March..so exciting! Maybe I'll let [big brother] Jaden come..LOL #NEVERSAYNEVER," Smith tweeted excitedly last week.

    Our biggest worry, though, is how Willow's going to whip that hair on stage now that she's lost her

  • Rebecca and Billie’s Playtime

    Sporting an adorable pink cable knit hoodie over a hot pink beanie, 9-month-old Billie Beatrice Dane was spotted out at a park in Beverly Hills with her mom, Rebecca Gayheart, on Tuesday. The cute duo hit the swings for some fun times while braving the suddenly chilly LA weather.

    In a recent interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Billie's dad Eric Dane revealed that his daughter has him wrapped around her little finger. "You look at a baby like that and you say she smiles waking up. It makes you want to have more." The star also hinted that there might soon be a sibling on the way for his pretty little princess. "Well, we're going to have another one hopefully," said Dane, adding with a smile, "We're working on it."

    When asked by Ellen how many kids he and Rebecca are planning on having, the "Grey's Anatomy" hunk replied, "Two. Yeah, we'll start with two."

  • Ryan Gosling Wants To Believe

    Ryan Gosling heats up the January issue of GQ. - Mario Testino/GQWith a newly-minted Golden Globe nomination in hand for his indie drama "Blue Valentine," and a rumored romance heating up with "Gossip Girl" starlet Blake Lively, Ryan Gosling is reluctantly back in the spotlight. In the new issue of GQ, the smoldering star opens up about the importance of putting in an honest day's work, and dealing with success in Hollywood.

    It's pretty amusing to learn that a guy who shuns the spotlight plays in an indie band called Dead Man's Bones, and who generally exudes an air of aloof cool still calls Disneyland one of his favorite places on earth. So why does the former "Mickey Mouse Club" kid -- who was spotted eating ice cream with Lively at the theme park in October -- love the cheesy American institution?

    "I loved the idea that Walt Disney had this dream of a place and then made it a reality," says the 30-year-old, adding, "It's the same way I felt when I saw [David Lynch's 1986 film] 'Blue Velvet.' It's so clearly one person's singular dream. The fact

  • Maggie’s Little Munchkin

    Maggie Gyllenhaal and Ramona out in Brooklyn. - INFphoto.comMaggie Gyllenhall was spotted out and about with her cute-as-a-button daughter Ramona Sarsgaard in New York Thursday. The two were bundled up to brave the chilly Brooklyn weather while they ran errands -- looking for the perfect Christmas gift for her brother Jake's new girlfriend Taylor Swift, perhaps?

    The "Nanny McPhee Returns" star sported a long black puffer coat and knit beanie, while her 4-year-old daughter Ramona rocked a black-and-white hooded jacket and red hat. It was just a couple of weeks ago that the look-alike pair were spotted out in the neighborhood walking hand in hand with country star Taylor Swift, who was in town to spend Thanksgiving with new beau Jake and the rest of the family. When asked by UsMagazine.com at last week's Focus For Change benefit how Thanksgiving day went with Swift, Maggie replied, "Great."

    Do you think Jake, 29, is ready to settle down with the singer, who turns 21 on December 13? According to a recent interview with USA Weekend, maybe he is.

  • Fashion Faceoff: Jenny vs. Eva

    Ladies, this battle is positively prehistoric -- not that either of our contestants is over the hill (quelle horreur!). It's just that the sequined Stella McCartney dress that Jenny McCarthy and Eva Mendes were both spotted wearing reminds me of something Wilma Flintstone might don for a fancy Stone Age party!

    Jenny McCarthy in L.A., November 21, 2010. - Steve Granitz/WireImage.comEva Mendes in L.A., June 6, 2010. - Kevin Winter/Getty Images  

    Mendes was the first to rock the sparkling Pre-Fall 2010 Stella McCartney frock when she walked the red carpet at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards in June. Sporting a casual side-parted 'do, the 36-year-old actress accessorized with gold bangles, Roger Vivier sandals, and a metallic clutch from the same designer.

    Just last month, Jenny McCarthy donned the same one-shoulder number for the 2010 American Music Awards. Black peep-toe Louboutins, a silver bag, and a bouffant updo completed the 38-year-old's look.

    It appears as if Jenny's dress has been modified -- her version has lost the sleeve on the shoulder, and a hemline lift has also rendered it shorter and a little more
