  • Lady Gaga Gets Waxed!

    Lady Gaga gets waxed at Madame Tussauds in London. - Ian Gavan/Getty ImagesWhen it comes to making a statement, Lady Gaga is up there with the most memorable you might ever come across. Her costumes are works of art in themselves, so it made sense that when Madame Tussauds proposed to immortalize the "Paparazzi" singer in wax, they create not one, but eight statues in her image that would be unveiled across the globe on Thursday December 9, 2010 -- each featuring a different outfit from Gaga's vast archive of eccentric looks.

    The London figure shows the "Telephone" singer in her Philip Treacy-designed telephone hat, which she first debuted on "Friday Night With Jonathan Ross" in March 2010. The duplicate hat for her British doppelganger was recreated by the famous milliner, so we're assuming the original is still in her walk-in wardrobe somewhere. A midnight blue Giorgio Armani Prive suit completed her London look.

    "The demand to include Lady Gaga has been overwhelming and we are more than happy to oblige," said Madame Tussauds London's General Manager,

  • Angelina’s Art Shop Kids

    Angelina heads out with Zahara and Shiloh, with Maddox following close behind. - Splash NewsFor the second time this week, Angelina Jolie made a trip to Lee's Art Shop on 57th Street in NYC with Maddox, Pax, Zahara, and Shiloh Tuesday. Maybe Jolie's four older kids were jealous of the booty their younger siblings Knox and Vivienne took home from their expedition on Saturday with mom and dad?

    Angelina was sporting her usual black, while Zahara, 5, looked like her mommy's mini-me in a matching wool Princess coat from Ralph Lauren and black Pink Pony rain boots. Z's little sister Shiloh, 4, showed her flair for fashion by donning a $425 Wool Cavalry Military Jacket from Ralph Lauren's Girls collection, complete with a plastic sword and fur trapper hat.

    Maddox, 9, rocked a faux fur jacket and matching cap, while his little brother Pax, 7, wore a camouflage vest and clutched an adorable teddy bear while trying to hide from the photographers who were following the family's every move.

    Though she's reportedly not a huge fan of Thanksgiving, it appears Jolie is feeling the

  • The Best of British

    Supermodels Claudia Schiffer, in a Mary Katrantzou number, and Naomi Campbell, in an embellished Alexander McQueen gown. - Dave M. Benett/Getty ImagesIt was a triumphant night for the women of British fashion at Tuesday's British Fashion Awards, held at the Savoy in London. While past years may have been dominated by the gentleman, 2010 was all about the ladies. 1980s supermodels Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer brought a style establishment vibe, while newbie designer Victoria Beckham was just honored to be nominated for an award.

    Campbell was given a Special Recognition trophy to mark her 25-year career -- and we think she still looks just as statuesque and stunning now as she did back in 1985! In her acceptance speech, Naomi told the crowd, "It's overwhelming to be in your own country and to receive such an award."

    Going against tradition, Alexander McQueen was honored with a posthumous award for Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design, while Phoebe Philo was honored as Designer of the Year for the fashion house Celine. "Little Britain" creator David Walliam's new wife, Dutch model Lara Stone, was named Model of the Year.

  • Mariah’s Holiday Spirit, On Repeat

    Mariah Carey at the 2010 Rockefeller Center tree lighting in New York City, November 30, 2010. - Theo Wargo/WireImage.comFeeling the holiday spirit? Well we're pretty sure that almost no one can compete with Mariah Carey, who confessed that she "loves the holidays" about a hundred times while hawking her new perfume, Christmas CD, pregnancy, and a few other odds and ends on the Home Shopping Network last week.

    For those of you who couldn't quite get through the whole six hours or so of Mimi waffling on about her favorite things, blogger Rich Juzwiak has edited down Mrs. Cannon's best bits into a hilarious 7 1/2 minute montage of classic diva moments.

    Yes, it must be hard not to repeat yourself when you're talking about the same thing for hours and hours, but Mariah kept us well entertained from the moment she put her feet up in the couch. Other side effects of her pregnancy? Fingers so swollen she can't get her rings off, and a super-sensitive sense of smell.

    My favorite part of the montage is Mariah's copyrighted method for perfume application, which involves a spray, then a walk through or a lean

  • Angelina’s ‘High’ Fashion Statement

    In her everyday life, Angelina Jolie's well known for wearing pretty much only black ensembles, and on the red carpet, she tends to head in that direction too. So seeing Jolie in a cream angora Atelier Versace gown at the premiere of "The Tourist" Monday night seemed like a bold fashion statement from the actress ... until we checked our style archives. It seems Jolie also has a thing for glamorous evening gowns with a thigh-high slit -- and Versace.

    Both the side-splitting black dress she wore to the Tokyo premiere of "Salt" and the blush number she donned for the Cannes premiere of "Inglourious Basterds" were designed by the famed Italian fashion house.

    Jolie herself confessed to Vogue that she usually wears black because it's utilitarian and practical. "I like to get up so every pair of pants goes with every top, every dress goes with every shoe. I've a very tiny closet. Brad's always laughing at me."

    With the amount of free fashion swag that's being thrown at her every day,

  • Brangelina Takes the Twins Out in NYC

    Angelina and Vivienne. - Saleem & Ahmad Elatab/Splash NewsIn what's become a bit of a family tradition, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took their twins, Knox and Vivienne, to visit Lee's Art Shop in Manhattan on Saturday. The family arrived in New York that morning from Paris for the premiere of Angelina's latest film, "The Tourist," Monday night at the Ziegfeld Theater.

    Bundled up to battle the chilly NYC weather, the 2-year-old twins both wore warm gray jackets. Knox accessorized with adorable baby biker boots and a cap just like his dad's while Viv sported a white knit hoodie and gray suede boots.

    According to a People.com source, the family was accompanied by a bodyguard who kept the paparazzi out of the store while the family shopped in peace. Angelina was "her usual beautiful self and [Brad] was handsome and friendly," one observer told People, adding "The twins are perfect and adorable -- what sweet faces."

    In a recent interview with Britain's Daily Mail, Angelina opened up about the importance of making time for your partner, as well

  • SJP’s Twins Inherit Her Sense of Style

    Sarah Jessica Parker graces the January cover of Elle magazine. - Tom Munro/ElleRevered as one of Hollywood's most enduring style icons, Sarah Jessica Parker has graduated from awkward teen in films like "Footloose" to perhaps the most famous shoe fanatic in the world as Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and the City." The actress opens up to Elle magazine about fighting the aging process, juggling three kids, a showbiz husband, a burgeoning branded empire, and now, a gig as President and Chief Creative Officer of the fashion brand Halston.

    Unlike some actresses in their 40s that we won't mention by name, the 45-year-old star of the upcoming film "I Don't Know How She Does It" isn't Botoxed to the nines so she looks like one of The Joker's accomplices, and freely admits that she's wrinkling up just like the rest of us mere mortals.

    "I don't know what I can do about the aging," Parker says with a laugh, adding, "Yes, I am aging. Oh my God, I'm aging all the time. It's like those flowers that wilt in front of you in time-lapse films. But what can I possibly do? Look like a

  • Emma Stone Goes Blonde!

    "Zombieland" actress Emma Stone has switched up her signature fiery red look in favor of a brand new blonde hairdo, which she debuted on the red carpet at the Trevor Live benefit in West Hollywood on Sunday.

    Emma sports wavy dark locks at the GQ Men of the Year party in L.A. - Todd Williamson/WireImage.comThe actress debuted her new look at the Trevor Live benefit on December 5, 2010. - Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage.com

    Though Stone is in fact a natural blonde, the actress has made her name sporting red or brunette locks in movies like "Easy A" and "Superbad." Why the move to the dark side in the first place?

    "When I first moved to L.A., I had this agent who thought, because I was blonde, that I only wanted to play cheerleaders," Stone told Britain's The Independent. "So she'd send me out for all these parts where they thought: 'What a weird 15-year-old. It's not going to work out!' I don't know if anyone necessarily underestimated me as a blonde -- I think I just had a crappy agent. So one day, in a fit of trying to do something different, I just dyed my hair dark brown and got my first role a week later, after which I thought: 'People are close-minded, man! Like a different hair color changes

  • Fashion Faceoff: Courtney vs. Julianne

    Don't you just love the contrast when a good little former reality starlet and a troubled rock star wear the same dress? "Dancing With the Stars" alum Julianne Hough and Hole frontwoman Courtney Love were both spotted out sporting the same lace Marchesa gown. Question is ... who wore it better?

    Courtney Love in Los Angeles, October 27, 2010. - John Shearer/Getty ImagesJulianne Hough in Los Angeles, November 21, 2010 - Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

    Eternal hot mess Courtney Love hit the red carpet in the sheer, strapless lace number for the amfAR Inspiration Gala celebrating men's style in Los Angeles on October 27. The 46-year-old singer paired her dress with an array of inked body art, an eclectic collection of jewelry, and a messy, curly 'do.

    One month later Ryan Seacrest's lady love donned the same Marchesa frock for the American Music Awards in L.A. on November 21. The 22-year-old "Burlesque" star opted for old-school Hollywood dramatic tresses, chandelier earrings, and a sparkling silver clutch.

    First off, I honestly don't love this dress. I'd like it much better if they ripped off the sheer bottom section a la Jamie Lee Curtis

  • Reese Witherspoon: ‘I Would Love to Have More Kids’

    Reese Witherspoon graces the January cover of Glamour magazine sporting a Burberry Prorsum dress. - Ellen von Unwerth/GlamourFamously know as a commanding type-A personality, Reese Witherspoon has chilled out quite a lot over the past few years. Though she's made 25 films (and produced five) by the age of 35, the chronic overachiever tells Glamour magazine that she's appreciating the simple things in life these days -- hanging out with her two kids, Ava and Deacon, and her boyfriend, Hollywood agent Jim Toth.

    Though she denies that she's engaged to Toth, Witherspoon does reveal some interesting insight on the difference between dating another actor -- her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe and former beau of two years Jake Gyllenhaal -- and dating a non-celebrity. "I have a little perspective on this," says the "How Do You Know" star, adding, "I wouldn't say it's easier. Every relationship has its own dynamic. And I don't want to disparage any of the other relationships that I've had that were meaningful and wonderful. But what I'm finding out is that it's very comfortable to be with somebody who understands my
