  • Chris Pine Is ‘Unstoppable’

    Chris Pine smolders on the November cover of Details. - Matthias Vriens-McGrath/DetailsFor a guy who's best known for his role in last year's action blockbuster hit "Star Trek," Chris Pine is surprisingly cerebral. In a revealing interview with Details for their November issue, Pine opens up about dating girls, his efforts to be more spontaneous, and getting out of his own head space.

    With the milestone of his 30th birthday rapidly approaching, Chris Pine is slowly cracking up. As well as the aches and pains he's experiencing as part of his very physical role in the play "The Lieutenant of Inishmore," -- "I tore my groin. I pulled my neck and my glute, tweaked my rhomboid, sprained my sacrum" -- Pine is feeling fatigue of the brain-strain kind.

    "I feel prematurely old," admits the actor, adding, "I'm actually having this major belated quarter-life crisis. I'm turning 30 in a couple of weeks. I've been thinking a lot about mortality. A lot about what I'm going to do with my life and how to enjoy it. One of the things I'm going to work on is being more spontaneous,

  • Willow Whips Up a Frenzy

    Willow Smith in New York City, August 31, 2010. - Kevin Mazur/WireImage.coProving that her big brother Jaden ("The Karate Kid") isn't the only rising star in the family, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's daughter Willow's very first single, "Whip My Hair" -- which is guaranteed to get stuck in your head on repeat -- debuted today, and along with a surefire trip to the chiropractor, it's bound to inspire a slew of tributes, parodies, and quite a few Halloween costumes too!

    Beating all others to the punch, a viral video mash-up of the 9-year-old's addictive song hit the web before her official video had even been released, cleverly laying Willow's track over the "Sesame Street" video for "I Love My Hair." The parody is below, and you can check out the original over at YouTube.

    Willow's official video clip -- which is the first track off her upcoming record that's being released by Jay-Z's label Rock-A-Fella -- has the slick, high polish of a professional effort, with no expense spared. This is no ground-roots YouTube sensation, but a masterfully manufactured

  • Anne Hathaway: ‘I’m Too Trusting’

    Anne Hathaway graces the November cover of Vogue. - Mario Testino/VogueIn a series of simply stunning images that evoke Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" as well as the actress' own fairytale "Princess Diaries" films, Anne Hathaway shows her fashion savvy -- and also a surprising style naivety -- in the November issue of Vogue.

    As she heads over to the Gare du Nord train station in Paris after finishing up her Vogue cover shoot at the iconic restaurant Maxim's, Anne decides to detour into the Paris Hermes store, and lets us in on a little secret that, for a girl who is a red carpet regular, seems extremely hard to believe. "I've never seen a Kelly bag or a Birkin bag in person," she says, adding, "and at my age, it's about time." Of course, the star of the upcoming drama, "Love and Other Drugs," is immediately recognized by the Hermes staff with cries of "C'est Anne 'Atta-way!" and is besieged by various colors and sizes of both coveted bags.

    Though she falls in love with a particular Birkin, she shows remarkable restraint and leaves purchasing

  • Baby Ballerinas

    Jennifer Garner takes Violet to ballet class in Santa Monica. - Leo/X17online.comPretty much every girl, at some point in her life, has pranced around in a tutu. I still remember, when after much pleading on my behalf, my mom whipped up my first pink tulle tutu on her sewing machine, and I didn't take it off for a week.

The 26-year-old -- who has lost a zillion dress sizes since she broke up with her fiance Luke Worrall in July -- opted to wear her mini minus a belt, though she also opted for black pumps. Chunky bangles, a green clutch for a pop of color, and a chic blond updo completed her elegant look.

    This is a tough one! Rose looks so
