Remember when movie vampires were scary, bloodthirsty killers? Nope? Thanks to "Twilight," neither do I. Or should I say neither did I -- until I recently saw DreamWorks/Disney's remake of "Fright Night."

Starring Anton Yelchin ("Terminator Salvation"), Toni Collette ("The Sixth Sense"), David Tennant (TV's "Dr. Who"), and Golden Globe winner Colin Farrell ("In Bruges") as vampire Jerry Dandridge, "Fright Night" returns the genre to its roots: horror, not high school. While the PG-13-rated "Twilight" franchise has found a massive following (primarily teenage girls) by focusing on a silly love triangle, unnecessarily shirtless werewolves, and vegetarian vampires (lame!), "Fright Night" is aiming to please the real fang fanatics out there who are looking for a violent, R-rated romp that delivers actual chills ... and an actual villain.

Are you ready for yet another designer dress duel? This go-round, Kristen Stewart takes on Christina Aguilera!

First up, the 21-year-old "Twilight" star. Kristen popped a pose in the asymmetrical lace Valentino looker upon arriving at a screening of her movie, "Welcome to the Rileys," way back in October of last year. The woman better known as Bella Swan paired the dress with a teased updo, smokey eyes, fire-engine red lipstick, and black satin Brian Atwood pumps. Tres chic, no?

Meanwhile, Xtina attempted to rock the exact same frock just this week to the star-studded Mary J. Blige Honors Concert in NYC. The "voice's" resident vixen accessorized with bow-adorned peep-toes and a Snooki-like spray tan.

Here at omg!, our fashion faceoffs tend to result in close calls, but this battle easily belongs to K-Stew. We aren't normally in her corner (when it comes to her clothing choices), but we have to admit that she's rapidly maturing into beautiful young woman with a decent sense of style.

 A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to chat with tennis's biggest hitter and budding fashionista Serena Williams. My time with the 10-time Grand Slam champ was limited to 20 minutes, but it was a total treat nonetheless. After discussing the current state of the women's game (she's overwhelmed by the number of Russian players in the Top 50), her philanthropic efforts (she opened a school in Africa in 2008), and her upcoming projects (there's a TV show and a book in the works), our talk quickly turned to fashion.

Can you tell us a little bit about your new fashion line?
Well, it's Serena's Signature Statement, which is my new line coming out for HSN, which I'm super, super excited about. Great price points. We have bags, we have clothes, and we have jewelry. I'm always wearing great jewelry on the court. I'm doing some super pieces that are really special and fun!

What made you interested in working with HSN?
Well, I always watch HSN. I think they have great products, and they're

Remember, back in the early to mid '90s, when Jeremy Piven guested on "Seinfeld," starred on "Ellen," and appeared in many major motion pictures, including "Singles," "Heat," and "Grosse Pointe Blank"? That Jeremy Piven isn't the Jeremy Piven you probably know from his current, long-standing gig on HBO's "Entourage." Why? Because 15 years ago Jeremy didn't have much hair left on his head, and, these days, a thick 'do sits atop his dome.

Look, we get it. Male pattern baldness affects millions of men (and even some women) worldwide. It's often unsightly; it can be soul-crushing, and it's expensive to correct. But, with a fat bank account -- like Jeremy must have had by the end of the '90s -- a hair transplant or custom-made toupee is easily affordable. Long story short (too late), Jeremy had some work done, landed the role of Ari Gold on "Entourage," and has seen his star continue to rise ever since fixing his follicle debacle.

But, Jeremy isn't alone.

Another actor, "Karate Kid" alum

Yep, it's that time of year again. Time to unveil the list of stars you celeb-obsessed Yahoo! users were searching for in 2010. While the Top 10 doesn't contain too many shockers, we were surprised to see a few major players missing in action. Paris Hilton, Beyonce, Jennifer Aniston, Rihanna, and the Jonas Brothers -- all A-listers who've made the list in years past -- were nowhere to be found. Taking a few of those coveted spots ... Top 10 newcomers Katy Perry and Taylor Swift, who -- in addition to delivering a ton of hits this year -- also delivered the drama thanks to a "Sesame Street" scandal and buzzy rumors that Taylor's song "Dear John" was about her romance with John Mayer.

But the roster wasn't the only thing that made us scratch our heads -- the order also caught us a little off-guard. Kim Kardashian ... in the runner-up position?! Whenever we post an article, blog, or fashion gallery on omg! featuring the reality star, it clicks like hot cakes, but we never guessed she'd

Last night, I had the unbelievable opportunity to attend Glee Live, the debut concert tour featuring the stars of the hit FOX series. Needless to say, it was AMAZING ... not that I expected anything less!

I was at the first of four LA shows at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, which happened to be the group's third live performance (the first two took place at Dodge Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona). As I made my way through the crowded theme park en route to the venue, I was surprised to see so many fans decked out in homemade "Glee" ensembles. Girls were in bedazzled "gleek" baby tees; guys were in Sue Sylvester-inspired track suits, and I even spotted a granny rocking an "I heart Will Schuester" sweatshirt. I can't deny it;  I secretly wanted to steal it from her. Waiting for the ticket taker to grant me entry, I could sense the excitement of my fellow concert-goers. We knew that an unforgettable evening was already underway.

Katie Cassidy strikes a pose as Ella Simms on "Melrose Place." - CWThis time last year, I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the movie set of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" in suburban Chicago. For a horror film fanatic like me, the experience was undoubtedly amazing. In addition to meeting the producers (Platinum Dunes' Brad Fuller and Andrew Form), the director (Sam Bayer), and the new Freddy Krueger himself (played to perfection by Oscar nominee Jackie Earle Haley), I was introduced to one of the film's other stars, the captivating Katie Cassidy.

Needless to say, I was beyond excited to meet the blond bombshell. Not only was I on the set of my favorite horror franchise, watching the gruesome, gloved killer stalk Katie's character, Kris, but I was also about to chat with the scream queen who has starred in two other horror remakes (2006's "When a Stranger Calls" and "Black Christmas") and who had recently been cast to play the resident bad girl in the highly anticipated "Melrose Place" reboot. The original "MP" is my guiltiest of

Jonathan Antin strikes a pose. - Kevin Lynch/Bravo PhotoA few weeks ago, I had the unbelievable opportunity to chat with entrepreneuer and hairstylist-to-the-stars, Jonathan Antin. My time with the razor-sharp "Shear Genius" judge was limited, but it was a total treat nonetheless. Long story short ... he's everything you'd expect and more: outspoken, charming, and dedicated to his craft. Check out this excerpt from my interview with Jonathan, and don't forget to tune into the season finale of "Shear Genius" on Wednesday, April 7 at 10pm on Bravo to see the sassy stylist crown this year's champ!

What made you decide to pursue a career in hair?

"I was 16 years old, and I had just gotten my first car ... and as a good grandson I went to go pick up my grandmother at a beauty school where she was having her hair done. I was sitting in the beauty school with her in Hollywood, and the instructor was up at the chalkboard drawing heads of hair and teaching this one type of haircut. At the time, I didn't know what he was talking about, but it was
