  • Kristen Stewart: My Life Is Pretty Easy

    Stewart dresses in drag in the June issue of Elle (Tom Munro)The previews for the upcoming film "Snow White and the Huntsman" show a world that's much darker than Disney's 1937 animated classic "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." There's no sign of singing dwarfs, and especially no prim princess wearing a sweet little frock. This Snow White gallops on horses while wearing armor, and if she has to wear a dress, it's going to be dark. So as director Rupert Sanders explains, one young actress, known for her slightly rebellious attitude, was a perfect fit for the role: "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart. "[This Snow White's] not a damsel in distress relying on the handsome prince to save her," Sanders reveals to Elle in a new interview with Stewart, 22. "She's someone who bonds the men together to reclaim the kingdom. And Kristen was exactly what she personified: tough, independent, resilient."

  • ‘Modern Family’s’ Sarah Hyland Opens Up About Kidney Transplant

    Stewart ShiningOn "Modern Family," Sarah Hyland portrays Haley, a boy-crazy teen who's most worried about the relationship with her on-again, off-again boyfriend and whether she'll get into college. But in real life, the 21-year-old actress has quietly been dealing with a medical issue that make those problems seem, well, quite small. As she reveals exclusively to Seventeen magazine in a new interview, Hyland's fought a lifelong battle with kidney dysplasia, a condition in which a baby's kidneys don't develop properly in the womb. In early April, she received a kidney transplant from her father, actor Edward James Hyland. "I have a second chance at life, not a lot of people get that," she tells the mag in her first interview about the transplant.

  • Willow Smith Shops at Cartier in Paris

    PacificCoastNews.comShopping at Cartier in Paris is a luxury that most of us will never know, but it's just another day in the life of 11-year-old Willow Smith. The "Whip My Hair" singer spent Thursday browsing the French jewelry store during a getaway in the City of Light. Of course, she sported her signature funky style (a little Nicki Minaj with some Justin Bieber thrown in) with a red fedora, a white button-down shirt tied up, black leggings, and tall black boots — not exactly what you think of when you picture someone who wears Cartier. Maybe the tween was picking out something for mom Jada Pinkett Smith to unwrap this Mother's Day?

  • Tina Fey vs. Chelsea Clinton — Fashion Faceoff

    Funny lady Tina Fey and former first daughter Chelsea Clinton aren't exactly fashion icons. Tina, of course, is known for her Sarah Palin impression on "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock," the show which she produces, writes, and stars in, but her off-screen wardrobe choices are usually more about comfort than style and even, well, a little frumpy. "I almost don't have time during the year to wear clothes," the mom of two recently revealed to People magazine. "I sort of roll out of bed into some pair of jeans and the top of my pajamas, come [to work] and then put on clothes. Then at the end of the day I put the pajama top back on and go home." Chelsea, on the other hand, who has traditionally shied away from the spotlight no matter what she was wearing, surprised us all when it was announced last fall that she would be an on-air correspondent for NBC News, which she does in addition to her work with her family's charitable Clinton Foundation. So what happened when the two were spotted out in the same red lacy dress from designer Oscar de la Renta just 16 months apart? It gives us the chance to play another round of our favorite game by asking ... Who wore it better?

  • Emma Roberts and More Hit Nylon Magazine’s Young Hollywood Party

    Twentysomething actors, such as "Scream 4's" Emma Roberts, "Glee's" Chord Overstreet, and Hollywood offspring Rumer Willis, made the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood the place to be Wednesday night, as they toasted Nylon magazine's annual Young Hollywood Issue. Roberts and Overstreet, who are reportedly dating again after being broken up for three months earlier this year, went casual chic. The stylish Roberts, 21, donned a black-and-white striped cocktail dress by Rachel Zoe, with her hair in curls, while 23-year-old Overstreet opted for a tough black leather jacket and T-shirt over jeans. If Overstreet was in a particularly celebratory mood, it was because Wednesday marked the final day of filming for the third season of "Glee."

  • Miranda Cosgrove Talks Life After ‘iCarly’

    Jason Kibbler/TEEN VOGUEJason Kibbler/TEEN VOGUEIt may be just a kids show, but Nickelodeon's "iCarly" has become a big deal! First Lady Michelle Obama recently appeared on the half-hour comedy, and even Brad Pitt has revealed that he watches it regularly, recently telling People magazine, "'iCarly' is big in our house ... I know every episode." So, of course, Miranda Cosgrove, the 19-year-old actress who plays "iCarly's" title character has seen her star rise exponentially since the show, which is regularly the No. 1 program among kids in the ratings, first aired in 2007. (Her phone was "blowing up" with excited friends after the Pitt confession, she says.) Cosgrove is now the second-highest paid teen on TV (behind "Two and a Half Men's" Angus T. Jones), reportedly earning $180,000 per episode! But in a new interview with Teen Vogue, Cosgrove, now 19, admits that she can't help but feel torn about the role that made her famous and roles in more grown-up projects that might better reflect the young woman she's rapidly becoming. "It's weird when your biggest success is something that you're also trying to break out of," she explains to the magazine.
