Shia’s On GQ Again; I’m Not Complaining

Posted by Kate Alvarez as Carey Mulligan, Shia LaBeouf at 12:00 PM UTC on Mar, 19 2010

I love fun guys. I especially love funny guys who, despite not fitting the cool-heartthrob-in-campus mold, can still disarm you with their muted good looks, natural charm, and knack for adventure.

Shia LaBeouf is one of those young Hollywood actors who play their roles so well. His characters are often klutzy underdogs who emerge as the charming, funny heroes whom you want to have crazy adventures with. Anyone whose role can hook up with Megan Fox’s character is hot in my book.

I seriously believe it was a female member of GQ’s team who fought to have the 23-year-old on the magazine’s April cover—that and his upcoming Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is coming to theaters soon.

Like most celebrities who come of age, Shia’s GQ interview shows a more serious side to the actor.

On the Wall Street trading floors where he went to learn the banking ropes:
“I thought my life was pretty wild. I’m Richie Rich. I land in New York, secretly thinking I’m like the coolest guy in the world. I’ve been on the cover of GQ! But then I met these guys, and it’s humbling. It’s the most sex-drugs-and-rock-‘n’-roll atmosphere that exists on the planet. I was hanging out with some wild human beings.”

On his newfound hobby, trading:
“I trade in my boxers now. I’m up early for the markets. I’m real-time all day long.”

On his relationship with co-star and girlfriend Carey Mulligan:
“I never really had anything in my life that was off-limits. he says. But with this, just out of respect, I just don’t want to fuck around. She’s an unbelievably thought-provoking actress, the most talented actress I’ve ever met in my life, by leaps and bounds. Neither one of us are fame whores. It works out. It’s not like we’re the premiere couple; we’re not the red-carpet king and queen.”

That Carey Mulligan is one lucky lady.

Oscars 2010: Best Dressed Ladies

Posted by Kate Alvarez as Anna Kendrick, Cameron Diaz, Carey Mulligan, Demi Moore, Diane Kruger, Elizabeth Banks, Jennifer Lopez, Kristen Stewart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Oscars, Rachel McAdams, Vera Formiga at 10:00 AM UTC on Mar, 08 2010

The stars usually save their best threads for the biggest awards show of the year—The Academy Awards. See which women stood out in the Oscar 2010 red carpet.

Spring is coming! Rachel McAdams’ pastel-patterned Elie Saab Haute couture gown took the attention away from the dark, monochrome hues of the lingering Winter season.

The 40-year-old singer/actress still has her famous curves. J.Lo flaunted them in this Armani Privé gown with a dramatic train, Ferragamo pumps, and Cartier diamonds.

I’m not usually a fan of celebs who wear black in the red carpet, because it’s such a safe, cliché choice, but Carey Mulligan made me do a 360 with her black Swarovski-encrusted Prada.

It’s great to see actresses stay away from solid-hued dresses for change. Maggie Gyllenhaal, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, wore a brushstroke-print Dries Van Noten gown accessorized with vintage Fred Leighton jewels.

Cameron Diaz opted for old Hollywood glamour in this Oscar de la Renta gown matched with Cartier jewels.

Presenter Kristen Stewart surprised red carpet critics with her feminine custom-made dress. This Monique Lhuillier navy trumpet gown was a refreshing change from Kristen’s usually boyish/rocker outfits.

Ruffled would be an understatement for Vera Formiga’s choice of gown. The Best Supporting Actress nominee’s Marchesa gown stood out from the crowd.

Diane Kruger was Chanel’s muse that night. Her ruffled Chanel Haute Couture Collection gown accessorized with Chanel jewelry gave her look a vintage vibe.

I loved Best Supporting Actress nominee Anna Kendrick’s flow-y Elie Saabe Couture gown. She accessorized well with her Judith Leiber clutch and Kwiat diamonds.

Elizabeth Banks’ glamorous gown was no gray area. Her sparkling Fred Leighton jewelry looked great with her ruffled Versace number.

Demi Moore’s fashion choices are usually hit-or-miss. What a relief to see that this night was a hit. Her Atelier Versace gown flaunted her fab figure.

BAFTA’s Red Carpet Head Turners

Posted by Kate Alvarez as Anna Kendrick, Audrey Tautou, Carey Mulligan, Kate Winslet, Kristen Stewart, Olivia Williams, The Red Carpet at 11:00 AM UTC on Feb, 22 2010

Last Sunday’s British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards brought out some pretty interesting looks. Here are those whose ensembles screamed, “Check me out!”

Anna Kendrick, who was nominated for best supporting actress in Up in the Air, stole the red carpet spotlight in her canary yellow ruffled Pucci dress and Jimmy Choo shoes.

Look who’s shedding a few pounds! Kate Winslet looked hot in this Stella McCartney dress with dramatic cutout panels.

Carey Mulligan, who took home the Best Actress award for her role in An Education, stood out in this printed Vionnet frock.

Uh-oh! Audrey Tautou was nominated for her role in a biopic of Coco Chanel, but her pink asymmetric number is by Alber Elbaz for Lanvin!

Olivia Williams left little to the imagination with this dress by Catherine Walker.

Always the reserved one in red carpet appearances, Kristen Stewart still managed to please fashion critics with this strapless Chanel minidress. She also won the Orange Rising Star Award—the only prize to be voted for by the public.
