Here are some photos from last night’s London premiere of Hummingbird, the latest Jason Statham film. I have to admit, I’m not a big Statham fan, but I know that some of you like him, and I aim to please. Even though his films aren’t my cup of tea, I think Jason is an interesting study in film stardom and celebrity. He’s a little guy who has managed to carve out a niche for himself, starring in an endless stream of action films where he’s always the one running around, kicking ass and shooting guns. He’s sort of like the UK’s version of Mark Walhberg, right? Which is funny because I think Jason and Mark are pretty tight.

Jason is also fascinating to me because he knows the value of having a beautiful, somewhat interesting girlfriend. Jason is not George Clooney – Jason is not dating cocktail waitresses and shady Vegas types. Jason previously dated Kelly Brook and Sophie Monk – he likes beautiful women with profiles of their own. His current lady is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Rosie is 26. Jason is 45. So, there’s that. But his appeal is something else, right? I think he must be really amazing in bed. I’m not even joking. I think he must be mind-blowingly awesome in bed.

As for what Rosie wore to support her man… the dress is Emilio Pucci Fall 2013. Shoes are Casadei. It’s a pretty little minidress, not really my taste but it looks fine on her. She has the body for it and not many women have the body for it. The shoes are awful.

Here’s the trailer for Hummingbird. It looks incredibly violent and the nun is overkill, but I would probably watch this if it came on TV.

Sharon Stone has been killing it in Roberto Cavalli at Cannes this year, and her turn as emcee at the amfAR gala was no exception. AmfAR is Sharon’s baby, and part of the attraction for this gala is that Sharon shows up looking great but behaving in a totally sloshed manner while she leads the auction. It’s entertaining, and there are usually a few onstage ass grabs and some overaffectionate kisses involved.

Sharon seemed to keep a lid on it last night though and didn’t appear totally wasted, and she looked so beautiful in this Cavalli gown that was so sleek that it hugged every curve on her well-maintained body. She got a little bit overzealous with the bronzer, but damn, I’d love to look this good at age 55. The best part of the dress is the back! I don’t even like gold, but the back of this dress is stunning.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was my pick for favorite of the night. She wore a very cute and flirty Christian Dior dress that kept it simple and strapless up top and floated down to a flattering asymmetrical hemline. Her wavy, romantic hair and slightly smokey makeup here are likewise perfect. Sometimes I forget how pretty Rosie really is, but this ensemble brings out all of the highlights. Rosie also walked the catwalk in a bold gold dress that — I think — is Alexander McQueen.

Heidi Klum looked like an utter mess, of course. She almost always wears Marchesa to amfAR Cannes, and she kept the awful dream alive here. This is one hellaciously ugly white and gold specimen. While the bust area of the dress is unflattering, maybe it wouldn’t have been so awful if someone tore off the sheer overlay, but if that happened, it would no longer qualify as a Marchesa piece. Yuck.

Melanie Laurent looked so cute in basic black that flattered her now-prominent baby bump. She’s such a beautiful woman, and I’m sad that she’s not a bigger draw in the United States. Maybe someday.

Paz Vega wore a black Vionnet made out of jersey material and topped with spaghetti straps. I like this a lot more than I probably should considering that this was a gala. Paz has the perfect figure to pull off this dress, and she kept it simple while adding bold makeup and a sleek, shiny hairdo. Gorgeous.

Milla Jovovich seems a bit off this year at Cannes. Usually, she goes with some old school glamour or an equally dramatic look, but she fades into the background with this fluffy Valentino couture gown. The color isn’t quite blush pink, right? This is more of an off-white gown with so many tiered ruffles and beaded bits of floral embroidery that the look is really one of overkill. Without the sheer sleeves, this gown might have been passable, but the sleeves make the dress look matronly. I’m not digging the braided updo either, and Milla seems so muted here in terms of personality too.

Karolina Kurkova looked dreadful while wearing a Cavalli cut-out gown that made her look a lot hippier than her natural shape. The serpent bracelet is a cool touch though.

Finally, here’s our breath of fresh air for the evening, Christoph Waltz. He looks a bit troubled as if he’s wondering, “What are all these bitches wearing? And …. oh nooooo, here comes Sharon Stone for an ass grab!”

As many of you know, I love Kate Upton so, so much, but she looked pretty dreadful at last night’s Met Gala. For a punk-themed event, this was not the look I envisioned from a (relatively) versatile model who can really vamp it up. On this red carpet, Kate wore a shapeless, green Diane Von Furstenberg gown that draped in all the wrong places and clung to nothing at all. This dress did nothing at all for Kate’s voluptuous figure, and the tailoring as very loose and sloppy as well. Poor Kate looks like a Real Housewife here when she could have really strutted her stuff in a great Marc Jacobs or Dolce dress.

If one can set aside the awful dress for just a moment, things don’t get much better here for Kate. She’s overdone the tanning lotion, the makeup is just blah, and her hair is boring too. At the very least, she could have gone with a more dramatic updo instead of this lazy uptwist. Bad styling all around. This could have been a great evening for Kate!

Rosie Huntington-Whitely brought it the most out of all the models in this group by choosing a metallic and mesh Gucci gown that looked like liquid gold mating with the most uppity of punky vibes. Rosie pulls off the mostly sheer top very well with her statuesque frame, and not even feathery, winged boobs can destroy this look. The capped sleeves with a bit of fringe might be a bit too much, and I’m not a huge fan of the massive drop earrings, but Rosie’s hair and makeup are just right for this dress.

Heidi Klum continues to amaze me with her ability to make an excellent living as a supermodel but still continuously mess up on the red carpet. First off, Heidi chose a Marchesa gown, which is never a good sign. Secondly, she completely ignored the theme and went with a “Vegas showgirl” vibe. I guess we should all just be grateful that her girls aren’t hanging out all over the place. Instead, she looks like Disney on Ice.

Karolina Kurkova looks a bit out of place with such a short, short dress at such a formal event, but that’s okay. Karolina is wearing Mary Katrantzou with a very loud, mismatched print top and skirt with one sleeve. If not for the punk theme, she would have looked pretty ridiculous, but she carries off the look with a fun attitude.

I do not consider Blake Lively to be any kind of style icon. First of all, “icon” gets thrown around too much, and I’m very much “pro” a more conservative parceling out of “icon” status. Like, Nicole Kidman is a style icon. Cate Blanchett is a style icon. Get it? They have decades of iconic red carpet moments to choose from. While I always enjoy seeing Blake on the red carpet, mostly it’s because she gets it wrong. She has a pretty face (imo) and a great body, but all too often she fugs it up in Marchesa or some oddly-proportioned minidress. All of this would be just fine, but the fashion-media always talks about Blake like she’s the second coming of Grace Kelly or something, so there is a problem with the expectations and the reality.

Where was I going with this? Oh, yeah. Since getting married, Blake has definitely been more low-key – she’s only made a few public statements since her wedding, and she’s barely been on any red carpets. I miss her! But Blake has a new interview in Us Weekly, and she’s talking about whose style SHE admires: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley!

She’s become a bonafide fashion icon in her own right thanks to six seasons as the label-loving Serena van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl, so Blake Lively knows impeccable A-list style when she sees it. First on Lively’s list of celebrity style crushes: None other than catwalk queen Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

“She’s just perfect looking — always!” Lively, 25, raves to Us Weekly of Jason Statham’s Victoria’s Secret model girlfriend, 25. “She looks so regal and elegant all the time and I love that. I love that’s she’s a young woman who dresses of times past and isn’t afraid to dress up. It’s really special to be able to celebrate style like that.”

In terms of her own fashion choices, Lively — a fan of designers like Louboutin and Marchesa — says she draws inspiration from centuries ago and the styles worn by the likes of Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly.

“I love the sophistication and every single detail,” explains the star. “I would love it I could wear little cut off gloves everyday. Go to the grocery store in a beautiful hat with lace draping over your eye. That would make me so happy.”

Never afraid to push boundaries with her own look, Lively indulged her passion for fashion in September 2012 when she walked down the aisle to marry Ryan Reynolds in a wedding gown she co-designed with Marchesa’s Georgina Chapman. “I’ve worked with her so many times and know her so well,” Chapman told Us at the time of Lively, who had lots of input on her custom-designed beaded gown that featured a silk tulle bodice and rose-gold embroidery.

The actress, Chapman raves, “has a very clean sense of fashion . . .such an innate style.”

I like the way Rosie dresses most of the time too! But I think Rosie benefits greatly from her Burberry contract – Burberry is one of the best brands to be associated with, and whenever Rosie looks particularly good on a red carpet or on the street, you can bet that she’s wearing Burberry.

As for this mess: “I would love it I could wear little cut off gloves everyday. Go to the grocery store in a beautiful hat with lace draping over your eye. That would make me so happy.” I rolled my eyes. Did you? I mean, who is she kidding? And even if she did wear cut-off gloves and a lace-draped hat, she would look like Desperately Seeking Susan-era Madonna rather than a Chanel model.

Yowza. Jennifer Lawrence killed it at the Vanity Fair Oscar party after her rise (and fall) on the way to claim her gold-plated statuette. This gown is Calvin Klein, and this is how you do shiny and metallic well … unlike Halle Berry’s dress for the evening. Does anyone actually think this dress would have looked better at the awards ceremony itself instead of the poufy Dior ball gown? It would have never happened though because Jlaw’s contractually obligated to wear Dior to most major events now, but a girl can dream.

This was JLaw’s night, and she clearly enjoyed the hell out of herself in this dress that highlighted every curve on her body. Everything about this look — from the fit to the hair and makeup to the simple yet bold jewelry (even the statement ring) — is perfection here. I dare you to find a flaw. Finally, her stylist got it all right at the very last possible moment of the awards season.

Zooey Deschanel didn’t look at all like her usual whimsiquirkalicious self in this drab Valentino dress. It’s a pretty dress, but it didn’t jump out and (obnoxiously?) grab you like most of Zooey’s wardrobe. Honestly, she looked kind of miserable, and the dress really swallowed her up. Her new haircut is really cute though!

Hot Jason Statham was there with Rosie Huntington-Whitely, who wore a really ugly Valentino couture dress. So many ruffles, and so many layers, and so much pink. Not only was the dress pink, but Rosie pinked up her mood lips too. The choker portion of this getup looks very uncomfortable as well. At least Jason looked good, but it’s pretty hard to mess up a tux. Guys are so lucky that way.

Leslie Mann wore a red-orange Andrew Gn gown with long sleeves and an understated plunge to the neckline. I think she looked really great here! Even though she’s totally covered up, Leslie managed to look both sexy and sophisticated due to the great fit of this dress. Her hair and makeup are typical of her usual style, but they’re still gorgeous here. This is how to be alluring while not letting one’s rack fall out all over the red carpet.

Leonardo DiCaprio covers the February issue of August magazine, which is a men’s style rag that I’ve never heard of. The cover isn’t the most flattering shot of Leo, but you can see the rest of the shoot, which is slightly better, at Just Jared. I’ll get to some interview excerpts in a moment, but first I wanted to talk about a brand new story about single Leo on the prowl. When he broke up with Erin Heatherton last November, Leo reportedly dated co-star Margot Robbie immediately afterwards, but we haven’t heard much about Margot in at least a month. Since then, Leo has announced an indefinite break from acting, which means that he’s been yachting with Naomi Campell and friends as well as taking time to shoot a Jack Daniels commerical.

In addition, Leo has also apparently been trying to find a new model girlfriend. By now, it’s kind of a joke that Leo’s M.O. consists of ordering his giflfriends from the Victoria’s Secret catalog. He’s been with Gisele Bunchen, Bar Refaeli, and Erin, and rumor has it that he and Miranda Kerr have been flirty and cozy together too. So who else’s dog-eared lingerie shots has Leo been fondling in the bathroom? Well, Rosie-Huntington Whiteley for one, and Jason Statham isn’t having it at all. Here are the details:

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley may be gorgeous but she is very much taken, not that Jason Statham’s girlfriend’s relationship status seemed to bother Leonardo DiCaprio who apparently was spotted trying to chat up the stunning model!

An insider at Harvey Weinstein’s Golden Globes after party has told Now Magazine that ladies man Leo tried to make a move for model Rosie. Hardman Jason, who has been dating Rosie for almost three years, soon shut down the flirting though:

“After some small talk, Leo introduced Rosie to his posse and poured her a glass of bubbly. She seemed interested, but unaware that Leo was smitten,” the source alleges. “When Jason spotted his gal with Leo, he summoned her to his side and didn’t let her out of his sight for the rest of the evening.”

Undeterred, confirmed bachelor Leo apparently just moved onto to another hot girl to continue his flirting. Taking things in his stride, Leo soon made a play for another hot girl.

Atta boy, Jason. The dude might not make movies about thinking, but he’s not stupid. Leo’s reputation as a modelizer definitely precedes him, and if he tries this stunt again, Jason would easily be able to kick Leo’s ass into next July. How funny. Now back to Leo’s interview with August Man, and here are some excerpts:

Why he loves acting: “It’s always an eternal sort of mystery in making movies, and that’s the great fun, challenge, and excitement about doing what I do. As an actor, I do everything possible to tell a great story in a truly artistic way, but at the end of the day you never know how critics and audiences are going to respond.”

On getting older: “I guess the big 4-0 hasn’t entered my consciousness yet. I believe it’s very important to look back on the choices you’ve made and re-analyse where you want your life to go and the things you want to do as an individual. I came from a lower middle-class background where, for me, being an actor never seemed like an achievable dream. Once I got my first opportunity to work on a movie, it’s really been a mad rush to fulfil that dream.”

His goals for the future: “My goal is to keep doing great work? I haven’t stopped yet and hopefully the work will never stop. While I’m here, I will always have that drive to not only produce great work, but to make a difference in the world.”

His back-up career plan “In my adult life, my environmental work and activism remain a priority. I created a foundation that focuses on raising public awareness of the very important issues concerning our planet, our environment, and the impact we as people have on the world we live in? It is not only an extremely fulfilling and gratifying learning experience, but has also taken me to some of the most interesting and beautiful places in the world.”

[From August Man]

I know that Leo is commonly regarded as one of the greatest actors of his generation, but it’s still a bit jarring to see that he also sees himself that way with the “great work” comment. I’d wonder whatever happened to humility, but I guess Leo’s early success and lucky dovetail into Martin Scorsese’s waiting arms (after Robert DeNiro proved to be such a disappointment during recent decades) means that he never has to worry about not having the luxury of choosing from quality scripts.

Just for kicks, here are some older covers from Leo’s appearances in the July 2010 and August 2011 issues of August Man. His face has changed rather rapidly in just a few years, right?

Did you know that CB has a thing for bald men? True story! I mean, she’s not a bald fetishist or anything, but she keeps her eye out for attractive bald or balding men. Like, she’s now a Jude Law fan because he’s losing his hair. And she’s really upset that Jason Statham is no longer shaving his half-bald dome. To be fair to her, I don’t think any of us were pleased with Jason’s appearance at the Golden Globes on Sunday. He seems to have a weird stubble all over his face and on the back of his head and it just seems… weird? Gross? Of course, I’m also including some photos of Jason being interviewed on Extra yesterday (photos at the end of the post), and he looks much better there.

While I’m not a huge Statham fan, I understand why women find him attractive – he seems confident, bordering on arrogant. He looks like a man who knows what he wants, sexually, professionally and otherwise. That’s an attractive quality to many women. So if Jason Statham wants to go out drinking with his boys, he’s going to go out drinking with his boys and his girlfriend, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, isn’t going to have a deal with it. But Rosie is trying to get him to pay more attention to her! Poor Rosie.

Could Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley be headed for a split?

RadarOnline.com spied the pair bickering at the Weinstein Golden Globes party in Los Angeles last Sunday after the 25-year-old Burberry model was fuming that the movie tough guy was worse for wear after guzzling too much Moet & Chandon champagne.

“Rosie hates it when Jason acts like one of the lads and goes out drinking,” the pal revealed. “She thinks his friends are a bad influence on him, and she doesn’t like it when he gets wasted.”

And a close pal to the pair has exclusively told RadarOnline.com that Rosie has warned Jason, 45, that he will lose her if he continues his partying ways!

“When he first started dating Rosie, he curtailed his wild nights out to spend time with her because he wanted to give the relationship a chance,” the source said. “But more recently, Jason’s been having nights out with the boys and not returning home to the early hours of the morning, which infuriates Rosie.

“So, she put her foot down and told Jason that if he’s serious about her he has to curb his partying or she will leave him. Their relationship is really hanging on by a thread at the moment,” the pal divulged.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Rosie was spotted flirting with hunky Dutch actor Soren Hojen at hip Hollywood hangout Sayer’s Club back in October.

“She wouldn’t stop staring at him. She was obviously trying to get his attention — moving her hips and running her hands through her hair. But he still wasn’t noticing her. So she ordered her friend to go up to him and tell him that Rosie thinks he’s cute,” an eyewitness said.

“The friend obliged, and when Soren looked up to see who the friend was referring to, his eyes practically popped out of his head! Rosie smiled, but then Soren said he had a girlfriend, and went back to his friends.”

[From Radar]

Yeah. Jason is 45 years old. He’s set in his ways. He likes doing whatever he likes, and he hasn’t felt the need to change thus far, so Rosie probably won’t change him. And whatever he’s doing works – he’s currently with a 25-year-old Victoria’s Secret model, for God’s sake. And he’s previously dated Kelly Brook and other young, beautiful women. If Rosie leaves him, my guess is that he’ll be able to get another young, beautiful girlfriend at the drop of a hat. Poor Rosie.

Is Jason giving anyone else Bruce Willis (in a good way) vibes in these photos?

Apart from maybe Lucy Lui’s Gone with The Wind disaster, Halle Berry was just about the only Globes attendee wearing a printed dress last night. She was in a celestial print pastel one-shoulder draped Atelier Versace. The bustline made it look like one of her boobs was hanging lower than the other. In true Halle form, she showed off some of her enviable stomach through this dress. So did Halle pull it off? I’ll be damned if she did. Halle loves her 90s fashion and she’s about the only woman who seems to consistently rock it with style. Halle looks gorgeous and offbeat here. She was true to form. Still, this was not occasion appropriate, but what the hell does Halle care? She just wants to look hot. Also, Halle’s eyes look different, don’t they?

This post is somewhat dedicated to the leg-flashers, the women who stuck their legs out, Jolie-style, through the high slit in their gowns. The more time that passes, the more I realize that Jolie was somewhat of a trailblazer for this trend and that we should reserve our mocking for those who follow it blindly. Like I doubt any of these women did this as a joke, particularly Eva Longoria here who is straining to show as much thigh as possible. Look at her caterpillar eyelashes and her Bride of Frankenstein poof. Eva thinks she’s super hot in this black lace dress with slits everywhere. This mess of a dress is custom Emilio Pucci.

Heidi Klum was in her latest go-to designer, Alexandre Vauthier. For Heidi, this tight, high slit gown isn’t bad. For anyone else it’s been done before and it’s not that interesting. Also check out how orange Heidi is.

Also very orange and try-hard is Lea Michele. We just saw her very pap-friendly vacation with her boyfriend, Corey Monteith, so some of this radioactive glow is probably natural, but it looked pretty fake to me on screen. Lea was in Elie Saab. It’s not a bad dress, but she bugs me so much I have a hard time admiring her fashion. Did anyone else get annoyed by the constant L’oreal haircare commercials featuring Lea that aired during the breaks?

And finally Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in black Saint Laurent. This is probably some high fashion gown that I’m not “getting,” but it just looks like a gothic mess to me, like something I would wear to an eighth grade ball and think was cool. I like the belt. I guess Rosie was there as Jason Statham’s date, so they must be going somewhat strong. We heard breakup rumors about these two just about a month ago.

Statham needs to shave that hot head of his. Hair is not a good look for him.

We haven’t heard much from either Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham in ages, it seems. She’s been shooting that ill-fated Mad Max reboot, and he’s probably been busy filming a million Statham-y action movies. Neither one of them has had occasion to walk a red carpet in several months, so there’s not really any red-carpet evidence of them together in recent days.

Now a new story in Star would have us believe that there is trouble in mood-lip paradise. About six months ago, Star got a tip that Rosie was pressuring Jason to put a ring on it or else, and it seems that he hasn’t done that. As a result, Rosie is allegedly pissed off and has called off the relationship. Here’s the story:

Another couple bites the dust. Even though she’s one of the hottest supermodels in the world, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham have split, according to an insider, because he refused to commit. “It was almost a year ago that she gave him a marriage ultimatum,” says the source. “But she’s finally accepting that it’s not going to happen.”

The couple, who had been dating for two years, spent the summer apart. Jason, 45, was in New Orleans filming Homefront whilte Rosie, 25, was filming Mad Max: Fury Road in L.A. “I always see myself working, but being a mom will be a big part of me,” Rosie, an English native, recently said. And now that she’s thrown him off, it’s taking all her willpower to not give in to his attempts to get her back.

“She’s heartbroken and has been sitting on the couch with her dog, watching movies,” says the source. “Jason keeps calling, and she wants to pick up the phone so badly — but she’s trying to white-knuckle through. The nights are the hardest, so she usually just turns her phone off.”

[From Star, December 24, 2012]

Yuck. No good will ever come from pressuring someone else to get married unless one wants to virtually guarantee a few years of resentment before landing in divorce court. If this story is true, Rosie would be better off moving on and finding someone else who isn’t so commitment shy. Is she still a Victoria’s Secret model? Then Leonardo DiCaprio might be a decent (albeit not long-term) jumpoff.

Also, someone please tell me why the Statham wasn’t hired to play Jack Reacher instead of the ridiculously inept Tom Cruise. What a cinematic crime.

These are some photos from last night’s LACMA 2012 Art + Film Gala Honoring Ed Ruscha and Stanley Kubrick presented by Gucci. There were some big names and a ton of B-listers at the event, so I’m just going to cover the most notable people today, and tomorrow we’ll probably have more fashion coverage. Incidentally, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were at the event and they posed for photos inside the event, but neither walked the red carpet. Aniston wore a cleavage-y black dress and she looked pretty good – you can see those photos here.

I suppose the most notable person at the event was Robert Pattinson. Ever since The Twihard Meltdown of 2012, it really feels like Robert is trying to do more “establishment Hollywood” stuff, and he’s doing it solo. Like, when he gets invited to a big industry event or a decent charity event these days, he makes it a point to show up, whereas in the past he might have ignored it. I kind of like seeing him go solo at these kinds of events – it shows that he’s interested in maintaining (and growing) his profile in Hollywood. He looks nice in tux… but his hair is a mess.

Speaking of hot messes, OMG Cameron Diaz. OMG. Just… dear God. She’s wearing Gucci, as most of the women were (for an event sponsored by Gucci). The color is horrendous on her, and the design is just… unflattering. You know what? Cameron Diaz has an amazing figure – she’s leggy and trim and athletic, and this dress makes her look saggy-boob’d, thick-waisted, no-hipped and stick-legged. This dress should be burned.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is wearing Gucci too. This dress is decent from the front, mainly because this is such a surprisingly beautiful color on Rosie. I kind of think the back and the side of the dress is a mess. Too much side-boob, too many back ruffles.

Salma Hayek in Gucci… it’s kind of boring choice for her. But she’s been having an awful style run lately, so she gets points for finding something flattering for her figure, and something that doesn’t look “too young”. I really dislike her hair, though.
