Hooray for House of Holland!

The fashion crowd has moved on to Milan, but House of Holland’s show back in London is still on everyone’s lips. Nothing screamed fun in fashion louder than Henri Holland’s event on Tuesday night. His BFF, Agyness Deyn, opened the show dressed in a super cute green trouser and jacket combo followed by an array of girls wearing similar Pantone-inspired outfits. (Think Coldplay at this year’s Grammys translated into runway language.) If the fun and energetic clothes didn’t get even the most tired of all fashionistas moving, it must have been The Misshapes’ beats making Henri and Aggy stage what they do best… parties!

10 Things I Hate About You: From Film to Sitcom

“I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair…” We all know the lines to the famous poem from our favorite teen movie, 10 Things I Hate About You, and—lucky for us—ABC Family is planning a TV spin-off of the film! The sitcom, which is expected to premiere this summer, has already been cast and includes some potential small-screen heartthrobs. While Ethan Peck will play the late Heath Ledger’s rebel-turned-“I need you, baby!” character, Patrick Verona, Chris Zylka takes on Andrew Keegan’s stuck-up aspiring model character, Joey Donner. The question is will these young stars fill their predecessor’s shoes—and steal our hearts as well? Tune in to find out!

Erin Lucas' City Style

Catching the tail end of breast cancer nonprofit The Pink Agenda’s event last night, Erin Lucas of The City showed up at The Eldridge in an adorably eclectic outfit. Hot pink tights that she borrowed from a friend, a simple black tank dress, and gold costume jewelry made up the majority of her ensemble. The finishing touch? An ornamented Patricia Fields feather that she bobby-pinned the back of her head. “Patricia Fields makes the best headpieces,” said Lucas of her pretty plume. So, just in case you were in the market for some decorative headgear, now you know where to look.

A Swift Duet With Selena Gomez

Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift sang a sweet duet at this month’s Grammy Awards, and now Miley’s frenemy, Selena Gomez, is hoping to team up with the country music singer as well. The Disney star is busy making her first album due out this summer. Selena told AceShowbiz that she’s a fan of Taylor because she “is not just plain country, [but] she’s got a little pop edge to her.” Could Taylor be making room for a new best friend? What do you think about her pairing up with Selena? Tell us in comments! —Christa Lee

Red Carpet Buzz: Jennifer Aniston

At the Academy Awards, Jennifer Aniston joined funnyman Jack Black to present the awards for Best Animated Film (Wall-E) and Best Animated Short Film (“La Maison des Petits Cubes”). Aniston looked plenty animated herself in a sparkly silver Valentino gown, Jimmy Choo sandals, and dazzling Fred Leighton jewelry.

Red Carpet Buzz: Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa Hudgens looked stunning on the red carpet for Sunday night’s Oscars. The High School Musical actress wore an eye-catching black strapless Marchesa gown with embroidered silk feathers. Though it’s a spectacular ensemble, however, we can’t decide what’s cuter—the Diamante drop earrings or boyfriend Zac Efron! Either way, great accessories, V!

The Hills, Round 5

Drama alert! Thought you’d never see the day when Lauren and Heidi would reunite? Fans of The Hills will love to hear that our fave reality show is back for a brand-new season! Starting next month we’ll be able to tune in to see what’s in store for Lauren and the gang. The trailer for the new season aired last night on the after-show of The City, and from the looks of it Heidi re-enters Lauren’s life, Spencer is still living up to his sleazy ways, and the girls move out of their home. Do Heidi and Spencer stand a chance? Will Lauren and Heidi put past issues aside? Tell us what you think!

An Eclipse on Twilight


The third installment of Twilight has just received a green light. Eclipse is set for release on June 30, 2010. In this film, Bella’s about to graduate and she’s forced to choose between her affection for Edward or her friendship with Jacob—adding coal to the fiery brawl between werewolves and vampires. High school sure sounds pretty stressful these days. I remember when I just had to worry about getting my locker to open! —Christa Lee
