Victoria Beckham is tough

 

Burn the Booties

Victoria Beckham is tough—just look at how she wrapped a bunch of Band-Aids around her feet to hobble into the CFDA/Vogue event! No word on what her injuries are, but she pairs her victimized ankles with head-to-ankle Beckham—naturally—in a white lace shirt, A-line skirt, and bugeye shades—probably to hide the pain in her eyes.

Oh, Jennifer Lopez, just because you know how caliente you are at the UNESCO Charity Gala in Germany doesn't mean you need to turn on that sexy face and try to burn a hole through our heads. Yes, this Lanvin one-shoulder Chantilly lace gown with a velvet sash makes you look like walking sex; yes, we're jealous of your curves and...OK, you win at life.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have shacked up once again in an L.A.-area home

While things appear to be rosy for the Hollywood couple, Us' source implied Kristen is still earning back Rob's trust because he "is extra-sensitive right now. He's insecure." The rekindled romance bodes well for the upcoming promotional run for the pair's final Twilight film, which hits theaters November 16.

Speaking of Breaking Dawn, the more cynical (realistic?) realms of the Internet find the timing of the reunion pretty convenient. What better way to drum up drama and excitement for a film than creating a real-life soap opera involving its two biggest stars? As BoxOffice.com's Phil Contrino told us, "It definitely helps. The idea that these two are in love in real-life makes the film more enjoyable for fans and that leads to more money at the box office."

No wonder KStew wasn't worried about what everyone assumed would be a torturously awkward press tour come November when Breaking Dawn hits theaters. "We're going to be fine," Stewart told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month. "We're totally fine." Guess she was right.

Rejoice sweet world, true love lives to see another day! The roller coaster of emotion that is Robsten seems to headed in a positive direction, at least according to the never wrong "inside sources" of US Magazine.

The gossip mag reported today that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have shacked up once again in an L.A.-area home. This coming just 10 days after their tearful and dramatic reconciliation in which Rob forgave Kristen for her affair with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders (who is nearly twice her age and has a wife and kids, but that's a whole other story).

Baby Blue is enough for proud parents Jay-Z and Beyonce

When an E! correspondent asked if the couple is expanding their family, the rapper responded: "Tonight? No."

"What about in nine months?" the interviewer prodded at an event in NYC this week.

"Not in nine months," Jay said. "Absolutely not."

He then clarified further: "No," he said. "Not in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or nine months."

The couple welcomed Blue Ivy just eight months ago and they've since been busy with their careers and introducing their little girl to the world of luxury yachting.

Baby Blue is enough for proud parents Jay-Z and Beyonce. For now, at least.

After a round of rumors this week about the singer being pregnant with baby No. 2, Jay-Z confirmed his hot wife is not expecting. She's not Tori Spelling, okay?

Victoria Beckham brought her usual brand of clean lines and sexy, structured silhouettes to the runway for her Spring 2013 collection

  
    Trends: Sheer panels, cutouts, maxi skirts, colorblocking.
    Colors: Black, white, red, cream.
    Key Piece: The black pencil dress with mesh panel top and cream-colored ankle-bootie heels.
    Accessories: Wide-brimmed hats, lace-up flat sandals, buckled loafers, perforated belts.
    Who Should Wear It: Polished, put-together women who love to show off their curves: Blake Lively, Sofia Vergara, and Jennifer Lopez.

Victoria Beckham brought her usual brand of clean lines and sexy, structured silhouettes to the runway for her Spring 2013 collection. The designer incorporated her signature colorblocking into easygoing pieces like flippy pleated skirts, layered silk shift dresses, and a subtle pop of bright red around the neckline of a white, button-down blouse. The shoes were equally clean and composed — and while we were delighted to see the selection of flat lace-up sandals and buckled loafers, it took us a second to believe that the notoriously heel-loving Victoria would include such pieces. Perhaps baby Harper has inspired the mom of four to adopt a more casual style? Overall, Victoria Beckham's Spring '13 looks a lot like the ideal working woman's wardrobe: crisp, clean pieces with an interchangeable appeal that are easily able to go from day to night.

Color, color, color was the name of the game for Diane von Furstenberg's Spring 2013 collection

    Trends: Peplum, tunic dresses, pastels, draping.
    Colors: Teal, turquoise, pink, orange, lime green, red, blue.
    Key Piece: We loved the ball-embellished tunic paired with sleek trousers.
    Accessories: Printed sunglasses, sky-high embellished wedges, ball-embellished sandals, chain-strap sandals, statement clutches, silver belts, and techy Google glasses (Sergey Brin was also sitting front row to debut the new technology).
    Who Should Wear It: Every woman, but if we had to choose, front-row attendee Sarah Jessica Parker would wear DVF's bright hues to perfection.

Color, color, color. That was the name of the game for Diane von Furstenberg's Spring '13 collection, which was presented today to a star-studded crowd — we spotted Sarah Jessica Parker, Oscar de la Renta, and Valentino sitting front row. And the designer's latest collection was just as exciting, as Creative Director Yvan Mispelaere brought forth smiling models decked out in colored brilliance. It was a retro, '70s-inspired collection filled with flattering shapes: you can always count on DVF to know what a woman wants — billowy blouses with exaggerated sleeves, silk peplum skirts, draped tops, jumpsuits, floaty silk maxi dresses, and of course, wrapped silhouettes. Also, get ready for the resurgence of dresses over pants: the majority of the looks on the runway highlighted long tunics over trousers, creating a long and lean shape. With finishes and embellishments ranging from sequins to silver balls, Mispelaere showed attention to every single detail. Gowns showed ethereal, floaty layers tempered with metal hardware, giving off a simultaneously Grecian, yet modern feel. We especially loved the bold red gown adorned with a silver-plated necklace.

Amy Poehler and Sons

 

Amy Poehler and Sons
Amy Poehler was attempting to shop with sons Abel and Archibald Saturday morning, just days before she and husband Will Arnett announced their split after nine years of marriage. It appears she had to bribe them with birthday balloons to get through the grocery store! Archibald was born in October and Abel's birthday was in August.

Celebrity Engagement Roundup 2012 - These famous couples are heading down the aisle.

Put a Ring On It
Brangelina got engaged after seven years and six kids together, Elisha Cuthbert found the right hockey star, and Justin Timberlake's grandma spilled the big news about his proposal to Jessica Biel. Check out the details on all of the celebrity engagements so far this year.

1. Elisha Cuthbert and Dion Phaneuf
Elisha Cuthbert and hockey star Dion Phaneuf are heading down the aisle! The actress announced the engagement on Twitter over Labor Day weekend, writing: "Happily, happily, happily, happily engaged! This has been the most amazing weekend ever." The couple has been dating since 2008.

2. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth
Miley Cyrus, 19, excitedly announced her engagement to Liam Hemsworth, 22, in June 2012. The star revealed her beau of three years had popped the question about a week prior with a 3.5-carrat Neil Lane ring. "I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam," she said at the time.

3. Sofia Vergara and Nick Loeb
Sofia Vergara got engaged on her 40th birthday weekend in Mexico. Boyfriend Nick Loeb got down on one knee in front of more than 100 friends and family members and she said "Yes!," even though it took her a couple of months to admit it.

4. Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake has his dear old grandma to thank for confirming the exciting news that he and Jessica Biel are set to be husband and wife. The singer reportedly popped the question over the holidays and we hear wedding plans are currently in full swing. When they're not picking out fine china and wedding favors, we imagine Biel spends her time ogling her giant engagement ring.

5. Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger
Surprise! The fact that Avril Lavigne was even dating Nickelback's Chad Kroeger was a surprise to most, so the news of their engagement was quite shocking. The rockers apparently had a working relationship before things turned romantic and now the rest is history. Kroeger proposed with a blingin' $350,000 ring.

6. Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez
Halle Berry swore she'd never walk down the aisle again, then she went and got engaged to Olivier Martinez. The Dark Tides co-stars remained quiet about the news from early January to mid-March, when Martinez told reporters of the news: "Yes, of course it's true." Hopefully the third marriage is the charm for the stunning actress.

7. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
This hot couple blew everyone away when they announced their engagement in mid-April, after seven years and six kids together. Brangelina claims the move is a "promise for the future" and have yet to set a date. For now, Angie seems to be content showing off her giant custom diamond ring, along with her right leg.

8. Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux
Jennifer Aniston is heading back down the aisle! The actress got engaged to actor Justin Theroux in August, on his 41st birthday. "Justin Theroux had an amazing birthday on Friday, receiving an extraordinary gift when his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, accepted his proposal of marriage," his rep told People. Now let's wait and see if Brad or Angie gets down the aisle first.

9. Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman
There's a wedding and a baby on the way for Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman. The two have been dating since early 2011 and will welcome their first child in the fall. This will be the third marriage for the actress, who famously married comedian Tom Green back in 1999.

10. Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves
Four years and two kids later, Matthew McConaughey finally proposed to Camila Alves on Christmas Day 2011. The pair have since moved to Texas and have yet to reveal any details about their upcoming nuptials. However, you can bet when the big day comes, the actor's abs will be ready.

11. Steven Tyler and Erin Brady
Steven Tyler put a big ol' ring on girlfriend Erin Brady's finger in late 2011, so, of course, everyone noticed when she flashed the bling while vacationing in Maui. The ring's designer confirmed the big news and the American Idol judge followed suit in early January. Tyler, 63, is 25 years her senior.

12. Snooki and Jionni LaValle
Snooki traded booze for babies this year! The former Jersey Shore star announced her retirement from partying in March, when she revealed she's engaged and expecting. She and Jionni LaValle have been airing their relationship drama on TV since 2010.

13. Mario Lopez and Courtney Mazza
Mario Lopez was famously married to Ali Landry for two weeks back in the 2004, so let's hope he and new fiancee Courtney Mazza last a lot longer. The pair got engaged over New Year's weekend while vacationing in Mexico. "I told Courtney that I wanted the mother of my children to have their last name. She was silent at first from shock, then she leaped for joy and did a little jete!" the TV personality revealed.

14. Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish
Kate Bosworth spilled the beans about her engagement to Michael Polish in a very sneaky way. She wrote this in her travel diary for Vogue.com in early August: "On our first day in Seoul, my fiancé...and I venture out to discover Changdeokgung Palace." Was the "fiancé" mention an intentional reveal or a slip? She hasn't said just yet.

15. John Legend and Chrissy Teigen
John Legend chose one of the most exotic places in the universe to propose to his model girlfriend Chrissy Teigen. The pair were vacationing in the Maldives over the holidays when the soul singer got down on one knee. Teigen coyly announced the news on her Twitter page, announcing "he went to Jared."

16. Jake Owen and Lacey Buchanan
Country star Jake Owen was so overcome with emotion while performing in his hometown in April that he spontaneously proposed to his longtime girlfriend onstage. He didn't even have a ring with him! Still, she said "yes," and got her bling shortly after. The couple met on the set of his "Eight Second Ride" video.

17. Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearney
Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel got down on one knee in August at South Africa's Kruger National Park. His girlfriend of three years, Molly McNearney, accept his proposal, which is a good thing since she's co-head writer of his show and all. If she'd declined, it would have made for one awkward workplace.

18. LeBron James and Savannah Brinson
LeBron James has been dating Savannah Brinson since high school and finally asked her to be his wife on New Year's Eve. The NBA star popped the question in front of friends and family members, and the couple's adorable sons.

19. Audra McDonald and Will Swenson
Broadway stars Audra McDonald and Will Swenson kicked off their 2012 with their engagement. Swenson got down on one knee on New Year's Day. It will be the second marriage for both.

20. Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Thomas
Alec Baldwin asked 28-year-old yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas to be his wife in April, one day before his 54th birthday. The pair made their debut last summer and have since popped up at various red carpet events. A decade after divorcing Kim Bassinger, the actor is ready to give marriage a second shot.

21. Jesse Metcalfe and Cara Santana
Former Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe used to date Bachelor winner Courtney Robertson, but he's set to marry an aspiring actress named Cara Santana. The two have reportedly been dating for about four years and got engaged in January.

22. Jared Followill and Martha Patterson
Jared Followill wasted no time proposing to his model girlfriend Martha Patterson. The two had only been dating for a few months when he asked the million-dollar question at his Nashville home in April. Perhaps he just wanted to somewhat keep up with his brother/bandmate Caleb, who recently got married and became a father.

23. Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa
Curvaceous model Amber Rose loves her some rappers. She rose to fame while dating P. Diddy, and now is engaged to "Black and Yellow" singer Wiz Khalifa. She accepted his proposal, then immediately posted a picture of her very big diamond on Twitter. "He has made me the Happiest Woman in the World" she told her followers.

24. Tamra Barney and Eddie Judge
Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Barney divorced her second husband Simon in 2010, then started dating a dude named Eddie Judge about two months later. Judge claims the blonde "kissed [him] back to life," and he repaid her with a flashy ring.

25. Katrina Bowden and Benjamin Jorgensen
30 Rock star Katrina Bowden's boyfriend, musician Ben Jorgensen, put a ring on it the night before the SAG Awards in late January. She got to show off her new sparkler at the event, which probably made up for the fact that her show lost out on two of its nominations.

26. Aaron Paul and Lauren Parsekian
Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul orchestrated a romantic New Year's Eve proposal in Paris for his girlfriend Lauren Parsekian. They shared the good news on Twitter upon arriving back in the U.S. The pair have been dating for about a year, but they've been "lovey dovey" from the start, according to an unnamed insider.

Lets have a look at Michelle Obama Style at the 2012 London Olympics

Michelle Obama at the Olympics
First Lady Michelle Obama brought some serious gold-medal-worthy style to the London 2012 Olympics. From her always-elegant dresses to patriotic displays of red, white, and blue, check out the FLOTUS's winning looks from the Games.

Michelle Obama in J. Mendel
The First Lady looked like royalty at a Buckingham Palace reception for the Heads of State and Government. She wore a J. Mendel Resort 2013 cap-sleeve jacket with intricate silver embroidery (which reportedly cost $6,800) over a pleated white skirt.
Now here's a powerful combination of fashion if we ever saw one. Michelle Obama in J.Mendel and Kate Middleton, Dutchess of Cambridge, in Christopher Kane. Both were simply stunning at the reception, but which of the two deserved the gold?
Well, it's official—Michelle's emsemble is fit for a queen or for, uh, meeting the Queen of England, at least.

Michelle Obama in BCBG Max Azria
Not only did the First Lady put her American pride on display while cheering on the US Swimming Team, she also sported her timeless fashion sense in a chic colorblock top by BCBG Max Azria paired with sleek black pants.
Okay, how adorable is the peek-a-boo cutout on Michelle's right shoulder? We love that the 48-year-old First Lady isn't afraid show her youthful spirit.
Bold hoop earrings and a silver cuff polished off Michelle's charming look.

Michelle Obama in Cozy-Chic Gray
Michelle Obama opted for a head-to-toe neutral ensemble with a sporty, slicked-back ponytail to support the US Men's Basketball Team in its match against France.
It's a good thing the First Lady kept it casual for the men's basketball game. Following Team USA's victory, player after player (ugh, imagine the sweat) crowded in for a big embrace—even Kobe Bryant showed Mrs. O some love!
Simple yet sophisticated jewelry added understated glamour to the FLOTUS's gray-on-gray sweater-and-tee combination.

Michelle Obama in Patriotic Colors
Michelle Obama paired a retro-print flag-inspired blazer with a bright red peplum top and fitted black pants to greet Team USA before the Olympic opening ceremony.
The First Lady shed her patriotic blazer to show off her fit-and-flare peplum hiding beneath the layer. Between the square-neck top and her sunny smile, she sure was, well, peppy while greeting the US Women's Basketball Team.
The First Lady strikes a pose with the US Women's Basketball Team in her ruffled peplum top.

Michelle Obama in Athleticwear
Joined by an incredibly dapper David Beckham—um, jealous!—at the Let's Move London event before the opening ceremony, Michelle embodied the Olympic spirit in a sporty shirt, cropped white pants, and metallic sneakers.
Whoa, with kicks like that—we mean her actual kick, but those silver sneaks are pretty snazzy, too—we think the First Lady should have tried out for the US Soccer Team. Right?

Michelle Obama in Neon Yellow
Once the leading lady finally took her seat at the opening ceremony, she threw on this electric yellow blazer, ensuring all eyes stayed on her as the action unfolded in the stadium.

Do You Know 10 of the Most Memorable Songs of the Olympic Games

2012: "Spinnin' for 2012" Dionne Bromfield and Tinchy Stryder
Muse's hyper-anthemic "Survival" may be the most talked-about Official Olympic song this year, but it's not the best. Sure, the music video is crammed full of Mini Cooper product placement, but singer Dionne Bromfield deserves some props for sounding like she's actually having fun on this Torch relay song.

2008: Liu Huan and Sarah Brightman's "You and Me"
At the opening ceremonies at 2008's Beijing Olympic Games, musical theater queen Sarah Brightman and all her magical hair extensions joined Chinese Mandopop atop a glowing globe for a song about global unity. Fun fact: There is an entire section of Liu Huan's Wikipedia page dedicated to his hair.

2004: "Oceania" by Björk
Let's be real: There were probably a lot of people who didn't know quite what to make of Björk's epic "Oceania," which she performed at the 2004 Summer Olympics Ceremony just after the Parade of Nations. But the all-vocals tune — its rhythm provided by beat-boxer Schlomo — is definitely the most original Olympics anthem ever. The lyrics don't even include the words "reach," "win," or "togetherness."

2000: "The Flame" Tina Arena
Tina Arena is pretty much the Australian Celine Dion, only with fewer chest-thumps. The former child star rang in the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia with her song "The Flame," which was about the Olympic flame and greatness and stuff.

1996: "Reach" by Gloria Estefan and Diane Warren
Gloria Estefan co-wrote her 1996 hit with adult contemporary staple Diane Warren, who has mastered the art of producing Music Moms Love. It even features the spirit-lifting backing vocals of a full choir and one of those life-affirming key changes that can be found in any Warren song worth its weight.

1992: Freddie Mercury and Monserat Caballé's "Barcelona"
When opera star Montserrat Caballé approached Freddie Mercury about producing a song for the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, he jumped on the idea and took it a step further, suggesting they collaborate on an entire album for the occasion. The resulting Barcelona had one of Mercury's greatest solo hits in its title track, but sadly, he was never able to perform any of the songs at the games — he passed away from AIDS in 1991.

1988: Whitney Houston's "One Moment in Time"
Songwriter Albert Hammond envisioned Elvis Presley singing "One Moment in Time" when he co-wrote it with John Bettis for the 1988 Olympics, but it's hard to imagine anyone but Whitney Houston pulling off triumphant, soaring vocals. The song was wildly successful, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 nine weeks after its release.

1988: Koreana's "Hand in Hand"
This Giorgio Moroder-produced track is pretty much exactly what one expects from an official Olympics theme song: Cheesy, with plenty of motivational platitudes. But it's worth watching the video, if only for the amazing late '80s haircuts and sunglasses.

1984: Herbie Hancock's "Junku"
There were a number of special themes created for the 1984 Olympic Games in Sarajevo, but the most fun (and, admittedly, most dated) among them was the Field Theme, a.k.a. Herbie Hancock's "Junku," which featured traditional African instruments like the kalimba over a steady synth beat. Okay, yes: It sounds just like "Rockit," but... earthier.

1980: Tônis Mägi's "Olimpiada"
The United States boycotted the 1980 Summer Olympics over the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, which means a whole bunch of people missed out on the magic of Tônis Mägi's spirited theme song "Olimpiada." Though the kitschy song was released at the tail end of the disco era, it was still one of the Estonian singer's most popular works. Hopefully the backup dancers were able to make it to the opening ceremonies.

To craft a glorious Olympic anthem is no easy feat: A successful song requires mass appeal on a global scale, and a melody that's appreciated everywhere from Moscow to Minnesota.

This year, UK rockers Muse were met with a fair amount of snark over their effort "Survival," a sweeping, epic production that sounds a little too like self-parody to achieve the desired dramatic effect. With lyrics like "I'll light the fuse / and I'll never lose," the song skips straight into competitive cliché — but so has practically every official Olympic song, with a few notable exceptions.

Few of these songs are actually great (some are borderline awful, really), but they did manage to capture the spirit of their respective times. How does "Survival" stack up in light of these gems?

Attention: Famous Hacker Victims (Party One)

Famous Hacker Victims
Whether it's photos, sensitive data or just contact information, some of our favorite celebrities have had their phones and online accounts broken into by hackers.

1. Carly Rae Jepsen
Carly Rae Jepsen was not pleased when a grainy cell phone sex video made the Internet rounds with her name on it in July 2012. Though the "Call Me Maybe" singer tweeted, "Crazy morning. Discovered that someone put up a sex tape claiming to be me. Ridiculous. Obviously not me," TMZ reported that the singer had actually been hacked — but that the dicey photos in question hadn't yet seen the light of day.

2. Christina Hendricks
Christina Hendricks copped to the sexy lingerie photos that made their way online after her phone was hacked, but she challenged the legitimacy of the topless photo that surfaced on the web, saying it was a fake. It helps that the head was cropped out of the one nude pic. It's called plausible deniability, people.

3. Nicole Scherzinger
Nicole Scherzinger for Ron Paul in 2012? That's what her twitter account would have you believe after it was hacked by Paul supporters. The hackers published a tweet saying, "For the first time ever a politician isn't lying to us. WAKE UP AMERICA! Ron Paul 2012 I Love this Guy #RonPaulRevolution." However, once Nicole was alerted to the social media break-in, the pro-Paul message was quickly removed.

4. No Doubt
Fans have anxiously been awaiting the reunion album from No Doubt by closely monitoring the band's Twitter account, but they were in for a bit of a shock when a "Ron Paul for President" message was posted under No Doubt's name. Gwen Stefani and company got hacked by the same Paul supporters who broke into Nicole Scherzinger's account to post similar pro-Paul tweets. No Doubt later clarified that they weren't endorsing any candidate at this point.

5. Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens was the victim of one of the most infamous celebrity hacks. In 2007 a hacker was able to acquire a series of nude photos of the star. On three occasions the hacker has released different photos from the same original batch, prolonging Hudgens' original embarassment. The FBI suspects that whoever broke into her private accounts is part of a hacker ring that has targeted several celebrities.

6. Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson was likely targeted by the same group that hacked into Vanessa Hudgens' private accounts. Shortly after nude pictures of the actress leaked online, she told CNN: "Just because you're an actor or make films or whatever doesn't mean you're not entitled to your own personal privacy ... if that is sieged in some way, it feels unjust. It feels wrong."

7. Kreayshawn
Up-and-coming rapper Kreayshawn was targeted by a group of hackers who call themselves HollywoodLeaks and operate a Twitter account where they brazenly brag about breaking into celebrities' accounts. What's worse, Kreayshawn has claimed that the leaked pictures of her were taken when she was 17.

8. Paris Hilton
Back in 2005, before the advent of the iPhone, Paris Hilton's beloved Sidekick was hacked and all her contacts were made public. A 17-year-old hacker eventually pleaded guilty to the crime and was sentenced to 11 months in a juvenile detention facility.

9. Mila Kunis
When one of Mila Kunis' old e-mail accounts was hacked, it sparked a new round of rumors that she was seeing her Friends with Benefits co-star Justin Timberlake. That's because the leaked pictures included two pictures of Timberlake, including one where he's jokingly wearing a pair of pink panties over his head. The two have since denied any involvement.
