Just when we thought Justin Bieber was about to become a real boy, Madame Tussauds unveiled two wax figures modeled on the pop star’s likeness. So now he’ll remain forever that cherubic little teenager who so captured out hearts. Check out some photos from the two unveilings and try not to get super creeped out.

Couple Recreates Romance Novel Covers

Posted: 16 Mar 2011 11:00 AM PDT

I know that when you remake a song it’s called a cover, but what about when you remake a book cover?

Alex Holder, Art Director at the advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy, commissioned her creative partner Oli Kellett to stage these recreations of Mills & Boon romance book jackets, starring Holder and her boyfriend Ross.

What I love about these self-portraits is the attention to detail (in both background and how they mimic the cover models), but also the playfulness with which they reenact these uber-romantic scenes. Holder snarkily sums up her motivation in the shots: Sometimes we sit for hours staring at a sea shell. Other times he’ll hold me by the neck in front of the pyramids. But there’s nothing we like more than nearly kissing each other near some horses. I always try to look hot in front of him so he doesn’t leave me.

Unfortunately, there are only three at present. Now that the beach, the woods, and the pyramids have gotten their action, let’s see Ross and Holder in more implausible locales!

Style Crush: Alexa Chung Part Deux

Posted: 16 Mar 2011 10:34 AM PDT


We featured Alexa Chung in our first-ever Style Crush last October, and after seeing how much she’s been killing it in the sartorial department lately, we’ve decided to bring her back. It’s basically Alexa’s job to hang out and look fashionable and she certainly is good at it. If anyone wants to go steal her wardrobe for us we suppose we wouldn’t mind.

  • Prepster.
  • Like an awesome flight attendant.
  • Ah, she's so cool. And that bag!
  • What manner of thing is this?
  • We're stealing this look exactly.
  • Making your grandma's curtains chic.
  • We bet she won all the awards.
  • Look hos she's wearing that bag!
  • Same dress, different coat,
  • Should come with a platter of champagne.
  • Meta.

'Glee' Recap: Hell To The No

Posted: 16 Mar 2011 09:15 AM PDT

Regionals are here! Just in time for the Glee kids to hastily write original songs for the competition! The song plunges in with an immediate Warblers rendition of "Misery," then segues swiftly into Rachel emotes through “Only Child,” the single kid’s lament. “Damn you, dads!” she howls. Unfortunately for the only Berry on her family tree, Quinn sees her flirting with Finn and vows to never let Rachel stand in the way of her ultimate goal: prom queen. Oh, by the way, when exactly did Quinn get possessed by a demon? “How damaged does a guy have to be to be into someone as annoying as Rachel,” she snarls inside her mean girl brain, before describing herself as “relatively sane for a girl” and fondling what appears to be centuries of prom crowns. Prom queens live an average of five years longer, Quinn notes, probably because most of us lose a few years to vomiting over the statements like that. In an effort to sabotage any romantic inclinations Rachel still has by keeping a close eye on her (sure, why not), Quinn offers to write an original song with her. In turn, all the gleeks decide to write their own tune, and the premise if off and running!

Coach Sylvester, aka the current coach of Aural Intensity, declares World War Sue against the Schue and the gang. She solicits a cease and desist letter preventing New Directions from using “Sing” by My Chemical Romance. (Turns out, Sue slept with the drummer. The luckiest drummer in the world, I call him!) Meanwhile, Kurt suffers the death of his canary Pavarotti, and after he spend all that cash on a Burberry canary cage cover and matching water dish! To commemorate his little feathered friend, Kurt sings the Beatles’ “Blackbird” in creamy airy soprano I missed like the deserts missed the Fluffernutter. The song was a little on the nose but was apparently enough to make Blaine realize how much he is into his best buddy. Finally, Blaine loves Kurt! None of this "bisexual for twelve hours" misdirection! Kurt’s little puppy face lights up when Blaine spills the beans, and they a few sweet & spicy kisses as Kurt bedazzles his avian coffin (how long has it been since that bird died? They don't keep for long, Kirt!). Good thing Blaine told Burt to explain sex to Kurt last week 'CAUSE HE'S GONNA NEED IT (sorry!) Please, please, I beg the writers, let us enjoy their burgeoning relationship for more than two episodes before dashing Kurt's dreams. Have you seen that boy when his heart's broken? Have you ever seen a bunny weep? Spare us, pleazzzzzzze.

Gallery: Actors Who Really Got Into Their Roles

Posted: 16 Mar 2011 09:16 AM PDT

Big Love star Chloe Sevigny is preparing to play axe murderer Lizzie Borden for an HBO miniseries — which is a great choice, considering her capacity for portraying deadly, emotionless women. Although screenwriter Bryce Kass is only halfway through the script, Sevigny is committed to the project: She’s even staying at the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast in Fall River, MA, the town where spinster Borden hacked up her father and stepmother in 1892. (Sing the song with me: Lizzie Borden took an axe / Gave her mother 40 whacks / When she saw what she had done / She gave her father 41…)

Not all actors would go that deeply into a role, but there are many who share Sevigny’s work ethic. Some specifically follow Lee Strasberg’s Method acting, the process of becoming totally immersed in a persona while shooting. Others are willing to alter their bodies for a role. While not all of these stars identify as Method actors, the physical and psychological preparations they made speak volumes.

  • Renee Zellweger
  • Christian Bale
  • Anne Hathaway
  • Heath Ledger
  • Adrien Brody
  • Chloe Sevigny
  • Edward Norton
  • Kate Winslet
  • James Franco
  • Meryl Streep

Andy Cohen Says Bravo is Done Casting New Cities for 'Real Housewives'

Posted: 16 Mar 2011 09:31 AM PDT

Bravo’s Executive Vice President of Original Programming & Development (and adorable Watch What Happens Live host) Andy Cohen, recently told OK! magazine that Real Housewives of Miami will likely be the last new city added to the series. He said, “I really feel like we’re done.” When OK! asked if Miami would be the last new city, Andy said, “Yeah.”

Well, thank God. Bravo was on a good roll there with new cities in the beginning, adding New York, Atlanta, and New Jersey with great success. Then someone at Bravo suggested Real Housewives of D.C., which totally sucked. Bravo then stepped it up a notch, redeeming itself with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which was, in a word, awesome. It totally made sense. Beautiful, rich, connected people with tons of in-fighting and marriage problems? Sign me up.

But, then we were given Real Housewives of Miami. I had a sense that I wouldn’t like it since the first time I heard about it. I was right. It’s the one Real Housewives series that I have absolutely no desire to watch. I even watched the whole season of Real Housewives of D.C. to see if it would get better (it didn’t). Real Housewives of Miami is honestly really boring to me; I don’t find any of the cast-members charming, relateable, or interesting, with the exception of Elsa Patton.

I know everyone likes and hates different cities for different reasons. I am happy that Bravo will stop adding new cities, at least for a while. I still care about all of these cities and want to “watch what happens” next.

Vote in our poll below to tell us which Real Housewives city is your favorite. And let us know: are you glad Bravo is going to stop adding new cities to Real Housewives?
