Jada Pinkett Smith: “I don’t eat for pleasure, I only eat for nourishment”

Posted: 07 Jun 2012 08:24 AM PDT

I've been looking at photos of Jada Pinkett Smith over the past few years, and I still don't really understand what's different. Like, my eyes know that something is different but I can't put my finger on it. Did she get cheek implants? Did she get that weird "ribbon lift" surgery that Madonna allegedly had several years ago? Or is this just weight loss, aging and some unfortunate hair styles? See? I still don't know. I do think weight loss is a factor, though – Jada's face used to be fuller and her body was more athletic as opposed to how it looks now – very slender. Jada has just given an interview to Essence where she talks about her eating habits… and now I feel sorry for her because she claims she's never learned how to get enjoyment from food.

There’s a reason Jada Pinkett Smith has maintained her flawless bod for more than 20 years: “I don’t eat for pleasure,” she tells Essence.

Pinkett Smith, 40, explains that she “had the only West Indian grandmother that could not cook. She was an awful cook, and she taught me that you don’t eat for taste, you eat for nourishment. And I have kept that over the years, so I can eat anything that’s healthy.”

Though she occasionally treats herself to French fries and pizza, the star of Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted says: “I eat for my schedule so I have to eat high-protein, lots of greens and healthy carbs so that I don’t fall flat on my face.”

Her diet secrets aside, the actress and mother-of-three also reveals that she’s planning to star in a movie with Will Smith, 43, her husband since 1997.

“Will is going to [shoot a film] with the boys probably, and he and I are gonna do one,” she tells Essence. “He can’t wait. He was like, ‘You and me, next.’ I was like. . . ‘Let’s do it!”

Pinkett Smith’s latest film, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, is in theaters June 8. It features the voice talents of Ben Stiller, 46, Chris Rock, 47, David Schwimmer, 45, Sacha Baron Cohen, 40, Cedric the Entertainer, 48, Jessica Chastain, 35, and Martin Short, 62.

Your food issues as a child do influence your food issues as an adult. I grew up in a very food-centric household, and I still feel the influences of that when I'm comfort-eating and stress-starving. The more stressed-out and anxious I am, the less I eat. The sadder I am, the more I eat. For Jada, I guess she never learned to enjoy food in any capacity? Is that what she's saying? She never had a junk food binge? She never sat down and just enjoyed the hell out of a five-course meal just for the sheer joy of great food? Or is all of this just her way of justifying her very thin figure?

Britney Spears doesn’t understand why she’s still under a conservatorship

Posted: 07 Jun 2012 07:47 AM PDT

Over the past few weeks, many of us have been worried that Britney Spears might be in the midst of some kind of relapse due to the increasing stress of her X-Factor gig. Britney has repeatedly walked off the set, giving no clue as to why she needs a break or when she's coming back – which, as it turns out, is part of her contract. Britney's team managed to get the sweetest contract possible, and apparently Simon Cowell can't really say or do anything about Britney's constant walk-offs. In addition to that, people around Britney are talking about how "loopy" and "out of it" she seems.

So… I don't know what to make of this story in Radar this morning. Allegedly, Britney is concerned about her conservatorship – the one where her father and her fiancé Jason Trawick have complete control over her personal and professional life. Britney wants out of the conservatorship, and she doesn't know why it still exists.

Britney Spears is eager to regain control of her life and has been asking her court-appointed lawyer when her conservatorship will finally end, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. There will be a routine hearing on Thursday morning to seal the Toxic singer’s medical records, and Spears is eager to put this chapter of her life behind her and move on.

“Britney very much wants the conservatorship to end, she doesn’t understand why it has gone on this long,” a family source tells RadarOnline.com. “Britney is now a judge on a national hit television show, which will be live when it airs this fall. Britney feels she is ready to regain control of her life now.

“Britney’s dad, Jamie, has conservatorship of her personally and professionally, and this has been going on now for almost four-and-half years. When she signed on to become a judge for The X Factor, Simon Cowell suggested that Jason Trawick become one of her conservators because Jamie didn’t want be on set with Britney. Jason is basically in charge of Britney’s life now, and Jamie hasn’t lived with her in a years. Britney’s doctors just don’t feel she is ready for the conservatorship to end though, as she has a very complicated mental health diagnosis. However, Brit is hopeful that once she proves herself on X Factor this will be the impetus for the conservatorship to end.”

Among the housekeeping items that will be heard during the legal proceedings on Thursday will be allowance of fees requested by Jamie Spears and Brit’s court appointed attorney, Samuel Ingham, along with a motion to seal Brit’s medical records. Interestingly, there is a review hearing scheduled for July 21, and sources say that how Britney is dealing with her new gig could be central to the proceedings.

“Brit could absolutely be in court at that time,” the source says. “The judge wants to make sure that Britney is handling the stress of her new job appropriately. Remember, Britney could absolutely petition the court to attempt to end the conservatorship, any of the interested parties could also do so. The only person that can formally end the conservatorship though is the judge and she has to be convinced by the most important people in Britney’s life, her medical doctors, that it’s the best thing to do. Britney is grateful to her dad for giving up his personal life to save her but she wants to stand on her own two feet now.”

[From Radar]

As I've said before, keeping Britney in this legal and professional limbo is a massive disaster waiting to happen. Jason Trawick and Jamie Spears want to protect Britney, and I can understand that. They want to monitor her and have safeguards in place in case she does have some kind of breakdown again. But if that's the case (and I believe it is), then why let her get engaged? Then why have her contractually obligated to do a high-stress job? Jason and Jamie want it both ways – they want to control Britney completely AND pretend that she's a completely capable woman in her personal life and professional life. Britney has every right to wonder why her conservatorship is still around, and I hope she has questions about her fiancé now having legal control over her. I have to wonder, though – did this just occur to Britney, or was she just told about it recently? Jason was named the co-conservator months ago!

Leonardo DiCaprio in the ‘Django Unchained’ teaser trailer: too campy or just right?

Posted: 07 Jun 2012 07:28 AM PDT

Christoph Waltz Jamie Foxx

Confession time, y’all: Quentin Tarantino is my favorite director in the entire universe, and I was very ashamed for doubting his judgment after the commercial failure of Grindhouse when he really pulled off Inglourious Basterds on a (near) masterful level. For quite awhile, I was really nervous about how Basterds would turn out, but once I saw that movie’s teaser trailer, all fears were immediately dispelled. So I was pretty pumped for the eventual arrival of a trailer for Django Unchained, but now I find myself somewhat deflated.

The new teaser trailer for Django Unchained debuted last night even though the movie doesn’t come out until Christmas Day. First off, it seems way too early for a teaser trailer because — just last month — QT was still attempting to resolve some casting issues left by the void of Sacha Baron Cohen. Granted, Cohen was slated for a role that’s something of a cameo in the vein of Mike Myers’ part in Inglourious Basterds, but it still seems like a big rush to the trailer altar to get something (anything?) ready to play in front of the big summer movies. Promotion is everything these days where movies are concerned, but I just don’t know here. Indeed, this trailer seems like a rushed product, which would make sense because, according to Paste Magazine, this trailer is essentially “an edited version of the ten minutes of footage Tarantino premiered at Cannes” just a couple of weeks ago. Dare I say that the tragic loss of QT’s long-time editor, the amazing Sally Menke, has already had a signficant effect on QT’s output? Check out the trailer, and we’ll discuss below:

For those unfamiliar with the plot of Django Unchained, Jamie Foxx plays the titular Django, who is a freed slave that discovers his wife (Kerry Washington) has been captured by slave owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). Django is aided by Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz, actually playing a sort-of-good guy for once), a German bounty hounter. The trailer’s declaration of “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of vengeance” certainly will satisfy many fans of QT’s style while allowing him to also make a mark upon the Western genre with a Southern twist. Honestly, I’m not sure whether I like this trailer or not, but I’m hoping that Tarantino will prove me wrong again. Part of the problem is that I’m not much of a DiCaprio fan and have always found his acting to be overrated. Here he’s mugging it up so much for the camera that it’s hard to take the entire trailer seriously, and I think QT has been a bit too obvious with his choice of music as well. Hopefully, the film’s further promotion will be more promising than this mess. Don’t break my heart, QT!

Leonardo DiCaprio

Oh and … Christoph drinking a very important beverage at a very important table during an obviously important scene in the movie? Oh Tarantino, you so crazy.

Alex Skarsgard spotted out with Ellen Page: adorable new couple or just friends?

Posted: 07 Jun 2012 07:22 AM PDT


Is it wrong that when I first saw these photos of Alex Skarsgard and Ellen Page together I squeed a little? I just love how happy and relaxed they both look. The super cute couple was spotted coming out of the Stanley Cup Finals in LA. Photo agency Pacific Coast News asks “Could they be the latest co star couple?” I see Alex as dating primarily blondes, he was with Kate Bosworth for a long time and we also know he dated Evan Rachel Wood and maybe Charlize Theron. We just heard he might also have a recent thing going on with Victoria’s Secret model Anne Vyalitsyna. I doubt he’s been that busy, but it’s possible.

All those women are blondes and Ellen is a brunette! She’s a tiny thing, though, and he seems to prefer that type. I have heard rumors that Ellen plays for the other team, which I’m inclined to believe. Maybe she just dresses like Kristin Stewart and doesn’t GAF. We’ve heard those rumors about Kristen too.

The thing that makes these photos suspicious is that True Blood season five premieres this Sunday! I can’t wait! So these photos are coming out at a convenient time to get some publicity for Alex. Let’s see what’s up with Ellen’s career… oh she’s in an upcoming movie with Alex, The East, which is in post production right now. So they met on set and are probably just friends. Oh well.

Update: Lainey has photos of the two watching the game, and they’re so cute together! I love the photos so much. They basically mirror each other’s body language the whole time.


Here are some covers from the upcoming issue of EW, which has separate True Blood characters featured for a total of 11 covers. In some of these photos they really captured the campiness of this show. I love how it looks like they’re subtly poking fun. Ryan Kwanten’s photo makes him look a little dumb, just like his character, and Alex looks like a 70s vampire.

I guess Tara isn’t dead yet.

I’m actually excited for Christopher Meloni!

Jim Carrey to Jenny McCarthy: “Evan’s privacy is not being considered”

Posted: 07 Jun 2012 05:50 AM PDT

Jenny McCarthy
Yesterday we covered the story that Jenny McCarthy had called out Jim Carrey for not visiting her 10 year-old son, Evan, after their breakup two years ago. Jenny and Jim dated from 2005 to 2010, and Jim and Evan were close, according to Jenny. She expressed disappointment on Howard Stern’s show that Jim hadn’t reached out to Evan since they split, despite the fact that Evan isn’t Jim’s biological son. Jenny also admitted that she hadn’t personally contacted Jim, but claimed she had gone through “channels” to try and ask him to see Evan. The overwhelming consensus was that this was a dick move by Jenny, and she never should have gone public with this information. It was potentially damaging to her son, whom she claims has autism. (Which she supposedly healed through diet and alternative therapies. That’s a whole ‘nother discussion.) Jenny admitted that Evan asks about Jim just about every week, and that he’s in therapy to try and deal with his separation from him. It seemed like a violation of her son’s privacy, and Jim Carrey agrees. In a brief public statement about this, Jim put the smackdown on Jenny for potentially hurting her son. I really like what he had to say about this.

Jim Carrey is defending himself after ex-girlfriend Jenny McCarthy accused him of abandoning her autistic son, Evan, and forcing the 10-year-old to go to therapy.

"I will always do what I believe is in the best interest of Evan's well being," Carrey said in a statement released by his publicist to ABCNews.com today. "It's unfortunate that Evan's privacy is not being considered. I love Evan very much and will miss him always."

McCarthy, who dated Carrey for more than five years, opened up about her struggles with Evan on Howard Stern's radio show Monday. "I've tried to ask [Carrey] numerous times [to see Evan], because my son still asks," McCarthy said, adding that Evan tells her he misses Carrey "almost weekly."

McCarthy said that while she doesn't communicate with the comedian directly, she's gone through "channels" to convince him to reconnect with her son.

"As a mother, you just hope when you have a relationship with someone, it has nothing to do with the child when you break up," she said. "I tell [Evan] that someday you'll cross paths, meet again … [but] it's hard. He's been in therapy. It's a process, he's working on it."

[From ABCNews.go.com]

That was sweet what he said about loving Evan. We don’t know what happened between Jim and Jenny, but rumor has it that Jim was having mental health issues and Jenny called it quits because of that. She told Oprah that their relationship was no longer “fun,” and explained that “The first thing is, when it's not fun anymore, you need to start investigating and do an inquiry into the relationship.” So it sounds like she pulled the plug, but it’s hard to tell. So their split was complicated, and Jim probably didn’t want to confuse Evan by continuing to come around after Jenny rejected him. Plus, if he were still visiting Evan once every couple of weeks or once every month or so, wouldn’t Jenny complain about that? Wouldn’t it be potentially more damaging to the boy? It’s hard to tell. Again, this isn’t his biological son and he and Jenny weren’t married.

Radar online has another take on this, one that many of you share. They quote a “source” who claims she’s doing it for attention of course. “She's got a new show to promote, seems a little too convienant that she's talking about this now. They've been broken up for over two years and sometimes it is hard to stay close to children after a breakup.”

Jenny told Oprah in 2010 that her identity “wasn't caught up [in] being a celebrity's girlfriend” and called herself a “warrior mom.” Well she’s certainly able to bring up her ex celebrity boyfriend, and forget the best interests of her son, where publicity is concerned.

Jessica Simpson makes her first postpartum gym trip, 5 weeks after giving birth

Posted: 07 Jun 2012 04:25 AM PDT

WENN tagged these photos "Jessica Simpson is photographed in her car as she leaves her personal trainer’s house." Fame/Flynet tagged them: "New mom Jessica Simpson looks to drop her baby weight after working out at a gym in West Hollywood, CA." So, which is it? Is The Jessica Simpson Weight Conundrum so massive (so to speak) that Jessica can only work out in the privacy of her trainer's home, or is Farty McDonalds going to an actual gym? I have no idea.

Whatever the deal is, I feel sorry for her. LOOK AT HER RACK. Her boobs are so big, I can feel her back pain from here. Little Maxwell Drew is, for sure, one well-fed baby. Speaking from experience, when your boobs are that big, you have to approach workouts in a completely different way. There is no way that I would ever workout with my t-ts hanging out like Jessica is doing here – I would just be so uncomfortable. But… I would imagine that doubling up on sports bras probably hurts your nursing boobs, right? Also: I eschew running, just because no one needs to see my DDs flopping around. I would imagine Jessica is the same – no running. Plus, she's still recovering from her C-section! Shouldn't she give her body a chance to rest for, say, six full weeks before exercising? Eight weeks? Of course, Jessica was already having sex just a few weeks after her C-section, so God knows. Maybe she's just a miraculous healer.

Another reason to feel sorry for her: her multimillion dollar Weight Watchers deal is like a bounty on her head. I really think that Jessica regrets signing on to Weight Watchers, and I'm guessing that she's already looking for a way out. But Weight Watchers is going to hold her to it – and God knows what will happen if they don't see results quickly. Do you think Weight Watchers would actually sue Jessica for breach of contract if she doesn't lose weight? Poor Jessica.

Liam Hemsworth actually put some time & thought into Miley’s engagement ring

Posted: 07 Jun 2012 04:20 AM PDT

So many of you had thoughts on Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's engagement! That surprised me. My prediction was that people would be mildly interested, but ultimately you wouldn't care that much. But so many of you had strong reactions to Miley getting engaged at the age of 19 (not to mention Liam is only 22). I complain a lot about age differences in couples, and I often think certain celebrities are "too young" to be doing whatever they're doing. But you have to admit – Miley is a very "old" 19. She's been living with Liam all this time – and even though you can mutter the word "Jonas" to me, I say that Liam is Miley's first proper boyfriend too. This is simply how some girls roll in general – didn't you know girls in college you met their "future husband" the first week of freshman orientation? And Miley has been working since she was a little girl – and she's been out on her own for several years now. I'm just saying – Miley getting engaged at 19 isn't the worst thing. Maybe it won't last, maybe it will. I think they'll probably last longer than people expect.

Anyway, we have more information about the engagement, and most importantly, the RING. Liam approached Neil Lane to create the ring from scratch. Lane told People Magazine that Liam "wanted something unusual…Something really beautiful and romantic." This is what Liam got:

It's a 3.5 carat, cushion-cut diamond set in 18-karat gold. The actual ring setting diamond is antique, dating back to 1880-1890. Lane and Hemsworth worked together for a few months, and Lane just finished the ring last week. As soon as Liam got it, he proposed to Miley – on May 31. You can read more about the ring here.

Did you know that Liam asked Miley's parents, The Mullet and Tish Finley-Cyrus, for permission to marry Miley? True story. Can you imagine going to see The Mullet to tell him that you're going to marry his daughter? A source tells Radar that Billy Ray and Tish "knew it was coming… Liam lived with Miley and her parents when they began dating in 2009. Billy Ray and Tish love him like a son. However, Billy Ray is concerned about how young they are and he hopes that they aren’t in a rush to get married. Billy Ray hopes the engagement will be very long, but he isn’t opposed to the marriage at all. Billy Ray got divorced from his first wife Cindy though and he just doesn’t want Miley to go through a similar heartbreak.”

After People Mag announced the engagement, Miley tweeted this: “Thank you for all the love today :) I’m happy to share this news with you all. I feel like all my dreams are coming true. Have a great day."

These are a few new photos of Liam Hemsworth in New Orleans, where he's filming Empire State. I didn't know he was a smoker! Hm.

Lindsay Lohan’s ‘Liz & Dick’ coworkers think she looks exactly like Liz Taylor: really?

Posted: 07 Jun 2012 04:15 AM PDT

This is yet another "official" promotional image from The Most Important Television Movie of Our Time, The Crack Chronicles: The Making of 'Liz & Dick'. Seriously, I would rather watch the "making of" Liz & Dick than actually have to sit down and watch Lindsay crack-rasp her lines in between her horrid crack-pouting. But to hear the Lifetime people talk, this is the most magnificent production EVER. The rules for the Academy Awards are going to be re-written so The Cracken's performance as Elizabeth Taylor can be nominated.

When Lindsay Lohan first walked onto the set of Lifetime's Liz & Dick dressed as screen legend Elizabeth Taylor, "there was an audible gasp," the movie's costume designer, Salvador Pérez, tells PEOPLE. "You'd swear it was Elizabeth."

Dressed in Taylor's favorite styles — jewel-toned cocktail dresses, fur coats and those famous gems (well, good fakes) — the actress looked remarkably like her screen idol. "She just walked into the clothes and became Elizabeth Taylor," says Pérez.

Producer Larry Thompson had some of Taylor's most famous bling, including the 33-carat Krupp diamond, recreated for the film. "Part of the magic is the wardrobe," he says. "And Lindsay said she wants to bring magic to the movie." Many of the vintage dresses fit her like a glove, too; Lohan's waist measures a tiny 23 inches, while Taylor's was a mere 22 inches.

Lohan will wear 66 different looks in the 80-minute biopic, which begins in 1961, ends with Richard Burton's death in 1984 and focuses on their tumultuous relationship (an affair while she was still married, two weddings and two divorces). To prep, Lohan hired a voice coach and even dyed her auburn hair a deep brunette to better match Taylor's dark tresses.

Lohan's hair and makeup will span all of Taylor's looks, from the long lashes and red lips of the 1950s (attained using M.A.C's "Hot Tahiti" lipstick) and the Cleopatra-inspired eyeliner and nude mouth of the '60s to her teased '80s bouffant, always with her trademark eyeliner to accentuate her famous violet eyes. (Lohan is wearing opalescent lavender contacts for the role.)

"She brings in makeup for me," makeup artist Eryn Krueger Mekash, who's using mostly Chanel, Dior and M.A.C products, tells PEOPLE. Adds the movie's hair stylist, Beatrice De Alba, "She looks so much like her. There was a moment when she saw her picture on the monitor and said 'I'm her.' It was thrilling."

[From People]

"There was a moment when she saw her picture on the monitor and said 'I'm her.'" I think the makeup artist is misquoting The Cracken. Lindsay saw herself on the monitor and said, "Ew, gross, that's such a horrible shot of Liz! She looks like such a sketchy hooker." Why is this whole thing like a children's story gone awry? One of my favorite stories when I was a kid was "The Emperor's New Clothes". That's what this is – why is everyone even bothering to pretend that Lindsay is NOT a wildly offensive choice to play Elizabeth Taylor. Look at these photos – The Crackhead simply does not resemble Taylor in the slightest.

Did you notice – my question about the jewelry reproduction was answered. Lifetime can't afford to even borrow any real gems, so everything is being recreated on a budget. And I bet Lindsay STILL crack-heists every single (faux) bauble.

Do you believe Lindsay's waist is 23 inches? I don't. I'm not judging her size either way, I simply don't believe her waist is 23 inches.

Ryan Gosling brought Eva Mendes to his mom’s college graduation in Canada

Posted: 07 Jun 2012 04:14 AM PDT

This is a fan photo (via Instagram) of Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes at the graduation ceremony of Brock University. I will get to that backstory in just a moment. First, I should point out that those photos we covered on Monday – the ones of Ryan and Eva at LAX together – were the beginning of their wild and crazy Canadian adventure. They've been in Canada all week. LaineyGossip had some of the details here – first they went to Montreal, then Toronto, and then to St. Catherines in Ontario, which is where Brock University is located. So why go to this seemingly random graduation? Ryan's mom graduated!!

Mega star Ryan Gosling proudly watched his mom graduate from Brock University Wednesday. The 31-year-old Canadian actor created quite a stir when he attended the St. Catharines campus with his Hollywood girlfriend Eva Mendes, 38.

Fans lined up outside the auditorium and Twitter blew up with news of sightings. For hours Wednesday afternoon Brock University was trending in the Top 10 on the popular social networking site in Canada.

When approached by The Standard, Gosling said he wasn’t doing interviews.

“This is my mom’s day,” he said.

Gosling, who has starred in more than 30 movies including The Notebook, Drive and The Ides of March, left the ceremony early so he wouldn’t disturb the proceedings. Mendes left shortly after. They met up in a room where the graduates went following the event.

“He requested privacy for himself and his family,” said university spokesman Kevin Cavanagh. “He told me this was his mom’s day and the graduates’ day. He didn’t want to be a diversion.”

Kerri Behling, 21, volunteered to help out at the graduation ceremony after hearing rumours that Gosling was going to be there. She, along with at least a dozen other people, stood on a landing outside the gym, shooting photos of the back of Gosling’s head.

“I’ve never seen a famous person before,” the 21-year-old Brock student said.

Seeing Gosling for her first star sighting made the experience that much better, she said.

“I think he’s the same person as he was in The Notebook,” she laughed. “I’m out here waiting for a proposal.”

Brock students Amy Wilson, 22, Erin Wyhoda, 22, and Nicole Studenny, 23, went to the school’s convocation after hearing that Gosling’s mother was graduating.

“He walked right by us,” Wilson said, noting they all stood there stunned, not even snapping a picture.

[From St. Catherine's Standard]

That would be me – I'd be one of those people too "stunned" to even move if I chanced upon one of my favorite male actors. I talk big about throwing myself at the likes of Michael Fassbender, but in reality, I would probably just stand very still, watching him like a hawk, not even daring to breathe. Anyway, it's nice that Ryan came to his mom's graduation. I have mixed feelings about Ryan making such a "thing" about it not being his day. Surely there could have been a happy-medium, like he could have given an interview to a local paper and still established that the day was all about the graduates? Because it's weird to think that Ryan really expected to NOT get fan-girl'd.

Zoe Kravitz shows off her new choppy haircut at a Chanel event: lovely & adorable?

Posted: 07 Jun 2012 04:13 AM PDT

I don't have any hard and fast rules for ladies chopping off all of their hair. For some women, short, choppy haircuts are a great, sophisticated look, and with a new haircut, you suddenly see the women in a completely new (and better) way. But on some women, short haircuts are a total disaster. Really short hair tends to make me nervous, regardless of whether or not I think the cut suits the lady. Why nervous? Because I have sympathy pains for how difficult and awkward it will be for a woman to grow it out. Even in the age of weaves, lace-fronts, extensions and wigs, most women do tend to just stick it out the old-fashioned way and just grow out their real hair. And it gets awkward. Like, remember how everyone was crazy about Emma Watson's little pixie cut? And then she grew it out just a tad and suddenly she looked like Justin Bieber? That's what makes me nervous.

Anyway, these are some new photos of Zoe Kravitz and her mom at last night's Chanel event, "The Little Black Jacket". Zoe was showing off her new haircut. Thoughts? Anything and everything is an improvement over her (honest to God) itty-bitty bangs trauma. I think she's been growing out her bangs over the past several months, and she decided to chop everything off and let it all grow out together. I have to admit… I think this suits her lovely face. It's cute and rock and roll, and it's also going to be a bitch to grow out.

Zoe's boyfriend Penn Badgley was also at the event. I don't get what he's doing with his facial hair lately.

More photos from the event – Crystal Renn finally dyeing her eyebrows back to a normal color, Linda Evangelista looking like a Botox-monster with Karl Lagerfeld, and Lily Collins still not realizing that she should be wearing dark, rich colors.
