British songster Leona Lewis hasn't let fame change her - and she staunchly sticks by the people who have been with her from the start. In a new interview, Lewis, 24, addresses the fact that she is still with her boyfriend of seven years, Lou Al-Chamaa. Lewis says some people think you should ditch the people you knew before when you find fame, and she doesn't agree with that. "For people to think that you should leave someone because, all of a sudden, you're a singer and you have opportunities. I feel sorry for them." Lewis has also kept her residence in the "gritty" Hackney area of London.

There's been another Trump wedding, only this time, it's not Donald Trump playing the groom. Ivanka Trump, daughter of Donald Trump and his ex-wife Ivana, married publisher and executive Jared Kushner in a lavish Jewish ceremony at Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey last weekend. Though both bride and groom are under 30, they're already a power couple. Ivanka hosts Celebrity Apprentice, has her own fine jewelry line and is vice president of Donald Trump's real estate division. Kushner, 28, is publisher of the New York Observer and an executive at his family's company. Hopefully, Ivanka will have more luck with marriage than her father has thus far.

More than four months after the death of their father, *Michael Jackson*'s kids are still trying to adjust. LaToya Jackson recently opened up about how the kids are doing, and how each of them are trying to cope in their own way. Blanket, age 7, is "just a very sad, shy little boy. He cries." Meanwhile, his older sister Paris, 11, "thinks and writes about her father all the time." But it's the eldest boy, Prince, 12, who has LaToya most concerned. "Prince just doesn't want to speak about it. I do worry about him very much". According to LaToya, all three children are currently in therapy to help them cope.

Fall under the spell of two TV witches, Selena Gomez and Alyson Hannigan. Both bewitching beauties combine a an aura of innocence with worldly knowledge of hip fashion.

Selena Gomez
Perky Selena Gomez plays Alex Russo on The Wizards of Waverly Place. Witches, good and bad have had a long history in the world of Disney. This particular teen witch dresses to please her real audience. She wears layers of colorful t-shirts, with or without a hoodie.

A pair of high-top sneakers and jeans are all the tricks she uses to conjure up a workable style. For a true Selena Gomez, style, add an accessory to your hands or arms. Arm warmers or a bandanna or scarf wrapped around one wrist are signature fashion styles of Selena Gomez, an actress with a ginormous energy. She can also be seen wearing one eye-catching piece of jewelry at a time, including an eye-catching ring or a colorful watch.

Alyson Hannigan
Before she was a fashion-obsessed shoe fanatic on How I Met Your Mother, Alyson Hannigan was a teenage witch. In her early years on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alyson Hannigan's style drew upon both every bright color under the sun, similar to the happy rainbow fashion palette of Selena Gomez. She actually wore a rainbow sweater in "I Only Have Eyes For You."

As her character's power grew stronger, her clothes drew darker, much to the chagrin of fashion-loving Alyson Hannigan fans. She wore the cliched witch black, leaving little room for creative dress.

With How I Met Your Mother, Alyson Hannigan once again explored the brighter side of fashion. As a kindergarten teacher, Lily overdresses for the part, and overspends as well. She can't resist bright designer tops and dresses or a pair of stylish shoes.

From teen witch to a witch all-grown up, the style of these gals is spellbinding.

One of the secrets of expanding a small wardrobe is to make sure that each piece you buy can be worn with something you already have. Let's look at Zappos.com for three easy pieces, and then think about how you can wear each one with something already in your closet.

Everyone needs a good pair of trousers, and these "Jackie" wide leg pants from Liz Claiborne do the trick. They're denim with a classic cut and style. The flat waistband sits at the natural waist, and the hems of those wide legs are cuffed. These are classic pants you can dress up or down, and wear with almost anything.

The second piece of this outfit is this stylish scoop-line top from MICHAEL at Michael Kors. It has a flowing design to make it comfortable, and that scoop neckline is dressed up with little round studs. Its vivid red coloring is the perfect complement to the dark pants.

Finally, layer the top with another Liz Claiborne piece; this stretch denim peacoat is all about style, with a double breasted three-button front, pointed collar, and welt pockets. The cuffs have a button accent, and the jacket has a back vent for ease of movement.

Put the pieces together, and you've got a great outfit. But look at them separately and see what else they can do. The pants can dress down with a colorful tee, or dress up a bit with a long-sleeved shirt (think Tommy Bahama or BCBGirls) left out or tucked in. You can top the shirt with a cardigan when cooler temperatures arrive.

The peacoat, in navy denim, is a neutral that can top almost anything in your closet. If you have a sheath dress (look at the ones from Hype for ideas), top it with the jacket before you put it away for fall, and keep wearing the summer dress through the next season. Finally, the Michael Kors top would be perfect over white pants or capris for a bright summer look.

Now you've got three easy pieces and four stylish looks. Does life get any better?

Cameron Diaz best look is also her most natural look. She can do casual and dress down and still look incredible. Cameron Diaz's true glamour can be seen the best when she tosses her hair up into a messy ponytail, brushes on some bronzer and pale lip gloss. A pair of low-riding colored jeans with a white or blush pink t-shirt is all she needs. For fun, add pretty pink toes, a pedicure and flip-flops, designer bag and sunglasses.

When Cameron Diaz does dress for the red carpet, she can sometimes look like a little girl that raided her mommy's wardrobe. Her body can meld with any outfit, whether it's a designer gown or a pair of jeans. Sometimes when she's on the red carpet she looks like she has too much make up on. She may not, in reality, or in comparison to other stars, but all that cake detracts from her natural beauty.

She looks best when she looks like she just got back from the beach or a run. Her natural style is casual and down-to-earth, in contrast to the more quirky style of Milla Jovovich.

Milla Jovovich
As a model and actress, Milla Jovovich is a blank palette. She wears cut-out clothes well, as she did in The Fifth Element. Straps and strips of clothing suit her model physique. Layered fabric with altered hem lines, a pair of boots and some bold hair and make up bring her to video game character mode. There is nothing she could wear in a movie or out in public that would not seem believable.

Milla Jovovich dresses without being self-conscious of her body, whether she's wearing a cropped leather jacket that bares her midriff, or a if she's wearing a bathing suit for a magazine cover. On fashion covers, she can sometimes be seen pulling off a softer, more Cameron Diaz look, but when it comes to Milla and fashion, anything goes.

Co-stars Kate Hudson and Nicole Kidman may share vamp fashion secrets in the musical remake of Fellini's 8 1/2, but their personal styles set up more of a dichotomy. Both actresses star in the fashionista movie of the year, Nine, a movie that will send you running for your chic black dresses.

The Fellini Appeal
In Nine the stars wear their smoky and smudged eyeliner and shadow glamorously, and complete their sexy looks with glittery black designer dresses, wide fishnet stockings, big 1960s style hair, and over-the-knee boots.

Bohemian Kate Hudson
While Kate Hudson looks stunning in a yellow Dior gown or a metallic brown Stella McCartney dress. Kate Hudson manages to add glamour to simple Bohemian looks. She is one of the few actresses who could have successfully worn an orange, yellow and black print Valentino gown.

Kate elevates simple Bohemian to Boho chic by accessorizing a pair of torn boyfriend jeans with textured suede. She adds hats, bold jewelry, a pair of comfy boots and designer handbags to her laid-back Bohemian style. A stack of silver bangles, colorful sunglasses and styled hair complete her chic Bohemian style.

Glamazon Nicole Kidman
Statuesque Nicole Kidman dresses for the red carpet even when there isn't one. She is not an actress you'll find unkempt or even going Bohemian casual. Nicole Kidman is a vision of seriousness, in contrast to the playful fashion of Kate Hudson.

The walking mermaid's dresses look painted onto her lean figure. Despite her natural height, Nicole Kidman always as the perfect pair of heels to pair with her designer gowns.

In the movie Nine their roles are slightly reversed, with Nicole Kidman playing the actress/muse and Kate Hudson takes on the more serious role of fashion journalist, Nicole Kidman remains the glamour queen and Kate Hudson's wardrobe exhibits her signature playfulness.

Some surf-loving celebrities have had more to worry about lately than voracious fans - like becoming fish food! A popular surfing hotspot, Sunset Beach, has suffered a rash of scary sightings lately, with a 10-foot long great white shark cruising through the waves and leaping out of the water. Sunset Beach is one of several beaches located in that area of the coast. These area beaches are frequented by several celebs, including Matthew McConaughey, Orlando Bloom, Cameron Diaz, Anthony Kiedis, Helen Hunt and more. Hopefully, the shark will move on soon and the celeb surfing can resume.

Well-known British royal Prince Harry is back once again with his on-again, off-again flame, Chelsy Davy. Prince Harry, 25, and Davy, 23, met up for dinner and some clubbing at London hotspot Beach Blanket Babylon. Both Princes Harry and William have had some trouble in their love lives lately, with William on and off again with longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton. Harry, who recently passed his British air force piloting exams, is rumored to have been seeing Davy again quietly for several weeks.

Is Penelope Cruz pregnant? That's what celebrity gossip columnists and fellow celebs are trying to figure out. Cruz, 35, notched the gossip up to fever pitch Sunday night when she appeared for the premiere of her new movie, Broken Embraces. The Spanish actress wore a layered black gown, along with an enormous sapphire and diamond ring. Cruz refused to comment on her personal life, as usual, leaving columnists and photogs to continue the speculation.

One of the challenges of building a wardrobe is keeping up with fashion trends. As you collect clothing items it is not uncommon to eventually find yourself standing in front of a closet that is full of clothes that are out of date but that still have a lot of wear left in them. If you want to get more wear out of these quality items then you need to learn how to update older pieces with accessories and styling.

Accessorizing Within Jewelry
One of the easiest ways to update the look of an older dress, shirt or suit is to use jewelry. Necklaces in particular can be very helpful at modifying the look of a clothing item to make it more modern and chic. For example, the style of the necklace, its length, its colors and the size of the beads on the necklace will influence how modern or stylish your new outfit will look. To modernize the look of your wardrobe just select a necklace that is fashionable for today's standards and that also compliments the colors of your older wardrobe pieces.

Accessorizing With Belts
Belts are a great fashion styling item. They can be used to change the shape of an older piece of clothing to make it more fashion forward. Belts are also relatively inexpensive so you can afford to invest in multiple pieces. The height of the belt, its color, its buckle design and its general pattern will be useful in updating the look of an old suit, an old shirtdress or an older pair of slacks. You can also use belts to add a punch of color to an otherwise neutral outfit. If you are losing weight, belts can be used to modify your clothes' fit until you are ready to buy a smaller size.

Other Accessories
Hats, scarves, gloves and leggings are other accessories that you can use to modernize your out-dated wardrobe. All of these items are relatively inexpensive so it is okay to buy trendier looks. You will need them to be trendy as they will be what update the look of your outfits. As you buy accessories, however, think about what you are going to be comfortable wearing. If you are not a rhinestones and leopard print type of person don't buy accessories with these design features. Remember your wardrobe is supposed to reflect who you are.

According to several sources, singer Amy Winehouse is making her comeback but she will have to start buying larger shirts. Apparently the singer has gotten herself a boob job costing $55,000 in which she went from a 32B to a 32D. Amy checked into a clinic in London last week where she remained for a week. She then emerged on the scene Saturday night for her appearance on Strictly Come Dancing and she was definitely sporting a much larger chest. A patient from the clinic that Amy went to said, "She looks amazing, like a new woman. Amy told us she wanted a new look - it's all part of her fresh start for her big comeback. When Amy was asked by another patient why she was there, she responded, "'I've had a boob job. I 'ad 'em done for Strictly. I wanted to look my best and I'm sick of stuffing hankies down my bra." According to Amy's reps though she was only at the London clinic for a "routine procedure."

After saying some not so nice things about the director of Transformers, Megan Fox may just be getting what she deserves in the third installment of the movie franchise. Sources are claiming that Michael Bay is considering killing off Fox's character within the first 15 minutes of Transformers 3. He would then look for a new leading lady for the film to basically take over. An inside source says, "Michael's pretty much discovered Megan and now he's very quietly looking for her replacement. He hasn't decided if he's going to kill her off in the next movie, but he just wants to be prepared." If you don't remember, Megan compared the director to Hitler in comments she made about working with him.

After being dropped as a spokesperson for weight watchers for gaining back the weight she lost, actress Kirstie Alley said that she was coming out with her own weight loss program. Even most of her tweets on her Twitter page have been about her weight loss, diet and exercise. You would think that Kirstie Alley would be looking slimmer these days then, but not according to several reports. There are several sources who are actually saying that she is at her highest weight of 260 pounds right now. Maybe she should just be honest with herself and she could actually start losing the weight? Good luck Kirstie!

Fall has arrived and so have fall trends. However, some spring/summer looks are rolling over into the new season with an added winter twist. The simplistic look of a classic white t-shirt worn over a pair of distressed denim remains a strong look. But fall is all about outerwear and this year, designers are giving us plenty of variety to style with.

To take your effortless t-shirt and jeans look from day to night, simply add one of this season's most sought after jackets. Sequence jackets are already all the rave, this look has recently been inspired by signature stage costumes worn by the late King of Pop. Jackets with embellishments on the shoulders are also a strong look for the season. These eye-catching jackets provide the right amount of glamour to make any simple outfit shine. Finish this look with a sexy pair of ankle booties and clutch and you'll look red carpet ready in an effortless way.
Boyfriend blazers continue to be in the spotlight. Heavier emphasis on the detailing, like the lining on the cuff sleeves, will be the newest design to revamp this jacket. This jacket is still worn best draped over a pair of shorts; of course, try this look with a pair of over the knee boots to coordinate this style with its current season. The crop motorcycle jacket is another returning contender. Look for this jacket to draw additional attention to the exposure of zippers, another revolving trend of seasons past.

Military jackets may be the most influential jacket of all for fall. Designers like Vivian Westwood are creating strong silhouettes with a huge focus on exquisite detailing. Free people adds a feminine touch to its military jacket by adding ruffles along its closure while Moschino's military jacket features all the bells and whistles including an asymmetrical button closure, tri-tone stripes at the collar, pockets and sleeve ends, not to mention extended shoulder accents, proving once again, that shoulders play a significant role in fashion this season.

Could there be two men on more completely different ends of the closet than Tim Gunn and Woody Harrelson? Whenever Tim Gunn pops into the work room on Project Runway he looks red-carpet and camera ready. Dapper and dashing, Tim Gunn is the epitome of classic men's style. On the other side of the male wardrobe spectrum is Woody Harrelson, who mans it up in Zombieland. Interestingly, Harrelson a hand in selecting his wardrobe for the new zombie film.

Dapper Tim Gunn
The genius of Tim Gunn's wardrobe is that while he always looks dashing and well-dressed, in a Cary Grant sort of way, he also looks comfortable. He melds well with his clothing choices, and one could easily imagine Tim Gunn in a pair of comfortable denim-colored loafers while enjoying the weekend.

Ties are normally a staple in the Tim Gunn wardrobe, as are dress shirts. While at the latest runway show, Tim Gunn may be seen wearing a black leather coat, styled like a suit coat, to complement an all-black outfit.

Woody Harrelson as Tallahassee
Woody Harrelson as Tallahassee in Zombieland is ready for action. One of the unstated rules (as opposed to his verbalized rules) must be: dress for comfort, dress for action. The Tallahassee outfit starts with a pair of low-waisted jeans, with some obvious tatters, but not too many.

Add a t-shirt, but not just any t-shirt. The t-shirt, like the man, needs a bit of character. A t-shirt that looks stone-washed, and has a v-neck instead of a crew neck is more interesting than a plain shirt. Toss in some Crocodile Dundee inspired accessories, including a couple of wooden bead necklaces, worn boots and an uncommon hat. To add to the effect, Tallahassee wears fabrics resembling animal skin, another visual reference to Dundee.

Mix and match the deft and the dapper, and do what Tim and Woody do: make it work.

Two TV stars with Retro appeal graced the 2009 Primetime Emmys: January Jones and Kristin Chenoweth. Ironically, it was Kristin Chenoweth, co-star of the now-cancelled Pushing Daisies that went home with an Emmy, rather than Mad Men's January Jones.

Both women are winners, though, as anyone can see by the keen fashion sense of their characters. January Jones as Betty Draper and Kristin Chenoweth as Olive Snook. Chenoweth even praised the show of her Retro counterpart when she exclaimed, "I'm not employed now so I'd like to be on Mad Men."

Retro Femininity at its Best
In a time when women have seen and bared almost all for fashion, the Retro femininity of both Betty Draper and Olive Snook are a welcome change of pace. In the world of form-fitting dresses with high collars and no sleeves and below-the-knee hemlines and high heels, the occasional flared skirt on a waist-emphasizing dress, these women know how to work a dress.

January Jones as Betty Draper
The look of Betty Draper is complete and without surprise, yet completely fresh and interesting. Her outfits take cues from one perfect dress. Adding gold metallic heels to a silk dress ensemble with matching earrings is one way to pull off the Betty Draper look. Add a pair of gloves, regardless of the temperature, a matching coat and handbag and you're ready to hit the town.

Additional accessories could include a neatly tucked neck scarf, a headband to keep hair perfect, and a necklace. While Betty Draper is the look of perfection, there is a longing in her eyes, and a distant coldness.

Kristin Chenoweth as Olive Snook
Olive Snook provides the breath of fresh spring air as a counterpart to Betty Draper. The petite Kristin Chenoweth can pull off the feminine dresses and adds a bit of quirky to her style. No Olive Snook outfit would be complete without a pair of black pumps that you can wear on any occasion.

The guy who was arrested for the break-ins of Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge's homes may just have a personal connection to Lindsay Lohan. Nick Prugo, who is only 18, has been charged with burglary of both Lohan's and Patridge's home, but the story doesn't end there. Apparently some of her co-workers from her movie Labor Pains, which was filmed last year, have said that Lindsay and Nick were spotted together on the set several times. Prugo was charged with cocaine possession last year and was placed in a drug rehab program. He was also charged with a DUI last month. Could Lindsay and Nick really have been friends? Is this a friendship or drug relationship gone wrong? I'm sure the more time goes on, more of the truth will come out.

Could newlywed Alyssa Milano soon be expanding her family? Alyssa and David Bugliari, an agent, were married on August 15th in David's home state of New Jersey. The actress told Usmagazine.com that married life so far is "blissful" and "doesn't really feel any different yet." She also went on to reveal that although they have no real plans for children quite yet, she did say, "I think we are just going to go with the flow. So we'll see what happens. But I am getting older. Gotta get on it!" So, we may just be seeing the actress sporting maternity clothes sooner than you think.

Could there be a new celebrity couple on the horizon? Jason Segal from How I Met Your Mother was seen locking lips with Big Love actress Chloe Sevigny at the HBO Emmy party. They were apparently in a corner making out and only stopped when they noticed that people were looking at them. The couple left the party together but it is not known if they kept their own party going with the same ride home or parted ways after leaving the building. Could it have been the thrill of the Emmys, the alcohol that was flowing or are they really going to be a new Hollywood couple?

After several months of rumors of a separation between singer Avril Lavigne and musician Deryck Whibley it appears that the rumors were in fact true. Avril took to her blog to let everyone know that she and her husband Deryck are separating. After writing some things about how she "admires" him and still loves him with all her heart, she writes, "Deryck and I are separating and moving forward on a positive note." Unfortunately, it also appears that Avril is making up the "positive note" part. According to an inside source, "she dumped him and told him she was leaving him." The sourced added, "divorce papers will be filed any day now," and that Whibley is "crushed." Avril had been seen just a few weeks ago enjoying time on the beach with other guys and her husband was nowhere in sight. The couple married young as she was only 21 when they got married and was 19 when they started dating. It appears this is another Hollywood (or wannabe Hollywood) marriage gone horribly wrong.

Kate Gosselin from Jon and Kate Plus 8, may be losing a husband but may be gaining an awesome job as a talk show host. According to Radar online, the reality star is said to be teaming up with Food Network star Paula Deen for a talk show that is completely focused on moms. The proposed show has a mixture of beauty, health, and parenting tips mixed in with some celebrity gossip. Apparently they are now looking for other women for the show to talk to and they want all the women to be moms. A few months back Kate had told Entertainment Weekly, "There are no mom-centered talk shows. I think that would be a very comfortable thing for me." A rep for Telepictures would not deny nor confirm that the show was currently in the works. Kate has said that she would do anything to provide for her 8 kids, well apparently that means being a talk show host. Really, how hard could that really be and does this mean she will be moving from their million dollar home as well?

Tom Brady has finally confirmed what the entire world has known for the past month or two. His wife, model Gisele Bundchen is pregnant and the baby is expected to arrive sometime in December. In an interview that the NFL star did for ESPN's SportsCenter, he joked that he "told her no Sundays," when it came time to give birth to the baby. He also jokingly said, "It couldn't be harder than training camp, so I'll be prepared." The latest pictures of Bundchen definitely showed a growing baby bump so it was no surprise that the couple would have to confirm the baby news sooner or later. This will be the first child for Gisele and the second for Tom Brady. Tom has a 2-year-old son with his ex, actress Bridget Moynahan.

Another daddy-to-be that has confirmed another child on the way is actor Colin Farrell. The actor confirmed that he and his girlfriend Alicja Bachleda are expecting their first child together. The couple started dating earlier this year. This will be the second child for Farrell as he has a 5-year-old son with model Kim Bordenave.

Apparently *Megan Fox*'s coworkers are not that happy with her and what comes out of her mouth. Recently Fox compared the Transformers director Michael Bay to Adolph Hitler and three anonymous film crew workers from Transformers had something to say about it. On the movie's website, the crew members wrote an open letter to the fans calling Megan Fox "thankless, classless, and graceless." These crew members have worked with Bay for the past ten years and wanted to "set a few things straight." They went on to call Fox, "dumb-as-a-rock," and "ungracious." The later part of the letter mocked the comparison between Fox and Angelina Jolie stating that they have worked with Angelina before and Megan is nowhere near being Jolie. The letter ended with "Hopefully Michael will have Megatron squish her character in the first ten minutes of Transformers 3." The writing has since been removed from the website but Bay took to his own website and said that he "doesn't condone the crew letter to Megan." He added that he still looks forward to working with Megan Fox on the next Transformers and expects even more outlandish quotes from her. So, is this simply fame gone to her head or is she that oblivious that you don't go talking about people that way?

Two actresses featured in films at the 66th Venice International Film Festival provide the inspiration for a classy and casual celebrity fashion mashup: Eva Mendes and Chloe Sevigny.

While it's possible that Eva Mendes and Chloe Sevigny met up at the 66th Venice International Film Festival, what would happen if their luggage had been swapped?

Classy Lady: Eva Mendes
Eva Mendes is one of those breathtaking Hollywood beauties that does not get enough camera time. She exudes classic Hollywood glamour and is a true fashion icon for any well-heeled woman. Recently she strolled down the red carpet with Nicolas Cage at the Venice Film Festival. Her eye make up was toned down and she wore her hair straight, parted in the middle and highlighted.

Most at home in a formal dress or matching pant suit, Eva Medes was born to wear white. She is also often seen wearing solid colors and monochromatic outfits. The star who describes herself as environmentally-conscious could wear this stretchy white skirt with a champagne tank top, giving her a more casual look.

Art Film Chic: Chloe Sevigny
Another not-often seen but always admired actress is Chloe Sevigny. Her fashion style fits her movie roles: more artsy and creative, as she thinks outside the hat box. Chloe Sevigny should continue to include quirky elements in her outfits, while adding classic pieces and designer wear. Her current style has moved from art house to coffee house, and it seems more relaxed and casual. She can wear a fitted jean jacket with a short designer dress.

Similar to Eva Mendes, Chloe Sevigny is one of those actresses blessed with long legs and she wears shorter dresses and skirts to show them off. Eva Mendes emphasizes her legs by wearing longer, sometimes below-the-knee skirts which hug her curves.

A Week in Venice
Even if their luggage had been swapped, Chloe Sevigny and Eva Mendes will be turning heads long after the film festival fanfare fizzles.
