Vampires have bitten the nation! With Twilight being dubbed as the next Harry Potter, until the second movie in the series, New Moon, comes out, people will have to settle for season two of True Blood, a vampire series on HBO. Anna Paquin stars, and according to various entertainment websites, she'll be showing lots more skin. Photos of a topless Paquin filming a scene have been leaked, and it's rumored even more of her will be bared during the season.

Speaking of baring skin, Bethenny Frankel of The Real Housewives of New York showed a little too much in a sheer black jumpsuit at the Apollo Theater 75th Anniversary Gala the week of June 13th. We guess now that the show has wrapped, she really wants to put herself out there.

And finally, Rihanna is getting ready to testify against her ex-boyfriend (and rumored current boyfriend, according to gossip sites), Chris Brown, in his assault trial. The singer will be in LA Monday, June 22 to testify at the preliminary hearing. It looks like Brown is already trying to clean up his public image, however. He's allegedly hired a crisis management company called Sitrick and Company to help reverse his public image. Everything he's done thus far, from his appearance at the NBA final game with a Rihanna-lookalike to his video on YouTube has been the carefully calculated work of the firm. But even though making more tame public appearances might make the trial fade into the background for some people, we're sure it's not working with Rihanna. The preliminary hearing should be interesting.

According to Maxim magazine, actress Olivia Wilde is the hottest woman of 2009. The House actress came in at number 1 on the magazine's annual Hot 100 list. The magazine goes through thousands of pictures of actresses, athletes, singers, and models and comes up with a yearly list of the top 100 hottest women. The other top five women on the list consisted of Megan Fox, Bar Refaeli, Malin Akerman, and Mila Kunis. Some other notable women who made the list are Britney Spears (#17), Angelina Jolie (#26), Vanessa Hudgens (#27), Penelope Cruz (#30), and Rihanna (#8).

For all you One Tree Hill fans, you may be missing your favorite couple next year. Actor Chad Michael Murray who plays Lucas and Hilarie Burton who plays Peyton will not be coming back next season. The rumors have it that Chad Michael Murray was asking for too much money and the show executives could not work out a contract with them. With Hilarie it was a storyline in the show that caused her contract not to be renewed for next season. I wonder how much longer One Tree Hill will be on the air, since two of the main characters are leaving and that spells doom many times for television shows.

Hayden Panettiere must really like the older men. Although she is only 19 years old, she seems to go for guys who are at least 10 years older than her. She was last linked to her Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia, 31, and has no moved on to 31-year-old Steve Jones. The couple were seen in London eating dinner together and then attended a house party later that night together. Jones is a popular British TV personality. He has dated several other actresses and Hollywood celebs such as Halle Berry and Pamela Anderson. I guess Hayden is just mature for her age or really has a thing for dating men in their 30's.

In the crazy world of celebrities, this week is all about love gone wrong and legal misadventures. According to People magazine, Jon and Kate of TV's Jon & Kate Plus Eight are fending off new rumors that their marriage is on the rocks, after Jon was spotted out with an alleged female "friend" late one evening. Although he claims it was strictly platonic, he released a statement apologizing profusely for his "poor judgment." Seems dealing with their eight kids has Jon a little confused.

Actor Sean Penn also filed for divorce this week from his wife of thirteen years, actress Robin Wright Penn. Although the couple has started and stopped divorce proceedings before, it looks like this time it will stick: Penn was seen with model Petra Nemcova during the separation. The couple are seeking joint custody of their two children, daughter Dylan, 18, and son Hopper, 15. And Mel Gibson, who is in the middle of a divorce, has wasted no time moving on to the woman of his (mid-life crisis) dreams. He showed up at the Wolverine premiere with his Russian lover, Oksana Grigorieva, 39. At the premiere, Gibson looked much older than his fifty-three years. I suppose the end of a 28-year marriage, having seven kids and going crazy will do that to you.

In legal news, singer and alleged woman-beater Chris Brown is trying to get the assault charges against him dismissed in the vicious beating of singer (and quasi ex-girlfriend) Rihanna. The reason for his attempt at a dismissal? Not that he didn't do it, or that there's not sufficient evidence - he's trying to get the charges dropped because of the leaked photo showing the bloody and battered face of Rihanna after the incident. Say what?

That's the low-down on the top celebrity gossip this week. From infidelity to Gibson's younger Russian lover, celebrity news just goes to show you that some things never change.

The warm weather is approaching and soon summer will be here. It seems that with summer comes bright colors. Celebrities have been seen wearing some brightly colored frocks lately, and not only clothes but accessories, like handbags and shoes.

Celebrities are welcoming the summer with quite a loud fashion trend. It appears that the days of neon and bright colors are back. But, don't start whipping out your 80's neon clothing just yet. These bright colors are being worn in updated and modern ways that look nothing like the neon days of the 80's. Singer Ashanti even told OK Magazine, that she rearranges her closet when spring and summer rolls around. She told the magazine that "I love all of this season's bright colors."

A lot of celebrities have been rocking this trend with the bright shoes. Fergie was seen wearing bright orange shoes with her white dress on the red carpet. The shoes definitely gave her outfit the pop of color it needed to add interest. Other celebrities that have been sporting the bright shoes are Nicky Hilton, Mariah Carey, and Eva Longoria Parker. If you want to keep your bright colors simple this season, then you may want to stick with bright shoes to add the pop of color. Try these neon pink shoes by Juicy Couture.

Other celebrities are going full force on the bright color fashion trend and are sporting clothing that definitely stands out. Kate Moss paired a bright pink long tunic with her black leggings. While Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen went the opposite route and paired a bright pink mini-skirt with a black top and leather jacket. Other celebrities that are standing out in their bright clothing are Paris Hilton, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Jessica Alba, Blake Lively, Fergie, Demi Moore, and Vanessa Hudgens.

If you don't want to draw that much attention to yourself but you want to stay in fashion, then try adding bright colored accessories to your outfit. As mentioned before, shoes can help liven up an otherwise boring outfit, but you can also wear jewelry with bright colors or carry a handbag that is brightly colored. The possibilities are endless with this fashion trend.

Rumors have been circulating around town that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have called it quits. Apparently two different sources have confirmed to USmagazine.com that the couple is most definitely still together. However, rumors started to fly even more about the couple when Timberlake attended Kate Hudson's 30th birthday bash alone. A source tells the magazine, "Things are very good with them. They do things separately sometimes." The couple just went on a getaway together earlier this month to Vail, CO. The pair has been dating since 2007 and just recently bought an apartment together in New York City. Have you ever noticed that most of the time rumors are true about celebrity couples? I have a feeling that this one may be true, as just because they took a vacation together, doesn't mean they aren't having trouble. Look at Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. They took a vacation together and the next week were separated.

Grey's Anatomy star, Ellen Pompeo has confirmed that she is expecting a baby with her husband Chris Ivery. A rep for the couple, says that the couple "is thrilled." The couple was married back in November 2007 and Ellen was heard talking about having babies last year. There is no word on what her due date is, but it is most likely the end of summer. So, for all you Grey's fans, would you want Meredith to become pregnant on the show? They can only take Meredith and McDreamy's relationship so far, so they may want to write her pregnancy into the show.

It appears that other celebrities are excited about Britney Spears tour, "Circus". There are several celebrities that were spotted at her show in L.A. last week. Nicole Richie, Lauren Conrad, Avril Lavigne and husband Derek Whibley, Jamie Pressly, Gabrielle Union, Rihanna, Denise Richards, Kathie Griffin, Jenny Garth, and Lindsay Lohan were all spotted at Britney's L.A. show. It appears that other celebrities are coming out in full force supporting her. Nicole Richie even tweeted on her Twitter account about how much she loved "Brit."

Apparently when actress Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green break up they don't do it for good. Green and Fox were spotted in Santa Monica looking for a beach apartment together. A source told reporters that, "Megan wanted great ocean views because she loves the beach and spotting dolphins. And they said they needed several bedrooms and lots of privacy." Although the couple was together, Megan was not wearing her engagement ring at the time. The couple was recently engaged and then called off their engagement last month. Are they still together? Are they still getting married? Who knows?

Chris Brown has pled not guilty to the two felony charges he faces for assault and making criminal threats. The whole case goes back to the night were he allegedly beat his girlfriend, singer Rihanna, after she found a text message from another girl on his phone. Chris Brown showed up at court in L.A. and pled not guilty, as Rihanna spends some more time in Barbados. He is due back in court on April 29. It has been speculated that Chris Brown and Rihanna are still dating even after this incident. Also, the two sides are even trying to work out a plea bargain to end this case as quickly as possible.

Actor Ethan Hawke may want to stay away from Toby Keith if he is smart. In an article that Hawke wrote for Rolling Stone about Kris Kristofferson, he claims that a country singer who "had a monster hit about bombing America's enemies back into the stone age," started a fight backstage at Willie Nelson's tribute concert with Kristofferson. Hawke never mentioned Toby by name, but only referred to his song, "Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue (The Angry American)." Keith called Hawke out asking why he didn't call him by name and went on to say explicit words about how Hawke didn't know what he was talking about and the incident is made up. Hawke's rep did not comment on the situation.

We have finally learned what exactly made Jennifer Aniston give John Mayer the boot for good this time. Twitter! Twitter is a social networking site that uses short 140 character posts to communicate with others. John Mayer is very prolific on Twitter. Apparently, Aniston did not like this one bit. She felt that Mayer did not have enough time for her, to even just text her, but he was able to find time to write plenty of tweets on Twitter. Mayer even ended up tweeting about his break up, "This heart didn't come with instructions."
Has singer Rihanna finally moved on from Chris Brown. According to Fox News, she was seen cuddling with reality star Frankie Delgado (The Hills) at the club Delux. It was even reported that Rihanna gave Frankie a lap dance. Rihanna must be having fun celebrating her 21st birthday as she was also seen with Delgado and Brody Jenner at Nobu the night before. Sources are claiming that Rihanna is still seeing Chris Brown though. Maybe once Brown goes to his arraignment and hopefully gets jail time, Rihanna can fully move on to a better man.

Candy Spelling, the husband of late Aaron Spelling and Tori's mother is putting the Spelling mansion up for sale. Whoever buys the home gets bragging rights for the most expensive home for sale right now. Spelling has the estate listed on the market for $150 million. It is the largest home in Los Angeles at 56,000 square feet on 5 acres worth of land. The reason why Candy is selling the home is that it is only her now in the huge home and it just takes too many people to upkeep the whole estate. Spelling told People that "This house is the equivalent of a mid-sized hotel. It's a lot of work." We'll have to see who has enough money to buy this home right now. Should be interesting to see how long it takes to sell and who buys it.

Singer Rihanna has apparently rekindled her romance with her beau Chris Brown. The two were spotted vacationing in Miami together, staying in Diddy's vacation home. They spent the weekend there and both have returned to Los Angeles. It has been reported that the couple got back together after an altercation they had that left Rihanna with scrapes and bruises. Rihanna was not spotted outside the Miami home, but Brown was seen water skiing close by. Chris Brown is scheduled to be arraigned this week for the altercation with Rihanna. This couple just needs to stay away from each other. Brown has said that he acted in self-defense and after seeing the pictures of Rihanna, these two will be better off just staying away. Why people get back together after these types of incidents leaves me puzzled.

First he was dating Lauren Conrad and then it was onto Amanda Bynes, now Doug Reinhardt is rumored to be dating Paris Hilton of all people. It seems like this minor league baseball player knows how to make his rounds in the young Hollywood scene. Doug and Paris were seen together at Teddy's in Los Angeles hanging out in the back corner and dancing together. According to a source, Doug introduced Paris as his girlfriend to his friends. This guy moves on pretty fast, and I have to say he definitely downgraded this time.

Britney Spears is going to be the newest face of Candies clothing and accessories. Past spokespeople for the brand include Hayden Panettiere and Kelly Clarkson. Britney said, "I'm so excited to be the face for Candies' Only at Kohl's." Her tour is starting this week and now she has another job with the Candies campaign. It may be too soon to say, but this looks like a good comeback for Britney Spears.

It appears that color is the fashion trend for celebrities and their award shows. Celebrities have been hitting the red carpet, wearing all kinds of different colors. They seem to be kicking off the spring season with fresh blooms of color.

The Golden Globe Awards was full of color as celebrities stepped out on the red carpet. In fact, red was a popular color with celebrities like Eva Longoria Parker, Kyra Sedgwick and Julia Ormond. Other colors that dominated at the Golden Globes were the arrays of the color blue. Jennifer Morrison, Mary Louise-Parker, January Jones, Anne Hathaway and Blake Lively all wore gowns that were shades of blue.

Color ran rampant at the Grammy Awards, which are known for being a little formal. For the Grammy's, it appeared that multi-colored and patterned frocks were in. Rihanna, LeAnn Rimes and Paris Hilton all wore dresses that were multi-colored. While other celebrities such as Katy Perry and LeToya Luckett chose shades of pink for the red carpet.

The colors galore continued into Oscar night. It seemed once again red was a very popular color for the event. Amy Adams, Guliana Rancic, Heidi Klum and Virginia Madsen all donned red gowns for the event. Another popular color at the Oscars was purple, which was worn by Lisa Rinna, Alicia Keys and Natalie Portman.

Wearing color is the easiest celebrity fashion trend to follow. You may be following it right now and may not even realize it. Simply add some color into your wardrobe with shades of blue, red, purple, green and pink. Try to stay away from wearing all neutral colors like white, black, cream, tan and brown. You can even go a little more daring and try a multi-colored top like this one from Just Cavalli. This celebrity fashion trend is full of endless possibilities.

Rihanna and Chris Brown were no shows at the Grammy awards. They were originally scheduled to perform at the Grammy's, but due to personal reasons they both backed out. Chris Brown is under investigation for an alleged domestic violence battery charge. According to the L.A. police department, Brown and an unidentified female were in their car when an argument broke out. Both the woman and Chris Brown got out of the car where the argument escalated even farther. When police arrived, Chris Brown was already gone from the scene, and the female had visible injuries. So, who was this unidentified female? Rihanna? The two were seen early that night together at *Clive Davis*' Pre-Grammy party, and she backed out of the Grammy's right before the show. I have a feeling somehow this will be leaked to the press, and we will know who it was sooner or later.

It seems that Prince Harry has blown Paris Hilton off. Paris Hilton had plans to meet Prince Harry for a date, but right before the date, Prince Harry called it off. Prince Harry, who is newly single after breaking up with his girlfriend, Chelsy Davy, asked one of his bodyguards to call Paris to break off the meeting. Hilton is in the UK to promote her new series Paris Hilton's British Best Friend. Paris was not happy at all with being blown off by Prince Harry. Good for Prince Harry. He needs to stay as far away as possible from Paris Hilton. I don't know how she even got the date with him in the first place.

US Weekly Magazine is reporting that Lauren Conrad from The Hills has moved out of her house that she shared with her best friend Lo. A source tells the magazine that, "a home's a big responsibility, and with her schedule it didn't make sense. A condo is more manageable for a 23 year old with a budding career." So, what they were in the home for a year? Maybe she couldn't afford it anymore now that Audrina moved out?

The Sports Illustrated swimsuit models came to Vegas to walk a red carpet straight into LAX nightclub to celebrate the issue. The SI models arrived February 11 on the SI One, a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 wrapped in an SI swimsuit issue image of cover model Bar Refaeli. She said that she found out her image would be on the airplane before she knew she would be the cover girl for Sports Illustrated.

"I saw the plane and thought, 'It can't be that I'm on the plane and the cover,'" Refaeli said. "I thought that they chose someone else to be on cover and me to be on the plane."

She said she found out when her agent called her into his office for an audition. When she arrived, they slowly opened the door to reveal a large image of her on the cover of the magazine.

There were camera crews inside the office, and still, Refaeli thought it was a joke and could not believe she had made the cover.

"It was a terrible surprise," she joked. "If I weren't young, I would have had a heart attack."

Refaeli is not only the cover model for the issue but also the first Israeli cover model.

"It makes it that much more exciting," she said.

The models weren't the only visitors to Vegas - Chris Brown escaped to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino after his recent arrest for allegedly assaulting Rihanna. Brown reportedly checked in on Wednesday, February 11, and left sometime Thursday, February 12, according to E Online. The 19-year-old R&B singer holed up in an eighth floor suite and then left to meet with his mother, Joyce Hawkins. Since then, Brown has been hard to pin down - as has Rihanna, and there are no reports of her whereabouts.

From scandal to scrutiny, Jessica Simpson, who has been in the tabloids of late for allegedly gaining weight, is still going strong with boyfriend Tony Romo. According to People.com, the pair planned something romantic for Valentine's Day in Rochester, NY. Simpson opened for Rascal Flatts there.

Animal prints are definitely in fashion with celebrities. Everything from animal print accessories, like totes and scarves, to full animal print dresses. Celebrities are going wild over these animal prints. Kate Bosworth was seen wearing an animal print t-shirt as she headed to the airport, while Nicole Richie sported an animal print scarf to a red carpet event. Lily Allen took the animal print to the extreme and wore a leopard print winter coat to add some drama to her outfit. Full-on animal print dresses have been seen all over the red carpet also. America Ferrera wore a black and white tiger print dress to an event, while Maggie Gyllenhaal wore an animal print dress to the Golden Globes. This is one easy fashion trend for everyone to follow. If you are unsure about the trend, which is actually a classic fashion trend, think like Jessica Alba and start out with a snakeskin tote. Or you can go even simpler and add a touch of animal print to your outfit with an animal print belt from Dolce and Gabbana.

It appears that the 80's are back. More and more celebrities are bringing back the 80's fashion looks in a slightly more modern way. Hayden Panettiere rocked the 80's look in her gold metallic mini-dress that she wore on the red carpet. While Jessica Biel rocked a full black taffeta dress that almost looked like it could have been wore to a prom in the 80's. Other celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, Kate Bosworth, Rihanna, Blake Lively, Kate Moss and Lily Allen are also bringing out the 80's fashion garb. When trying to follow this celebrity fashion trend, you have to be careful not to look like you actually belong in the 80's. Think updated 80's fashion such as sleek dresses with polka dots and fitted leather jackets. Leave the parachute pants and shoulder pads at home. You want to look in fashion and not like a total blast from the past.

Even this cold weather that we are having this winter celebrities are still rocking the miniskirts. Now, miniskirts always seem to be in style and then the next minute out of style. This has been the case for over 20 years now. Celebrities like Lilly Allen, Kate Hudson and Chloe Sevigny seem to be bringing the mini skirt back into fashion. Whether it's an actual miniskirt or a mini-dress, the short style is being seen more and more again on the Hollywood scene. If you want to sport this celebrity fashion trend but you live in a colder climate, try a mini-dress from Jean Paul Gaultier that has long sleeves but leaves little to the legs.

Other celebrities such as Mary Kate Olsen, Gwyneth Paltrow and Selma Blair are going for a much darker look this winter. They are wearing the all black ensembles with the touches of the Gothic accessories. Yes, we all know that Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen seem to have this trend down pat, but now it seems like they are setting the fashion trend with the black leggings, oversized coats and pointy black shoes. Mixing a sheer black, over-sized top with some black leggings and black heels will set you in perfect with celebrity fashion trend.

Another celebrity fashion trend that you can spot on the red carpets now is the cut-out dress. These dresses give little hints of the body here and there rather than showing off the whole package. Celebrities such as Rihanna, Jenny McCarthy, Christina Ricci and Ashley Olsen have all dazzled in cut-out dresses. This may not be a fashion trend for everyone, though, since cut-out dresses look best on woman who have the body to show off. If you still want to try this celebrity fashion trend, try to find a cut-out dress that flatters your best assets and go from there.

Celebrities are making more and more of a statement with their shoes. Their shoes are the main attraction on the red carpet. When looking for attention-getting shoes like the celebrities, think shoes that have spikes, crazy cut-outs, bows, flowers and studs. Celebrities such as Nicole Richie, Eva Longoria Parker and Fergie all like to sport the dramatic-statement shoes. One thing to remember when trying to follow this celebrity fashion trend, make sure that your shoes are comfortable and wearable if you are going to be wearing them all night.

If you aren't that interested in "notice me" shoes, how about a bold handbag to add to your outfit? Celebrities are still carrying around bold and dramatic handbags. No longer are plain black and brown handbags acceptable in Hollywood. No, you have to be like Blake Lively, Jessica Simpson or Paris Hilton and carry around a handbag that is a bold color or has unique accessories on it. Think bright pink like the bag that Alexander McQueenmakes or a geometric print handbag like Kate Spade designed. This fashion trend is definitely going to be carried into the spring months, because spring is known for color. So go ahead, take a leap and go for this celebrity fashion trend and you can act like you are Paris Hilton walking down the streets of Hollywood.

Celebrities like Rihanna, Nicole Richie and Miley Cyrus all love to make a statement with their jewelry. Look for big, chunky pieces of jewelry that sparkle and shine. Bracelets, necklaces, watches and even rings are popular choices among celebrities. To really follow this celebrity fashion trend, make sure that you are not adding too much jewelry to your outfit. You really want one or two key pieces that pop and make people take notice. If you wear too many big jewelry pieces, you may just get lost in them and that is not a celebrity fashion trend!

Celebrities are showing more and more shoulder these days. As the weather gets a little colder, celebrities are covering up their bodies a little bit more and using the shoulders as a peek-a-boo body part. Reese Witherspoon was seen wearing a beautiful lace gown that had an asymmetrical shoulder. Rihanna was also seen wearing a wonderful one-shouldered dress on the red carpet. If you are not sure about the asymmetrical neckline, look to the other celebrities such as Nicole Richie, Megan Fox and Miley Cyrus who have been wearing strapless dresses on the red carpet. Both strapless and asymmetrical dresses make wonderful party dresses for the upcoming holiday parties that you may have.

Not all women like wearing knee-high boots in the winter. For those women, there are alternatives that will still be in line with celebrity fashion trends. They are called booties. These shoes almost appear to look like boots, but they stop at the ankle bone on the leg. These shoes can be worn with skirts and dresses or even with your basic jeans. There are several celebrities that are fans of the booties, such as Blake Lively, Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and Kate Hudson. If you aren't sure if booties are for you, check out one of the celebrities' favorite designers, Rock and Republic, to get an idea if they would work for you.

So, what's the favorite color of the celebrities this winter? It seems like purple is going to be quite popular among celebrities this year. It was popular back in the summer and is continuing into the winter season. Everything from purple shoes to purple handbags and down to purple dresses and purple sweaters. Reese Witherspoon, Rihanna, Kelly Ripa and Taylor Swift. Look for purple tones that are richer and deeper like plums and mauves, instead of pastel purples. If you really aren't a purple wearing person, why not try out a purple cocktail ring to add just a splash of purple?
