Kim and Khloe Kardashian at the 16th Annual Critics Choice Movie Awards

In Uncategorized on January 15, 2011 at 11:52 pm

Kim Kardashian and  Khloe Kardashian both looked ravishing on Friday night when they both presented an award at the 16th Annual Critic’s Choice Awards in Hollywood.

Kim wore a deep-plunging gown by Vera Wang.

 

Khloe dazzled in this super pretty yet chic cocktail dress by Blumarine.

We love it when our favorite sisters do double-duty together.

Celegawking Spring Style

In Uncategorized on April 18, 2010 at 2:25 pm

 Celebgawking has been counting down the days until summer and looks like it’s almost here. Our favorite celebs were out and about this week from birthdays to posing naked and roadside gas stops. We got some serious fashion inspiration from some of our favorite girls (and guys). Spotted above at the 2010 Coachella  celebration is Kate Bosworth sitting pretty with a flower in her hair and the hot accessory this summer, Ray Ban Aviator sunglasses.

Looking to get motivated at the gym, check out this shot by photographer Amanda de Cadenet of an un-retouched Kim Kardashian.  You can see Kim in all her glory in the May issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

Wonder who the boho-chic beauty hiding under the big hat may be? We’re loving the flowey white top and denim short shorts.

It’s Vanessa Hudgens making a pit stop at a gas station with her BF Zac Efron.

Reese Witherspoon always looks classy and we love her laid back look caught here while she was out with her kids Ava and Deacon in Santa Monica yesterday. Love the baseball hat and sunglass combo matched up with neat white sneakers and cuffed shorts.

Reese’s new BF, Jim Toth also matches his new lady love’s style with Nike sneakers and drawstring cargo pants. The five o’clock shadow aint’s so shabby either.

Later that day Reese simply switched hats before heading to the Pacific Palisades for Jennifer Garner’s star-studded 38th birthday party.

Did she or didn’t she? Everyone’s been buzzing about whether or not Kate Hudson went under the knife . What do you think? If this is a miracle bra swimsuit, we’d love to know who made it!

Beyonce caught sittin’ pretty while she sings along with her hubby Jay-Z as he performs at 2010 Coachella. We’re not sure what we think about this ensemble, too many trends at once perhaps? At least she made it up for her fashion foray by performing ‘Forever Young’ with Jay -Z.

Celebs taking over South Beach for Superbowl XLIV

In Uncategorized on February 6, 2010 at 4:54 pm

 

Kim Kardashian, Roselyn Sanchez & Holly Madison hosting the Annual Leather & Lace Party

 The Super Bowl XLIV with the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts brought the celebs out in droves to South Beach. Making the most of Ocean Drive are some of our favorite A-list ladies as they host a myriad of parties including some all-star athletes. Who’s sitting pretty at the Superbowl this year for pre-game festivities? Kim Kardashian hosted the annual Leather & Laces Party while P.Diddy hosted a Models & Bottles Superbowl Jump-off Party at Dolce Ultra Lounge. Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Kendra Wilkinson, Holly Madison, Chace Crawford and Taylor Lautner are also a few faces you can expect to see on Ocean Drive this weekend.

Taylor Lautner getting physical DIRECTV’s Annual Celebrity Beach Bowl where Chace Crawford & J. Lo also got in on the action.

What do you think of the bodysuit combo Rihanna chose to wear onstage at the Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam? Her fans were clearly pleased below.

The Superbowl XLIV celebration with Audi at the W Hotel on Friday night was filled with big names like Hillary Swank and Jessica Alba.

The lovely ladies from The Hills hit the red carpet at the Maxim Party Saturday night.

Kim Kardashian looking pretty in pink at a perfume launch at Sephora in Miami Beach this week.

Kim is here to support her man Reggie Bush at the Superbowl but that doesn’t mean she can’t make a few promotional stops along the way. Fans apparently waited for hours at the Sephora to get a glimpse of the E! reality star. We can’t wait to see the new Kardashian line for Bebe. Perez Hilton has a sneak peek here of what some of the threads will looks like.

The celebs were out in full force Friday night with the Leather & Lace Party hosted by Without a Trace Roselyn Sanchez, our one and only Girl Next Door Holly Madison and Reggie Bush’s girlfriend Kim Kardashian.

It’s a Keeping Up with the Kardashians moment on the red carpet at the Leather & Laces Party. Kim poses with mom Kris and little brother Rob.

Rihanna catches a few quiet moments poolside in South Beach after  performing the night before alongside Justin Beiber.

Kellan Lutz attended the Superbowl XLIV with Audi at the W Hotel  in South Beach.


American Idol’s Jordin Sparks performed at the Eden Roc Renaissance Beach in South Beach with her AI bff David Archuleta.

We’re guessing from this picture that Kate Hudson and son Ryder are Saint fans all the way!

More Glitz and Glamour at the 67th Golden Globes Red Carpet

In Uncategorized on January 18, 2010 at 1:32 am

We’re glad the rain didn’t scare all the celebs from the glitz and the glamour of the 67th Golden Globes. It was umbrella-chic at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel. Meryl Streep and Jennifer Aniston may have skipped the carpet to duck in from the rain but several celebs ignored the elements and braved themselves in front of the cameras. The most popular looks of the evening were purple. Soft corals also seemed to be a big hit as was standard black and white. We saw some unique attire to classic couture. Which ones did you love the best?

We love that Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks flaunts her curves and we love it even more that she chose to wear a gown by Project Runway star Christian Siriano.

Our favorite couple of the night Emily Blunt & John KrasinskiEmily wore Dolce & Gabbana and The Office star wore a suit by Prada.

Singer Leona Lewis wows in a satin gown by Roberto Cavalli.

A sweet scene with our favorite Cougartown star and her hubby. Courteney Cox-Arquette in a gown by Victoria Beckham sheltered from the rain from a dashing David Arquette. 

Drew Barrymore arrives on the red carpet and immediately hams it up for the cameras in this blush-colored gown by Atelier Versace.

Avatar’s Zoe Saldana in a fuchsia gown by Louis Vuitton adorned with some Neil Lane jewels.

Sandra Bullock glows in a Bottega Venetta gown and a big smile for the photogs.

Nine’s Marion Cotillard in a teal Christian Dior gown.

Hollywood “It” couple George Clooney & his gal pal Elisabetta Canalis look fab as they hit the red carpet.

Fergie & her hubby Josh Duhamel brave the rain. Fergie rocking in a lavender Bottega Venetta gown.

Jennifer Garner takes a mommy break and sparkles in Versace.

Nine star Kate Hudson shined in this bodice-hugging gown by Marchesa.

We heart this Gossip Girl hunk! Chace Crawford does right by this suit by D & G.  XOXO

Mad Men’s January Jones goes elegant and all black in classic Lanvin.

Penelope Cruz in a mermaid-esque gown by Giorgio Armani Privé.

We don’t know who Robert Downey Jr. is wearing but he looks great, especially after nabbing the best actor award for a comedy motion picutre for his role in Sherlock Holmes.

 

Young Hollywood…love in the trenches

In Uncategorized on November 14, 2009 at 3:59 am

To be part of young Hollywood royalty often means trading in proms and nights at the mall for long days on film sets far from the classroom. These tween stars may walk more red carpets than homecoming dances but it doesn’t mean they can’t  find time for a little romance.

Photo Mark Seliger  Harper’s Bazaar

They’re back……….With the New Moon premiere only days away, we thought it only appropriate to have a little ode to the two biggest tween stars on the planet right now, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. We adore this pic shot by Mark Seliger for an upcoming issue of  Harper’s Bazaar.

1257947647_pattinson-stewart-290

Someone needs to tell these two that they are not fooling anyone….

twilight-paris-robert-pattinson-and-kristen-stewart-3024114-334-500

Another hot hook up we love is from Slumdog Millionaire. Freida Pinto may be 5 years older than Dev Patel, but age is only a number right?

freida-pinto-240

She’s a Kanye West-surviving pop star who recently nailed a stint on Saturday Night Live.  Then she picked up Entertainer of the Year at the Country Music Awards this past week. He’s the hot, shirtless guy in New Moon.

TaylorLautnerSwift

T & T, or Taylor Swift and Taylour Lautner, met while shooting Valentine’s Day. Swift use to date a Jonas Brother while Lautner use to date Selena Gomez. We’ve caught them hanging out a few times and speculation about their budding romance was even worked into one of Swift’s musical skits on SNL.

taylor-lautner-and-taylor-swift-kissing-photos

Hottest woman on the planet Megan Fox met  90’s teen star Brian Austin Green in 2004. The two have been on again/off again since quietly ending their engagement last February.

megan_fox_and_brian_austin_green

We’re guessing it is probably hard to date the hottest woman in the world. Especially if  you’re possibly the most uninteresting man in the world.

megan-fox-and-brian-austin-green-photo

Tweens Demi Lovato & Joe Jonas are a Disney dream come true. The two met while filming Camp Rock and have been hanging out more and more. With some parental units present of course.

demi-lovato-and-joe-jonas-02

She heats up the CW’s 90210 and he’s part of the Twilight on the Team Edward side. AnnaLynn Cord & Kellan Lutz have been breaking up and making up since 2008.

AnnaLynneMcCordKellanLutz

Before Twilight & Gossip Girl, these two met while hitting the books in college.

ashley-greene-and-chase-crawford-dating

Twilight star Ashley Greene and Gossip Girl hottie Chace Crawford have known each other for quite some time. But apparently old habits are hard to break.

ChaceCrawfordAshleyGreene

Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron are one of our favorite pretty Disney couples. We can’t help but love them. And we have never watched HSM.

zac-efron-and-vanessa-hudgens-photos

We have a little confession to make. We don’t watch Gossip Girl for the intriguing storylines. We watch it for the fabulous clothes that Blake Lively gets to drape across her fab body and for her off-screen love Penn Badgley.

More Gossip Girl royalty. I know, they are so pretty you want a makeover and stat. Jessica Szhor & Ed Westwick. xoxo

Join the John Mayer fan club

In Uncategorized on October 19, 2009 at 1:58 pm


A memorable response from John Mayer on Gawker.com last week.

You may love him or hate him.  You may not want to admit it, but you can’t help it. John Mayer is a bad ass.  For starters he’s a seven-time Grammy Award winner. The talented musician/Hollywood Heartbreaker/Youtube funny guy is also pretty easy on the eyes. No wonder Jennifer Aniston keeps coming back for more.

XXX _JOHN MAYER GAP 1669.JPG

 Mayer celebrated his 32nd birthday on October 16th so we thought it would be nice to give our favorite musically inclined heartbreaker an entire posting dedicated to his talents and his talented arm candy. The musically talented Mayer has proven he is not only quick with the tongue but also with the ladies. So you may ask yourself, what makes John Mayer so damn irresistable? Maybe it’s because you can’t escape him. He Tweets, he creates funny videos with a long laundry list of famous friends and has routine appearances on red carpets to TMZ .

John Mayer says “Who Says” isn’t about smoking pot. It is, judging from this video, about the fabulous happenings in the average day of John Mayer.

jessjohn

Jessica Simpson couldn’t help but fall head over heels for Mayer after her marriage with Nick Lachey came to a screeching halt. Jessica swapped her blonde locks for darker tresses and was suddenly sporting rocker t-shirts as she followed Mayer on his tour bus.

MinkaKelly

John’s brief history with Minka Kelly was decidedly more low-key. Their drama-free existence lasted less than a year when they broke up in 2008. rumors circulated that he was still dating the Friday Night Lights star when he hooked up with Jennifer Aniston, but the two appeared to have remained good friends after their amicable break up.

jenniferaniston

We’ll admit, we never saw this coming. When Mayer and Aniston were first spotted while she was filming her movie “Marley & Me” in Miami, the media frenzy began. The two did their best to remain low-key, only to become “the” couple on the red carpet at the 2009 Oscars. They broke up shortly after but reunited briefly for Aniston’s 40th birthday celebration. Aniston was rumored to have been dating co-stars  Bradley Cooper and Gerad Butler since then, but nothing has really panned out for the Friends star. However reports this month have stated the Aniston and Mayer are back on.

mayer-hewitt-400a0508

The good ole’ days. They broke up back in 2002 but we will always wonder if Jennifer Love Hewitt was the inspiration behind Your Body is a Wonderland.

Finally, you may not like John Mayer’s lyrics, his rants and raves against reporters on the red carpet or even his choice in women but we you can’t help but fall for his entertaining tactics. Look for his new album, Battle Studies, which will be released on November 17th.

Kristin Cavallari…….It’s on bitches!

In Uncategorized on October 6, 2009 at 12:25 am

kristin-cavallari

It’s on bitches……that was the theme of last week’s Season 5 Premier of The Hills on MTV. Lauren Conrad may be stepping down from her throne but MTV is hoping Kristina Cavallari will add a little spice to the line up. Critics don’t seem to think Cavallari has enough “it” factor to keep the shows ratings, but only time will tell. Eager to amp up the drama, the first episode of season 5 kicked off with a bang. The claws are already out between Kristin and Audrina Patridge and we wonder how long it will be before these two tear each other’s eyes out.  We thought we’d kick off an exciting MTV season of Hollywood’s incubator of love, lies and lust with a little photo-collage  of Kristin. After dating the likes of Brody Jenner (where Cavallari described their sex as “vanilla”) and fending off advances from John Mayer (he claims he did not “Bartle her James” or “Benson her Hedges”) -we are dying to know what’s so special about this gal? Maybe it’s the bikini bod or as bad-boy Justin Bobby said last week, Kristin’s just a different “weather” Hmm, interesting analogy.

Check out this video if you want to see how Audrina Patridge really feels about Kristin Cavallari.

 

We’re very curious to know how much Kristin Cavallari is making for her new role on The Hills…some say it could be as much as $63,000  per episode. Others have reported it could be even more.

It may not have the hype of the Oscars or the Golden Globes but the MTV Movie Awards does have some street cred when it comes to a star-studded guest list. Megan Fox, Miley Cyrus, Sandra Bullock, Robert Pattinson, Anna Faris, Ryan Reynolds, Cameron Diaz and Will Ferrell were just some of the people who showed their love on stage. With categories like Best Fight and Hottest Kiss how can we not love the Gen-Y awards show?  The screaming legions of tween fans headed to the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City tonight to find out who got the Best WTF Moment  (Amy Pohler) to Best Song from a movie (hint: Miley Cyrus). And best movie? Drumroll please….Twilight.

Mighty Megan Fox

Hosted this year by SNL’s Andy Samberg we were impressed by his high energy show opener, Sacha Baron Cohen’s fashion risks and the return of Eminem as the first musical performance of the evening. We love that Ben Stiller received the MTV Generation Award and spoofed with Keifer Sutherland. Will Ferrell in red sequins impersonating Neil Diamond was also a memorable highlight. Twilight took almost every award home making the cast extremely happy as they stepped up to the stage again and again to accept awards. Here’s a few of our top picks below from animal prints and rhinestones to gladiator shoes galore and short short minis. There were certainly some hits and misses tonight on the carpet. Then again, what else could you possibly expect at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards?

Celebfest at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner

In Uncategorized on May 11, 2009 at 1:37 pm

DSCN1900

Last year the annual “prom” of journalists and big time politicos brought the likes of Perez Hilton, Pam Anderson and Heidi Montag. This year Obamamania has turned the fundraising dinner into a celebrity-soaked, action packed weekend. Hollywood invaded DC this past weekend and celebgawking was there for all the fun for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Sadly, we had only had our blackberry camera, so please pardon the fuzzy images. The rest of these images are compliments of the talented photogs we share the red carpet with, thanks guys.

DSCN1892

So many media outlets, so many cocktails, so little time….

White House Correspondents Association

Ashton twittered while looked just stunning Demi. Saturday was the first time we saw her in person so we are still a little bit in awe…we walked in behind them and they are flaw…..less.

The weekend-long fun began Friday night, with the Time/People Party at the St. Regis where Ludacris and Kevin Bacon were just a few people to stick their heads in the lavish cocktail party.  The Creative Coalition came back to screen Barry Levinson’s documentary Poliwood at the Naval Museum that included a Q & A and a chance to mingle at a cocktail reception with Dana Delaney, Rachel Leigh Cook, Tim Daly and Kerry Washington. The Impact Film Fund hosted a hush-hush party at L2 with a spotting of Luke Russert and Bradley Cooper. The next morning was Tammy Haddad’s for her annual brunch  that draws a hefty collection of media power players.

We didn’t meet First Lady  Michelle Obama Saturday night, but we did meet the talented man who designed her Inaugural gown, Jason Wu.

Jason Wu, as adorable as he was, couldn’t give us a straight answer on what celeb he’d like to dress next…

On Saturday night the Washington Hilton opened it’s doors for the 3500 people who jam-packed the White House Correspondents Association Dinner.  A line of black SUVs snaked up and down Connecticut Avenue and unloaded some serious A-list royalty. A red carpet packed with photogs, paparazzi and hundreds of screaming fans  dying for Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore (who were in serious conversation with Wolf Blitzer as they headed in). Julia Louis-Dreyfus kept getting her long train stepped on and Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon brought daughter Sosie Bacon along for the night.

Here is a clear shot of Amberlyn’s gown when she hit the red carpet at the Washington Hilton earlier…

Glenn Close wore a white and black print dress and smiled, a lot. Felicity Huffman and her hubby William H. Macy looked thrilled as well. Amber Tamberlyn wore a shocking red Caroline Herrera Couture gown that was so beautiful it would make you cry. Johnathon Rhys Myers is even better looking in person, if you can believe that.

Natalie Portman, in a cut out Balenciaga gown, was a guest of Newsweek.

Gossip Girl cast members Chace Crawford and Matthew Settle. We know Matthew Settle was staying at the Washington Hilton and that his suit was a loaner.

Tom Cruise & Katie holmes were guests at the Vanity Fair table inside. Katie is earing some threads from her new fahsion line.
Party-goers went wild for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who were incredibly charming, posed for pictures  and gave autographs inside the Time/People/CNN Cocktail Reception. We saw Chace Crawford of Gossip Girl take some friendly photo-ops with a gaggle of women following his every move. We wondered if Natalie Portman was going to accidentally pop out of her intricate dress and we wondered what Eva Longoria and Gordon Ramsey were talking about in the corner with Ramsey’s wife. Trading recipes perhaps? We doubt it. Jason Bateman got trapped in a throng of fans as he tried to make his way from the National Journal reception. We really wanted to ask Amy Poehler if her new baby looked more like her or hubby Will Arnett.

Jason Bateman was gracious as dozens of people followed him from spot to the next.

Jason Binn’s Fourth Annual Capitol File After Party was 600 people deep inside the Corcoran Musuem of Art.

Afterwards if you weren’t one of the chosen few to make into the totally inaccessible Bloomberg/Vanity Fair Party  the second best party to gain entry was the Fourth Annual Capitol File After Party hosted by CEO Jason Binn of Niche Media at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Eva Longoria swept by looking tiny and perfect hugging designer Jason Wu, like a long-lost pal. Christian Slater was one of the first celebs to arrive and one of the last to leave. White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel makes TMZ in this video clip.

Here’s a better shot of Eva with her pal, fashion designer Jason Wu, who really liked Michell Obama’s Michael Kors dress and necklace.

Chris Tucker is even funnier in real life! Forest and Keisha Whitaker mingled with guests and took pictures with party-goers. Top Chef’s, Padma Lakshimi, walked around looking stunning in a purple gown and Ludacris brought his mom for a pre-Mother’s Day celebration. We really like Meghan McCain, who was barefoot by the end of the night due to sore feet from high, strappey heels. American Idol judge, Karla DioGuardi was ten times nicer than Simon Cowell and Wanda Sykes showed up late, made the rounds in VIP and walked out the front door at 1:27am.  New dress for celebgawking: $100, gift bag at the Fourth Annual Capitol File After Party: $350, memories of celebgawking’s first White House Correspondents’ Weekend: priceless.
