Stilettos, Skin And Snow: Estelle, Paris And Others Shiver For Style At Sundance

While we’ve spent some time this week admiring the very practical wardrobe choices of the stars at the Sundance Film Festival, we also had a few SMH moments as we flipped through some pics from Park City. Some celebrities refuse to trade in their typical Hollywood red-carpet style for puffy coats and Sorels. Take Estelle, for instance, who was at the festival for the first time.

“It’s cold! It’s snowy and cold! Why do they do this here?” the British songstress asked VH1 News as we noticed her beautiful, but very delicate, sparkly pumps. “Darling, I have to be fabulous! I don’t want duck boots! I have duck boots; I left them home in New York.”

But if she comes back again next year, she’ll give in. “I will be here in furs, big thick jumpers, boots, and I will not take them off for anybody. Layers are cute.”

Check out all the other stars who sacrificed comfort for style, including Paris Hilton, Kate Bosworth, AnnaLynne McCord and more. And you can find the rest of VH1 News’ Sundance interviews right here.

Olivia Wilde And Jason Bateman’s Kiss Joins The Parade Of Awkward Celeb PDA

OK, so Jason Bateman and Olivia Wilde’s fish-mouth kiss happened while filming The Longest Week in Brooklyn today, rather than, say, during a romantic date to the aquarium. That being said, that is truly one awkward lip lock. Are we all supposed to be opening our jaws that wide? Have we been doing it wrong this entire time? While we might personally prefer to do our weird, uncomfortable smooching in the privacy of our own homes, we do enjoy cringing at awkward PDAs, provided there are famous peeps involved. With that in mind, please enjoy some of our favorite awkward celeb PDAs. You know they did.

Dakota Fanning’s Marc Jacobs Spot Joins The Long History Of Controversial Ads


Dakota Fanning’s banned Marc Jacobs ad was deemed too saucy for the good people of Britain early today, though so far the spot is considered safe for American eyes. Despite what you might think about the advert itself, Dakota (and Jacobs) certainly aren’t the first people to come up with a controversial campaign that had people gasping…or cringing…or just rolling their eyes. From the extremely sexual to the merely gross to the extremely sexual and gross, and starring celebs like Pamela Anderson, Keira Knightley and Jessica Alba, controversial ads are as common as, well, controversial ads getting banned. Check out some of the most memorable controversial advertising below!

Best Celebrity Halloween Pics: The Twitter Edition


Happy Halloween, Fablifers! We’ve already shown you the 40 craziest celeb Halloween costumes, and our 10 faves from this past weekend. But those were all such polished, professional affairs, weren’t they? We’re pretty sure that social networking was created mostly so that we could share hastily snapped pics of ourselves and friends making fools of themselves at Halloween parties. And in that respect — silly celebs in costumes, they’re just like us! The collection below gathers the blurry, the scary, the red-eyed, the not-quite-identifiable and the wish-we-were-there shots that famous people from Nina Dobrev and Lea Michele to Eli Roth and Zachary Quinto posted to their Twitter feeds over the weekend. There are some brilliant homemade costumes in the bunch — a bunch of Glee kids as the Rugrats, Leslie Mann as Kreayshawn — after all, many of these actors started off as geeky theater kids. Some A-listers clearly got professional help with their getups (cheating!). And though some look like lame last-minute costumes, we don’t mind because still love seeing the rich and famous not taking themselves seriously.

Peruse the gallery, steal ideas for tonight, and oooh and ahhh at yet another shot of Heidi Klum miraculously making herself gross.

Steve Jobs Dead: World Reacts To Loss Of A Visionary

It would be hard to overstate how much Apple co-founder Steve Jobs transformed our lives, from getting a mouse into our hands to introducing the touch screen, from how we listen to music to how we talk face-to-face on our mobile phones. In the end, Jobs definitely delivered on his “Think Different” advertising slogan. So it’s not surprising that celebs from every walk of life took to Twitter and Facebook like the rest of us to share their condolences upon hearing that he lost his battle to cancer at the age of 56. R.I.P. Steve.

Paris Hilton’s New Avatar — DJ?

Are you ready to see Paris Hilton behind the console DJ’ing at a club you happen to be, unsuspectingly, grabbing a drink or two at? We’re not sure we want that to happen, because — just no, honey. But if the heiress gets her way, that’s going to become a reality very soon. Paris has apparently been training to become a house music DJ! And part of her research has been tailing top spinmeisters across the globe to learn some tricks. These include top dogs like Afrojack and Deadmau5 who are supposedly, good friends of hers.

The aim is to become the top female house DJ ever because, as a source explains, “no woman has ever taken over in that arena … and she wants to become that person.” She’s also been working on a house music album which she’s pushing to release before the year ends. You guys on board with this?

Paris Hilton’s Stalker Strikes Again

James Rainford has it in for Paris Hilton. The dude just doesn’t give up! He broke into Paris’ house and was held on $20,000 bail last year. He then attacked her now ex-boyfriend (remember him?) Cy Waits outside a courtroom where Paris was going to testify against another stalker.

This time around James — who was shirtless, ewww — struck outside her pad on Malibu Beach. Cops were alerted to his presence when someone reported Rainford trying to look into her house thus violating a court order that required him to stay 200 yards away from her. Poor Paris tweeted while watching from the balcony, “My stalker needs to leave me alone.” What will it take to throw him in jail and keep him there? This is the third time he’s tried to get Paris, and what’s stopping him from getting violent on her next time?

Hook-Up Alert: Paris Hilton And The Hangover Director, Todd Phillips!

Now that Paris Hilton is a single lady again, it’s time to play the field! No offense or anything, but we’re just a little surprised at her choice of “field”. TMZ has published a photo of Paris and Todd Phillips — the director of The Hangover, Parts I and II — making out with each other, totally oblivious to the rest of the world! We’re talking about Paris and Todd sucking face, plural, too! Please tell us you’re as surprised as we are because these two would be pretty high-up on our list of unlikely hook-ups! Who knows, maybe after a while, you become your movies!

The photo was snapped last week at Beacher’s Madhouse at the Roosevelt Hotel, Hollywood, FYI. Todd was also reportedly at Paris pre-4th of July bash where they “only had eyes for each other”, or so say sources. Cy Waits, who?

George Clooney And Elisabetta Canalis Break Up?

Can any woman lock this man down? Elisabetta Canalis and George Clooney have split up according to a statement received by Italian site TG24. “”We’re not together anymore,” reads the note. “It’s very difficult and very personal, so we hope that our privacy is respected.” Italian model/TV host Canalis began dating Clooney in the fall of 2009, with the pair hitting European premieres for his Fantastic Mr. Fox, Up In The Air and The Men Who Stared At Goats all in one busy, glamorous week. Though rumors of a split came in April 2010, the pair were spotted holding hands just days later.

No details have been given for the split (they were spotted together in Italy less than a week ago), though there’s plenty of potential sticking points for rubberneckers to consider. Clooney’s confirmed bachelorhood was one obvious tangle: even if Canalis doesn’t want children (“My maternal desires are fully satisfied with my dogs,” she’s said), her man’s rumored roving eye couldn’t have been easy to put up with. Plus, as Brangelina could tell you, kids make it easier for international celebs to stay in touch. Without some fashionable orphans to raise, what’s to keep either calling regularly when George is off making movies and Elisabetta is posing in bikinis on a yacht? Look on the bright side, guys—there are undoubtedly plenty of other rich, attractive fish in the sea who’d be happy to dry your tears. For instance, Paris Hilton is single! We’re sure she’d take your call, George.
