Zoe Saldana is teaming up with Avon to bring you Eternal Magic a fragrance that will be available April, 2010. She looks positively gorgeous in that dress.  She says the scent:

“takes inspiration from the rare Princess Monaco Rose”

On working with Avon:

“It means so much to me to be associated with a company that shares my values and believes in empowering women”

The feelings are mutual according to Geralyn Breig, Senior Vice President and President of Avon North America:

“We are thrilled to have Zoe as the spokesperson for Eternal Magic,” “Every woman wants to be unforgettable and Zoe perfectly embodies that feeling. She’s a rising star in Hollywood and has built a strong reputation for playing empowering characters that leave a lasting impression.”

Here is a video of her talking about the campaign and some behind-the-scenes footage of the shoot.

Reese Witherspoon runs some errands in Hollywood before lunching at Barneys New York.  She recovers well from being with Jake Gyllenhaal.  I’d be walking around in my undies with a tub of Rocky Road ice cream sobbing like a baby.

Ashley Tisdale is outside L.A. Studios in, um, hellooo Los Angeles

Sharon Stone looks incredible after leaving Villa Bianca having had lunch with a friend. This woman is going to turn 52 on March 10! Can you believe it with that body?

Charlize Theron tells Look Magazine what she wants, what she really, really wants in a man:

“I’ve dated very different men, although I’ve always been partial to a hairy crack and a plumber’s butt,” she laughed. “Stuart is my ideal partner – he’s a catch and he’s hot!”

And I’m guessing on the hairy side, no?

They have no plans to wed, but the couple, who have been dating for 7 years want kids:

We both want to have children. I know I’ll be a mother some day and that Stuart will be my children’s father. We’ve talked about it a lot – if it happened tomorrow I’d be over the moon. I’ve always had a fantasy of raising children on a farm just like I was,”

I have some visual images I need to spend the rest of my day getting out of my head.

Sherlock Holmes‘ Robert Downey Jr., Guy Ritchie, and Mark Strong are joined by Diane Kruger, Joel Silver and January Jones for dinner at Lutter & Wegner in Berlin, Germany.

I think I’m going to text some friends to see if they want to meet in Paris for lunch.  Now that’s the life, isn’t it?

Robert Downey Jr. has had to pull out of Cowboys & Aliens citing scheduling conflict. Rumour is that it conflicts with the Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man sequels.

Beyonce needs to take 6 months off to recharge her batteries she tells USA Today:

“It’s definitely time to take a break, to recharge my batteries,” “I’d like to take about six months and not go into the studio. I need to just live life, to be inspired by things again.”

But not before she performs at the Grammy Awards on January 31sth where she is nominated for 10 awards:

“I still haven’t really digested it yet I was focused so much on my husband’s birthday — I threw a big party — that I didn’t really think about it. But it’s really an honor.”

In the spring, Beyonce launched a 110 city tour that included plenty of sight seeing despite the hectic schedule:

“when I got home, I wrote out a contract with myself. I made a list of everything I want to do that has nothing to do with music. Well, some of it does. But I promised myself that I would not go back on tour or in the studio until I finished these things.”

Those things included:

Random things. I want to go to restaurants, maybe take a class, see some movies and Broadway shows.”

But she’s really looking forward to spending time with her nephew:

“He’s a wonderful kid, amazing, so smart. And I spoil him, so it’s a lot of work. He’s a 24-hour job.”

The break will not come easy for her:

“It will be the hardest thing in the world for me to make myself not do an album and shoot a video and turn it in and say, ‘I’m ready!’ I already have all these melodies and ideas in my head. I have to tell myself, ‘Sit down! Sit down!’ “

I hope she takes time off.  I can only imagine what she will come back with when her batteries are recharged!
