We have a plethora of pressies from Woody Allen’s To Rome with Love!

No sooner had the first poster been released yesterday, than today we get the first trailer to go with it. The fact that all of this is coming out so quickly right on top of the name change announcement and the first stills, pretty much cements the idea that on April 19 we’ll hear that Woody’s latest is joining the lineup at Cannes. (It’s anyone’s guess at this point. We know he won’t get the opening night gig and it doesn’t open in France until July, even though it does open in Italy in April…and Woody’s kinda tempermental.)

The romantic-comedy is made up of four vignettes, two of which center on American characters and two on Italian characters.  Enjoy the trailer:

The cast includes Allen himself as well as quite a few who have appeared in his films before, like Alec Baldwin, Penélope Cruz, Ellen Page, Jesse Eisenberg, Roberto Benigni, Judy Davis, Greta Gerwig, and Alison Pill. To Rome with Love is scheduled for limited release in the US on June 20. If it does as well as Midnight in Paris, we can expect it to go wide shortly thereafter.

Some news and first images have surfaced for the ever secretive Woody Allen’s latest film. It had been known as Nero Fiddled but was was officially renamed as To Rome With Love.

To go with the new title, we have the first eleven images to share, including Allen on set. 

The romantic-comedy is made up of four vignettes, two of which center on American characters and two on Italian characters.

Even better, we have the full cast list. It includes quite a few who have appeared in his films before, including Allen himself as well as  Alec Baldwin, Penélope Cruz, Ellen Page, Jesse Eisenberg, Roberto Benigni, Judy Davis, Greta Gerwig, and Alison Pill.

To Rome With Love opens in Italy on 20th April before making the crossing to the US on June 22. (The early European opening leads me to think he may head to Cannes in May, although since he won’t be the opening night film as Midnight in Paris was last year- that honor has been given to Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom- it's possible Allen may skip the festival.)

Motherhood looks great on Penelope Cruz as she walks the red carpet for the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides world premiere at Disneyland in Anaheim, California over the weekend.

This Pirates’ instalment sees Jack Sparrow and Barbossa seeking the fountain of youth only to learn that Blackbeard and his daughter are as well.  Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides opens in theatres May 20. Will you be seeing it?

And what a star-studded world premiere it was. In addition to the main man Johnny Depp there were tons of other stars. Who could resist a premiere and Disneyland all in the same day?

Pictures of these and other stars after the break:

• David Cook
• Kirstie Alley
• Maksim Chmerkovskiy
• Eva Longoria
• Keith Richards
• Emma Roberts
• Vanessa Hudgens
• Teri Hatcher

Let there be fabulous Oscar fashion … and so there was at last night’s 83rd Academy Awards in Los Angeles!!!

I’m not sure what the world waits for most – who receives an Oscar or who wore what?   But, if there’s one event where everyone wants to look great, it’s Oscar night and the stars proved it again.   So sit back, break out the bubbly (depending on your time zone) and let’s get this party started as the biggest stars sashay down the world’s most glamorous red carpet!

Firstly, I couldn’t help but notice a lesser amount of jewellery this year, which I found to be refreshing.   Don’t get me wrong.  A girl can never have enough bling-bling. However, the bauble trend was mostly earrings or a bauble here and a bauble there.

Two trends this year picked up on my fashion radar:  red and nude/blush.  Anne Hathaway definitely stands out on the red carpet in a red low-bustled, strapless Valentino Haute Couture gown.  And while  Sandra Bullock was a winner last year, she’s a winner again this year as one of the most elegant women of the night (are we surprised?) dazzling in her Vera Wang strapless red gown.

If great Oscar fashion is the culmination of many years of experience, then this ingenue has nailed it in one night.  Looking like she just stepped out of a fairy tale, princess-in-waiting  Hailee Steinfeld wowed us with her  blushed, tea-length Marchesa gown.   So age-appropriate for her and yet so elegant .   Another Marchesa and Oscar favourite, Halle Berry was stunning as always in a nude crystal-encrusted, ruffled gown.  Does she ever get it wrong?  (Maybe slightly last night, as the only accessory she was missing  … Olivier Martinez. )  It was also nice to see Mandy Moore striking a pose on the red carpet, also in a nude crystal-encrusted, Marchesa gown with train.  I believe this is the first time I’ve seen her at the Oscars, yet she looked like a seasoned pro.

And can you believe Celine Dion just gave birth to twins?  Girl, you have made Giorgio Armani proud in a creme-de-la-creme body hugging gown that most supermodels would run in fear from.  Isn’t black supposed to be slimming?  I mean, really!  How does she do it?   And Penelope Cruz, ditto to you girl!  Your red siren L’Wren Scott gown with flaming sequins sizzled all the way up the red carpet.  By the way, hubby Javier Bardem was looking most delicioso by your side.  (I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again.  I could listen to this guy talk Spanish to his cat all night.)

Let’s not forget the ladies of Black Swan, but black they definitely were not!  Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis danced into our hearts in shades of violet and lavendar.  Natalie draped her mommy-belly in a flowing, effortless violet Rodarte gown with Swarovski crystal beading  (I predict a little fashionista!), while Mila Kunis  dares us in a low-cut Elie Saab lavendar lace haute couture.

If there was ever a moment last night when it felt like the parting of the red sea – oops, I mean red carpet – it had to be when Nicole Kidman arrived in the most stunning Dior haute couture gown I have ever seen!  It was almost like announcing the Queen was in residence.  And that, my friends, she was.   Speaking of royalty, Dame Helen Mirren proves that sleeves are timeless in an elegant, yet fashionable, charcoal grey Vivienne Westwood number.  If she’s invited to the Royal Wedding this spring, I predict she’ll be the best dressed.

Understated elegance included Reese Witherspoon in Giorgio Armani  Prive with $1 million worth of Neil Lane baubles, which I couldn’t see.  But like I said, understated elegance.   Let’s not forget the women behind the men, as Melania Trump gives new meaning to the black dress.

All in all, it was a great night of fashion.  So … drum roll please!  For outstanding best dressed red carpet fashion, the nominees are:   Sandra Bullock, Hailee Steinfeld, Hallee Berry, Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon.  And the Oscar goes to … Nicole Kidman!

So what did you think of Oscar fashion?  Do you like our choices?  Did we miss anyone?  Let us know!

Lots of pictures after the break

There was a picture floating around the internets yesterday showing Penelope Cruz on the set of her latest film looking pregnant.  And now it has been confirmed through Penelope Cruz’s Madrid-based agency that the Spanish actress and her sexy hot stud of a husband Javier Bardem are expecting their first child together.

The two were married in July in the Bahamas in a secret ceremony.  According to the agency she is 4-1/2 months pregnant.

Penelope is currently filming “Pirates of the Caribbean: on Stranger Tides” with Johnny Depp.

Congratulations to the happy couple.

Well it’s about time! Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem have secretly wed.  The two have been dating since 2007 and according to WENN:

The pair wed in an intimate ceremony at a friend’s house in the Bahamas earlier this month (Jul10), a representative for the actress confirms to the Associated Press.

The Vicky Cristina Barcelona beauty walked down the aisle in a gown created by her fashion designer pal John Galliano. Only family members were invited to the nuptials.

These two have always been very private and guarded about their relationship so it’s no surprise they chose to marry in the same fashion.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
