I’ve been hearing about Spring Breakers for what seems like forever. Every time a pap caught one of the nubile young things that star on their way to the set all I could think was “Are they still filming that? What is it, an updated version of War & Peace?”

Well, no, it isn’t.  Today we have some first official stills (as well as some set pics) and apparently its’ some variation of Girls Gone Wild mashed up with Follow the Boys and Sugar & Spice…or something. It’s from director Harmony Korine (Kids, Gummo) so you know there HAS to more to it than meets the eye. Something subversive I’m sure. Or it could end up being Korine’s most mainstream film yet.

In the film, four college girls (Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, Vanessa Hudgens and Rachel Korine – the director’s wife), land in jail after robbing a restaurant in order to fund their spring break vacation. They find themselves bailed out by a drug and arms dealer (James Franco) who wants them to do some dirty work – like kill his nemesis Arch.

Spring Breakers is in post production now and is being shopped at the Cannes Film Market later this month for distribution. Enjoy the pics (stills courtesy of Kinopoisk via Playlist)

The 2012 Coachella Music Festival came to a conclusion yesterday in Indio, California and it was worth the wait to see the celebrities that attended. Lindsay Lohan was at the event (she was also there on Day 2 but we didn't have photos of her to publish) and I have to say she looks beautiful. Very healthy looking. She's currently under investigation for an alleged assault that took place at a hotel bar and at her last court hearing Judge Sautner told her to stay out of clubs and concentrate on work. TMZ is reporting that she's telling friends it's not a club so it doesn't count. You have to admit she's not looking wasted or under the influence so maybe she is that strong? However she still isn't out of the woods yet until the hotel bar investigation has concluded.

Vampire Diaries' Ian Somerhalder (how beautiful is that man) and his lady love and co star Nina Dobrev were hot and heavy on the PDA action at the festival. That man can try and go as incognito as he wants but he'll always be recognized because he's that beautiful! Plus she's wearing a red dress and stands out among the crowd.

Joshua Jackson and love Diane Kruger as well as Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler rounded out the celebrity lovebirds that attended Day 3.

Coachella 2012 kicked off yesterday to the performances of bands such as The Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys, Pulp, and tons more. But in the audience were also a number of celebrities enjoying the festivities as there are every year. 

One in particular was 30 Seconds To Mars hunky front man Jared Leto.  Several fans recognized him (how could you not he stands out in a crowd with those hypnotic eyes) and hit the celebrity lottery when he posed for pictures with them.

This music festival brings out the hippy in Vanessa Hudgens in a huge way. Every year. The girl looks like she's having the time of her life. Every year. 

Kate Bosworth is also a staple at Coachella only this year her boyfriend is Michael Polish and not Alexander Skarsgard. Imagine being the guy after the girl has dated Alexander? How DO you fill those shoes?

Ooh la la!  Actress Vanessa Hudgens wows the crowd at the Paris premiere of her latest film, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island in a mid-length strapless ivory Moschino number on February 12.  This dress is quite a departure from what we're used to seeing Vanessa in.  It has more of a sophisticated and elegant essence to it.  Love the white-on-white silk embossed paisley design.  Vanessa completed her look with metallic gold Giuseppe Zanotti leather sling backs, Samantha Wills jewels and opaque stockings.  

Mamma mia!  And no, we're not talking about the musical but rather, Elisabetta Canalis when she attended the opening night of the 62th Sanremo Song Festival at the Ariston Theatre in San Remo, Italy on February 14.  Elisabetta struck a stunning silhouette sauntering down the stage steps in this white strapless gown featuring a front pick-up skirt followed by a train.  While I'm not sure who the designer is, I'm guessing it's Roberto Cavalli.  Absolutely gorgeous!

She may be petite, but actress Christina Ricci strikes one of the most memorable red carpet silhouettes that could give any supermodel a run for her money in this stunning black Jonathan Saunders Resort 2012 gown at the 2012 Elle Style Awards at the Savoy Hotel in London, UK on February 13.  The gown features a satin bustier bodice with a sheer pleated overlay and just a hint of a train.  The look says it all:  sexy, sassy, and sophisticated.  (Who needs a flight attendant's uniform?)  And don't forget, Christina is currently starring in the film Bel Ami with hunky Robert Pattinson which opens in theatres today.  

Great gams!  Getting a leg-up on the competition at the 2012 Elle Style Awards in London on February 13 are British model and presenter Lisa Snowdon and British actress Laura Carmichael who both kept it short and sweet.  Lisa Snowdon rocked it in a 60s-inspired pink pastel mini dress with just a hint of a flared skirt that even Twiggy would have approved of.  Meanwhile, Laura Carmichael opted for a more updated mini frock cut in white silk satin with a bejewelled v-neck line, with both ladies completing the look with nude platform pumps.  With legs like these, if you've got it, flaunt it!

No surprises here as Brazilian Victoria's Secret model Isabeli Fontana took home the Best Model award at the 2012 Elle Style Awards.  But before doing so, Isabeli strutted down the red carpet in a figure-hugging pink pastel lace gown by Dolce & Gabbana, accessorizing her look with diamond stud earrings and silver clutch.  But perhaps her best accessory no matter what she's wearing are her stunning blue eyes.  Aren't they gorgeous?

It may be winter, but that didn't stop British model Poppy Delevigne from daring mother earth in a colourful English country-garden inspired mini frock by Mary Katranzou.  (Ahh … I can smell the fresh cut grass now.)  The supermodel gave the Mary Katranzou for Topshop collection its debut at the 2012 Elle Style Awards this past week.  This is a new clothing line and if you love colour, and lots of it, I highly suggest that you check it out at www.ustopshop.com.  Can you imagine a world full of people wearing this much colour?  I can.  

She may have kept it quiet and elegant, but actress Thandie Newton thundered on the red carpet at the 2012 Laureus World Sports Awards this past week in London, U.K.  The actress was sleek and sophisticated in this Grecian-inspired one-shoulder creation by designer Osman.  With just a trace of a gold belt, Roger Vivier clutch, Solange Azagury-Partridge tassel earrings, and sleek and glossy hair, Thandie kept her look sophisticated and trés chic.  Less is definitely more!

That's it for another week happy people.  I hope you enjoyed my picks!  Be sure to return next Friday as I'll have even more great fashion! 

Mark your calendars!  Next Sunday, February 26 is the biggest red carpet event on the planet, the Academy Awards.  And you do know what that means, right?  So be sure to tune in on Monday morning for all my picks from the red carpet.  Until then, have a great weekend and love and peace to you all.

New Line has released a new trailer and whole gaggle of new pics for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Josh “Just Wait Until The Hunger Games” Hutcherson and Vanessa “I Used to Be Zac Efron’s Girlfriend” Hudgens.

I realize I’m probably not the target demographic for this movie but whenever I see Johnson riding on a giant bee, I’m immediately transported to the world of Sid and Marty Croft of H.R. Pufenstuff, Lidsville, Sigmund and the Sea Monster and The Bugaloos fame, but more importantly, the Land of the Lost fame. Not the dreadful theatrical film with Will Ferrell, the delightfully cheesy Saturday morning show that mixed live-action, rudimentary green screens and the lamest monsters ever, the Sleestax. I guarantee they spent a fraction on those special effects of what has been spent on Journey 2: The Mysterious Island

“Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” begins when young Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson) receives a coded distress signal from a mysterious island where no island should exist.  It’s a place of strange life forms,mountains of gold, deadly volcanoes, and more than one astonishing secret.

Unable to stop him from going, Sean’s new stepfather, Hank (Dwayne Johnson), joins the quest.  Together with a helicopter pilot (Luis Guzman) and his beautiful, strong-willed daughter (Vanessa Hudgens), they set out to find the island, rescue its lone inhabitant and escape before seismic shockwaves force the island under the sea and bury its treasures forever.

“Journey 2: The Mysterious Island,” is directed by Brad Peyton (“Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore”).  It also stars Michael Caine as Sean’s grandfather, Alexander Anderson, and Kristin Davis as Sean’s mom, Liz Anderson.”

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island begins expeditions February 10th in the US, Canada and the UK. Hopefully it will answer the question, "Where exactly is 'the deadliest part of the ocean'?"

Enjoy the trailer and the bazillion new pics as well.

Vanessa Hudgens has completely changed her look since her split from Zac Efron. She and her boyfriend Austin Butler (any relation to Gerard?) are seen leaving Target  after lunch today where she wore ripped jeans and a huge hat in a very bohemian manner. The two seem quite smitten with one another as they avoided looking at the cameras.

Although the holes in the jeans are a bit too big for my liking, you can't deny the outfit looks comfortable!

New Line has released four new posters for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. They are testimonials to the wonders of Photoshop, if nothing else. Vanessa Hudgens if certainly defying death with that one handed rope thing. The Rock looks like, well, like The Rock and we totally believe he could leap over ginormous eggs in a single bound. (The UK poster is below. The eggs look more like rocks. So The Rock is leaping over rocks.) Directed by Brad Peyton (Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore), Journey 2: The Mysterious Island stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (he will forever be “The Rock”. He needs to accept that), Michael Caine, Josh Hutcherson, Luis Guzman, Vanessa Hudgens and Kristen Davis​.

The UK trailer gives us a bit more footage and a little more insight into the story (because the domestic trailer was totally confusing *eyeroll*).

Journey 2 – The Mysterious Island is not a new album by a tribute band for a legendary 70’s era rock group,  nor is it one of those movies about a group of pets trying to find their way home after being inexplicably dumped in the middle of nowhere. No, it’s the sequel to that Brendan Fraser classic from 2008, Journey to the Center of the Earth. (Because that one was just crying out for a sequel.)

I must admit, there was a teaser trailer out for this film about a week ago, but it was so ridiculous I couldn’t bring myself to post it. This one is much less cheesy and seems to have taken the comedy, whether intended or otherwise, out of it. I still predict the whole thing will be more cheese-tastic than Philly’s official sandwich, but I could be wrong. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson can do comedy. He’s always so unexpectedly hilarious on SNL and even managed to make The Game Plan watchable, but he can’t be expected to work miracles. And do not be fooled by Michael Caine’s presence. After Jaws 4: The Revenge, all bets are off. (Probably should have been with The Swarm, but what can I say, I was young.)

The synopsis: Young adventurer Sean receives a distress signal from a mysterious island where no island should exist — a place of strange life forms, mountains of gold, deadly volcanoes, and more than one astonishing secret, so he partners with his mom's boyfriend on a mission to find his grandfather, who is thought to be missing on the mythical island.

Journey 2 – The Mysterious Island stars, along with Johnson and Caine, Josh Hutcherson (soon to be seen in The Hunger Games) reprising his role as Sean, Vanessa Hudgens, Luis Guzman and Kristen Davis. It opens February 10 (officially making February the new January.)
