Jan 9, 2012 Beyonce in Persol Sunglasses
Beyonce and Jay-Z got a fantastic start to 2012 with the birth of their baby girl, Blue Ivy. Beyonce gave birth at NYC's Lenox Hill Hospital on Saturday via C-section, apparently in the super-star-style she's become all too accustomed to. According to various sources, the proud new parents pulled out all the stops to make sure they welcomed their new baby girl in high style, reportedly shelling out a whopping $1.3 million to take over a swanky, newly renovated suite--and according to some reports an entire floor --of Lenox Hospital. What's more, when Beyonce checked in -- under the pseudonym Ingrid Jackson -- her diva-ish demands included a full-scale security team, hospital staffers being forced to turn over their cell phones (to avoid any unauthorized picture snapping), and the lenses of the floor's security cameras being covered with tape. Can't say this royal couple didn't cover ALL the bases.
Their star-powered friends also came out in droves on Twitter to offer congrats including Gwyneth Paltrow, Rihanna and Russell Simmons. According to GMA, the couple chose "Ivy" because of the significance of the number "4" or "IV," -- Beyonce and Jay-Z were born on Sept. 4 and Dec. 4, respectively, were married on April 4, 2008, and Beyonce's latest album is entitled 4. Bet it won't be long before Beyonce is back to her svelte "fighting weight" as she is here in true diva style donning these

It’s a safe bet that hunky
Star Trek actor Chris Pine could have just about any lady he wants accompany him to an event, but the star brought his dad along to the Rebecca Minkoff show at Lincoln Center for New York Fashion Week. Chris’ father, Robert Pine, is no stranger to the perks that come along with being a celeb (like checking out hot models!) since he’s an actor himself—best known for his role on the NBC hit series
CHiPs during the late 1970s and early 80s.
His dad has recently done some voice over work, but Chris filmed a rom-com called
This Means War with
Reese Witherspoon and Tom Hardy last fall, and it’s slated to hit theaters in February 2012. He’ll also co-star in the upcoming family drama
Welcome to People alongside
Elizabeth Banks,
Olivia Wilde, and Michelle Pfeiffer. The handsome duo sat in the front row at the show, near Alexis Bledel,
Sophia Bush, and Angela Simmons. Chris donned a simple white tee and Yankees cap to dress down and avoid the press, but we’re sure he had the ladies drooling nonetheless. He looks ultra-hot in these

The Jonas Brothers have spent the past few years dominating the teen music scene. But after selling millions of albums and winning the hearts of adolescent girls worldwide, 22-year-old Joe Jonas is all grown up and ready to break out on his own. Bubbling for quite some time now, Joe's set to release his solo debut album,
FastLife, on Oct. 11. And before he starts his gig opening for Britney Spears on the European leg of her
Femme Fatale tour later this fall, the singer will be teaming up with R&B superstar Jay Sean to co-headline a 19-city tour, kicking off Sept. 6. JJ talked to Parade.com about his new album. "It's been really awesome to see how many people have supported me on this solo project. I've been doing a lot of traveling and recording over the past year… I've been really lucky to find some incredible people to work with and I'm really happy with the album." Luckily, he says, the results have been fruitful and so far fans are loving the new music--even new ones are coming around who may have not listened to the Jonas Brothers before.
Joe's also excited to head out on tour with Brit, "It is a dream come true. She's the perfect headliner. I've always been a huge fan of her music." But what do the rest of the JoBros think of JJ's new album? "They are loving it," he says. They've been really supportive. They have their favorite songs already and it's been really great to see what songs they are leaning towards and what they like." Let's face it, when it comes to Joe, what's not to like especially in a dashing pair of

Heartthrob George Clooney is rarely single for too long. This week, reports surfaced that George has been hooking up with Stacy Keibler, a WWE female wrestler perhaps best known for her former stint on ABC's
Dancing With the Stars. Apparently the couple was introduced by a mutual friend. George's publicist won't comment on his personal life, and went so far as to say that George is finishing a movie right now and he hasn't had any way to reach him for the past several weeks." (yeah, right!) Stacy's rep is not responding to requests for comment on the topic either.
Meanwhile, the rumor continues, fueled by reports on People.com and Us Weekly's websites about the unexpected George-Stacy hookup. One source told Us: "It's more than just a fling. ... They're basically exclusive at this point. They like each other's sense of humor…" In recent weeks, the super-fit blonde has been overseas on a whirlwind European vacation, hopping from Cannes to Ibiza to London and, allegedly, to GC's adopted home of Lake Como, Italy. She posted this cryptic tweet on July 9: "I am the luckiest girl in the world," adding three smiley-faces for emphasis. If the are rumors true, she's lucky indeed.

It seems like most celebs enjoy giving their children
unique (cough, cough) names, but there
is a sweet story behind Bing’s moniker—Bingham is Matt’s mother’s maiden name, and Bing was also Kate’s pseudo-stepfather Kurt Russell’s father’s name. The baby’s middle name, Hawn, is obviously a tribute to Kate’s mom, Goldie Hawn—Kurt Russell’s partner of nearly thirty years.

Jun 29, 2011 Shia LaBeouf in Persol Sunglasses
Shia's been beating the pavement hawking his new film
Transformers: Dark of the Moon which opens in theaters today. But the real news has been more focused on his love life. He admitted that he hooked up with Megan Fox while making the earlier
Transformers films -- and he's not sure whether or not his sexy costar was attached at the time to then-boyfriend Brian Austin Green, now her husband. (say what?) In a new Details mag interview, Shia explained about the hook up, "Look, you're on the set for six months, with someone who's rooting to be attracted to you, and you're rooting to be attracted to them." And when asked about Megan's status with Brian at the time, he flustered, "I don't know." (and repeated "I don't know" about eight more times). "It was what it was." He added that the time he spent with Megan was "their own thing," and that you can see the chemistry onscreen. He also fesses up about other previous romantic hook ups including a single date with fellow Disney alum Hilary Duff--which he described as "probably the worst date either us of have ever had." But he gushed about his ex-girlfriend Carey Mulligan, with whom he parted ways in October 2010: "I still love her...I think she's a fu**ing awesome person and an incredible actress. We're still pals."
Now, five months after stepping out together hand-in-hand, the 25-year-old actor and current gal pal, Hollywood stylist Karolyn Pho, are still going strong. Although Shia became a superstar thanks to the mega-blockbuster
Transformers franchise, he says he's ready for more sophisticated material. "There's this coming-of-age thing that's happening within me," he says of his acting career. "I have these yearnings to do different things. Which way is this boy gonna go? I have no idea." We do know, however, that he's looking mighty hot with an extra "pumped-up" physique and wearing dapper

Julia Roberts is hitting the big screen with Tom Hanks--who happens to return to his comedic roots in the new highly-anticipated film. Julia and Tom dish about the film--
Larry Crowne--in the new issue of W magazine. In the flick, which Tom also directed and co-wrote with
My Big Fat Greek Wedding's Nia Vardalos, Tom plays a middle-aged man who loses his job and decides to go back to college while Julia plays his disillusioned teacher. While writing the script, Tom admits he had the 43-year-old starlet in mind while creating the role Mercedes Tainot. "I had some teachers who looked like Julia. I would see them and think, 'I love you.' So there was never anyone but Julia." (too cute!) But he does say she can be quite intimidating.
While it might have been a bit scary for Tom to direct Julia, the mom of three confesses that parts of filming were scary for her, too. Standing in front of classroom had her, unexpectedly, shaking in her boots. "All those faces looking up at me, thinking, 'What is she going to teach us?' I needed to find my composure. It was very hard -- it was terrible, in fact." Luckily, Julia says, she got to indulge in quite a few on-camera cocktails. "I spend a lot of the movie woozy," Julia laughs. "Tom had me chugging margaritas." You can catch Julia in

Let’s face it: the world has a secret fascination with the adorable-child-star-turned-raunchy-bad-girl known as Lindsay Lohan. Seriously, who would have dreamed that the freckle-faced cutie from
The Parent Trap and
Freaky Friday would one day join the likes of Danny Bonaduce, the
Diff’rent Strokes cast and Corey Feldman to become a poster child for trainwrecks?
At the moment, LiLo’s in the middle of a felony grand theft trial. An upscale Venice jewelry store told police that Lindsay had stolen a necklace back in January, while she was already on probation for a 2007 DUI case. The media circus surrounding the whole thing has celebrity gossip-lovers rolling their eyes (while reading every morsel they can find about Linds on the sly, of course!) Lindsay, who has pleaded not guilty, rejected a judge's offer to end the case early—a signal that the
Mean Girls actress intends to battle it out in court.
Lindsay’s attorney notified the prosecutor handling the case that Lindsay would not be taking the plea bargain, which means that she’ll be required to appear in court on April 22, 2011 for a preliminary hearing. A new judge will determine whether there is enough evidence for her to stand trial. What a frenzy that’ll be! Meanwhile, Lindsay is all smiles in these glam

As the magnetic Javier Rodriguez — a Mexican border cop struggling to remain honest amid the corruption and deception of illegal drug trafficking — del Toro, who spoke most of his lines in Spanish, gave a performance that dominated the film and earned him an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

Persol 0714, $232Apr 7, 2010 Chris Brown in Persol sunglasses
Ah, Chris Brown. Where does one begin. He's had a heckuva year--one minute he was raking it in on top of the Billboard charts, and the next, he was raking trash roadside in an orange jumpsuit. Before that ill-fated night of he and then girlfriend Rihanna's altercation, he was riding high with double-platinum albums, music tours with Beyonce, and TV appearances on popular shows like The OC, showcasing his acting chops. Since then he's been battling Hum-Vee-busting hits from the media and music industry as he tries to climb his way back to grace. On a higher note, Chris' urban-preppy-chic style gave way to these fab Persol sunglassess which are unabashedly ultra-cool--and he's working them to the core. These gorgeous sunglasses come in six luxe frame tones. Gotta hand it to the guy, though, for continuing to solidify his style status by rocking these shades.
