Bump Watch: Snooki, Reese, Camila

Camila Alves has been on the Magic Mike promo trail with hubby Matthew McConaughey. She is pregnant with the couple's third child. Here they are out in Berlin.
 Reese Witherspoon is currently filming in Georgia and expecting a baby in the Fall.
Snooki has revealed that she will name her son Lorenzo. She moved out of the Jersey Shore house after wrapping another season this week. Frankly, if Snooki is sober, I expect some real magic out of Pauly D to carry this season.
In other baby news, Kelsey Grammer's, 57, wife gave birth to a daughter named Faith.

Celeb Potpourri: Hathaway, Hudson, Klum

So these two ladies are Disney starlets and doing some promo work for their upcoming made-for-tv movie. I really like both of their dresses so they make it to a post today. The one on the left is in a floral Kate Spade's Carissa dress and the other is in a Cameo white dress with a bright pop of color via her Cambridge Satchel.
 I'm not feeling Anne Hathaway with this pixie cut and do hope it is being grown out. Her fringed dress is Stella McCartney.
Adam Levine's ex is looking pretty happy and gorg as she hits an art gallery event in NYC.
 Also there was Jennifer Hudson who is preparing for her fashion line to launch in a couple months.
Heidi Klum spent the afternoon shopping in New York with two of four kids, Johan and Leni.
She is in town promoting Project Runway. There is a lot of patterns going on in this look and I can't handle it. BTW check out that super fly kid with her kitty cat headband. She a baby fashionista.

Comic-Con Fashion 2012: Liu, Kunis, Williams, Twilight Chicks

I mean, when is the last time you saw Lucy Liu? It's been a hot minute, right?  Homegirl does not age or change ever!  She turned up at Comic-Con in a Mario Schwab dress.
Is this not the story of Ashley Greene's life? She always looks close to amazing. These chunky shoes are so distracting from the conservative, slim line Michael Kors.
 Michelle Williams kept it quirky in a printed Giulietta shift paired with some playful Giuseppe Zanotti heels. 

PYTs: Kiki, Duff, Simpson, Mitchell

Ahem, do you see this top Hilary Duff is wearing while shopping with her family in New York? It is the blouse version of the A.L.C. dress I lusted over yesterday!
 Emma Roberts heads to lunch with some new bangs while Miley Cyrus does her favorite activity, daily pilates!
Ashley Simpson touches down in the world's most popular Wildfox sweater, which her sister wore on July 4th. I think the sweater is cute, but the ratty holes it comes with does zip for me.

DON's Deal: Retail Therapy


You know when you are shopping for two really specific things (black pumps and a dress for a wedding), but all you see are irrelevant items you now really want? Here's what I happened upon today:

This hot little backless white Rachel Zoe Lydia Dress looks perfect with this Kenneth Jay Lane Snake Necklace. I'm very into high necklines, open backs right now. Hard to see, but that Zig Zag Parker skirt is sequined. Perfectly paired with orange for a Fall soiree. Yes, I'm starting to think Fall already!

Catching up with the VS Angels

Headlines seem to be really excited about Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine dating today...
 ...but they've been publicly together for months? Below is a picture of them in Hawaii together in May.  I actually really like the personality I've seen from Behati, a 23-year-old VS model from Namibia. She is best friends with fellow VS model Candice Swanepoel, 23, who is from South Africa and currently #10 on Forbes' top model earners list.
 #7 on that list is 29-year-old Miranda Kerr, who was out in New York again yesterday.
 #6 is Alessandra Ambrosio, 31, who has been spending nearly every day this summer on the beach in Malibu with her daughter Anja and her son Noah, born in May. 

I think we have a future model on our hands with Anja!
#5 earner Doutzen Kroes, 27, lead the VS girls (Lindsay Ellington, Arlenis Sosa, Behati Prinsloo, and Erin Heatherton) on a charity ride at Soul Cyle in NYC. Erin is currently dating Leonardo DiCaprio and is the Godmother to fellow VS Angel Lily Aldridge's daughter, Dixie Pearl.

DON's Dishes: Gazpacho

In law school on Fridays, my besties and I would often treat ourselves to what we called "Alcoholic Salads" from Duke's in Malibu, which were actually Bloody Mary's with lots of veggies hanging out the top.  This version of gazpacho reminds me a lot of a virgin soup version of that drink. It is cool, refreshing, packed with vegetables, filling, low-calorie, and takes about 5 minutes to make. Sold yet?  I generally eat a big bowl of this in the late afternoon to stave off hunger/reduce my need for a big meal after work.  It keeps for several days in the fridge, just give it a good shake if it separates!  Final note, consistency is up to you. The gazpacho of my childhood is way chunkier and I love that - this is more like a smoothie texture...a Bloody Mary smoothie!

Not mine, but you get the idea.

ESPY Ladies: Olivia, Jessica, Zooey, Hayden

At the ESPY Awards, Jessica Biel pulled a 180 and showed up as a ballerina. I love her Christian Dior dress; it's so girly and feminine which is perfect for her strong figure. However, the hair up and the shoes really make this look too Swan Lake. Nude heels and some cool jewels and she would have been the belle of the ball.
Hayden Panettiere wore a strapless Giorgio Armani. Meh, it's fine. I'm sure she's hunting for her next athlete boyfriend!
Maria Sharapova in J.Mendel. A daring dress that goes great with her eyes. This is reminding me to cancel my eyebrow appointment for Saturday. I thought I could learn to love the dark brows with blonde hair, but it isn't happening.
Olivia Munn wears Armani. She is so pretty and this dress is just so boring. If it were in a jewel tone or something that popped a bit more against her olive skin, it would have been good.
Zooey Deschanel finally ditched her black tights, but WHY the belt on this gorgeous Oscar de la Renta?!? Also, gold heels, purse, and dress is not golden. So close, but not nearly the most upsetting of the night.
That would be Cheryl Burke...
How do we feel about this look, JLaw?

Summertime Girls: Kerr, Kloss, Richie, Kelly

Miranda Kerr is looking summer fresh in floral while grabbing a green juice in New York.
 Bing held a summer charity event which brought out some celebrity helping hands like model Karlie Kloss...
...Maria Menounos...

  ...and Nicole Richie, who wore her House of Harlow flats.  Looks like she is growing out her hair again. Do you like her better with her sleek bobs or long locks?
Minka Kelly picked up her pup from daycare in Los Angeles, which I will be doing in 1.5 hours. Tamale gave me the saddest look when I tried to leave this morning so to daycare she went.
Brenda Song has been uber low key since calling off her engagement to Miley Cyrus' brother Trace. She seems to have forgotten her pants while shopping with a friend on Robertson.

DON's Dishes: Tabouli

I tend to get really bored of lettuce-based salads and love to mix it up, especially in the summer when there are so many fresh veggie options! My tabouli comes from my Lebanese neighbor, Mikey, and is different than most restaurant variations because it doesn't have mint in it and it does have peas.  The only thing that requires cooking is the bulgar, which is a low-fat, high fiber protein similar to quinoa. Takes about 15 minutes to fluff up, easy peasy!

Tabouli
2 tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 cucumber, diced
1.5-2 bunches of parsley, chopped, big stems removed
1 cup bulgar, cooked
4-5 scallions, diced
2-3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

1. Combine all ingredients. Best if you let sit for a day, stirring or flipping occasionally to marinate all the veggies. I tend to go heavier on the lemon juice and lighter on the olive oil, but the more you marinate, the yummier it gets!

Hot Couple of the Minute: Lily and Jamie

Lily Collins has chucked her sometime boyfriend Zac Efron in favor of Jamie Campbell Bower. The 23-year-old was formerly engaged to Ginny Weasley and plays the vampire Caius in the Twilight films. Just to round this out, Lily used to date Twilight star Taylor Lautner.

Getting Sirius: Piper, Diane, Rose

Lots of ladies stopping by the Sirius studios for some on-air promotion. 
Diane Kruger did hers in Vanessa Bruno dress, casual pony, and white flats.
 Um, Piper kind of looks like a bad post-botox here, but I love her red Moschino bow neck dress! She wore gold Alexandre Birman closed toe pumps. This dress is sold out, too! No luck today!
 Rose Byrne in Boy by Band of Outsiders at the studio...
 ...and with loose waves and a Rebecca Taylor jumpsuit for an appearance on Jimmy Fallon.

LA Ladies: Walsh, Cyrus, Agron, Duff

I had a feeling this Girls Just Wanna Have Fun tee from Wildfox was going to get really popular with the Hollywood set. Enjoy the look on Nicole Scherzinger because it's already sold out.
Post-wisdom teeth surgery, Lea Michele grabs lunch with her boyfriend at Pace in a Helmut Lang sweater. They will be heading south for ComiCon this week.
 Hilary Duff does not like to leave the house without big earrings and bigger heels! She did some shopping at Curver in Los Angeles.
Miley Cyrus left pilates, which she is totally devoted to, and displayed a new tattoo on the inside of her left arm which reportedly is a Teddy Roosevelt quote reading, "So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
 Kate Walsh promotes her perfume in Christian Cota.
Dianna Agron shopped for groceries in a skirt from Anthropologie. (Looks to be sold out, sorry!)
Lana Del Rey is trying to oust Lindsay Lohan as the celeb most often seen at the Chateau Marmont!
