Robert Pattinson in GQ


GQ's scored its own interview with a vampire.

Twilight
heartthrob, Robert Pattinson is the magazine's cover boy for this month.

In the magazine, the 22-year-old reveals that he took Valium before auditioning for the role of Edward Cullen, because he couldn't remember how to do an American accent.

“I took half a Valium and then went into this thing—and all this stuff happened. It was the first time I’ve ever taken Valium...A quarter. A quarter of a Valium. I tried to do it for another audition, and it just completely backfired—I was passing out.”

Freida Pinto: new fashion icon?


Slumdog Millionaire actress Freida Pinto seems to be establishing herself as a budding fashionista!

The 24-year-old recently walked down Dolce & Gabbana's runway during fashion week in Milan along with A-listers Scarlett Johansson and Eva Mendes.

Now, she's taking Paris by storm.

Wearing a white Chanel cocktail dress adorned by layered chains, the actress stole the spotlight from Kate Moss and Lily Allen, who were seated front row along with Pinto at Chanel's Fall 2009 RTW show.

The Slumdog beauty is already rumoured to be the new spokesperson for beauty brand, Estée Lauder, but I suspect partnerships with top designers will happen very soon.

The Christian Louboutin Limited Edition “Marie Antoinette” shoe


Apparently in a time of recession, people will pay $6,295.00 for ridiculously ugly shoes.

I'm a huge fan of Christian Louboutin, but this limited edition "Marie Antoinette" shoe is definitely not one of his best creations.

To be fair, you're not just paying for the shoes.

The money you'll be spending will also get you a specifically constrcuted box to keep your heels, and an illustrated book explaining how these intricate shoes were created.

Only 36 pairs have been made (in blush pink, ochre yellow and royal blue), and all of them have been claimed.

Unexpected friendships on Gossip Girl?

Even though we've been Gossip Girl deprived (but fret no more, a new episode airs next week!), we've been teased with plenty of spoilers, previews of upcoming episodes.

It has already been revealed that Michelle Trachtenberg will be returning as the conniving Georgina Sparks.

Photos of Georgina and Chuck have emerged, sparking some questions, but now, she also seems to be getting friendly with Blair and Nate.

I wonder what could be bringing these four together!

Any thoughts?

Uh-oh! More drama and controversy for Chris Brown.

The 19-year-old singer reportedly received a three-page text message from his manager, Tina Davis, asking him to hook up later. This text message is the one that triggered the fight between Brown and his girlfriend, Rihanna on Feb. 8.

It is rumoured Davis, who turns 40 this month, was romantically involved with Brown when he was only 16 years old.. Both parties deny this.

The detective's affidavit refers to the text message as being "from a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with."

Chanel goes plastic


According to Karl Lagerfeld, the best way to show off all your covetable accessories is in a plastic Chanel carrier/bag.

You can be the envy of those around you by flaunting your sunglasses, signature scent, favourite lip colour, iPod, and that gorgeous 2.55 bag, all Chanel, of course, and compacted neatly.

To top it all off, your carrier has the signature chain strap to emphasize its Chanel glory.

Brilliant!
