Kate Upton: Beach Bunny Denim Dame


Just days away from walking down the aisle, Kim Kardashian made her way to the Vera Wang boutique with the family on Wednesday afternoon (August 17).

The E! reality star was joined by all of her female family members, as Kourtney and Khloe, as well as Krisr, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, all turned up for the dress checking session.

Tweeting about the family outing - which comes ahead of Kim's weekend wedding with fiance Kris Humphries - Kourtney wrote, "Last minute errands with @KimKardashian before her BIG DAY!!!!"

Meanwhile, the Kardashian gals are set to appear at a Sears "Kardashian Kollection" launch party later in the evening, as they continue to squeeze in business endeavors during the all-important wedding preparations.

Changing up her look by the day, Dianna Agron was back to her bright pink haido while spotted out and about in Los Angeles on Wednesday (August 17)

The Quinn Fabray actress was spotted toting a tray of green drinks from Erewhon natural foods after finishing up work on the set of "Glee". '

Speaking of the "Glee" set, Miss Agron recently revealed that co-star Lea Michele was responsible for saving her life from what could have been a devastating on-set accident.

"Lea saved me,” Dianna dished. “There was a slightly smaller stage (than usual) and fireworks which came down a little closer, almost on top of us and I couldn’t see. Lea’s like, ‘Get over here, you’re about to die!’ It was kind of serious. Now I always remember to look down once in a while.”

They're both well known around Tinseltown so it comes as surprise that both Ashley Greene and Anna Kendrick are honorees for the 2011 Spotlight Initiative Awards.

The award show takes place at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday, September 10 in the Roosevelt Room.

The official announcement reads: The Creative Coalition is pleased to announced that Ashley Greene (Butter, Twilight), Anna Kendrick (50/50, Up in the Air), David Paymer (Twixt, The American President), Morgan Spurlock (Comic Con: Episode IV – A Fan’s Hope, Super Size Me) and Roland Emmerich (Anonymous, 2012) have been named as honorees for the 2011 Spotlight Initiative Awards. The awards will be bestowed to honorees during te upcoming Toronto International Film Festival.

Of this year’s event, Robin Bronk, the Creative Coalition CEO, said, “The range of work from this year’s honorees is a true testament to why we created the Spotlight Initiative Award.”

Once again proving herself as a major hottie, Rosie Huntington Whiteley is featured in the September 2011 issue of Maxim Australia magazine.

The “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” actress shows off some skin in the pictorial, including unpublished photos from the June issue feature.

And in the accompanying interview, Rosie shared her love/hate relationship with her famous voluptuous lips.

"The rest of my body requires a lot of upkeep but the lips are the one thing I don't have to work on. They're funny, because they change color with my mood. They get really, really red when I'm passionate and pale when I'm miserable and tired. But I suppose everyone else's do too.

"They have a life of their own. They get me in trouble. You know mood rings? I've got mood lips."

She just keeps expanding her horizons, and Leighton Meester's latest gig is as the face of Vera Wang’s new fragrance Lovestruck.

The “Gossip Girl” hottie recently filmed a new commercial for the scent, looking fabulous in a maroon gown made by Ms. Wang especially for the occasion.

Leighton told press, "The concept is really cool, it's like a modern day Romeo and Juliet and it's very much about that rush you feel when you're lovestruck, so that definitely speaks to me.”

"It's really an honor to be picked by this campaign. I admire Vera so much ... she really has a great eye for what women want and her style is so iconic and classic yet modern, so I think it speaks to women of all ages, myself included, so I'm really excited about it."



They haven't talked in over two decades, but Kendra Wilkinson's father is still concerned about his daughter's safety.

According to RadarOnline (via Star magazine), the reality star's dad, Eric Wilkinson, has been tormented by violence and threats of unrelenting attacks for over five years.

Eric, a multi-millionaire who resides in Costa Rica, has taken to the press to speak out against criminals that pinpoint people like himself, even though doing so could pout him at higher risk.

Wilkinson first explained the torment last year, telling a foreign newspaper, “The police have told me that they are also scared [to] arrest some of these criminals, as they and their families’ lives are being threatened."

He further explained his own experience with the violent attacks, as he told, “My wife was sitting in the living room…when she saw a man climb over our 10-foot wall into our yard. By the time I got downstairs, he had attacked her and was fleeing. I have personally been threatened that if I filed a [criminal complaint], they would kill me and my family."

Despite the nearly non-existent relationship between Kendra and Eric, he says he still worries over about her well-being, saying, “Security for your family is a basic human right in any country."

With plenty of successful years under his belt, Leonardo DiCaprio recently treated himself to quite the luxurious new ride.

The “Inception” star was spotted driving his new 2012 Fisker Karma in Los Angeles, CA on Wednesday (August 17).

While the vehicle looks oh-so-swanky, it actually is a plug-in hybrid with a range of 300 miles fully charged and, if operated in stealth mode (battery mode), the driver can get up to 100 miles per gallon.

In 2009, the Fisker Karma became the first electric vehicle to be named a North American Production Preview Vehicle of the Year by the North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards.

Showing off her posing prowess, Kate Upton is featured in a new photo shoot for the Beach Bunny Denim Collection 2011.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit super-hottie appears in a variety of looks from the designer, from denim cutoff shorts to capris and fabulous tops.

Kate has some history with the Beach Bunny company, both as a model and as a designer, as she will release her first collection of Kate Upton for Beach Bunny in early 2012.

Upton told press, “Beach Bunny is my favorite swimsuit line out there and to be able to design for them is a dream come true. I love all the embellishments and especially the lingerie details because they make you feel so sexy.”
