Kellan Lutz's Muscle Beach Workout


Besides being a major movie star, Tom Felton is also an avid musician, and yesterday (August 28) he was spotted toting his guitar around Toronto, Canada.

The “Harry Potter” hunk carried his six-string out of his hotel and headed off to the 2011 FanExpo held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

On Friday (August 26) Tom was ready to show some love to his fans at the FanExpo, seated eagerly at the autograph table with a Sharpie in his hand.

Prior to his arrival, Mr. Felton shared his enthusiasm via Twitter- “good morning toronto! today’s going to be a good day!”

Switching gears from movie star to guitar god, Jackson Rathbone was spotted rocking out with his band 100 Monkeys in Las Vegas on Friday night (August 26).

The “Twilight Saga: New Moon” stud looked intense as he strapped on his Gibson Les Paul Standard and stomped on his array of boutique effects pedals while singing his heart out.

Jackson and the rest of the crew were jamming for a good cause- the Flightlinez Fundraiser raised money for the Fender Music Foundation.

All proceeds from the gig went to a grant created by Fender to help provide equipment and instruction for Las Vegas music programs.

Showing off her sweet yet sexy style, Emma Roberts arrived at the House of Hype’s 2011 MTV Video Music Awards after party held at the SLS Hotel in Los Angeles, California last night (August 28).

The "Art of Getting By" actress kept it simple in all-black garb, pairing her ruby red lipstick with a long-sleeve dress, sparkling clutch and platform leather sandals while she posed for nearby photogs.

As for her plans for the future, Emma has revealed an exciting new chapter in her life, telling press that she's ready to head back to school!

“I’m leaving for New York tomorrow to attend my very first semester of college" the 20-year-old dished, adding, "I’m studying English literature and couldn’t be more excited!”

Taking advantage of a lovely Sunday afternoon, Ashlee Simpson was spotted at the Melrose flea market in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday (August 28).

The “Pieces of Me” singer was joined by a group of friends as they perused the market and checked out all of the vintage goods.

The sighting comes as it was reported last week that Ms Simpson had one too many and drunk-dialed ex-husband Pete Wentz to tell him that she missed him.

Her rep denied the call ever happened, but a source told UsWeekly that Ashlee misses him and said she wanted him back.

Enjoying some fresh air and sunshine, Gerard Butler was spotted at the beach in Malibu yesterday afternoon (August 28).

Joined by his adorable little pug puppy Lolita, the “PS I Love You” hunk chatted on his mobile phone as he strolled along the sand.

The day before (August 27) Gerard was out and about with Lolita again, this time picking up some caffeinated creations at Starbucks coffeehouse.

And on Friday, Mr. Butler enlisted the help of two surfing instructors as he attempted to catch a wave in Malibu’s beautiful waters.

Keeping up on her regular workout regimen, Hilary Duff was spotted hitting the gym in Los Angeles, CA on Monday (August 29).

The “Beauty and the Briefcase” star and a gal pal looked ready to sweat as they headed inside the local exercise facility.

In other news, it's being reported that Miss Duff received a $100,000 payout after being dumped from the upcoming “Bonnie and Clyde” film when she announced her pregnancy earlier this month.

A clause in her “play-or-pay” contract apparently secured the money for Duff, as she’s already given press for the movie.

As the season opener of “Two and a Half Men” draws near, Jon Cryer opened about Charlie Sheen's character’s exit from the show.

The Alan Harper actor told Entertainment Weekly that Sheen’s character will not simply go away after his tragic death on the season premiere.

“The history of the show does not go away at all,” Cryer said. “It will be dealt with all through the first season. It’s not, ‘Oh, that character’s gone, let’s forget completely about him.’ There will be ramifications all through the season.”

As for Ashton Kutcher's new character, Jon told, “I can only say my character ends up being the more romantically experienced one of the two of them. So Alan becomes sort of a mentor character to Ashton’s character. And as bad as an idea as that sounds, it’s just as bad on the show — I’m a terrible mentor.”

After suffering through and recovering from a serious eating disorder, Demi Lovato strutted her stuff at last night's MTV VMAs, but sadly had to deal with some hurtful tweets regarding her weight.

The “Sonny with a Chance” star was being ridiculed by haters for gaining a couple of extra pounds - to which she responded, “I've gained weight. Get over it. That's what happens when you get out of treatment for AN EATING DISORDER."

Awhile later, Ms Lovato deleted that tweet and replace it with, "Guess what, I'm healthy and happy, and if you're hating on my weight you obviously aren't."

Hopefully the negative comments weren't taken to heart, because Demi looked absolutely stunning!

She certainly knows how to make an entrance, and Beyonce Knowles had all eyes on her at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards tonight (August 28).

The “Crazy in Love” songstress brought her fashion A-game as she posed inside the Nokia Theatre LA Live to prepare for her big performance, but the BIG news is the confirmation that she's expecting her first child with Jay-Z!

Quite the exciting time for Beyonce, the gorgeous singer's baby news comes shortly after she released her music video for “1+1” from her latest album 4.

Additionally, coming up on October 8th, Knowles will join in via satellite for the Michael Jackson tribute concert at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

Having made their love for one another official on Saturday (August 27), Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars' wedding day pictures offer a glimpse of the newlyweds partaking in their cherishing moment.

The couple tied the knot at the historic Palazzo Margherita in Bernalda, Italy, with the "Lost In Translation" director looking stunning in a lavender Azzedine Alaia gown while being walked down the aisle by her famous father, Francis Ford Coppola.

As for the ceremony, it was officiated by Bernalda's mayor, Leonardo Chiruzzi, who told press after the festivities, "Everything went well. It was simple, calm, in the garden."

Just one day prior to exchanging vows, Sofia and Thomas were all about relaxation - as they spent the afternoon lounging on the sandy Italian beaches with their darling daughters, Romy, 4½, and Cosima, 15 months.

Making the most of her time in Italy, Bar Refaeli was spotted sunning herself in a stunning blue bikini yesterday afternoon (August 28).

The Israeli supermodel pranced around the Kauris III luxury yacht off the coast of Portofino while eager paparazzi snapped up pictures.

Bar bathed in the sea and played volleyball along with some friends who had come along for the ride (and the view!).

During her Mediterranean tour, Ms. Refaeli has been keeping her Twitter followers up-to-date on her festivities, including “belly dancing in Greece or at least trying to.”

She's one of the many east coasters dealing with the effects of Hurricane Irene, and Bethenny Frankel seemingly let the major storm system get the best of her.

Unable to sleep through the nasty conditions, the Skinnygirl mogul began her Twitter tear at 3AM by writing, "I can't sleep. So nervous. The wind is so loud outside.what's the update?tv will wake everyone."

An hour later, Miss Frankel disregarded her sleeping husband and baby, as she continued, "I can't believe how scary this is.now watching the news with my jaw dropped.more&more evacuations&more state of emergencies. Brace yourselves NEW YORK.Irene is on her way now."

The "Bethenny Ever After" star's anxiety reached its peak at around 7:30AM, as she tweeted, "We just lost electricity.this b**ch is coming.jason is oblivious.3 naps yesterday,slept all night,no prep.hurricane bethenny also here."

In the following hours, Bethenny posted a series of photos including one of herself looking quite unkempt along with numerous shots from her home and neighborhood, with her latest message reading, "I wanted to wash&dry my hair yesterday &jason thought I was nuts.now the new hairstyle is hurricane bethenny.jen aniston is so jealous."

Along with Frankel, numerous fellow celebs were active on Twitter while sending well-wishes and personal experiences via Twitter. A few of the many postings are as follows:

Ivanka Trump Majors wind and big waves in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. How are you faring through #Irene? Be safe! #hurricane

Nick Jonas So much hype about #Irene will be interesting to see this all plays out. Everyone stay safe.

Kourtney Kardashian More powerful prayers for the east coast. Don't forget how powerful prayer can be!

Adam Lambert East coasters: stay safe and smart while this storm rolls in. :) in my thoughts.

Taking his workout to the beach, Kellan Lutz was spotted out with a trainer on Muscle Beach in Venice, CA on Monday (August 29).

The “Twilight” hunk jammed to his iPod while partaking in the circuit training exercise session - making sure to take several water breaks to stay hydrated.

Branching out from the Hollywood scene, Kellan celebrated the launch of his new clothing line called Abbott & Main in Las Vegas over the weekend.

Of the new gig, Lutz told press, "I love to create. I’ve always wanted to get into fashion. I’ve always liked drawing, not Space Age stuff but high fashion."
