Lily Collins Talks Movie-Making with ASOS


She’s lighting up theater screens all over the nation in her new movie “The Help,” and Bryce Dallas Howard has also scored a gig with Kate Spade New York.

The “Twilight Saga: New Moon” babe will be featured in the label’s new campaign to launch two flagship boutiques in London in September.

Kate Spade New York creative director Deborah Lloyd told press she’s pumped to be bringing such style across the pond to her homeland.

"As a Brit, I am thrilled to be opening two kate spade new york stores in London! We are in an amazing expansion mode right now, with openings around the world, and [...] I am eager to find out how the ever stylish London girls will work kate spade new york pieces into their look."

Adding another gig to her expanding resume, Olivia Munn is joining the cast of “Magic Mike.”

The model-turned-actress is negotiating to play the role of Amber, who happens to be the love interest to Magic Mike, played by the hunky Channing Tatum.

The film is based on Channing’s real-life experiences as a stripper at the age of 19 in Tampa, FL.

Other big names gracing the movie’s cast include Alex Pettyfer, Matthew McConaughey, Matt Bomer, Riley Keough, Cody Horm and Gabriel Iglesias.

With their relationship moving full steam ahead, Jennifer Aniston was alongside boyfriend Justin Theroux for a doctor's appointment in Beverly Hills, CA on Wednesday (August 31).

The former "Friends" star sucked on a fresh lollipop as she hopped into the passenger seat of her car while her actor beau followed closely along after the midday checkup.

The outing comes just as Miss Aniston's new TV effort "Project Five" released its trailer - with the Lifetime backed feature set to air on October 10th.

"Project Five" is a combination of five stories of lives connected and affected by cancer, with big names such as Demi Moore and Alicia Keys also partaking.

She just keeps churning out pure hotness, and Adriana Lima is stellar in the new photos from Victoria’s Secret.

The 30-year-old Brazilian babe works her magic in the new images, showing off the brand new Showstopper Bra collection.

Adriana told press, “It shows nothing but your shape and provides no-show coverage right where you need it.”

As for her favorite clothes to wear on top of her Victoria’s Secret lingerie, Ms. Lima confessed, “I love Dolce & Gabbana dresses.”

Getting on with post-prison life, VH1 has announced plans for a 10-episode reality show series starring T.I..

Having been granted release from an Arkansas penitentiary earlier today (August 31), the Grammy Award-winning rapper is set to give fans a "behind the scenes look" as he reunites "with his wife and kids and thrust back into society at this crucial juncture in his life."

Now a free man, the series will follow the "Whatever You Like" artist as he works to get back on track and begins recording a new studio album in an effort to return to the music scene.

T.I. served an 11-month stint in the slammer on a weapons violation charge he incurred back in October 2010.

It's been just two weeks since she gave birth to her precious daughter Haven, but Jessica Alba is already getting back into the swing of things.

Preparing for an afternoon meeting, the "Spy Kids" actress - wearing a striped gray top, flowing black dress and gladiator sandals - was spotted at a Los Angeles, California office building earlier today (August 31).

After finishing up her work duties, the 30-year-old met up with her nanny and eldest daughter Honor Marie with the trio popping into a local cafe so that Miss Alba could get a java boost.

Looking return to her fitness routine, as well, Jessica tweeted post-baby progress yesterday, writing, "I did my first day of wrkout since I had the baby, just cardio for 40 min. -it's a start. Anyone else starting a fitness regimen?"

While Miss Alba is ready to get back her pre-pregnancy physique, she say's she's taking it slow, as she added, "My doc told me I could start after 2 wks. - im going light, stationary bike and elliptical."

Keeping herself in tip-top shape with a midweek workout, Vanessa Hudgens stepped out for a yoga class in Studio City, CA on Wednesday (August 31).

The "Beastly" babe dutifully toted her mat under her arm while looking sporty in an all-black fitness ensemble complete with a "Yoga" ballcap.

Seemingly on a health-focused kick at the moment, Miss Hudgens spent the previous afternoon getting a little exercise with little sister Stella.

The two Hudgens ladies took to Fryman Canyon in Los Angeles, where they enjoyed quality bonding while hiking the grounds - though the duo also squeezed in time to satisfy their shopping urges with a stop at Maxine Boutique.

Arriving for another full workday, Blake Lively, Chace Crawford, and Leighton Meester were all spotted on the set of “Gossip Girl” in New York City on Wednesday afternoon (August 31).

The CW stars spent time in their personal trailers before emerging one by one to get more season four filming underway.

The sightings come as Miss Lively is just returned from joining current beau Leonardo DiCaprio in the Land Down Under - where the cute couple enjoyed a wildlife adventure at the Featherdale Wildlife Park.

Marketing manager, Kellie Ames, divulged some details about their visit, as she told E! News, "The pair seemed really happy in each other's company and there was no diva-like behavior from either of them. I think Blake especially enjoyed meeting the dingoes, and the baby wombat was a big hit, too.

Ames added, "[Leo] asked about our endangered animals, and we made sure to feed the Tasmanian devil while they were there."

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.

With another year's show come and gone, the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards offered up plenty of action while honoring the best in the music business.

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.

As she continues to make her mark on Hollywood, Lily Collins recently opened to the October 2011 issue of ASOS magazine about her latest happenings.

The ASOS cover gig comes as the 22-year-old beauty stars alongside “Twilight” hunk Taylor Lautner in the upcoming film “Abduction,” which hits theaters on September 23.

Of filming the action/drama flick, Collins told the mag, “I never thought in a million years I’d be doing stunts, flying off trains, setting people on fire, running through swamps at night, but it’s fun and I love taking chances.”

Meanwhile, Lily is currently filming a new take on the classic tale “Snow White” - of which she mentioned, “It is so surreal. Everyone calls me ‘Snow’ on-set and I’m working with Julia Roberts.”
