Minka Kelly: Charlie s Angels Chick


Making time for some pet owner duties, Blake Lively and her pooch Penny hit the streets of New York City on Friday (September 2).

The “Gossip Girl” actress chatted on her phone while her little dog decided to go to the bathroom right on the sidewalk.

Perhaps Blake is enjoying a day off; she spent most of her week filming scenes for the hit CW show.

As the fifth season draws near, all-new episodes of “Gossip Girl” premiere on Monday, September 26th at 8/7c on The CW.

Getting used to their new strenuous schedule, Kristin Cavallari and Elisabetta Canalis were spotted arriving for the “Dancing With the Stars” practice sessions on Friday (September 2).

The “Hills” gal looked cute in black leggings and a coral top as she smiled politely for the always-present paparazzi.

Meanwhile, George Clooney’s ex showed off her slim figure in Adidas workout pants and a sports bra as she happily emerged from her vehicle before disappearing inside the studio.

Last week Kristin texted former co-star, Audrina Patridge, for some “DWTS” advice to which Audrina replied, “You're going to have an amazing time! You'll be in the best shape of your life.”

She’s a draw everywhere she goes, so it comes as no surprise that Miranda Kerr caught the attention of quite a few as she headed into a mall in Mexico City on Friday (September 2).

The Victoria’s Secret babe looked lovely in a red dress and heels as she made her way into the Liverpool stores and happily signed autographs along the way.

Ms Kerr disappeared inside to partake in the filming of the latest commercial for Liverpool’s Department store.

Following in the footsteps of her fellow Angels, Bar Refaeli and Doutzen Kroes have both worked with the retailer in the past.

Bringing the event to a blockbuster end, the Tokyo International Film Festival just announced their selection for this year's closing film as Brad Pitt's "Moneyball."

The biography/drama - an adaption of the Michael Lewis book - tells the true story of "Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane's successful attempt to put together a baseball club on a budget by employing computer-generated analysis to draft his players."

In addition to Pitt's A-list prowess, the film also features co-stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright and Jonah Hill.

The Tokyo International Film Festival opens October 22, with "Moneyball" set to draw the final curtain of the event with an October 30th showing.

It’s an exciting day in New York City as the “Avenger” cast was spotted reporting for duty on Friday (September 2).

Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Robert Downey Jr, Stellan Skarsgard, Mark Ruffalo and Tom Hiddleston all arrived for a full day of work.

The crew looked to be enjoying themselves as they laughed and chatted in between filming which took place at the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park.

Set for a May 4, 2012 release, the action/sci-fi flick is an upcoming American superhero film produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures.

She is the most successful model in the world and Gisele Bundchen is featured in a brand new campaign for a lingerie collection called GB Intimates.

The Victoria’s Secret bombshell shows off her slim figure and long limbs in a preview of the 2011 campaign titles “Burlesque.”

It was revealed back in May at a fashion show in Sao Paulo, Brazil that Gisele would be the featured model for this year’s advertisements.

In related news, Bundchen’s recent involvement with US brand, Espirit, has “elevated” the clothing line’s sales.

She’s been hard at work creating her latest project, and Victoria Justice's “All I Want Is Everything” video was finally released!

The new jam is an upbeat tune that is featured on the “Victorious” soundtrack.

Joining the beautiful Justice is the rest of the Nickelodeon cast who have already created videos such as “Begging On Your Knees” and “Best Friend’s Brother.”

In case you’re wondering, the hottie Victoria is after in the video is a Santa Monica High School senior named Dean Stanland. What a cutie!

Making her way around the city, Kim Kardashian was spotted out and about in Manhattan earlier today (September 2).

The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” starlet donned a cute and casual tan-colored summer dress and pulled-back hairdo as she left her hotel.

And with her brother Rob looking to beat her 2-week run on “Dancing with the Stars,” Kim offered some words of encouragement.

“It’s hard and I don’t think he understands the hard work that’s gonna go into it. [He’s] getting a taste of it right now. I just hope that he really stays committed. Commit to his performance. That’s what I wish I did.”

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.

The big winners at the Nokia Theatre LA Live show on Sunday night (August 28) included Katy Perry as Video of the Year honoree for "Firework" while Lady Gaga nabbed Best Female Video for "Born This Way" and Justin Bieber's "U Smile" took home the Moonman for Best Male Video.

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.

Working away on the set of her new show, Minka Kelly was spotted filming scenes for “Charlie’s Angels” in Miami, FL on Friday (September 2).

The beautiful brunette mingled with her co-stars in between takes and even snagged a Krispy Kreme donut from fellow Angel, Annie Ilonzeh.

Showing off her fighting skills, a brand new clip featuring Minka in action was just released.

Kelly’s character ends up pulling a gun on her future partners-in-crime Rachel Taylor and Annie Ilonzeh when they try to sneak onto her house boat.

And when a helicopter carrying a sniper looms overhead, all three babes head for the sea. “Charlie’s Angels” hits ABC airwaves on September 22nd.
