After walking the red carpet at the New York City premiere of We Bought a Zoo, co-stars Scarlett Johansson (in Dolce & Gabbana) and Elle Fanning (in Louis Vuitton) headed to the Royalton Holtel to kick up their heels at the after-party. If Johansson hadn’t pursued acting, what would she be doing now? “I probably would have been a doctor,” the actress told reporters. “I love everything having to do with medicine.” Click through to see Jessica Biel, Molly Sims and more stars at last night’s hottest parties!

Diane Von Furstenberg Collaborates on a Line of Brazilets!

Dec 13, 2011 @ 5:12 pm

At a mere $5, brazilets might be the easiest way to make your wishes come true! The brazilet is based on a 200-year old tradition from mystical Bahia, Brazil and is meant to be worn tied around the wrist in three knots—the wearer makes a wish associated with each knot and when the bracelet breaks and falls off, the wishes are supposed to come true. Fans of the Brazilets include stars like Anne Hathaway, Lauren Conrad and Kristen Stewart, and now Live Worldly, which makes the bracelets, has teamed up with Diane Von Furstenberg on a line featuring signature DVF phrases, like “Be the Woman You Want to Be.” Best yet, 20% of all the proceeds will be given to Plant a Billion Trees, which benefits the Brazilian rainforest when you buy them for $5 at liveworldly.com or Diane Von Furstenberg stores.

Introducing…The Nicki Minaj Barbie!

Dec 13, 2011 @ 2:33 pm

Since Nicki Minaj coined the term “Barbz” to refer to her loyal fans, it makes perfect sense that Mattel would honor the pop star with her very own Barbie! The toymaker stayed true to Minaj’s style with the one-of-a-kind doll—The Minajesty is dressed all in pink, and even features a long pink wig. But don’t expect to find Nicki’s Barbie in a Toys R Us near you. The doll is being auctioned off, through Charity Buzz to benefit Project Angel Food. Luckily, if Minaj’s Barbie replica is your absolute holiday must-have, visit charitybuzz.com and bid on the Minajesty now through December 19th. Which celebrity would you love to see made into a Barbie? Tell us in the comments!
