Looking for a way to bring spring’s popular posie-print denim into the summer season, we spotted three chic ladies who paired their floral jeans with crisp, clean tops. Stacy Keibler worked her rainbow-bright 7 For All Mankind florals with a white tank, Ashley Greene matched forget-me-not J Brand jeans with a sleeveless colorblock top, and Katy Perry paired her flowery Alice + Olivia denim with a black Peter Pan-collared button-up. If you’re trying the look yourself, go for a neutral tank like these ladies so your bold bottoms get all the attention. Click through to see how more celebrities styled their floral denim, and get inspiration for yourself.

Whether you color your hair, blow-dry or you’re heavy-handed with a flat-iron, the result can be tired and stressed out locks. (Especially in the summer, too!) Luckily, Emily Blunt filled us in on her quick fix for over-processed hair: Moroccanoil’s Intense Hydrating Mask. ”My hair has been damaged so much by color, and this mask has recovered it,” she told us. “Sometimes I sleep with it in my hair.” We need this, stat!

There are more pretty, pretty princesses on the way for Once Upon a Time! ABC just announced two more classic royals who will join the show’s second season: Sucker Punch’s Jamie Chung will play Mulan and The Tudors’s Sarah Bolger will star as Sleeping Beauty (a.k.a. Princess Aurora). Though little is known about Chung’s Mulan subplot, we’ve already seen Maleficent in the first season (played by Kristin Bauer van Straten), so we’re guessing she’ll go head-to-head with Bolger’s Aurora. Tune into Once Upon a Time Sunday nights on ABC when it returns this fall. And long live the TV princesses!

Kelly Ripa’s Guest Host Photos: Who Should Fill the Empty Chair?

Jul 6, 2012 @ 2:00 pm

Live! with Kelly may become Live! with Kelly and Seth! Funnyman Seth Meyers is the frontrunner to fill Regis Philbin‘s empty seat next to Kelly Ripa, Showbiz 411 reports. The comedian, who has guest co-hosted the program with Ripa before, is set to begin a five day hosting gig on Monday, July 9th, which some see as a trial run before a final decision is made later this year. Other candidates vying for the gig include former New York Giant Michael Strahan and singer Josh Groban. And they’re not the only recent guest co-hosts who have charmed The Rip lately. See more of Live!’s guest anchors in the gallery, and tell us, who do you think should fill Regis Philbin’s spot?
