Jaime King dons Burberry Prorsum



Cute actress and model Jaime King, her hair in a blunt cut bob, wearing a Burberry Prorsum Spring 2010 RTW Pale gold knotted dress at the ABC "My Generation" Rock the Roof event on June 23, 2010. My Generation is Jaime King's new show which focuses on a group of high school students who graduate in 2000 and are reunited in 2010.

Jaime told Entertainment Tonight: "Because the comedy comes out of the human struggle that they're all going through. We all have big dreams and we all have a vision of what we thought we were going to be in high school in ten years. And then you get to see ten years later what really happened to these people, and there's something very intriguing about that." The new show will premiere on ABC in the Fall.



Jaime King dons Burberry Prorsum again at the "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" premiere in LA the next day. With her side swept curls, Jaime King steps on the black carpet in her Burberry Cartrige T-bar platforms, and a beautiful Burberry Prorsum Spring 2010 blue drape dress. Jaime King's upcoming movies are the Rachel-Bilson romance Waiting For Forever and the thriller Mother's Day in which Jaime is pitted against Rebecca De Mornay in a girlfight.

JoJo Joanna Levesque reconnects



Cute singer and actress JoJo, real name Joanna Levesque, seems to have been flying below the radar the past two years. At age 13, JoJo was the youngest solo artist to have a No. 1 song on the Billboard charts, Leave (Get Out), released two music albums, and starred in movies like Aquamarine and RV. Now 19, JoJo reconnects with her fans through Twitter posting pictures (above) showing her support for the Boston Celtics.

For two years her music career was in limbo because of a contract dispute with her record label, which was finally sorted out in December 2009. Then, JoJo got into the prestigious Northeastern University in Boston, where she applied to study anthropology and international affairs. But she later clarified on Twitter that she was putting off her first year of college to work on her music career. By the way, JoJo is super active on her Twitter account, tweeting like a 100 times a day, and has more than 100,000 followers. Most of those tweets are about the Boston Celtics!



JoJo reconnects with her fans while performing at The Estate, 1 Boylston Place, in Boston on May 8 (Photo By Aram Boghosian). Levesque belted out songs from her upcoming album All I Want Is Everything. Joanna has also been going on international tours with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, and reconnecting with her global fans. Talking about the new album JoJo said, "My two most popular songs out aren't really club songs. So I have a couple different things going. We'll see where the energy takes us."

And talking about energy, young Miss Joanna Levesque has also been making guest blog posts on valentinamonte, dishing on her gym sessions, her favorite workout songs, and motivation for exercise: "I like to think of my workouts as preparing for war. Get energized. Get pissed. Hold grudges. Psyche yourself out. Get cocky. Say motivational phrases to yourself over and over again. Look at pictures of people’s bodies you admire. Listen to music that riles you up."



Joanna Levesque as a 17-year old in Seventeen magazine. JoJo always had a healthy body, telling Seventeen how she motivated herself to workout back then: "After exercising, I write down how good I feel. Then I read it later to remind myself that even if I'm not in the mood to move at first, I'll feel amazing once I'm done." And talking of her healthy food habits JoJo said: "I love yogurt with fresh fruit or granola for breakfast. It's sweet, super-good for me, and quick to eat as I run out the door!"



JoJo in her workout clothing; she photographed herself in the mirror, and is wearing a sports bra, sweats, and a Boston Celtics cap. I'm just gob-smacked at her flat and tight abs....she's such an inspiration for the rest of us!!

Miranda Cosgrove kissing her teen years goodbye



Cute Miranda Cosgrove kissing away her teen years. The tween icon from Nickelodeon's iCarly told People that she's prepping for the SATs and will be entering college either at USC or NYU. "I'm nervous. I've been going through it. I feel like I'm getting kind of ready. I'm almost ready."



Miranda Cosgrove performs at Nickelodeon's 23rd Annual Kids' Choice Awards held at UCLA Pauley Pavillion on March 24, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. Miranda turned 17 on May 14 and has been acting since she was a child; her other memorable shows were Drake & Josh and Zoey 101. Cosgrove also began singing songs on her TV shows, for movies like Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and recently released her solo album Sparks Fly.

Although most Americans get a driving license in their teen years, Miranda Cosgrove still doesn't have hers. "My parents have been trying to get me to get my license. I have no idea why I don't have it," Miranda tells People. "My dream car would be a Range Rover Sport – white with black tinted windows. But I will not end up with that. It's probably going to end up a [Toyota] Prius." All this time she was living with her parents in Los Angeles, all her friends are from elementary school, and for fun she likes shopping, going to the movies, and riding horses. But with college Cosgrove is preparing to say goodbye to all that, and maybe also her humdrum romantic life: "I go on dates all the time and I have guys that I really like, but I don't have a definite boyfriend."



Left, Miranda Cosgrove looks striking with her pull back hairstyle, the ruby red Versus dress by Versace, and the Christian Louboutin new simple pumps at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards. Right, the 5'5" tall Miranda Cosgrove poses at FOX 11's 'Good Day LA' on 31 May, 2010. She's wearing a pretty blue and black dress with Christian Louboutin Candy Stud Pumps. Talking about her fan base Miranda Cosgrove says, "My friends like it when 16-year-old boys who are fans approach me, but I always like the little kids." She may be entering her adult years soon, but Miranda Cosgrove will remain a tween and teen icon for a long time in the minds of her fans.

Emily Deschanel



Emily Deschanel is a classic beauty with an engaging smile, best known for her role as Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan on the FOX television series Bones. Here Emily is wearing a Max Azria dress at the Fox UpFront after party at Wollman Rink, New York, on May 17, 2010. The previous month Emily, who is also a producer on Bones, celebrated 100 episodes with the rest of the cast:



Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz at a Fox party to celebrate the 100th episode milestone for Bones. "In the 100th episode we came very close," Emily told E!Online about the possibility of her and David's character getting together. "And I think we keep moving forward."

As a young girl Emily Deschanel turned vegan and since then she promotes organic and environmentally sustainable lifestyles free from animal cruelty. "A few years ago I was able to visit Farm Sanctuary’s New York shelter — I had probably been vegan for over 10 years by then — and it was still a life-changing experience. You get to see all of these animals raised in factories and confined to crates and they're living free on this amazing property. There's just so much space for them to roam and they're treated so well," Emily said in an interview. Deschanel tries to wear clothes made from organic cotton, hemp, or vintage clothing, and even her makeup is organic.



5'9" tall Emily Deschanel looking pretty in a Max Azria dress, paired with black H&M shoes, at the 24th Genesis Awards in Beverly Hills, California, back in March. Though her sister Zooey Deschanel is married, Emily says, "I am so happy my parents never made me worry about finding a husband. My mother chose to get married and have children, but she raised my sister and I very much as modern women who don't need that in your life to be happy. Sometimes it does frustrate me that a lot of people assume you will get married and raise a family. You don't have to. But who knows? I may very well do both."

Irina Sheik loves football



Gorgeous Russian model Irina Sheik wearing a hat for sun protection, while modeling clothes for German fashion catalog Otto. Recently Irina has been in the news for spending time with football star Cristiano Ronaldo.

The two are said to have met while modeling for Armani in Italy. It's obvious that Ronaldo hit on her and sort of charmed her, and though I don't like the way he's treated women in the past, I think Irina can make the most out of this relationship. Just use Cristiano's fame in the football world to advance her own career....and be prepared for the eventual dumping when he gets his jollies from someone new.



The Russian models stays mostly in Italy and has an apartment in New York. Above, Jessica White and Irina Sheik at the Angel Wings Foundation Fundraiser Event at Georgica Restaurant & Lounge in New York, on May 30.

Irina Sheik has been a football fan longer than her love for Ronaldo. She supports the Russian national team obviously, but recently Irina was photographed watching Real Madrid football club playing against Osasuna. Cristiano Ronaldo plays for Real Madrid.



Irina Sheik wearing Valentino at the Inaugural Junior Spring Benefit for the Lincoln Center Institute at Private Park in Hudson, on May 10. In an interview with Modelinia Irina Sheik described her sense of style: "Sexy and simple, mixed. I like to mix styles and to wear clothes like a simple t-shirt H&M and a Chanel bag. I was coveting the black high-heeled Gucci boots from the new collection, finally I bought them and am very happy about that! Now I really want to purchase Dolce & Gabbana high knee boots and black jacket from Jil Sander."

2010 MTV Movie Awards fashion



Amanda Seyfried got the first ever "Best Scared-as-Sh*t Performance" for Jennifer's Body, at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles, on Sunday, June 6. The cute actress, pictured above backstage in her Stella McCartney modified lace dress with nude panels, said, "I had a great time making this movie even though not many saw it." The fashion this year was as good as the awards show:



"Don't look at me," Kristen Stewart seems to be saying. Wearing a Dolce & Gabbana brocade-tweed dress tied together with a waisted black belt, Kristen Stewart won the Best Female Performance for The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Meanwhile Katy Perry performed at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, but not before rocking the red carpet in a sparkly Zuhair Murad dress. Sadly the blue hair was a little too distracting!

Twilight won five awards, including for Best Kiss. "I guess the thing to do, is we're supposed to kiss each other. But to be perfectly honest with you it takes a lot of smoke and mirrors to make us look good at kissing... but we'll give it a shot," said Stewart. Then Robert Pattinson turned his back to the audience and "kissed" Kristen, leaving people guessing. Not about the kiss, but about whether the two Twilight stars are in a relationship or not.



Left, Nikki Reed looked cute in her white-bordered black Miu Miu frock, with pink and orange floral prints, and matching black Miu Miu sandals and a black satin clutch. Right, Eva Mendes came wearing a one-shouldered, silver and blue animal-print Stella McCartney frock, with gold ankle-strap sandals.



Vanessa Hudgens is girly cute in a tiered chiffon frock by Jenny Packham, with an embellished bodice. Her most visible accessory was cute as hell boyfriend Zac Efron.



The best looking women at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, both in beauty and fashion. Scarlett Johansson's beautifully curved body (currently kicking ass on screen in Iron Man 2) looks striking in a green Dolce & Gabbana lace dress, cinched at the waist with a thin black ribbon and black pumps. Scarlett looked so good that Sandra Bullock smooched her on stage....although this straight-girl-kissing-straight-girl thing is getting tiresome. Right, Jessica Biel (also kicking ass currently in The A Team) looks so pretty in Giambattista Valli! A sheer white polka-dot blouse, with a matching black embellished skirt, and sweet pink bow belt.

Kristen Stewart Eclipse



Kristen Stewart in Sydney, Australia, for the promotion of Eclipse, her new movie from the The Twilight Saga. Kristen looks pretty in a Jenni Kayne Spring 2010 yellow mini skirt with a black banded waist and back ruffle detail, with a Market Bridgette snoop neck tee, and Sergio Rossi Gstaad booties.



Kristen Stewart drops her sunglasses while boarding a jet boat for a Sydney Harbour joy ride on May 30. Even though her whole family is in show business, Kristen Stewart does not like all the attention from the paparazzi, and she told Elle magazine: "Once somebody finds out, you have to get the hell out of wherever you are. People freak out. And the photographers, they're vicious. They're mean. They're like thugs. I don't even want to drive around by myself anymore. It’s f**king dangerous."



Left, 5'6" tall Kristen Stewart wearing Armani shorts and silk satin halter top, Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquiere suede wedge shoes, and a Harry Winston South Sea pearl ring with diamonds, for the June 2010 issue of Elle magazine. Right, Kristen in a black taffeta asymmetrical Chanel Spring 2008 Couture dress with a transparent chiffon skirt, and Sergio Rossi heels, at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art's 2010 Costume Institute Ball on May 2, 2010 in New York City.

On her fashion tastes and red carpet events, Stewart told Elle UK: "Like when I have to talk to the Hollywood press, I have to put on a nice dress and a smile, but when I do this [magazine interview], I can just put on whatever. Then I have to go and do a talk show it's something else."



Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner promoting Eclipse in USA Today. While the whole world believes that Kristen is in a relationship with Robert, she refuses to speak about it. Stewart told Elle, "I would never cheapen my relationships by talking about them. People say, 'Just say who you're dating. Then people will stop being so ravenous about it.' It's like, No, they won't! They'll ask for specifics."

Malin Åkerman red carpet radiant



Malin Åkerman wearing a black-and-white deco dress by Temperley London at the Costume Institute Gala Benefit to celebrate the opening of the "American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity" exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 3, 2010 in New York City. Over the last couple of months the Sweden-born Canadian actress has looked particularly radiant and striking in all her red carpet appearances:



Left, Malin Akerman in a Miu Miu navy silk v-neck dress with a pleated skirt, at the New York premiere of her movie Elektra Luxx in April. Malin is carrying a navy velvet bow Miu Miu clutch, and has striking Miu Miu nude stone encrusted heels on her feet. Right, Akerman looks gorgeous in an Express gold one-shoulder bandage dress, while attending an Express sponsored show celebrating the launch of Rerock Denim at Tao Beach, 10 April 2010.

Malin Åkerman gave a list of her body flaws to Self magazine: "My feet are so wide, I have to get special shoes. And I have thin hair with cowlicks in the front that go all sorts of ways. And I have a boyish body. Quirkiness gives people character and charisma. I don't think it's beautiful when everyone starts looking like a Barbie doll. I'm a lover of natural individuality." She starred in a slew of romantic comedies like The Heartbreak Kid, 27 Dresses, The Proposal, and Couples Retreat. In 2009 Malin sculpted her body for the superhero flick Watchmen, with the help of trainer Logan Hood, doing CrossFit workout sessions of six hours a day.



Malin Akerman with Katy Perry at the seventh annual PS Arts Bag Lunch fundraiser on May 7, 2010. Katy Perry looking pretty in a printed sky-blue dress by Single, hosted the fundraiser which included a picnic, a DJ, and dozens of designer handbags sold to benefit the LA-based arts nonprofit. Malin Åkerman wore an Etro printed fuchsia dress paired with Etro's gladiator sandals.



The 5'7½" tall Malin Åkerman towers over 5'3" Kate Mara, as both girls pose on the red carpet at the Gen Art Film Festival premiere of their movie Happythankyoumoreplease at The Park in New York City, 7 April 2010. Kate Mara is wearing a Zac Posen Spring 2010 RTW Side Draped Cinched Dress paired with Brian Atwood pumps. Malin Akerman looks radiant in her Miu Miu Spring 2010 dress with orange crystal embellishments. The stunning Swede is carrying a matching orange Miu Miu Spring 2010 clutch and Miu Miu Round-Toe Lattice pumps. Malin's upcoming movies include The Bang Bang Club and Catch .44, and she can be seen in the TV show Childrens' Hospital.
