Olga Kurylenko Centurion



Beautiful Olga Kurylenko is not saying one word...

...in her new movie Centurion! Set during the Roman invasion of Britain in AD 117, the movie details the story of Centurion Quintus Dias (Michael Fassbender) and a Roman army battling against the native Picts, who are led among others by ferocious Etain played by Olga Kurylenko.



The gorgeous Ukrainian actress has her hair caked in mud, her face covered with war paint, and her tongue cut out. Yes, Olga Kurylenko does not have a speaking role in Centurion! But even more amazing the former lingerie model does not get a chance to reveal her beautiful side in the movie, and the Centurion's love interest is another Pict warrior Arianne, played by Imogen Poots.



Olga Kurylenko in the August 2010 issue of Hello (Russia). Badass characters are not new to her....as a bond girl Olga Kurylenko kept her clothes on and did not even make out with 007, as most other Bond girls have done.

Olga is currently filming Land of Oblivion/La Terre Outragée on the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986. Born in 1979, Olga has hazy memories of the nuclear accident: "On the Chernobyl disaster, I know little. When a nuclear power station exploded, I was six years old. All the memories have faded." Land of Oblivion is being filmed in Ukraine in 3 languages: Ukrainian, French and Russian. It is scheduled to premiere on April 26, 2011 - 25 years since the catastrophe.



Olga Kurylenko in the August 2010 issue of Complex magazine. As a former ballet dancer Olga says she was fit and flexible enough for the action scenes of Centurion: "I don't know if I can really kick ass. I'd only know if I found myself in a situation where I had to do it. I know that I'm pretty good at fighting because I did dancing when I was a kid, so I'm quite flexible."

Rachel Bilson single again



Rachel Bilson in a Juicy Couture top and bell-bottom jeans picking up supplies at a Costco store in Los Feliz, California.

The actress who was dating Hayden Christensen since the two acted together in the 2008 movie Jumper, has broken off her engagement with him. According to People magazine, distance was reportedly one of the main reasons for the split and Rachel will now be focusing on her work. Her upcoming movies include Waiting for Forever with Nikki Blonsky and Blythe Danner, due out later this year, and New York, I Love You releasing next month. In this movie Bilson will costar with her ex Hayden, and stars like Orlando Bloom, Shia Labeouf, Bradley Cooper and Blake lively.



Rachel Bilson looking pretty in the September 2010 issue of Instyle UK, wearing a blue wool dress by Hakaan at Harvey Nichols, and leather peep-toes by Rupert Sanderson. Talking to the magazine about her favorite labels and sense of style Rachel Bilson said: "Rag & Bone — I love their shoes! I always go to Isabel Marant whenever I am in Paris and Vanessa Bruno. I love finding stuff that is less known, you know? But then there are the classics. I am a Chanel girl until I die. I have a real Chanel wedding dream wish. I guess a girl can dream."

Rachel Bilson became popular as Summer Roberts in the long-running TV show The OC and says: "I do miss Summer terribly. The OC was the most phenomenal time. I saw Mischa at Cannes, but I miss everyone from the show." Rachel has since appeared as a guest star on TV shows like Chuck and How I Met You Mother; she will reprise her role of graduate student Cindy in the latter show this September.



Rachel Bilson in workout clothes going for a brisk walk. Rachel told Seventeen Magazine, "I like Yoga and I do it every so often. Walking my dog and going for walks -- it's a good thing." The actress who will turn 29 on 25 August, does not like the obsession with the weight and body image of celebrities because of the wrong message it sends to young girls: "It's not what young girls should be stressing about. They look up these actresses and read about plastic surgery and what they do and don't eat." Easy for her to say! The 5'2" tall Rachel Bilson has always been naturally slim and yet does not forget to workout. I think it's good for girls to workout and be mindful of what they eat, because obesity has become an epidemic from all our junk food and lack of exercise. Is it wrong to seek inspiration and advice from celebrity icons?

Isabeli Fontana posted a picture on Twitter where she's buying lingerie at a C&A store. But in a more major buying drive the Victoria's Secret model recently bought Donald Trump Jr's $1.8 million apartment at Trump Place.

Isabeli Fontana came from a poor family but had the drive to start modeling from age 14 till she was earning big money. She got married at age 17 to a fellow model Álvaro Jacomossi and within two years gave birth to a son named Zion. Isabeli later divorced Jacomossi and married actor Henri Castelli in 2005, and gave birth to Lucas. Nowadays the beautiful Brazilian model can be seen dating the rapper/musician Marcelo Falcão.



Brazilian models Ana Beatriz Barros, Isabeli Fontana, and Caroline Ribeiro wearing C&A jeans for their Fall/Winter 2010 campaign.

Among her other youthful experiments were drugs and Isabeli said in an interview: "I wanted to try cocaine. I have no problem talking about it. There was a time when I wanted to understand what was just experimenting with drugs and marijuana. It's a different thing, which leaves you in another place, another state of mind. I am not against or in favor of drugs. I'm neutral in this matter."



Isabeli Fotnana on the cover of Italian Muse magazine. In an interview with Gloss magazine Fontana said her beauty secret is: "Sprinkle mineral water spray on the face to hydrate the skin." She likes songs by Martinho da Vila and says she hates to: "Drive. I get stressed out with the chaos of traffic and shocked by what people can do when they hide behind a steering wheel." Fontana loves animals and is interested in studying nutrition: "Because of my experience as a model, I researched a lot about healthy weight loss and fell in love with the subject."

Nina Dobrev



Nina Dobrev from the CW’s Vampire Diaries poses for InStyle magazine.

Nina and the cast of Vampire Diaries are already filming Season 2 of the show. In an interview Dobrev talked of her experience playing twin characters on the show: "Yeah, yeah. It's fun and challenging, but it's really awesome. I get to play two completely opposite, conflicting sort of... I get to play with myself, and it's really challenging having to do scenes with yourself."



Nina Dobrev attends the EW and SyFy party during Comic-Con 2010 at Hotel Solamar on July 24, 2010 in San Diego, California. "I love to come to Comic Con and people watch because everyone's dressed up all cool. It's like a second Halloween and they go all out." Nina paired a strapless French Connection Creole dress with a pair of Emiline Pumps from KG by Kurt Geiger.

Nina says she is glad that the show lets her keep her clothes on, unlike the other more racier vampire shows. "I'm very content with not being nude on national television - I enjoy True Blood myself and I watch the show but I'm happy that bra and underwear is as stripped down as I can get for the show." The 21-year old Canadian actress of Bulgarian heritage started out as a model and TV actress, becoming popular as teen mother Mia Jones on Degrassi: The Next Generation.



At the 2010 Teen Choice Awards, Nina Dobrev matches her sparkling white teeth to a sparkling white Alex Perry Spring 2010 RTW Carrie dress, with a wave pattern of blue bead work. Dobrev took home the award for Choice TV Actress in the Fantasy/Sci-Fi category.

The pretty actress is currently single and although people constantly hook her up with handsome co-stars Nina Dobrev tells Seventeen magazine: "To be completely honest, dating an actor is very complicated. There's a lot of vanity involved. And they're in their head, and they're kind of crazy. And you're always surrounded by beautiful people. I would prefer not to date an actor."



Nina Dobrev out jogging in comfortable workout clothing from Under Armour, including a Duplicity Sports Bra, Escape 3" short, and Heatgear longsleeve T with Compression fit. Nina is 5'6.5" tall and was a competitive gymnast in school; she enjoys playing all kinds of sports and watersports.

Julia Saner career launch



After winning the Elite Model Look World Finals 2009, Julia Saner from Switzerland has begun her international modeling career. Here Julia Saner made her red carpet debut at this year's Cannes Film Festival dressed in a Roberto Cavalli gown.



Even an Elite Model Look winner has to go through the grind of high fashion and commercial modeling like every other model. Here Julia Saner models Beldona lingerie; she has also walked the runway at Beldona Fashion night and other fashion shows in Switzerland. Such local shows will be the base from which her international career is launched. According to her manager Ursula Knecht, Julia Saner has already earned 300,000 francs in her two years as a model. Although in this figure the prize money for the Elite World finals is also included, yet Ursula says, "From autumn Julia will start working mainly in Paris, New York and London - and if everything goes smoothly, she will be earning a lot of money in the coming years."



Julia Saner at her home in Berne. She celebrated her 18th birthday on February 19 and also graduated from high school. Taking advantage of her rising fame a Swiss webmaster registered the domain names juliasaner.ch, julia-saner.ch, juliasaner.com and julia-saner.com, and was running dating and lingerie websites in those names. But these domain names were taken away and the registration fees returned to that guy. Now Julia's family is preparing to launch a proper website about her. But before all that Julia has made some holiday plans: "In early August I will travel with a good friend for a week to Ibiza."



Julia Saner poses with the football jerseys of her home team: the BSC Young Boys. She says her family has intimate links with the soccer club. Julia's father Albi Saner was a sports commentator and used to take her to their games as a child, while a former BSC Young Boys player Martin Weber is the godfather of Julia's 14-year old brother Rafael. In the current squad Julia Saner says her favorite player is Mario Raimondi.

Her only requirement for a potential boyfriend is that he should be as tall as her....Julia is 5'11.5". Denying that she starves herself to be skinny, Julia Saner told SI Style, "I eat well and I eat everything. Especially pasta and salad made by my mother. Personally, I hardly cook."

And as for her hobbies Julia says, "I play piano, jog, do Pilates and was into tap dancing until recently. I am creative, take pictures and paint. In school I studied Visual Design."



Julia Saner in SI Style wearing an asymmetric knotted Prada top with short sleeves, with a Lanvin ring and a crown of artificial pearls and colored glass crystals. Talking of her favorite designer labels Julia Saner said, "My budget is not big, so I shop at H&M, Zara and Vero Moda. On the catwalk, I most like to wear dresses by John Galliano. He stages his fashion shows like a freaky show in a theater."

Eva Green



Bond girl Eva Green from Casino Royale will play 20th century opera legend Maria Callas in a new biopic. Eva is also filming the American TV series Camelot, based on the legend of King Arthur, where she plays the part of Morgana.



Eva Green played a gorgeous and sophisticated semi-lesbian teacher at a girls boarding school in the 1930s set movie Crack, which was screened at the GAZE film festival in Ireland last week. "I love period movies," Green told Vogue UK. "Miss G [the teacher] is very modern so I wore a lot of trousers, loose high-waisted styles, and lots of vibrant Oriental colours. It's so important that you have a good relationship with the costume department - it helps you create the character. Plus the costumes on this film were really flattering; they made me feel really thin!"

The French actress took part in a threesome in her very first movie role, the 2003 political drama, The Dreamers! And though Eva Green is nonchalant about stripping for movie roles, she hates the out-of-context way that her nude photos are ogled over on Internet forums.

"Personally I like McQueen, Gaultier, something a bit weird," Eva Green says of her fashion sense. But for everyday wear Eva says, "When I'm not working I just like to be comfortable: I love black, nothing tight, no heels, no make-up - it's nice to be able to breathe!"
