Khloe Kardashian in Gucci Sunglasses

The Kardashians can definitely be accused–and found guilty of–being famous for just being famous. Their filthy richness is attributed to multiple reality shows, opening their own retail stores, endorsement deals, and red carpet appearances. But the question remains, have any one of these K-Sis’ actually REALLY ever held a real job? Well the youngest of the trio can now say “yes.”  Khloe has just signed on as Dallas’ newest radio DJ. Talk about making herself right at home in the Lone Star state after her recent re-lo when NBA hubby Lamar Odom was traded from the L.A. Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks last month. This is actually Khlo Khlo’s second radio gig–she had a short stint on a weekly Miami radio program, Khloe After Dark, a few years back while she was living in the South Florida city to shoot one of her many (you guessed it) reality shows, Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami. “I have some very exciting news for you,” I’m returning to radio!!!!!!,” she posted on her blog last week. “I’ll be joining the team at Mix 102.9 every day from 12-1pm CST for my very own show, The Mix Up with Khloe, and I could not be more thrilled about it!”

And no time will be wasted for her debut, she’s slated to report for duty at the Clear Channel-owned station on Monday. Now we all thought Khloe would NEVER plant any kind of roots in Dallas with her family, posse, and top-notch shopping back in L.A.  We assumed she’d be splitting her time between the two cities, popping down to Dallas when Lamar had a game. But now with an actual job she has to go to every day, we totally get her loyalty and commitment to staying by her man’s side. Here she also remains loyal to her fabulousness in these insanely posh zipper-detailed stiletto boots and stylish rectangle-framed Gucci sunglasses.  –rpuccia

Kristin Cavallari in Ray Ban Sunglasses

Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler have had a very public, roller coaster relationship…engaged–not engaged–engaged again. Now the gorgeous couple is hitting a new high – they’re expecting their first child! The former Hills star and NFL quarterback confirmed the news to People magazine last weekend. “We are thrilled to announce we are expecting our first child together,” Kristin and Jay told People in a joint statement. “It’s an amazing time in our life and we can’t wait to meet the new addition to our growing family.”

Kristin, having announced a couple months ago in November that she and Jay’s engagement was back on after a four month hiatus, has steadfastly tweeted, “This time its official…” and boy was she right. The pair–who were introduced by E! News host Giuliana Rancic in 2010–are jumping into their “surprise” pregnancy with all feet in–especially since this Chicago Bears QB has been out of commission for the team’s last six games with a  broken thumb. “She is really happy. She is in the early stages, but she can’t wait to be a mom,” a source told Us Weekly of the mom-to-be. And let’s not overlook that Kristin is going to be one chic mama! Here she’s wearing super sexy skinny jeans (enjoy it while you can!), a beige blouse, platform sandals, and cool Ray Ban aviators.  –rpuccia

Heidi Klum in Chloe Sunglasses

With so many “frivilous” break-ups in Hollywood as of late, it can be refreshing to think that enviable power couples like Seal and Heidi Klum could have some staying power. NOT! The pair who seemed the unlikeliest to call it quits have, in fact, just announced that their marriage is coming to an end. In a statement Sunday night, the couple announced their separation after rumors ran rampant over the weekend that a divorce was on the docket. “While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul searching we have decided to separate,” the joint statement read. “We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart.” The statement went on to say the split is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of their children remains the top priority.

The couple married in 2005 and has four children together, including the supermodel’s daughter from a previous relationship. They were one of Hollywood’s most high-profile couples and seemed to have a rock-solid relationship, even renewing their wedding vows on each anniversary. “It’s true and it’s a sad end to the fairytale,” sources told Access Hollywood. Well, we can be sure that Heidi will be the picture of class and style through the difficult process, as she shows here in these fab Chloe shades, available in three frame hues. –rpuccia

Olivia Wilde in Chic Oversized Purple-Hued Sunglasses

Photo: Splash News

Actress Olivia Wilde is certainly kicking off 2012 with a bang! She’s got a new man and a new ‘do! The former House M.D. star and her new beau, Saturday Night Live funny guy (and quite the unassuming ladies’ man) Jason Sudeikis, have been seen stepping out together several times over the last couple of weeks and packing on some serious PDA. Lately, the two have been practically inseparable as they recently hit a post-”SNL” bash, caught a University of Kansas basketball game, strolled in NYC, and more.

But the even bigger change for Olivia is her new shorter and lighter locks. Last Wednesday she was spotted leaving the Andy LeCompte Salon in West Hollywood with the new tresses, having traded in her signature long, luscious locks for wavy, shoulder-length strands in an ombre hue. She did, however keep her long bangs. Though we all know Olivia would look hot with any hairstyle, this one is decidedly less severe and “girl-next-door” than her previous hair style. You could also say she looks younger and more refreshed–like she’s ready to embark on a new chapter in her life–especially after last year’s split with her husband of seven years, Italian filmmaker Tao Ruspoli. Lovin’ the new ‘do and her chic oversized, purpled-hued shades. –rpuccia

Halle Berry in Ray Ban Sunglasses

Photo: Coolspotters.com

The holidays saw a plethora of celeb engagements–Justin and Jessica, Matthew and Camilla, Drew and Will. And let’s not forget Halle and Olivier. Halle may be 0 for 3, but that’s not stopping her from taking the plunge again. Let’s recap: She wed former baseball player David Justice in 1993 and divorced four years later. She then married R&B singer Eric Benet in 2001 and divorced in 2005. And she dated model Gabriel Aubry for nearly five years, with whom she has a 3-year-old daughter, Nahla, before splitting in April 2010.

Third time could  be the charm for Halle in fiance and French actor Olivier Martinez. She met hunky Olivier while working on the film Dark Tide and they stepped out as a couple in fall 2010. His most memorable role would have to be that of  Paul Martel in the steamy 2002 film Unfaithful opposite Diane Lane (pass the drool bib, please.). He previously dated Australian pop star Kylie Minogue for several years before splitting in 2007. A source told Us Mag Halle “had given up on being married, but she trusts Olivier. He makes her feel safe. He’s a keeper!” Olivier proposed with an emerald-and-diamond ring from Gurhan. A keeper indeed, as are Halle’s relentlessly chic style choices, like these cool and classic Ray Ban aviators which come in a bazillion frame/lens color combos. –rpuccia

Demi Moore in Carrera Sunglasses

Demi Moore has plenty to think about with the scandalous end to her marriage from Ashton Kutcher, thereby, de-throning her as the the queen of the cougars. But the media can’t leave well enough alone and began focusing on something other than Ashton’s reported infidelities–her “painfully” thinning physique. In the February issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Demi admits that, indeed, she is thinner than usual lately, but who can blame her due to the circumstances. However, she’s apparently accepted how she looks, even if the public hasn’t, telling the mag, “that includes not just my weight but all of the things that come with your changing body as you age …” She says people are actually telling her “You’re too thin, and you don’t look good.” Like many women, getting to a state of “acceptance” about her body image wasn’t easy. “I have had a love-hate relationship with my body,” she explains.

Demi also (sort of) addresses her split in the interview. “I used to think that what scared me was the idea of being abandoned until someone said to me, ‘Only children can be abandoned. Adults can’t be abandoned because we have a choice.’” She says she dug deeper to understand what really scares her. “I think what scares me is not having the courage to reach my full potential.” And with three failed marriages behind her, she reveals her greatest fear : ultimately finding out that “I’m really not lovable, that I’m not worthy of being loved…That there’s something fundamentally wrong with me.” Don’t by into Demi, you’re truly FAB, especially in boyfriend jeans, strappy boots, and these cool Carrera aviators.  –rpuccia

Beyonce in Persol Sunglasses

Beyonce and Jay-Z got a fantastic start to 2012 with the birth of their baby girl, Blue Ivy. Beyonce gave birth at NYC’s Lenox Hill Hospital on Saturday via C-section, apparently in the super-star-style she’s become all too accustomed to. According to various sources, the proud new parents pulled out all the stops to make sure they welcomed their new baby girl in high style, reportedly shelling out a whopping $1.3 million to take over a swanky, newly renovated suite–and according to some reports an entire floor –of Lenox Hospital. What’s more, when Beyonce checked in — under the pseudonym Ingrid Jackson — her diva-ish demands included a full-scale security team, hospital staffers being forced to turn over their cell phones (to avoid any unauthorized picture snapping), and the lenses of the floor’s security cameras being covered with tape. Can’t say this royal couple didn’t cover ALL the bases.

Their star-powered friends also came out in droves on Twitter to offer congrats including Gwyneth Paltrow, Rihanna and Russell Simmons. According to GMA, the couple chose “Ivy” because of the significance of the number “4″ or “IV,” —  Beyonce and Jay-Z were born on Sept. 4 and Dec. 4, respectively, were married on April 4, 2008, and Beyonce’s latest album is entitled 4. Bet it won’t be long before Beyonce is back to her svelte “fighting weight” as she is here in true diva style donning these Persol shades.  –rpuccia

Elizabeth Banks in Prada Sunglasses

Actress Elizabeth Banks says that the “high” fashion spreads we often see movie stars posing in weren’t always her thing. “I was kind of late to the party,” she reveals in the February issue of Lucky mag. “I mean, I have always appreciated fashion. But I’m a girl who loves a bargain. I’ll shop at Forever 21 and H&M.” Nowadays, however, as she transitions from the funny, small parts in flicks like The 40-Year-Old Virgin to leading lady in films like her latest crime thriller Man on a Ledge–opening in theaters January 27– or the highly-anticipated sci-fi drama The Hunger Games, we’re more likely to see her in some serious designer duds. She does admit that she loves Prada shoes and can’t get enough of them–who can blame her! “I’m always impressed by the craftsmanship and beauty of shoes,” says Elizabeth.

Shoes aside, she has more important concerns, namely a new baby boy! In March, Elizabeth announced on Twitter and on her website that she and hubby Max Handelman had welcomed little Felix via surrogate. “It was a womb issue for me. Embryos wouldn’t implant,” she explained. “It’s a big leap, inviting this person into your life to do this amazing, important thing for you. And it’s hard losing that kind of control.” She goes on to say that their surrogate is extraordinary and still in their lives–like an auntie. On parenting, Elizabeth says she wants to be the cool parent. “My plan is that when Felix is 15, we’ll go skydiving together,” she says. “I mean, the guy is fierce and fearless, and I’m hoping he stays that way. Because I want to be that mom. The one who takes her kid skydiving.” She’s indisputably the cool mom on the block in these sweet transparent, candie-colored Prada cat-eye shades.  –rpuccia

January Jones in Versace Sunglasses

Happy Birthday, January Jones! The gorgeous blonde starlet—born on January 5, 1978— is celebrating the big Three-Four today, but you’d never know it from her youthful appearance. Here’s hoping the New Year is relaxing for the Mad Men actress, since 2011 kept her incredibly busy. In addition to starring alongside Liam Neeson and Diane Kruger in the big-screen thriller Unknown, Miss J tackled the role of Emma Frost in X-Men: First Class. Oh yeah, and let’s not forget the fact that she also had a baby last fall. Her infant son, Xander Dane Jones, was born September 13.

January hasn’t yet revealed his father’s identity, but ex-flame Jason Sudeikis, an actor/comic best known as a regular cast member on Saturday Night Live, suggested he’s the baby-daddy when he hosted the MTV Movie Awards last summer. “I have a lot of pressure on me, okay?” he reminded the audience. “I have 10 minutes left in the show, I might be a dad soon…” No one knows for sure, but if Jason’s a proud papa he’s certainly not sitting home reading parenting guides. He’s been spotted out and about with House alum Olivia Wilde. Ah, Hollywood—the love triangles never surprise us! Anyway, January looks unscathed and as glamorific as always as she gets ready for some yoga in these Versace sunglasses, which are available in three fun and funky color choices.

Anne Hathaway in Carrera Sunglasses

Anne Hathaway’s incarnation of Catwoman has become somewhat of an intrigue among fans. She recently sat down with the LA Times on the set of the Dark Knight Rises–the latest Batman installment due out in theaters this summer–to give some insight on her sexy new role and where she got her inspiration. “What’s come before doesn’t limit or even affect this new version,” the Oscar-nominated actress said about the Catwoman role. “It doesn’t affect me because each Catwoman is defined by the context of the Gotham City created around her.” She explained that Catwoman is greatly influenced by Gotham and whoever is creating Gotham at the time, e.g., Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman was informed by Tim Burton’s Gotham and Eartha Kitt was informed by Adam West’s Gotham. “You have to live in whatever the reality of the world is and whatever Gotham is,” Anne revealed.

For her ferocious feline part, Anne said she was deeply inspired by Batman creator Bob Kane’s original inspiration for Catwoman: screen siren Hedy Lamarr. “I know this sounds odd, but her breathing is extraordinary,” Hathaway said of the Golden Age star. “She takes these long, deep, languid breaths and exhales slowly.” Anne goes on to illustrate her point saying there’s a scenebof Hedy in the 1933 film Ecstasy exhaling a cigarette and that she probably took five breaths during Hedy’s single exhale. “So I started working on my breathing a lot,” Anne said about prep for her role.  Anne’s breathy new Catwoman will be intriguing indeed, but in the meantime, she’s casual-cool in short cowboy boots and sporty-chic Carrera shades.  –rpuccia
