Natalie’s got another man in her life other than fiance and baby-daddy Benjamin Millepied–and his name is Oscar. She nabbed Best Actress at Sunday night’s 83rd Academy Awards for her role in the disturbing ballet-themed thriller Black Swan. She beat out some impressive company including Annette Bening (The Kids are Alright), Nicole Kidman (Rabbit Hole), Michelle Williams (Blue Valentine), and newcomer Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone). Nat went into the night as the frontrunner for her rivoting, sexually-charged portrayal of Nina Sayers, a ballet dancer whose drive for perfection as the lead in her company’s production of Swan Lake pushes her to the edge of madness. In the film, Nina displays a number of psychotic symptoms, including strong delusions and elaborate visual hallucinations. And she begins to feel paranoid that Lily (Mila Kunis), her understudy, is determined to take the lead away from her. Natalie’s performance had already earned her Best Actress prizes at the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards, and Britain’s BAFTAs. Directed by Darren Aronofsky, the starlet and Harvard grad trained for six months before filming and boy did it pay off.

What’s next for this darling of the big screen other than becoming a mama? Your Highness, a fantasy comedy opposite James Franco and Zooey Deschanel due out this April and the Marvel superhero film, Thor, with Chris Hemsworth set to be released in May. She’s fresh and fabulous in these classic, aviator-style Giorgio Armani shades. –rpuccia

With her smokin’ hot bod, always-perfect hair, creamy white skin, and lips to die for, it’s obvious that Angelina Jolie’s utterly gorgeous, but the female half of Hollywood’s most popular supercouple took second place in the recent Reelz Channel “Hottest Bombshells of All Time” competition. Wondering who the heck could beat Angie? None other than Marilyn Monroe! Scarlett Johannsen, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Salma Hayek, Raquel Welch, Jessica Alba, Elizabeth Taylor, Halle Berry and Megan Fox rounded out the top ten “sexiest and spiciest actresses of all time” as chosen by Reelz viewers when asked to vote for the most gorgeous women of the big screen (living or dead) on the channel’s website.

It’s all good, though—Marilyn was the original Hollywood bombshell and besides, Angie’s already been on Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World list in 2006 and 2008; People magazine’s Most Beautiful Woman in 2006; and Vanity Fair’s Most Beautiful Woman in the World in 2009. The Hollywood Reporter named her the highest-paid actress of 2008 and she topped Forbes’ annual Celebrity 100 list in 2009 along with the honor of being named one of the 50 People Who Matter 2010 by New Statesman magazine. Whew! What’s 2011 going to bring? Seen here sporting a pair of oversized Tom Ford sunglasses—a fave brand she’s photographed in often—Angelina takes chic to a whole new level. Brad’s a lucky guy in more ways than one.

In his first one-on-one since leaving rehab last month, David Arquette opened up to Oprah Winfrey Thursday about his struggles with drugs and alcohol from a young age, his strained marriage to Courteney Cox, and his plan to become a better man. David revealed that his troubles started very early in life –turns out he had his first taste of beer at the shocking age of four years old. “I was down in the basement with my dad and the beer was there and I just grabbed it and drank it,” he told Oprah. “It’s one of my earliest memories.” He continued that he seriously started drinking around age 12 and even stole pot from his father when he was just eight years old. Scandalous! And explains a lot.

After engaging in some wild behavior post-split from Courtney last October, the 39-year-old entered rehab at the beginning of the year for alcohol addiction. He also recalled his “intervention” to Oprah. He basically woke up from a nap and Courtney, his sister, Patricia, best friend, business partner, and “some guy he didn’t know” were at his bed. “I go, ‘What up, Turkeys? I guess this is my intervention!’”

David still holds out hope that he and Courtney can rekindle their relationship, but ultimately, says it’s her decision. “We truly love each other with all our hearts,” he said, adding, “Whether it’s as friends or as husband and wife, I know that I’ll be with her my whole life.” Here, he looks debonair and ready to tackle the future in these stylish Ray Ban wayfarer eyeglasses available in black and dark havana frame hues.  –rpuccia

Kendra Wilkinson in Gucci Sunglasses

We’ve all learned to take tabloid news with a grain of salt, but E! reality star and former Playboy Girl Next Door Kendra Wilkinson has supposedly split with football hubby Hank Baskett. The couple’s been denying divorce rumors for months now so it’s hard to tell fact from fiction, but the cover of a recent issue of OK magazine screams “Kendra Tells Hank It’s Over!” claiming that Kendra has finally admitted “I’m tired of pretending!” Ah, who knows what to believe anymore!

On a brighter note, the celeb cast is scheduled to be officially announced on February 28 th but it’s already been leaked that Kendra will be appearing on season 12 of Dancing with the Stars along with Kirstie Alley and Wendy Williams. Kendra should have tons of loyal supporters as she competes for the coveted disco ball trophy—she’s gained quite a following for getting into shape and helping others do the same through her exercise DVD Be a Knockout with Kendra and other diet-related promotions. The sexy mom, who says she gained more than fifty pounds during her pregnancy, definitely knows a thing or two about fitness—son Hank Baskett IV turned one in December and she’s already rockin’ her pre-baby bod.

Seen here sporting a pair of glam oversized rectangular Gucci sunglasses, Kendra looks casual and happy. The shades, adorned with interlocking G’s on the temples, are available in four frame color choices: gray silver, Havana, shiny black and violet bronze.

Kim Kardashian in Chloe Sunglasses

You would think being a reality star-turned-designer-turned-producer-turned-author-turned-entrepreneur would be enough. Not for Kimmie Kardashian. Now she’s looking to add “pop sensation” to her already lengthy resume. Citing that she wanted to do something that she had never done before–something that was out of her  comfort zone–Kim explained that the track, produced by legendary hit maker The-Dream (the man behind Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and Beyonce’s “Single Ladies”), is a pop dance song debuting “in about three weeks.” The starlet describes herself as a talented vocalist saying, “I have a cute little voice.” Better let us be the judge of that. Though she’s indicated she’s not looking to launch a full-fledged singing career, she caveats, “You never know what would happen but as of right now I’m not thinking about that. It’s just a fun song.”

But wait, there’s more. She may also be adding “mobster wife” on the big screen to the CV. According to multiple reports, Kim is in talks to play the role of Kim Gotti, the daughter-in-law of the late New York mafia don, in the upcoming John Gotti biopic, which has John Travolta attached in the lead role. The real-life Kim G. is married to John Gotti Jr., who is reportedly producing the movie. Does this diva ever stop? She’s certainly unstoppably glam in these round, oversized Chloe sunglasses which come in three chic colors–black, horn and plum.  –rpuccia

Victoria Beckham in Glam Cat-Eye Sunglasses

Contrary to her image as an unsmiling ice queen, Victoria Beckham shows her surprisingly dry humorous side when she opens up to Allure magazine for their 20th anniversary issue–on newsstands now. She chats away openly about her famous hubby David Beckham, her kids, her soccer skills, and her love of carbohydrates. With a rather down-to-earth sensibility, she gushes that “Our house is a really happy house. There are kids running around and laughing and joking, and I smile so much more than people would think.” She goes on to say that there’s nothing she loves more than being in L.A. with her kids, cooking dinner with her husband and having a romantic night in. Now this doesn’t sound like the high-maintenance diva we always picture, now does it?

She revealed she gets star struck when the likes of Demi Moore, Madonna, Drew Barrymore, Blake Lively, etc., wear her dresses on the red carpet. When she found out that Oprah Winfrey was wearing a dress from her coveted collection, Beckham confided to Allure, “I was so proud, I rang my mum!” Notoriously rail-thin, she also puts the kabosh on eating disorder rumors protesting “I eat a lot. I do.” She shares her secrets to staying in shape including running four miles a day on the treadmill and weight training. She adds with a laugh, “I’m not very good at soccer.”

Currently expecting her fourth child with hubby David, she says that time has mellowed her out. Stylistically, the 36-year-old is leaning toward more natural hair and a slightly more relaxed way of dressing. “I feel really content personally and professionally. I’m not freaked out about getting older. I’m growing older with the most amazing man I’ve ever met — with my soul mate. Life’s great.” She’s never looked better in these easy skinny jeans, drapey top and glam cat-eye sunglasses. But you know girlfriend won’t ever give up those sky-high heels!  –rpuccia

Hilary Duff in Gucci Sunglasses

Hilary Duff is definitely a girl who knows how to pamper herself. Just last week she hit the salon in Beverly Hills for—get ready for this—six hours. “Don’t know how I would survive 6 hours at the hair salon without the entertainment of @extbymissbrown @bybyron @Rogermontoya” the gorgeous 23-year old performer tweeted during her lengthy beauty extravaganza, apparently referring to employees at Epoch Hair Salon. Hil hit it big playing bubbly blonde Lizzie McGuire on the Disney Channel teen series of the same name in the early 2000s, but her luscious locks are now brunette. Trying to look more mature, maybe?

Hilary is growing up—after all, she tied the knot with professional hockey player Mike Comrie in 2010, but she’s been living in L.A. while he resides in Pittsburgh, where he plays center for the Penguins. “I’m a little envious of her right now because he just got traded to Nashville,” she joked when country crooner Carrie Underwood’s hubby, NHL player Mike Fisher, was traded from the Ottawa Senators to the Nashville Predators, moving Fisher closer to Carrie’s home in Nashville.

Looking slightly incognito wrapped in an oversized scarf, Hilary’s glam Gucci sunglasses peek out from under her hat. We’d recognize that cutie anywhere! Oh, and the delicious designer aviators are available in black with gray lenses, crystal with silver mirror gradient lenses, and Havana brown with gray gradient lenses. Snag a pair today!

Lady Gaga in Tom Ford Sunglasses

The bubble dress, the meat dress … just when you think Lady Gaga’s done it all, think again. The pop / rock sensation made quite an egg-citing entrance at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on February 13, showing up on the red carpet in a giant, semi-transparent egg carried by five scantily-dressed attendees. She “hatched” on the Grammy stage by cracking her shell and stepping out in all yellow to perform her new single Born This Way.

Gaga has always claimed Madonna is one of her influences, but critics have pointed out that the new song sounds eerily similar to the Material Girl’s Express Yourself. When asked about the comparison, Gaga claimed she “got an email from her people and her, sending me their love and complete support on behalf of the single and if the queen says it shall be, it shall be.” Word on the street is that Madonna’s old record company Warner Brothers is getting in on the action—they’re set to re-release the 1989 single, along with a new live video featuring Madonna performing the song in 2004.

Lady Gaga’s contributions to the music industry have already given her numerous awards and achievements, including five Grammy Awards and an estimated sale of fifteen million albums and fifty-one million singles worldwide. She was Billboard’s Artist of the Year in 2010 and ranked as the 73rd Artist of the 2000s decade. Gaga’s also been included in Time magazine’s annual list of the most influential people in the world as well as Forbes’ list of the 100 Most Powerful and Influential celebrities in the world. Looking “powerful” and confident as always in these oversized Tom Ford sunglasses, it’s easy to see why Lady Gaga has so many “little monsters” at her feet.

Ashley Greene in D&G Sunglasses

Ashley Greene just celebrated her 24th birthday Saturday night via a Candy Land-themed b-day bash with main squeeze, Joe Jonas. But Ash took this fave kids game to a whole new level. The Twilight beauty partied it up  at PURE Nightclub at Caesar’s Palace in Vegas and JJ came bearing a very special blingy, golden gift. No, not that blingy golden bauble, but a vintage Chanel charm bracelet. The piece de resistance, though, was his cluelessness about designers–she explains it best: “I just got the charm bracelet I’m wearing — it’s vintage Chanel and the funny thing about it is when I got it, my boyfriend said it’s vintage Coach.”  Um, slight price difference there, JJ. But she went on to say how sweet and adorable it was because he gave it to her.  “Coach, Chanel makes no difference to him but to me this is amazing,” she continued.

Beyond the fabulous, misnomered gift, the couple danced the night away surrounded by oversized lollipops, a candy bar stocked with Ashley’s favorite sweet treats and an enormous three-tiered Candy Land-themed birthday cake. The treats and gorgeous gifts were overwhelming, but Ashley said the biggest gift was having her best friends fly in to celebrate with her.

Aside from her star-making reprisal as Alice in The Twilight Saga-Breaking Dawn Pt.1, this year you’ll catch her in the film Butter with Jennifer Garner, Olivia Wilde and Hugh Jackman, as well as LOL: Laughing Out Loud opposite Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore. She’s stunning as usual in these D&G aviators with gold frames and brown/bronze mirror lenses. They also come in black and gunmetal frame hues.  –rpuccia

Save the Children Artist Ambassador Julianne Moore helped Kimora Lee Simmons kick off Bounty’s 3rd Annual Make a Clean Difference Program on February 18, 2011, visiting an elementary school in New York City to help students clean their classrooms. Helping kids is nothing new to Julianne- although the gorgeous mom of two (she has a son, Caleb and a daughter, Liv Helen, with hubby director Bart Freundlich) has been an actress for nearly 30 years, she’s said in interviews that she chooses roles in movies that film in the summertime so her family can accompany her.

Julianne had a few bit parts before she was cast in the dual roles of Frannie and Sabrina Hughes on the long-running soap opera As the World Turns in 1985, winning a Daytime Emmy Award for her work on the show. She began her successful film career in the early ‘90s with roles in The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, Benny & Joon, The Fugitive, Nine Months and The Lost World: Jurassic Park. She was honored with Oscar noms for Boogie Nights, The End of the Affair, The Hours and Far from Heaven.

Variety reports that the talented redhead is set to star in the big-screen version of Jane Mendelsohn’s vampire novel Innocence with 14-year old Abigail Breslin of Little Miss Sunshine and My Sister’s Keeper fame. Julianne was recently seen flashing her pearly whites in a pair of divalicious Chloe sunglasses. The shades are available in beige, black, brown and khaki and it’s tough to fathom that this babe is fifty years old. Lookin good, Julianne, lookin good.
