Ashley Greene in Ray Ban Sunglasses

With an impressive dating history that includes leading men and rock stars like Joe Jonas, Chace Crawford, and Kings of Leon bassist Jared Followill, Ashley Greene is the envy of women everywhere. But Ash recently told the March issue of Lucky  mag that she kissed a girl — and liked it! The Twilight beauty lip locked with Olivia Wilde in the upcoming comedy flick Butter and says it “ended up being really fun.” She continued: “It wasn’t that awkward. It’s the same idea as having to kiss a male co-star and it’s not real. Olivia is such a cool chick and very professional. So we were just messing around and cracking up in between scenes… And now I’m the envy of every straight male everywhere!”

Currently the brunette bombshell is dating Broadway’s Spider-Man, Reeve Carney, but adds that she’s careful not to let romance distract her from her work. “I’m so laser-focused on my career, because when you’re dealt these cards, if you don’t kind of run with it, then you’re an idiot,” Ashley says. She also says that what attracts her most is someone who has the same amount of drive as she does, someone who’s equally busy. And busy she is. With the Twilight Saga coming to an end (Breaking Dawn Part 2, hits theaters in November), the 24-year-old has been hard at work establishing her place in Hollywood with more diversified roles, like LOL,vopposite Demi Moore and Miley Cyrus, and The Apparition with Harry Potter star Tom Felton. She also had a recurring role on ABC’s Pan Am. Here, she shows why she’s one of the most sought-after stars on the big and small screens in fresh, classic-cool mirrored Ray Ban aviators. –rpuccia

Jennifer Lopez in Glam Square-Framed Sunglasses

Jennifer Lopez hasn’t been flaunting her arm candy much, until last week. She ran around NYC with her younger, hunky boyfriend Casper Smart by her side for an evening of press and a romantic dinner. First stop–a taping of the Late Show, where J Lo chatted with David Letterman about her new reality show ¡Q’Viva! The Chosen–which she  cohosts with none other than her soon-to-be-ex-husband Marc Anthony. Can you say awkward? But according to this Diva, it’s not like that. Jen revealed that she and Marc are remaining friends and getting along better now, which is great news for the couple’s two small children. On the topic of shooting with Marc, “It’s fun, but it has its moments. The same things that . . . didn’t work sometimes come up.” Casper and Jennifer wrapped up the evening with a dinner at Cipriani, and after the meal, they headed back to their hotel together.

While Jen may have a hectic schedule, she assures her fans that her children come before anything else. She recently told Fox: “When they’re ok then I can put my mind on other things and really concentrate on work.” Jennifer’s next gig includes her stint as one of the many presenters scheduled to appear at the Oscars on Feb. 26. Few can glam it up like JLo. She’s a vision in white donning a fierce fur coat, matching studded clutch and glam oversized square-framed shades.  –rpuccia

Sofia Vergara in Tom Ford Sunglasses

Sofia Vergara’s va-va-voom’ness has just earned her the top spot on AskMen’s Most Desirable Woman of 2012 list. The men’s online magazine’s annual list of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women was announced last week and the 39-year-old Modern Family star joins an impressive group of  “top spot” A-list alums including Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie. When it comes to “desirability,” Sofia proves that age has nothin’ to do with it. She moved to #1 from #3 on last year’s list after her breakout year thanks to ABC’s wildly-popular series Modern Family.

The fiery Colombian bombshell beat out a number of younger leading ladies and newcomers to lead the Top 10, such as Victoria’s Secret models Miranda Kerr (#4) and Candice Swanepoel (#10), rapper Nicki Minaj (#5), and actresses Emma Stone (#6) and Scarlett Johansson (#7). Even more interesting, perennial favorites like Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie did not even make the 2012 list at all! A big change, especially for Angie, who has made the list 10 years in a row from 2001 to 2011.  Seems guys are growing tired of the former mainstays of desirability and are opting for new faces like Sofia, Kim Kardashian (#8), Rihanna (#9), and Zooey Deschanel (#12) who have risen up to take their place. Sofia’s meteoric ascent to #1 indicates that guys are looking for fresh faces, and she’s just that in these cool-classic Tom Ford shades, available in four va-va-voom frame hues.  –rpuccia

Katherine Heigl in Tory Burch Sunglasses

One for the Money, a comedic action flick based on the book by Janet Evanovich, hit theaters this past weekend and marks Katherine Heigl’s latest effort since leaving the hugely successful Grey’s Anatomy several years ago to focus on her movie career. She has, however, expressed regrets about leaving Grey’s back in 2010. On a recent chat with the gals of The View, KH was asked if she is ever sorry that she left the show. The actress responded: “Oh yeah, sometimes, yeah. You miss it. I miss my friends. It was a great work environment … and it becomes a family. I spent six years together with these people every day … you grow up together, in a way.” And she’s done more than just express her desire to return to the halls of Seattle Grace. According to an Access Hollywood report, she just recently approached show producers about the possibility of her character, Dr. Izzie Stevens, making a come back.

Though the jury’s still out on whether Izzie will make a re-appearance on Grey’s or if Katherine can parlay a successful post-small screen career, she has been tearing it up on the red carpet with her sexy, stream-lined sense of style. In fact, she attended last week’s NYC premiere of One for the Money in a dazzling body-hugging gown by Herve L. Leroux, Jimmy Choo heels and earrings from Sethi Couture. Here she continues to dazzle in these chic Tory Burch shades, available in four frame hues, and a fabu red patent tote. –rpuccia

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
