Oh Hey Happy Belated Birthday

Penn Badgley

The Gossip Girl actor turned 25 yesterday. I don’t know about you guys, but I was not convinced for a second that Penn was supposed to be playing the dorky mascot in Easy A. He was a hot dorky mascot and if were at my high school (way back when,) I’m sure the girls would’ve been all over that. RIGHT?

Happy Birthday!

Happy 30th Birthday to Rachel Bilson and Happy 24th Birthday to Blake Lively!

Don’t they kind of seem like they’re around the same age to you? Rachel Bilson will return to television this fall with her new CW show “Hart of Dixie” while Blake Lively is still dating Leonardo DiCaprio.

I really wish she would just reprise her role as Summer Roberts though. Seth Cohen take her back.

Taylor Momsen Becomes a Full Time Musician

Little J has left the Upper East Side

for good. Taylor Momsen has quit acting to become a full time musician and it looks like she couldn’t be happier with that decision. For the first season of Gossip Girl, Little J was actually one of my favorite characters. Then she went off the deep end and we watched her character change simultaneously with her personality in real life. It was almost as if they were morphing into one single person – which was weird because that doesn’t happen often, does it? Anyways, congrats to Taylor for doing something that she loves. The girl’s a little bit cray-cray on the stage so I’ve heard, but at least she’s made up her mind about what she wants to do. Even though her music isn’t really my scene at all, I still want to go to one of her shows.

Leighton Meester for Missoni

Leighton Meester’s first photo from Missoni’s spring campaign have just been released and they are too cute. This doesn’t mean that she has won the battle for campaigns just yet though. That decision won’t be made until we get a peak at her Gossip Girl co-star Blake Lively’s Chanel campaign.

The campaign was inspired by the cover of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

This fantastic shoot was done by one of my favorite photographers Juergen Teller. He is also responsible for all of the quirky Marc Jacobs ad campaigns as well.

Click the cut below for more adorbz.

In the News…

I figured that I had better just make a roundup post…

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden got married this past weekend! No pictures have been released yet, but Nicole did wear 3 gowns – one being a Marchesa custom-made wedding gown for the walk down the aisle. Also, there was an elephant present. Not an elephant in the room, but an actual elephant stomping all over Lionel Richie’s estate where the wedding was held. Paris Hilton was not invited.

– Obligatory qt Elle Fanning gif.

Natalie Portman is on the cover of Vogue’s January 2011 issue and for some reason this cover looks extremely vintage. I’m not diggin’ on the awkward hand placement.

Fall 2010 Trend: Prep School

One of the biggest trends for this fall will be the revival of the preppy look. It is fairly easy to recreate because it combines classic pieces such as plaid and twill skirts, the button up blouse, and the blazer. You can try wearing all three, but if you think it’s too much – just one piece will do. To give you a better idea of what this trend may look like, I’m bringing to you some great films and television shows depicting the latest style trend. Get ready to become inspired!
