Met Gala 2011

François-Henri Pinault with Salma Hayek both in Alexander McQueen

There was an unbelievable amount of love for Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney at this year’s 2011 Met Ball. I think out of all the Met Ball’s I have seen, this one has provided the most looks that I have fallen in love with. Well done everyone.

This year’s theme was in tribute to the late designer Alexander McQueen as the museum debuted a new exhibition in his name. Since there were so many attendees this year, I decided to post only my favorite looks (and a few others)  – don’t worry, it’s still pretty image heavy!

Where was Camilla Belle this year?

Celebrities Get Schooled

Cole and Dylan Sprouse of the Disney Series The Suite Life of Zach and Cody and The Suite Life On Deck have decided to attend New York University next fall.

“Cole is sticking to entertainment and will be majoring in Television and Film Production with a minor in Drama and Dylan plans to venture into the Fine Arts with a minor in Economics! ”

They are 18?! Why do they still seem so young to me. If you did not watch those shows on the Disney Channel, they were also the little boys that shared the role of Julian “Frankenstein” in Big Daddy. And they’re all grown up now.

I think it’s really great that child actors that are pretty much set for life still decide to pursue higher education. It shows that they care about it and that they can juggle these two lives that don’t mesh at all. I can’t imagine how difficult that must be. Cole and Dylan aren’t the first though, many actors have done it and succeeded. For example, James Franco has attended three or four different schools and got the degrees.

I was having this conversation with my best friend recently and I posed the question: “If you had enough money to support yourself for the rest of your life, would you still attend college?” We both said yes. What would you say?

*Didn’t Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen go to NYU also? Did they ever finish?

And Wikipedia has informed me that they left partway through…
