Zoe Saldana and Natalia Jimenez dazzle at the Latin Grammy Awards

Proving that fashion is more fun when you add a bit of color, Zoe Saldana and Natalia Jimenez hit the green carpet at the 12th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards held at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino on Thursday, November 10th, 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Latin ladies stepped out in jewel toned dresses, one of the hottest trends of the season!

Natalia is getting a lot of love from the cameras and is quickly becoming a red carpet favorite. I’ve got my eye on you!

Both Zoe and Natalia served as presenters during tonights telecast. My favorite was when the Avatar star joined host Lucero and Colombian beauty Sofia Vergara for a funny bilingual bit!

Zoe has been tweeting like mad about how excited she is to be a part of such an entertaining evening. She even confessing to being a little starstruck!

Backstage with @sofiavergara and Lucero. OMG tonite is gonna be magical. Calle 13′s performance was electrifying! Hope you’re watching! -ZS

Girlfriend even has fabulous taste in music. Love her!

Pippa Middleton and Eva Longoria rock head-to-toe black

Even though Pippa Middleton and Eva Longoria are thousands of miles apart, it looks like both were inspired by the same color! The duo were photographed in head-to-toe black ensembles with the sibling of the future Queen of England dressed warmer for the cooler London climate.I love seeing such influential fashionistas proving you don’t have to look like you are on your way to a funeral in order to wear so much black.  It is truly the most slimming shade and can be worn by anyone no matter age or body shape!

My favorite pieces on both women are their choice of jacket.  Pippa’s is cinched at the waist showing off her amazing figure!  The Desperate Housewives star opted for a fitted tuxedo jacket that helped dress up her otherwise casual look.

Colin Farrell cosies up to a bottle of whiskey

Seeing these new photos of Colin Farrell are making me regret not being flirtier when I shared an elevator with him during Comic Con! It was really one of those moments where I should have said something charming to make him fall for me yet all I was able to muster was, “How are you liking Comic Con?”

Totally lame and totally true story. But I digress.

The 35-year-old was spotted on the set of his latest film Seven Psychopaths in Los Angeles, CA on Thursday, November 10th, 2011. He looked to be acting a bit tipsy during this particular scene, that bottle of whiskey in his hand was probably to blame.

Farrell re-teams with his In Bruges director Martin McDonagh in this action comedy about a screenwriter who after struggling with writer’s block teams up with friends (played by Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken) to steal the beloved Shih Tzu of a gangster (Woody Harrelson).

Will this crazy adventure help our protagonist (Farrell) find his mojo and inspire a new screenplay? Let’s hope he stays alive long enough to try!

Brad Pitt brings Moneyball to Japan

Seeing Brad Pitt rockin’ this hair-do reminds me of vintage Pitt before that gross goat beard ever graced his face! The 47-year-old popped up in Tokyo, Japan for a press conference for the film ‘Moneyball’ on Thursday, November 9th, 2011.

Over here in the states, the sports drama did well amongst audiences and critics alike after its release in September. We hope it finds the same success on the other side of the world!

Showing her support during the red carpet movie premiere was Brad’s equally famous (and gorgeous!) partner Angelina Jolie. She looked stunning in a red, spaghetti strap dress and matching pout.

The couple made their arrival into Haneda International Airport with their six children Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, and twins Vivienne and Knox on November 8th. What a fabulous life they lead!

I wish Brad and Angie would adopt me!!

Shakira honored as “Person of the Year” in Las Vegas

Talk about it being a great time to be Shakira! Fresh from a ceremony honoring her with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Colombian born beauty was honored at the 2011 Latin Recording Academy “Person Of The Year” tribute dinner held at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 9th, 2011.

The star-studded event was attended by Paulina Rubio, Alejandra Guzman, Natalia Jimenez, Marc Anthony, Lili Estefan and Victor Manuelle. But the two people who sat on either side of Shakira seemed to bring her the biggest smile: her parents William Mebarak Chadid and Nidia Ripoll.

Throughout the celebration, some of the biggest names in music paid homage to Shakira performing songs from her career much to her delight. This included a special performance from her father William who sang Mi Niña Bonita to his little girl.

I can’t describe how much I love Shakira for all the amazing work she does for the world, not just with her music, but via her Pies Descalzos Foundation whose mission is to make education universally available to every child.

The Latin Grammy organization could not have picked a more deserving individual!

Congrats Shakira!

Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood glow at the Country Music Awards

Two of my favorite fashionistas Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood looked dazzling at the 45th annual CMA Awards held at the Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, November 9th, 2011 in Nashville, Tennessee.The former American Idol cutie, who was picked to co-host the event alongside Brad Paisley, wore a gold sequined gown by Reem Acra and Jimmy Choo heels. Equally as stunning was Pennsylvania native Taylor Swift who wore a white J. Mendel gown and Christian Louboutin heels.

Both girls opted for very different looks though when it came down to their hairstyle.  Taylor’s golden strands were swept back to show her frosted earrings while Carrie had some romantic waves put in her hair.

Though I’m not sure yet if Ms. Underwood won, she is nominated for the Female Vocalist of the Year award.  I hope she wins!

Sons of Anarchy: The hands of time keep ticking

Ooh so much drama is ahead next week on Sons of Anarchy, but before we begin speculating about future events, let’s have a chat about what went down last night.

As Clay (Ron Perlman) continues to implode, those around him are finally “getting” to know just how toxic he really is. No one in this world really matters to Clay more than himself, and its about time Gemma (Katey Sagal) realizes this. Too bad it took her getting a beat down and her future daughter-in-law nearly losing his life in order for her to see this side of him.

Speaking of Tara, that poor woman has probably lost the use of her hand. As a doctor, this basically means the end of your career. I know her man Jax (Charlie Hunnam) is hot and all but I’m not sure she was thinking clearly when she decided to hook-up with this bad boy.

The scene where Jax, Tara, and the boys are driving up to Oregon singing “This Old Man” was a little surreal. That type of “family” will never be possible for them. Jax is an outlaw and his true calling is as the lead of the Sons of Anarchy. Sadly this continues to confirm to me that Tara must die sooner or later.

Did anyone else feel like murdering Clay with their own hands during that hospital scene when Gemma tells him no one knows who tried to abduct Tara? UGH! How could anyone be so bold as to lie in the face of those closest to him?

He does it again when he promises the SAMCRO boys he will meet up with Romeo (Danny Trejo) to find out who is behind all this! I can’t wait until his time is up, it’s only a matter of WHO will get the honor.

My bet continues to be on either Jax or Opie (Ryan Hurst). Gemma didn’t have the balls to shoot him properly in this episode so she is off my list of potential Clay killers.

In the preview below, we see Opie having a heated conversation with Unser (Dayton Callie)–one of the only people on the planet who knows Piney (William Lucking) was murdered by Clay. And with all the love the former police chief has for Mrs. Morrow, I bet he spills the beans to Opie who in turn will attempt to avenge the death of both his father and his wife.

But when Jax finds out who is behind all this drama causing him pain, you best believe he will fighting to be the one to end it all. There is only one thing we know for sure….

“He’s gonna die by the hand of a Son” Gemma

Not to get off topic here but did anyone else notice Jax’s baby momma Wendy (Drea de Matteo) is back? Is she going to attempt to regain custody of her kid? What is her connection to Tara?

Tune in to an all new 90 minute episode of Sons of Anarchy, next Tuesday night at 10 pm. Only on FX!
