Rooney Mara Named The New Face Of Calvin Klein
Actress Rooney Mara has been named the new face of Calvin Klein.

“I am very excited to be included in the group of amazing women that have been featured in the iconic advertising campaigns for Calvin Klein fragrances. It’s an honor to be part of a brand with such a legacy of breakthrough advertising,” A thrilled Mara told WWD.

The 28 year old will re-team with David Fincher, who directed her in The Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, to shoot a series of TV advertisements for the fashion house's upcoming female fragrance, Downtown.

The perfume, which will feature a mixtur...

Katy Perry, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus & More Rock Punk-Themed Met Costume Gala - See Tons Of Pics!

Katy Perry
It was a who's who of celebrities at the "PUNK: Chaos to Couture" Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan in New York City on Monday night.

Some stars took the word "costume" very literally, dressing up like punks, teasing their hair, and laying the make-up on heavy. Other celebs opted for more traditional ball gowns.

Katy Perry, above, was the queen of the night, wearing a heavily jeweled dress featuring the Virgin Mary on it.

Metropolitan Museum of Art Director and CEO Thomas P. Campbell explained the punk theme: "Punk's signature mixing of references was fueled by artistic developm...

'Side Effects': A Satisfying Thriller With Twists & Turns You Won't See Coming

February 8th, 2013 7:00pm EST
Side Effects
When we meet Emily (Rooney Mara) she is picking up her husband, Martin (Channing Tatum) from prison.  He was sentenced to four years for inside trading.

Once living the high life, the couple are now reduced to sharing a small apartment in a not so very fashionable New York City neighborhood.

Martin takes this all in stride.  He believes that one day soon, he'll be back on top.

Emily, on the other hand, is not doing too good.  That's especially obvious, when she drives her car into a brick wall and winds up in the hospital.

After her failed suicide attempt, psychiatrist, Jonathan Banks...

Rooney Mara Kept Her Strawberry Blonde Merkin After 'Dragon Tattoo' Filming

February 8th, 2013 1:15pm EST
Rooney Mara
Rooney Mara insisted on wearing a strawberry blonde pubic wig for her role as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo because the heroine of the story was a red head in author STIEG LARSSON's books.

The brunette admits she came up with the idea of matching her hair color to that of her literary character because she wanted Salander to look just like the girl in the book trilogy.

Mara explains, "I had to wear a merkin... They didn't ask me to but I'm naked so much in it (movie) I wanted one. It felt like a little fur bikini... and I had them make it strawberry blonde."

15 Celebrities Who Chopped Off Their Hair

Emma Watson
A truly daring star experiments with her hair for a film role or just because she wants to mix it up. But not everyone in Hollywood is so adventurous (could you see Angelina Jolie opting for a pixie cut? Probably not.)

Over the weekend, Miley Cyrus shocked fans by chopping off her newly blonde hair. Fans berated her on Twitter for taking the chance, and she responded with comments such "feel so happy, pretty, and free."

It is certainly liberating for a famous woman who is identified with a certain look to switch it up. In 2010, "Harry Potter" star Emma Watson revealed her newly shorn lock...

MTV Movie Award Surprises: Can 'The Help' Beat 'Hunger Games?'

May 1st, 2012 3:30pm EDT
MTV Movie Award Surprises
The MTV Movie Awards have their finger on the pulse of 2011/2012 cinema with tons of nominations for The Hunger Games, Bridesmaids and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2. If they’re really current, Hunger Games will sweep but there are a few interesting surprises here too.

The Help is a nominee for best picture. Maybe it’ll be the dark horse winner and make up for losing the Oscar? Only if Hunger Games and Bridesmaids split the vote. It’s interesting that MTV acknowledges the popular historical drama, perhaps doing its part for civil rights education.

For best male performance, he...

A Red Headed Rooney Mara Is Nearly Unrecognizable On 'Bitter Pill' Set (Photos)

April 10th, 2012 2:00pm EDT
Rooney Mara in Bitter Pill
We spotted Rooney Mara on the set of her new film "The Bitter Pill" in New York City today. The actress looks completely different than she has in recent months with long red hair.

Last year she dyed and chopped off her brown hair to film "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo." She ended up keeping the sharp, sophisticated look. We think the long red hair softens her features and makes her look younger.

Steven Soderbergh directs the psychological thriller starring Mara as a woman who turns to drugs in order to deal with her husband (Channing Tatum) being released from jail. Jude Law also star...

84th Annual Academy Awards - Red Carpet Fashion (See Pictures!)

February 27th, 2012 2:39am EST
Oscars 2012
The Academy Awards aren't just about the movies - they're about the fashion and what the stars wore on the red carpet at the year's biggest event.

This year, much like the ceremony itself, there were few surprises and all the stars looked fabulous on the red carpet outside the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles. Well, okay - Kristen Wiig's brown J. Mendel dress and Meryl Streep's gold Lanvin gown? Not so much.

This year's highlights include Angelina Jolie looking stunning - although also a bit thin - in a black Atelier Versace dress that's almost an exact match of the one Jennifer Aniston wore ...

'The Artist' & 'Hugo' Top Oscars With Five Wins Each (Full List Of Academy Award Winners)

February 27th, 2012 12:46am EST
The Artist and Hugo
Tom Hanks, who ended last year's Academy Awards by announcing Best Picture winner The King's Speech, started things off at this year's Oscars by handing out the evening's first two awards, for Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction. Both awards went to Martin Scorsese's 3D family film Hugo, quickly setting the tone for a possible upset in the coveted Best Picture category at the end of the ceremony.

But that wasn't to be, as frontrunner The Artist took most of the night's major awards, including Best Picture, Actor (Jean Dujardin) and Director (Michel Hazanavicius).

Rooney Mara Embraces The Low Cut Dress Trend

February 22nd, 2012 1:00pm EST
Rooney Mara
We love Rooney Mara, but somehow her look at the Costume Designers Guild Awards left us feeling a bit flat.

Low cut, cleavage baring dresses are very popular these days (just check out Rihanna's recent red carpet dresses), but we think Rooney looks a little bland in her purple sleeveless dress. What do you think?

The "Dragon Tattoo" star stars in the upcoming film "Bitter Pilm" about a woman who turns to drugs in order to deal with her husband (Channing Tatum) being released from jail.

'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' Banned In India

January 30th, 2012 11:29am EST
The Girl With the Dragon
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the thrilling box office hit that won Rooney Mara a Golden Globe nomination, has been banned in India. Censors shelved the film citing "unsuitable sex scenes," Sony Pictures said this week.

Sorry cinema fans, David Fincher's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo won't be hitting theaters in India after all.

The American version of the popular who-dun-it will not be released in India on Feb. 10, as previously planned, after the film's director refused to cut graphic sex scenes from the movie, in compliance with India's classification board.

Inside Look At The 84th Academy Awards Nomination Announcements (Video)

Live From The Academy Award Nominations
Like last year, the Oscar Nominations announcement morning always proves to be an early morning. I was up at 2:15 AM to conquer the pinnacle of the awards show season, the Academy Awards. I was interested to see how the Academy would vote this year with a new voting system for Best Picture, no clear frontrunner in the race, and a plethora of names being bandied about in the acting categories. The Academy did not disappoint this year with fresh faces, a nod to comedy, and a surprising nine Best Picture nominees instead of the predicted six or eight nominees.

2012 Golden Globes Fashion: Who Rocked The Red Carpet & Who Didn't?

2012 Golden Globes fashion
The Golden Globes are the first big awards show of the season, and the stars came out in colorful ensembles to attend one of Hollywood's most prestigious events leading up to the Academy Awards.

There were very few fashion missteps at this year's event. "Homeland" actress Morena Baccarin wore a daring black dress that showed quite a bit of cleavage (is that appropriate?), while "Ringer" star Sarah Michelle Gellar took a chance with a blue and white tie-dyed gown (too bohemian?).

There wasn't a lot of flash on the red carpet. Few stars wore sequins (Laura Dern, Madonna, Diane Lane and did)...

David Fincher Couldn't Get Insurance To Cover 'Dragon Tattoo' Motorcycle Stunt

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
Director David Fincher had to ditch plans to film a motorbike stunt scene with Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig for new thriller The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo because no insurance firm was willing to provide cover.

Mara stars as lead character Lisbeth Salander in the Hollywood adaptation of late Swedish author Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy books, opposite Craig as journalist Mikael Blomkvist.

The actress, who underwent a dramatic physical transformation for the role, was required to take motorcycle lessons to learn how to drive the two-wheeler for the film, and she admits it was one of...

Trailer Talk: This Week in Movies - 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,' 'Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol' & More

Trailer Talk: This Week in Movies
I’m disappointed to report that I didn’t love Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes sequel “A Game of Shadows.” The first half hour is pretty boring, and although the action picks up pretty heavily toward the middle, Ritchie seems to care more about style than substance in the film. He continues to use Sherlock’s own bullet-time type slow-mo combined with crazy forced perspectives of bullets and shells being shot from guns, which admittedly is pretty darn exciting at times.

What the movie lacks though is the same great banter between Watson and Holmes that was present in the first film. Holmes...

Jane By Design Challenge 2
Who's your style icon? That's what the people behind ABC Family's new series "Jane By Design" want to know.There are plenty of celebrities I'd love to emulate on the red carpet (especially if I had their bodies, that is). But my favorite It Girl of the moment is Rooney Mara, who stars in "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo."

Rooney plays computer hacker Lisbeth Salander, who's a bit of a punk and does things her own way. In turn, the actress has adopted a bit of her character's look.

She recently told Britain's Style magazine, "My wardrobe has completely changed. It had to, partly because o...

Women dominated music this year (Adele, Katy Perry, Beyonce, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj), while they didn't do half bad on the big screen either (Emma Stone in "The Help," Emma Watson in "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows" and Kristen Stewart in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn).

Television also had its share of hot female stars, including Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Paula Abdul.

Rooney Mara was ordered to turn up hungover to one of her final auditions for new thriller "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" as producers wanted to see the clean-cut star "a little more strung out."

The young beauty saw off competition from Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson to land the part of computer hacker Lisbeth Salander in the Hollywood adaptation of Stieg Larsson's hit "Millennium" trilogy novels, but she reveals it was her messy, drunken state which secured her the coveted role.
