March 8, 2010


Fantastic news, fellas: Brooke Burke is returning to Dancing with the Stars.

The seventh season champion, former Playboy centerfold and often nude female has been named the show’s new co-host. She’ll take over for Samantha Harris and appear alongside Tom Bergeron on season 10, which premieres on March 22.

“She’ll be able to talk to the couples backstage with the perspective of having been there herself,” says Bergeron, who made the announcement this morning on Good Morning America.

The new cast of Dancing with the Stars includes such talented celebrities as Kate Gosselin and Jake Pavelka. Who will you be rooting for?

Academy Awards Fashion Face-Off: Sandra Bullock vs. Mo’Nique


Sandra Bullock and Mo’Nique were among last night’s Oscar winners.

But which of the two talented actresses was the big fashion winner?

Sandra, who won Best Actress for The Blind Side, to the surprise of no one, followed the lead of Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet with a sparkling, silver dress.

Mo’Nique, who took home Best Supporting Actress for Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire, was feeling anything but blue in a gown of that color.

Can Sandra Blind Side her competition here? Vote below and tell us!

Academy Awards Fashion Face-Off: Cameron Diaz vs. Kate Winslet


Our previous Oscar night style showdown pitted Meryl Streep and Charlize Theron against each other. This face-off might be a more difficult choice for fans.

Needless to say, Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet are both stunning blondes, and needless to say, both looked stunning in silver last night, albeit differently.

Cameron’s dress sparkled, literally, while Kate’s epitomized traditional class.

Hard to go wrong either way, but which of the stars’ stylish silver dresses do you think looked better on her at the Academy Awards? Vote below!

Academy Awards Fashion Face-Off: Meryl Streep vs. Charlize Theron


Meryl Streep has been nominated for Academy Awards approximately 278 times, and while she didn’t win last night, the acting legend looked classy as ever.

In this day and age, it’s refreshing to see the Julie & Julia star wear what many may consider old-fashioned attire but with such style. She’s really awesome.

Charlize Theron, on the other hand, may want to rethink going with the same fashion designer next year. Is her own dress getting to second base with her?

Some people loved the South African stunner’s gown, while others found it to be among the night’s worst. Which of these stars’ fashion do you prefer? Vote!

Academy Awards Fashion Face-Off: Jeff Bridges vs. Ben Stiller


Jeff Bridges was among the Academy Award winners last night at Hollywood’s marquee event, taking home Best Actor honors for his role in Crazy Heart.

Ben Stiller did not. But he did receive some laughs (either with him or at him) when he took to the stage dressed as one of the blue dudes from Avatar.

The James Cameron film did not win Best Picture, but it did win Best Costume By a Presenter … in our opinion. No one can accuse Ben of half-assing it!

It’s no George Clooney and Saddam Hussein, but who do you think was better dressed at last night’s gala, scruffy Jeff or alien Ben? Vote in our poll …

Academy Awards Fashion Face-Off: J. Anthony vs. Nariah


There was a first-time win for Sandra Bullock.

There were many funny jokes from hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.

There was a mistaken Saddan Hussein sighting.

In the end, it was an eventful Academy Awards for all in attendance and all that watched last night. The four celebrities below fit into both those categories, as none of them were nominated for any awards.

But one of these couples can still come out a winner. Just vote for it in the poll below…

Academy Awards Fashion Face-Off: George Clooney vs. Saddam Hussein


George Clooney was shut out at the Academy Awards last night, as he lost to Jeff Bridges for Best Actor and Up in the Air was defeated by The Hurt Locker in the Best Picture category.

But it’s been an even worse run lately for Saddam Hussein. The former dictator of Iraq was ousted from power in April 2003 and killed by his former country in December 2006.

Still, somehow, Saddam showed up at the Oscars and… sorry. We’re being told the gentleman posing alongside Clooney below is actually actor Antonio Banderas, not Saddam Hussein.

Our mistake.

Academy Awards Fashion Face-Off: Taylor Lautner vs. Zac Efron


Someday, Taylor Lautner and Zac Efron might get nominated for an Academy Award.

For now, the adorable pair will need to settle for an opening monologue shout-out.

During last night’s ceremony, hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwon recognized Lautner and Efron in the crowd and joked that the latter duo would resemble the former pair in just five years.

Until that day comes, we can scream and drool over Taylor and Zac. Please do so below, as you compare the young studs on the red carpet…

Academy Awards Fashion Face-Off: Kristen Stewart vs. Miley Cyrus


At last night’s Academy Awards, Miley Cyrus made bigger news than Sandra Bullock.

The latter won Best Actress, but the former admitted she was dating Liam Hemsworth. Asked whether she was the Australian actor’s girlfriend, Miley said “yes.” Asked if she was in love, Cyrus replied “maybe.”

It was a big evening for the young singer/actress, as she then appeared on stage (admittedly nervous) and handed out the award for Best Original Song.

But can Miley herself take home the trophy for Best Looking Young Celebrity at the event? She’s matched up against Kristen Stewart in this showdown, as the Twilight Saga star appeared alongside Taylor Lautner and introduced a montage of horror movie clips to the audience.

Compare, contrast and vote below…
