Evan Rachel Wood for Gucci!

True Blood siren Evan Rachel Wood is transformed into a sexy sun-kissed goddess in the new ad campaign for Gucci’s latest scent, Guilty. Marking her first fragrance deal, Wood is barely recognizable as she gets hot and heavy with actor Chris Evans while wearing nothing but a Gucci charm bracelet and rose-pink lipstick. While we’re used to seeing the actress go goth for her vampy role on True Blood, we love seeing this natural, seductive side of Wood. Wonder what her shock-rocker fiancé Marilyn Manson thinks.

They both look awesome!

Kristen Bell: ‘I’m Over Being Blonde!’

Kristen Bell might be rethinking her blonde bombshell status. For her role in the upcoming movie musical Burlesque–also starring Christina Aguilera and Cher—the California girl covered up her golden locks with a brunette wig. “When I had the wig on I didn’t even recognize myself in the mirror. I felt like another person,” Bell tells Instyle.com. And for the usually sunny-haired star, the temporary change might be something she is considering for good. “Now I’m over being blonde. If I’m well received as a brunette in Burlesque then maybe I’ll go brunette in [real life]!” While we are used to Kristen as a blonde, we love the chocolate brown hair against her fair skin and sparkling blue eyes, and think she should try it out for real.

Leighton Meester opens up about her beauty secrets!

The gorgeous Leighton Meester opened up in the new issue of Cosmopolitan UK.

On her beauty regime:

“As far as beauty goes, I never wear makeup when I’m not working. Very rarely I’ll put on a little bit of concealer here and there and maybe some red lipstick just to make it look like I made the effort – it does wonders.”

On her beauty icon:

“I really love Julianne Moore for having fair skin and a really beautiful smile. I love Cate Blanchett because she glows from within. And I love how Helen Mirren has aged so gracefully. She’s gorgeous and quite sexy.”

On what she does to keep fit and healthy:

“Exercise is fun when it doesn’t feel like exercise. Swimming, walking around a new city while travelling and cycling are all great.”

On playing a mean character:

“I am living my dream and having the time of my life! I’m lucky because I get to do that all day long and play a character who has a lot of noble qualities as well. I am really lucky she is such a well-written character.”

On whether people expect she will be like Blair in real life:

“Most people just run away, so perhaps that’s what they’re thinking! I think for the most part people understand that it’s just a character.”

On whether her high school experience was similar to Gossip Girl:

“The complete opposite, to be honest. I had lived in NYC before but not in the Upper East Side – it was in the Upper West Side, which was very different. When I was a teenager I was in a public high school. I certainly was not popular by any means, and I didn’t have a car or a lot of money, so it was very different.”

On who is the best kisser on the show:

“Me, of course.”

On whether she has plans to do more singing:

“Yes, of course… I like to make music – I love to sing and write, and I love to perform, so I’m trying to figure out the release of my album. I have enough songs I feel comfortable putting out, and I want to do it the right way.”
