British model and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is the Mega Babe on the cover page of men’s magazine Maxim US for the month of July 2011. Transformers hottie gives global warming new meaning with her super hot photo spread. She classes up the lad rag just like she did that over-sized gadget movie.

Here are some highlights from the interview:

What’s ‘New Moon’ about?

Sam, Shia Labeouf’s character, has to save the world, and he’s got a new girlfriend, which is my character, Carly. Things unfold a bit darker than they seem at first…

Is Megan Fox’s disappearance explained?

Yes. It’s explained, but that’s all I’m saying.

With the trend of models starring in big roles now, do you think it’s fair to take the money out of hard-working actors pockets?

Do you think it’s fair that actors have been taking money out of hard-working models’ pockets? Actresses have completely taken over the fashion industry in the last five years, in terms of big deals. Maybe it’s time the models get some payback.

You recently moved here, do you miss home?

Every day. It’s my soul, England. I miss the people, the culture, the food…

Wait, you miss the food in England – really?

Oh my God, so much! I find it strange that people say English food is so bad. To me it’s delicious! I’ve never really considered it, but I was thinking the other day maybe it’s strange to have beans on toast for breakfast.

That’s what you grew up eating?

I grew up on a working farm. We had chickens, sheep, horses – that’s how we ate.

You’re famous for your lips. Is that something you’ve worked on?

The rest of my body requires a lot of upkeep, but the lips are one thing I don’t have to work on. They’re funny because they change color with my mood. They get really, really red when I’m angry or passionate, and pale when I’m miserable or tired. But I suppose everyone else’s do too.

Uh, no…

They have a life of their own. They get me in trouble. You know mood rings? I’ve got mood lips.

Have your lips gotten you recognized more often in America?

I was at a DMV. My driving instructor was like “You’re the Victoria’s Secret model!” I failed my last test miserably, but this guy passed me with flying colors!

She may be known for being more shabby than chic but it seems Helena Bonham Carter is a hit with the fashion industry.

The actress has joined the ranks of Victoria Beckham, Dakota Fanning and Sofia Coppola to become the latest face of U.S label Marc Jacobs.

The choice may seem like an odd one, especially as Helena is a devoted Vivienne Westwood fan, but perhaps talks began after Jacobs dressed the actress for the Sagg awards.

Either way, Helena has always divided critics with her whacky sense of fashion.

But her mismatched style earned her a place on the Vanity Fair Best Dressed List last year.

The Harry Potter star, 44, who counts Marie Antoinette as one of her style icons, told the New York Daily News: ‘It was a triumph! ….It made me laugh because I thought it was a joke when I found out.

‘But when I saw the article, I thought, “Oh, the photos they’ve chosen are as bad as the ones they print when I’m worst dressed.”‘

Love her!

Jessica Simpson is teaming up with little sis Ashlee to create a line of tween apparel as part of the Jessica Simpson Collection, according to WWD. The new products, available in stores in fall, will be geared to the fashion-forward tween and will feature sportswear, denim and activewear styled after Simpson’s “girly, playful attitude,” the trade mag reports. Knit tops, hoodies, pullovers, striped shrunken knits, graphic T-shirts, drawstring pants, footwear and outerwear will all be part of the collection, with both Jessica and Ashlee serving as co-creative directors for the line.
”Creating a tween apparel collection was a natural extension for the brand,” Jessica tells WWD. “I’m excited to bring my sister, Ashlee, along as co-creative director of this division, because she brings a savvy rocker edge that defines today’s tweens.”
Ashlee, who has always been a big supporter of her big sis’s empire, agrees. “My goal as co-creative director will be to design clothes that will help inspire young girls to express their personalities and creativity through fashion.” This marks the first time the sisters are collaborating on a fashion venture

Today Gucci announced that Florence Welch was the new face of the brand. But it seems its love affair with the 24-year-old has been evolving for a while.

In an interview with Dazed Digital, the label’s creative director, Frida Giannini, said: ‘As I was imagining this collection I was thinking of a strong and somewhat mysterious muse. Florence is that kind of woman.

‘I met her in Los Angeles at this year’s Grammys and was captivated by her presence. She has a powerful personality and an entrancing quality to her performances.

‘She also has that confident and self assured look that goes hand in hand with the Gucci woman.’

But Ms Giannini is not the only one to spot the star’s style potential. Last year Miss Welch was guest of honour at a Mulberry catwalk presentation that saw every single one of the models styled with her signature red hair and heavy fringe.

The appreciation is mutual too – in recent months she has been seen carrying the label’s popular Alexa and Tillie bags.

And if the fashion world is your oyster, as it is for the former art student, who wouldn’t be taking their pick from the runways of Chanel and Valentino. The fashion powerhouses do not allow just anyone to borrow their clothes.

She wore vintage Valentino to the Oscars this year, and a gown from the label’s couture collection for Elton John’s annual Academy Awards after party, and Chanel to a recent party celebrating Blake Lively’s appointment as the face of the label’s Mademoiselle handbag line.

Blake Lively says she has a better wardrobe since living in New York.

The 23-year-old American actress has become an international star thanks to her role in the hit US teen drama Gossip Girl.

Blake enjoys the perks of starring in the popular TV show, which follows the lives of a group of stylish youngsters living in New York. The star says her wardrobe is far more impressive since appearing on the glamorous series.

“None of it is mine. It’s nice to play dress-up, it’s like being a little girl and putting on make-up and outfits. I grew up in Burbank [California] and I love living in New York City so much [because of the shopping] and I now have a way better wardrobe,” she said in an interview with British newspaper The Independent.

The beauty plays Serena van der Woodsen in the popular show, and is often compared to her charismatic character. Blake says although she wears the same kind of clothes and lives in the same city, she is rather unlike her fictional character Serena.

“I wear pretty clothes and live in New York so people think I’m very similar to her; they see her talk and interact in their homes once a week and they probably assume that is who I am, but it’s not me,” she explained.

Are you as confused as I am? What the heck is this thing!

Do those pesky straps on your GString get in your way? Well how about the the CString, an underwear innovation that could be yours for only $24. Leave it to “The Doctors” to introduce to us this charming product.

The barely-there lingerie that also doubles as a headband promises no panty lines nor tan lines and can be yours for the low, low price of $24. However, as Dr. Lisa Masterson warns, “I love options for women, but still thongs are very bad for women, because the rectal bacteria can still wake up…and I think this would do a lot of sliding and contribute to bladder infections.” Um, that, and our insides hurt just looking at it.

Loved the fascinator that Princess Beatrice wore to the Royal Wedding? Now it can be yours – for the right price.

“She’s putting it up on eBay to auction it for UNICEF and for children in crisis,” Beatrice’s mother, Duchess Sarah Ferguson, announced Wednesday during an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

For the April 29 wedding of her cousin Prince William to Duchess Catherine, Beatrice, 22, chose to top off her outfit with a blush-colored topper made by renowned London milliner Philip Treacy. The hat was so unusual that it instantly grabbed headlines, became an Internet sensation and became the focus on several Facebook fan pages.

Treacy, whose creations can cost around $3,300, told U.K.’s Daily Mail he designed the hat without any royal input. (Treacy also designed the electric blue hat Princess Eugenie wore to the wedding.)

“No, they didn’t tell me [what they wanted] because I’ve known them for a long time,” he said, “and I wanted them to look gorgeous and beautiful.”.
