Watch a recent NBC News interview with actress Kristen Stewart on the upcoming film “The Yellow Handkerchief” by director Udayan Prasad (Gabriel & Me) and starring Kristen Stewart (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, The Runaways), Maria Bello (Grown Ups) and William Hurt (Robin Hood).
"Synopsis: One lazy afternoon in a backwater Louisiana town, Martine takes a leap into an unfamiliar convertible. The driver, Gordy, an awkward young itinerant who eyed her in the diner earlier, isn’t displeased to find this pretty sylph in his front seat. Soon they meet Brett, a laconic, humble man just released from prison. Martine isn’t keen on going solo with Gordy, and now it’s raining cats and dogs, so she invites Brett along, and the unlikely trio sets out, each person unsure of the destination. What ensues is a journey through the lush green byways of rural Louisiana and into the depths of these characters’ souls". Source: www.shockya.com

"According to a report in the Mirror, organisers, fearing a no- show by The Fight For This Love singer would put a dampener on the evening, quickly did a U-turn and turned to Twilight star Kristen Stewart instead.It claims X Factor judge Cheryl was informed weeks ago about the award. But after allegations that her footie ace hubby Ashely had cheated on her saw her jett off to L.A, alarm bells started ringing when organisers were told she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to make the glamour event.

Undeteered they were apparently still hoping to crown Cheryl Woman Of The Year right up until the show started. But when it became clear that Cheryl , who arrived back in the UK from L.A. this afternoon, wasn’t going to make it, they put Plan B into action and turned to 19 year-old Kristen, who was in town for the BAFTAs, instead.

However, despite the cat being well and truly out of the bag about her love life, she refused to comment about her love for Robert Pattinson and settled for smiling and walking away.

Fashion Industry News:

"Fashion designers help create the billions of dresses, suits, shoes, and other clothing and accessories purchased every year by consumers. Designers study fashion trends, sketch designs of clothing and accessories, select colors and fabrics, and oversee the final production of their designs.

Clothing designers create and help produce men's, women's, and children's apparel, including casual wear, suits, sportswear, formalwear, outerwear, maternity, and intimate apparel. Footwear designers help create and produce different styles of shoes and boots. Accessory designers help create and produce items such as handbags, belts, scarves, hats, hosiery, and eyewear, which add the finishing touches to an outfit.

The first step in creating a design is researching current fashion and making predictions of future trends. Some designers conduct their own research, while others rely on trend reports published by fashion industry trade groups.

Trend reports indicate what styles, colors, and fabrics will be popular for a particular season in the future. Textile manufacturers use these trend reports to begin designing fabrics and patterns while fashion designers begin to sketch preliminary designs. Designers then visit manufacturers or trade shows to procure samples of fabrics and decide which fabrics to use with which designs.

Celebrity Fashion:

"Heat is a mainstay in marketing. Heat as in hotness as in sexy. The better looking the person, the more likely the consumer is to stare. That’s what its all about, manipulating the animal brain, and Olivia Wilde certainly manipulates my animal brain. Look at that picture for Pete’s sake.

Anyway, her star is rising in Hollywood and, just like so many other ultra-hotties, she started out in commercials, namely, an Abercrombie & Fitch ad campaign in 2004.

Depending on the size of their design firm and their experience, fashion designers may have varying levels of involvement in different aspects of design and production. In large design firms, fashion designers often are the lead designers who are responsible for creating the designs, choosing the colors and fabrics, and overseeing technical designers who turn the designs into a final product. They are responsible for creating the prototypes and patterns and work with the manufacturers and suppliers during the production stages.

Other high-fashion designers sell their designs in their own retail stores or cater to specialty stores or high-fashion department stores. These designers create a mixture of original garments and those that follow established fashion trends.

Some fashion designers specialize in costume design for performing arts, motion picture, and television productions. The work of costume designers is similar to other fashion designers. Costume designers, however, perform extensive research on the styles worn during the period in which the performance takes place, or they work with directors to select and create appropriate attire.
Work environment. Fashion designers employed by manufacturing establishments, wholesalers, or design firms generally work regular hours in well-lighted and comfortable settings. Designers who freelance generally work on a contract, or by the job. They frequently adjust their workday to suit their clients' schedules and deadlines, meeting with the clients during evenings or weekends when necessary.

Freelance designers tend to work longer hours and in smaller, more congested, environments, and are under pressure to please clients and to find new ones in order to maintain a steady income. Regardless of their work setting, all fashion designers occasionally work long hours to meet production deadlines or prepare for fashion shows.

The global nature of the fashion business requires constant communication with suppliers, manufacturers, and customers all over the United States and the world. Most fashion designers travel several times a year to trade and fashion shows to learn about the latest fashion trends. Designers also may travel frequently to meet with fabric and materials suppliers and with manufacturers who produce the final apparel products".

Kristen Stewart's Speech at the Elle Style Awards


Kristen Stewart's Speech at the Elle Style Awards

"Hollywood beauties Kate Hudson and Twilight star - and Robert Pattinson's girlfriend - Kristen Stewart were sat in the front row last night to check out the latest collection from that most British of fashion labels Burberry.
They were joined by the likes of Uma Thurman, Claire Danes, Mary-Kate Olsen, and Mia Wasikowska, star of the new Alice in Wonderland film.

Uber fashionista Vogue editor Anna Wintour was also there too to cast a beady eye over the latest designs by the label's head honcho, Christopher Bailey".

Jake Gyllenhaal & Matt Damon turned down "Avatar"

"In another universe, Jason Bourne or the Prince of Persia might have been running around the jungles of Pandora.

"Avatar" director James Cameron spoke to both Matt Damon and Jake Gyllenhaal about playing the role of Jake Sully in the sci-fi epic that now stands as the biggest moneymaker in the history of Hollywood with $2.5 billion in worldwide box office.

Both stars, perhaps leery of a blue-in-the-face gig, declined, and the filmmaker instead went with his first choice -- unknown Aussie actor Sam Worthington, who was living in his car before he got the job. Cameron said he offered the role to the big-name stars only to placate the studio chiefs at Fox, who wanted a bankable star to offset some of the risks of the expensive project.
"I don’t think they ever had a problem with the CG, “ Cameron said. “Honestly, did I go out and try to woo them? No. I had my heart set on Sam. Maybe they sensed my lack of 100% commitment from me. Maybe it was the subject matter. This was a big 'Star Wars'-type movie. They’re both serious actors.”

Next up for those serious actors: Gyllenhaal stars in "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time", based on the video game, which hits theaters in May, while Damon will be seen in "Green Zone" and is among the stars working on next year's "Happy Feet 2 in 3D."

"While Damon just played South African rugby star Francois Pienaar in Invictus, he has never played a real figure like Kennedy. The film will trace RFK's transformation from the younger brother in the shadow brother President John F Kennedy to a strong national leader in his own right before he was gunned down in 1968. His assassination at the Ambassador Hotel was the backdrop for Emilio Estevez’s Bobby, and Chris Columbus and his 1492 partners are developing The Last Campaign on RFK's presidential run.

Knight, the Eastern Promises writer, just got hired by Columbia Pictures to adapt the Dan Brown novel The Lost Symbol. That came thanks to his work for the studio on Pawn Sacrifice, a drama about Bobby Fischer's unlikely victory over Russian chess champ Boris Spassky.
