There really has been a dearth of funny ladies in Hollywood for a while…at least until recently. Women were usually the straight man, the eye candy, there for the lead guy to pursue, to impress, to harry and confound. Or, god forbid, the plucky sidekick.

Then an Emma Stone comes along. Or a Mila Kunis. Or an Anna Faris. Young, attractive girls who won’t stand around while the boys get all the laughs. So thank you Tina Fey, for making it okay for ladies to laugh again.

Though earning rave reviews (but disappointingly no Oscar nod) for Black Swan, Mila still loves doing comedies, saying:

“They’re just as hard, if not harder, to make work, compared with a drama. You work 17 hours a day, and you have to try to make things different and funny and relatable onscreen all at the same time.”

You’ve hit the nail on the head, Kunis. Comedy is hard — just think of the last time someone won an Oscar for a comedic performance. Though I heard The Blind Side was funny for all the wrong reasons.

Mila will next flex her comedic muscle alongside Emmy-winning actor and occasional popstar Justin Timberlake in Friends with Benefits, directed by Easy A‘s Will Gluck.

But before then we’ll see Mila on fashion’s biggest stage, the Oscar red carpet. I hope her gays are at work securing the best look…because I’m ready to slip in at a momen’t notice. Just sayin’.

“Every woman has the ability or the drive to do it all and have it all,” Aquilera told REDBOOK, who separated from her husband, Jordan Bratman, just two days before the photos were taken. ”Men aren’t as strong and capable as we are. We’re machines.”

You said it girl! Now get yourself a new stylist and you’ll really have the power.

Beckham looks happy and relaxed in the cover photo shot by Ruven Afanador. I love the Gaultier for La Perla bra and Eres panty combo.

Def an eerie vibe, but still quite sexy and pleasing to the eye, not as gory as some of the Halloween inspired spreads…

Thanks Wicked Halo for the pics

It’s really difficult for me to pick favorites when it comes to photographers. There are so many talented men and woman out there who make the art of fashion come to life. But I will tell you that Ruven Afanador has been a continuous favorite of mine throughout the years. His style is edgy, innovative and delectably provocative.

Afanador has won the Trophee de la Mode for Best Photographer and has published two books. The first, Torero, sold out within a year. Shortly after, Sombra, a collection of male nudes, hit the bookshelves and coffee tables of admirers everywhere. Much of Afanador’s inspiration stems from the small Columbian town he grew up in. It was at this young age that he became an follower of Irving Penn’s work, an icon who still enlightens his own craft.

Afanador has shot for most major fashion magazines and has done ads for Nordstrom, J. Mendel, Neiman Marcus and Sephora. He shows celebrities in unusual lights and has photographed Mena Suvari, Tina Fey and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
