Last week, we gave you a few reasons why you might be into watching the MTV Movie Awards that aired Sunday night. While there probably were some highlights on the actual show (such as Ellen Page winning for Best Female Performance in Juno), most of the goods came from the women posing as they arrived. Here's a look at some of our favorite females and their fashion choices for the award show.

Charlize Theron

Leave it to Charlize to look chic in a corset with a pair of slacks. Unlike some celebs, she never seems to overdo it. It must be because of her natural beauty. She could probably make zoo pants look sexy.

Ellen Page

The rising star looked casual and hip, per usual, in her blazer and black jeans with sneakers. She pulls off the "just-dressed-up-enough" look effortlessly, and it's actually when she looks her best.

Lauren Conrad

The Hills beauty wears bright blue beautifully. I've always admired her ability to stay trendy yet classic. She won't be on anyone's worst dressed list anytime soon, that's for sure. … continue reading

The men have spoken: Maxim has come out with its annual list of the 100 Most Beautiful Women. This year’s list is a veritable who’s who of reality television, teen queens and people I’ve never even heard of. If you haven’t gotten around to picking up your copy of Maxim or your subscription has ill timely run out, don’t fret – here is a breakdown of this year’s chosen ones.

Knocking Lindsay Lohan off her throne at number one is Marisa Miller, a Sports Illustrated cover girl and Victoria’s Secret model. Poor Lindsay — how could she stand a chance against someone with that kind of resume? But fear not, as Lohan wasn’t completely ousted; she fell eight spots to number nine. (Maxim must deduct sexy points for DWI records.)

Filling in the rest of the top 10 are:

2. Scarlett Johansson
3. Jessica Biel
4. Eva Longoria Parker
5. Sarah Michelle Gellar
6. Elisha Cuthbert
7. Eva Mendes
8. Christina Aguilera
9. Lindsay Lohan
10. Ashley Tisdale

Let me continue on a positive note – there were some surprises: America Ferrera (No. 84), Danica Patrick (No. 91), Emma Watson (No. 94) and Zooey Deschanel (No. 95) all made the list. Granted they are all toward the bottom, but still this is progress and we need to start somewhere. Makes you wonder if maybe, just maybe, the guys over at Maxim got tipped off about the AfterEllen Hot 100 and decided to incorporate some of our carefully chosen favorites into their list. But then I came to No. 36 (Heidi Montag), No. 56 (Lauren Conrad), and No. 74 (Audrina Partridge) — all the ladies of MTV’s “reality” show The Hills were present and accounted for. Ah well, so much for progress. … continue reading

I recently saw a trailer for a small British movie that is due out this June called Miss Conception. This film has all the makings of your typical British comedy: There's driving on the wrong side of the road, people drinking tea … Mia Kirshner and Heather Graham. Crikey! Mia and Heather are British? Well, no. But if I didn't have it on good authority (via a quick trip to Google) that Ms. Graham was born in Wisconsin and Ms. Kirshner was born in Canada, I could see how an unsuspecting person would think that they were in fact from across the pond just by watching the trailer.

A millisecond into the preview, we hear both Mia and Heather sporting fairly impressive faux-English accents. It is obvious to those of us in the entertainment know (or those who have access to Google) that these women are faking it and are actually from North America, but that knowledge aside — do you find their accents believable?

Judging their entire performance based on this 60-second trailer, I can make the dubious claim that they both did a pretty good job. I couldn't pinpoint what region of England they're pretending to be from, but then again I'm not a linguist and never wished to be one, so I'll leave those little details to the experts.

The shock of hearing Jenny Schecter speak with an accent got me thinking: Who else in the movie biz has mastered the art of British speak? If blindfolded and left only to depend on sound, which actors would dupe me into thinking I was talking to a gal from jolly olde England? … continue reading

Who could be the next Jodie Foster? That's the question that MSNBC is asking its readers these days. (Click here to vote and see current poll results.)

It's kind of an intriguing question — and one that I've actually considered independently. (But I'll get back to that later.) Of course, Jodie Foster is a unique individual who cannot be replicated, but I'll assume that the folks at MSNBC are speculating about which young, talented actress will successfully transition to a working adult actress.

Of course, they could be asking which young, talented actress will grow up to have a happy, private, lesbian family. … continue reading

Yesterday, two new wax figures were unveiled at Madame Tussauds in London. The next time they visit the U.K., Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz can look into the abyss that is themselves sculpted in wax:

Eeek! Waxworks have always creeped me out, even before I'd seen House of Wax (BTW, the 1953 version is sooo much better than the 2005 remake). But because I sort of like to be creeped out, I considered this an opportunity to peruse some other photos of waxy celebrities.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama:

Those could come in handy when you're just sick of campaigning. Also, doesn't that look like a winning ticket? … continue reading

Every sexy young starlet who comes along has a bit of a Marilyn Monroe complex. Such is the unattainable legacy of leaving this mortal coil before one’s time. But besides the flat-put imitators and (rest her troubled soul) Anna Nicole Smith, few have stepped so audaciously into the iconic sex symbol’s footsteps as Lindsay Lohan did recently. You see, Lindsay, the promising redhead turned paparazzi princess turned rehab veteran, has re-created Marilyn’s famed last photo shoot with its original photographer Bert Stern for New York magazine.

A troubled starlet imitating a doomed starlet? Oh, dear. While it’s admirable to want to emulate Marilyn’s legend, something seems untoward about a young woman with admitted substance abuse issues so happily reprising the icon’s final days. Marilyn’s 1962 photo shoot, simply called “The Last Sitting,” was completed just six weeks before her death from an apparent barbiturate overdose.

No nudity was spared for Lindsay’s shoot, though thankfully the booze that flowed freely during the original sessions was acutely absent at the re-creations. (See the full set here, but I’m not kidding about the nudity — it’s NSFW. And P.S., we’ve also edited out the naughtiest bits in this post for your safe-for-all-ages AfterEllen.com viewing pleasure.) … continue reading

Well, the Oscar nominations came out today; congratulations to all the nominees. Lord only knows what the ceremony will look like if the writers' strike continues, but bask in your glory for the day and worry about seeming like a scab tomorrow. Since it’s often more fun to read a bad review than a good one, let’s talk about this year’s worst performances instead. That’s right, the 2007 Razzie Award nominations are out. It appears to have a bad year for students and/or strippers who could be amnesiacs and/or long-lost twins and who are being chased by a serial killers. But then, I’d imagine any year would be hard for someone with that mix of attributes.

Seeing the list makes me feel pretty good about my own taste in movies, since I haven’t seen I Know Who Killed Me or any of the other Worst Picture nominees: Bratz, Daddy Day Camp, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry and Norbit.

In fact, of all the nominees, I’ve seen only one of the performances, that of Worst Supporting Actor stinker Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. And mostly I saw that out of my long-standing affinity for Johnny Depp, who might as well be a woman because he’s so damn pretty. What? Don’t judge. … continue reading

The trailer for Lindsay Lohan's new movie, I Know Who Killed Me, is out, and it's a spectacle to behold. If you like that sort of thing, which I do. In the film, Lindsay plays a college student. And a stripper. And the survivor of an attack by a serial killer. Yeah, it's complicated.

The film looks like a combo of Silence of the Lambs + Dancing at the Blue Iguana + Sybil. What does that add up to? Probably a cinematic train wreck of epic proportions. … continue reading

Grey’s Anatomy actress Sara Ramirez is the latest celebrity to don a milk mustache. The curvaceous star’s new “got milk?” ad features the tagline “Great anatomy.” Right on! What a nice antidote to the bitter poison pill we had to swallow recently from those infuriating light yogurt ads. I’ve already switched my allegiances to cottage cheese.

Now, I’m no big milk drinker (lactose and I aren’t on speaking terms). Nor can I vouch for all the glowing health claims attributed to the white stuff. But you have to admire the persistence of this long-running campaign, which has been going strong since 1993. Over the years, these ads have featured an assortment of cool, kick-ass and questionable folks asking one of the most-repeated rhetorical questions of our time: “got milk?”

Some of the coolest (Buffy Sarah Michelle Gellar, Dixie Chicks, Tracey Ullman): … continue reading
