Ashley Greene looked stunning at the 2012 Met Gala held in New York City on Monday evening.
As the current face of Donna Karan, Ashley had the honour of wearing a white Grecian Donna Karan Atelier gown designed especially for her.
Silk chiffon pleats wrapped around to accentuate a stone-encrusted sequined bustier, while a draped beaded fringe added an element of movement.
Ashley accessorized with silver earrings and a metallic clutch. Blown-out hair and glossy lips completed the look.
Donna Karan totally excelled at this event. Lets hope will be dressing some stars in Cannes next week.

The Summer Movie Posse Takes a Look at the Summer Movies ……
I’ve heard lots of talk in the past few years that movie stars don’t really matter anymore. But nothing made the point in such dramatic fashion as the reaction I got from 11 teenagers after they watched the trailer for “Total Recall,” Sony’s upcoming remake of Paul Verhoeven’s classic 1990 sci-fi thriller.
This marks the 11th year that I’ve tried to make sense of the summer movies by showing their trailers to a group of teens, known as the Summer Movie Posse. This year’s group, assembled by 15-year-old Mica Nafshun-Bone from friends who attend New Roads School and Santa Monica High, graded and critiqued 14 trailers from the most anticipated summer films, offering both wildly enthusiastic approval and witheringly blunt dismissals of the new crop of films.
It’s no big surprise that they were dazzled by the trailer for “The Dark Knight.” It wasn’t a shock to see them left cold by “Men in Black 3,” whose trailer hasn’t been getting raves among older fans, either. But what was so surprising about their reaction to “Total Recall” was their complete obliviousness to its cast of well-known actors.
The film is populated with prominent names, notably Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel and Bryan Cranston. But of the 11 members of the posse, only two knew anyone who was in the film (both of them pinpointing Farrell). Their perspective is strikingly youth-o-centric. Everyone instantly recognized “Snow White and the Huntsman’s” Kristen Stewart, who was the subject of a lively debate over her bona fides, including why her eyes are brown in the “Twilight” films but appear green in “Snow White.”
But Stewart was really the only dramatic actor whose presence mattered. There was a little buzz for Mila Kunis, who costars in “Ted,” and some genuine respect for “Dark Shadows’” Johnny Depp, whose puckishness makes him a perennial favorite with teens. But even such top-tier stars as Will Smith, Robert Downey Jr. and Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson barely registered — and not always in a positive fashion. When discussing “Snow White and the Huntsman,” Max Nath, 16, could characterize Charlize Theron only as “that other woman.”
Andrew Garfield, who stars in “The Amazing Spider-Man,” didn’t make a real impression. Channing Tatum went unnoticed in “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” and it even took a long time for the posse to puzzle out that the redhead in “The Avengers” was Scarlett Johansson.
Outside of Stewart, a polarizing figure because of her pivotal role in the “Twilight” series, the only stars who really counted were the comics. That’s probably why four of the five top-graded films were comedies, led, surprisingly, by “The Campaign,” a broad comedy set in the world of politics that costars Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis. (The latter was recognized as much because of his Funny or Die Web show, “Between Two Ferns,” as for his films.)
The posse’s members are big fans of Ferrell as well as Sacha Baron Cohen, who stars in “The Dictator,” the No. 2-ranked film. They also gave high grades to “Ted,” even though its star, Mark Wahlberg, was so far off their radar that Carrie Grossman, 14, referred to him as “Mark whoever he is.” “Ted’s” cred came from the fact that it was directed by “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane, a posse favorite.
After hearing the posse share its views, it was clear that it has a serious case of superhero fatigue. That even includes “The Avengers,” which is already breaking box-office records, but finished in the middle of the pack with the posse. As Isaac Galan, 15, put it: “It really feels a little cartoonish. I mean, is it a movie or a video game?”
The more gimmicky the movie, the more suspicion it raised (even if it’s based on a bestselling novel.) The film that scored the worst, “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” was derided for trying to cash in on the success of a certain vampire film. Ariel Astrup, 14, got a big round of laughter when she said: “That’s a really, really bad idea. Like, why not ‘Twilight’ as Abraham Lincoln?”
For the posse, the superhero-style films, from “G.I. Joe” to “Spider Man” and “Men in Black” were simply underwhelming. “The frequency of all those superhero movies makes you think they’re just doing them to get another movie out,” said Jeremy Arnold, 17. “I wish they’d think of something more original. I mean, how many superheroes is too many superheroes?”
Here’s a sampling of comments:
‘The Campaign’
Max Nath: “Zach Galifianakis is really funny, maybe because he has such a strange innocence to him. It’s a great satire of the way politics in America works — that the candidates don’t really stand for anything.”
Elias Richter, 17: “It’s funny because it feels really different. We haven’t seen a comedy about politics in a long time.”
Jeremy Arnold: “I don’t like the premise — that the choice in elections is only between two idiots. But I have to admit it’s really funny.”
‘Prometheus’
Phoebe Kiekhofer, 16: “There’s way too much screaming in the trailer. It gave me a serious headache.”
Ariel Astrup: “The flashing is bad too. I was just getting into it, especially with the weird things crawling on the ceiling, but the flashing was too much like ‘Halo.’ Yuck!”
Jeremy: “It felt like a cross between ‘Alien’ and ‘National Treasure.’ I know there are some big names in the movie, but that’s not gonna get me to see it.”
Jannah Ustaris, 14: “I agree. The screaming was way too much for me.”
‘Snow White and the Huntsman’
Karim Sharif, 15: “I’m not a fan of this trend of taking fairy-tale classics and making them into dark, twisted stories. The plot was way too predictable, but it just didn’t feel like the story was my story anymore.”
Aria Lentini, 15: “I would’ve just blown this off as a cheesy, sappy movie ’cause Kristin Stewart was in it, but the trailer actually looks pretty good.”
Ariel: “I know everyone hates Kristin because of ‘Twilight.’ But if you’d seen her in her other movies, like ‘Panic Room,’ you’d see she can actually act.”
Jeremy: “Seeing her in the trailer was a bad omen. It just feels like they’re using her to get people out to the theaters.”
‘Men in Black 3’
Karim: “It feels really cheesy. I mean, another movie about time travel?”
Carrie Grossman: “This makes me want to go back and see the first one. But not this one.”
Jeremy: “Isn’t it kind of gimmicky to have Josh Brolin play a young Tommy Lee Jones? It’s like a ‘Saturday Night Live’ impression. And anyway, isn’t Tommy Lee Jones 75 or something?”
‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’
Aria: “I don’t know why they make children’s toys into movies. It feels redundant. And was that the Rock? After he’s been in all those kids’ movies, having him in an action movie really doesn’t work.”
Ariel: “And was that Bruce Willis? Man, he’s getting way too old to be running around like that!”

Nikki Reed Not Ready for Kids but Hubby is ….
Nikki Reed and American Idol alum Paul McDonald got married last fall. The actress and her musician husband have a lot of things planned for this year, but none of it includes having a baby.

The Twilight actress admits that her husband has babies on the brain, but she’s not ready for motherhood just yet.
“[Babies] are more on the brain for Paul than they are [for] me,” Nikki told Celebuzz. “Paul is from the South so all of his friends are having babies. He looks at me all the time and goes ‘Should we just do this?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah maybe in a little bit.’”
“All of Hollywood is pregnant, but I’m not!” Nikki assured, adding that when rumors surface that she is pregnant, she has to “call my in-laws and tell them, ‘I swear, I just ate lunch!’”
Late last year, a month after tying the knot, Reed, 23, said she wanted to hold off on having kids because she still had a lot more to do before expanding her family.
“I’m not getting pregnant for a long time,” Reed told People at the time. “One day [I want to have kids], it’s just not what I’m thinking about right now. I’m young; he’s young [and] we want to be best friends and travel and do stuff.”
Nikki may not be expecting a baby, but along with the release of Breaking Dawn Part 2 this fall, she’s releasing a jewelry line that is due out later this year.
“It’s very exciting. I drew my own sketches and designed everything myself. I feel like it’s timeless,” she told Celebuzz. “ It feels very vintage. It’s inspired by a lot of the artists in my family who have done creative things. I’ve had a blast doing it! It will be out probably towards the end of the year.”

MET BALL 2012: Alexa Chung, Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltrow and more hit the annual Costume Institute party…
It’s one of the glitziest events of the year with guaranteed glam gowns galore, and this year’s Met Ball didn’t disappoint with celebrities including Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Alexa Chung and co. donning their best dresses to nail the spotlight on the red carpet.
Tuesday 8 May, 2012celebrity
Metallics and black gowns ruled at this year’s Met Ball, with a flurry of fabulous (and interesting) dresses worn by Alexa Chung, Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson and more! Get all the deets here… Will Rob Be in The “Hunger Games” Sequel ???
Twilight” fans may have something to be in rage for or would it be “The Hunger Games” tributes that have something to say?
Rumor has it, Robert Pattinson has been cast as the tribute from District 4, Finnick Odair. Robert’s close ties with Francis Lawrence, newly appointed director for “Catching Fire”, may be the reason behind the casting. How true are the rumors?

Robert Pattinson to star as Finnick Odair in ‘Catching Fire’?
Director Gary Ross had done a fairly awesome job in creating the world of Panem and the Hunger Games on the big screen last March. While a few are still questioning his sudden decision on leaving, a new Director for the sequel “Catching Fire” has already been chosen.
Francis Lawrence’s notable films include “Water for Elephants”, “Constantine” and “I Am Legend”. The renowned director has also been behind the music videos for Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and Beyoncé’s hit songs. The 41-year old has been dubbed as the perfect choice to create the world of “Catching Fire” not only by his fans, but by Producer Nina Jacobson as well.
“From the very beginning of this brilliant trilogy’s journey from page to screen, our first priority has been to stay true to the heart and soul of Suzanne Collins’ powerful stories. From my first conversation with Francis, I knew he would make a great partner for both me and Suzanne,” shared Producer Nina Jacobson in an interview.
“His passion for ‘Catching Fire’ and inspired ideas for a faithful adaptation make him the perfect director for this movie. I know this will be a wonderful collaboration and I cannot wait to get started.”
Though “Catching Fire” is slated for a 2013 release, fans of Suzanne Collins best-selling novels are discovering the possibilities of potential actors to make it to the cast. Finnick Odair, Johanna Mason, Beetee, Mags and Wiress are just a few major characters in the books that require talented actors and actresses to portray them.
Yet, rumor has it, the actor to play Finnick Odair has already been filled out and he is none other than “Twilight’s'” Robert Pattinson. Pattinson had worked with Director Francis Lawrence in the film “Water for Elephants,” so it is no surprise that Lawrence would sign him up for “Catching Fire”.
A few tweets had been sent out yesterday announcing Robert Pattinson cast as Finnick Odair. Fans of “The Hunger Games” have been on an outrage at the sound of the news.
Luckily, there has been no credibility behind the rumors and the tweets were found fake. It will be around December by the time the real cast behind the characters are announced, which would give fans enough time to root for their own “tributes”.

About Kristen’s Injury During the Re-Shoot…..

Kristen Stewart picked up a lasting reminder of the Twilight films when she suffered a nasty “puncture wound” during last-minute reshoots for the vampire franchise’s final instalment.
The actress flew back to Vancouver, Canada with boyfriend and co-star Robert Pattinson last month to shoot additional footage for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.
But production was brought to a halt after Stewart injured her foot while working on scenes in which her vampire character Bella Swan goes on her first hunt.
Stewart could be seen limping as she appeared on U.S. talk show The Tonight Show, and she told host Jay Leno, “I wasn’t trying to have ultimate swag when I walked out (to the interview) – I hurt my foot. I wasn’t trying to get out of wearing heels either. Puncture wound, promise!”
But the 22-year-old admits she was thrilled with the work she did on set.
She adds, “The first hunt is always so important. I just wanted more of it. We all wanted more of it.”
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 is due to hit theatres in November.
