Vera Wang's recent Fall 2012 fashion show was one of New York Fashion Week's most highly anticipated events, with Viola Davis, Renee Zellweger, Leighton Meester and the Vogue Editor-in-Chief herself, Anna Wintour, all in attendance.

ET got a coveted invite inside the glamorous show, where the stars professed their love for the celebrity designer.

"This was my first fashion show so it was so exciting," Davis, who got an enviable front row seat next to Wintour, told ET. "But I love Vera Wang -- I find her so feminine, so classic and chic."

And what will the Best Actress Oscar nominee be wearing to this year's ceremony?

"Maybe I thought of my dress, maybe I haven't," she teased. "But I'll tell you -- it's going to be fabulous!," she laughed.

Meester, the face of Vera Wang's Lovestruck perfume, echoed the love for the designer.

"I love everything about her [Vera Wang]," she gushed. "As a person she is incredible. She's funny and smart and very witty. She's incredibly talented and she's not really fussy or anything. She just is what you see."

Project Runway All Stars: Who Didn't Have a Prayer With Godspell?
[info]olanmcmillan

It's safe to say we weren't the only ones shocked to see Rami Kashou go last week, as witnessed by the beginning of tonight's Project Runway All Stars episode.

But there was no time to grieve the loss of a great designer, because the remaining seven had to come up with something spectacular for award-winning composer Stephen Schwartz's Broadway musical Godspell.

The winner would get their design featured in the show and their bio listed in the Playbill!

Basically, the designers had to come up with an outfit?requiring separates since the performer will be putting on this look while onstage?for a "rich woman" character, played by Uzo Aduba.

Think feathers, faux fur, exotic prints and crazy accessories.

The judges, including Tony-winning Broadway star Sutton Foster in the guest spot, chose Mondo Guerra as the winner of this challenge for his eccentric jacket paired with a long halter dress layered with different patterned fabrics. It might sound weird, but it really was gorgeous.

Unfortunately, Mila Hermanovski and Kara Janx were on the bottom.  

Although she stepped out of her comfort zone with tonight's look, Kara was out due to a lack of construction (the slit on the skirt skewed a little) and one giant silver bow.

What say you, fashionistas? Was the right All Star snipped? Sound off in the comments!

So True? So False? Is Jessica Simpson Really Going on The Biggest Loser?!
[info]olanmcmillan

Jessica Simpson looks lovely?she's got a baby on the way and she's the picture of full-belly health.

We also imagine that the pop star turned fashion mogul is enjoying the brief respite from all the scrutiny regarding her weight that she seemed to face on a daily basis before she got pregnant.

And while a report that she had already signed up to be a Weight Watchers spokeswoman after the baby is born proved bogus, surely Simpson is thinking somewhat about how she's going to get back into red-carpet shape after her nine months are up.

But appearing on The Biggest Loser, as we heard today? That sounds a little far-fetched, doesn't it? Well, hang onto your spandex, fans, because this story is...

So true?but not as a contestant, of course.

NBC has confirmed that a still-pregnant Simpson will be on the March 13 episode of The Biggest Loser to treat two challenge winners to a tour of her showroom and free goodies from her clothing, handbag and skincare lines. (NBC and E! are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)

"I was so happy when I was asked to help style two contestants from The Biggest Loser," Simpson said. "I am truly inspired by how hard these contestants worked to accomplish their goals for a healthy lifestyle. It was so much fun seeing them try on clothes they would have never fit into before and feeling sexy. We had an amazing day together!" 

And don't think for a second that Simpson's appearance on the show isn't a carefully styled event in and of itself.

NBC's new competition show, Fashion Star?featuring Simpson, Nicole Richie and designer John Varvatos as contestant mentors?premieres March 13, right after The Biggest Loser.

Molly Sims Is All About Her Latest Accessory: The Baby Bump

Molly Sims is known in part for looking really, really, ridiculously good in a bikini, but there?s only so many times you can rock a set of chiseled abs without wanting to mix it up. Say hello to Molly?s newest accessory! ?I bought the belly ball right here,? the Sports Illustrated model and Yes Man actress laughed of her latest adornment. ?He?s here. She?s here. We don?t know! Can you guess??

It?s not just producer husband Scott Stuber, however, who can?t tear himself a way from Molly?s midsection; perfect strangers feel more than comfortable manhandling her bump. ?It?s a little weird, I?m not going to lie,? Sims laughs. ?But people mean well by it, and also I think it gives good energy.? An accessory that makes you look as good as Sims and makes you okay with people pawing at your stomach? Put our names on the waiting list immediately.

All the Details on Reese Witherspoon?s Sexy ?This Means War? Style
[info]olanmcmillan

Reese Witherspoon This Means War

We?ll cut to the chase: Reese Witherspoon looks smokin? hot in her new film, This Means War. Playing a professional caught between two debonair guys, she wears lots of sexy date looks ? and at one point, even strips down.

?Getting sexier was a very clear idea that all of us ? myself, [director] McG and Reese ? had from the beginning,? costume designer Sophie De Rakoff tells PEOPLE. ?This was the movie to push it a little further.?

De Rakoff, who?s worked with Witherspoon on six films (including Legally Blonde), says that creating a perfect wardrobe for the star was tough at times. ?The thought was, what is the balance between someone who has a high-profile, serious job, and a woman who is out there, single in the dating world,? she muses. ?We had to meld those two worlds together without making her look schizophrenic.?

The designer says the date looks were especially fun to create; an Hervé Léger dress paired with a jacket from The Row tops her list of favorites. ?The dates are so varied ? you?ve got a nightclub, paintball, a carnival ? so it was an opportunity to do fun outfits for each circumstance,? she explains.

And to make Witherspoon appear as that girl next door, De Rakoff mixed lots of high-end pieces with more affordable fashions. ?We used Dolce & Gabbana, J Brand, Prada, Theory, Burberry, Miu Miu, J. Crew, Opening Ceremony,? she says. ?It ran the whole gamut.?

It?s not just about the leading lady, though: De Rakoff enjoyed dressing Chris Pine (?He basically wears Ralph Lauren the whole movie,? she says), Tom Hardy (?He?s a rougher version of Chris?s character?) and Chelsea Handler, too. ?Chelsea looks like Chelsea,? she says, ?but I think that it works because it makes her look more real ? and allows her humor to shine though.?

Catch This Means War in theaters Friday.

Jason Bateman & his wife welcome daughter? Maple Sylvie
[info]olanmcmillan

I always forget how attractive Jason Bateman is until I look at photos of him. Did that make sense? I?m writing in a lust-haze. Like, in my general memory of Jason Bateman, I see his vampire face (he?s seriously ageless), and I think ?Funny. Sweet. Talented. Good guy.? But then I look at photos of him and I think ?OMG, HOT.?

Anyway, last August, Jason and his wife Amanda Anka announced that they were expecting another baby. They are already parents to a 5-year-old girl, Francesca, and when they announced the second pregnancy, they confirmed that they were expecting another girl. Well, Amanda gave birth last Friday! And they named their second daughter? MAPLE.

Double the daughters for Jason Bateman.

The actor and wife Amanda Anka welcomed a baby girl, Maple Sylvie Bateman, on Friday, Feb. 10 in Los Angeles, the Horrible Bosses star?s rep confirms to PEOPLE.

The new addition joins big sister Francesca Nora, 5.

Anka?s pregnancy was announced in August by her father, singer Paul Anka, who said, ?I?m going to be a grandfather again!?

Bateman and Anka, both 43, were married in July 2001.

[From People Magazine]

Maple Sylvie. Not even Sylvia. And MAPLE? As in, maple syrup? As in, ?What everyone is going to call your daughter for the next 20 years of her life??? That?s just going to be her name as soon as she gets to school ? ?Syrup.?

For a second there I was all, ?Hey, did they name her Maple because one of them is Canadian?? Because Maple = Canadian, in my mind. But no ? they?re both Americans. I have no idea why ?Maple?. Much less ?Maple Sylvie.? Maple Bateman? It sounds like Maple Bacon. Mmm? bacon.

Macaulay Culkin Service Man Update
[info]olanmcmillan

After pictures of a gaunt Macaulay Culkin emerged exclusively on ET this morning, speculation as to whether or not this extreme weight loss was for a new movie project, titled Service Man, began to crop up.

Exclusive: Macaulay Culkin's Gaunt Photo

And while TVGuide.com reports his rep as saying, "Mr. Culkin is NOT starring in Service Man, don't take for face value everything you read on IMDb," Entertainment Tonight has spoken with Goliath Studios, the UK-based production company behind Service Man and they confirm correspondence with Culkin's manager about his possible cooperation in the project.

ET Flashback: Macaulay Culkin Left Home Alone!

Although the film is currently on hold while the script is being rewritten, if Culkin chooses to participate in the project, the uplifting military action-comedy-drama would be his first big-screen role since 2007's Sex and Breakfast.

Whitney Houston?s Funeral To Be Livestreamed, X Factor Bid Was In The Works
[info]olanmcmillan

Whitney Houston?s funeral at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark this Saturday might be closed to all but the singer?s closest friends and family, but that doesn?t mean her fans will miss out on paying their last respects. According to Houston?s rep Kristen Foster, the Associated Press will be allowed a camera into the private ceremony and will stream the event on their AP Live site. Meanwhile, if just thinking about Whitney?s funeral makes you depressed, these new insights about the singer?s unfinished upcoming projects probably won?t make you feel any better?

According to The Hollywood Reporter, besides Sparkle, her upcoming film with Jordin Sparks, Houston was currently working on a bid to fill one of The X Factor?s judges chairs left vacant by Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul. According to Harvey Mason Jr., the producer for Whitney?s planned duet with Sparks entitled ?Celebrate,? Houston was looking forward to a schedule packed with those and other projects. ?She talked about Sparkle, Waiting to Exhale and working on her new solo record, and she was excited for Clive [Davis's] party,? he told People, saying of the singer, ?She said ?Don?t make anything less than perfect.?? As if Whitney would have it any other way.
