The Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder looks incredibly sexy in this photo shoot for August Magazine. The actor who also starred in the first season of Lost (and will reprise his role as Boone Carlyle in the upcoming final season of the show) had this to say:

On his ideal role: “The one I’m doing right now, actually.”

On his transition from acting to modeling: “Fashion was a ton when I was young but, not being particularly as tall as one would need to be as a model (however I did fairly well) and not particularly seeing myself doing it for any length of time beyond it being a stepping stone into film and TV. The goal was: make money as a model and sink into acting training.”

On keeping his private life private: “It’s all very simple, actually. I’ve been left alone for the most part really. It doesn’t seem that what I do off the set is of importance to anyone!”

I absolutely enjoy him each week as Damon Salvatore on The Vampire Diaries and I can’t wait for his return to Lost. I always remember him though, from a guest episode he did on Law & Order: SVU where he was this completely creepy incestuous serial killer alongside Jason Ritter. He does like to play the bad boy and he does it so well.

Could it be that the whirlwind relationship between Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger has already come to an end? After a summer of romance word is that Cooper has decided to break things off with Zellweger.

“Bradley is enjoying his status as a hot successful star and doesn’t want to settle.”

Settle? Ouch! Or is it that he just doesn’t want to settle down?

While he may have broken things off with Renee, he has been seen spending time with movie producer Holly Wiersma.

“He’s told Renee he wants space – but at the same time he’s started getting flirty with Holly.”

Bradley doesn’t seem to the type who likes to stay with one woman for too long.  He was linked to Jennifer Aniston earlier this summer, and his marriage to Jennifer Esposito only lasted four months.

Nicole Richie is venturing again into fashion territory. She already has a jewelry line, House of Harlow 1960, and a maternity line at Pea In A Pod that just premiered in August. Her expanding fashion empire now adds a new clothing line, Winter Kate. The 37 pieces will have the hippie chic look Richie has become famous for:

Tops, vests and bed jackets make up “Winter Kate,” which draws inspiration from Nicole’s own personal retro, bohemian fashion. But the mother of two also said that she drew inspiration from some of her favorite animals and birds, so expect a lot of funky colors. Additionally, the line will include easy to slip-in dresses, tunics and a kimono-sleeved, maxi dress.

The name for this line is inspired by her first born daughter, Harlow Winter Kate. She better start naming something after her second child soon or Sparrow James Midnight will be in therapy saying “Mom always did like Harlow best!” (Incidentally, I happen to love both the girls names.)

Her latest line will debut in stores in spring of 2010.

Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift are co-starring in Valentine’s Day but is seems that they are co-starring in real life as well.  The hot new couple was spotted at the Columbus Blue Jackets and Los Angeles Kings hockey game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles enjoying some time together.  Their time together didn’t end when the game did either,

After catching some hockey, the costars were seen in the lobby of a hotel in Beverly Hills. “Taylor Swift was all dolled up and looked super pretty,” an eyewitness tells PEOPLE. “She didn’t seem to mind the attention … Taylor Lautner, on the other hand, was hiding under a hoody.”

Both of their reps are keeping quiet.  To me that means definite ROMANCE.  What do you think?  Innocent friendship or steamy romance?  I hope it’s romance, they make such a CUTE couple!

Haute couture fashion designers are increasingly collaborating for mass market retailers like H&M, Topshop and Target. Jean Paul Gaultier, known as the enfant terrible of high fashion, is teaming up with Target International for a spring 2010 line of clothing.

“Jean Paul Gaultier for Target pays tribute to the American woman, celebrating the forces of style both past and present in American pop culture,” the retailer said.
So we all know who that really means: Madonna, whom Gaultier has dressed onstage for ages. We’re hoping for pointy-bra tops, leotards, overalls, mesh crop tops, corsets — all the things chicks secretly want but can’t in good conscious pay more than Target prices for.

Look for his intriguing designs starting March 7th.

Is there anything less charming than a celebrity talking about how much they hate being famous? The latest celebrity to garner more attention by talking about hating attention is supermodel and tabloid magnet Kate Moss.

“It’s not me, it’s a character I’m made into. I have no idea why people are interested in me.

“I don’t like being famous. It encroaches on your life a lot.

“It makes me feel a bit uncomfortable talking about it, actually. But it’s something I’m learning to deal with.”

While it may be true that we don’t know the “real” Kate Moss, it’s not as if she hasn’t used the attention to her advantage. Without her name recognition her Top Shop clothing line would not be as popular as it has been, and she may not have been able to demand top dollar for modeling contracts.

I wonder what she would do if people did suddenly stop finding her interesting.  She’d be out of a job.
