Amber.Stardoll- We’re heard that Halle Berry and her boyfriend Olivier Martinez, who’s French by the way, got engaged sometime during Christmas! We’ve seen Halle wearing a emerald and diamond ring and we’ve heard that Olivier proposed with a Gurhan ring exactly like that one! A friend to Halle says that she “had given up on being married, but she trusts Olivier. He makes her feel safe. He’s a keeper!” Third time’s the charm applies to Halle after her two earlier broken marriages. Olivier earlier dated the pop star Kylie Minogue for a couple of years but now he wants to spend his life with Halle! We’re so happy for her! (celebuzz)

- When comedian Ricky Gervais was taking a stroll with his longtime partner, Jane Fallon, the couple was followed by paparazzis. Not a big surprise, but this is: when one of the paparazzis filmed Ricky too closely, Ricky then stole his camera and started filming him instead. Way to turn the tables, Ricky!

- "Scary Movie" star, Anna Faris, has some really scary street style! She was spotted at The Grove shopping, wearing a horribly fitted leather skirt, an over-sized knit sweater and boots. Okay, the boots are kinda stylish, paired with something else that is. Get it together, Anna, this is just embarrassing!

We were wowed by Olivia Wilde’s smokey-but-colorful and sultry-but-fresh look at the 2012 Palm Springs Film Critics Awards last weekend. Pairing bronze shadow, purple liner, and a modified cat eye was a lot of look to love, but Olivia kept her makeup statement bold (not overdone) with a fresh face and a sheer, light lipstick. Get noticed on prom night our top picks for perfectly emulating her modern, glamorous style.
1. Walk the Line

Using short, feather light strokes apply a liquid liner directly against the base of your top lash line. When you get to the outside corner of your eye, give yourself a small wing tip. This mini-modified cat eye line will help you gauge where to stop applying the rest of your shadow and add just the right amount of drama.
2. Plum-fection

We love this palette from Sephora, which has every color you need to pull off our Prom Look of the Day. Using an angled brush, line your bottom lash line with a deep purple, like the one in the palette above with rich, brown undertones. You don’t want an exact line so smudge with your fingertip and add a thicker line of dark brown starting at the middle of your eye to the outer edge. Apply a medium bronze to your top lid, keeping the color below your crease and then add a layer of darker bronze above your crease, starting at the middle of your eye and continuing out to where you finished your cat eye. Highlight below your brow around your tear ducts with a cream color. Add a few layers of your favorite mascara, using diagonal strokes for a wide-eyed look.
3. Super Glimmer-ous

This three-in-one creamy shimmer stick is a major must-have for a fresh, glowing complexion. To get Olivia’s look, apply with a foundation brush, your fingertips or the stick itself, to the apples of your cheeks and your lips. You’ll get a richer deposit of color if you apply directly to your skin so be ready to blend, blend and blend some more. Add a layer of gloss over your lips for some extra shine.

Balmain, Dolce & Gabbana, Elie Saab spring 2012 Photo: Imaxtree
Designers did some serious bedazzling on spring 2012 collections. Dolce & Gabanna used glittering gemstones, Elie Saab used thousands of glittering sequins, and Balmain decorated his structured separates with shimmering studs. You can brighten clothes, shoes and bags with spring-savvy embellishments in three easy steps. You’ll need:

1. Rhinestones, sequins or glitter of your choice. You can buy Swarovski crystals online in big batches, in almost any color. Crystals2love.com sells 144 piece packs for around $7. You can also buy plastic stones at stores like Michael’s, and A.C Moore (which is also the best place for glitter). Depending on the amount and the grain of the glitter, you can expect to pay anywhere from $4-$10 dollars.

2. Adhesive. what you’ll use depends on your project. For glitter, a paint-on adhesive like Mod Podge is perfect; for rhinestones or sequins, using a hot glue gun will give you the best results. 3. Chalk.
How you’ll do it:
1. Plan first. Using chalk, gently trace your pattern (check out our fav mega-embellished spring collections in the slideshow below) on your garment or accessory. When you work with glitter, make sure you lay out plenty of newspaper so you can catch and save what you don’t use.
2. For glitter, paint a thin layer of Modge Podge and tap out a generous amount of glitter onto your piece. For Sequins or Rhinestones, dot the back of each rhinestone or sequin with glue separately. Don’t draw lines with glue! You’ll wind up with hard, tacky, streaks that your stones won’t stick to.
3. Be patient. This is probably the most important step! Embellishing by hand can take days and you shouldn’t rush the process. If you take your time, you’ll have a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind piece that would fit right in on the 2012 runway.

In 1997, Natalie Joos made her move from Belgium to the east coast, landing in New York—and landing a gig as Glenn O’Brien’s personal assistant. From there, she managed Craig McDean’s photography studio and since then, has launched and grown her own casting agency helping to find fresh faces for clients like Helmut Lang, Phillip Lim, and Hugo Boss. Joos’ keen eye and love of vintage have earned her a top spot on the international fashion circuit and fueled her beloved blog, Tales of Endearment. What is your favorite smell? I used to be obsessed with the after sun cream for the face by Clarins. I literally went weak in the knees when I smelled it. It was summer in a bottle. I haven’t bought it in a while, but now that you made me think about it… What do you consider the epitome of happiness? Hearing a great song that transports you into higher spheres makes you smile involuntarily and forget everything. How do you define luxury? Luxury is being able to do what you desire without strings. It’s hedonism with sprinkles of gold on top. What is the last dream you remember? I’m sure it was something racy… What’s your favorite childhood memory? My mom sitting me down on the mantelpiece in the living room when I was about 2 years old tying my favorite shoes. I wore a navy dress with a peter pan collar. I loved those shoes but they were only for Sundays. What’s the last book you read and loved? I just finished reading In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, but can’t say I really loved it. He gives away all the juicy bits in the beginning—there’s not much left to be imagined or discovered. I was disappointed, although the writing is great of course! The last book I did love was The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. And whenever David Sedaris comes out with a new book I sprint to the store. Describe your home’s aesthetic. Minimally modern with a touch of 60′s, and some antique pieces for balance and character. What are your vices? I bite my nails. It’s a bad habit, but it’s under control. Describe yourself in five words or less. Funny, smart, spontaneous, rational, OCD. What possession will you never throw away? I am a borderline hoarder; this question is irrelevant.

From giving undercover menswear advice to Fendi to secretly learning how to design women’s shoes at Giuseppe Zanotti, Kanye West is quite the fashion guru—at least according to the life story that he tweeted between the hours of 4 and 6 a.m. London time this morning. His two-hour tirade included snippets of his illustrious fashion career that has been, until now, largely kept under wraps. Hip hop superstar by day, couture genius by night, Kanye allegedly spent a month in Japan, interning with Fendi before spending another four months passing them secret tips for their menswear line. He was also offered a position at Versace but had to turn it down due to a two-year contract with Louis Vuittion, where he’s designed sneakers in the past. It seems like Kanye felt like he had to defend himself after a fake twitter account that claimed to be the official handle for his fashion line surfaced. He made sure to mention that he isn’t only a seasoned designer, but a self-made one as well. According to him, he has no financial backers for his collection but “did the first fashion show out of my own pocket and used the money I made touring to follow my passion.” Want more details? ELLE.com‘s got the play by play.
