Let’s face it, there’s nothing sexier than a superhero—especially one who’s perfectly cut and stronger than any living human. Enter Chris Evans, who’s reprising his role as Marvel Comic superhero Captain America in this month’s The Avengers, alongside Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Hemsworth, and Scarlett Johansson. Sure, Chris may not be an actual superhero, but he looks as close to the real deal as we’re going to get (and he has the muscles to prove it!). [Read more...]

We can’t get enough of the nail art trend—it’s the perfect way to make a statement and add more depth to your regular old manicure. Playful nail designs allow you to show off your personality and creative side (and come exam time, they function as a great procrastination tool too). Our latest obsession is the too-cute-for-words panda bear manicure. It’s one of the quickest and easiest designs to make, and no extra tools are required—just nail polish (only two colors), a bobby pin, and a toothpick. Having these little guys at your fingertips will surely brighten up your day, so check out our tutorial to find out how to make them! [See the steps...]

This week, Brit singer-songwriter Marina And The Diamonds is back with her new single “Primadonna”, the latest track off her upcoming album, Electra Heart, out July 17. The pop song has tinges of Lady Gaga and Katy Perry (she opened for Katy on select dates of her California Dream Tour) with a bumping beat and entertaining tongue-in-cheek lyrics to boot.
We talked to Marina about her new album, love and relationships, her personal style, and her must-have beauty products. Check out the Q&A below and click through to watch the video for “Primadonna”! [See the Q&A...]

What girl doesn’t dream of a having her very own Prince Charming to come to her rescue and sweep her off her feet? Sure, these heroic men are usually the stuff of fairy tales, but that doesn’t mean we can’t cross our fingers for a real-life romance. We’ve rounded up our favorite fictional princes who all engaged in seemingly never-ending quests to free their damsels from distress.
Here are the leading men we’d love to live happily ever after with:

This Prince is so good-looking that he has not one, but two women lusting after him: Snow White and the Evil Queen. While he’s drawn to Snow White from the moment he first sees her in the forest, the Queen devises a plot to get him to marry her so she can solve her financial problems. Get that: beauty and bills!

Every high school rom com we can remember has an intense dramatic climax at Prom. Whether that’s finding out your best friend booked a hotel room for your crush, blowing your cover as an undercover reporter, or almost turning your date into a vampire, these movies do Prom right—and show us just how much of an emotion-charged evening it can be. We doubt real-life Prom will live up to these romantic Hollywood displays, but hey, a girl can dream. Start swooning in 3, 2, 1… [See the movies...]

Katie Holmes broke out her summer whites while out and about in L.A. on Wednesday, and judging by how well-styled and spring-appropriate her outfit is, we’re going to let it slide that she’s violating fashion’s cardinal rule: no white pants after Labor Day (or before Memorial Day).
The actress isn’t the only one breaking the rules. Designers like Alexander Wang, Celine, and The Row have all featured white bottoms in their spring/summer collections, and many pale pants can already be seen on the store floors of Zara and Topshop.
We love how Katie added color to her white skinnies with a loose-fit red striped shirt and paired them with taupe suede ankle booties to toughen up her low-key look. Her effortlessly cool ensemble has us ready to ditch the old guard rules of fashion and throw on some whites too. Here’s how you can replicate her look: [Start shopping...]

A teenage pop star with boyish good looks and feathery hair? No, we’re not talking about Justin Bieber, but there are a few similarities between Biebs and 15-year-old Australian singer-songwriter Cody Simpson, including how they were both discovered (on YouTube!).
Like Justin, Cody got his start posting videos of himself on the video-sharing website playing cover songs by artists such as Jason Mraz, Justin Timberlake, and the Jacksons. After being discovered online by record producer Shawn Campbell, Cody was flown out to L.A. to begin recording music, and he’s not leaving anytime soon.
Since moving out west in 2010, Cody’s kept busy with EPs and tours, including a co-headline tour with Greyson Chance and shows alongside iCarly’s Miranda Cosgrove. This year, his singing went to the big screen: His remake of “I Want Candy” by The Strangeloves is the main theme song for the Easter-themed animated film Hop, now available on DVD!
We caught up with Cody fresh off his “Welcome to Paradise” tour, in the midst of working on his upcoming album, Paradise, due out this summer. Check out the Q&A below and click through to watch a video of Cody recording “I Want Candy” in the studio! [See the Q&A]
