One of the first things viewers will notice in Vogue’s premiere episode of its new cooking web series is guest Blake Lively’s gorgeous and ginormous rock.

With the obvious out of the way, we also learn that the former Gossip Girl star is skilled at cracking eggs with one hand, isn’t a fan of alcohol and hardly follows a recipe.

“Elettra’s Goodness,” hosted by model Elettra Wiedemann, kicked off on Friday with an episode filmed at the Bedford Post Inn in upstate New York.

The ladies go on to make a mean puff pastry with brie, shallots and other fancy ingredients while talking about Lively’s new home she shares with hubby Ryan Reynolds, her butterscotch lesson from New York eatery Per Se and the sweet, sweet smell of shallots.

Ah, the Costume Institute Gala.  A night bursting at the seams with couture gowns, low blood sugar and too many bobby pins.

The fasting and primping make it all worthwhile the moment our favorite celebrities step out of their cars and onto the Met’s red carpet.  For this event has fast become fashion’s biggest night.

I shant lie, tonight was a tough call on who deserved to make our best dressed list.  Emmy Rossum almost made it, but I wasn’t too in love with the sheerness of her skirt.

Call it catty, but there was a lot of competition tonight.  JLo was there, for crying in the mud!

Then Mindy Kaling showed up in a custom-made Lela Rose gown with B.J. Novak (In Florsheim by Duckie Brown Beaded Brogues) and I was like OMFG.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds got friendly with a giant sloth on Sunday afternoon. While they hit the red carpet separately, the couple was all smiles for the New York premiere of Reynolds’ new animated film The Croods.

His co-stars Emma Stone, Nicolas Cage and Catherine Keener were also on hand for the red carpet affair at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13 theater.

The Croods tells the story of a caveman (Cage) who struggles to cope with his surroundings after an earthquake ruins the only home he’s known. Reynolds plays Guy, a cave boy who has a sloth named Belt as a BFF.

Lively, 25, wore a gorgeous maroon Marios Schwab dress with white pumps while her husband of nearly six months kept things casual in a navy blue sweater and pinstripe pants.

Reynolds and Stone recently stopped by The Today Show to talk about the film and what it was like to record for their characters.

“What other kind of showbiz job do you get to roll out of bed in a muumuu and a scrunchie and jump in a booth and just have fun?” he said.

The Croods opens in theaters Mar. 27.

From holding babies to petting tarantulas, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have been making the most of their down time in Canada.

The same day that the happy couple was snapped cradling newborns at the local Sudbury hospital Feb. 24, they headed to the Science North center across the street to play with cuddly creatures of a different kind — wild animals! — and Celebuzz has a photo of the superstars donning their lab coats.

And there’s a special reason for the blue attire.

The husband and wife, who tied the knot last September, were accompanied by Reynolds’ Queen of the Night co-star Kevin Durand and all participated in a flying squirrel demonstration.

“They wanted to visit because they had heard about the flying squirrels,” Stephanie Deshenes, marketing manager at Science North, told Celebuzz.

“We knew they were coming. They’ve been having trouble with photographers following them so we arranged a private tour after hours.

“Squirrels are nocturnal so what we do is we stand on our platform and they glide through the air to the blue coat where they landed on Blake and Ryan. They had so much fun.”

But it was the eight-legged creature that — not surprisingly — took a liking to the 25-year-old blonde beauty during their two-hour adventure.

“They each held a tarantula — and it really seemed to like Blake the best,” Deshenes added with a laugh.

“Usually, they just sit and are used to being held. So it isn’t very often that they crawl around and it was doing that with Blake. Even when they were trying to hand it off to Ryan, it was trying to come back to Blake.”

And Mrs. Reynolds wasn’t even squeamish. In fact, the whole thing was her idea.

“Blake wanted to do it and jumped at the chance. They were very adventurous about being here,” Deshenes said of the famous visitors, who also got to meet the beaver and porcupine animal ambassadors.

“It was just a fun outing for them.

“They were totally normal people just having a good time. And it was fun to walk through with them. They were so easy to talk to and really enjoyed all the animals they met.”

Sure, the Academy Awards is unquestionably the biggest night in Hollywood — but not every celebrity was partying it up in Hollywood on Sunday.

Case in point: Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, who spent their Oscars weekend paying a visit to a children’s hospital in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, where Reynolds is filming Queen of the Night.

Photos of the newlyweds were posted on Health Sciences North’s Facebook page Sunday, in which Reynolds and Lively are seen holding a baby.

“I can tell you the visit was really appreciated by the kids, their parents, and the staff on the unit,” a spokesperson for the hospital wrote on Sunday. “Mr. Reynolds and Ms. Lively were wonderful with the children.”

Since they married on Sept. 9 at Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., Lively, 25, and Reynolds, 36, have kept a relatively low-key profile.

In October they were photographed at the wedding of David Cross and Amber Tamblyn, with whom Lively worked on the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants film series.

Check out photos from their visit to the hospital in the gallery, above.

Is this Hitchcock star getting hitched?

Scarlett Johansson was spotted walking around New York City’s East Village on Monday alongside her French journalist beau Romain Dauriac with what appears to be some serious bling on her ring finger.

But don’t be fooled by the rock that she’s got. The 28-year-old is not walking down the aisle any time soon, according to her rep.

“She is not engaged,” her rep told Celebuzz.

The Iron Man actress has been quietly dating Dauriac, who manages modern artists in his hometown of Paris, since October 2012.

The two were first spotted grabbing lunch at NYC’s La Esquina restaurant a mere weeks after she split from ex-boyfriend, ad exec Nate Naylor.

The two reportedly bonded with the help of her Frenchman’s close friend, French tattoo and graffiti artist Fuzi Uvtpk, who gave Johansson a “Lucky You” tattoo on her back in November.

Johansson recently opened up about her two-year marriage to Ryan Reynolds in the January issue of Elle UK.

“I got married when I was young, but it’s different,” she revealed to the mag. “It’s hard to put into words. To me, being in a functioning relationship doesn’t mean you have to be married.”

The blonde beauty added that she has no plans to take the plunge for the second time in the near future.

“I never think about marriage. Is that weird? The only time I ever think about it is when people ask me, ‘Would I get married again?’” she continued. “It’s really not important to me. It has no relevance to me right now. I’m not having kids anytime soon, I’m in a nice relationship, I’m working a lot, and, like I said, it’s not important to me.”

Reynolds has also moved on since their 2010 divorce, secretly tying the knot with Gossip Girl star Blake Lively in South Carolina after a whirlwind year-long romance.

Do you see ScarJo and Romain making it to the altar? Sound off in the comments section below.

First, Celebuzz showed you the shortest men in Hollywood. Well, now, we’re taking a look at some famous ladies who quite literally take fame to new heights.

Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron and Kristen Johnston are just a handful of the tallest women in showbusiness today, stars who make even men on the taller side look average in height.

Among our favorites: Jordin Sparks, who tops out at an impressive 6’0″; two-time Oscar nominee Janet McTeer, who stands tall at 6’1′; and our personal favorite, Glee star Dot Jones, who is — wait for it — 6’3″.

And that’s just the beginning.

Celebuzz has compiled a line-up of the tallest ladies in the biz, available in this handy-dandy infographic, below.

The end of a hit show, a major ad campaign and a wedding. For Blake Lively, 2012 was all about major beginnings and endings.

In June, the Gossip Girl actress — who ranks 18th on Celebuzz’s Hollywood Power Index — was named as the face of Gucci’s new fragrance, Gucci Premiere. The luxury retailer approach the star due to her “extraordinary beauty” and love of fashion.

“Although she’s young, she’s also very determined,” Gucci creative director Frida Giannini said last year, “and I liked this spirit … She knows how to be a diva in the right sense, with an aspirational glamour.”

Days after celebrating the launch of the fragrance at the 2012 Venice Film Festival, the actress wed her Green Lantern co-star Ryan Reynolds, 35 on September 9, 2012 in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. The pair — who met on the set of the 2011 superhero flick — made a major leap in their relationship three months prior to the nuptials. The couple invested in a country home in Bedford, N.Y., estimated to be worth up to $2 million — the same price Lively’s hubby spent on her oval cut diamond, roughly 12 ‘carat total weight’ wedding ring.

Just a day after the hush-hush ceremony, it was business as usual for Lively. Returning to the New York City set of Gossip Girl that Monday, the star shot scenes for the sixth and final season of the series that made her a household name.

As the saying goes, when one door closes another opens. As the actress proved in Oliver Stone‘s Savages, she can do much more than just play the privileged Serena van der Woodsen. Take it from her co-star, Salma Hayek:

“It was really fun to work with someone so professional, and so smart and with a director [Oliver Stone] who gave us so much space to really create and be apart of it,” the actress told Celebuzz. “But also, when you are with a lot of boys it’s great to have a sister, you know, to be there with you.”

Launch the video above to watch as Celebuzz’s experts dish on Lively’s star power and future success. 

These days, it takes way more than talent and good looks to become an entertainment superstar.

To be considered a power player in Hollywood, a celebrity has to have millions of Twitter followers, paparazzi appeal, a best-selling fragrance or fashion line or major accolades from their respected peers; and if a star is smart, they already have established a combination of all of the above.

Certainly, the next 10 stars on Celebuzz’s Hollywood Power Index are well on their way to achieving all of this — and more. Just look at No. 20 on our list, Anne Hathaway, who is less than two weeks away from winning an Oscar for Les Misearbles.

Who else made this week’s countdown?

Have a look now in the gallery, above, as Celebuzz gets closer to naming the most-powerful celebrity in Hollywood under the age of 30.

What do Snooki, Jessica Simpson and Kylie and Kendall Jenner all have in common?

Besides their history with reality TV — all four ladies have at one point or another shouted cheers from the bleachers, the field or on top of the pyramid, with pom poms in tow.

As San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens fans across the country count down the last hours until kick off, Celebuzz is taking a trip down memory lane — and in some cases, right into some stars’ yearbook pages.

Long before she took home the Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild (and come Feb. 24, maybe Oscar?) for Best Actress, Silver Linings Playbook star Jennifer Lawrence donned a cheer outfit for Kammerer Middle School as a seventh grader in Louisville, KY.

Before making her mark in the soap opera world and eventually, the Live! stage, Kelly Ripa cheered for Eastern Regional High School in Voorhees, New Jersey.

Blake Lively spent her senior year at Burbank High School cheering for the home team in blue, white and black.

Dakota Fanning, Megan Fox and Olivia Munn were also cheerleaders way back when.

Check out the gallery, above for photos of celebrities in their cheerleading uniforms. Did we miss anyone on the list? Weigh in below.

From colorful rings to traditional baubles, Hollywood’s brides-to-be made quite a sparkly statement in 2012.

The past 12 months have showcased a number of notable jewelry ranging from Blake Lively‘s light pink diamond ring, Halle Berry‘s emerald dazzler, and, most recently, Kelly Clarkson‘s canary diamond sparkler.

“It’s a yellow canary diamond with diamonds around it and Brandon designed it with Jonathan Arndt! They did an amazing job! I can’t wait to make Brandon’s ring with Jonathon as well!” Clarkson shared on her WhoSay account Saturday.

While many starlets opted for out-of-the-ordinary jewels, others kept it sweet and classic, like Angelina Jolie‘s custom-cut stunner from Brad Pitt and Avril Lavigne‘s 14-carat pear-shaped ring from Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger.

And with so many shapes and sizes to choose from, it’s no wonder why so many stars (and their hot fiancés) opt for the biggest and best engagement bling.

Given the fast-paced, round-the-clock world we live in, it’s always surprising when a high-profile Hollywood celebrity manages to pull off a secret wedding.

Oscar-winning beauty Kate Winslet did just that when she married longtime beau Ned Rocknroll earlier this month in New York. (According to reports, not even the couple’s parents knew about the ceremony. In fact, Winslet’s Titanic co-star Leonardo DiCaprio gave her away, instead.)

In fact, many celebrities tied the knot this year without all of the magazine covers and media hoopla to prove it.

Pulling a similar move in September were Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, whose intimate South Carolina nuptials were so low-key, the couple still hasn’t really addressed the ceremony to the media.

Which other stars have managed to marry in secret?

Get your jaws ready to drop, because Celebuzz has pulled together the eight most-memorable private ceremonies.

Check them out in the gallery, above.
