Gabrielle Chung — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 00:44:35 +0000

Coachella is underway and celebs everywhere flocked to its famous Neon Carnival on Saturday night. Hosted by A|X Armani Exchange and T-Mobile, the annual bash was packed with famous faces.

On-and-off couple Emma Roberts and Chord Overstreet took their rekindled romance to the star-studded event. Around this time last year, the two lovebirds were seen smooching at the carnival — and it looks like this year was no different!

“Emma and Chord arrived together,” a party guest told Celebuzz. “They were kissing by the bar.”

Who else was spotted at the event?

A very shaggy-haired Penn Badgley was practically inseparable from his longtime girlfriend, Zoe Kravtiz.

“They were together entire night — riding rides and looked like two little kids in love,” our insider said.

Meanwhile, Hollywood hotties like Usher, Kellan Lutz, Jessica Szohr, Camilla Belle, Gerard Butler, Shenae Grimes, Emile Hirsch, Mark Salling, and Revenge‘s Christa B. Allen were all out to mingle with fellow concert attendees.

Josh Duhamel’s Mohawk: When Bad Hair Happens to Hot Guys (PHOTOS)

Amanda Hasaka — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 21:15:38 +0000

Josh Duhamel with a mohawk? We never thought we’d see the day!

Los Angeles based radio station K-Earth 101 recently posted this photo of the hunky Transformers actor’s new ‘do, but don’t worry if you’re not digging it, it’s just for a movie! Josh just started filming Scenic Route, and took to the buzzers for this look.

Sadly, he’s not the only hot dude that has had issues with their coifs.

Footballer Tom Brady, rocker Pete Wentz and even Kellan’s Twilight co-star Cam Gigandet have all had hair experiments that went awry. Check out some more photos of hot dudes who experienced momentarily lapses of hair judgement in the gallery!

We’re not exactly sure why Josh needs a mohawk for his latest flick, but according to IMDB, Scenic Route (out in 2013) is about:

“The relationship between two old friends is tested as they are stranded in the desert.”

Celebuzz recently caught up with many of Hollywood’s finest –including Kristin Cavallari and Penn Badgley – during New York’s Fashion week, and asked them about the styles in their closet that they couldn’t live without. Click the pics to see what you need to bulk up your wardrobe!

What celeb style are you currently digging? Let us know in the comments!

In addition to his style must-haves, Penn also confessed what style he finds most attractive in a woman, saying:

Penn Badgley: I Like a Woman Who Has ‘Command Of Her Sexuality’ (PHOTOS)

Jackie Willis — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:33:38 +0000

We now know what Penn Badgley sees in Zoe Kravitz, besides her being gorgeous and talented. The Gossip Girl guy chatted with Celebuzz editor Amber James exclusively at the Rock & Republic For Kohl’s Fashion Week show, and opened up about his taste in women and his on and off screen love life. Swoon!

When asked about what he finds attractive in the opposite sex, the actor answered:

“That is such a hard question to answer… Someone with confidence and command of her sexuality.”

Penn has dated two fashionistas in his day, Blake Lively and now Zoe, so we had to ask: What style does he find most attractive on females?

He answered candidly, “It’s hard to nail just one down, but if her style is original and unique, it denotes confidence and individually. Honestly, I like it all depending on who it is.” As for his go-to style, “Black jeans, a shirt and a jacket. It’s pretty simple.”

Now for the Gossip Girl scoop! Though they haven’t rekindled their romance for quite some time, will we ever see Dan (Penn) and Serena (Blake) together again? The actor joked, “There is probably no hope for those two. (laughs) … Actually, we only get scripts week to week, so I don’t know what’s in store for Dan or the rest of the characters.”

Jackie Willis — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:39:11 +0000

It’s called The End of the Affair episode and it leaves Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) alone in a dressing room with Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) while wearing a wedding gown.

PDA Alert! Penn Badgley and Zoe Kravitz Get Close in Miami (PHOTOS)

Mike Hess — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 23:15:38 +0000

It seems as though Penn Badgley and girlfriend Zoe Kravitz have ditched chilly New York and flown south for the holidays.

The Gossip Girl star and his actress girlfriend (and yes, she’s the daughter of Lenny) were spotted looking like serious lovebirds as they enjoyed the warm Miami weather. The two snuggled and canoodled in their South Beach pool, with Zoe looking slim in her two-piece bikini and Penn letting his long hair loose.

Badgley has been in New York City in recent months filming for Gossip Girl, and his over-the-top hair is likely linked to his upcoming role as musician Jeff Buckley in a biopic about the singer’s tragic life.

Zoe has been enjoying her time on Californication as well as in the smash hit X-Men: First Class, which hit it big at the box office in 2011.

Because He’s Hot! ‘Gossip’ Guy Chace Crawford Suits Up For GQ’s Pop-Up Shop Party (PHOTOS)

Jackie Willis — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 14:52:24 +0000

It was a guys’ night out for the Gossip Girl guy Chace Crawford … sorta. The actor hit up GQ at PARK & BOND Holiday Pop-Shop Shop launch party on Wednesday, and was joined by talk show host Nate Berkus and a slew of other style-savvy GQ men. Despite the guy-centric event, Chace was seen on the arm of a female friend.

The actor was spotted with what looked to be Canadian model Amanda Laine, who was dressed in a super sexy LBD with leopard-print embellishments. The two got cozy next to the coat check, even stopping for pictures. As you may recall, Chace was just seen with Amanda at a hockey game at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, Nov. 29.

Doesn’t look like these two are afraid to go public about their romance! The hockey game was a double date with Chace’s GG costar Jessica Szohr seen holding hands with her Love Bite costar, British actor Luke Pasqualino.

Penn Badgley Reveals Scary Fan Moment with 50 Catholic Schoolgirls

Gabrielle Chung — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 21:40:37 +0000

Penn Badgley has had a lot of special moments with his Gossip Girl fans, but none was as scary as the run-in he had with 50 Catholic schoolgirls!

During a shoot at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, Penn ran into a crowd of “aggressive” fans outside of the museum’s steps.

“I tried to come down and wasn’t able to get to the Met because probably, like, 40 or 50 Catholic schoolgirls all swarmed me and pinned me up against a chain-link fence,” the actor told People, “At first, it was entertaining and then they started pulling at my clothes and it was a little aggressive.”

“This bodyguard came out of nowhere, reached out like I was holding on to a rock in raging rapids, and pulled me through it,” he said. “[It] was bizarre.”

Phew! What a close call!

Luckily for the actor, he’s now spoken for! Following a three years relationship with fellow Gossip Girl star Blake Lively, Badgley has settled down with actress Zoe Kravtiz. The couple has been going strong and is a staple on the GG set.

Penn Badgley Has Giggle Fit Filming ‘Gossip Girl’ (PHOTOS)

Wes Ferguson — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 18:51:06 +0000

We’re not sure what’s going on here, but it looks like Leighton Meester and and Penn Badgley are having a good day at work!

While shooting a street scene for Gossip Girl, Miss Meester must have hit Penn’s funny bone. The actor busted out into a giggle fit while filming, causing Leighton to crack a wry smile.

Looks like New York’s Upper East Side just got a little less stuffy.

Although Penn is quite the hottie, he’s not shy about admitting his fellow costars are pretty good looking too. In fact, he recently said on Regis and Kelly that his vote would go to Chace Crawford!

“If there were to be one Gossip guy hunk, I think it probably would be Chace,” he joked.

Penn Badgley and Zoe Kravitz Take a Scruffy Walk in NYC (PHOTOS)

Mike Hess — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 21:35:31 +0000

With the cooler temperatures bearing down on New York City, it’s time to break out the fall-to-winter gear, and for new couple Penn Badgley and Zoe Kravitz, that means going lumberjack casual.

Badgley’s usual chic and fashionable Gossip Girl style was definitely not in play as he and Zoe made their way across a Manhattan street. With a plaid lined shirt, fancy man scarf and bushy hair, Penn mixed up his styles while Zoe went for straight-up hipster casual in a camel-colored fleece robe-jacket, t-shirt and military green skull cap.

Penn and Zoe’s relationship is still fairly fresh news among Hollywood couples, and she is the actor’s first major relationship since his split from Gossip co-star Blake Lively. As for Zoe, she’s previously dated actor Michael Fassbender.

Former on and off screen couple Blake Lively and Penn Badgley reunited on the set of their show Gossip Girl as the two filmed scenes in NYC on Tuesday, Oct. 25. The two were spotted in their Serena and Dan mode as they sipped coffee.

Jeanette Castaneda — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 13:30:09 +0000

Action-packed adventure and spine-tingling feature films will take reign at the box office this weekend!

First up, we have the buzz-worthy third installment of the Paranormal Activity franchise, Paranormal Activity 3. This third installment serves as a prequel, set 18 years prior to beginning of the first two films. Young sisters, Kristi and Katie have encountered a spiritual entity lurking around their home.

If you scare easy than an action adventure flick might be a better choice. The Three Musketeers 3D is sure to bring thrills as the classic novel is brought to viewers in larger than life form. Orlando Bloom in 3D?! Sounds like this movie will be swashbuckling good time!

Also opening in limited release is the indie flick Martha Marcy May Marlene staring the lovely Elizabeth Olsen. Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think!

Finally, there is the loosely based on true events drama, Margin Call. This one stars heavy hitters such as Demi Moore, Kevin Spacey and Zachary Quinto as powerful executives facing a major financial downturn on Wall Street.

“If there were to be one Gossip guy hunk, I think it probably would be Chace,” he joked.

Kelly Ripa said she and Regis Philbin were avidly on Team Penn, to which he replied:

“We can all be divided. I’m more of a Chace guy, really,” Penn said with a smile.

All three of the Gossip men receive equal attention when it comes to female fan hysteria, Penn added. He went on to reveal his craziest fan incident while shooting the show in NYC and discussed his latest film, Margin Call.

Penn Badgley Recalls Being Bombarded By Catholic School Girls (VIDEO)

Steve DiCarlo — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 17:12:57 +0000

Penn Badgley is used to the limelight as he most recently received the shock of his life when he landed the role of late singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley in the indie biopic Greetings from Tim Buckley. However, the Gossip Girl guy recalled to Nylon Magazine about when he was first recognized by “60 or so Catholic school girls, and they were all wearing plaid skirts and white shirts.”

“They were like pulling off my scarf and my hat. One would yell and then the rest of them would start yelling. … I took a picture and the second they heard that, they were like, ‘BAH!’ They came and rushed me again.”

Penn added, half jokingly:

“That’s when the bodyguard came.”

As for his new role playing rock star Jeff Buckley, he recently said at a press conference, “I was absolutely devastatingly awestruck and ecstatic.”

Filming began this summer, and in talking with Nylon, Penn discussed the gravity of portraying the infamous musician who tragically drowned and earned great posthumous praise.

“It’s really heavy, and I know that when it’s over I’m just going to want to shave my head and jump out of a plane – with a parachute on,” he said. “It’s pretty moving, and transformative, and I could talk about it for hours.”

Are you excited to see Penn outside of his usual role of Dan Humphrey? Sound off in the comments below!

Relive Most Memorable ‘Gossip Girl’ Hookups (PHOTOS)

Jackie Willis — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 17:33:23 +0000

In honor of Gossip Girl’s season five premiere tonight, Sept. 26, we are counting down the show’s best hookups. Whether steamy, crowd-pleasing, or unexpected, we can always count on Gossip Girl to provide us with the most complicated love triangles, forbidden loves, and even threesomes! Click the pics and get a more detailed look into the hookups below!

10. Nate and Serena – While Nate (Chace Crawford) and Serena (Blake Lively) didn’t last too long into the series, this was a significant hookup that showed how Serena and Blair (Leighton Meester) are the ultimate frenemies. It tore the friendship apart but of course, the drama of the Upper East Side brought them back together again.

9. Blair and Nate - Eat your heart out Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick)! After a messy breakup, Nate and Blair rekindled their flame with a seriously naughty make out sesh. While it was fun at the time and the relationship was on-again off-again, the two were definitely not meant to be.

8. Jenny and Nate – While it lasted only a short time, Jenny (Taylor Momsen) and Nate’s relationship was definitely a memorable one thanks to the age difference and the fact that Nate was supposed to be Dan’s friend. Awkward!

7. Vanessa and Dan – Best friends turned friends with benefits. We all know that in real life, this never works, but it did not surprise us when it happened with Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) and Dan (Penn Badgley). After this romantic relationship, it was hard for them to ever get back on track.

6. Nate and Catherine the Duchess – Remember this one? Blair was dating Marcus, a lord. Meanwhile Marcus’ mother, a duchess, was getting naughty with Nate in the library! Talk about complicated!

5. Dan and Georgina – We all sat at home watching, screaming at our televisions, “DON’T DO IT!” We saw Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg) was crazy but Dan was blinded by her seductive ways. This hookup even led to Georgina announcing that her baby was his – which thankfully was just a lie.

4. Dan and Blair – A fairly new romance, that seems to have already passed. It all started with their internship at W Magazine and ended when they finally kissed and Blair “didn’t feel anything”. Oh well…more chance for Blair to get back with Chuck and Dan to get back with Serena!? Positive thinking.

3. Dan, Vanessa, and Olivia – We all know that college brings about new life experiences but we doubt Dan Humphrey had any idea he would find himself in the middle of a steamy threesome. Dan’s face is priceless when he finds himself watching Vanessa Abrams and guest star Olivia (Hilary Duff) making out right in from of him! Definitely a Gossip Girl hookup to remember.

2. Dan and Serena – Another crowd favorite, a beautiful couple who end up being step-siblings! Coming from opposite ends of Manhattan, Dan and Serena became fascinated with each other. Things fell apart when their parents got married, but we have never given up hope that the two will get back together. While it seems far-fetched at this point, the two are currently single. We can keep wishing!

1. Chuck and Blair – Ever since Chuck (Ed Westwick) opened up and said those three little words Blair needed to hear, this couple is arguably one of the favorites on television. With their scheming and conniving, Chuck and Blair always have always proven to be meant for each other, even if she is currently engaged to a prince.

There we have it. The upcoming season is sure to bring out even more memorable hookups so make sure to tune in Monday at 8 p.m. to The CW to see what will happen next!

‘Gossip Girl’ Cast: Who’s Pregnant This Season? (VIDEO)

Jackie Willis — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 18:08:17 +0000

With the premiere of Gossip Girl’s Season 5 upon us, there is a big elephant in the room. Someone is pregnant! The only clue we saw on the finale episode was Dorota throwing a positive pregnancy test into Blair’s trash, so rumors have been flying around all summer.

In this short but adorable video, the cast seems really excited about letting the world know who is actually pregnant. They cannot give many hints but Penn Badgley suggests Chace Crawford’s character, Nate, is expecting. Now that would be a twist no one saw coming.

Could it be Blair (Leighton Meester)? If so, then Chuck (Ed Westwick) would most likely be the baby daddy, leading to some major problems considering she is engaged to Prince Louis of Monaco. The characters are known for their countless hookups so it really could be any of them.
