...and Padma and even Anne. In the most recent issue of
Allure, I read a cool tip that Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi follows to create Sophia Loren-esque eyes. First, she starts by applying some black eyeliner to her lash line, then adds a blue liner on top.

Kate Hudson and Fergie have been busy filming
Nine in London, but yesterday they took a break for dinner at Cipriani with a few of their fellow costars. It must be fun hanging out and making new friends, and judging from Kate's big grin, there's been plenty of laughs to be had during their time overseas. While we can't wait to see the eclectic cast showing off their skills for the musical movie, for now the girls seem to be having a ball just hanging out and
enjoying London's nightlife.

London's Cipriani restaurant played host to several stars of upcoming movie musical
Nine last night. Producer Harvey Weinstein brought together Dame Judi Dench, Kate Hudson, Sophia Loren, Marion Cotillard and Fergie for dinner, before shooting starts
in a few days time. The film will be directed by Rob Marshall and follows a famous film director (Daniel Day-Lewis) as he searches for harmony in his professional and personal lives, spanning relationships with his wife, his mother, his mistress, his muse and his agent.
Sophia Loren has been gracing the silver screen for upwards of five decades with her voluptuous figure, toothy grin, flawless Italian skin, and mesmerizing eyes. Born in Rome in 1938 on the cusp of WWII, her early years were spent in the war-torn town of Pozzuoli, hiding in bomb shelters and helping her mother and sisters care for injured soldiers. She fell deeply in love with acting at age 11 during Hollywood movie night at the only theater in town.

Being the
celebrity clone-finder that I am, I have a fresh bunch of celebrity clones for you. First up, model Lisa Cant and actress Alexis Bledel. The similarity in their big, round baby blue eyes is undeniable, as is their rounded facial structure and fair skin.

The Armani and Dior Paris Fashion Week shows brought out some classy dressed ladies like the always impeccably dressed Diane Kruger. Also looking her best was Dita Von Teese who announced her latest venture in lingerie yesterday. The burlesque beauty will be
designing for Wonderbra.

Celebs headed to Germany for the 2007 Bambi Awards in Düsseldorf this evening. Katie Holmes' shocking new hair was the excitement of the red carpet, but back to that in a second. Eva Longoria, who accepted the award for Best International TV Series, looked old Hollywood glam.

Get a load of these beauties from around the world. Famous actresses such as Debbie Matenopolous (Greek-American), Catherine Deneuve (French), Sophia Loren (Italian), Lucy Liu (Chinese-American) and Gisele Bundchen (Brazilian) all epitomize the beauty traits that each of these countries are known for.
Now, it's not like I've trotted the globe trying all of the latest and greatest beauty treatments (although that would be a dream come true) but I have had the opportunity to try out some of the great imports that have crossed oceans to get to the United States.

This month, traditional British brand
Aquascutum is
launching a limited edition collection of coats and trenches inspired by designs from the 30s through the 50s.
The Aquascutum Vintage collection will include pieces worn by past Aquascutum fans and icons like
Marlene Dietrich, Bette Davis, Audrey Hepburn, and Sophia Loren, and will be sold in the U.S. exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman.

I think the quality of sexiness comes from within. It is something that is in you or it isn't and it really doesn't have much to do with breasts or thighs or the pout of your lips. ~ Sophia Loren
