My Three Songs: 07/29/11

1. Tesla - Modern Day Cowboy
2. Pearl Jam - Daughter (from "Vs.")
3. Joe Satriani - Satch Boogie (from "Surfing with the Alien")

Theme: Cowboys & Aliens. The new movie from Iron Man director Jon Favreau, stars Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig. And just in case James Bond and Indiana Jones aren't enough to draw you to the theater, my future wife Olivia Wilde is apparently naked for some reason in the movie.

Who wore Gucci better?

Stars can’t get enough of Gucci's jewel-toned spring collection this season. Jennifer Lopez, Olivia Wilde, Kerry Washington and Charlotte Casiraghi were all spotted in the distinct designs. Jennifer attended a UNICEF luncheon in a bright green skirt and black top combo, offset with a tassel belt. Olivia wore the same colors, but in jumpsuit form, to a Vogue Paris event. Kerry went a sexier route, at a Mary J. Blige concert, in a piece similar to Jennifer's, but sans sleeves and with a daring neckline. Charlotte, on the other hand, strayed from the greens and opted for a pink-and-purple long-sleeved version with a bare midriff. All of the ladies also chose belts, shoes and clutches from the brand.

My personal favorite is Kerry Washington’s outfit, she looks so sexy on Gucci dress, wow.

What do you think, who wore Gucci better - the celebs above or me in H&M below? :D

Blue Wonder

Olivia Wilde has never believed in waiting. After graduating from Phillips Academy, in Andover, Massachusetts, she sidestepped college, took the stage name Wilde (yes, after Oscar), and headed west. At 19, following a six-month courtship, she married movie producer and director Tao Ruspoli, the son of the late Italian prince Dado Ruspoli. She is the daughter of Andrew and Leslie Cockburn, the investigative journalists and documentary-film makers, but she rejected the family trade in favor of a career in front of the camera. Breaking out as the provocative bisexual teenager on the television sensation The O.C. and then landing on another Fox hit series, House, she now finds herself, at 26, in the role of Hollywood’s next hot property. In December she will star opposite Jeff Bridges in TRON: Legacy. The first TRON (1982) revolves around hacker Kevin Flynn (Bridges), who is abducted into the virtual world of the computer and forced to fight his way out. Though it wasn’t a box-office smash, it was a forerunner in special effects and became a cult classic. Bridges reprises his role 28 years later. “I got to spend most of my time with Jeff—just learning from him, watching him, and listening to him,” says Wilde, who plays Quorra, his warrior protector. “Being able to shadow him was a master class in acting, and also in behaving.” After TRON, Wilde will appear with Harrison Ford in director Jon Favreau’s Cowboys & Aliens. “What’s great is that I don’t have to play the weeping lady in distress,” she says. “I get to play a pretty cool and powerful woman.” She adds, “I love the horses, I love the guns. For an actor, to be in a Western feels almost like a rite of passage. It’s uniquely American.”
