Now, I can’t claim I love Olivia Wilde so much because she once won a pancake eating contest but I can say for certain that is a big part of it. Any woman that would enter a pancake eating contest, let alone win one, is just fine in my books. I once entered a chicken wing eating contest. I lost miserably. Anyway, pancake eating prowess aside, I love Olivia Wilde because she’s talented, beautiful, funny and seems genuinely down to earth. I follow a lot of people on Twitter but Olivia is one of the rare few I actually look forward to new tweets from. These photos in Hawaii show yet one more thing I love about Olivia. She isn’t the kind of girl that feels compelled to wear makeup to the beach just in case she’s photographed. Of course, Olivia doesn’t need makeup to be beautiful and I’m sure she knows that but it’s refreshing to see all the same. I would say this woman is a great example of natural beauty. She looks great with makeup, without makeup, fully dressed, in a bikini … it doesn’t matter. She’s just stunning. I love her.

I know, I know. I might be one of the only people in the world that isn’t completely bananas over Blake Lively. I think she’s pretty and all but she isn’t one of my absolute favorites. Here at the Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the real star of the photos is Blake’s dress. It’s absolutely stunning and was the perfect choice for her. It’s dramatic and eye catching and it flatters her beautifully. I’m not sure she chose to pair it with the right hair, jewelry and makeup though. I’m sure it was a calculated decision though. By keeping everything else mostly minimal, the focus is on the dress, which is great, but maybe a little hair framing her face would’ve been more complimentary. And the earrings …. not sure about the earrings. The dress might’ve worked better with something a little more understated. Of course, all those things aside, she still looks incredible. I just think without a few different choices, she could’ve looked even better.

Barbara Palvin is most definitely one of my favorite up and coming models and shots like these from her Victoria’s Secret Photoshoots are a great example of why that is. She’s such a beautiful young woman with such an ease in front of the cameras. I love the way she can be flirty and cute in one photo then sensual and sexy in the next. While that might not seem like a big accomplishment for some, it really is. There are a lot of models that can’t pull those different personas off. I think Barbara has the potential to be very successful in this industry for years to come. I just hope she manages to avoid getting tangled up in any more scandals. Scandals may get one more attention but that’s short term. If Barbara wants a long career, the focus needs to be on her work and what she does professionally not what she does in her private life.

I know I’m supposed to be staring at Paris Hilton in these photos from Roberto Cavalli’s boat party in Cannes but I can’t stop looking at her boyfriend, whose name I’ve already forgotten. That is a pretty, pretty man. I’m not sure I love his super clean cut look. I like men that look a bit messier but he’s still a very attractive young man. He really hit the jackpot with Hilton too. Look at the way she’s looking at him. She seems pretty into him and I have to admit, that’s nice to see. Paris kind of has a reputation for going through men fairly quickly. I get that there’s an age difference at play here that seems to have people thinking this will never last but I don’t think age matters all that much. He seems a little more interested in the cameras than spending time with Paris but looks can be deceiving. He is a model after all. Why not take advantage of a little additional press exposure. I’m not going to be all jaded and cynical over these two. Maybe they’re the real deal. Fingers crossed … for both of them. After all, getting famous for being Paris Hilton’s boyfriend doesn’t necessarily mean great things for one’s career, especially if the relationship ends.

I know Denise Richards has made some questionable choices in her personal life but she really seems to have come a long way since all of that. She seems strong and mature, a great presence in her children’s life and apparently the lives of her ex-huband’s children as well. It takes a special kind of person to take your ex’s kids into your home when they’re in need of a little security but Denise is certainly that kind of special person. I love her – always have – and these photos are fantastic. First, if a photo set features Denise in a bikini, I will certainly love them. Second, it’s nice to see her relaxing. It’s always nice to see her having a little fun in the sun, in this case, at Beverly Hills Hotel in LA. I hope for nothing but the best for Denise and her family.

Just the other day, I talked in great length about my love, respect and admiration for Petra Nemvoca. Imagine my surprise when I opened these photos of Petra at Cannes and discovered I’m not absolutely in love with them. Petra is a beautiful girl and I do enjoy these photos but they don’t really look like her – at least not her as I’ve come to expect her to look. I actually had to image search these photos to make sure they weren’t tagged incorrectly. As I’ve mentioned before, I do sometimes have a hard time with faces so maybe that’s the problem here. All in all, she still looks very pretty. There’s just something about these photos that doesn’t do it for me. I’m sure I’ll love the next set twice as much to make up for this one.
