• Emily Blunt Hosts Holiday Shoe Launch Party

Posted in Recent Headlines
This post was written by Grace

The holidays are approaching and what better way to ring in the New Year than with a sassy new pair of kicks? Credit celebrity stylist extraordinaire, Jessica Paster, who is launching her first holiday collection for the online shopping site, JustFab.com. ET caught up with Jessica at her launch party, which was hosted by Emily Blunt, to check out the collection.

“The Winter Collection” is a kaleidoscope of shoes and clutches in deep purples, hues of red and coral, and forest greens accented by leopard and lace patterns. In true holiday spirit, you’ll also find a variety of gold, silver and black sparkle, satin straps, bejeweled bows and a clever mixture of textures to compliment any holiday look. “I think that designers are getting a little more crafty with their design,” Jessica explained, which, in addition to “holiday” style, is part of the inspiration behind her frisky use of texture and color for this collection.

The hot item is the black velvet knee high “Angelina” boots. It being Jessica’s favorite piece from the collection, she sure had no hesitation towards making sure it was the shoe to include. “I mean I fought for those boots to get them. We’re selling them for $49.95, but I think they cost a lot more,” Jessica giggled sheepishly. “I begged them to get it. They’re actually our best sellers.”

Emily Blunt, a longtime friend and client of Jessica’s, hosted the launch party wearing a menswear inspired Tom Ford pant suit with the “Malika” shoe — a fierce black satin peep toe pump embellished with a bejeweled bow. “What I love about [The Winter Collection] is that I think they represent her. Which is a person who generally likes to make people feel great, and beautiful, and elegant, and that’s what the shoes represent,” Emily explained. “They’re really fun and flirty. There’s a shoe for everyone, which I love.”

Hilary Duff also came out to support Jessica’s launch. “These shoes are great because they’re all very sparkly so it adds a pop to your look, and I think that’s really good,” she said. Hilary and husband Mike Comrie are expecting a baby boy this winter and she feels lucky to still be wearing heels this far into her pregnancy: “My pregnancy has been super easy and my feet aren’t swollen yet so I’m still rocking heels!” Hilary wore the silver “Carrigan” peep toe pump.

Jessica isn’t just on the “cutting edge” of fashion, she is, in fact “cutting the edge” herself. Make sure to check out www.JustFab.com to find your perfect holiday shoe so you can start “cutting the edge” of fashion too!

• Firth Stans Are Legit Crazy; Pope Catholic, Bear Shits in Woods

Posted in Recent Headlines
This post was written by Grace

The News & Observer caption reads: “Emily Blunt and Colin Firth share a laugh during a break in filming the upcoming movie “Arthur Newman, Golf Pro” at Nash Square on McDowell.” Honestly, it looks like Emily Blunt overheard the Firth stans being interviewed and is relaying that information to him. Because he looks concerned for his safety.

Colin Firth and two actress nobody actually cares about filmed some scenes in Raleigh, North Carolina today. Please enjoy some photos and also the ramblings of a certified crazy person.

Raleigh police blocked streets and kept crowds at bay today [thank god for that, lbr] as actors Colin Firth, Emily Blunt and Anne Heche made movie magic in downtown Raleigh.

“Arthur Newman, Golf Pro,” directed by Dante Ariola, is described as a dark comedy about a man who is unhappy with his life and despised by his family. So he fakes his death and assumes a new identity in a new town. Blunt’s character is also running from her past, and the two of them begin breaking into empty homes pretending to be the absent owners.

Firth fans far outnumbered fans Blunt and Heche fans throughout the day. [You don't say.]

Connie Crumpler and Bethany Schuelke both took half a vacation day from their jobs at Lawyers Mutual Insurance Company in Cary to stake out a spot near the filming. [I hope their boss sees this, and I hope they get fired.] Both are big fans of Firth’s work as Mr. Darcy in the 1995 BBC miniseries “Pride and Prejudice,” which has a cult-like following.

Tricia Keipper of Wake Forest is also a dedicated Darcy fan. “I have him photoshopped into my wedding pictures,” she said, producing a photo of her and her husband with Firth as Mr. Darcy in the middle. [Well, at least she didn't superimpose Firth's face over her husband's, right??? And I want to know if this a wallet-sized photo and if she carries it with her always. I bet she does.]

“My husband thinks I’m crazy,” she said. [He's not the only one.]

“Arthur Newman, Golf Pro” will film scenes at the N.C. School of Science and Math in Durham on Thursday. Other North Carolina movie locations include Wilmington, Carolina Beach, Currie, Wallace, Fairmont, Lumberton and Graham. [I have class tomorrow. Someone else, put on ur stalking shoes.]

• Emily Blunt face of YSL

Posted in Recent Headlines
This post was written by Grace

Emily Blunt has been unveiled at the new face of Yves Saint Laurent.

The British actress is the celebrity ambassador for the French fashion house’s signature fragrance, Opium Eau de Parfum.

Renaud de Lesquen, president of YSL & Designer Brands says the new campaign will “unveil a fiery, almost reckless woman with magnetic seduction that nobody or nothing can resist”.

Bosses at the luxury brand thinks Emily personifies this fantasy woman, and the stunning star couldn’t be more thrilled.

“I am very honoured to have been chosen to be the face of Opium,” she told British newspaper The Telegraph.

“It is really exciting to embody a fragrance which has stood the test of time without its allure ever being diminished”.

Emily is famed for her classic English rose aesthetic. The 28-year-old star worked with director Romain Gavras and photographer Patrick Demarchelier on the campaign, which airs in October.

Opium is a long-running fragrance of YSL’s luxury brand. It was unveiled in 1977 by perfumer Jean-Louis Sieuzac and presented in a novel flacon by the legendary bottle designer Pierre Dinand. Its bottle has been updated a couple of times, but the scent remains unmodified and still embodies the legendary Seventies era.

• Emily Blunt in Guyism’s “The 66 Most Underrated Women of 2011″

This post was written by Grace

Emily Blunt is listed #13 on Guyism’s “The 66 most underrated women of 2011″.

13. Emily Blunt (2010 Rank: Unranked)

Blunt hasn’t played very many what we would call “sexy” roles in her film career. There have been flashes of her potential to be sure, but as a result the 28 year-old Brit is rarely mentioned when it comes to the sexiest celebrity females in the world. It’s an oversight we’d like to correct.

• The Top 15 Actresses Under 30: Emily Blunt

Posted in Recent Headlines
This post was written by Grace

We’ve run our annual “girl power” list for seven years now, and tweaked the rules from time to time – originally we had a top ten under 25, and last year we expanded that to a top 20 under 30.

This year we’re compromising on a top 15, in part because heavy-hitters like Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams (and this year’s discovery, Jessica Chastain) no longer qualify, but also because as yet, there is very little room to choose between the likes of Juno Temple, Blake Lively, Emily Browning, Felicity Jones and Zoe Kravitz. All are excellent prospects, but as yet none has really shown us more than flashes of potential. We’ve also sidelined some more established stars, like Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson for example, Abbie Cornish and Ellen Page… excellent actresses who command high salaries, but who haven’t shown us their best work this past year.

Better to consider this list a spot-check; a snapshot of whose careers are in the ascendant right now, based on the reception of their releases over the past 12 months, and on our best guesses about the projects they have lined up for the next year or so. To arrive at our rankings, we do look at the box office, and also at awards and critical reception – but also, less scientifically, we try to take the measure of career momentum by looking at the caliber of these actresses’ projects and collaborators, the kind of roles they they are playing and the buzz they are generating. It’s an inexact science to say the least, but if we have omitted True Grit discovery Hailee Steinfeld, for example, that’s not because she was less than terrific in the movie, it’s just that so far, there is no evidence this is anything more than a one-off, and we will have to wait and see if the planned Romeo And Juliet film she has lined up for 2012 proves otherwise.

06. Emily Blunt

Age: 28
2010 Ranking: 6

Credits: The Young Victoria, Sunshine Cleaning, The Devil Wears Prada, The Jane Austen Book Club, My Summer Of Love, Charlie Wilson’s War, Dan In Real Life.

Debits: The Wolfman, Wild Target

Blunt’s meteoric career faltered over the last couple of years with a series of not-so-great choices (The Wolfman, Gulliver’s Travels, Wild Target). But she was terrific in the adaptation of Philip K Dick’s The Adjustment Bureau, warm, funny and unpredictable – she even had chemistry with Matt Damon, which isn’t always easy. It wasn’t a huge hit, but it was enough to remind Hollywood why they were so excited by Blunt in the first place. Her crowded dance card includes Your Sister’s Sister from Humpday director Lynn Shelton, Lasse Hallstrom’s memorably monickered Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (opposite Ewan McGregor and scripted by Simon Beaufoy), a thriller – Looper – from Brick director Rian Johnson; and a rom-com from Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller.

• Emily Blunt New York Mag Interview

Posted in Interviews • Recent Headlines
This post was written by Grace

Some celebrities walk the red carpet at fund-raisers to give a charitable boost to their public personas, or because they know that there will be cameras there. Not Emily Blunt, who showed up at the American Institute for Stuttering 5th Annual Benefit Gala at the Tribeca Rooftop last night because she’s got a very personal connection to the subject: She used to be a stutterer, too.It may be hard to believe that an actress so facile with accents could ever have had a speaking problem, but as Blunt told Vulture, stuttering was a major issue for her while growing up — and in a way, she’s got her acting career to thank for helping ease her out of it.

This cause has been a personal experience for you?
Very much, yeah. I’m actually on the board for the American Institute for Stuttering. They honored me about two years ago, and since then I’ve really been a very active member for it, because I think they’re using revolutionary techniques to help people get through this really anguished struggle of having a stutter. I think they’ve had huge success with the methods that they’ve used. I wish to God I’d known about them as a kid, because I maybe would have avoided eight to nine years of it not being an easy time.

Up until what age?
I think it started to eke itself out; between the age of 7 and 14 was when it was really bad. And around 12 it was at its worst. Not an awkward age at all to be unable to speak. Some people can grow out of it. It’s easier for girls, funnily enough. Genetically, it’s more common in boys.

So what happened? Did you grow out of it?
It was a combination of a few things. One was just growing out of it. Another one was gaining some kind of confidence. I had a really amazing teacher at that age, when I was 12, and he was really kind and helpful and encouraged me to be in the class plays, which previously I had no interest in being in ’cause I couldn’t talk. He said, “Well, why don’t you try it in a different voice? Try to do a funny voice or an accent. Maybe that would help.” But it really did, I was actually able to speak fluently. Once you’re able to hear yourself speak fluently, albeit in a ridiculous accent, you gain the confidence to think this could happen again and again. It was easier after that night, of that school play. It all became a bit easier.

You sawThe King’s Speech, no?
I did. I absolutely loved it. It was the most authentic portrayal of a stutterer I have ever seen. I spoke to Colin about it and was in wonderment how he managed to do it. Apparently the screenwriter had also had a stutter, which was really helpful. He really managed to capture that hesitancy, that vocal-cords-locking-out syndrome that happens. What’s exciting about what Colin did was he actually put a face to stuttering, actually opened up people’s minds around the world to the plight of someone who has one. So I think a lot of stutterers are very grateful to that film and the awareness he brought.

Anything in particular you could relate to?
Yeah. Public speaking, that kind of thing. In a smaller way, I was asked to read out a poem to my class, which was terrifying. And it’s all relative. I wasn’t reading a speech to the entire country, but I was reading a poem to my class. But, equally terrifying, in a way.

And you’re about to make a dark comedy with Colin?
This autumn, yeah. It’s a very strange, beautiful film. Just me and him, effectively. [Laughs.]

What’s it been like filming in Michigan?
I like it! I mean, we’re filming in Ann Arbor, which is a college town, so there’s lots of fun restaurants and bars, and it’s a sweet little place. I’ve actually really liked it. Midwesterners are very friendly. They’re nice peeps.

Someone on Twitter saw you on a moped earlier today.
Out on what? Yes, yes! God, Twitter isterrifying. It terrifies me in that way! We did. We went and got meatballs on our Vespa. This place is amazing, we’ve just discovered. The Meatball Shop. The Lower East Side. The best. So good.

• John Krasinki & Emily Blunt Ready for Kids?

Posted in Recent Headlines
This post was written by Grace

John Krasinski and Emily Blunt make for one good-looking couple, that’s for sure.

So are the two, who tied the knot last July, ready to pass on their genetically gifted DNA by having kids…

“No, we’re definitely going to wait on that,” Krasinski told us recently at the Hollywood premiere of his new romantic comedy Something Borrowed. “I mean, hopefully we will at some point. [But] we’re waiting and definitely enjoying the honeymoon period if that’s what we can call it… It’s been a blast and I am so happy.”

So how big of a brood do they want?

“Definitely small,” The Office star revealed.

Speaking of little ones, Krasinski dished to us on his upcoming role in the star-studded—and kid-friendly—Muppets flick.

“The Muppets for me, it was probably me nagging Jason Segal over and over and saying, ‘If I’m not in that movie, I’ll actually kill him,’ ” Krasinski joked. “And he was nice enough to do that. I’m in a tiny part… with a couple of Muppets. It was awesome.”

• Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Joseph Gordon-Levitt In ‘Looper’

Posted in Recent Headlines
This post was written by Grace

We were a big fan of Rian Johnson’s teen noir Brick (albeit less of his indulgent Rachel Weisz-as-manic-pixie-dream-girl joint The Brothers Bloom), and it’s nice to see dude going futuristic, especially with these stars. FilmDistrict has just bought the rights to Johnson’s sci-fi Looper, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who played the protagonist in Brick, plus Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt and Paul Dano.

The Looper plot, via The Wrap:

Willis and Gordon-Levitt play the same character at different points in time. The film is set in the future, when a crime syndicate sends its victims back in time to be killed and disposed of. Gordon-Levitt plays the killer, but who then learns that one target, Willis, is a future version of himself.

Okay, so this sounds kind of like a meta-Minority Report. We trust Rian Johnson’s instincts, but we kinda wonder what Emily Blunt’s role is in the film. She told MTV’s movie blog that she plays “a really tough girl, sort of Midwestern, lives on a farm, [who] wields an ax and shoots a gun…” and describesLooper as set in a “post-apocalypto time travel, time-traveling world where it’s a dog-eat-dog world… And it’s set in sort of 2050 or 2060, that sort of time, when the world has gone to s***.”

Assuming the world doesn’t end on May 21st, 2011, we’ll check out Looper. You?

• John Krasinski Fell for Emily Blunt Right Away

Posted in Recent Headlines
This post was written by Grace

It sounds like the plot of a romantic comedy: John Krasinski wasn’t looking for love – but then he met Emily Blunt.

The Office actor, 31, says he knew right away when he met the actress, whom he married last July, that she was special.

“It was one of those things where I wasn’t really looking for a relationship and I was thinking I’m going to take my time in L.A.” Krasinski says on Wednesday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “Then I met her and I was so nervous. I was like, ‘Oh god, I think I’m going to fall in love with her.’ As I shook her hand I went, ‘I like you.’ ”

Krasinski – who currently stars in the romantic comedy Something Borrowedwith Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin – calls married life “awesome” and “amazing.”

He jokes that he wanted to pop the question to Blunt before she realized she could find an even better catch.

“I was like, I’m going to propose to her real fast before she wakes and was like, ‘What am I doing? I can have anybody,’ ” says Krasinski. “I was like, just put [on] this the ring. Shhh…”

On a serious note, Krasinski says their chemistry was immediately apparent. “It’s one of those things where as soon as you meet someone you kind of know.”

Asked if Blunt, 28, also knew Krasinski was The One, he says, “She says she does. So I’m going to take that as a yes.”

Krasinski and Blunt began dating in 2008 and got engaged in August 2009.

Emily Blunt: Tracy Anderson Workout

Before she married Office star John Krasinski last year, actress Emily Blunt went to work—with celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson. Known as the woman who sculpted the bodies of Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Shakira, Anderson put Blunt on a serious regimen of yoga and Pilates four and five times a week. “It’s so hard,” Blunt told HollywoodLife. “That’s a lot of cardio. It’s the most cripplingly difficult, [but] I actually enjoy it!”
