Scarlett Johansson gets sexy for Mango again

Actress Scarlett Johansson has delivered in spades since Mango hired her to rep for their fashion line three years ago. Her star keeps getting brighter in Hollywood. And, she couldn’t look hotter in new photos.

Johansson last star turn was in “Iron Man 2,” where she virtually stole the movie as Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow.

She played against some actors with pretty solid cred, like Robert Downey Jr., Mickey Rourke and Gwyneth Paltrow.

She’s next set to star again with Downey and Chris Evans in “The Avengers,” a reprise of the ’60s television show, slated for release in 2012.

More immediately, she’ll be hosting NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” when the show returns Nov. 13 with musical guest Arcade Fire. It will be her third appearance.

Johannson’s sultry looks have been tapped for advertising campaigns by Calvin Klein, L’Oréal and Louis Vuitton.

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana invited her to join them at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala last year, and were so smitten by her. they made her the face of the new Dolce & Gabbana make-up collection in early 2009.

Scarlett also presented at the Mango Fashion Awards held at the National Art Museum of Catalonia last Wednesday (Oct. 20) in Barcelona, Spain.

This is the third time the actress has launched the firm’s new designs.

The photo shoot took place in a London mansion, and photographer Mario Sorrenti was behind the lens.

Jane How was responsible for the styling, while Lucía Pieroni handled make-up and and Oribe hair styling.

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS, Adrienne Maloof and Kyle Jealous of Sexy Camille?

Camille Grammer, the femme fatale is stirring up some major drama on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Especially between Adrienne Maloof and her plastic surgery husband, Dr. Paul Nassif. The cat claws came out this week, during a wild weekend in Las Vegas at the Maloof family owned Palms Casino. Adrienne Maloof’s hubby Dr. Paul, couldn’t stop drooling over Camille’s Grammer’s sexy stripper moves and busty tata’s.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills hit a Jay Z concert, compliments of Adrienne Maloof and her brothers. It was an interesting weekend in Vegas, with Kim Richards and Camille Grammer playing third wheels to the married couples. It’s pretty obvious that Kyle Richards and Adrienna Maloof are SUPER jealous of Camille. She’s wild, she’s a guys girl and loves to chat up the boys. Plus, now that she’s single and MEGA rich, she will be one hot commodity on the 90210 dating market.

Astrochicks finds the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills marriages fascinating. Kyle and Lisa seem to think that Taylor Armstrong is so hot, not really ladies. Her face looks like it has been smashed against a window, most guys would not find her attractive, unless you like ducks. Neither did her rich husband Richard, who she had to chase for three months before he would even take her out.

Lisa Vanderpump appears to have the most normal marriage, her husband is handsome and charming in a British sort of way. He’s definitely in love with his Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, it they could only get rid of her gay boy toy that lives at the house.

Kyle Richards, the Capricorn girl of the bunch, has a hot hubby, Maurizio Umansky. He’s real estate broker for $20 million dollar plus homes, in the wonderful world of Beverly Hills and caters to celebrities. Kyle trusts her husband but doesn’t trust other woman, which is pretty smart in Hollywood. Hot and rich is hard to come by in Beverly Hills, if I were Kyle I would hold on to my guy tightly.

I don’t think Kyle Richards has anything to worry about when it comes to Camille Grammer, she’s not Maurizio’s type. On the other hand, Real Housewive of Beverly Hills Adrienne Maloof Nassif needs to keep an eye on her hubby. Dr. Paul seems to be desperate for her attention and she tends to ignore him. Astrochicks predicts at least one more divorce by next season. Stay tuned.

Ronaldo's girl sizzles in Italian lingerie brand's latest designs



RUSSIAN beauty Irina Shayk is stamping her authority as an official ambass-adorable model.

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend has previously admitted she's no footie fan but still has an eye for an attacking formation — with her two best assets up front.

Irina, 24, is the official ambassador for Italian lingerie brand Intimissimi and she sizzles in their latest designs.

And the striker's poses are sure to catch the eye of winger Ronaldo.

The couple have been dating since January and have remained close despite him becoming a dad with a mystery woman.

The Portugal captain, 25, announced the birth of his son - also named Cristiano - on Twitter and Facebook in July.

The footballer has exclusive custody of the baby boy, born on June 17 to an American waitress.

Bra art competition raises breast cancer awareness

When it comes to breast cancer, anything can spread awareness, even a pitchfork or a mound of spray insulation.

On Friday, a menagerie of mundane items became works of “bra art” for the first Designer Cup Challenge Bra Art Competition at Robinwood Medical Center in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Holly Luther, community health educator, said the Washington County Cancer Coalition sponsored the event, which featured 17 works of bra art, plus pieces by a local metal artist.

Bra art shows have been supporting cancer awareness nationwide and Luther said she wanted to give it a try in Washington County this year.

Both groups and individuals could submit a bra for the event, which also was a competition.

Seven judges evaluated the art, awarding first- through third-place winners for group and individual entries.

Ad Fulton, who lost his first wife, Barbara, to breast cancer, was one of the judges.

While Fulton said he wasn’t the most qualified judge, he acknowledged the importance of events such as the bra art competition.

“It’s all (so) someday, we can be rid of this terrible disease,” he said.

Verda Henry of Mercersburg, Pa., won first place in the individual category with her Cupcake Bra.

Henry, a mammographer at Robinwood, said there were specific guidelines for turning the bra into a work of art, including the size and material.

Inspired by her niece’s bakery website, Henry said she used spray insulation, straight pins and cupcake papers to turn her bra into cupcakes.

“On the home page of my niece’s website, it said, ‘Life’s uncertain. Eat dessert first,’” she said. Those are words to live by, she said.

Millions have been touched by breast cancer, including metal artist Scott Cawood of Antietam, who makes bra sculptures from scrap metal.

Connected to the disease through his mother, Dorothy Cawood, who is a breast cancer survivor, Cawood brought some of the bras he crafted using items such as nails, machine shims, bicycle chains, pitchforks and metal shelving to the event.

Looking at all of the bras in the room, each a thing of unique beauty, was an emotional experience, Luther said.

Especially looking at the bra made by the teenagers of Girls Inc., she said.

“To me, to know our next generation is intent on spreading the prevention message is inspirational,” she said.

In addition to the display of bra art, numerous community organizations set up tables with literature on breast cancer services, she said.

A pink afghan made by a patient at the John R. Marsh Cancer Center also was raffled to raise money.
