Jake Gyllenhaal was conspicuously absent for The Cinema Society's screening of his film, Brothers, in New York City. However, in his stead, his co-stars, Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire made their way along the red carpet for the event.

Tobey looked sleek in a trim black suit and wife, Jennifer Meyer, on his arm while Natalie opted for a brighter look in a deep violet, short poofy dress, a bright yellow clutch and purple peep-toe pumps.

Of course, the busy actress already has another project lined up. Recently, it was announced that Portman would star in Thor. Natalie explained her reason for considering the role by saying, "I just thought it sounded like a weird idea because Kenneth Branagh's directing it, so I was just like, 'Kenneth Branagh doing Thor is super-weird. I've gotta do it.'"

Speaking of super-weird, I'm still not used to Katharine McPhee's blond hair.

23-year-old Gossip Girl star, Leighton Meester, has certainly been vamping it up lately. The actress recently posed for a sexy photoshoot with her TV co-star, Ed Westwick and now, she's seen here, stepping out at the American Eagle Outfitters' Time Square store grand opening in a revealing black leather dress.

This outfit--that looks to be barely more than some strategically-placed bits of leather--ensures that Leighton has definitely moved out of the shadow of her high-profile co-star, Blake Lively, whose love for revealing fashion is matched only by Meester's.

Leighton's GG co-star, Michelle Trachtenberg, was no slouch in her turquoise mini dress and shite jacket, showing off some serious stilettos on her feet. Meanwhile, Jessica Szohr seems to be the only member of the cast who wasn't immune to the cold, stepping out in a coat, jeans and sweater. I predict she'll be the only one not catching a cold this season.

Gallery Info: Leighton Meester, Jessica Szhor, Pete Wentz, Adrian Grenier, Adrienne Bailon, Christian Siriano, Eric Mabius, Kristen Dalton, Michelle Trachtenberg, Richie Rich, Sebastian Stan and Matthew Settle at the American Eagle Outfitters' Times Square store grand opening in New York City.

Ashton Kutcher, who is married to actress Demi Moore, revealed he is far from getting embarrassed while taking his clothes off during filming.

"There is an initial apprehension. But once the crew has seen your business it's not like it's going to get any bigger or smaller. It's that bit you have to get over."

He added: "Getting up close to the actresses is the simple part. That is some of the easiest acting you have to do." Ashton had to deal with quite a bit of nudity in his latest film Spread, and if I must say so myself, he handled it quite well.

Gallery Info: Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Anne Heche, Margarita Levieva, Leighton Meester, Sebastian Stan, Jason Binn, Christina Cuomo, Donna Karan, Sarah Paxton, Nico Totorella, Ben Hollingsworth and Jordan Woolley at the The Screening of Spread hosted by Gotham & Hamptons Magazines.

I'm so sad they broke up.

It was a high school reunion for Chace Crawford this past weekend. The actor flew 15 high school and college friends from Dallas to New York to celebrate his 24th birthday. Also invited to the celebration we're his actor friends, Gossip Girl costar Sebastian Stan and actor Toby Hemingway. But no Ed Westwick. :-(

People reports that the whole gang then flew on V1 jets from the city out to Watermill, New York, where they stayed at some private digs for the weekend-long birthday bash. "It was the best birthday Chace ever had because he was amongst his closest friends," says the source.

The group barbequed, ate, drank, played games (I'm assuming Duck, Duck, Goose), went swimming and they chartered a speedboat and went out in kayaks.

Sounds like a swell time! Somewhere Ed Westwick is crying right now.

It's that time of the day for some gratuitous hot dude. Here's Olympic gold medalist swimmer Ryan Lochte. Why have we all been wasting time with that Michael Phelps person? Medals, schmedals. This is America. It's all about the face. Lochte appears in a GQ spread in the Jennifer Aniston covering her labia with an artfully tilted leg and a necktie issue.



Sources claim that the re-imagined Melrose Place that will follow in the footsteps of the terrible 90210 remake (seriously, it's like Ambien and Shanae Grimes just seems like she's an ass in real life, doesn't she? Does anyone else feel like she should be back in Canada somewhere, working at the Ferris Wheel at Niagra Falls and smoking a lot while she tries to seduce her married boss?) has a writer. The dude who created One Tree Hill, Mark Schwahn, is in negotiations to write the pilot. So yeah, enjoy the two episodes that air. Perhaps there will be a special DVD with the unaired third episode as a bonus feature.

Leighton Meester of Gossip Girl is NOT engaged to actor Sebastian Stan. Stan's rep says ""He is not engaged." Wow, creative. And apparently the "secret" Facebook pages that announced their engagement were fakes. So return your wedding gift. Oh, like we were all invited anyway. I bet Blair Waldorf's maid was, though.

Page Six is reporting that Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester and her boyfriend, actor Sebastian Stan, are engaged. The announcement was reportedly made on their secret Facebook pages. Meester's rep had "no comment."

Given the fact that Leighton is 21, and Sebastian is 25, I would wish them luck, but I know it won't do any good, so why bother?
