Matt Damon almost makes pudgy cool for men



Notice anything different about Matt (soon to be former Sexiest Man Alive) Damon lately? No, it's not the Celtics hat (although: Yay Boston!) and yes, he's still wearing his wedding ring.

It's the jowls! He's packing on the weight, and it's not just a couple of sympathy pounds to go with his wife Luciana's pregnancy. In his own words, he's doughy.

Sure, it's for a movie role, but you know guys across the country will now be gesturing, with their beer hands, to their bellies and saying, "Hey, if it's good enough for Matt Damon's wife, it's good enough for you, babe."

Sigh. We hate the double standard, and will not condone his man fat. Male celebrities cannot start getting all real!

Take a page out of Hugh Jackman's book, Mr. Damon, and get back to us when you're ready to uphold your unrealistic expectations duties.

We said, Good Day, Sir!

Angelina Jolie's competition for hottest mama honors


We caught some heat for pointing out that Angelina Jolie looked awful -- no really, just terrible -- in that grey dress at the Cannes premiere of her new film, Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood.

That's fine. You're entitled to your opinions, and we love when you share them in the comments. Bring it on!

However, we also want to reiterate that our dismay was largely due to the fact that Angelina usually leads the pack when it comes to fashion fabulousness, even while pregnant.

She does have some competition. In the gallery, Angelina's best, plus nine ladies currently vying for the Hottest Mama, Summer 2008 title.

Roberto Cavalli moonstone ring is over the top fab


Roberto Cavalli is the designer of choice for divas like the Spice Girls, Beyonce, Mariah Carey and Heidi Klum. He inexplicably selected Amy Winehouse to be his latest muse/model.

Remember when he dressed up as Karl Lagerfeld for Halloween? He is Italian and he is bold.

Angelina Jolie's having twins and she STILL looks great



The 61st Cannes Film Festival is underway, and a very pregnant Angelina Jolie is on hand to promote her new animated flick, Kung Fu Panda. And, while she didn't give too much away about the film in an interview with co-star Jack Black, another secret was revealed, or, rather, confirmed -- she and Brad Pitt are expecting twins. To Angie's credit, she reacted gracefully to Jack spilling the baby beans -- check out the video here.

But hey, this is a style blog, so let's talk about how she looked (besides being pregnant), shall we?

Hot mama! Hollywood makes pregnancy look good

You already know that a baby bump (and the subsequent baby) seems to be one of the must-have accessories in Hollywood this year. You also probably know that looking fashionable into the third trimester is no easy feat -- however, stars like Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, and Jennifer Lopez have managed to look put together throughout their pregnancies.

Aside from the fact that they have a herd of stylists undoubtedly giving them a hand, how do they do it? Let me tell you -- they play up their assets. Whether they have copious amounts of cleavage, killer legs, or just have an amazing glow about them, these lovely ladies played up their pregnancies and looked great doing it. Look through the gallery for tips on how you can dress to the nines all nine months, too.

Celebrity mothers are into c-sections

We've already realized that having a baby is pretty much vital in Hollywood in order to get your name in the papers. Celebrity moms are willing to make that sacrifice, just as long as it doesn't mean tearing down there, if you know what I mean.

Christina Aguilera is the latest A-list mommy to opt for scheduling a c-section birth rather than waiting to find out if an object (ok, baby) the size of a large watermelon would fit through a tunnel the size of a small lemon. In an interview with Hello Magazine she explained the reasons behind her decision, "I didn't want any surprises. Honestly, I didn't want any [vaginal] tearing. I had heard horror stories of women going in and having to have an emergency C-section [anyway]. The hardest part was deciding on his birthday. I wanted to leave it up to fate, but at the same time I was ready to be done early!"

Victoria Beckham was the woman who started the "Too Posh to Push," trend in 1999 when she gave birth to Brooklyn via c-section. Other huge names in the industry that followed in her footsteps were Angelina Jolie who headed to Namibia for her c-section, and Britney Spears who was scared out of vaginal birth after her mom told her how much it hurt. Celebs have been quick to discuss c-sections but there aren't many talking about the bloody horror joys of vaginal birth.

For the rest of us non-celebrity women, we'll most likely have to settle for whatever our insurance will pay for. So in most cases I'm pretty sure vaginal vanity wouldn't justify having a c-section as a medical necessity. But if you're worried about the battle scars that will be left on your vajayjay there's still hope. You could always get a new cosmetic surgery procedure that has been rising in popularity over the last few years -- the vaginal rejuvenation. The first time I ever heard of this operation was on Nip/Tuck when Kimber, an ex-porn star wanted to "freshen up" her lady bits. But this new form of plastic surgery is becoming more and more common place. It's hard for doctors to keep exact stats because the procedure is often performed by gynecologists who don't keep track of how many they do a year, but Dr. David L. Matlock (from Dr. 90210), who invented vaginal rejuvenation, says he has trained at least 140 doctors in dozens of states and at least 20 countries on how to do this operation.

Dr. Matlock calls his procedure "Designer Laser Vaginoplasty." While that sounds like great fun and all, I think females of the world need to draw the line somewhere. Ladies, we have enough on our plates when it comes to looking good. Do we really need to add vagina makeover to our to-do list???

How to spark pregnancy rumors: Angelina Jolie

Just in case you were bored and wanted people to start whispering, "Is she preggers?" I'm offering you a perfect way to get said rumor started, courtesy of Angelina Jolie.

Angie and partner Brad Pitt showed up at this year's SAG awards looking, well ... nice, but rather expect-y. You'll notice I'm not saying expecting, because there's no bigger gaff than to say a woman is expecting when she's not. Seriously. But, the rumors, they are a-flyin', and Angelina seems to be playing them up from her amplified bustline to her non-existent waistline.

Why does this dress play to the preggers rumors? Let me tell you:

Simple Me for the Stylishly Expectant

french terry sweatshirt for pregnantI am now highly sensitive to all things baby, kids, and maternity, even though I am nowhere near having kids of my own. With a baby niece nearby, and another sister who is very pregnant within calling distance, I am totally aware of how difficult it is to find good clothes for expecting Moms.

Thanks to the folks over at Simple Me boutique, you can feel somewhat comfortably stylish, even if you're, as my sister says, as "big as a house." Sure, you can putz around in faded, ratty sweatpants and your husband's double ex-ell Hanes Beefy tee, but why would you when you can wear something as cute as this short-sleeved French terry sweatshirt? Long enough to cover your belly, and even long enough to go over your butt so you can throw it on over the ultimate comfot, a pair of soft leggings.

The French terry sweatshirt comes in over a dozen colors and costs $59.95 at Simple Me.

Heidi Klum hates maternity jeans

heidi klumNow four months pregnant with her third child, Heidi Klum approached designer Scott Morrison to create a range of skinny, tapered leg jeans in sizes that correspond to each month of her pregnancy. Why? Because the supermodel and hostess of the show Project Runway doesn't like the elastic-waisted maternity jeans that are out there. Perhaps it will inspire designers to create entire 9-month sets to sell in stores to the general public.

Until then, I wonder what she'll do with them after she gives birth.
