The Bellas were back on the red carpet on Tuesday night and turning heads in their stunning styles.

The Pitch Perfect 3 cast got all dressed up for the Hollywood premiere of the highly anticipated sequel, and Et's Carly Steel was on hand to chat with the movie's biggest stars.

Brittany Snow was really feeling her Monique Lhuillier gown that she paired with jewelry by Marli Borgioni and Harry Kotlar. "When I tried it on, I was like, 'Oh, this was meant to fit my body,'" the 31-year-old actress said of the gown.

Ashley Graham kicked off Love magazine’s 7th annual advent calendar on Saturday with a skin-showing, eye-catching video.

The 30-year-old supermodel and body-positive activist donned dark bikini bottoms and a mesh bra-top for her 2017 entry to the series, shaking her chest and slapping her behind before showing off one of her favorite workout moves.

“I’m Ashley Graham and this is the sled pull,” she says at the top of the black and white video, later running and pulling the piece of equipment through the streets of New York City.

“Stay strong,” she added later, flexing her muscles.

Heidi Klum will Never be outdone when it comes to Halloween bashes ... to say her party was a thriller would be an understatement. Heidi channeled the King of Pop at her 18th annual Halloween party in NYC -- at the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar and Lounge at Moxy Times Square -- nailing the werewolf in Michael Jackson's "Thriller." Heidi's known for her awesome costumes ... in the past going as a 95-year-old lady and Jessica Rabbit.

See what costumes made TheWrap’s list of best celebrity Halloween costumes. Adele as The Mask in 2016 Iggy Azalea as Cruella de Vil in 2013 Dwayne Johnson as The Hulk in 2012 Bette Midler as Winifred Sanderson from “Hocus Pocus” in 2016 Katy Perry as a Flamin’ Hot Cheetos in 2014 Colton Haynes as Ursula from “The Little Mermaid” in 2015 Tyra Banks as Richard Branson in 2015 Kim Kardashian as Poison Ivy in 2012 Heidi Klum as Jessica Rabbit in 2015 Beyonce and Jay Z as Barbie and Ken in 2016, with a special appearance by Blue Ivy Kylie Jenner as Christina Aguilera from her “Dirrty” music video in.

If there is one celebrity who is completely and totally obsessed with Halloween, it’s Heidi Klum. Year after year, the supermodel wears an over-the-top costume to the annual Halloween bash she’s been hosting in honor of her favorite dress-up holiday since 2001.

And this year is no different.

An odd couple comedy pairing a silly cartoon animal with a cranky, grizzled detective will always call to mind “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?,” the 1988 comedy directed by Robert Zemeckis. From its first trailer, “Happy!” riffs on the comedy classic, updating it with a breakneck pace and black humor that would make even Jessica Rabbit blush. In 2017, that’s a promising look for this new series from the Syfy channel, which casts comedy heavyweights Patton Oswalt and Christopher Meloni (who proved his comedy chops on “Wet Hot American Summer”) as its unusual pair.

Adapted from the graphic novel of the same name by Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson, “Happy!” follows Nick Sax (Meloni), “an intoxicated, corrupt ex-cop turned hit man – who is adrift in a world of casual murder, soulless sex and betrayal. After a hit gone wrong, his inebriated life is forever changed by a tiny, relentlessly positive, imaginary blue...

I just want to thank Eclectic Method for making me realize that I was making a big mistake in having the hots for Jessica Rabbit in my youth. That video made me painfully aware of that bad hairline and now it's a lot more obvious to me why she's with Roger Rabbit. 

My rant aside this is a good remix of Who Framed Roger Rabbit that you need to check out!

For an actress who has made a career out of acclaimed off-Broadway plays and parts on prestige TV shows such as Nurse Jackie, Masters of Sex and, more recently, American Gods, Starz’s stylized adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s cult novel, it comes as a surprise to see Betty Gilpin rocking spandex, glittery eye shadow and at least half a can of Aqua Net on Netflix’s female wrestling dramedy Glow. In person, however, the self-described “theater geek” is decidedly less glamorous. “I have toothpaste on my face right now,” deadpans Gilpin, speaking to Et by phone from her Brooklyn apartment.

Last year was perhaps the busiest of Gilpin’s life, considering that she not only landed parts on two of the most talked-about new TV series, she also got married to Cosmo Pfeil, a former actor who now works at a nonprofit. (Ironically, the couple met while playing siblings in the 2009 movie The Northern Kingdom.) “While...

Hanky codes. Septum piercings. A knowing glance. Since we’ve been around (at least as far back as ancient Greece), queer people have learned to read between the lines to find kindred spirits out in the world — and onscreen.

Old Hollywood movies had to dance around overtly queer stories, although that didn’t stop them from scoring big with thematically queer classics “Some Like It Hot,” “Rope” and “Rebecca.” (To say nothing of any movie musical ever made). The tides of change slowly but surely progressed throughout the ’70s and 80’s, on to the New Queer Cinema boom of the ’90s. However, even after the success of “Moonlight,...

Welcome to another installment of Movies to Show My Son. This is the blog series were I discuss movies I can’t wait to show my son in the future. I’ll be covering my own personal experience with the movie, movie and life lessons I hope he will learn, and lastly my concerns about showing said film. This week’s film is Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

My Memory:

What surprised me about my memories of Who Framed Roger Rabbit is how I do not have many of them. As someone who was born in 1984 I was the right age for It, but for whatever reason, it was not one of those showcase films I watched as a child. Part of me thinks it was because my parents did not allow me to watch it, and after rewatching it recently I could understand why.

There are some moments that do stick out.

Saluting the movie characters who make an impression, the minute they appear on the screen...

One thing that unites all of cinema’s most iconic characters is that they were able to make a memorable first impression. Whether it’s bursting onto the scene in a flurry of noise or slowly skulking their way into shot, there’s a fine art to ensuring a character makes an instant impact on screen. An iconic entrance is not just about a momentary impact however, it can also emphasise a character’s importance and help to cement their influence over the rest of the movie.

Robert Zemeckis has been talking about making a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit? for years. It's something that he wants to do, and it's something that fans would love to see, but in a recent interview with The Telegraph, he explains why it probably isn't going to happen.

Zemeckis says that the script for the film is “magnificent,” and says that it's “more a continuation than a sequel.” According to the filmmaker, the story follows Roger and Jessica Rabbit “into the next few years of period film, moving on from film noir to the world of the 1950s.” The sequel also included the ghost of Eddie Valiant, who was wonderfully portrayed by the late Bob Hoskins in the original film. The plan was to use a CGI digital version of Hoskins.

So why isn't this movie happening!? Because Disney controls the property, and Zemeckis says that “the current corporate...

Heidi Klum is known for throwing incredible Halloween parties, and for going above and beyond with her own spectacular costumes. The last few years have seen her transform into a cartoonish Jessica Rabbit, a giant butterfly and a startlingly realistic old lady.

Heidi Klum has proved, yet again, that she's the indisputable queen of Halloween.

While the supermodel has donned some pretty intricate costumes in the past -- including dressing up as Jessica Rabbit, a detailed butterfly and the Hindu goddess Kali -- Klum's costume for her annual Halloween bash this year required a little less make-up.

However, it did require five other women to don synthetic replicas of her face to go as nearly identical clones of the 43-year-old America's Got Talent star.

Planning out your costume is all about the thrill of hunt for some and hair splitting for others. Either way, it's an unwritten rule that if you're going to dress up you're going to have to drop some cash. Even if you initially set out to be thrifty, you're not going to be able to say no to that red dress that looks just like Heidi Klum's rendition of Jessica Rabbit (for example). So, if you're going to burn a hole in your pocket, it might as well be something that not only nails the look on Halloween night, but is also stylish enough that you'll want to wear it again and again.

Jessica Rabbit kidnapped by Nazis. Costner rescuing Princess Diana. We look back at a few strange movie sequels that were never made…

The multi-million dollar success of any movie will inevitably leave Hollywood executives clamouring for a sequel. And while there are plenty of movies whose stories are open-ended enough to warrant a return to the creative well, there are many times when coming up with a follow-up idea requires all sorts of imaginative leaps. Just look at something like Alien: Resurrection, which had to come up an elaborate reason why Ripley had (spoiler alert) managed to survive a swan-dive into a lead foundry in Alien 3.

Which brings us to this list, which is devoted to a few of the weirder sequel ideas that never made it to the big screen. An E.T. sequel in which little Elliott gets tortured by aliens? Forrest Gump dancing with Princess Diana?...

Heidi Klum and her ex-husband Seal met up at their son's football game in La over the weekend. The couple, who split in April 2012 after seven years of marriage, watched the event on the sidelines separately but greeted each other with a kiss after the match was over. They're clearly just one of a handful of celebrity couples who've managed to remain on good terms after calling it quits on their romantic relationship. Heidi was dressed down and in mom mode after her revealing Jessica Rabbit Halloween costume made headlines last month. It took 10 hours to transform her into the iconic character for her annual Halloween bash, which took place in NYC this year.

Heidi Klum pulled off a very convincing Jessica Rabbit for Halloween, but that was just for one night – this transgender woman has paid around $200K on plastic surgery to permanently look like the cartoon character.

The 37-year-old has undergone surgery for facial feminization, brow shaving, Adam's apple reductions, sexual reassignment, and on her nose, lips, cheeks, breasts, hips and butt, but she's still not done. According to the show, she now wants to have her ribs removed to make her waist just as slim as Jessica's.
