Taylor Russell broke down while presenting Ellen Burstyn with the Liberatum Pioneer Award in Venice.

“Everyone in this room knows how incredible you are. I’ve been so affected by your life and your characters, and no, it’s not part of my speech,” she said on Thursday, tearing up.

The “Bones and All” actor starred alongside Burstyn in Niclas Larsson’s “Mother, Couch.”

“The most exciting part was knowing I would have the opportunity to work with you,” said Russell, raving about “every piece” of Burstyn’s “specialness.”

“I think about your spirituality and the way you’ve connected your heart, your truth and your soul to your work. And that makes me think: ‘I can attempt to do that too,’” she said.

“This is not the woman who takes the easy route. She has never stopped searching. Ellen, by sharing the gift of your work and life with us all,...

Nicole Richie and her adorable family always have epic Halloween costumes, but it’s not as easy as it looks.

The star — who has previously dressed up as the Addams family and 101 Dalmatians with Joel Madden and their kids, Harlow, 9, and Sparrow, 8 — tells People shopping for costumes with her family is always a last-minute scramble.

“They always change their minds two days before Halloween, and we go on a mad, crazy search for this costume that hasn’t sold out,” Richie, 36, said at Saks Fifth Avenue’s annual Key to the Cure campaign event, benefiting the Women’s Cancer Research Fund.

Tom Hanks, James Corden, Diane Sawyer, Heidi Klum, Melanie Griffith, Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson, Sean Penn, Sophia Bush, Dermot Mulroney, Dita Von Teese, and amfAR Chairman of the Board Kenneth Cole were among those who gathered at Ron Burkle’s Historic Green Acres Estate for the eighth annual amfAR Gala Los Angeles.

The event paid tribute to Academy Award-winning actress, Julia Roberts, in recognition of her profound commitment to the fight against HIV/AIDS, as well as countless other humanitarian causes.

We know there’s a lot to keep up with in the fashion world right now. From the gowns at the Venice Film Festival to the crazy underwear-flashing looks at Burning Man, it’s a busy time in fashion. That’s why we rounded up all the fashion campaigns and celebrity partnerships your favorite brands are launching this month. Alessandra Ambrosio posed with her mini-me, daughter Anja, for a new campaign with Jordache jeans. There’s a specially-designed Billy Jean King-themed timepiece that can be yours just “in time” for the upcoming film about the tennis star, Battle of the Sexes.

She is always ready to have a good time, and on Tuesday (October 22), Miley Cyrus showed up for Fgi's Night of Stars Gala in New York City.

The head of the Missoni fashion house is still missing — and a paranormal phenomenon similar to the Bermuda Triangle, known as ‘Los Roques Curse,’ may be to blame.

Chief administrator and heir to the Missoni fashion house Vittorio Missoni, 58, and his wife, Maurizia Castiglioni, are still missing, after their private plane vanished on Jan. 4. Another couple and two crew members were also aboard the twin-engine Britten Norman BN2 Islander at the time of the dissapearance. The six passengers were traveling from the resort islands of Los Roques to the Venezuelan capital of Caracas — and they disappeared in an area known as ‘Los Roques Curse,’ a phenomenon similar to the Bermuda Triangle. Since the ’90s, at least 15 aircrafts have crashed or gone missing in the 87-mile journey — with Missoni’s plane being the most recent to pass through the infamous area.

Following the disappearance of Vittorio Missoni's plane Friday, the fashion mogul's sister Angela Missoni said the family still has hope they will be reunited with him. Missoni's plane went off the radar just after taking off from Los Roques, Venezuela, and never made it to its destination, an international airport outside Caracas.  "My children and nephews are with my parents, all together at this difficult time," Angela said in a statement to E! News. "We are all moved by the affection and help we've had so far from the whole world and thankful to the authorities for their tireless search and rescue efforts. "At this time, we have no further specifics regarding...

After making his leading ladies look gorgeous in film after film, it looks like someone decided that director Pedro Almodovar should get the model treatment. Fasion house Missoni has put him alongside model Mariacarla Boscono, Spanish actresses Rossy de Palma and Blanca Suarez and more regulars from the label in a spread shot by famed photographer Juergen Teller. His appearance isn't quite so random, as he's apparently a longtime friend of the designer's family. "Pedro had told me for years that he was keen to make something with us," explained creative director Angela Missoni to the Telegraph. "So I asked him this time and he offered to model in the campaign…It is a homage to the Spanish lifestyle with women and girls who love to party and dance into the night. It has been a great experience for all of us." Anyway, the spread is accompanied by this pretty...
