How is it possible that the guy who played Julia Roberts's love interest in the smash hit Erin Brockovich doesn't get recognized? Because Aaron Eckhart has never played the same guy twice, as his recent role in Nurse Betty proves.
With her flaxen hair and freckled cheeks, 17-year-old Kate Bosworth might be the epitome of the American-as-apple-pie teenager--except that she's a working actress who's already made films with people like Robert Redford and Denzel Washington.
In a park in New York's Greenwich Village, the sparrows won't leave Jennifer Connelly alone. I'm reminded of those Bacharach lyrics, "Why do birds suddenly appear/every time you are near?'' A likely answer: at 29, this former teen actress is as raven-tressed and voluptuous a beauty as Eve.
Hot off the blockbuster The Perfect Storm and soon to hit screens in the Coen brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou?, George Clooney explains why even his supposed failures were actually lucky breaks, reveals who his "absolute hero" is, and disses the agent who once sent him to read for one line in Guarding Tess.
When stars look so extraordinarily beautiful in photographs, not all the magic is in the star or the photographer. The stylist who dresses the actor or actress for the camera plays a crucial role.

Rebecca Gayheart, who starred this summer in Shadow Hours with Peter Weller and Balthazar Getty, collects vintage pieces and knows a thing or two about old-style Hollywood glamour. Here she evokes a bygone era of silver screen fashion in a beaded halter dress by Randolph Duke, black fur by Christina Perrin and jewelry by Michael Beaudry.
The night Farrah Fawcett debuted on TV's "Charlie's Angels" in 1976, she transformed pop culture. Her feathery Medusa mane, mile-wide grin, architectural cheekbones and bra-free body made her an instant icon. In a red bathing suit, she became the star of the all-time best-selling poster. She sparked riots wherever she went. She only became more famous when she bolted "Charlie's Angels" after a single season, which resulted in lawsuits that account for her later turning up on the show in guest spots. Her personal life has been endless fodder for the press.
Taking a lighthearted leap into film with the English comedy Blow Dry, supermodel Heidi Klum talks about the strangeness of being paid to sit around and reveals a very personal beauty tip.

Here he discusses some of the lows, including losing his mother at age five and growing up on mean streets--and reveals some of his personal quirks, like not wearing underwear.
With his dark looks, spiky hair, and piercing gaze, it's no surprise that Timothy Olyphant has mostly been cast as a bud guy. You probably recognized him as the ecstasy-selling drug dealer in 1999's Go, or as Mickey, the killer who posed as a friend-of-Neve in Scream 2. But lately Olyphant has gone good. He was a straight-shooting cop in Gone in Sixty Seconds, and this month he plays a good, but confused, gay photographer in The Broken Hearts Club (what the movie Swingers would have been had it been about eight gay men). Early next year he stars as Mark Wahlberg's best bud in So You Wanna Be a Rock Star.
Leaving Las Vegas was five years ago. But no matter, Shue Shines Again in Hollow Man.
Eliza Dushku, best known for her stint as Faith, the evil slayer on "Buffy the Vampire 5layer" and "Angel," made her film debut opposite Juliette Lewis back in 1992's That Night and hasn't played a good girl since. "There's a lot of actresses out there who are the girl next door," muses the 19-year-old Bostonian. "I relate more to characters who have an edge." Dushku's danger-girl vibe gets a workout in two upcoming features--the cheerleading comedy Bring It On and the thriller Soul Survivors.
