Kristen Chenoweth is a talented little dynamo. She's a singer, a dancer, a hugely funny comedic actress, and packs more personality into her 4'11" than almost anyone else in Hollywood.

Former Dawson's Creek star and Tom Cruise wife, Katie Holmes, debuted her new line of clothing at the Tropic Thunder premiere last night. The stars swooped in at the last minute to a baffled crowd of photographers, who were amazed they came. Holmes has been working on a clothing line for Georgio Armani, and this might be the first ever look at what she can do.

The dress looks amazing, blue satin on the bottom half with a leather halter-top and a strap running around the neck. I know one thing: she sure can design for her bottom frame.

Along with TomKat, came the stars of the film Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr and Jack Black and surprise co-stars Matthew McConaughey, Justin Theroux, Amy Adams and Tobey Maguire.

It's been a while since my last post from Miami Fashion Week. I spent last weekend in San Diego for the International Comic Convention, where high fashion was sci-fi T-shirts and cargo shorts. Batman costumes took over the hallways of the convention center, so there wasn't much to post about. I missed Styledash, but I'm back with a bang of an event.

Critically acclaimed director Woody Allen's 43rd film, "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," brings together actor Javier Bardem and girlfriend Penelope Cruz with the ever talented Scarlett Johansson. The Los Angeles premiere brought them together again in top designer dresses. Scarlett in Monique Lhullier. Penelope in Herve L. Leroux. Selma in Balenciaga. These women of Hollywood stormed the red carpet in high fashion.

Scarlet won the fashion contest for last night in the Phillipino fashion designer's red gown, and with two of Hollywood's fashion elite on the carpet, that's a victory that deserves a trophy, right?

See the dresses from the premiere in my gallery below.

We love Anne Hathaway. She stays far away from the hoopla that surrounds young Hollywood and has stated she has the aggression of a "tulip." To boot, she's got a great, classic style that is beyond her years.

The shorts suit that Anne wore to a recent Get Smart premier is the ideal blend of that old school glamor with a fresh, young twist. We're sure stylist Rachel Zoe would be proud – since, she, uh, probably picked it out for Anne.

No matter, we love it anyway so don't take offense! Kisses! Muah, muah!

I covered the premiere at the Egyptian Theater for a independent movie called No Bad Days starring Michael Madsen (from Kill Bill) and Keith David from Super Hero Movie.

The movie is about evil tomb-raiders who rob precious Mayan artifacts but soon face a difficult opponent -- an unpredictable, rugged, ex-military operative who discovers his true self after ending five years in hiding. Our hero finds himself being chased through jungles, spying in underground waterways, and falling in love with an attractive, yet stubborn American woman searching for her missing mother (an archaeologist who was in the wrong place at the wrong time).

It sounds like a Jean-Claude van Damme flick.

Altogether, Michael Madsen, Heather Storm and Kelly Noonan showed up, along with an onslaught of red carpet seekers and faux fashionistas.

I'm just thrilled because I'm leaving from Miami for a week to cover Miami Fashion Week. So seven days from now I'll be on Miami Beach in swim trunks and boat shoes.

Big summer premieres always draw a large crowd on Hollywood Blvd. Monday night was no different for Will Smith's Hancock premiere. Stars Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman walked the red carpet through piles of toppled cop cars and taxi cabs with their respective significant others. Casts from the past Tatyana Ali, Queen Latifah (in a sick pair of Nike Women's Dunks), Amanda Peet, Virginia Madsen and so many more showed their support for yet another super hero movie this year.

Jada Pinkett Smith looked stunning in a green dress with bright blue Indian-style earrings.

Right when I was zipping my camera bag shut Will, Charlize and Jason walked all the way back down the carpet for a group shot, but all in all, it was a great day for summer premieres -- especially since most celebrities don't want to come out to their friend's openings any more.

Angelina Jolie has been making headlines all week. Of course, she is a walking headline every week, and whenever she and Mr. Brad Pitt show themselves the crowds go wild. We feel their pain.

When not comparing baby bumps with costar Jack Black (key player in Twin-Gate), who is also expecting (well, his wife is), she is making the rounds at Cannes to promote their new animated film Kung Fu Panda. Oh, and she is having some fun with the media. Why not?
