Robert Pattinson Inspires New Underwear Line

Kyle Rover/Startraks

As if Twilight fans needed another reason to get giddy about Robert Pattinson, Guardian reports that British retailer Marks and Spencer has announced that they are creating a men’s underwear line inspired by the sexy star. Aptly called the R-Pant, the vampire-inspired slim-fit underwear collection of low-rise briefs and trunks is meant to be worn under skinny jeans like those sported by Katy Perry‘s funny man Russell Brand and, of course, Pattinson himself. And while the 24-year-old Twilight hottie will not be appearing in an ad campaign for the retailer (nor is he apparently endorsing the line), the Guardian reports that the actor has been spotted shopping for underwear at the store. With fellow vampire Kellan Lutz fronting Calvin Klein underwear, we’re wondering just how much the R-Pant collection will be able to sex up Marks and Spencer’s underwear department. Looks like we’ll have to wait until September, when the new range goes on sale, to see! –Jessie Goldberg

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Jessica Biel Takes You Behind the Scenes of Her Latest Revlon Shoot

She might be more accustomed to the red carpet’s high-drama glitz, but for her latest Revlon commercial, Jessica Biel is going back to nature–and she’s taking us behind-the-scenes of her picturesque shoot. The overall concept for the Revlon ColorStay Just Bitten Lipstain and Balm ad, she says, was inspired by “this idea of this girl just lounging in the beautiful field, and in this meadow, and the flowers are growing and the wind’s blowing and it’s just a very real environment. And then this kind of mysterious person arrives and breaks her out of her little private moment and they have this kind of playful little scene.” Instead of playing up the jet-set lifestyle fans often associate with the Revlon Global Brand Ambassador, “I think what [we] are trying to create is almost like a watercolor,” she explains, “which is a little bit sleepy and sort of magical–that is what I really respond to.” The $9 two-in-one lip-stain and balm is available now on ulta.com. Tell us: What’s your take on Jessica’s behind-the-scenes shoot? –Katherine Kluznik Rentmeester

Amanda Schwab/Startraks

After much speculation in the fashion world, it appears that designer Marc Jacobs and boyfriend Lorenzo Martone have officially entered splitsville. Despite the couple’s much-publicized engagement in March 2009, Marc shot down marriage rumors last week while promoting his new mens fragrance Bang, telling British Vogue, “No, I am not getting married.” Lorenzo then promptly took to his Twitter on Friday, confirming the split. “We are not together, haven’t been in 2 months. And we will not comment on it. Sorry. We r fine,” Tweeted the Brazilian native. Reps for Jacobs declined to comment on the designer’s personal life. –Jessie Goldberg

Cameron Diaz’s Rising Hemlines: Short, Shorter, Shortest!

With her supermodel-long legs and chic sense of style, Cameron Diaz has been lighting up the red carpet as she and Knight and Day costar Tom Cruise continue their whirlwind European promotional tour. But the more countries that Cameron visits, the higher her hemlines seem to become! From Germany to England to France, the A-lister’s premiere dresses have gone from short to shorter to shortest. The actress first turned heads in Munich last Wednesday, where she wore a stunning asymmetric white Bottega Veneta dress with nude peep-toe heels. The next night, Cameron rocked another thigh-grazing frock in London, this time a stylish micro-sequin sweater dress from local favorite Stella McCartney. And at this weekend’s premiere in Bordeaux, France, she took it one step further, or perhaps we should say shorter, when she worked the carpet in a black-and-white Vionnet mini that almost seemed more tunic top than full-blown dress. If anyone can work a thigh-grazer, it’s definitely Cameron, but we can’t help but wonder if some of these gam-baring looks are actually just too short. Tell us: What do you think of Cameron’s minis? –Gillian Koenig

Vanessa Hudgens: “I’m a Freak When It Comes To Fashion”

While her film and musical career might come first for Vanessa Hudgens, fashion doesn’t seem to fall too far behind on her priority list. “I’m a freak when it comes to fashion and accessorizing,” the 21-year-old former High School Musical star told PEOPLE at the Comic Con convention in San Diego over the weekend. “I love putting things together and just loading it on.” So much so that Vanessa, known for her boho-chic style, has her sights set on her own jewelry line. “I think that me and my girlfriend are going to start a jewelry line and then slowly work our way into fashion,” Vanessa revealed to PEOPLE. Just don’t expect any accessories from Vanessa and pal too soon: “It’ll happen but right now I want to focus more on film.” And while the star is currently busy rehearsing for the musical Rent and appearing in the much-anticipated movie Sucker Punch, she did have some time to chat about her fall fashion obsessions. “Flair legged jeans,” she revealed. “I’m obsessed with flair legs and everyone has been wearing skinny so I’m excited that it’s coming back,” said the stylish star, who has admitted to owning roughly 100 pairs of jeans. Also on her must-have list for fall? Knee-socks and jewels. “Lots of silver I’m obsessed with.” –Gillian Koenig; Reporting by Scott Huver
