Meryl and Sandra Share Award...and a Kiss!

If last night's 15th Annual Critic's Choice Awards are any indication of what's to come, this awards season will be entertaining. Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock shared a win-and a kiss!-for best actress (Bullock for The Blind Side and Streep for Julie and Julia). "This is bulls---," Bullock joked before locking lips onstage with Streep. "It's an honor," she continued, after the surprising smooch. "And I don't know what else to say except Meryl's a great kisser".

Marchesa Does Makeup!

Marchesa made their name designing ultra-feminine, red-carpet frocks-and, lucky for us (!), now they're dipping into the beauty world, too. For awards season, the London-based designers collaborated with beauty.com for the Red Carpet Ready Kit-an adorable hat-box inspired by a dress from their Notte by Marchesa line that Ali Larter wore and stocked with sixteen samples of their favorite products. (The box, valued at over $200, is yours with any purchase over $150.) Come spring, they'll join forces withLe Metier de Beaute for a micro-collection inspired by their upcoming runway show.

Ashley Greene Loves Wii Fit

It was hard not to notice Ashley Greene's sexy figure in her newly-released ads for SoBe (left)-the actress was covered in body paint!

Jen Rade's Style Secret

She's the woman behind stars like Angelina Jolie's stunning red carpet looks, so naturally celebrity stylist Jennifer Rade has a few chic tricks up her sleeve!

Rade attended the 9th Annual Awards Season Diamond Fashion Show Preview Hosted By The Diamond Information Center and InStyle with client Perrey Reeves, who wore a super-affordable HampM dress and Forever 21 ring. "I like shopping at places like Target, HampM, and Topshop. Style is not about money at all. The fit is the key! Buy something at a lower price and have it altered-a little tailoring goes a long way," Rade divulged. Reeves agreed: "You could be wearing a $10,000 dress and if it doesn't fit you, it's going to look cheap."

Hollywood Stars Step In to Help Haiti

Stars are reaching out to help victims of the devastating earthquake

that destroyed Port-au-Prince, Haiti on Tuesday. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pittdonated one million dollars, and Olivia Wilde has taken to her Twitter account: "My husband and I were just in Haiti a few weeks ago," she told us today. "When the earthquake happened, I tweeted about it. We've already raised $34,000." Haiti's economic conditions have long been a celebrity cause: Haitian Wyclef Jean started Yele Haiti, a foundation also supported by Jolie (far left). And just last year, Mario Bello (near left) was featured in our July issue for her charitable efforts in the Caribbean country. "I've been to Haiti a few times and I've never witnessed such poverty," Bello said when we caught up with her today. "To help you can go to artistsforpeaceandjustice.com. 100 percent of the donations go right to the ground in Haiti. As we speak we are wiring money to help rescue the children."

UPDATE:InStyle's Ariel Foxman announced today that the magazine has made a donation to Artists for Peace and Justice. Learn about more ways you can help in Haiti by visiting redcross.org or simply text "HAITI" to 90999 to donate ten dollars to those in need instantly .

How Stars Cope With Award Season Stress

Awards season can be a nail-biting time for stars, especially for newcomer nominees like Gabourey Sidibe and Carey Mulligan. We caught up with the rising stars at the National Board of Review Awards to find out what they carry in their clutches to keep their nerves at ease. "My cell phone. There are so many cracks in these shows that get a little boring so I need to text people to stay awake!" Sibide, who accepted the Breakthrough Performance Award for her Precious role, told us. Carey Mulligan, on the other hand, uses the actual accessory to relieve her stress! "I find myself gripping onto my clutch when I'm nervous at these things. It's my stress ball or something!" she said.

A Single Man's Mid-Century Home

The setting in Tom Ford's new film, A Single Man, is a visual tableau of mid-century style.

Fashion luminary Ford makes his directorial debut with the film (based on the 1964 novel by Christopher Isherwood), in which Colin Firth plays a grief stricken professor who has lost his longtime lover. The suburban Los Angeles home (currently for sale!) is the ideal modernist retreat for Firth's reserved, soul-searching character. Designed by renowned architect John Lautner in 1949, the house is a gorgeous blend of natural wood, concrete and glass that merges seamlessly with the surrounding forest. Combined with Ford's impeccable fashion sense and the chic '60s style furnishings (created by the production geniuses behind Mad Men), A Single Man perfectly captures the essence of an era.

Try on Kate Gosselin's Extensions!

Kate Gosselin

's new extensions-the work of celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson-have been the talk of every blog, tabloid, and morning show since their debut last week. And now you can try them on in our Hollywood Makeover Tool! We've been predicting a big hair change for Kate since this summer, when Gibson himself told us he'd give the star a shorter, tighter crop. What made him change his mind? "She's already done the short hair thing," he told us this week. "I wanted to add some more length. She'd also look great with bangs and more layers." Clearly, Gosselin's open to change, and not just in the hair department: Yesterday the star announced a new reality TV show where she'll try out different professions.

Victoria Beckham's American Idol Style

Last night's American Idol got a major boost of style thanks to a super-posh guest judge-Victoria Beckham!

She took the judges table by storm wearing two frocks from her own collection-a strong-shouldered red dress and then, our personal favorite, a navy blue sheath with chiffon overlay (left) that put Simon Cowell's staple white v-neck to shame. She even admitted to judging the contestants style as much as their performance: "Even if someone was really not that great, they might have a great pair of shoes on that I really appreciated. I can find something good to say about most people," she told E! after the show.

The Latest from NARS Orgasm

NARS Orgasm Blush is the most universally flattering peachy pink blush we've ever come across-but the new Orgasm Illuminator, which launches this month, might just give it a run for its money.

Check out supermodel Amber Valletta modeling the shade in her new ad campaign. We've heard of bedroom eyes, but NARS Illuminator in Orgasm might just be the way to perfect bedroom cheeks.
