This scene from Roman Holiday is one of the most charming ever, as Audrey Hepburn's character, Princess Ann, liberates herself from her stuffy, regal lifestyle. Watch as the expressive and flirtatious Italian barber ("Off, off, off!") takes her hair from below the shoulder to this iconic wavy pixie. It all makes me want to go for a gelato run on a Vespa. What about you? Much like Audrey's Read more
The Young Victoria hits limited theaters on Friday, with Emily Blunt as the 19th-century royal in her younger years. Blunt's already up for a Best Actress Golden Globe for her depiction of Queen Victoria, but she's not the first Hollywood star to don a crown.

Movie lists in particular seem to focus on really good, classic movies, but why not have a little fun, too? What about the so-bad-it's-good movies that are worth seeing — like, say, Center Stage? (I love that movie.) The good folks at Yahoo! are the latest to tackle Read more

From Sweden to Saudi Arabia, see how Read more
Window shopping has never been so charitable! If you happen to be doing some holiday shopping in New York City or San Francisco, take a look at the store windows you pass — some may be filled with a high-tech way for mama to do some charitable giving without ever opening her wallet. Ebay just unveiled Give-a-Toy Store interactive storefronts that allow shoppers to use their smartphones to scan Read more
If Halloween as a little girl meant dressing up as every Disney princess from Cinderella to Snow White, you should still feel perfectly comfortable going as a princess now that you're a grown woman.

If you still have princess fever, this is the year to channel non-cartoon royalty; Read more
Prince Albert II of Monaco will marry Charlene Wittstock this weekend in a three-day celebration many thought would never come. The 53-year-old playboy prince and ruler of the small Mediterranean city state has dodged settling down for years, but he finally will give Monaco the royal wedding it's been waiting for since Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier in 1956. Bride Charlene, 33, a South Read more
Fergie joined the bikini parade in St. Barts yesterday, sitting down for lunch on a yacht with friends in a gold number. Her husband, Josh Duhamel, showed some skin of his own, going shirtless to swim while Fergie kept an eye on him from the boat. The couple are off in the Caribbean to enjoy a New Year's vacation. It wasn't all relaxation for Fergie, though, as she and the Black Eyed Peas were Read more
