According to Variety, the movie has now taken the place of Shrek 2 to "become the third highest domestic grosser of all time with a cume of Read more

In Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (yes, I saw it and am not afraid to admit it), America Ferrera's character Carmen, long the thread (pun intended) that held the four friends together, becomes exasperated over her foursome's inability to communicate over distances.

It's like the ultimate product placement: I want to go where Read more

All four starlets of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 looked fabulous at the premiere last night. But America always shines on the red carpet and that she did in her electric blue Brian Reyes dress. Gossip Girl Leighton Meester was also wearing Brian Reyes — a black-slip corset dress.

It's been a long few years since their first movie together for the girls of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.
