BuzzSugar — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 16:30:21 PST

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. With that in mind, I give you my favorite movie monarchs of all time. Check 'em out!

Movie Preview: Emily Blunt in Young Victoria

BuzzSugar — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 10:30:20 PST

Emily Blunt playing a young Queen Victoria in a sumptuous period drama? Yes, please! The trailer for The Young Victoria is slow to build but visually beautiful and features the ever-capable Emily Blunt in the title role. The movie is a "dramatization of the turbulent first years of Queen Victoria's rule, and her enduring romance with Prince Albert." Rupert Friend plays Albert and the sweetness of his relationship with Victoria here looks so refreshing.

The Young Victoria opens in the UK on March 6. To watch the trailer,

Victoria Beckham and the Boys Go Along For David's Big Night

Allie Merriam — Mon, 21 May 2012 19:40:45 PDT

Victoria Beckham wore a dress of her own design to accompany her husband David to the annual Sports Spectacular benefit at LA's Hyatt Regency Century Plaza. The gala raises funds for the Cedars-Sinai Medical Genetics Institute, which researches genetic birth defects. The couple brought their three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, along for the event, while baby Harper stayed at home. It was the latest fun outing for the Beckham boys, since earlier in the afternoon, David, Cruz, Romeo, and Brooklyn checked in at the Staples Center to watch the Los Angeles Kings take on the Phoenix Coyotes.

David was honored at the evening event for his work. On the press line, David spoke about his future with soccer. He said, "People always ask me what I want to do when I've finished playing, and they say, 'Do I want to go into management?' To be honest I've never wanted to go into management. I love coaching kids, I love working with kids. They're amazing people. They're amazingly truthful, young people, and that's what I love doing."

The entire Beckham clan is together on the West Coast after a busy period of travel for both David and Victoria. He stopped in Washington DC for an event with the president and first lady to honor the MLS-winning LA Galaxy team. David was then off to Athens and proudly helped transport the Olympic flame to London ahead of the Summer Olympics. Victoria returned for a long tour of Asia on behalf of her namesake collection. Things keep growing for Posh's business - Victoria Beckham will open her first store, possibly in Hong Kong, but more likely in London.

Jennifer Lawrence Shows Off Her Archery Skills on Silly El Hormiguero

Lindsay Miller — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 17:49:00 PDT

Jennifer Lawrence donned Victoria Beckham to stop by Spanish TV show El Hormiguero today. The talk show is well known for putting stars in silly situations, and Jennifer's experience was no different. The hosts had Jennifer juggle a watermelon and even pose with action figures based on The Hunger Games characters. The blockbuster big-screen adaptation of the book is still doing well in theaters, but Jennifer is already looking ahead to her new slate of projects.

We recently got a first look at her in character on the set of Selena, a 1920s period film in which she stars as Bradley Cooper's young wife, and she'll try her hand at horror when The House at the End of the Street hits theaters in September. Of course, she'll also be returning to her role as Katniss Everdeen when Catching Fire begins filming. During her stop by El Hormiguero today, Jennifer even put some of her Katniss skills to the test when she was asked to shoot a bow and arrow. Check out our gallery of celebs on El Hormiguero to see even more of the famous faces who have appeared on the show!

Harper Beckham Gets a Ride on David's Shoulders From a Birthday Bash

Allie Merriam — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 07:27:40 PST

David Beckham carried his young daughter Harper Beckham on his shoulders last week as they left an LA bowling alley. The family got together to celebrate Cruz's seventh birthday, which was on Feb. 20. His milestone came during a busy week for his parents. Victoria, who'd only freshly returned from a business trip to the UK, stepped out for three events, including the launch of the Eva Longoria Foundation, a reception for British Academy Award nominees, and the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty. David joined her only at the last of the three, and they made a hot couple on the carpet, him in a tux and her in a dress from her own Victoria Beckham collection. At the bash, David and Victoria mingled with many of their famous friends, including Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, and newcomer Lily Collins.

Victoria Beckham Fall 2012

Brittney Stephens — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 12:10:44 PST

Victoria Beckham's Fall collection can easily be described in one word: strong. The designer offered up her usual sleek, body-conscious dresses, but this time with a decidedly utilitarian touch. The military-chic collection was sexy, without being aggressively so, and was punctuated by belted waists, elbow-length sleeves, and high, collared necklines. Her signature slim-fitting vibe was still there, as were subtle nods to her family - Victoria mused that she "was in the kitchen one day" when son Romeo ran in with his baseball uniform on. "That's what inspired those bright sporty collars on the dresses," she told the Telegraph. Also, the loose beanies "were inspired by the ones David is always wearing," and there was even a handbag named after young daughter Harper. For the first time ever, David Beckham was front row for his wife's show, looking proud and excited while seated next to Anna Wintour. Get the full breakdown of the collection below.

Trends: Colorblocking, epaulets and gold buttons, belting, canvas panels.
Colors: Black, red, cornflower, moss, khaki.
Key Piece: The bright cornflower-blue zip-back dress; the dark khaki trench coat lined with python.
Accessories: Structured satchels, baggy knit hats, lace-up, combat-style boots with chunky baseball socks.
Who Would Wear It: Blake Lively, Kate Winslet, and, of course, Victoria herself.
