I've struggled with my perception of Victoria, pretty much since she popped onto the Top Model audition episode espousing about the Trail of Tears. Her (unintentional) humor has been one of my favorite things about cycle 19 and much of the time, I'm entertained by how unusual of a person she seems to be. Top Model often repeats archetypes and personalities, to the point where you know the dynamic the house will have before the cycle even starts, so it's been nice having a round peg trying to fit into the square Top Model circle. Though I can't help but giggle at how committed she gets at a photo shoot or the continued drubbing she gives Kiara in her confessionals, Victoria's had many moments that make me believe that she doesn't have the emotional fortitude it takes to become America's Next Top Model. The asocial behavior, the dangerously co-dependent relationship with her mother,...

The stars were out on Wednesday night to celebrate Belvedere Vodka's Nylon Summer Music Issue Celebration, with host Shirley Manson and special performance by Garbage. Luckily, I (TheInsider.com's very own Meg Swertlow!) also got an invite to the music-tastic soiree -- and I didn't even have to give up a kidney or my first born. Here are some of the VIP party deets!
After getting locked in the stairwell of parking lot – I feared my friend Kate and I would miss seeing my high school icon perform. But after a lot of yelling, a lot of scrambling up and down several flights of stairs in high heels, we got there just in time to see the amazing Shirley Manson take to the stage and prove once again she ain’t no stupid girl. While she the saucy Scottish singer and her band may have not come out with a record for seven years, the electrifying...

Sucker Punch costars Vanessa Hudgens and Abbie Cornish each donned leather to pose for the April issue of Nylon. The movie's cast, which also includes Jena Malone, Jamie Chung, and Emily Browning, did their share of toughening up for their roles in the upcoming fantasy film, with Vanessa even learning to use a tomahawk! The leading ladies talked to the magazine about their fight skills, first impressions of each other, and what gets their adrenaline pumping. Here are some highlights: Vanessa on her first reaction to the film: "My adrenaline was kicking, my energy, my spirits were so high that I literally felt like I had just walked out of a rock concert. . . When I saw it, I was literally like, 'Woo, yes! I can do anything! Yay! Go women!' Like, I feel so empowered." Abbie on her Limitless costar Bradley Cooper's take on the film: "One night...

Kate Bosworth may seem like an easy-going, free spirit, but the actress has revealed that she gets panic attacks, and has bouts with anxiety. "I’m not someone who is a stranger to panic attacks or anxiety," Bosworth, 28, tells the March issue of "Nylon," on sale next Tuesday. Bosworth says her real-life experience with anxiety helped her with her role as a self-mutilating college student in "Another Happy Day" by writer/director Sam Levinson . "I've been more artistically fulfilled this past year than I have ever been," she says. "Sam wasn’t fearful of the dark places, and I think I have a healthy amount of dark places to go to." "I’ve had my fair share of on-the-verge moments in my life, so it was really kind of tapping into my own life experience, and that gets a little weird," says Bosworth, who was shot by Marvin Scott Jarrett for the "Nylon" cover.

Kate Bosworth graces the March edition of Nylon in short shorts and a midriff-baring top. The actress, who is famous for both her style and her film career, has been jetting from one Fashion Week to the next recently. She was at Calvin Klein's show in NYC and joined her Bff and Baby costar Rachel Bilson in the front row at Burberry in London yesterday. Kate talked about bringing her chic sensibilities to her new career as a designer with JewelMint, her upcoming film Another Happy Day, and what she'd do if acting weren't an option. Here are highlights from her interview, and check out Nylon for more pictures: On why she launched JewelMint: "I wanted to make everything $30. There's nothing in that price range, really. You can go to, like, Claire's and get something for $5, and the next level up is over $100. This is a middle range of really cute,...

Lindsay Lohan joined other starlets like Mischa Barton and Paris Hilton last night for Nylon's 11th anniversary party at the Trousdale club in La. Mischa recovered from her recent unfortunate pants incident with a gold dress, while Paris stuck with something sparkly alongside her sister Nicky. Seeing LL, Paris, and Mischa out together gives us a flashback to a few years ago, when the trio caused their fair share of mayhem. Paris seems to have her act together now, but Lindsay's still grabbing headlines for her troubles and Mischa's unfortunately doing the same. Lindsay made it another late one - she changed her outfit after the bash to make the party rounds for the second evening in a row, as she continues letting off steam in the wake of her father's announcing his engagement to her former assistant Kate Major.

A sensitively handled, intelligently acted romantic drama about a promising actress who finds out she's been infected with AIDS, "Touch Me" adroitly avoids the usual disease-of-the-week pitfalls.
Former first assistant director H. Gordon Boos ("Platoon", "Tin Cup"), who also co-wrote the melodrama-free script with Greg H. Sims, does a fine job with the potentially tricky material and an interesting cast.
Still, given the downer subject matter and no Tom Hanks or even a Mary-Louise Parker on the marquee, "Touch Me" is going to have a tough time attracting mainstream audiences despite the ultimately upbeat tone.
Amanda Peet ("She's the One") delivers a nicely contained performance as Brigette, an attractive young woman whose life is really starting to come together. She's just landed the female lead in a Los Angeles production of David Mamet's "Speed the Plow" and has embarked on a promising relationship with Adam (Michael Vartan), who manages the fitness club where she works part time as an aerobics instructor.
But then comes the phone call that will change things forever -- a former boyfriend is dying of AIDS, and she may have been infected. A subsequent blood test confirms her worst fears, and while Adam still wants very much to be a part of her life, she shuts him out and moves back to her hometown. Gradually, however, as time and potent new drugs begin to initiate the healing process, Brigette learns how to live again.
At the heart of the picture is a crucial, believable rapport between Peet and Vartan (who bears a passing resemblance to Luke Perry), both of whom do affecting work. Memorable, too, are Erica Gimpel as a mother who's dying of the virus, Peter Facinelli as Vartan's always-partying Little Brother and Greg Louganis in his big-screen debut as a nurturing member of Peet's support group.
Technical support is solid across the board, particularly director of photography Giles Dunning and production designer Abigail Mannox, who create distinctive lighting and color schemes to neatly evoke the picture's shifting emotional phases.
