38 Never Looked Better!

Gwenyth Paltrow continues to shock Fl@unt with her edgy sophistication and frankly poetic pose showcased in her latest photoshoot in the newest edition of Harper's Bazaar. Check these flawless photos:

Here's examples of other movie stars who seem to be resisting the age monster. Age Ain't Nothing But A Number for this lot...

RYAN PHILLIPE, AGE 36

ANGELINA JOLIE, AGE 35

PAUL WALKER, AGE 37

KATE MOSS, AGE 37

Generation Next

An array of pop sensations who burst into the music industry a decade ago and have upheld their career success ever since, have turned the big 3-0 in the past few months. Fl@unt fondly looks upon these stars as the 21ST CENTURY ICONIC MUSIC GENERATION.

To celebrate the benchmark birthdays of these stars Fl@unt investigates how far they have come...

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - turned 30 on 31st January

Famous for his successful transition from boy-band member to established urban solo artist, JT's unfading cheekily handsome looks keeps him solidly popular with female fans everywhere. In recent years, movies have become the Tennessee native's main focus and he's not half bad in the acting game. Having said this - bring back the music JT! Fl@unt misses your sexy vocals.

ALICIA KEYS - turned 30 on 25th January

An artist that started with no gimmicks, no distractions, just a simple honest vocal performance accompanied by her limitless piano skills. This New York lady introduced herself back in 2001 as she intended to remain - her own artist. Winning countless Grammys after her first year of success, we knew the best was yet to come. Now grown into a naturally beautiful graceful woman with husband and child, Ms Keys has come a long way.

CHRISTINA AGUILERA - turned 30 on 18th December 2010

This sassy singer sure has had a bumpy ride musically and personally in the last year. Her music success has been sustained through strong image - from dirty girl to glam queen to electro diva. This woman has portrayed every part there is to play but let this not distract us from her undeniable voice. Settling for a curvier classy look of the matured woman nowadays, Ms Aguilera has found and image comfortable and hopefully closer to the real Christina.

BEYONCE - turning 30 4th September 2011

Part of the biggest girlband in the world and now the most famous, admirable musician of this time - Beyonce has been rightly marked into iconic status due to her creative music ability. With a good business head and sensible life choices, this woman can not be stopped.

BRITNEY SPEARS - turning 30 2nd December 2011

We've seen her grow up, get married, have children and make some major mistakes along the way but she's only human. She remains iconic due to being the first solo artist leading the music scene at the beginning of the 21st century with two platinum albums and world tours under her belt before the decade had truly started - all at the tender age of 19. Ms Spears is the THE ultimate pop icon who paved the way for superstars previously mentioned to make their mark on music.

It is hard for the young filmmaker not to envision immediate popularity, that being affected by the fact that his work will unlikely be perceived entirely as he intended.
~ Martin Dansky

Most people use music as a couch; they want to be pillowed on it, relaxed and consoled for the stress of daily living. But serious music was never meant to be soporific.

Vanessa Hessler Biography, Profile, Bio, Actress and Model Vanessa Hessler

Vanessa Hessler Biography, Profile, Bio

Vanessa Hessler Biography: Take one look at Vanessa Hessler and you'll immediately understand why the statuesque beauty has been compared favorably to Swedish actress Anita Ekberg. Born in Rome on January 21, 1988 to an Italian mother and an American father, Vanessa has spent much of her life modeling. Although only 18, Vanessa has already appeared in ads for Calvin Klein and Giorgio Armani, and has done runway work for Fendi and Gattinoni. She has worked with celebrities like Claudia Schiffer, and her gorgeous face has graced the covers of TV Spielfilm in Germany and GQ in Italy. In fact, Vanessa is just about everywhere you go in Italy, thanks to a wide-ranging series of promotional ads and billboards. We're sure no one has any complaints about her attempt to single-handedly keep the country beautiful. More than just another pretty face, Vanessa made her big-screen debut in 2005 in the Italian madcap comedy Natale a Miami. The story of two men who flee to Florida for Christmas after being dumped by their wives was such a hit in Italy that it outgrossed King Kong and The Chronicles of Narnia in its opening weekend. Although it is unlikely to do much business beyond Italy, the film has helped make Vanessa a star in her homeland thanks to her hilarious role as an underage nympho.

New Buzzz.........

These fresh music releases have got Fl@unt predicting big things for these new artists in 2011!

WRETCH 32

Hailing from Tottenham, North London, this 25-year-old grime MC has been spitting since his teens, finally reaching the bigtime as he scored his first official UK chart position at Number 5 this week. Check his mellow flow accompanied by chilled hip hop beats in his debut video 'Traktor' ft. L:

ALEXIS JORDAN

Born and raised in South Carolina, this 18-year-old vocal talent emerged in 2006 on America's Got Talent, making it through to the semi-finals. After her club hit 'Happiness', the young voice is back with loads of youthful sass and style. Hear her modernised urban sound for yourself in her follow-up video 'Good Girl' recently released:

A Darker Side in All of Us?

Natalie Portman gives a thrilling performance in Oscar-buzzed film Black Swan, in which she portrays the physical and psychological torment of a determined ballet dancer, helplessly consumed by her obsession with her dancing talent.

Her emergence - from a fresh-faced naive young woman - into the dark hindered soul of the Black swan is beautifully compelling, as we realise that there is, within all of us, a different personality - the side of our nature we would rather not surrender to. At which point does such resistance fade? Is it possible to detach ourselves from 'the dark side'?

Fl@unt picks images/clips from some films of the last ten years which closely focus on psychological strain and multiple personalities:

GIRL, INTERRUPTED (1999)

AMERICAN PSYCHO (2000)

We all know Christian Bale has a dark side (ahem) which makes this film even creepier...skip to 1.59secs for Patrick Bateman's self-psycho analysis:

FRANKIE & ALICE (2011)
This true tale of an African-American 70s stripper with multiple personality disorder, changing into a racist white American, is also generating Oscar buzz for main star Halle Berry. Check the trailer for this upcoming film:

Music Success of 2010: Diddy Dirty Money

At first, Fl@unt thought Diddy had run out of ideas to remain relevant by creating this random grouping consisting of American singer/songwriter Kalenna Harper and former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard.

However, the undeniable vocal talents of these women have catapulted Diddy back into the music forefront, boasting club hit 'Hello Good Morning' and new power anthem 'Coming Home'. Proving us wrong, Diddy shows there's still life in the rap mogul yet.

Check this video released back in December showcasing a chillingly groovy track off the Diddy Dirty Money album 'Last Train to Paris', released January 24th in the UK. Gotta love Swiss Beatz rhythm...

As the Dark Knight Rises...So Does the Reincarnation of Catwoman!

Anne Hathaway has beaten the likes of Charlize Theron, Kate Beckinsale, Keira Knightley, Jessica Biel and Gemma Arterton, landing probably the most recognised film role she will gain in her career as the leather-bound, whip-lashing CATWOMAN.

If Fl@unt were making casting decisions, the iconic violently sexy role would go to Keira Knightley, who evokes a more striking appeal, but that's just us. Hopefully, Hathaway will embody Cat-Woman more convincingly than Halle Berry failed to, back in 2004. Are you happy with Director Christoper Nolan's choice?

In spirit of cartoon/comic nostalgia, Fl@unt has compiled a list of actresses who would be perfect for playing the following animated roles if these characters were ever introduced into realistic film.

ARIEL, THE LITTLE MERMAID played by AMY ADAMS - The innocent yet cheeky charm of this sea princess matches Amy Adams warm vulnerability portrayed on-screen perfectly!

STORM, X-MEN played EVA PIGFORD - Remember this ANTM winner? Her glacial eyes and strong face are the typical traits possessed by this thunderous female comic heroine.

JASMINE played by KIM KARDASHIAN - She dressed up as the Indian Disney princess last Halloween, so the TV personality is already aware of the resemblance!
