Angelababy

Just who is Angelababy?
Here's pictures of her with minimal make up and a campaign shot for Merry-Go-Round.




 Angelababy burst into the entertainment scene in Hong Kong around the period between 2007 to 2010.
Her rise to stardom are primarily attributed to her good looks and the huge controversy around whether she had cosmetic surgery to enhance her looks.

The media, tabloids and blogs online were actively speculating on the success of supposed surgical enhancements. She has repeatedly denied all of the accusations. Nonetheless, she has often been referenced as a favored celebrity among girls who visit cosmetic surgeons to get their face beautified.
     




                 



She started off as a print model and is currently active in the Hong Kong movie industry.

         



 She has also modelling in Japan.
 



Her Dad is Half-German and she has a brother as well.
Here are some pictures from a blog. (Not sure if it is really her authentic blog.)

She appeared as a love interest in one of Jay Chou's concert in 2007. Some snapshots:



Angelababy has channeled Audrey Hepburn to publicize her own Baby Cafe restaurant.


Some other campaign shots she did for Baby Cafe earlier:







She has released 3 photo books to date:
1. Love Angelababy
2. Miss Angelababy
3. Angelababy - Paradise




There were accusations thrown on how the 3rd photo book was a rip off from a photo book of Rinka's.


Here's a look at the behind the scenes of the "Angelababy - Paradise" Photo Book Photo Shoot:




That's all I have for now on her. End.

Zooey Deschanel


Zooey Deschanel just really stands out from the rest of the Hollywood pack. She has this off-beat charm and the kindest, corn-flower blue, eyes I have ever come across in a celebrity.





If you've read about "Heaven" from Virginia Andrews, she really exemplifies the character description in the book, in terms of looks.

I first noticed her from a film with Sarah Jessica Parker in "Failure To Launch" (2006). She was a likeable and kinda eccentric character.




She looked kinda goofy in an ill-fitting gown for the premiere of the show in New York. Guess she had to have bad moments with fashion too.




Thereafter, she starred in a couple of other non-mainstream films that didn't really get her in the spotlight. 
Such as Gigantic (2007) and Yes Man (2008)

Zooey really took off in the indie flick - "500 Days Of Summer" (2009). She was cast opposite the charming Joseph Gordon-Levitt and dressed in various hues of blue throughout the film. The costumes were really pretty and light and played off well against her personal style.





She did a little youtube video with Joseph. Here's a quick look:



What Zooey had to say about the Video:

"I have known Joe Gordon-Levitt for going on 12 years. We first met in the summer of 2000 while doing a tiny movie called Manic, where we bonded over a mutual appreciation for Harry Nilsson and Nina Simone and I have been lucky enough to call him one of my dearest friends ever since. When we did 500 Days of Summer 8 years later, we spent every lunch hour dancing to Marvin Gaye in the hair and make up trailer; we had loads of fun. I hope to do a thousand more movies with him because he's simply the best. But in the meantime, we made a little New Year's duet for all of you! The original by Nancy Wilson. ENJOY! "

She was married for a while to this guy- Ben Gibbard. They got hitched in Seattle on September 19, 2009.

The paid called it quits 2 years later in November 2011. No third party was involved. They were both too busy with their own career it seems.


Zooey has also often been compared to Katy Perry. They are both brunettes with a light complexion and blue eyes. But they couldn't be further apart in terms of personality and styles.




This is what Zooey looks like as a blond.
I'm think she's better off as a brunette. She doesn't look like herself at all.

She looks kinda like Evan Rachel Wood below:. They have the same kind of eyes and peachy skin.



Here's a last snapshot of Zooey from a Rimmel campaign:
