Fictional Princesses

Guess what, Bettys? It's National Princess Week! Not only that, it's the first annual National Princess Week, so break out your tiaras and get ready for a celebration!

Okay, back up: Let's deal with the cynical side of things for a moment. It's true that National Princess Week was created by Disney and Target and is therefore largely a marketing ploy to get all of us credit card-happy consumers to buy llots of princess-themed things. I also suspect that it's not an accident that National Princess Week coincides with the week leading up to William and Kate's first wedding anniversary (by the way, happy anniversary, you two! We'll have a feature for you later in the week). Weird? A little.

But all that aside-and even putting aside for a moment some of the problems we're seeing with princess

What good will knowing Emma Watson's salary on Sofia Coppola's Bling Ring movie do the Burglar Bunch's defense? Mean Betty isn't entirely sure...

Emma Watson bling ring

Kittens, have you seen those photographs of former Harry Potter star Emma Watson that have recently begun making the rounds through this glorious invention we call the Internet? Heavens! It looks like Little Miss Emma-at 22, no longer quite so little!-has shed completely the good-girl image of the brainy Hermione Granger in favor of talking a walk on the proverbial (and perhaps literal) wild side! Clad only in a leather jacket, short shorts, a bra, and sky-high heels, the images feature Emma lounging languidly in the sun. How shocking!

Though perhaps not as shocking as at first it might seem; Emma, you see, is working. These photos were snapped on the set of Emma's new movie, The Bling Ring. Does that phrase sound familiar to you, kittens? Perhaps in conjunction with a certain Miss Paris

Actress Carey Mulligan and musician Marcus Mumford tied the knot this weekend in Britain. Congratulations!

Carey Mulligan Marcus Mumford

Who else is glad that Carey Mullian ended up with someone other than Shia LaBeouf? Don't get me wrong, I used to be a big Shia fan-for a while there, he looked like a nice young man who had some pretty good acting chops-but then he started to get really weird, and although he and Carey dated for over a year after shooting Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps together, I was really relieved when they broke up. Why? Because I really thought Carey, who is by all accounts a delightful person as well as an astonishing actress, could do much, much better than the increasingly eccentric former Disney star.

And hey, guess what? She did! According to the UK Daily Mail, Carey tied the knot with boyfriend Marcus Mumford, lead singer of the band Mumford & Sons, in a rustic-themed ceremony in the English countryside over the weekend. Congratulations

Kristen Stewart looked spectacular at the Kid's Choice awards. She smiled (oh so rare!) and we all fell in love with her sexy, bright blue lace dress by Stella McCartney and her matching bright blue pumps by Barbara Bui.

We love her look, but it's pricey! So we found the perfect "style twin" that would just as amazing on you!

After news of Dick Clark's death hit yesterday, celebrities took to Twitter to react.

Dick Clark

When news of Dick Clark's passing at the age of 82 hit yesterday, it hit hard. Known affectionately as "the World's Oldest Teenager," the entertainment legend suffered a massive heart attack following an outpatient procedure at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica.From American Bandstand to Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, there can be no denying the impact he had on the music industry in particular, as well as the entertainment industry at large; even though he had been in poor health since his stroke in 2004, it never stopped him from continuing to host his New Year's Eve festivities in Times Square every year (even if it meant having to enlist the help of Ryan Seacrest to do it).

The 'Homeland' actress opens up about playing a character who harbors a mental illness and dishes about her on-screen partner!

claire danes cover of capitol file

Claire Danes looks every bit the blonde bombshell on the cover of the May/June issue of Capitol File magazine. The Emmy-award winning star of Showtime's Homeland chatted with the mag about playing a kickass female CIA officer.

Her character also struggles to keep her bipolar disorder under wraps. Talk about a complicated role!

"I've been in therapy forever-I'm an armchair therapist at the very least," Danes told Capitol File. "Acting and psychology are not unrelated. They're both examinations of the human spirits…I'm really curious as to how people work, particularly people with certain conditions that make them different to the rest of us."

Danes also called co-star Mandy Patinkin, "just dreamy; I'm in constant awe of what he can do. And if I'm nervous about a scene or I think it's particularly tricky, I
