MC Precious - Mariah Carey, Movie Heavyweight

You can take the pretty out of the girl, but can that equate to a movie with good reviews? It's a formula that has worked for a number of beauties in the past, and Mariah Carey is betting the same for herself.

It is hard to believe that a year ago, this was the super svelte MC. Now Carey, 40, has packed on the pounds, the commoners hairdo and a dour look for her role as a social working in "Precious", a biting tale about a young girl suffering emotional and physical abuse at home. The film has already won the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and is showing at Cannes Film Festival. She may have finally found the vehicle to move her beyond the nightmare of "Glitter". Precious opens this November.

She's also been looking pretty happy with her young paramour. Maybe she can time the packing of the pounds and work on becoming MCpreggers with Nick.

Zoe Saldana - true Star Trek beauty

I am not a trekkie, but I couldn't help falling in love with the new Star Trek movie. If you watched the original series, there was plenty of history and body language to link the two, and the storytelling was exceptional. I was a huge fan of the clever way they went about crafting the young characters into the adults we remember (with more action and a tad less cheese).

The entire cast was easy on the eyes, but I had extra cheers for Zoe Saldana.I had a chance to meet her a while back and she has such as sweet disposition. At that time, the person introducing us and told me she was the next "it" girl. He was more than right. I am thrilled Zoe has found a movie that locks her in as a household name. Star Trek is also something she'll hopefully be able to enjoy in well made sequels down the road.

Zoe is big on green and organics. I would love to gab with her about Star Trek beauty and her own routine. Maybe we'll have that chance down the road.
