Kristen Stewart and Kate Hudson help Burberry go fashionably forward in 3-D

Wanna sit front row at fashion week with Kristen Stewart, Kate Hudson and Anna Wintour? Looks like we might be one step closer, thanks to Burberry head Christopher Bailey.

The designer showed his Fall-Winter 2010 collection in London on Tuesday, with 3-D broadcasts for celebs and style makers in Los Angeles, Tokyo, Paris and New York.

I attended the L.A. viewing hosted by Daily Beast editor Tina Brown at Milk Studios in Hollywood -- with "Twilight Saga" star Nikki Reed, "Big Love" hottie Aaron Paul and "High School Musical" gal Ashley Tisdale.

Milk was decked out with minimal white benches, and English-style rain was projected on the walls to help transport the crowd to the London runway.  "Interesting idea," Brown said, "no?"

Champagne was passed and new-incarnation 3-D glasses were handed out -- it's Burberry, no one expected the red and blue specs --  and then Bailey's aviation-themed collection was screened, with Hudson, Wintour and Stewart in the virtual audience. 

"It's the 'Avatar' of fashion," Brown said, looking sleek in a black cocktail dress.

Call James Cameron, Mr. Bailey. I'm sure the Na'vi need new threads for the sequel.

PREACH IT! Actually, don’t preach it. Don’t say anything, ladies. It's not really sexy.

Attention, Hollywood babes: Stop talking, stay out of the spotlight and you just might find yourself one of the world’s most desirable women! Wouldn’t that be exciting?

Don’t answer that. That’s talking.

According to a spanking-new poll of the 99 most desirable women -- released by the website AskMen.com -- the world’s best girlfriend or wife material comes in the form of an actress named Emmanuelle Chriqui. No. 2 on the list is woman named Marisa Miller. No. 4? Alessandra Ambrosio. Haven’t heard of them? Exactly.

"[Chriqui] is not out there making a spectacle of herself, which could sully her image," AskMen.com editor in chief James Bassil told Reuters. "A lot of the behavior we see in the media is not the kind of behavior that you want to see in a girlfriend or wife. You can get over-saturation, and we don't want to see their real and sometimes stained and depressed sides of their lives."

There’s more.

“All the top women we see in this list are pretty well behaved and respectable women. We don't see a lot of them parading around in public unless it is in the framework of their careers," Bassil said.

Fact: Ambrosio and Miller are Victoria’s Secret models. So it’s perfectly OK for them to “parade around” in their underwear and gigantic angel wings. That doesn’t count as making a spectacle of oneself. It’s not OK, however, for these ladies to command much attention beyond that.

A-Rod who? Kate Hudson throws a party with sexy Santa babies in charge of valet parking

Kate Hudson welcomed family and friends for a Christmas party Friday night at her Pacific Palisades home. (That's not to be confused with her Malibu home, by the way.)

Upon arrival, guests gave their keys to female valets in short-skirted Santa suits, the Mail Online reports. Now, we know Santa would never take a car on a joy ride around the block, right? Click and scroll down to see the lovely ladies.

On Kate's guest list: Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, Fergie, Josh Duhamel, Kate Beckinsale, Liv Tyler, Tobey Maguire and Jason Statham. 

And recent ex-beau Alex Rodriguez? He was spotted dining alone in Miami.

Shopping with the stars: Reese Witherspoon, Kellan Lutz and Tori Spelling

Sure, the holiday spirit makes us warm and fuzzy all over. You know what else does? Cashmere! And no one puts the cash in cashmere like celebs shopping for gifts.

The Ministry has hot sightings of stars stocking up on loot for family and friends.

Reese Witherspoon, Kellan Lutz, Goldie Hawn and Tori Spelling were all seen...

Nicole Kidman, Madonna, Fergie and friends light up New York's 'Nine' premiere

Nicole Kidman, Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson, Marion Cotillard, Fergie and Judi Dench all hit the red carpet Tuesday night for the rollout of "Nine" in New York -- resulting in a virtual fame explosion at the Ziegfeld Theatre.

Now if only some stars would help promote the movie musical.

No film this year has a celeb-packed ensemble like Rob Marshall's new one does -- and nary a lunch, photo call or premiere (including the Dec. 9 event in L.A.) has taken place without obscenely A-list attendance from the "Nine" cast. The arrival photos are below, but even more delicious Tuesday night in New York were ...

Kate Hudson and A-Rod: Are they or aren't they?

Are Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez a grand slam or benched?

Fine, we'll leave the sports references in more capable hands. Still, speculation is rampant that the seven months' strong lovebirds are dunzo.

HollywoodLife.com reported Monday that Rodriguez had a wild party weekend in Miami, schmoozing with models and female fans and "acting single." Perhaps he should leave the acting to Kate.

Today Us magazine has sources supposedly confirming the rift, saying Hudson's thirst for publicity surrounding the relationship has driven A-Rod away.

"Alex wanted someone who was more interested in building a long-term relationship than just building their profile," the insider said.

Though, mystery of mysteries, on David Letterman's show Thursday night, Hudson actually answered some of Dave's questions about A-Rod and their "fun" summer of day games and party nights. (The video is below -- decide for yourself if she's all giggly and in love, or getting kind of peeved.)

VIDEO: Kate Hudson counts tampons, Goldfish on her pre-Oscars checklist

Behind-the-scenes video of Kate Hudson's lovely Harper's Bazaar shoot has surfaced, and the bubbly blond has revealed some, ahem, unconventional award show habits.

Hudson had a hand in imagining her spread for the fashion mag, where she was interested in seeing haute couture and expensive jewels in settings like gas stations and convenience stores.

"I've definitely had that moment when there are emergencies and you're going somewhere, and you're running into 7Eleven ... you grab some tampons and Goldfish and you go to the Oscars," Hudson said.

Star-spotting: 25 offbeat places to impress the guests

The turkey was delicious, the mashed potatoes rich and creamy, and that pumpkin pie -- well, nobody threw it at Grandma, even after she decided to tell everyone they needed a haircut.

So it's Friday, and you're facing the brutal truth: The relatives aren't going home any time soon. They're up and raring to go, they've already done Disneyland and the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the "Law & Order" marathon can go on only so long before someone takes the law into his or her own hands. Now what?

Just add sequins: In 'Nine,' Kate Hudson emerges as a song-and-dance diva

The rock 'n' roll flick "Almost Famous" wasn't Kate Hudson's first movie, but it was the first that made big audiences give her a big "wow." As Penny Lane, she was almost perfect as the groupie young enough to get someone arrested, but fabulous enough to get away with it.

Now she's kicking it up a notch with her song-and-dance prowess in "Nine," above. Before seeing this "ET" clip of Hudson singing (and dancing to) "Cinema Italiano," who knew?

Looks as if  something must've rubbed off during her marriage to Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson. Maybe mom Goldie Hawn gave her a few tips? Or maybe not.

We can't imagine that boyfriend A-Rod would be pushing Kate toward a music career -- not after his whole Madonna kerfuffle. Still, maybe he prefers Kate's singing.

The movie, which also stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Penélope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren, Judi Dench and Fergie, opens in L.A. and New York on Dec. 18 and goes wide on Christmas.

Says Kate's character Stephanie, a film critic for American Vogue: "Style is the new content! It's what my readers love ... they want to live in an Italian movie."

To which we say, "Ciao!"

Hit the jump to see Kate singing along to "Tiny Dancer" in "Almost Famous" (eSmooches to Cameron Crowe), plus more surprising movie-star song turns.
