Mirror MirrorWe hope you haven't already taken your Fairytale Whimsy Pills today, because otherwise, this next thing might just send you into overload: the full-length international trailer for "Mirror Mirror" is here, and it's delivering a dose of Twee so powerful that even the grumpiest of codgers can't watch it without getting the warm-and-fuzzies.

The new trailer re-introduces us to the film's big, bold cast of characters—including a sweet 'n' sassy Snow White (played by pretty, pretty Lily Collins, who manages to make even the most ill-advised headpiece look charming), a murderous, commanding queen (Julia Roberts, looking just a tad too thrilled at her first role as a cackling villainess), a deliciously robust Prince Charming (Armie "putting the 'HAM' in" Hammer, who's clearly enjoying his first stab at slapstick comedics) and a number of high-octane little persons armed with ninja skills and accordion stilts.

With two different Snow White-related films on the docket for 2012, some folks have been wondering how "Mirror Mirror" would distinguish itself from the fairytale pack. And with the trailer out on Yahoo!, now we know the answer: It's completely, utterly, 100 percent ridiculous. But in a fun way!

Compared with its gothic, gritty competitor, this Snow White is a slapstick campfest; there's witty swordfight repartee between Lily Collins and Armie Hammer, Julia Roberts as a hammy, scenery-chewing diva queen, and Nathan Lane doing... well, that thing that Nathan Lane does.

Fairy tale fans, throw your hands up! The first set of stills from the still-untitled 2012 "Snow White" fantasy flick has hit the web, and they are fantabulous.

The pics, which have cropped up on Entertainment Weekly, Yahoo!, and People offer a long-awaited sneak peek at Lily Collins as the pretty, pretty princess and Julia Roberts as the hot evil witch—plus a good look at Armie Hammer as the handsome prince and a host of small actors as the famous dwarves. But it's the leading ladies who steal the show in these photos, with costumes so deliciously whimsical that, if nothing else, we'll be checking out this movie strictly to ogle the clothes.

With all the box office spoils Prince Charming intends to reap over the next few years, he better reward our long-suffering loyalty with a fancy dinner at Per Se and a new pair of glass slippers.

There's no denying fairy tale movies are a total thing right now, and there's yet another to add to the burgeoning list. (One, we should add, we're pretty psyched about.) "True Grit" star Hailee Steinfeld is reportedly attached to a "Sleeping Beauty" script floating around Hollywood!

Deadline describes the screenplay as "a revisionist take on the fairy tale that will give Steinfeld a lot more to do than nap while waiting for a charming prince's peck to awaken her from a witch's curse. The new version is told from her point of view as she enters the dream world and has to find her way out." (If you ask us, the flick sounds like a spell-bound version of "If I Stay" or "Wake," but whatever).

Typically when you hear an actor or actress wants to try their hand at something new—be it singing or producing or starting a line of perfumes and colognes—most of the time it's hard not to think, 'Don't quit your day job!'

But when it comes to someone like the uber-talented Drew Barrymore, we can't help but get excited about her latest venture, be it on or off-screen. After directing 2009's underrated, kick-butt roller derby movie "Whip It," Drew will, thankfully be heading behind the camera once more, this time for a genre that's even more up her alley: romantic comedies!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Drew, who was last seen in the funny romance-from-afar flick "Going The Distance," will be at the helm of "How To Be Single," the big-screen adaptation of the novel by the same name that "explores the loves lives and break-ups of a group of New Yorkers over the course of 10 years." There's no word yet on whether Drew will also star in the movie.

Though we never need an excuse to watch a romantic comedy or support Drew Barrymore, we wanted to share three big reasons why we think this pairing is going to be a match made in movie heaven:

The last couple of months have had no shortage of awards shows, but they were all a lead-up to the biggest night of them all: the 83rd Annual Academy Awards. We had been looking forward to the Oscars for awhile now, not only because we wanted to find out which films would win, but because it's the night celebs don their very best on the red carpet. That means the gowns are more dramatic, the jewelry is more expensive (at least we'd like to think so!) and the hairstyles are even more sky-high (hello, Reese's ponytail!).

Luckily, we weren't disappointed. Rodarte, Marchesa and Chanel were all in attendance and they all looked phenomenal (to be fair, so did the actresses who were them!). While the designers varied, the trends were pretty noticeable. The carpet was flooded with sequins that left us dazzled, lace that showed just the right amount of skin and lots of nude and lipstick red dresses!

Keep reading to find out who made the cut on our best dressed list for Oscars 2011!

If Natalie Portman is vying for the best-dressed mommy-to-be, she definitely has our vote. Natalie arrived in a deep purple gown by Rodarte which she paired with Tiffany jewels. The dress was perfect, and the hair (she parted most of it to one-side) was just as great. Of course, co-star Mila Kunis was nothing short of stunning herself in a breathtakingly beautiful lavender dress by Elie Saab. We loved the lace detail, her loose bun and eye-catching earrings.

Happy Birthday, Ellen DeGeneres! The dance-happy daytime television host turns 53 today and celebrated her birthday in style with a little help from her famous friends who stopped by "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." Ellen (pictured) tweeted from her page about the birthday ep, "I'm not gonna lie to you, it was amazing" and when we heard about just some of the guests we knew she wasn't kidding! After Pink stopped by, she re-tweeted the news, "Julia Roberts and @Pink help celebrate Ellen DeGeneres' 53rd birthday on @TheEllenShow" while musical guests One Eskimo posted, "Happy birthday Ellen! So happy to be part of your special birthday @theellenshow http://yfrog.com/gzfzklpqj."

But it wasn't just Ellen's set that was having a blast as the fellas over at the upcoming movie "Ten Year" shared their fun with the Twitterverse. Nick Zano joked, "(me), Anthony Mackie and @channingtatum in our future Cop Drama on the CW. http://plixi.com/p/72541971" but his co-star Channing Tatum cleared up any confusion as he told followers, "For those asking, @NICKZANO was just kidding about the "Cop Drama on the CW" show part. Filming 'Ten Year' right now."

Ever since Rosalind Russell and Cary Grant's newsroom shenanigans in "His Girl Friday," Hollywood has been fascinated by the Working Girl—that chic, career-driven leading lady who kicks ass, takes names and looks fabulous in a pencil skirt. Driven by pure professionalism, the Working Girl excels at the office, intimidates her male coworkers, sacrifices her personal life to work extra hours and, of course, would never, ever get caught using an office Xerox to make illicit photocopies of her butt.

The latest star to take on a working woman role is Rachel McAdams, who we'll get to see play a hotshot morning show producer when her latest film, "Morning Glory" premieres this week. And today, we're taking a look at all the ladies who paved the way before her, with a list of our favorite working girls throughout cinematic history. Which of these actresses would we most want to share a cubicle with? Check it!

The SwitchLet's face it, with the exception of "Inception," "Eclipse" and "Toy Story 3," this has been a pretty lackluster summer movie season. In fact, the most successful films of the season were sequels, animated films, remakes and 3D movies — or some combination of the four.

What's especially noteworthy is that none of those top films leaned solely on one star to do the box office heavy lifting. Now, some of the summer's latecomers, which do rely on one marquee name, are not fairing so well at the box office — not to mention taking a bit of the shine off of some of our favorite stars. The most recent film to fall into this trap was Jennifer Aniston's "The Switch," which many are predicting will be her weakest box office performance to date.

Is this the end of the former "Friends"' film career as we know it? Hit the jump to see what we think Jen's — and other summer stars' — box office bankability will be in the coming months.

Despite the fact "Eat Pray Love" hasn't gotten the most love from critics, the overwhelming consensus is that Julia Roberts carries her weight in the film. And that seems to be what keeps audiences coming back for more.

Over the past 22 years, be it in "Pretty Woman," the "Oceans" trilogy, "Charlotte's Web" or "Erin Brockovich," Julia and has always been one of America's leading sweethearts (maybe that's why they gave her a lead in that movie?).
