Bo Derek

Bo Derek, Who knew German fashion shows are so popular. We spy Danny Glover, Superman, Supergirl, Bo Derek, and Dita von Teese. What an odd assortment of celebrities.

Also featured today: Helen Mirren loves the moped at the premiere of her new film “Brighton;” Jennifer Lopez stops by the SiriusXM Studio; and Helena Bonham Carter works hard to tone down her fashion choices at the 26th Annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival.
                                                                              
Spotted yesterday at a top German fashion gig, Bo Derek is still the stunner even though she obviously has aged considerably -- and yet very gracefully -- since her iconic performance in the Blake Edwards film, aptly called 10 and co-starring with Dudley Moore, which hit theaters in 1979.
                                                                       
These days some three decades later, any high number will do for Bo Derek who made a grand, if modest, entrance at the Lambertz Monday Night 2011 Schoko & Fashion party held at Cologne's Alten Wartesaal last night.

In fact, some sources can't get over how beautiful Bo Derek is at 54. Take the words of Perez Hilton, who claims, 'She looks absolutely STUNNING, no?! ...Way to prove that you can still look great without tons of severe knifestyling,

Pam Grier

Actress Pam Grier has been a major American movie star since getting her start in Roger Corman's women-in-prison movie "The Big Doll House" in 1971. She will mark her 40th year in the film business with a role in the forthcoming Tom Hanks vehicle "Larry Crowne". It will be her 65th film appearance.

By 1973 she was soon becoming a star and standout in all sorts of films: The Twilight People (1973), Scream Blacula Scream (1973), and The Arena (1974). In the mid 70's, Grier was in a number of Blaxploitation pictures as the bonafide star...  Foxy Brown (1974), Sheba Baby (1975), Bucktown (1975) and Friday Foster (1975). She was a box office draw, and it didn't hurt that she was also a smoking hot babe.
                                                                                     
The genre tapered off in the last part of the 70's and she made one final appearance in Blaxploitation film of the era with the sequel to Mandingo, Drum (1976). It was time to move on for Grier and she sought mainstream roles in films like the Richard Pryor vehicle Greased Lightning. Her personal life heated up while her career cooled off a bit but she made a mini comeback with the gritty Paul Newman actioner Fort Apache The Bronx (1981).

While her memorable stint in a high profile film didn't immediately lead to much work for Grier, she persisted and ended up steadily working in film and TV until her full blown comeback with Quentin Tarantino's loving nod to the films of the era with Jackie Brown (1997). Audiences fell in love with her all over again and she garnered a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nomination and the respect she so deserves.
