    The torrent of spring campaigns continued this week with images from St. John, a video from Bally and both from Salvatore Ferragamo. Kate Winslet’s back for her second season with St. John. Craig McDean shot the actress in what looks like an apartment full of objects usually found on a movie set.  This probably means she’ll wear St. John at the Golden Globes this weekend (she’s nominated for Carnage) but we hope she goes for something a bit more interesting. Bally, meanwhile, has released the behind the scenes video of their spring ads and it’s full of hot models—Julia Stegner, Miranda Kerr—but more importantly, puppies! And baby lambs! The lambs get up to all sorts of mischief in the video that you should watch after the jump. And lastly, Ferragamo’s released a behind the scenes look at their tropical Mikael Jansson shot images starring Gisele and Noah Mills in Jamaica. Mills sounds pretty thrilled (or as thrilled as a model can sound) to be working with Gisele for the first time.

    We’re not sure if you’ve heard, but Twitter has become the new Facebook. Unlike FB, on Twitter you can follow and tweet your favorite celebrities that you wish were your friends and sometimes pretend are. (Has anyone actually ever gotten a reply?) And it’s good for pretty much anything: remember when Osama Bin Laden died, or Blue Ivy was born, where was the first place people turned? #Twitter. Now that the the First Lady herself has graced Twitter with her presence (@MichelleObama) While most celebrities tweet for promotion purposes (The Kardashians/Justin Bieber) and some just to keep you envious of their awesome lives (Still the Kardashians/Justin Bieber), others are actually worth pressing that follow button. Here we have the best celebrities to follow on Twitter; from the laugh out loud funny to the inspirational. Check em out along with some of our fav tweets! 
    Lady Gaga

    Although she mainly tweets (and twit pics) about her new releases and her glam life, it’s still cool to get a glimpse into this ‘Born This Way’ singer’s life. Whether you’re a die hard little monster or not, her tweets will definitely keep you if not entertained, at least interested. Favorite: “My new years resolution: Never be afraid to be kicked in the teeth. Let the blood and the bruises define your legacy. – Lady Gaga 2012″ Umm OK, Gags. 
    Shaquille O’Neal

    His bio reads: “VERY QUOTATIOUS, I PERFORM RANDOM ACTS OF SHAQNESS.” Yes, in all caps. The now retired basketball player is surprisingly and randomly funny with his obscure and whacky tweets that read similar to the stream-of-consciousness of a ditzy 13-year old girl. Favorite: “Why do they call minneapolis, the twin cities, nobody here looks a like, waaa waaa waaaaaa”
     Karl Lagerfeld

    OK, no, his Twitter is not actually verified. And it’s most likely not him tweeting, but we like to imagine Mr. Lagerfeld himself tweeting these always retweetable little gold nuggets of wisdom and inspiration. A girl can dream, right? Favorite: “I’m never content with what I do. I live in a sort of permanent dissatisfaction. I think that’s the secret to doing things well.” Stephen Colbert If you’re looking for some comedic relief between the tweets about what an awful day your friend is having and the recent devastating news story, Stepen Colbert’s Twitter is where you should (need) to turn for amazing new musings. Favorite: “I learned a lot covering the Iowa caucuses. For instance: Iowa and Idaho are not the same place. Uh oh, I’m becoming a geography nerd!” 
    Leandra Medine 
    Photo: Getty Images
    Also known as the Man Repeller, Leandra’s Twitter is the best account out there that combines both fashion with comedy. Much like her blog, but shorter and borderline better because she gets to tweet parts of her outfit daily. Favorite: “I’m so over bras” 
    Kanye West 
    Photo: Getty Images 
    Surprise, surprise, it’s the Twitter King himself. When Kanye tweets, the world is a better place. Or at least the world stops to listen-ahem-read. His tweets are a mix of genius and insanity that range from fashion to music to complete randomness. Much like Kanye himself, his feed is both entertaining and sometimes annoying. Favorite: “I hate when I’m on a flight & wake up with a water bottle next 2 me like oh great now I gotta be responsible for this water  bottle.” 
    Rev Run
     
    Photo: Getty Images 
    Rev Run from Run DMC, provides the world of Twitter with daily tweets of inspiration. His tweets are short, to the point and always uplifting. If you’re ever feeling down, just scroll through his feed and you’re sure to crack a smile more than once. Favorite: “Be happy” 
    Ellen DeGeneres 
     
    Photo: Getty Images 
    The completely hilarious Ellen is just as loveable on Twitter as she is on her show. Everything from witty one-liners to promotion of her show, it’s a must-follow account. You might even be lucky enough to get a retweet. Favorite: “Welcome to the world baby Blue Ivy and congratulations to your parents, Beyonce & Jay-Z. Love, your Godmother! *Unconfirmed”
    Barack Obama
     
    Photo: Getty Images 
    Hello, he’s the president. It might be nice to know what’s going on with the state of our country from time to time. we guess. Favorite: Well, they’re all pretty important. 
    Mindy Kaling

    Named by TIME Magazine as one of the Twitter’s best, The Office writer and actress, Mindy Kaling never ever disappoints. A little self-deprecating and sometimes cynical, Mindy is a pro at 140-characters or less one-liners. If you’re not following her, do it. Now. Seriously. Favorite: “Inception was so confusing to me I have to pretend I didn’t see it so no one asks me my opinion or any questions about it.”

    We can now announce that Balenciaga has just recently signed none other than star Kristen Stewart to be the face of the newest Balenciaga fragrance for women this year! Kristen has already explained her love to the famous and exclusive brand: “Balenciaga has always stood out to me. Even when I first began to consider fashion and admittedly rarely knew the brand I was wearing, I always recognized and loved Balenciaga." she revealed to Women's Wear Daily. She also said: "It feels full circle to be involved with something that spoke to me then and of course continues to excite me now. The brand is just cool. That’s the way it is. I feel drawn to it. It provokes on a number of levels. It isn’t afraid or contrived. It hits a very cool balance, always. Always pretty undeniable.”We are really looking forward for the result and hopefully we will see some glimpse of the campaign pictures soon! We really think it's good for a company team up with such a popular superstar as Kristen! (cocoperez)

    Radio show host Fearne Cotton was spotted outside the BBC studios in yet another cool outfit. She chose a daring look combining baggy jeans with feminine ballerinas, and she totally pulls it off! And isn't her handbag to die for?

    Of course Beyoncé and Jay-Z's daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, is going to be one famous baby, but this is a new record we talking about! Baby Blue is already making history by officially becoming the youngest person to ever reach the Billboard music charts, at less than a week old! Baby Blue is credited as a collaborator for Jay-Z's newly recorded song, "Glory," which the rapper wrote about his daughter soon after her birth. Can you imagine, not even one week old and she's already breaking Billboard records? Wow this little girl is going to run the world one day! (celebritygossip)

    Sure we haven't always loved Madonna's style, she's often a bit too much out there or dresses too young. But this time, we actually like what she's wearing. The black gothic garments look cool, and the red accessories make it really interesting. Looks like someone's learning!

    We knew that little Blue Ivy would be a diva, especially with Beyonce and Jay-Z as parents but we didn't know that it would already be so extreme, after all she's only a few days old! We found out that Beyonce and Jay-Z have lavished their daughter with gifts totaling around $1.5 million! From a gold rocking horse ($600,000), a custom-made crib ($20,000), and a high chair covered in Swarvrovski crystals ($15,000) Blue Ivy is set for life! Do we think this is a bit ridiculous? Yes! But is it also totally fab? YES! (nypost)

    After seeing Josh Hutcherson on the red carpet at the People’s Choice Awards, we had to bump him up from Up-and-Coming Hollywood Cutie to Crush of the Week. The 19-year-old has been named “The One to Watch in 2012″ by MTV and not only do we agree,  we’re sure we’re to have a great time watching him. The Kentucky native—who moved to Cali to seek out acting opportunities—has not one but four movies coming out in 2012. Besides The Hunger Games, in which he plays Peeta, a tribute from District 12, he will also appear in Red Dawn, a remake of a thriller from the 80′s, Carmel, and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, the sequel to the 2008 sci-fi adventure flick Journey to the Center of the Earth. Josh doesn’t seem to mind a crazy promoting and shooting schedule, telling MTV that “2012 is going to be a really big year [and] I’m looking forward to it, [There's going to be] a lot of press, a lot of traveling with that. I’m excited for ‘The Hunger Games’ to come out and see how that does and hopefully get started on the second one.” The nineteen year old also prides himself on the movies that he’s been in and counts himself lucky to not have been in any movies that “suck.” “That’s the most important thing for my career,” he told MTV “to choose the right material and to choose the characters that I care about and stories I want to tell. So that’s kind of how I’ve gone about my career since I was 9, more or less.” Luckily for us, all the hype surrounding The Hunger Games has led to Josh doing some great interviews, including sharing his fear of spiders, his love of basketball and what he looks for in a girl. He told Celebuzz, “ For me it’s all about being true to yourself and being real. I think if a girl tries to be something she’s not to try to make you think otherwise of her, then that’s just unattractive. I’d much rather be with somebody that’s naturally who they are.” There you have it ladies, be yourselves, and our Crush of the Week just might love you as much as we love him.

    Attention all music-loving boys and girls: the Coachella 2012 lineup is finally here! This year, the music festival is expanding to two consecutive weekends, topping off a series of three spring music festivals that are sure to rock your season—South by Southwest (SXSW) and Ultra being the other two main players. But what’s arguably more important than what bands are hitting the stage is what to wear to each festival, which year by year attracts the most fashionable attendees and Hollywood celebs—Lea Michele, Ashley Greene, Vanessa Hudgens, and Kate Bosworth all hit Coachella last year dressed in their trendiest get-ups. To make sure you’re looking your best as you dance you heart out, here’s a guide to what to wear to this spring’s most talked about fests: MORE: Check out our must-know tips for surviving outdoor concerts! SXSW When: March 13-18 Where: Austin, TX SXSW is probably the most laid-back of the three, with most bands playing in small venues and bars around Austin. Since you’re in Texas, you’ve got to think southern with your wardrobe: we’re talking cowboy-style leather boots, cutoff denim shorts, breezy linen blouses, and a checkered flannel to drape over your shoulder (SXSW takes place in late March, so it should get a little chilly at night—even in Texas). Try these items for a perfectly southern look:

    Ultra Music Festival
    When: March 23-25 Where: Bayfront Park, Downtown Miami You can tell by Ultra’s headliners (Tiesto, Justice, Aviici, and David Guetta) that this weekend is going to be one big party blasting house music all night long, so you might as well dress the part. You’ll be in Miami, and if that isn’t hot enough, the pounds of sweat pouring down your body as you dance will make you want to be glad that you dressed for the warm weather. Throw on your brightest neons and fluorescents and strap on a pair of colorful high top Dunks or Chuck Taylors to protect your feet—trust us, you don’t want some dude stomping all over your newly polished beach pedicure! Add some bold stunner shades to make a statement (oh, and to keep that Florida sun out of your eyes!) Give these ultra-cool items a try:

    Coachella 
    When: Weekend 1: April 13-15, Weekend 2: April 20-22 Where: Indio, California Definitely the most fashion-forward festival, Coachella is replete with fashionistas and fashionistos decked out in the season’s most trendy garb. With street style photographers abound, you’ll want to make sure you’re looking chic enough for the scene. The most important thing to remember is to wear lightweight material, because the temperature can really soar in the middle of the desert. A flirty printed dress is the perfect piece to wear, and you can accessorize it with fun tribal add-ons like big earrings and a feathery headband. Pair your patterned frock with strappy sandals—just make sure they’re flats!—so you can endure the weekend (or two) of music without getting your toes battered and bruised. Look like you’re a native Cali girl in these trendy pieces:
