Michelle Williams exited Beverly Hills restaurant Cecconi's looking noticeably thinner in a striped sweater, knee-length skirt and nude heels, on Tuesday afternoon -- is she beginning to feel the stress of awards season?
Williams' starring role as Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn has not only earned her a Golden Globe nod, and the Desert Palm Achievement Award at the Palm Springs International Film Fest last weekend, she might even bag the Oscar this year!
The actress was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Broke Back Mountain in 2005, but lost out to Rachel Weisz for her role in Constant Gardner. Will Michelle become the first Dawson's Creek star to take home an Academy Award?

Colin Farrell grabbed a beverage from The Coffee Bean in Hollywood yesterday, and the Irish stud darted into his SUV before we could really get a good glimpse of him.
Colin is currently shooting Seven Psychopaths with Woody Harrelson and Christopher Walken, which follows the story of a screenwriter who gets involved in a friend’s dog-kidnapping plot. Sounds promising!

Two Golden Globe nods could mean a second Oscar for George Clooney!
Looking incredibly dapper in a classic black suit, the actor stopped by Good Morning America in NYC to chat about his double Golden Globe noms for The Ides of March and The Descendants, and he also took the opportunity to get a bit political.
The Obama supporter confessed:
“I’m a Democrat — I’m a believer,” Clooney said. “I think he’s done a wonderful job, I think he’s having a tough time in a difficult environment. I root for him. I root for the President of the United States.”

After rumors surfaced that Skechers had "dropped" Kim Kardashian for a dog in their Super Bowl ad this year, the sneaker company rushed to the reality star's defense, claiming her contract simply "came to an end" in 2011.
It's been suspected the popular shoe brand was anxious to replace Kim K because they feared she might bring negative PR, in light of her recent divorce drama. But Leonard Armato, president of Skechers Fitness, said in a statement:
"Kim Kardashian has had a tremendously positive effect on the Skechers brand. Not only did Kim's Skechers Super Bowl ad generate over 1.6 Billion positive media impressions for Skechers, but she played a big part in Skechers moving up last year from 388 to 99 among companies with the highest brand trust. While Kim's contract with Skechers simply came to an end at the end of last year, we continue to have a great relationship with her as we do with all the other talent who have worked with the brand over the years. To say that she was "dropped" or "replaced" is misleading and untrue."
After Kardashian's sexy Super Bowl ad aired for the Shape-Up line, the company's Facebook page quickly jumped from 100,000 to 400,000 followers, an increase the company largely attributes to Kim.
Skecher's president also claims they are considering working with Miss K again, revealing, "We continue to discuss ways that we may work together in the future."
This year's Super Bowl ad will feature a French bulldog, and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, to promote Skecher's new line of GOrun shoes.

Philipp Plein
Lindsay Lohan appears in the new ad campaign for Philipp Plein, and the 25-year-old starlet looks quite stunning in the designer's latest collection of women's wear. From strapless dresses to short shorts with sky high pumps, we're practically drooling over these shots! Sure, Lilo looked hot in Playboy, but she's just as fine with her clothes on, right?
While Lindsay has been maintaining a relatively low profile in 2012, it sounds like she's getting back on track and lining up all sorts of gigs -- from JAG Jeans to that new Lifetime movie, she's going to be quite busy over the next few months!

Doesn't everyone where thigh high Christian Louboutin boots and a full face of makeup to get frozen yogurt?
Kim Kardashian strutted her sexy stuff into Pinkberry in Studio City to grab a creamy treat. By the looks of those spoonfuls, she was one happy girl!
Earlier in the day, the 31-year-old reality star took her pricey white Bentley to get washed .... and the gorgeous brunette managed to maintain her flawless face.

Jennifer Love Hewitt smiled for photographers after lunch in Studio City yesterday, and the 32-year-old actress showed off her slightly more slender frame in a casual denim ensemble. And speaking of frames, we definitely dig her rectangular glasses! We also love the fact that she's found a happy medium between sweats and bandage dresses for her daytime outings -- perhaps one of her New Year's resolutions was to hire a stylist?
While she started her week off on the right foot, it looks like today has been a bit of a disaster! J. Love tweeted, "Morning lovelys! Up early! I have a really bad cold and i am on my way to back to back workouts. Ugh! have a great day!" and a few hours later, she added, "Just cut my finger open and had to get stitches! Hurts so bad ;(" Oh no! Hopefully she feels better!

Channing Tatum greeted fans after appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, and not only did he pose with several lucky ladies, but he also took the time to chat with X17 photogs about ... filming sex scenes?! You'll have to take a peek at the video below!
Channing is also featured in this month's issue of Details, and the hunky actor chats about wife Jenna Dewan, his upcoming male stripper biopic Magic Mike and why his production office is in such a shady part of Los Angeles. He comes across as an incredibly personable and easygoing individual, and he's also quite humble. “I didn’t go to acting school, so my knowledge of story, filmmaking, and character comes from just being on set and doing it," Channing admits. "I know I’m not the best actor, but I hope my characters are getting better.”
