Entourage's Turtle and Brittny Gastineau- it's on!

Love is in the air for Entourage's Jerry Ferrara again. This time, Jamie-Lynn Sigler's ex-boyfriend has set his sights on a gorgeous Jamie look-alike, reality star Brittny Gastineau.

An eyewitness tells Life & Style the new couple went on a date to the Grove movie theaters in Los Angeles on Sunday, July 18, to catch a nighttime screening of the comedy Grown Ups.

"They were cute," the eyewitness, who spotted the twosome sharing popcorn and getting cozy in the dark, tells Life & Style.

It's not the first time Brittny has 'hooked up' with an Entourage cast member: At last week's 2010 ESPY Awards, Entourage star Emmanuelle Chriqui wore Brittny's Tres Glam jewelry on the red carpet.

The September Issues: Lebron James Covers GQ and Halle Berry Covers Vogue?

Rumor has it that Lebron James and Halle Berry will cover the September issues of GQ and Vogue, respectively:

This will be Lebron's second time on the cover of GQ (his first was in February, 2009). This will also be the second time Halle will grace Vogue's cover (the first was in December, 2002).

September issues are typically one of the biggest and most important issues of the year for a magazine. Pegged for the return to work and school after summer vacation, they compile the best in pre-fall fashion, features and lifestyle stories. The September issue is so important that Vogue even created a film, 'The September Issue,' which documented the hard work it takes behind the scenes to produce the mammoth book.

Vogue hasn't placed a black woman on a September issue since Anna Wintour raised eyebrows by putting Naomi Campbell on the September 1989 cover.

There's not doubt that Lebron and Halle's covers are groundbreaking and historical.

Will you be purchasing them?

High Heels That Don’t Hurt

Whoever said “beauty is pain” wasn’t kidding; high heels hurt. As cute as those new pair of pumps are, you can’t always justify wearing them if you know your feet will be hurting in an hour. As a doctor of physical therapy, Dr. Geoffrey Alan Gray knows the sacrifice some women will make to wear their shoes.

“Years of treating numerous aching feet and making thousands of orthotics led me to the conclusion that women are simply not meant to wear high-heeled shoes,” Gray said in a press release. “But women also shouldn’t have to choose between wearing the stylish high-heel stilettos or wedges and having their feet suffer, or going for a less-fashionable, but more comfortable look.”

Talus Heelbeds, black
Seeing a need in the market, Gray founded Santa Barbara-based Heeluxe, LLC, in 2009, designing fashionable inserts for high-heel shoes. Released last month, the Talus Heelbeds are a high-heel insert designed to shift body weight off the ball of the feet, relieving pressure that would cause pain in the heels, knees, and back.

“Talus Heelbeds work with natural heel movement to create support that will allow women everywhere to wear their heels all day and all night — without pain,” Gray stated.

The talus bone, the heelbed’s namesake, forms the lower part of the ankle joint and transmits the weight of the body to the foot. Pain is usually caused by forcing feet into a forward slanted position, which isn’t natural and shifts body weight to the ball and arch of the foot. According to Gray, this can cause damage to these areas of the foot. The heelbeds are designed to stop feet from sliding forward in the shoe, preventing pain, and angles the heel without the need for arch support.

The Talus Heelbeds are available at the Heeluxe Web site, and at several Northern California boutique stores. Currently offering the inserts in black and red, Gray hopes to eventually expand the line with additional patterns and colors.

Miami Fashion Week Swim 2011: Trina Turk - Runway Review

Mercedes-Benz Miami Fashion Week Swim returns for its sixth year to the sandy shores of South Beach, Florida.

Five days of fashion shows featuring the best designers in swim and resort wear bring a bevy of celebrities, top editors, buyers, and countless parties to the Magic City.

StyleList will bring you the hottest looks in sizzling swimwear. So stay tuned.

Kicking off Miami Fashion Week Swim 2011 was Los Angeles-based designer Trina Turk, who made her debut appearance this year with the eponymous collection, Trina Turk Swim & Spa 2011.

DESIGNER: Trina Turk

INSPIRATION: The glitz and glamour of Acapulco, Mexico, in the '60s and '70s

WHO WAS THERE: Celebs like Bow Wow and Angela Simmons, Playboy model Hope Dworaczyk, and sibling socialites Olga Rei and Valentine Uhovski

TOP LOOKS: Turk's signature bright and bold prints like the Tamarindo Beads (above left), Acapulco Gold, and Casablanca were on everything from plunging halter-top suits to bejeweled bikinis to men's briefs and flowy maxi dresses featuring gold hardware inspired by vintage baubles.

Liquid-gold jersey pants and asymmetrical tops reminiscent of disco days were worn as cover-ups and proved that metallics are a must for any season. Silk charmeuse frocks like "In the Mood" featured an explosion of citron, fuchsia, and turquoise hues.

ACCESSORIES: Gold found its way onto wedges, oversized cuffs, aviators, and all types of jewelry. The popular metal was spotted on pendants, bangles, and bib necklaces. Gigantic straw hats, some plain and others embellished with bows, were the headgear du jour as were fedoras adorned with ribbon and colorful silk head scarves. Totes and beach bags were also emblazoned with Turk's key prints.

WHAT WE THOUGHT: We loved the mismatching patterns of swimwear mixed with scarves and totes. The take on mesh was refreshing -- the see-through, oval-shaped white fabric found a way to be playful in lengthy caftans, pants, and one-shouldered tops. The splish-splash of color and tropical prints swirling on mini tunics and rompers made us wish for endless summers spent frolicking in the ocean and basking in the long hours of sunlight.

'GQ' Reveals A Healthy, Happy, Hot Lindsay Lohan


Lindsay Lohan may have a heap of troubles in the US, but in Germany, she's smokin' hot! In an awkwardly—yet rather appropriately—timed release, GQ Germany has revealed Lilo as their scantily-clad August cover model. She frolicks on the beach in a series of dreamy muted pictures.

In one shot, Lindsay poses seductively with a guitar—and only a guitar—then channels a lingerie clad hunter in another. She looks healthy and happy, as if time had been turned back to 2004. Is this a sign for a positive recovery?

Good luck Lindsay!

TOP TEN Mistakes Men Make When Picking Up Women

Pick Up Stylelife Tips By Neil Strauss
1. Don't wait to approach her until she's alone. Even if she likes you, her friends will soon drag her away.
2. Don't stare at her for more than three seconds before approaching. Hesitate, and you'll either creep her out or psyche yourself out.
3. Don't be afraid to approach her just because there are men in the group. Often, you'll discover that she's with family, friends, or co-workers.
4. Never open a conversation by apologizing. Phrases like “Excuse me… “ “Pardon me… “ and “I'm sorry, but… “ make you sound like a beggar.
5. Don't hit on her or give her a generic compliment. Instead, start a conversation with an entertaining anecdote or question, such as asking the group to suggest names for a three-legged cat or a store that sells 70's memorabilia. It may sound corny, but everyone loves to give their opinion.
6. Never, ever buy her a drink. You shouldn't have to pay for her attention.
7. Don't touch or grab her right away. If she touches you, say, with a smile, “Hey now, hands off the merchandise.”
8. Don't lean in or hover over her. Stand up straight and, if the music's too loud or she's seated, simply speak up.
9. Don't ask her what her name is, what she does for a living, or where she's from. She's bored of talking about the same things with every new guy she meets.
10. Don't focus all your attention on her when she's with other people. If you win her friends over, you'll win her.
