True Prankster


True Blood star Ryan Kwanten may be a sex symbol to fans, but his costars say there's much more to the hunky actor who plays the dim but endearing Jason Stackhouse.

"I think if Ryan could retire from acting and be a prankster, he would consider it," Jim Parrack, who plays Hoyt Fortenberry on the HBO hit, tells PEOPLE.

So what was one of Kwanten's more memorable pranks? "He took our cameraman's car and filled it with ladybugs," says Parrack. "He goes all out."

21 Days and Counting!

Not Another One


Looks like Anne Hathoway has been going to the same hair stylist as Emma Watson...whoever let her do this should be fired. Once again, my fingers are crossed its a wig for a movie role.

Heads Up


Opposing teams had better mind the hair pulling–Head & Shoulders has taken out a $1 million Lloyds of London policy protecting their spokesperson, Pittsburgh Steelers’ Troy Polamalu’s famous ringlets. “It’s like J.Lo’s insured butt!” he jokes, comparing the famous urban legend surrounding the singer’s derriere to learning about his own very real insurance policy. The beauty brand has reason to keep Troy’s 35″ tresses under lock and key: Women and men across America are desperate for the secret to those Samoan curls, with some of his manliest teammates even trying to score the secret. “One guy in particular… is stealing all of my Head & Shoulder products,” he laughs. Taking 45 minutes pregame to care for his hair has become a ritual for the all-pro safety, who explains, “It’s correlated to what a warrior in the past would do to prepare for war. You have the Mongolians, the Japanese Samurai, the Spartans–all of these warriors with long hair…and in that way you can almost get into the mind-way, preparing for some type of battle when you are doing your hair.” After eight years without so much as a trim, would Troy ever consider cutting his signature locks? “With this big hair insurance–I don’t think so!” he says.

Age is Just Number


I can't believe Anna Paquin is only 28, that shocks me. For some reason I thought she was at least in her early 30's.

I Love Your Beard.


Robert Pattinson was photographed at Jimmy Fallon's post Emmy party with a beard...I love it.

Mugging for the Camera


Paris Hilton was arrested Friday night in Las Vegas for possession of a controlled substance after cocaine was found in her purse, a police spokesman says.

Hilton, 29, was arrested shortly before midnight on Las Vegas Boulevard after police pulled over a vehicle that Hilton was in. The hotel heiress was not driving.

Public Information officer Marcus Martin said the vehicle was stopped after officers believed marijuana smoke was coming out of the car in front of the Wynn Hotel, where Hilton’s boyfriend, Cy Waits, operates a nightclub. After a search of Hilton, cocaine was found in her purse, Martin said.

Hilton was booked into the Clark County Detention Center early Saturday morning but later released. The male driver of the car was arrested on DUI drug charges.

This was the third drug-related incident involving Hilton this summer. In July, Hilton was held by police on the French island of Corsica and caught with less than a gram of marijuana in her purse but released without being charged. Earlier in July, she was questioned by South African police at the World Cup after she was allegedly caught smoking marijuana. Her rep called it a "complete misunderstanding," and Hilton wasn't charged.

Cruising...


Look who else is cruising around town on a retro looking bike...this was just snapped and posted on People.com.

I know your concerned about my safety and will remind me that Georgia has a helmet law, which is why I went ahead and picked this one out:

Fab Find Friday

I seem to stumble across products I become obsessed with pretty often and it dawned on me today that I should start sharing all them with you.

This week I've chosen Fresh's Sugar Lip Balm. Here's what they have to say about it:

It's formulated with sugar, a natural humectant that prevents moisture loss, and a superior blend of nourishing oils and protective waxes to soften and smooth dry lips. Antioxidant-rich vitamins also work to defend against wrinkle-causing free radicals. It also provides essential year-round protection from damaging UV rays with SPF 15.


Here's the inspiration story for Sugar Plum:
On a recent summer vacation, we spent time on a farm in France where there was a magnificent plum orchard that stretched to the horizon—plum trees as far as the eye could see. At first light, the sun would stream through the orchard, warming the irresistible, juicy plums. Ripe for the picking, I tasted one and was surprised at how the deep, dark skin of the plum gave way to a translucent burgundy pulp. Inspired by this unveiling, I created Sugar Plum Lip Treatment SPF 15, a dark bullet that delivers a mysteriously sheer and utterly sensuous tint.


...and here's a little on the Rose shade: With one slick, this stick provides immediate hydration and smoothness—instantly soothing cracked or chapped lips and diminishing the appearance of fine lines. It provides SPF 15 UVA/UVB protection to shield your lips from the damaging effects of the sun and delivers a hint of tint for a natural, universally-flattering look. It's packed in a travel-friendly, screw-top tube.

Nicole's New Do


I love Nicole Richie. Sometimes when people ask who would play me in a movie I want to say her because I love her personality (always says what's on her mind even if its slightly inappropriate) and her style.

I've taken her picture into the salon to show them what I want to look like when I leave...and I think this new wavy bob might go into my look book too.

Weekend Plans

What will I be doing this weekend? Funny you should ask.

I'll wake up next to this...


...and we'll stay in bed all day except for when we need to get a bit of fresh air and have a drink...


...and then we'll go to a low country boil with all our friends...which includes Mumford and Sons, Laura Marling, and the rest of our British hipster crew.


Sounds like fun doesn't it?!

Its Growing On Me.


Still don;t love the pixie cut, but its going on me. I still wish it would just magically grow back out one day via some new extensions.

Is Her Eggo Preggo?


Is it just me or does Hallie look like she has another baby bump?

Guess Who


Can you tell who this is (in the red dress)?

A big shout out to ACE...close, but no cigar. That was Katy Perry's glamour shot!

And good job to AKing for correctly identifying Sean Penn despite his crazy hair/weave.

Beer Stache

If you guys are not already a part of ScoutMob, please join. I can not tell you how much joy it has brought to my life in the last week. Its where I learned about Sun In My Belly...an Atlanta restaurant that encourages BYOB. Yes you read that right a restaurant that is BYOB! I can wait for a champagne brunch with plenty of Cirstalino.

Not only does ScoutMob offer great deals (similar to Groupon) but their daily emails are fab. Today's email featured this little gem...you can guess what I'll be giving as hostess gifts for the next couple months!


They are called beer staches...they come in different colors so that they can work the way wine tags do to know who's drink is who's and they clip/slip right on to bottles. Sorry for the pic of the random girls...its really all their website had to offer.

The Sexiest Beast


Who was EW's pick for sexiest beast? Not Edward Cullen who came in second but Damon from Vampire Diaries who is also pretty sexy.

Anthropologie Item of the Week

1. Before 'That's What Kenworthy Said' ever existed I used to include a section in my weekly news letter called 'The Anthropologie Item of the Week.' Its come to my attention that I've been neglecting this very important subject.

2.Lets be honest, I can harldy ever limit my self to just 1 item a week. Here are my picks for this week:


Imagine the possibilities...


There have been several similar versions of this dress in recent seasons, but I love the colors in this one and the slightly fuller skirt.


This jacket would be perfect to wear to an App State game this fall.


Its 100 degrees outside and all I can think about are boots, jackets, and jeans.

Can't You See It?


Marilyn Monroe's California home is for sale...couldn't you see me laying by the pool here?


...and reading a book here?


...and working from home, writing 'That's What Kenworthy Said' here?

The Bonus Jonas


Came across this pic in my morning news round up and had to share it with you guys...

Did you guys know there was a 4th Jonas brother? 'Do you even know who the other 3 JoBros are?' might be a better question for some of you who are more out of touch with your teenage side than I am.

Frankie is known as "the Bonus Jonas" (makes me laugh every time I say it, which happens more often than you would think).

I use the term Bonus Jonas to describe someone who hangs out with a group of people but stays on the outskirts or just isn't quite as fab of the rest of them...sad but true.

It's Not Me, It's You.


Miley and Liam are no longer...I bet he broke her heart, her achy breaky heart.

My New Bike...Seriously.



Don't ask me why I have the sudden urge to get a bike, but I do. I did a little research today and I really think this bike/basket combo is the one for me (I'll admit the $300 custom bike from Urban may have been a little much).

For the bargain price of $115 this is for sure going on my birthday wishlist (yes I know its still August and my birthday isn't until March).

My Little Love Nest...

My little love nest is pretty empty right now...literally and metaphorically. There has been no exciting celebrity news to post about so I've been keeping myself busy looking at design blogs (an working too). I started off my week looking at one or two, and am not totally obsessed. I get really annoyed if a blogger hasn't posted anything new since the last time I check and resort to looking through old posts instead.

Here are a few I'm obsessed with...some I just bookmarked today so they may turn out to be duds...check them out if you need to be inspired...or are just bored.

If I see anything extra special you should know about I'll re-post.

And Another Thing I Want...


My mom says I say that all the time...I think she's right.

Did you know you could custom design bikes at Urban Outfitters? This is what mine would look like, only I'd also have a basket on front.

3 New Lines to Look Forward to From Monique Lhuillier


Monique Lhuillier announced she will design three new lines: ML Monique Lhuillier, a more affordably-priced ready-to-wear collection, and two bridesmaid collections, Monique Lhuillier Bridesmaids and the less expensive ML Monique Lhuillier Bridesmaids. With 14 years of design experience—mostly bridal—under her belt, Lhuillier told WWD, “After all these years of selling wedding dresses, people wanted me to do the entire wedding party.” Monique Lhuillier Bridesmaids will debut in bridal salons this January and the ML bridesmaids line will launch exclusively in Nordstrom’s and nordstrom.com next month.

Who is This?


I love this game (obviously).

Hint: She's still alive.

I'd Hurt Myself to Wear these Band Aids


I fall down a lot. Which is why I really do need these Cynthia Rowley band aids for only $10 (for a box of 20)...plus one dollar of every purchase goes to charity, so its for a good cause to, right?

Holla!!!

A big shout out to the following readers:

Katrina: Not only did she guess clostest to Puckasarus' real age which is 28, she also correctly identifited the mystery man Paul Rudd.

Derek: E for effort.

ACE: Excelent guess, you made me laugh out loud!

Here's another mystery man for you guys to identify. Who is it?

Couple Alert


Rummors have been flying that these two are dating.

The Crazy Train Makes a Stop in Costa Rica

Just when you thought it was over, Speidi returns. Although Spencer Pratt signed divorce documents in his split from Heidi Montag less than two weeks ago, the duo continue to stir up drama.

Pratt says he's shopping a sex tape of Montag with another woman and also writing a relationship tell-all. Plus, the two have been sparring on Twitter.

But Sunday, they were spotted by TMZ.com together in Costa Rica where they are still spending time. So what gives?

"I had to bring the puppies down and help them move in," Pratt tells PEOPLE. "[Heidi] thought I was going to leave, but I'm not. I didn't want to get divorced … I have nothing in Malibu, I'm homeless, I'm nothing without her."

Montag admits she agreed to have Pratt join her in Costa Rica. "Everything was calm and going smoothly with the divorce," she says. "We were really getting along and it was amazing he was being so thoughtful to help me move. Then things turned."

By things turning, Montag is referring to the supposed deal Pratt is working on with Vivid Entertainment to sell a sex tape. "There is no sex tape that exists and there never was," she says. "Spencer is trying to drum up press. This is exactly why I wanted to divorce him in the first place."

But Pratt insists such a tape does exist. "I told Heidi … if you don't want to do the new reality show with me, then I'll have to release old footage," he says. "I can get $5 million from a sex tape, but I really don't want to do that. It's not the way I want things to be. Heidi is furious with me but I need to look out for myself."

As for the future, "I'm going to leave the hotel and get a house because Spencer won’t leave me alone and won't go back to Malibu right now," Montag says. "It's just too hard. I still love him, but I can't stand what he's doing."

This Makes Me Sick.


The Situation has no problems when it comes to the compensation.

One of the breakout stars of MTV’s smash hit Jersey Shore, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is busily, and effectively, turning his drama into dollar signs. Between his MTV salary, endorsement deals, his own branded products and other media opportunities, Sorrentino, 29, could earn as much as $5 million by the end of this year, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The abs-flaunting Sorrentino is raking in close to $60,000 per episode in salary, and between $15,000 and $50,000 per event for appearances. He also has endorsement deals with Vitaminwater, Reebok and an unnamed vodka brand; will front a clothing line with Dilligaf and a line of chewable supplements with GNC; has released his own fitness video; and has partnered with Gotham Books to write his autobiography.

Oh, and he also has a “GTL” app and a rap song on iTunes, and has been in talks regarding several big-screen projects.

It’s all part of a carefully orchestrated plan. “We are really excited about all the opportunities coming Mike’s way,” says his manager, Mike Petolino of Gotham Entertainment. “He has been able to secure many endorsement deals, business opportunities and additional television offers based on the success of the show. Our goal has always been to try to build a brand if the situation presented itself.”

Things I'm Obsessed With (Besides Robert Pattinson)



I've been in a nesting mood recently and I'm loving upholstered headboards



...and benches at the foot of the bed.



I need a new watch and really want one that's big and menswear...I can't decide which of these I like more...FYI, Michael Kors makes fab watches!


When AT&T did the commercial on Toms I looked into whether or not Black from Toms was available to date. He's not, but I'd settle for these if I were cool enough to rock Toms.

From True Blood to True Love


"Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin were married on Saturday evening in Malibu surrounded by their family and friends," the couple's reps tell PEOPLE.

Paquin – wearing a white halterneck gown and Neil Lane jewelry with her hair in an updo – and Moyer, clad in a dark suit, exchanged vows at sunset under a white tent at a beachside villa.

"It was a beautiful evening to get married and the sunset was gorgeous. Anna and Stephen seemed very excited to celebrate their wedding day," a source tells PEOPLE.

Celebrity guests included True Blood creator Alan Ball, costars Ryan Kwanten, Sam Trammell, Rutina Wesley and Carrie Preston as well as actor Elijah Wood.

The good news comes after a year-long engagement for the stars of the hit HBO series. Moyer, 40, proposed with a vintage-style ring on the beach last August.

"It’s great to have the freedom to enjoy your work and not feel like you're leaving your other life behind," Paquin, 28, says of the couple's relationship. "It’s a pretty sweet setup."

How Do You Decide Who to Marry?

I've seen a million of these, but my mom sent me this today and I thought it was cute enough to share...enjoy...and if I tell you that you look like a dump truck in the near future you'll know its a sincere compliment.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (written by kids)

You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10

No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
-- Kristen, age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
-- Camille, age 10

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids.
-- Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
-- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)

On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-- Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they're rich.
-- Pam, age 7

The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
- - Curt, age 7

The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
-- Howard, age 8

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
-- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-- Kelvin, age 8

And the #1 Favorite is........
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a dump truck.
-- Ricky, age 10

OMFG! Gossip Girl Season 4 Trailer

The Romantics



Don't know when it comes out, but I'm adding it to the list for Wednesday night movie night.

SHB, This Ones for You.


I'm blogging up a storm today...I just couldn't wait to share this with you.

I always look forward to Target's designer collaborations, and I am especially excited about the line Gaby Basora (of Tucker, a small label beloved for its blousy printed tops) has created for the retailer--especially now that a few images of the clothes have been revealed.


I already have my eye on the red floral print button-down dress which is a steal for $39.99. It's a perfect transition piece: cute now with open-toe sandals and equally adorable later with tights and booties.

For slightly more adventurous types, Basora's designed a fleece jumpsuit for $44.99, which looks super-comfortable and even has roomy pockets. All the pieces will debut in stores and online at Target.com September 12.

I LOVE Tucker and Target. The pic on top is a romper from Tucker's regular collection, not the Target line. You can find more fab Tucker clothes at Piperlime.com (Piperlime also has 'Rachel Zoe Picks'...just another reason I die for Piperlime).
