Celebrity skin care secrets revealed

Celebrities don’t just wake up looking that good, do they? With a few rare exceptions , no, they don’t. In fact, they have a team of make-up pros dedicated to giving them the flawless skin we lust after. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get fabulous skin, too. We asked top make-up and skin care experts to share their favorite celebrity skin care secrets.

Celeb skin

1Get your tan on

Which celebrity has the best skin?

Poll: Which celebrity has the best skin?

According to celebrity make-up artist Raquel Castaneda, hot celebrity skin begins with a dose of healthy color. Castaneda, whose celebrity client list includes Paris Hilton, Heather Locklear, P. Diddy and more, the spray tan is a celebrity's best friend. "But, if holding your nose in the spray booth gets a little stuffy, try one of Victoria Secret's self-tanners or NARS' bronzing powder in Laguna. I wore it all over my body and it lasted 24 hours!" she said.

Speaking of getting a nice tan, you rarely see celebrities with sunburns or tan lines, right? That's because they're serious about sun care. Castaneda recommends never leaving the house without SPF. Her favorite products include Chanel's UV Essentiel SPF 50, or one of Neutrogena's all-over SPF sprays.

2Think thin

After flipping through the latest gossip magazines, it's hard to imagine that celebrities even know what cellulite is. Don't let yourself be fooled by their fit and firm appearance, though. One trick to their super tight skin? Castaneda suggests trying Rodial's Tummy Tuck Sticks. "It's a dietary supplement to help speed up digestion for a skinnier waistline," she said.

3Drink up

One of the most important factors in the battle for flawless celebrity skin is hydration. That includes hydrating your body by drinking plenty of water, in addition to hydrating your skin with moisturizer. According to Castaneda, hydration is the key to Heather Locklear's amazing skin. "I use Embrioles All-in-One Moisturizer on her, and it was stunning! I applied it before airbrushing foundation," she said.

4Revive your face

Does your face feel dull and tired? Wake it up with this simple and free celebrity skin care secret from Hollywood make-up artist and health and fitness pro, Loa Blasucci. Her clients have included Courteney Cox, Matthew McConaughey and Raquel Welch, amongst others.

Blasucci says her signature skin care technique brightens the face by involving "skin patting." According to Blasucci, the surface and texture of a celebrity's face is the most cared-for part of her body. "The surface is the canvas or backdrop for the face. All other features -- eyes, lips, cheek bones, nose -- springboard from the skin's surface. If the skin's not smooth and clear, all other features will pale," she said.

As Blasucci discovered, if one of her celebrity clients was tired, overworked or not sleeping well, her skin appeared dull, so in order to brighten the face, Blasucci recommends ensuring ample blood circulation by using the soft pads of your fingertips and gently, but firmly, patting the face.

Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Since the eyes are prone to fluid retention , begin at the top of the cheek bones and pat with your fingers quickly towards the nose, then back to the cheek bones in an upward motion, coming around to the temples and upward across the brows.

Step 2: Next, apply a tiny amount of light daytime moisturizer using upward, smoothing strokes, moving up the neck to the jawline.

Step 3: Purse your lips as you tap at the outside corners of the mouth and out to the cheeks.

"A few moments of patting will bring a flushed pink color to the skin. This is oxygen coming to the rescue, and voila', the face is brighter and appears tighter," Blasucci said.

5The instant facelift

Who doesn't want an instant, pain-free facelift? Skin care expert Vera Kantor, proprietor of Verabella Skin Therapy Spa and Verabella Bevery Hills skin care products, says she has an at-home remedy to help you achieve Kristen's Bell's flawless skin. In addition to Bell, Kantor also treats celebrity beauties like Vanessa Hudgens, Kerry Washington, Lindsay Lohan and Diane Lane.

"When my clients need an instant facelift, but can't come to the spa for my signature Perfect Lift Treatment, I suggest that they make this amazing and effective double mask, using ingredients that they can usually find in their kitchens," she said

Double mask ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 1/8 tsp. honey
  • A few drops of olive oil
  • 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice

Step 1: Mix the egg yolk with honey and a drop of olive oil. Apply to a clean face. Relax and think about your next vacation while it dries and tightens the skin. Once it dries, wait an additional five minutes before removing. This mask nourishes, exfoliates & moisturizes the skin.

Step 2: Wash off thoroughly.

Step 3: Mix the egg white with a few drops of lemon. Apply to face, and relax again. Once the mask is completely dry, wash off and apply your favorite serum and moisturizer. This second mask will tighten and brighten the skin.

What did Kristen Bell get for her birthday that made her totally flip her lid? See what the House of Lies actress told Ellen DeGeneres.

Kristen Bell

It's official: Kristen Bell is adorable . The actress totally freaked out while recounting the story of her 31st birthday to Ellen DeGeneres and the very special gift given to her by her fiancé Dax Shepard.

Turns out Bell is a huge animal lover with an extra-soft spot for sloths, and Shepard took advantage of that to give her a birthday she would never forget. Totally "aw"-inducing, right? What's even cuter is how excited Bell still gets recounting the story.

"He said 'I'm going to get you a present that no one else will ever get in their lifetime.' And I was confused and thought, 'Okay,'" the House of Lies actress explained during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

"So the day of my birthday, we're sitting in the living room and I hear a knock at the door. [Dax Shepard] says, 'Your present is here. Why don't you go grab the dogs and go in the back room?'"

"I had no context for knowing what it was, but I grabbed the dogs and walk into the back room of the house and I was immediately overcome and I thought, 'There's a sloth near. There's a sloth here. It's close, it's going to happen,'" she said.

"And I didn't know how to process that because my entire life had been waiting for this moment where I would get to interact -- I'm serious -- with a sloth!"

"So I am sitting on my bed, knowing that a sloth is here, I start to have a full-fledged panic attack," Bell revealed. "I don't know how to compete with all this emotion so I just sort of curl up in a ball on the bed and I'm crying so hard and Dax knocks on the door and he has a video camera and he's like 'Surprise! I want you to come out to the -- Are you alright?!?!?' And sees me basically fetal on the bed."

Bell then shared a home video taken of that very moment -- and she wasn't exaggerating. Girl totally flipped her lid!

"I needed to be sedated, clearly," she said.

Just to make sure Bell wasn't faking, Ellen tricked her into thinking she had a sloth for her in the studio -- and Bell started to cry right then and there. Totes adorbes!

Movie review: Big Miracle

Inspired by a true story from 1988, Big Miracle is an amazing feat of human ingenuity and teamwork.

Big-Miracle-Movie-with-Review-Graphic

When three California gray whales become stuck in the ice in Barrow, Alaska, the local Inupiat people plan to harvest the whales for food. But stringy-haired Greenpeace organizer Rachel Kramer, played by a passionate Drew Barrymore, has other plans. A tree hugger who will risk her life to save the tiniest living creature, Rachel is on a mission to free these 35-ton, warm-blooded creatures from what is certain to become their icy grave. At perpetual odds with oil driller J. W. McGray, played by Ted Danson, she must swallow her pride and ask for his help when she discovers he is the owner of an icebreaking hoverbarge. He agrees to help, not because he cares about the whales, but because it will help improve his image with the local people. Rachel hates the idea that this guy will get credit for saving the whales, but she has no other choice.

Meanwhile, a young journalist named Adam Carlson, played by the ever-charming John Krasinski, scoops the story for the local news, which is soon broadcast across the nation. News reporters from around the world flock to the frigid tundra of Barrow, where the temperatures go as low as negative 50 degrees -- yikes! When McGray's hoverbarge fails to reach the whales, President Reagan throws in his support. In Reagan's defiant cold war style, he asks the Soviets to lend their powerful icebreaker to the cause. And they agree.

Big Miracle isn't just about the plight of three trapped whales, it is also about opposing forces coming together for a common good. Though many of the parties involved have ulterior motives, the film doesn't lose sight of how these disparate characters strategically join forces to rescue three intelligent, majestic mammals. Barrymore is perfect as the crunchy-granola Rachel, full of passion and empathy. In a beautiful act of courage and curiosity, she dons a wetsuit and dives into the icy water to swim with the whales. This scene is dream-like and otherworldly; really CGI at its best. While a story of life and death, the movie manages to keep a sense of humor about it, particularly when a helicopter pilot's eye freezes shut and John Krasinski must lick it to avoid crashing. And the filmmakers manage to add a jaunty cameo of Alaska's own Sarah Palin -- you betcha!

Bottom line: Big Miracle is an inspiring film the whole family will enjoy and no doubt chat about for days to come.

Kristen Bell plays an ambitious journalist in Big Miracle, facing pressures very similar to her lifestyle as an actress. Despite the demands of being big time, Bell told SheKnows she manages to stay grounded.
Kristen Bell Big Miracle interview

While promoting Big Miracle, Kristen Bell let SheKnows in on her makeup philosophy and vegan lifestyle.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed, size two Kristen Bell strikes you as the model image of the ideal Hollywood actress.

But behind the hair and makeup, the Big Miracle star is really a low maintenance gal from Detroit struggling to stay grounded in the crazy Entertainment business.

"When I'm not in front of the camera, I'm at home and I usually don't wear any makeup," Bell told SheKnows recently. "There are plenty of days of the year that I don't even shower. I think that as long as you have that balance, and I feel that I'm a worthy human being, then I don't feel too much pressure from this business."

Drew Barrymore dishes on her no makeup look >>

Her character in the film, reporter Jill Gerard, laments the stress of trying to maintain that "Barbie doll" look, that for Bell just seems to be a by-product of her healthy lifestyle.

"I actually just went vegan, which is interesting and wonderful," Bell told us. "I've been a vegetarian for over 20 years. To be more health conscious, I decided to give it a try."

Kristen Bell as Jill Gerard in Big Miracle. It's a good thing this star stays grounded in the big time biz.

Lucky for her, Bell's fiancé actor Dax Shepard is taking the anti-animal product plunge with her, making the journey much easier.

"He is vegan as well," said Bell. "It was actually his instigation."

John Krasinski gushes about wife Emily Blunt >>

Bell said when they're not working, the couple enjoys hanging out at home perfecting their vegan recipes.

"My ideal date night… is just staying home, watching the boob tube, making dinner, closing the windows and the doors," Bell told us.

And although they've been engaged for over a year now, this in-sync couple is not planning on tying the knot anytime soon.

"We're not really in any rush," said Bell.

Kristen Bell likes big butts & she cannot lie

Some people love a nice set of lips, others the gentle turn of a shoulder. Some love legs, some chests. As for Kristen Bell? She is most definitely a butt girl.

Kristen Bell

Kristen Bell has other interests besides baby sloths. In fact, one of her other very favorite things in life is a nice cushy tushie. While a good set of buns might not make her break down in tears like an adorable sloth does, she still gets awfully excited over them -- both hers and those of one particular co-star.

The House of Lies star told Women's Health she is all about the backside.

"[Butts are] my favorite things on the planet," she told the mag. "I want two round cupcakes, always. I kicked my buns and abs sets into high gear when I knew I'd have to be in my bra and underwear on House of Lies. But I don't show my crack! All the Mr. Skins of the world are like, "Ooh, Kristen gets naked!' I'm like, 'Dream on!'"

Kristen Bell freaks out over baby sloth >>

It's not just her own butt she's interested in, though. Don't think for a second she's not checking out the buns on her co-star Don Cheadle. "If you had those beautiful chocolate bun-cakes, you'd show 'em too, let's be honest," she said.

One not-so-cute thing about her butt? Bell, a dedicated vegan, said the healthy lifestyle comes with a very smelly trade-off.

"[It's] fart powder. [It] makes you gassy," she confessed of vegan food.

Whatever gives you a great butt!

Kristen Bell makes sloth-friendly diet switch

Actress Kristen Bell recently revealed that she officially made the transition from vegetarian to vegan. What inspired her change of heart? Something that has inspired many others to change as well.

Kristen Bell goes vegan

Three-toed sloths around the world are cheering in glee at the exciting news: Their pal, Kristen Bell, has decided to swear off all animals for good and go vegan. The actress recently revealed to Women's Health magazine that she, along with fiancé Dax Shepard, went vegan in January after watching the documentary Forks Over Knives.

"It's more about the health benefits than the ethics. But it’s compounded by the fact that I love animals and feel better not eating them," she said of the documentary, now available on Netflix. The film has reportedly inspired other celebs like Jason Mraz and Russell Brand to kick the animal product diet for good.

Go vegan with help from SheKnows >>

The food-loving actress and chef said she loves to cook food that comes out of her own garden. "Cooking is my love language, where there’s the most amount of giving selflessly," she said. Currently, she's growing "cilantro, sage, baby greens. Carrots, broccoli, kale, potatoes, cauliflower… Romaine, butter lettuce, thyme… Ooh, the spinach is coming up real nice."

Kristen Bell likes big butts & she cannot lie >>

The actress recently told Self magazine that, like many celebs, her love of animals caused her to eschew meat products 15 years ago. Think she's depriving herself? Hardly — her Vitamix helps her whip up her veggies into different options.

"I’m a fan of multicourse dinners," she told Self. "Last night, I made Brussels sprouts baked with balsamic vinegar, grapes and walnuts; butternut squash ravioli; and a 'garbage disposal' salad, which is everything in the veggie and fruit drawers: Lentils, spinach, romaine, blueberries, cucumbers, raspberries, almonds, carrots and avocado. Literally anything. You don’t even need a dressing because there are so many tastes.”

There is one downside to a vegan lifestyle, Bell says. It "makes you gassy," she joked.

In fact, she and Shepard have a nickname for vegan food: "Fart powder." Yum.

Even though Hollywood can make for rocky relationship territory, there's something to be said for those who brave love in the city of angels. Here's how these seven couples like to spend their time with their other halves.

1

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard

When they can manage, Kristen and Dax just like to hibernate. She told SheKnows that she prefers a night in watching the boob tube. "My ideal date night is just staying home, watching the boob tube, making dinner and closing the windows and doors!"

This cute couple stresses the success that can come from simply making it a priority to spend time together. "For me, it feels like the most fun is just the time you spend, not actually what you're doing," John told SheKnows. Their love story is one guided by the ol' finding-love-when-you-least-expect-it theory. "I knew right away," he said about his British beauty.

Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett

Now here's a couple that likes to spice things up! "You have to be creative," Kendra told SheKnows during our at-home interview. Even if date night is a simple night at the bowling alley or a couple glasses of wine, they believe that foreplay starts at the bowling alley. Before anyone cries sex scandal, Kendra elaborates, "Flirting with each other while bowling, grabbing each other's butt, being fun and playful."

4

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan

Doesn't every girl want to know what a date night with Channing Tatum is like? Channing told SheKnows that he and Jenna cut off all ties and have staycations together. "Chill out, turn off phones, no internet, no nothing. [We] sit and watch some good movies and see how many bottles of wine we can get through and see what we can talk about." Lucky Jenna! We'd take a lights out sesh with Channing any day!

Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum

After going on some of the most, for the lack of better terminology, kick-ass dates over international waters on The Bachelorette, Ashley and J.P. faced the task of making it work in "normal" life. Luckily, the couple likes to be a pair of homebodies. "We just stay home, make dinner, cuddle on the couch and watch movies. We're looking for normalcy," Ashley told SheKnows.

6

Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman

Drew Barrymore is no stranger to making relationships work in the public eye. While she's had her ups and downs, she has learned a thing or two along the way, including saying goodbye to the "bad boy thing." With her fiance Will Kopelman, she likes a date night that's a little more old fashioned. "I love going to an old revival movie," she told SheKnows.

7

Sherri Shepherd and Lamar Sally

This foxy lady has a logical view when it comes to love: compromise! When we asked about her latest Valentine's Day date night, she said, "If you ask my husband, some hot chocolate and some wax. [But] I'm very romantic. If we could go somewhere and have an amazing dinner and then do the wax and the hot chocolate... do a little compromise there."

Real-life couple Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell team up for a crime-comedy about a getaway driver who must take his fiance to Los Angeles without being seen by those he doesn’t want to see him. Sounds tough, right? That’s half the fun!

BCoop with dreadlocks…?

He must be undercover. They wouldn’t do that to our beloved Bradley, now would they?

Before we get to that, let’s get down to what this new crime-comedy Hit and Run is all about. Dax Shepard plays Charlie Bronson, a former getaway driver who is now in the witness protection program. When his fiance, played by Kristen Bell -- who is also his fiance in real life -- says she must get to Los Angeles for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he risks everything to take her there.

But you know what that means, don’t you? Things just go horribly wrong. I mean, come on, Dax! Can’t you just drive our gal Kristen there without any complications?

Not when there's a dreadlocked Bradley Cooper on the scene in his red jogging pants. Gun in hand, he seems to be chasing the happy couple, but the twists of Hit and Run's plot remains a mystery, so as of now it's unclear who is friend or foe. Don’t you just want to get up in there and scratch Mr. Cooper’s head? I’ll do it for you, BCoop. No worries.

2012 CMT Awards live red carpet

To say Kristen Bell is excited to host the 2012 CMT Music Awards with Toby Keith is an understatement. The adorable actress has the same sort of enthusiasm about her hosting gig as she did about her birthday sloth -- without the tears, of course.

"They just invited me and I squealed, 'Yeah!' and obviously said yes. I had never been to Nashville before, so I was very excited," Bell told reporters last week. "I'm a country music fan."

Her co-host was more low-key about his hosting gig. The "Red Solo Cup" can't risk his party bro rep by getting excited, after all.

"I hosted it several years ago with Pam Anderson and I guess I was back on the cycle again. So I'm back here again. It's always an honor," Keith said to reporters. He softened a little bit when talking to Country Weekly, adding that he's a fan of the actress.

Kristen Bell and Toby Keith hosting 2012 CMT Music Awards

“I was a big Deadwood fan,” he told the magazine of Bell's former HBO show. “My buddy W. Earl Brown played a big role and Kristen was in that with him.”

Well, we're excited: Where else can we see all of our fave country stars in one place? To be honest, we're just excited to see what sort of outfits singers such as Carrie Underwood, Sara Evans, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, Kellie Pickler and LeAnn Rimes wear to the show. Why? Well, we love to get judgy over outfits. It's a girl thing.

Luckily, we won't have to wait until the awards show starts at 8 p.m. EST to see the outfits. SheKnows will have the 2012 CMT Music Awards red carpet live right here, starting at 6:30 p.m. EST.

We don't yet know what Bell will wear, but she'll be comfortable on stage, thanks to her co-host.

I hear he is very tall,” she added to Country Weekly, “which will probably make me feel really comfortable because Dax Shepard is tall, too.”

Meet us back here at 6:30 p.m. EST to see the live CMT Music Awards red carpet, OK? OK!

The 2012 CMT Music Awards -- hosted by Kristen Bell and Toby Keith -- are over. So, who won? Check out all the winners here!

Kristen Bell at the 2012 CMT Music Awards

The 2012 CMT Music Awards were — thankfully — not a complete cheese fest, thanks mostly to Kristen Bell. The actress worked the show — with co-host Toby Keith — in her typical adorable style. Plus, the show had President Obama and Mitt Romney debating who makes the better host — Bell or Keith.

"This is one of the toughest decisions I've had to make since I've been in office," President Obama said of choosing between Bell and Keith in a video clip. "I want them both."

Romney then tried his hand at a little bit of comedy.

"I thought the presidential election was rough, but that is nothing compared with the politics at the CMT Awards," Romney joked. "I think I have the solution though. I propose Toby and Kristen co-host the show. See, I just put two people back to work."

Oh, the jokes were flowing. Still, Bell and Keith did a great job, even if the typical suspects won the awards

Video of the Year: "Good Girl" — Carrie Underwood

Country's golden girl Carrie Underwood was the big winner of the night, winning for both Video of the Year and Collaborative Video of the Year for "Remind Me" with Brad Paisley.

"Thank you guys so much, everybody that's been voting for any one of us tonight, I know how great of company I am in as far as the other nominees, and I just want to thank you guys for watching the videos and supporting all of us," Underwood said while accepting her Video of the Year Award. Her husband, NHL player Mike Fisher, also shared a tender moment with Paisley when they won.

"Did you see my husband hug him first?" Underwood asked the audience of her husband and Paisley's bro-hug.

Paisley tried to play down the bromance rumors. "To my wife at home, there's nothing going on between me and Mike," he joked.

"Not yet," Underwood shot back.

Still, Paisley had nothing but good things to say about his video partner.

"I'd like to thank this beautiful woman for being in the video, otherwise it's just a dork walking through the desert," he joked.

CMT Performance of the Year winner Jason Aldean thanked the network while accepting his award for "Tattoos on This Town."

"I got to say a big thank you to CMT for still playing videos," Aldean said. "That's such an important part of what we do and how to get our face out and still connect with our fans."

Other big winners at the show included: 

  • Male Video of the Year: "I Don't Want This Night to End" — Luke Bryan
  • Female Video of the Year: "Over You" — Miranda Lambert
  • Group Video of the Year: "We Owned the Night" — Lady Antebellum
  • Duo Video of the Year: "I Got You" — Thompson Square

What did you think of the 2012 CMT Music Awards?

Emmy-nominee Sofia Vergara and other celeb Cancers

Crabs. They are crustaceans with stalked eyes and five pairs of legs, the front pair being giant pinchers! They thrive in the tidal zones of our oceans, where the environment around them is always changing in direct correlation with the moon. Though they taste great with butter and a little cocktail sauce, what does it mean when a celebrity is born into the astrological House of Cancer? Let’s look at a few famous Cancers to see if they live up to the crabby hype.

Hope Springs

Meryl Streep was born a Cancer on June 22, 1949. Home and family are supremely important to the crab, so it makes sense that Meryl’s new film Hope Springs, is about a middle-aged woman who is desperate to re-ignite romance with her husband of several decades, played by Tommy Lee Jones. Given that Cancers are notorious nurturers, Meryl is a natural casting choice to play a woman who wants to find happiness and sexual fulfillment within her marriage.

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgewick

With a birthday of July 8th, 1958, king crab Kevin Bacon holds his home life more important than his career, as is common for Cancers. One of the few Hollywood film stars who’s been able to stay married for 24 years, Kevin smartly chose actress Kyra Sedgwick, a Leo. Perhaps it’s Leo’s desire to be proud of her mate as well as her direct, no-nonsense method of addressing problems that have helped this marriage go the distance.

Tom Cruise at ROA premier

Born on the third of July, 1962, moon-child Tom Cruise has had a tough go of it lately. As the moon changes from night to night, it’s possible Sagittarius Katie Holmes ultimately couldn’t adjust to Cruise’s waxing and waning. The half-human, half-horse archer, Sagittarius is always struggling to rise above its animal instincts and search for an intellectual understanding of life. Maybe Katie and her cerebral pursuits didn’t make a good choice for the Church of Scientology that seems to make little room for free thinkers.

Hit and Run movie

It’s no surprise that actress Kristen Bell, also a crustacean will appear in a new movie starring her Capricorn fiance, Dax Shepard. Hit and Run is a comedy about a couple trying to stay together in spite of his dark, criminal past. While Dax is famous for arranging a sloth to spend time with Kristen on her birthday, there’s little doubt that Dax, the sure-footed goat, approaches his relationship with Kristen with careful steps and an enjoyment of reaching new heights.

Sofia Vergara Emmy's

Again adhering to the strong family theme, Modern Family star Sofia Vergara, born on July 10, 1972, is a crab known for her beautiful exoskeleton. Today, it was announced she has been nominated for her third Emmy! Will three times be her charm? Let’s hope the tide comes in for this lovely Cancer, whose ability to navigate deep, changing waters will come in handy while waiting to hear if she can finally get her sexy pinchers on the big prize.

Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard: Living near Bieber is like "Lebanon"

Justin Bieber was reportedly chewed out by a mom for his potty mouth during a first-class flight to Australia. At the risk of facing the wrath of his hardcore Beliebers, the "Boyfriend" hit-maker doesn't have a good track record with neighbors in general -- be it those sharing a plane or a 'hood with him. Just ask actors Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard…

Biebs bad neighbor

Kristen Bell and fiancé Dax Shepard can probably relate to the mother-of-two who ripped out the Biebs for his f-bomb-laced tirade during a long-haul trip to Oz.

During a promotional tour for their new flick, Hit & Run, the couple told the ladies of The View that all was well in L.A. — until Bieber fever virtually landed on their doorstep.

Biebs apparently rents a spread behind the star pair's home.

"There's not necessarily like a love-hate feud [between us]," Bell said, adding, "Well, a little bit of hate."

That "hate" stems from the pop prince acting like, well, an irresponsible 18-year-old who happens to have a lot of money.

"The music and the parties and the paparazzi, I mean, it's like living in Lebanon now," Shepard said.

The Veronica Mars actress also pointed out that living in close proximity to Biebs has aggravated the "paparazzi thing."

Her guy explained: "They'll be bored waiting for Bieber to wake up and we come outside."

The comic went on to make an admission that he had love for the Biebs pre-noise pollution.

Bearing in mind that Shepard is a comic , he went on share with the world: "A friend of ours made the Bieber documentary, so we went to support Jon Chu. So didn't I fall in love with Justin Bieber during that documentary?! I had cried and laughed 90 times during the first five minutes, I left with complete Bieber Fever."

While the Biebs insists he's "a man now" who is a "lot more mature" and "more grown up," actions indicate otherwise.

Friday's Fashion Obsessions: Carrie Underwood and Kristen Bell

Carrie Underwood and Kristen Bell's beautiful celebrity styles made us do a double take this week! We're telling you why in this week's installment of Friday’s Fashion Obsessions.

Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood

This isn't the first time Carrie Underwood has landed herself on our best dressed list! The sweet country crooner always seems to dazzle in her casual chic ensembles, and this week she sparkled -- literally! -- at a concert in Rockefeller Plaza.

Carrie seems to look her best when she's glam casual, and that's why I'm loving this look. She paired her fun, on trend floral 7 For All Mankind shorts with an incredibly cute sparkly pink alice + olivia top and blinged out Brian Atwood pumps. Now that's the Carrie we know and love!

The final verdict? The look is summery fun and practical and Carrie seems to know what works best for her petite frame. The short shorts and pumps help elongate her legs -- but don't err on the slutty side -- and the top shows off her sparkly side. Well done, girl!

Kristen Bell

Kristen Bell

Kristen Bell always looks adorable, and ever since I saw her sloth obsession played out on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this year, I haven't been able to stop laughing. This week, the actress showed up to the L.A. premiere of her new movie, Hit & Run, wearing a black Jenny Packham jumpsuit.

Jumpsuits are having a major fashion moment right now, and at first, I wasn't sure about them, but when done well, they can look super chic. Overall, I think Kristen looks adorable and super fancy! She's rocking the look with attitude, and the texture of the jumpsuit -- satin bodice and jeweled detail at the waist -- adds a nice dimension to the look.

The final verdict? I would have liked to see the tailoring a bit shorter and/or have Kristen wear a more pronounced shoe to add a bit more height, but all in all she looks so cute so I'll forgive it this time!

Hit and Run movie review: GEICO Gecko-approved

Delicious Dax Shepard not only stars in but wrote the screenplay for and co-directs his fiancee Kristen Bell in this cute and clever little indie that puts the pedal to the metal. Hit & Run motors with a V8 engine and no sloths to slow it down!

Hit and Run Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell

Living in calm Central California, Charlie Bronson is the sweetest, nicest guy ever! At least that’s what his girlfriend Annie thinks. When Annie gets an opportunity to interview for her dream job in Los Angeles, Charlie is uncharacteristically distressed. Driving at high speeds, he admits to the love of his life that he used to be a bank robber. Uh-oh.

Annie is devastated and completely shocked to learn that Charlie has been living in the Witness Protection Program all this time and lied to her about it. Just driving to L.A. will put Charlie on the radar of the gangster thugs he ratted out to stay out of prison. But his life will be meaningless without Annie. Can she forgive him?

Hit and Run Bradley Cooper

In dreadlocks and goofy red sweat pants, Bradley Cooper plays the main bada** who just got out of jail after nine long months — an internment that included a special relationship with his Filipino cellmate. But one part of the drama Charlie hasn’t revealed is that he kept the money from the bank robbery and hid it. When Bradley Cooper's character finally comes face-to-face with him, he demands his money, pronto.

A collection of car chases, crashes and dangerous driving, this low-budget, high-octane movie straddles the line of action and comedy. Dax and Kristen have terrific on-screen chemistry and hopefully will make more films together.

Hit and Run Kristen Bell

Hit & Run also boasts a terrific soundtrack that adds to the thrill ride, as if you’re listening to a great radio DJ during the movie. The only thing that seems amiss is the fender-bender federal agent played by Tom Arnold. Tom Arnold is talented, but with him, less is always more.

Bottom line: This youth-driven, thrill-kill comedy gets a lot of mileage out of car chases and America's romance with the road. If you're fans of Dax and Kristen, you’ll really enjoy this movie.

Writer and director Dax Shepard proves his relationship with actress Kristen Bell is no hit and run, while still copping to his undying love for cars.

Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell

It would be odd if Dax Shepard didn't make us laugh or at least smirk. Luckily in Hit & Run, he is not the only one to cause multiple laughing spasms.

Dax and his cast of unpredictable characters, including Bradley Cooper and fiancee Kristen Bell, create a quirky dynamic that only accentuates an action-packed love story.

Real-life couple Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard hook up on-screen in Hit

Dax plays former getaway driver Charlie Bronson, who jeopardizes his identity in the Witness Protection Program to help his girlfriend get to Los Angeles for the job opportunity of a lifetime.

From racing through canyons to doing donuts in a deserted airfield, it may seem as though this couple has no limits to their relationship, but that isn't always the case.

When SheKnows asked if Kristen is allowed to drive his prized possession, "Lady Lincoln," she firmly stated "Nope," but continued with a rather rational explanation: "I don't want to because it's too big."

Dax interjected with a logical explanation as well.

"I don't carry her handbags. I don't wear her Louis Vuitton," he jokingly told SheKnows.

Kristen and "Lady Lincoln" do have a wonderful relationship though.

"I have respect for the females who are my alphas ahead of me and I love her. It is my sister wife. We have a great relationship, she is a little loud sometimes but I am fine playing a supporting role to her."

Despite her supporting role, it's quite evident that, in the film and in real life, Kristen and Dax are two turbochargers in a very powerful engine — or, in other words, completely in sync.

Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard: Kids first, marriage second

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard want to do things a bit backward: Kids, then marriage .

Kristen Bell and Dax Shapard talk marriage

It sounds like Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are taking a play out of the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie guide to marriage. The pair — now co-starring together in the comedy Hit and Run — said they don't plan to change their status from engaged to married until all gay and lesbian couples can marry.

"Once it's official and everybody stops appealing it the minute before it passes, we'll get married," Bell, 32, told Larry King in a new interview. "I'll feel more comfortable having a party -- or whatever we have, if anything — if half of our friends who are homosexuals . It's just kind of rude to invite everyone to a party for a rite not everyone can hold."

Shepard proposed to Bell in 2010 — and he was the one responsible for her adorable sloth meltdown earlier this year. We think they'll make great parents, it's just too bad they won't have them until marriage.

Well, no so fast: They're planning on kids whenever it happens.

"We'll have them out of wedlock," the 37-year-old Shepard told King. "We're not worried about that."

"It doesn't really bother us," Bell echoed. In fact, not having the title of "married" doesn't really bother them either.

"We'll apply the appropriate paperwork for wills and security and such, but when he gave to me... that meant more to me than proclaiming it in front of a group of people," she said. "That doesn't feel very significant to me. The moment that we shared when he proposed felt like the agreement."

Love these two.
