In honor of Gossip Girl author Cecily von Ziegesar’s series It Girl, each week we celebrate the women who are making headlines. This week, we look at the ladies who snagged a coveted Oscar nomination! Check them out below:

  • Rooney Mara – Nominated for Best Actress for her role as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, her character is a troubled young woman who is hired as a research assistant by a journalist investigating a decades-old mystery. Just as intense as the movie was = how intense of an actress Rooney turned out to be. And it showed enough to get the attention of the Academy.
  • Michelle Williams – When someone asks you to play Marylin Monroe in a movie, you say, “When do I start?!” Michelle Williams got the honor of portraying the legendary actress in My Week With Marilyn, scoring her the nod. She also just picked up a Golden Globe award for the same role!
  • Melissa McCarthy – Her movie Bridesmaids made us fall in love with puppies, Wilson Phillips and laughing all over again! Melissa is being nominated in the best supporting actress category for her role as the crude sister of the groom.

New Couple Alert: Cody Simpson & Kylie Jenner?

Kim and Kris? Pfft, so 72 days ago. Instead, turn your attention to possible new couple Kylie Jenner and Cody Simpson, who I spied flirting up a storm at the Breaking Dawn premiere last week. And just this weekend, I caught them on a shopping date at The Grove in Hollywood. Since The Grove is a well-known paparazzi hang-out, could these two tween stars be trying to get their names in the paper? Or could this be the beginning of a beautiful romance?

Pippa Middleton’s X-Rated Offer

Pippa Middleton’s caught the attention of millions of red-blooded men in her slinky, white royal wedding frock, but will the royal sister-in-law cash in on her bum’s newfound fame? X-rated movie company Vivid Video has offered Pippa $5 million for one “explicit scene.” I’ll bet my tiara that Pips turns down the oh-so-crass offer, but let’s pretend she doesn’t—what would the Duchess Catherine say?
