Alex Pettyfer may not be well known in the United States yet, however the seriously gorgeous 19 year-old Brit is hitting the big screen stateside with Vanessa Hudgens and Mary Kate Olsen in Beastly this summer and that will probably change. The actor was also named as one of Britain’s Hottest Younger Actors in the February issue of GlamourUK. Here is an excerpt:

Boobs are a pit-stop on the way to a better place. I’m an arse man. And legs. I like boobs too, though — don’t get me wrong.

We never fancy girls who fart. If they burp or fart or swear or whatever, it can be a turn-off. but if she’s a good friend, then it’s accepted.

We do crazy things for love. I got a girl’s name tattooed on my ring finger because I was in love. We’ve broken up, but I don’t live in regret.

Pettyfer’s upcoming retelling of the classic Beauty and The Beast story will hit theaters in the US July 30 and the UK on October 1st. Anyone else looking forward to this? I know I am.

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen are launching a teen line of clothing for JCPenney department stores called Olsenboye. The sisters will have the line in stores nationwide in February of 2010, but currently a preview is available in New York City stores.

“It’s really lighthearted, fun and stylish,” says Ashley.

“You have your basics and your trend pieces, and each season is based on a different city. It’s fun. And it’s good fashion.”

The fashion line is named after their ancestral Norwegian name and filled with inexpensive basics like leggings, flannel shirts, minidresses and t-shirts.

Vanessa Hudgens, Alex Pettyfer, Neil Patrick Harris and Mary Kate Olsen star in a modern retelling of the fairytale Beauty & The Beast.

In Beastly, Pettyfer plays the self absorbed good looking guy who has it all taken away from him by a curse and has to prove beauty is more than skin deep. Olsen gives him the hex that sets the plot in motion and Hudgens is the girl Pettyfer must get to look beyond his physical appearance. See some of the set pics here.

There were plenty of celebrities on hand to celebrate at the Burberry After Party in London. One of the largest and most anticipated fashion shows for the spring/summer 2010 collections, the iconic British brand had all the stars and industry folks talking. Alexa Chung, Dev Patel, Freida Pinto and Mary Kate Olsen were just some in attendance.

The movie Beastly, starring Vanessa Hudgens, Mary Kate Olsen and Alex Pettyfer has been filming since June in Montreal and a few new images are being released. The film is based on the book of the same name by Alex Flinn and is an updated adaptation of the classic Beauty and The Beast cautionary tale. Pettyfer has the role of Kyle, the self-centered guy who is turned into the beast and Hudgens plays Lindy – the beautiful girl who can change him back with her unconditional love. Some of the images are not new although I’m not sure which ones except that shirtless Alex is apparently brand new.
