“Avatar” actress Zoe Saldana says she believes fashion is an “art form” and so she puts a lot of effort into picking out her outfits.
The actress, who once launched a clothing line with her sisters and has a fashion database website myfdb.com with her fiance Keith Britton, loves taking time to put an outfit together as she knows it’s important to get the right look, reports contactmusic.com.
“Five years ago my sisters and I created our own brand, called Arasmaci, but we actually produced no more than a few T-shirts and some accessories because I became overwhelmed by ‘Avatar’,” she said.
“For many people, including a lot of actresses, fashion is all about brand names, logos, status symbols, but for me, it’s an art form,” she added.
Saldana also said that part of her job is to look good but she would never wear anything that made her look “cheap”.
“My body is my office, you might say. Half the job of someone in showbusiness is creating an attractive image. And for me, that doesn’t mean becoming a cheap sex symbol,” she said.

Daniel Radcliffe has said that “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” will “shake some people up”.
The 21-year-old actor, who recently finished filming the final two movies of the wizard film franchise, admits he believes scenes where his titular character finds himself close to death after being beaten up by his arch-nemesis Voldemort will be difficult for some fans to watch, reports contactmusic.com.
“Voldemort does absolutely kick six bells out of me, and that’s what makes it effective, the fact that Harry’s a kid (and) having beaten out of him. If it’s Voldemort killing an adult – well, he does that loads in the films,” said Radcliffe.
“To see him brutalising and desperately trying to kill a 17-year-old boy is hopefully going to shake some people up,” he added.

Radcliffe has played the iconic character since 2001.

Dina Lohan, Lindsay Lohan’s mother, has recently revealed to the press that the life of her daughter will come back to norm after she completes her 90-day treatment in rehab. The woman is sure that the Hollywood actress won’t face an untimely death. It is known that the star of Mean Girls was sentenced to jail this summer for her probation violation after 2007 arrest.
Instead of 90 days, the star served only 13 days in jail before she was transferred to a rehabilitation centre located in California. According to a court order, the star will have to spend 90 days in that medical facility where she is already being treated for drug addiction.
But Dina claims that the 24-year-old star is doing her best to rebuild her career and life in general and will definitely succeed in it if the paparazzi get off her back.
Contactmusic.com reproduced Dina’s words when she declared that she didn’t have a crystal ball and couldn’t foresee her precious daughter dying young.
Lindsay’s mother also adds that the actress will move back to New York after her 90-day treatment in rehab comes to an end. That will be done by the star in order to avoid Hollywood pressures.

Brian Friedman, X Factor choreographer, has recently confirmed that these young people are actually a couple.
Brian had plenty to say after he met both of them in Los Angeles where Cheryl had a bout of malaria and Derek was staying by her side.
He told the Daily Mirror that he had been in touch with Derek and Cheryl since they had been over in Los Angeles. According to him, he is really very close with this couple.
