10 Gorgeous Cinema Celebrities

Within the past year or so, the world of cinema has graciously provided some of the most amazing movies to grace the silver screen in quite some time. Not only did moviegoers get to enjoy wonderfully directed movies, they also got the chance to admire some of Hollywood's finest. 

Here are the top ten celebs that gave our eyes great pleasure recently. 

10) Andrew Garfield


The Amazing Spiderman was a superhero movie that was revamped and released with a hot new cast including the one and only Andrew Garfield as Spiderman. Garfield was both cute and smoldering at times and won the audience over with his charming smile and his heroic deeds. 

9) Carey Mulligan 


The beautiful Mulligan appears in the newly released The Great Gatsby as the torn and tragic character Daisy Buchanan. Her faint dimples and dark eyes are mesmerizing. She is a stunning actress and won many hearts with her portrayal of Daisy. 

8) Bradley Cooper


Before Cooper played the touching role of Pat Soltano in Silver Linings Playbook, I simply thought of him as the goofy guy from The Hangover. But his dazzling performance as a man with mental issues falling in love with a girl who is equally as troubled made me see him in a whole new light. His gorgeous blue eyes pierced my soul and I fell in love with his acting and his eyes. 

7) Leonardo Dicaprio 


Over and over I am floored by Dicaprio's performances. From Titanic to Inception to The Great Gatsby, there is always something deeply realistic in his portrayal of a character. His recent role as Jay Gatsby had me falling out of my seat from sheer infatuation. His looks, his voice, his walk...perfectly Gatsby. 

6) Emma Stone


I first fell for Emma's quirky and fun attitude in Easy A. Since then she has blossomed into a beautiful young woman who can pull off blonde, brown, and red hair. She is one actress who is dashingly beautiful inside and out. Her role in The Amazing Spiderman had viewers wishing they could save her too. 

5) Anne Hathaway


Hathaway's performance in Les Miserables has put her in league with Hollywood's finest. Though her appearance in that movie wasn't too glamorous, I must say Hathaway is absolutely stunning with her new pixie cut. 

4) Skylar Astin



This adorable cutie sang his way into our hearts as a Treblemaker in the smash hit Pitch Perfect. What's better than a handsome man? A handsome man who can sing and dance. I must say I swooned at his little moves during the Treblemakers' final performance. Astin is definitely an actor I would love to see more. 

3) Emma Watson



From fluffy haired Hermione to a rather stunning young woman, Watson has made her mark on film with her role in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Not only is she such a wonderful person to look at, but she also has that lovely accent I could listen to all day. Watson has certainly become one of cinema's greatest actors and is receiving a lot of good attention for her upcoming role in Bling Ring. 

2) Robert Downey Jr.



Oh, Iron Man. What can I say about you that is not obviously apparent? The latest installment in Marvel's Iron Man movies is perhaps the best for admiring RDJ's super fit silhouette. More time out of the suit means more time with the great RDJ.  RDJ pumps up the sexy in the third installment and even gives the viewers a chance to admire his dance moves. 

1) Jennifer Lawrence


The number one beauty over the past year is without a doubt the talented Jennifer Lawrence. This woman truly is beautiful inside and out. She is a great example of how being yourself is the most important thing. Lawrence never puts on a front before the cameras: what you see is what you get. Her candid and honest personality makes her all the more beautiful. 



Bonus! 
 
One of music's sexiest:

Patrick Stump


I couldn't write about gorgeous celebs without including one of my very favorite men: Patrick Stump, frontman of the pop-punk band Fall Out Boy. FOB's recent reunion has brought the band, and this cutie, back into the spotlight and I couldn't be happier. Stump is another one of those people who is beautiful inside and out, as apparent by his defense of his fans from the troll Shane Morris on Twitter this past week.

How to Survive a Shopping Addiction

Forever 21, PacSun, Kohl's, American Eagle...etc. I love to shop. Online, in person, whichever. How do I buy cute clothes while staying on a very tight budget?

Easy. I never pay full price for anything.

One of the best ways to save money while also being a crazy shopper is to only shop the clearance racks. I shop clearance racks at every store I enter and usually end up with some pretty amazing deals. Now a "deal" for those of us who really are trying to save money is under five dollars. I try to not spend more than ten dollars for a shirt, twelve to fifteen for jeans, and fifteen for dresses. Now this is only if they are new.

One of my most favorite ways to shop is at thrift stores. Goodwill is the best place to pick up a cute pair of jeans for three dollars. Make sure they don't have any stains and always check the crotch to make sure they aren't worn out and developing holes.

Another great thing about places like Goodwill is you can buy cheap used clothes and then DIY some of it to make them part of the newest fashion trends. I recently purchased an old pair of denim shorts and bleached them in the ombré style. They are a hundred times cuter than when I bought them.

Remember no one has to know how much you paid for something (I however happily announce my two dollar purchases). Shop clearance racks and thrift stores! You can still rock an awesome outfit and save money!
