Kirsten Storms - Days of Our Lives

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:37:00 +0000

Kirsten Storms has been acting since the age of 5. From starring in commercials to playing the lead character in Disney Channel’s original movie Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century, its two sequels and many other Disney offerings—to one of her most notable roles, Isabella “Belle” Black on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives— Storms has transitioned from child actor to grown-up star, working consistently for 22 years.

Runway caught up with Storms on the set of the popular ABC soap opera General Hospital, where she portrays the mischievous Maxie-a role that garnered her an Emmy nomination in 2009. The busy soap star took time out of her hectic filming schedule to chat with us during her lunch break about her new E! reality show and many other things. Runway: You do a wonderful job portraying Maxie on General Hospital. Are there any similarities between you and your character? Kirsten Storms: Yeah, there are a few. I'm not going to try to claim too many similarities between Maxie and me

Caity Lotz from MTV's Death Valley

Sun, 08 Jan 2012 21:00:00 +0000

A fresh young face in Hollywood, actress Caity Lotz is currently playing a zombie-crushing member of the Undead Task Force in the original MTV series Death Valley. This fall you can watch her character, Kirsten Landry, and her LAPD partners scour the lands of a society filled with the “undead” in the name of extermination. Lotz has said about her role: “She might seem sweet and innocent, but she kicks major ass!” In addition to martial arts and TV, Lotz has enjoyed success in film, theatre, singing and dancing. You may remember her from Mad Men, Bring It On: All or Nothing or when she sang with the all-girl group SOCCX. The multi-talented performer took some time out of her creature-fighting schedule to chat with Runway.

Runway: What initially attracted you to the role of Kirsten on Death Valley? Caity Lotz: I liked that it would be an opportunity for me to use my martial arts training along with my acting, and the producers said they'd let me do my own stunts. I also grew up watching MTV and was excited to be a part of their scripted movement. R: We know you already had an interest in martial arts and stunts before you joined the show, but were you interested in horror or science fiction as well? CL: Science fiction, yes. Horror, no. I don't like being scared

Anna Trebunskaya - Dancing With the Stars

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 04:06:00 +0000

When it comes to politics, the United States and Russia may not get along so well. When it comes decadent fashion designers such as Yudashkin and Alex Katasonov, cultural differences are accepted. But when fashion, beauty and talent are combined into a hot import like Anna Trebunskaya, everyone wins.

Born in 1980 during a frigid Russian winter, Trebunskaya started dancing when she was just six years old, winning her first title at the age of seven-very fitting, since her parents owned a dance studio. At the age of 17, she moved to the U.S., bringing her knowledge and passion for dance, various cultures and fashion. Now, nearly 15 years later, Trebunskaya is known as a Russian professional ballroom and Latin dancer, as well as a teacher. She works out six days a week doing Pilates, ballet and yoga, and has made

Mon, 05 Dec 2011 04:20:00 +0000

Rock & Roll Fashion with ERA 9

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 23:46:00 +0000

Montreal based rock band ERA 9 is making quite the noise for their genre bending antics, hard-charging rhythms and captivating live performances. In May, the band released their self-titled debut album to a sold-out crowd at Plaza Theater.

Brittany Curran

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 22:26:00 +0000

Every day, millions of little girls dream of being a Disney princess. Maybe all they need to do is write to Cinderella and ask! That’s what Boston-born Brittany Curran did as a child on a family vacation to Disney World—she handed Cinderella a letter asking to be the lead in a Disney movie, along with her contact information.

At 11 years old Brittany was "discovered" and began booking roles on MADtv and Power Rangers Wild Force and in numerous commercials, including one for Chevrolet opposite Olympic skater Michelle Kwan. And in 2005, her wishes written to Cinderella came true when she booked one of the leading roles in the Disney Channel Original Movie Go Figure, which led to being named one of the "Top Five Faces to Watch" by The Kidzworld Girls in 2007. She is currently playing Lucy on the TNT series Men of a Certain Age. The 5'6" Brittany, now 21 years old, dishes on her favorite

Mon, 03 Oct 2011 23:44:00 +0000

From working daily in her salon to battling it out on the main stage with celebrity judges, this year has been a whirlwind for Hair Battle Spectacular, frontrunner, Ashley Stone. She brought her talents in hair and beauty into the national limelight, this summer, as she became one of the eleven contestants chosen to compete for the $100,000 grand prize on Oxygen’s second season of Hair Battle Spectacular and now, the finale airs tonight, Monday, October 3rd at 10PM.

This Connecticut native is not only a talented and successful businesswoman, as the owner of Salon Alexander and Beauty Entourage (traveling hair and makeup business,) but thanks to her efforts and determination, she is now an expert in avant-garde hairstyling as well.

Sam Witwer from Being Human

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 04:12:00 +0000

For a guy who deals with supernatural elements daily, is a major Star Wars video game character and plays musical gigs with people like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Glenn Howerton (aka Dennis), you’d think Sam Witwer would be a little more eclectic when it comes to fashion.

But the 33-year-old says his personal style is pretty much limited to a T-shirt and jeans. His go-to outfit? T-shirt and jeans. And his fashion icon? Why, Jeans and T-Shirt Man, of course. After all, the 6'1" actor/musician already exemplifies the classic tousled yet stylish persona. Sam is probably most recognizable from his current role as Aidan on the supernatural drama Being Human on SyFy Channel, but he has also worked on such shows as Battlestar Galactica, Smallville, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Dexter. He's also recognized for lending his voice to a video game protagonist, and is the lead

Nick Carter: From the Backstreet to Taking Off

Sun, 11 Sep 2011 18:52:00 +0000

When you think of Nick Carter, the first image you may conjure is of a young kid with a bleach-blonde bowl cut and a flowing white, open shirt, reminiscent of the Backstreet Boys music video “Quit Playing Games With My Heart.” If you entered any mall in the ’90s, you probably heard BSB tunes like “Everybody” and “I Want It That Way” many times. Since then, Nick has changed his hair, dated Paris Hilton, been part of a reality show about his family and released a solo album. Now we find him reunited with the Backstreet Boys, joining forces with New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) and releasing his second solo album, I’m Taking Off.

Runway: How did NKOTBSB decide to come together? Nick Carter: We did a guest performance at Radio City Music Hall with New Kids on the Block, and from that, we developed a relationship with the guys and came up with the idea together. We all felt it was something that could be unique, fun and different in light of all of the things we've collectively accomplished. R: How has it been combining the two groups and their different dynamics? NC: It has been easy because we've shared so many of the same experiences due to the similarities of the groups. It's almost like

True Blood’s Kristin Bauer: Interview with a Vampire

Mon, 29 Aug 2011 08:16:00 +0000

Before True Blood became an HBO hit show, Kristin Bauer—aka Pam—was mostly recognizable from her role on the comedy series Seinfeld as Jerry’s girlfriend Gillian (or, as most would know her, “Man Hands”). Now she plays one of our favorite sassy vampires, and has a wardrobe to die for.

Runway: How would you describe your sense of style? Kristin Bauer: I tend to have a split personality. I like classic and timeless, not fads, as those photos will look dated very quickly. On the other hand, I love sexy new fashion, like these platform (basically stripper) shoes that are the rage. But again, even new trends on me look best when they're based on classic flattering lines, like from the '40s and '50s. R: Who are some of your favorite designers to wear? KB: For my personal life, I'm very comfortable in Gap jeans and Frye boots! But for the red carpet,

Stacey Dash from Single Ladies Interview

Sun, 21 Aug 2011 19:44:00 +0000

To look at her, you'd never know that Stacey Dash has been a TV and film actress for more than 20 years. She's incredibly beautiful-an exotic blend of Latin and Caribbean heritage with captivating green eyes and a svelte, curvaceous figure that landed her in the pages of Playboy magazine at age 40.

Her youthful appearance has always worked to her advantage. She got her first big break when she was cast as Dionne, a high school beauty, in the hit movie Clueless in 1995. Although at the time she was in her late 20s, she convincingly played the comedic role of Alicia Silverstone's best friend. In 1996, her role was reprised in the popular Clueless television series, which aired until 1999. Over the years, she has steadily worked as an actress in both television and movies, landing parts in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Eve, The Game and Mo'

Runway sat down with the Canadian beauty to get the latest on her exciting career.

Runway: You recently took part in a photo shoot for Runway. One of the first things we noticed-aside from your sweet personality-was your confidence. What's your secret to being so confident? Jayde Nicole: I think it's just something I was born with. My mom always taught me to hold my head up high and be strong and confident in everything I do. Confidence is definitely something you need to have in this industry and in Hollywood. R: How was it growing up in a small town? JN: Amazing. When you're a little kid, there's nothing better than having a lake in your backyard, acres of

That shouldn’t surprise us. When Runway recently met up with Cook, he was totally relaxed (that, or he’s really good at faking it!) and had a great time playing on the roof with our photographer. We loved being able to get to know this talented musician and fun, down-to-earth guy for an afternoon. Here’s part of our conversation: Runway: You seem so – grounded. How do you keep that quality through your growing popularity? David Cook: I have amazing friends and family that will quickly bring me back to earth of they see me "floating away". R: Do they help

Elisabeth Harnois Interview

Sun, 12 Jun 2011 21:29:00 +0000

Playing the roles of both a trauma surgeon on a new hit television series and a Martian in an upcoming Disney film would send most people straight into orbit, but Elisabeth Harnois thrives on the challenge.

At the age of five Elisabeth soared into films, starring in One Magic Christmas and Where Are the Children. This year, she shines in her role as Dr. Serena Warren in the CBS network's Miami Medical. Up next for this sophisticated beauty is her role as a Martian in Disney's upcoming stop-action film Mars Needs Moms, opening March 11. "This is one of the most challenging jobs I've ever done," explains Harnois. "As 'Martians', we created our own language which was a lot of fun. I felt like a child again and enjoyed stepping outside normal conventions." We met
