(Mix "Rowr!" with a little bit of blue dye.)

Weeks ago, I saw the trailer for the new Danny Boyle movie, Slumdog Millionaire, and I declared this girl — Freida Pinto — the prettiest girl in the world (at least for the month).

But whether or not I jinxed her, all up-and-coming lookers make that first-appearance mistake of “Oh, no, she didn’t.” Keira Knightley bared her midriff on a red carpet, Pirates era; Jessica Biel went nude for a magazine cover; new Bond girl Olga Kurylenko, too — but smart girls recover.

Freida, too, will look back on this turquoise leopard-print dress with blushed cheeks and a shamed shake of the head.

(It's a form of flattery, Rachel. Swear.)

1. Both were Mean Girls. Amanda wanted to bang her cousin.

2. Both worked under Nick Cassavetes. Not exactly The Notebook (yet!), but Amanda was definitely head-to-toe wet in Alpha Dog.

3. Starring roles in wedding-themed movies. Here, Amanda trumps Rachel’s supporting role in Wedding Crashers and earns millions playing Meryl Streep’s daughter in Mamma Mia!

Now, Amanda will star in the movie follow-up to Nicholas Sparks’ novel, The Notebook. Channing Tatum will be her Ryan Gosling in 2009’s Dear John.

She’s sweaty, with abs fo’ days, and she’s got one heck of a mangled weave: But ya’ll, it’s Britney in all of her gyrating glory.

(Katharine McPhee, Anna Faris, Rumer Willis, Kat Dennings*, Emma Stone*, Colin Hanks)

The premiere of The House Bunny means Awesome Anna Faris, too-pretty-to-win Katharine McPhee, a showing of The Hef (with bunnies, natch), Bruce Willis’ look-alike daughter, out-of-place guy on the right — and my two favorites — the virtually unknown Kat Dennings and Emma Stone.

(Your BFF is cheerleading on both of your behalves for Variety’s “10 Actors to Watch” — fingers crossed! We’ll see Oct. 27!!)

Kat is so much of a Liv Tyler à la Empire Records, it leaves me wishing for more brooding, more puffed lips, more dark hair in the face, more of that coy Scarlett-Johansson-legs stance. Her character in The House Bunny is named Mona. Doesn’t she make a great Mona? She even makes Michael Cera sorta not-one-note in the upcoming Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist.

Emma gave draggin’ Jonah Hill a chance in last summer’s Superbad, remember? She’s the kind of redhead that I pray stays a redhead — unlike the blond-bots Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Kidman. See her in The Rocker like now, after you leave a comment here. Then wait for her knock some sass around with Matthew McConaughey in Mark Waters’ The Ghost of Girlfriends Past. Waters is, very obviously, grooming his new Mean Girl.

And, the rest: Ashton and Demi lovin’ on Rumer, Anna’s elation for herself, Katharine’s play on Sandra Bullock, Pineapple Express‘ feisty Amber Heard, Entourage’s resident sweetface Emmanuelle Chriqui, and Hugh Hefner’s bunny harem.

(BFF NOTE: I didn’t ever intend on blogging about a what’s-her-deal like Lauren Conrad, but when I found out she wore Dolce Vita shoes, she became more bloggable to me. In a sweet way.)

Lauren Conrad really knows how to sell herself. One day, she tells the world (via Entertainment Tonight) that she’s “awful” at acting:

“I tried it when I first moved to L.A.,” L.C. quipped. “I took a couple of classes. Awful. Acting is an art, and I don’t think I have a talent there.”

Don’t pull my arm and sprain it like Cindy McCain’s hand and make me argue with ya, girl! The masses of tourists getting off their Star Tours buses, 15 times a day, to snap some shots of Lauren’s home (steal some tree branches, kiss the pavement, etc…) probably don’t disagree with her lack of talent either.

The very next day, Lauren drops a mention to E! Online that she’d looooooooooove to guest-star on Gossip Girl. Like the show’s producers would be attracted to Lauren’s lack of acting talent (not self-deprecation; just truth). Like Blake and Leighton really appreciate that L.C. called their show: “superficial.”

I think she’s in (spoiler alert: catty, catty, catty!).

(Tissue? Don't cry because I'm beautiful.)

I look at this girl, and I don’t think Taylor Momsen (which I fact-checked three times because “Momsen” still looked wrong). I think Jenny Humphrey, the wannabe sweetie-pie that usurped Blair’s Gossip Girl crown — but Galliano-knows how she affords all that high-falutin couture. (Klepto, def.)

Taylor — very close in age with Jenny — is 15 years old, wide-eyed and just, omigosh, can’t believe the reactions she gets from real-life girls. She broke it down in a long-form interview in The New York Observer:

“The older girls get nervous. The younger girls cry.”

Yeah. I know, right? All the while, spooning some plain PinkBerry topped with Fruity Pebbles — kinda seductively.

Oh, she’s good. Way beyond her sexy-PinkBerry-spooning years. Surely, she’s got a Traveling Pants in her … though when you see her next in a movie (Doubting Thomas), the Bridge to Terabithia girl gets higher billing than Tay-babe).
