Last night, The Cinema Society & Altoids, with Moet, hosted a screening of The Weinstein Company’s Submarine. Adapted from the Joe Dunthorne novel of the same title, the stylish, funny film takes us into the world of Oliver Tate, a precocious Welsh teenager. The Serge Gainsbourg-listening, Nietzsche-reading, Holden Caulfield-esque Oliver is on a mission to not just lose his virginity, but be the best boyfriend in the world to Jordana, a stoic brunette with mild eczema. At home, Oliver is also obsessed with saving his parents’ marriage, which means doing all he can to stop a mystic with a mullet from making the moves on his mom. The film counts Ben Stiller as executive producer, and features a sweet soundtrack by Arctic Monkey’s frontman Alex Turner. ELLE chatted with director Richard Ayoade to get the inside scoop.

The newest hit to come out of Disney’s original movie-making machine is Lemonade Mouth, a sort of Breakfast Club-meets-Glee story about five high school kids who meet in detention and discover that 1. they all have musical talent, and 2. together actually make a pretty good band (and yes, there is a competition involved!). The movie makes its DVD debut tomorrow, May 24, but in the meantime, we caught up with star Bridgit Mendler on her musical inspiration, what embarrasses her, and of course, the biggest thing she ever got busted for.

If it’s difficult to imagine Rihanna taking orders from a drill sergeant, just ask her friend, the R&B singer Shontelle. ELLE spoke with Shontelle Thursday night at a cocktail party in the flagship Soho store of GUESS by Marciano, which benefited the Joffrey Ballet School.
Amber.Stardoll- A nice jumpsuit is the perfect outfit for summer! You can dress it down with some cute flats or dress it up for evenings with some heels and jewlery. They are so great because they come in so many different styles but will always make you look chic and trendy! Check out some celebs rocking some different ones and get inspired!

Here’s one stylish way to spend your post-Cannes time in France: Zipping around Paris on Colette’s special edition Super Motor motorcycle. The Paris boutique teamed up with the Dutch roadsters on a Super 50/100 motorcycle bearing Colette’s colorings (that would be blue and white) in place of the usual chrome. You don’t need to park it in front of the Rue Saint-Honoré location for people to know who had a hand in the retro design; among the details on the bike is a splash of Colette’s trademark polka dots. Two-wheel connoisseurs will have plenty to keep them occupied—it’s a semi-automatic four-stroke motorcycle based on the Honda Cub—but you don’t need to be an expert to recognize stylish design. Also of note: the price. While it’ll cost you more than a few taxi rides to the Centre Pompidou, Super Motor was launched by two cycle-obsessed cousins who wanted a bike that looked good without costing a fortune. If you’re sold, it’s time to book that flight to Paris, since the bike is on sale from today through May 28. Visit Colette.fr for more info.

- There is no doubt about who reigned the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas last night!

Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Taio Cruz & Train didn't do too shabby either. Check out which awards they were all honored with by clicking through the gallery.

- Hot shots from all around the music industry gathered at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas last night. With so many prominent personalities all in one space, you simply must to dress to impress on the red carpet. Yet, no one really did...We had no real "wow moment" looking at the outfits, however suppose Taylor Swift does deserve a small wow for her elegant dress and flawless styling.But yeah, all in all we were a bit bored... But perhaps you feel differently? Check out the red carpet outfits in the gallery above!

- There are two disadvantages of having lunch outside as a celebrity. 1) The paparazzi will snap nasty eating shots of you and 2) just about everyone walking by will stop to ask for your autograph!When funny man Jim Carrey tried to enjoy a lunch at Bar Pitti in Manhattan, New York the other day, he could hardly chew one bite between the constant stream of excited fans. He took his time to chit chat with each and one of them though, and didn't look all to bothered with it. Love beats food, right?

- We spotted Michael Jackson's adorable children Prince, Blanket and Paris coming out of an acting class together in Los Angeles the other day. Paris and Prince were laughing and joking around on the way to the car, while Blanket was a bit shy to see the photographers. All in all though, they looked happy and healthy. We're so happy to see that they're doing okay!
