- Some would argue that the biggest party of the year happens at the end (or beginning) of it. New Year’s Eve is notorious for its no-holds-barred shenanigans (just ask Lindsay Lohan, who turned down big party plans this year in an effort to revamp her public image). We’re all for indulging in some flashy sequins on the big night, but like the rest of life, it’s easy to go a little overboard. Especially with the makeup. So whether your plans involve all-out party rocking or keeping low key with your best girls, there are a couple beauty rules anyone celebrating the new year can abide by. Here, our tips for ringing in the New Year with class.

This week’s crush was plucked out of almost obscurity by Steven Spielberg to star in War Horse, a heart-wrenching World War I drama released on Christmas Day that already has major Oscar buzz. Jeremy Irvine, a twenty-one year old ex-London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts student is best known for his role as Luke on the UK Disney Channel Series Life Bites. What do we love about this British hottie? For one thing, his sudden thrust into the limelight hasn’t turned him into a Hollywood snob. He told the Daily Mail that “‘I can’t imagine what would happen if I ever came back [home] and started being a bit of a diva. I think I’d have my head ripped off. My family wouldn’t stand for it.” He’s also multi-talented: he plays several instruments including piano, and saxophone and he’s also a fast learner. Before he landed the lead in War Horse, he hadn’t spent a single second in a saddle.

MAC always has new and exciting collaborations, but this might be the most unexpected (and best) one yet. Chic and glamorous Iris Apfel is next in line to come out with, in our opinion, a long overdue makeup line. The 90-year old fashion icon and self-declared “geriatric starlet” is infamous for her large rounded spectacles and daring fashion sense. Scheduled to hit stores January 5th, the line consists of various lipsticks, shadows, nail polish, and blushes. Our personal favorites are the bold and bright Pink Pigeon lipstick and the Orielle Orange nail polish, both an accurate reflection of Iris’ kooky style. MAC’s press release describes the line as being “inspired by a rare bird who has always been ahead of her time.” So make sure to snag your favorite items from the collection, they’re guaranteed to go fast!

Move over, Justin Bieber! Selena Gomez has a new date for New Years Eve: fellow teen starlet and longtime BFF Demi Lovato. The two singer/actresses will celebrate 2012 by performing onstage together for MTV’s New Years Special “NYE in NYC 2012,” airing live from the station’s Times Square studio on December 31 at 11 p.m. EST. Teen Wolf heartthrob Tyler Posey will co-host with Lovato at the star-studded event, which will also feature performances by Mac Miller, J. Cole, and Jason Derülo as well as special appearances from Katie Leclerc and Vanessa Marano of Switched at Birth. Sounds like a party! The New Year is a time for fresh starts, and we’re really glad that Selena and Demi decided to reunite for the occasion. Friends since their Disney channel days, they faced a bit of a rough patch when Demi checked into rehab for emotional and physical issues. With these two gals taking the reins, 2012 is looking great already! For those of you who’ve got the Bieber fever, Gomez’s boo won’t be far away—he’ll also be performing in Times Square on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” alongside Lady Gaga, Pitbull, and Hot Chelle Rae. Will you watch Selena and Demi kick off the New Year in NYC?

There was some serious competition for hottest Golden Globe Nominee on the 2012 Nomination List released today, but when it came to our Crush of the Week, there was a clear winner. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, nominated for Best Actor in Comedy for his role in 50/50 as Adam, a cancer patient with a 50/50 chance of survival, has been filling our eye candy appetite for years, and making a name for himself as a super talented Hollywood staple. Involved in acting since childhood, Levitt took a break from performing to attend Columbia University, where he studied French Poetry, History, and Literature (brains and brawn, anybody?). This isn’t his first Golden Globe nomination: his role as a hopeless romantic in love with a hard-hearted realist in (500) Days of Summer earned him his first Best Actor in a Comedy nomination last year. He’s also been nominated for MTV, People’s and Teen Choice Awards. His smooth moves in the role of role of suave, well-dressed “point man” in 2010′s Inception as earning him nods for Best Kiss, Best Fight, and Best Breakout Actor. Having proven his skill as a funny man, and an action star, Levitt will be starring in two major blockbusters next summer. In Premium Rush, slated for release in late July, he plays a bike messenger with a serious need for speed on the run from the cops. He’ll also be appearing in The Dark Knight Rising, as a young police office working with Commissioner Gordon. We don’t know about you, but we definitely won’t be missing the chance to see this heartthrob at full speed and in full uniform. Don’t forget to put the Golden Globes on your calendar! On January 15th, 2012, we’ll be glued to our TV’s, hoping for a glimpse of our “Crush of the Week” on the red carpet.
