Ari Gold cleans up rather nicely—actor Jeremy Piven ditched his Entourage alter-ego to button-up a three-piece suit for the red carpet premiere of The Goods at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. And Eric Bana, who plays the guilt-ridden time-traveler in the film adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger’s book, gets serious at the August 12 premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City.

Although thousands of miles away, two Heathers woke up in identical moods on August 11. Heather Graham paired her butterfly-embellished dress with a flower accent in her hair at the Barcelona premiere of The Hangover. Over in Beverly Hills, The Bold and the Beautiful actress Heather Tom accessorized her tiny tiered dress with a black flower necklace at the Poolside Summer Party for the Malibu and Reef Check Partnership.

Honey, no, what are you going to wear? Dancing With the Stars pair Shawn Johnson and dancer Mark Ballas color-coordinated themselves for the Teen Choice Awards, held at the Gibson Amphitheatre, while Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt left the kids at home (along with any color in their wardrobes) to attend the premiere of Inglorious Basterds at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Meanwhile, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher attended a screening of his new film Spread in the Hamptons—so that explains their tans.

Fringe is in, again? Carla Gugino attended a Hollywood Foreign Press luncheon in Beverly Hills sporting an updo with bangs, as did Christina Ricci at the Los Angeles premiere of Inglorious Basterds on August 10. Jordana Brewster rounds out the trio with a low ponytail and a set of perfectly trimmed bangs.
