Miranda Kerr took to the runway for David Jones last night. She's one of the Australian retailer's brand ambassadors, and she joined a few fellow models in presenting the company's Autumn/Winter collection in Sydney. Miranda had the honor of opening the show, and later wore outfits from designers Willow, Josh Goot, and Zimmermann. Miranda's been Down Under with her family for the past few weeks, mixing promotional duties with some fun alongside Orlando and Fylnn Bloom. Her main men didn't attend the show yesterday, but Miranda's mother and father did. Miranda was apparently happy to don a variety of dresses and suits. Miranda Kerr said of the David Jones presentation, "I'm glad I'm not in another bikini, especially with people this close."

Angelina Jolie Debuts In the Land of Blood and Honey With Brad Pitt on Valentine's Day

Katie Henry — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:53:22 PST

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt celebrated a very special Valentine's Day in Sarajevo tonight at a screening of In the Land of Blood and Honey. Brad and Angelina arrived in Bosnia earlier in the day, fresh off a layover in Berlin where she was honored last night with the Cinema For Peace award. The pair are back together after being apart while he traveled to London on Sunday for the BAFTA Awards. Brad didn't take home a new trophy, though he did get to hang out with fellow nominee and close friend George Clooney.

The Jolie-Pitts are traveling without their six children at the moment; however, Brad says the kids love joining them on the road. During his recent taping of Inside the Actors Studio, Brad talked about traveling as a family and that each person is responsible for packing their own bag. Award season will bring Brad and Angelina back to LA soon enough for the Feb. 26 Oscar ceremony, where he is among the leading men in contention for this year's best actor statue.

Eat Cake For Breakfast and Lose Weight, Study Says

Jenny Sugar — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:21:52 PST

If your insatiable sweet tooth is preventing you from losing weight, findings from a recent study may be just the thing to help you slim down. Researchers found those who ate a large breakfast that included something sweet lost weight and were able to keep off more pounds than those who ate a small breakfast.

A group of 193 obese adults (not a huge study) were split into two groups. One ate a large, 600-calorie breakfast that included a sweet item such as a cookie, cake, or doughnut. The other group ate a 300-calorie breakfast with no dessert. Both groups ate the same amount of calories daily: 1,600 for men and 1,400 for women.

Proof That Twitter Users Are Sexier Than Facebook Users?

Kristy Korcz — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:03:13 PST

Now you have a reason to love Twitter just a little bit more this Valentine's Day - a new study shows that Twitter users might be sexier than Facebook users. Well, at least they think so, anyway. The study, which polled 1,000 US men and women over 18, found that 40 percent of Twitter users would call themselves sexy vs. 28 percent of Facebook users. But let's face it - it's not just all about looks. Do those sexy Twitter users have actions to back up their claims? The study says yes, with 42 percent of Twitter users calling themselves "sexually adventurous" and 33 percent being a "skilled lover," while only 33 and 28 percent of Facebook users say the same, respectively. What's interesting, though, is that the study shows that 55 percent of sexy Twitter fanatics get it on at least once a week vs. 46 percent of Facebook users. That's not that big of a percentage gap, which means it's possible that Twitter users are just a bit more confident in calling themselves sexy than those that stick to Facebook.

But if you're single and ready to mingle this Valentine's Day, you'll have better odds if you start with Twitter - 53 percent of them have engaged in online flirtations vs. 46 percent of Facebook users. Happy hunting!
