Cosmopolitan magazine played hosted last night for their annual Fun and Fearless Awards at NYC's Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The year's big honorees were Dakota Fanning, in Miu Miu, and Paul Rudd, who earned the female and male titles, respectively. Additional honors went to The Hunger Games hunk Liam Hemsworth, Grey's Anatomy's Jesse Williams, 21 Jump Street's Jonah Hill, a YSL-clad Freida Pinto, NFL star Adrian Peterson, Pretty Little Liars' Lucy Hale, and a Chanel-wearing Rose Byrne. Both Jonah and Liam wore Ermenegildo Zegna.

We caught a moment with Liam on the red carpet, where he opened up about his big Hunger Games press tour. He spoke about the devoted fans of the series he's encountered so far, saying, "We had our first mall event the other day, and there were lots of screaming fans, and a few teary-eyed fans, which was interesting. Very nice and very flattering to see people that passionate about it." Dakota told us she's not familiar with Liam's franchise, but she's excited to see the film. As for a daring thing she's done lately, Dakota said, "Probably starting my Spring semester at college. That was probably the most fearless thing!" Make sure to check back later today for video of our interviews with Liam, Dakota, and the other attendees on PopSugar Rush.

Digital Dating: Men vs. Women

AskMen.com and Cosmopolitan teamed up to release the results of the Great Male/Female Survey.

AskMen.com and Cosmopolitan teamed up to release the results of the Great Male/Female Survey. The poll of more than 80,000 men and women around the world looks at the current state of love, health, fashion, and life for both sexes. Of course, we're a bit more interested in the survey's findings on dating in a digital world.

  • Both men and women are nearly equally comfortable with a partner friending an ex on Facebook. Forty-four percent of men say this is fine, and 40 percent of women are not bothered with exes keeping in touch.
  • More of the surveyed women are tempted to read a partner's Facebook messages or emails. Twenty-nine percent of women would not peek at this correspondence, compared to the 36 percent of men who refuse to look at private messages.
  • Online dating? Sure! Only 37 percent of men and 44 percent of women would completely rule out the prospect of finding a mate through a matchmaking website.

With the intricacies of digital life, social networks, and online dating moving into the mainstream, perhaps it's now OK to make this assumption: both men and women are looking at tech life through the same (digital) lens.

Cameron Diaz Keeps Skin and Sexy Coming With a New Cosmo Cover

Cameron Diaz shows a lot of skin in a curve-skimming top on the cover of Cosmopolitan's June issue. The actress, who has an upcoming raunchy role in Bad Teacher alongside her ex Justin Timberlake, has posed for several scantily clad magazine shoots to promote the comedy. She also sports a strapless bodysuit in the new edition of Elle UK and some skimpy Daisy Dukes for Maxim. Cameron is clearly having fun with this new phase of her career but also gets reflective in her Cosmopolitan interview when she talks about her relationship with Alex Rodriguez, her thoughts on marriage, and what she's learned now that she's 38 years old. She says: "I think you get better as you age. You know what you want, and you become stronger mentally, emotionally, and physically . . . But also, things have happened recently that have pushed me to grow. My father died, and having gone through that really made me think about my life and how I want to live it."

Mila Kunis was the lone female on the patterned carpet last night at Cosmopolitan's Fun Fearless Male event in NYC last night. She was the only woman to get an award during the guy-centric event, saying, "This is going to be very exciting. I'm looking forward to it." She traded her Oscars glamour for something more masculine, turning out in an all-white pantsuit that Russell joked made her look "like Tom Hanks in Big." Her Forgetting Sarah Marshall costar Russell was the man accepting the night's biggest honor from the magazine, and he sent a special tweet to his wife, Katy Perry, saying he did his makeup in her honor. Katy couldn't attend the event since she's off touring Europe, but she and Russell were able to meet up last week in LA. The Vampire Diaries' Ian Somerhalder was another of the hotties who turned out for the bash, along with Penn Badgley and Isaiah Mustafa.
