Gwyneth Paltrow launched Goop's Summer season in London, and her close pal Kate Hudson came out in support. For the occasion, Gwyneth embraced prints in a sheer-sleeved Prabal Gurung minidress, then added much-needed edge via a black leather cutout belt and matching cutout sandals. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Kate stuck to solids in a white metallic pantsuit. She kept the monochromatic theme going with a white tee and white platform pumps, then added a pop of color with a bold pink lip. No two ways about it: both actresses delivered in the style department, but who's ensemble is your favorite?

Four young Hollywood darlings took CW's 2013 upfronts as an opportunity to showcase four spotlight-worthy dresses. Nina Dobrev — who reunited on stage with ex-boyfriend Ian Somerhalder — showed off her figure in a fitted blue dress featuring a subtle cutout and tough chain detailing, finished with metallic Rupert Sanderson pumps and Cuyana earrings. AnnaSophia Robb did a little revealing herself in a striped, cutout one-shouldered dress and champagne-colored satin Casadei pumps. Mom-to-be Jaime King played with an array of primary hues with her long-sleeved dress, while Katie Cassidy stuck to a solid peachy Black Halo number and spiked ankle-strap pumps. All eye-catching picks, no doubt, but which dress rules in your book?

Been on a flight recently? Chances are, a few passengers didn't turn off their portable electronic devices — maybe you were one of them. Now, we have numbers regarding the rule breaking, thanks to new survey findings released last week. Two industry groups polled passengers and reported that 30 (yes, 30!) percent had left a device on during takeoff or landing.

When it comes to actually shutting off electronics, more than 20 percent said they just switch to airplane mode instead of shutting down completely. The gadget that's left on most often? No surprise: it's the cell phone.

While there's no official proof that these devices affect a plane's radio and electronic systems, the policy remains in place.

We want to know: what's your power-down policy?

Do You Turn Off Electronics During Flights?

Yes — I always shut down gadgets during takeoff and landing.

No — Either I forget or I don't bother.

Sometimes — Does airplane mode count as "off"?

Ever fallen asleep on your keyboard? We're talking face pressed upon keys, with an endless stream of "jknnjkkkkkkkkk" typing onto your screen? Well there's a new, comfy way to pass out on those QWERTYs.

Behold: the QWERTY sofa from Zo_loft Architecture. It's not so much a QWERTY sofa as it is an ERTY one, thanks to a few key letters missing. Still, it folds flat into a sofa bed while small electro-monitors control every key (or cushion) so you can adjust its height and turn it into your very own playground. The couch gets major points for its fun and incredibly unique design, but we also can't help but think it belongs in a tech company's lobby or an airport terminal. We want to know what's on your mind, so spell it out for us — love it or leave it?

QWERTY Sofa: Love It or Leave It?

Love it — Just look at that sofa stunner!

Leave it — Meh, this geeky couch is nothing special.

The Whitney Museum's annual Art Party in NYC always attracts the crème de la crème of the fashion world — case in point: this style set from last night's festivities. Olivia Wilde and Lake Bell coordinated in their green printed dresses, though Olivia's Max Mara number was flowy and Lake opted for something more formfitting. Olivia added a chunky gold-and-black House of Lavande Vintage necklace, Iwona Ludyga drop earrings, and Stuart Weitzman black strappy sandals, while Lake carried a simple black clutch and wore black slingback booties. Jourdan Dunn took a different approach entirely, stepping out in a fashion-forward white Alexander Wang dress from the designer's Spring 2013 line and matching white platform pumps. All three ladies went with statement dresses, but which one gets your vote?

Whose Dress Made the Biggest Statement?

Olivia's flowy dress is the prettiest.

Jourdan's little white dress is beyond sexy.

Lake looks edgy and chic at the same time.

Sandal boots first emerged on the Fall 2013 catwalks, but it seems they've already infiltrated celebrity circles. Anne Hathaway was one of the first to rock Tom Ford's black patent buckled sandal boots — which were said to be custom-made vegan — with her black taffeta Tom Ford gown at the NYC premiere of Les Misérables back in December. Rihanna rocked the same Tom Ford sandal boots in nude with a Mary Katrantzou tee and Siwy shorts during a recent night out in NYC, while Selena Gomez edged up her black trench coat with black Brian Atwood cutout sandal boots for her appearance on the David Letterman in NYC. No doubt about it: this is an extremely difficult trend to pull off, so we give these ladies major props. Give sandal boots some thought, then tell us: are you into them?

Not sure — I need more time to decide.

Last night, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, and Kate Beckinsale celebrated Mandy Ingber's new book, Yogalosophy, in LA looking glam in their respective black looks. Kate showed off her shoulder in an asymmetrical, knee-length dress, which she accessorized with nude patent Rupert Sanderson pumps, this black leather Ben-Amun cuff ($205), and teardrop earrings. Jennifer opted for a plunging LBD and black strappy sandals, while Courteney opted for a less feminine and more menswear-inspired look, including a dotted blouse and peep-toe booties. All three ladies stayed true to their unique personal style, but which ensemble wins in your book?

Kate's one-shouldered dress is beautiful.

Right from the title — "A Senate in the Gun Lobby's Grip" — Gabby Giffords's New York Times op-ed is direct about who is preventing even the smallest new gun regulations from moving forward. Yesterday, a minority of the Senate blocked a bipartisan bill expanding background checks by threatening a filibuster, and Giffords laid the blame at the feet of the gun lobby and the weak lawmakers intimidated by it. She wrote with emotion in the op-ed you've probably spotted on Twitter or in your Facebook newsfeed:

Senators say they fear the N.R.A. and the gun lobby. But I think that fear must be nothing compared to the fear the first graders in Sandy Hook Elementary School felt as their lives ended in a hail of bullets. The fear that those children who survived the massacre must feel every time they remember their teachers stacking them into closets and bathrooms, whispering that they loved them, so that love would be the last thing the students heard if the gunman found them.

"Shame on them," Giffords said about the senators who expressed sympathy as they looked her in the eyes as she talked about being shot in the head at point-blank range and then voted against background checks that 90 percent of Americans support. She continued:

I know what a complicated issue is; I know what it feels like to take a tough vote. This was neither. These senators made their decision based on political fear and on cold calculations about the money of special interests like the National Rifle Association, which in the last election cycle spent around $25 million on contributions, lobbying and outside spending.

Giffords, who said that she was "furious," joined President Obama in utter frustration and anger. The president, who pointed out that many Americans already think there are these types of background checks for convicted felons and the mentally ill, blamed the gun lobby for intimidating senators: "Instead of supporting this compromise, the gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill. They claimed that it would create some sort of 'big brother' gun registry, even though the bill did the opposite. This legislation, in fact, outlawed any registry."

Do you think the emotional response from Giffords and Obama will lead to more gun control?

Time to burn your bras? A 15-year study out of France has found bras do not help with back pain and can even lead to saggy breasts over time. "Bras are a false necessity," says researcher Jean-Denis Rouillon, who monitored the breasts of 330 women over 15 years and found little support for the assumed benefits of a bra. The findings suggest that bras prevent natural growth of breast tissue and in a way make our breasts lazy. When the women in the study ditched their bras, they gained a 7-mm lift each year on average. Do these findings intrigue you?

Would You Skip Wearing a Bra?

I'll try wearing a bra less often based on this study.

I'll keep my bra on, thank you very much.
