Star Jones is giving you that ‘come hither’ stare.

The attorney and host joined Elizabeth Banks on the red carpet for the Go Red for Women event in NYC.

‘The Hunger Games’ and ‘What to Expect When You’re Expecting’ star Elizabeth Banks opens up in the March issue of Women’s Health about her decision to become a mom via surrogate after years of trying.

“It helps that other moms had said that once they had their babies, they forgot they were ever pregnant.  So once my focus became the baby and not the pregnancy, it was a very easy decision.”

On balance and teamwork with her husband (who she’s been with 19 years):

“Working together provides a lot of balance in our life and it’s a way for us to [see each other], because I travel so much for work. “

Could she run for office?

“I have an amazing marriage and it will be long-lasting. I think I’m a good mom.  I could run for office, no problem, because there are no skeletons in my closet. Not that I would run for office…”

Sam Worthington hit the red carpet last night with a new girl on his arm! Meet his girlfriend, Crystal Humphries. She’s very pretty – don’t get me wrong, but she looks so “normal”! Sam is one of Hollywood’s hottest stars right now, I would expect to see some Victoria’s Secret model on his arm. I think I like him more now.

Also pictured: Elizabeth Banks. She’s gorgeous. Check out those shoes!!

Here’s another first look at the cast of ‘Hunger Games’! Today EW released our first look at Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket!

In another canny move to whet the appetites of Suzanne Collins’ rabid fans, Lionsgate will release a series of posters featuring the major characters from their feverishly anticipated adaptation of The Hunger Games on Friday. Until then, EW has the exclusive first look at Elizabeth Banks in all the garish splendor of Effie Trinket. (See it after the jump!) Pink wig, possibly askew? Check! A feverish glint in Banks’ eye betraying Effie’s otherwise officious manner. Check!

For the uninitiated, Effie is series heroine Katniss Everdeen and her District 12 counterpart Peeta Mellark’s tinny and willfully oblivious handler as they navigate the reaping and Capitol. “Happy Hunger Games!” she cries out happily to the crowd of terrified children awaiting to hear who will have to fight to their death. “And may the odds be ever in your favor!” She’s a wonderful comic turn of a role, with great layers of menace and vulnerability. And as thrilling as it is to see this first glimpse of Effie come to life, and as much as I’ve always been a fan of Banks’ enormous comedic chops, I feel like I need to hear Banks’ voice in character. It’s Effie’s boiling-over-with-enthusiasm trilling that grates so on Katniss and Peeta as they prepare for battle. She is like your most high-strung, possibly dangerous, occasionally endearing relative at intense family gatherings. She needs everything to go just perfect or she could very well snap. Hey wait, that last part makes her sound like us Hunger Games fans as we fuss and squeal over every new scrap of movie news.

Elizabeth Banks, star of ’30 Rock’ and ‘W’ and her husband Max Handelman have welcomed a son via surrogate! She just made the announcement on her website!

Elizabeth and her husband Max, were college sweethearts and married in 2003. Handelman is a sports writer and producer, whose first film was a Bruce Willis sci-fi thriller titled, perhaps ironically, “Surrogates.”

Banks will be seen later this year in the Paul Rudd-starring film “My Idiot Brother.”

I’m liking his new look! He looks different, hotter even! Now if he can just stay away from crappy romantic comedies, everything would be better!

Here are a bunch of celebs at the premiere of Russell Crowe’s new movie, “The Next Three Days”.

Hugh Dancy, Kathryn Hahn, Shirley Knight, and Janet Montgomery are the latest to join the comedy My Idiot Brother, which stars Paul Rudd as a man “who upends the lives” of his three sisters, who are portrayed by Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer, and Elizabeth Banks. Knight will appear as Rudd’s mother, while Dancy will play a friend of Rudd’s sister. Hahn will play Rudd’s ex, who surely would have stayed with him had she gotten a taste of a little Sex Panther.
