Angelina Jolie made an appearance on CBS' "60 Minutes" this week, and the 36-year-old actress opened up to the show about being a good mother, her perceptions of her own looks, and what her own mom was like.

Here are a few choice quotes from the episode. 

"I always felt not traditionally beautiful. I have big features...as I get older I look like my mom. And I love my mom. You start to kinda put your lineage in line of the different things you are. I see the Native American in me; I can see the German from my father's side and you come to love the combination," Jolie told CBS.

"As long as Brad [Pitt] thinks I'm beautiful...I wake up and I want to be a smarter person. But I feel like that's certainly what I'm encouraging my girls to do," she added.

Jolie called her own mother "grace incarnate." 

"My mother was a full-time mother," Angelina said. "She didn't have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences ... everything was for her children, I will never be as good a mother as she was. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving - she's better than me."

Screen shot 2011-11-20 at 8.09.25 PM.pngOn last night's Saturday Night Live, several celebrities stopped by: Paul Rudd, Jon Huntsman, and Olivia Wilde all made cameos -- but we were particularly thrilled to see the Muppets take the stage.

As ever, they added their signature je ne sais quois to the show, and the whole episode had that special Muppet cheer. 

Check out the opening monologue... And watch the whole episode right here.

And we can't blame them! This movie, it would seem, pretty much has it all: love, marriage, sex, vampire babies, etc.

So what did you think? Did you $12 to the $283.5 that made up the movie's opening weekend numbers? Was it worth it?

If not, you should! If for no other reason than you may spot the occasional Sherri Hill fashion while doing so.

In the most recent episode, Dalia (played by actress Carly Chaikin) and a bunch of other cast members wore Sherri Hill cocktail gowns to a Sweet Sixteen birthday party.

The girls have good taste, huh?

What do you guys think of the show?

It was a pretty exciting night for Ms. Swift (pictured left, in one of her looks for the evening.) 

We have some other favorite dresses from the night after the jump. Check it out!

Last night, Coldplay's Chris Martin made a surprise cameo in the sketch. You must check out his flowing blonde locks and Thanksgiving-themed vest, below.

The pre-teen singer -- who, if she's dressing like this now, who has any idea what fashions she'll be making cool when she's say, 15 -- has attitude and style. So we were happy to see her perform on this week's "X Factor." Wearing a characteristically outrageous outfit. 

She says she's a big fan of the show: "I watch The X Factor almost every night when it comes on. I think it's an amazing show because it gives people space to be who they want to be. Most people have great talent and don't have anybody to sing to or dance to. I think it's awesome," she said in an interview.

Check out her performance below!

In a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Stewart talked about shooting the wedding scene for the film -- and she said it was a pretty emotional moment. 

"It felt too real almost," Stewart told Kimmel. "It was coming to the end of the whole series, and maybe it feels like this at normal weddings, but it wasn't just about me and him. It was like, 'God, you guys. Good job.' You know what I mean? Like we made it. So it felt great. It felt like a real ceremony, it was weird."

She also talked about how she discovered her love for acting. Check out the clip below for the full story.

This year's Country Music Awards were a star-studded affair -- and the Southern-skewing crowd sure did get decked out for the affair. 

Taylor Swift, at left, wore a romantic white gown when accepting the crown as "entertainer of the year" -- making her the second woman ever to win that award twice.  

Jason Aldean won Album of the Year for "My Kind of Party" -- which included a duet with Kelly Clarkson, and The Band Perry won single and song of the year for "If I Die Young."  

Meanwhile, we kept track of some of our favorite looks of the night. 

Check them out after the jump and let us know what you thought of the event!

This week, Katy Perry debuted the video for her track "One Who Got Away" -- which is a little bit different from some of her wilder videos. It's a bittersweet love song, and Perry says she hopes her audience will get something out of it. 

"This song shows a very different side of me that I haven't shown with my past singles on this record. I think that everyone can relate to this song," the singer has said about the song. 

"I wrote this song about when you promise someone forever, but you end up not being able to follow through. It's a bittersweet story - hopefully, the listener learns from hearing it and never has to say they had 'The One get away," she added.

Check out the video below. What do you think?

Don't forget to check out a bunch of other styles and gorgeous new looks at the main site, too, though! We're super excited for the 2012 season and we think you will be too. 

In the meantime, don't you love this ruffled purple cocktail mini for Sherri Hill? The detailing on the bodice is to die for -- at least, that's in our humble opinion.

And it's such an honor that Underwood opted to wear Sherri Hill on the cover of Country Weekly.
