House actress Lisa Edelstein has moved into the political arena as she takes on the G.O.P. in a new ‘right to choose’ ad made in conjunction with activist group MoveOn.org.

The 43-year-old, who plays Dr. House’s love interest, Dr Lisa Cuddy on the Emmy award winning drama, stars in a new 30-second TV ad as a woman who is forced into a “back alley” to undergo a pregnancy termination.

The message is a direct attack on what MoveOn.org claim is the Republican party’s assault on women’s health and their right to choose.

The ad opens with Edelstein dressed in 1950s-era clothing walking shakily down a hallway towards a door as you hear her voice saying: “Decades ago, women suffered through horrifying back alley abortions. Or, they used dangerous methods when they had no other recourse.”

And it ends with a terrified Edelstein, dressed in modern day clothing, tearfully opening a closet door to reveal a wire clothes hanger, a scene symbolically associated with the dangerous situations women were forced into before they gained reproductive rights.

Edelstein’s voice then asks: “Why is the G.O.P. trying to send women back to the back alley?”

The actress, who is an outspoken advocate for women’s rights, as well as a volunteer for the Best Friends Animal Society, Save the Children and Planned Parenthood, explained her decision to star in the ad: “I decided to do this ad because I believe that every woman needs to know the grave danger that women’s reproductive rights are facing in Congress right now,” she said.

“

I hope that women across America tell Congress that these bills are an attack on women’s health and that they are unacceptable.”

“

This ad is a wakeup call,” said Kat Barr, Campaign Director at MoveOn.org.  “If Republican proposals go through, women could once again face fear and danger when it comes to their reproductive health.

Who cares about The Other Guys, when Eva Mendes is on the red carpet? The hard-bodied bombshell got clad in truly fem fashion, rocking a hot-off-the-runway Oscar de la Renta party dress from the Resort 2011 collection with Sergio Rossi heels to the NYC premiere of her movie. Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell may have been in their most dapper duds, but there is room for only one Best Dressed of the Week on our list.

Just when we though Bjork couldn't trump her infamous Academy Awards swan costume, we spotted the Icelandic singer at the Finnish premiere of Moomins and the Comet Chase dressed like Shrek! Wearing a boxy and pouf-shouldered green dress with colorful tights and edgy booties, she definitely was not dressed to impress.

Though Bjork will never be able to trump her infamous Oscars swan dress, the Icelandic singer stepped out to the Finnish premiere of Moomins and the Comet Chase in nearly as frightening fashion!  Dressed more Shrek than chic, the singer paired her exaggerated-shoulder dress with color-fading blue and yellow tights, finishing the look off with awkward booties.

It was a swanky evening at the 35th Annual Gracie Awards Gala in Beverly Hills on Tuesday night, where the hottest television stars (and Jessica Simpson) stepped out in graciously glam fashion. Jessica fabulously flaunted her curves in a navy blue, one-shoulder gown, having a much better fashion day than her Victoria Beckham faux pas on Monday night! Pairing the embellished dress with a nude, box clutch, chunky bangles, pave diamond leaf-shaped earrings and a cocktail ring, the blonde babe was in high style.

Kelly Rutherford stunned in an impeccably designed, high-necked black gown, which featured an asymmetrical back. Adding stunning gold and bejeweled necklaces and a sapphire blue clutch, the Gossip mom looked flawless.

AnnaLynne McCord looked sophisticated in an ivory halter gown, which featured a tiered skirt and form-fitting bodice, though we weren’t crazy about her slicked bad hairdo! Her costar Shenae Grimes looked beyond babelicious in a lowcut, black gown, which featured a gold, embellished belt.

Ashley Greene opted for a winter white J. Mendel mini, which featured a bowed waist and a sheer overlay. The Twilight stunner added some fun Bohochic earrings for a little extra drama.
