We are super excited to finally introduce you to our newest feature: The PopSugar 100 List!!
What is it? Well, we've put together profile pages for the biggest celebrities in Hollywood (Do you think it's missing someone? Tell us who here.) for you, our readers to rate on five criteria (likeability, talent, style, class and looks). From there we will take your votes, combine them with the elusive "Pop Factor" (complex equations and all) and put together The PopSugar 100 List, to be released June 1 (and each June 1 from then on) of the current hottest celebs.
Each profile page contains so much more than just the voting, though. It's basically a huge Internet Mash-Up, combining YouTube videos, Wikipedia entries, Flickr photos, Sugar Network Stories and Pop's pictures. Enough for ya? You can also sign up to be "A Fan" of a celeb (like being a friend on TeamSugar) and leave guestbook entries about your favorite stars. Wheee!
Your vote counts every day, so be sure to come back and update it if your feelings change. Did someone you didn't like give an awesome interview? Raise their likability. Did your favorite starlet wear an awful outfit? Lower his or her mark on style!
Let's be honest here, there's way more awesome stuff than I can explain in one measly post, but we promise, you'll love it! So what are you waiting for? Go play! Get Lost In It! And, of course, tell us what you think.
Plus, we'll be giving away free PopSugar T-Shirts to the 10 users who rate the most Celebrities in the next week! Fun!
Beyonce and Jay-Z were out again in NY last night, this time to celebrate the 25th Birthday of Tocarra, who has probably done many more things in her life, but to me is still a girl from Cycle 3 of ANTM. Though they weren't photographed together, both illustrious members of Team B-Jay looked to be in top form at the party. Cause even when Jay's in his casual wear, he's still got the snazziest watch at the party. Also, surprisingly, B's totally not trying to upstage the birthday girl by wearing some ridiculous get-up. Who's humble(ish) now? Okay, I made that humble part up...
Halle took full advantage of the warm LA weather in her white-hot sundress while shopping yesterday. Looking at how glamorous she is now, you'd never guess that she was once so broke she was forced to live in a homeless shelter. In the April issue of Reader's Digest she talks all about the difficult road to success and the tough love from her mother that helped to get her there. Here are highlights:
"When I moved to Chicago, [my mother] drove me there, but I don't think she ever thought it would pan out. After a month or two, I ran out of money and called her. I said, Mom, I hate to ask you this, but could you send me some money? I just have rent money; I can't eat this week. And she said no. She said, "I'm not going to start this calling home asking Mom for money. No, figure it out or come home." I was so mad. I didn't speak to her for a year and a half."
"But I'm actually grateful she did that, because it taught me how to take care of myself and that I could live through any situation, even if it meant going to a shelter for a small stint, or living within my means, which were meager."
"But a girl had to do what a girl had to do. You can do that when you're 21 and ambitious and your eyes are this big and you don't want to go home," she tells the mag. "I became a person who knows that I will always make my own way."
First Jennifer Garner and now Halle? Sounds like opening up about your days as a struggling actress is the thing to do! Obviously Halle's determination (and probably something to do with those good looks) is part of what has kept her in the game and won her an Oscar. We bet that gorgeous supermodel boyfriend isn't such a bad part of success, either.
Owen Wilson hit the Hawaii beach with bizarro Kate Hudson this week. Seriously though, for the first few minutes of looking at these pics, I thought it was Kate Hudson, just not looking exactly like herself. But no, not Kate Hudson...just a woman, in a swimsuit, who has a profile vaguely like Kate's. I sincerely hope, though, this doesn't mean the end of my favorite free-wheeling lovers -- bizarro Hudson is fine for a beach romp, but nothing beats the real Kate/Owen in terms of cuddly-adorable-puppy-ness. Sorry, a little overboard with the cute! there.
Pete and Kate took some time out of their rock n roll lifestyle to celebrate his birthday this week in the Cotwolds. It looks like time in the country has been good for the couple. While we understandably give Pete a pretty hard time, it's hard to argue that he just adores Kate. Her birthday present to Pete included a romantic picnic and helicopter ride. Apparently the couple continued to keep us guessing if they are married by wearing rings on their wedding fingers.
Rachel Zoe was photographed walking down Robertson, Starbucks in hand, looking ready for some serious shopping. She looked chic in her round sunglasses and Chanel bag, which she wore with of-the-moment thigh-high boots, a denim Current/Elliott biker jacket, and printed scarf.
