PopSugar — Thu, 21 May 2009 12:18:38 PDT

Another Cannes red carpet lit up today, but this time it was about charity instead of movies as the stars came out for Sharon Stone's annual amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS 2009 benefit. After a long night of partying with Brad and Angelina, Joshua Jackson accompanied Diane Kruger to the event, while Paris and Doug represented a different kind of couple. Robert Pattinson didn't need a leading lady on his arm to stand out in another dapper suit and Josh Hartnett also provided some eye candy for the ladies. The festival is starting to wind down, but the celebs still seem to be bringing out their best to the hectic schedule of events.

Nelson Mandela Celebrates with 46,664 of His Best Friends

PopSugar — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 14:58:43 PDT

London's Hyde Park turned into a party scene this afternoon as Nelson Mandela kept on celebrating his ninetieth birthday with a star-studded concert. Will and Jada were up and at 'em after last night's Elton John party to get on stage, while Geri Halliwell and Prince William's girlfriend, Kate Middleton, surveyed the scene. Amy Winehouse, who was looking unusually tan, managed to take the stage despite her recent health problems. A crowd of 46,664, a number chosen as that was Nelson's prison number during his 27-year incarceration in South Africa, turned out to mark the occasion. Between this big show and dinner with his friends on Wednesday evening, hopefully Mr. Mandela had a perfect and memorable birthday.

Nelson Mandela Throws a Party 90 Years in the Making

PopSugar — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 06:01:00 PDT

It was a 90th birthday party to remember for Nelson Mandela, who went big for his star-studded celebration in London's Hyde Park yesterday. Will Smith managed to tear himself away from his non-stop promotional tour of Hancock to catch up with his buddies Robert de Niro, Forest Whitaker and Denzel Washington, and of course to spend some time with Jada. There was no sign of Amy Winehouse, but Naomi Campbell was happy to provide the drama, showing up even though Nelson personally requested she be removed from the guest list after her recent legal issues.

FABTV: Annie Lennox "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)"

FabSugar — Sun, 11 May 2008 11:13:22 PDT

Annie Lennox, a lesson in androgyny. She definitely took it to the extreme '80s: straight-cut suiting, a black and white color palette and a bright red buzz cut. Menswear has been a favored trend of the last year whereas it was Lennox's signature. Oh, and that voice of hers. This hypnotizing song has one of the most distinctive synthesizer sounds. You know this song from the first five seconds and cannot shake it out of your head. Not that it's a nuisance - it's a classic. The video itself is serious and dream-like, kinda odd, sort of like Lennox. And like that, you wake up and it was all a dream . . .

What You Should Know About the Queen's Diamond Jubilee

Annie Scudder — Wed, 30 May 2012 09:15:30 PDT

The Diamond Jubilee is another way to say 60 years since Queen Elizabeth II became queen. Technically, it kicked off on Feb. 6, 2012, 60 years since her father died in 1952 and she replaced him as monarch at the age of 25, but the main event starts Saturday. Queen Elizabeth II is only the second British monarch to reach 60 years on the thrown. Back in 1897, when Queen Victoria marked the same anniversary, she was much more feeble, having to celebrate the Jubilee service from her open carriage sitting outside of St. Paul's Cathedral. If you know little about Queen Elizabeth, you'd likely recognize her in bright colored outfits and big hats still visiting gathered crowds at age 86. She's not slowing down for the upcoming Central Weekend, which includes celebrations across the UK and Commonwealth for the queen's 60-year rule, from Saturday, June 2 to Tuesday, June 5. If you want to follow along at home, here's what you should know. You might even consider throwing a Diamond Jubilee party, complete with Corgis, favors, and tea.

Who: The royal family and commoners alike.
What: Street parties, a concert at Buckingham Palace, a flotilla pageant down the Thames, and more!
Where: In London, across the UK, and throughout the Commonwealth, the group of nations formally belonging to the British Empire, some of which still have Queen Elizabeth as their head of state.
When: Monday, June 4 and Tuesday, June 5 are bank holidays, so it'll be a long four-day weekend. Here's the breakdown of the official events.

Saturday, June 2: The queen, an avid horse lover, will attend the Epson Derby, the most prestigious horse race in Britain.
Sunday, June 3: Everyday people will get together for The Big Jubilee Lunch, a meal shared among neighbors in the form of a traditional street party or small picnic. Meanwhile, the queen will participate in the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant, consisting of 1,000 boats from across the UK, the Commonwealth, and around the world. The queen and Prince Philip will be on the Royal Barge, the center of the flotilla.
Monday, June 4: The BBC is throwing a concert at Buckingham Palace, with tickets open to the public and kicking off at 7:30 p.m. London time. The queen and other members of the royal family will enjoy music by Elton John, Annie Lennox, Paul McCartney, and more.
Tuesday, June 5: The big party ends with a day of celebrations in Central London. There will be carriage rides, a service at St. Paul's, and an appearance at Buckingham Palace by the royal family at approximately 3:25 p.m. London time - maybe Will and Kate will sneak a kiss again.

Of course, royal watchers, anglophiles, and history lovers can check back here for photos and a breakdown of it all!
