TV Tonight: Living Proof on Lifetime

BuzzSugar — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 13:30:04 PDT

Raising awareness and funds when it comes to fighting breast cancer is only half the battle. Tonight's TV movie on Lifetime, Living Proof, shows that for the doctors and scientists working on a cure, the fight has just begun.

Starring Harry Connick Jr., Living Proof "is the true story of oncologist and researcher Dr. Dennis Slamon, the UCLA doctor who helped develop the breast cancer drug Herceptin, and his effort to keep the drug trials afloat."

Based on the clips I've watched, Dr. Slamon faced down messy politics and sacrificed a great deal to help women suffering from breast cancer, so it seems like an inspiring true story to air during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The movie also stars Bernadette Peters, Amanda Bynes, Angie Harmon, Swoosie Kurtz, Tammy Blanchard and Regina King, and Renée Zellweger is one of the executive producers.

Below I've included some preview clips, including a chat with Connick Jr. about the film and a taste of an original song he wrote for this project. Living Proof airs tonight at 9:00 p.m. (but check your local listings). To see the clips,

FiFi's Fragrances Attract the PYTs

PopSugar — Wed, 21 May 2008 13:30:30 PDT

We're sad to see our favorite TV shows head to hiatus for another Summer, but luckily the stars of the small screen are still coming out to play in Hollywood. Last night Alyson Hannigan, Minka Kelly, and Taylor Momsen got dolled up for the 36th Annual FiFi Awards in NYC. The ladies helped honor the night's big winners, which included Daisy Marc Jacobs and Intimately Beckham Women. We can see that they looked gorgeous in their springtime dresses, and something tells us that the lovely ladies smelled just as sweet.

More pics including Padma Lakshmi, Vera Wang, and Nikki Blonsky, so just

Broadway Barks For Bernadette Peters and Kramer!

PetSugar — Tue, 13 May 2008 13:00:22 PDT

Don't you just love it when celebrities use their fame to do good for animals?! Well-known animal advocate Bernadette Peters created an event a decade ago with pal Mary Tyler Moore called Broadway Barks, to raise money for New York-area shelters. Year after year, she lends her support to rescue groups and promotes shelter adoptions . . . and even puts her metaphorical money where her mouth is being dog mommy to rescued pups as well. Check out her mixed-terrier pooch, Kramer, who she rescued from a local shelter and describes as a sensitive and goofy Kevin Kline type. In its tenth year this July 12, learn how the Broadway Barks event has inspired a children's title (and see pictures of her starring pooch at yesterday's book release party) when you

Broadway Barks is a book about a homeless dog in the big city who takes an unlikely path to stardom by following a stranger one day. It includes a CD with a touching tune called "Kramer's Song" dedicated to her pooch – and sung by Bernadette herself. Although the dog in the book is named Douglas, the super-cute illustrations look a lot like lil Kramer don't you think?

Madonna Shows Us Her Softer Side, Too

Molly — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 02:03:00 PDT

Madonna looked earthy and pretty at last night's Tribeca Film Festival premiere of the documentary she produced on Malawi, I Am Because We Are. She was joined by her longtime friend Rosie O'Donnell, but as usual these days there was no Guy by her side. After her big night, Madonna has only a few short days until the highly anticipated release of Hard Candy on Tuesday (can't wait!). If you're as antsy as we are to hear the whole thing, you can check it out all weekend on her MySpace page. Between these two projects it's quite the week for the queen of pop - not that anything could wear Madonna out.
