Penelope Fights For Our Rights

PopSugar — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 14:41:39 -0800

Penelope was on hand last night at the ACLU Bill of Rights Awards in Beverly Hills to honor those that take risks to defend our liberty. There she accepted an award on behalf of director Paul Haggis who got us thinking in his movie, Crash. Jewel performed for the guests. Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks and Bill Maher also took home awards, no doubt for their very outspoken political views. The annual event marks the anniversary of the signing of the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, which includes our rights to free speech.

Oprah Gets Jay-Z to Laugh and Talk Beyonce, Just a Little

Molly — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 06:00:00 -0700

Jay-Z isn't a man of many interviews, but he's been making the selective rounds promoting his album Blueprint 3, which comes out on September 11. He recently opened up a bit on Real Time With Bill Maher and now he's in the upcoming issue of O Magazine. He met up with Oprah in his old Brooklyn neighborhood to talk a little about his upbringing, wedding to Beyonce and the most influential books in his life. Even Oprah gushed a little about how good he smells. There's more to come when the magazine is out, but for now here are highlights:

On why he was the one from his neighborhood to succeed: "There's the gift, there's the spirit, and there's the work - all three have to come together. If one of those things is off, it can stop you from becoming who you were meant to be."
On using the N-word in his lyrics: "Nothing is necessary. It's just become part of the way we communicate. My generation hasn't had the same experience with that word that generations of people before us had. We weren't so close to the pain. So in our way, we disarmed the word. We took the fire pin out of the grenade."
On his wedding with Beyonce: "Late planning! ... Very few [people knew]. The sad part is that we offended some. But people who love you understand. Because at the end of the day, it's your day."
On his favorite date spot: "I'm gonna get killed for this, but I'll tell you anyway. There's a great pizza spot we go to every Sunday. It's our tradition. It's a small place in Brooklyn, you can bring your own wine, and there are candles there. It's a nice date."

Jen and John Cozy Up With Fellow Oscar Partiers at VF

PopSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 08:30:30 -0800

Despite rumors that Graydon Carter was scaling things back for this year's Vanity Fair Oscars party, the soiree was as A-List as ever at its new venue the Sunset Towers. Jennifer Aniston could relax after her presenting duties, and when she and John Mayer hit the party, they couldn't keep their hands off each other. The couple cuddled up every chance they got, and he twittered a sweet message about her. Salma Hayek hugged her friend Penelope Cruz to celebrate her Supporting Actress win. Elsewhere, Jessica Alba and Kate Bosworth caught up with presenter Halle Berry to smile for the cameras, while Jake Gyllenhaal shared a moment with Reese Witherspoon.

The fans let loose quite the screams when Kate Winslet, the star of the night, hit the red carpet with her Oscar in hand. Once inside the party she shared it with fellow nominee Meryl Streep just a bit. Madonna had her own party to host with Demi Moore, but she also stopped by VF, where she showed off her toned arms. Apparently even Captain Sully made a surprise appearance at the bash, which may have been smaller than usual but didn't lack in the glamour department.

The Winners Get Giddy and Glowing in the Press Room

Molly — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 07:00:00 -0800

After taking the stage to accept their awards, the night's big winners - and some of the exciting presenters - walked backstage to pose for photos and talk to the press. Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker skipped the interview aspect of things instead posing pretty in front of the big gold men before running off to the after parties. The big award winners were still glowing from their wins when they stepped in front of the mics to talk about what brought them there. Penelope was first up and she was happy to answer questions in her native Spanish before gushing about Woody Allen.

Heath's family did an incredible job honoring their son who took home the well deserved Best Supporting Actor award. Nothing was stopping Kate Winslet who joked about just how much better winning is than losing. Sean Penn made things a bit more serious talking about the political importance of Milk before continuing to rave about Mickey Rourke. Check out all Buzz's press room coverage and all the Oscars madness on all the Sugar sites!

The Party Continues for Superhero Celebrities

PopSugar — Tue, 06 May 2008 15:35:17 -0700

After all the fabulous red carpet appearances from the A-list crowd at the Superhero themed Costume Gala, the night carried on and sounded just as dramatic as the entrances. Apparently Julia Roberts and Victoria Beckham bonded over motherhood while Tom continued to express his love with a lick on Katie's sweet neck. Hmm, gross. Josh and Diane remained picture perfect and Blake Lively and Penn Badgley continued to ignite off screen romance rumors by sticking close to each other's side (of course, that was nothing compared to last night's shocking episode - except maybe her killer wardrobe). Also looks like birthday boy Clooney was enjoying his evening, which apparently included a serenade from Fergie and John Mayer.

Many, many more images including Mischa Barton, a very happy Anna Wintour and Djimon Hounsou so read more.

Charlize Plays Cowgirl

PopSugar — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 00:17:56 -0700

Charlize Theron looks beautiful as Vogue's October cover girl where she manages to make cowboy hats and chaps look glamorous and sexy. Charlize has proven that she's much more than just another pretty face and in the article she talks about her frustrations with Hollywood's obsession with looks and exposure. Here are highlights:

"Doing press on North Country really pissed me off. 'Yet another transformation!' And I was like, I didn't do anything! I went into a mine and I got dirty. I was doing press in Rome, and I had to walk out of one interview. The journalist said, 'Another ugly role!' Then I heard Bill Maher make a joke about it on TV. 'You know what, Charlize? Seriously, like, we get it. Enough with the ugly roles.' I just went, It's so unfair. I understand what happened with becoming Aileen. But to try to put that on every other character I play? It's like I have to walk such a fine line because I don't want people to think I'm a one-trick pony."
"...but there's a sadness in that the longer you stay in this career, the harder it becomes to get people to sit in a theater and not focus on your looks. Maybe that's why I try to keep my private life so private and why I don't want to be an InTouch celebrity. It's why I don't have any patience for paparazzi. It's just not something that helps me at all."

Charlize makes a good point but like any actress, you have to deal with highs and lows, even if it means suffering through some backlash. Besides, she's been rewarded twice with Oscar nominations (and one win) so she must be doing something right.
