Annie Scudder — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 12:15:09 PDT

Ellen DeGeneres had Chaz Bono on her show Thursday to talk about his life as a man and his upcoming appearance on Dancing With the Stars. Ellen then surprised Chaz with a phone call from his mom, the one and only Cher. Cher didn't hold back her passionate support for her child and let us know she has no patience for those threatening to boycott DWTS. Cher said, "If you've got that excess time and that amount of hostility I'm not sure that I can say anything to you to change your feelings. Those are such feelings of hostility and fear." Listen to Cher come to Chaz's defense and watch Ellen and Chaz's reaction now.

Some stars' past Academy Award beauty looks weren't the best we've ever seen, but a peek back into the red carpet vault proves that there were many who got it right. Sure, poodle perms, frosted shadows, and brick red lipstick might look strange or dated to us now, but they at one point constituted what was hot at the time. Here are 40 stars who stood out with their memorable makeup and hairstyles at the Oscars (and Governors Ball) from way back when.

Countdown to a Fabulous New Year's! Jaw-Dropping Cher

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 06:03:13 PST

Only two days left until New Year's! Cher has made a few million jaws drop with her over-the-top, wildly creative outfits. There is no such thing as too much for Cher, and while her style is a hard act to follow in daily life (unless your name is Lady Gaga), we happily use Cher as inspiration for a dressed-to-the-nines New Year's look. Mix a glittering sequin dress with these feather earrings ($21), or a feather dress and a gold sequin jacket ($500) for a gorgeously styled look that won't feel like a costume.

Burlesque: Sparkles Can't Outshine the Clichés

Lauren Bradshaw — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 05:30:00 PST

From the moment she belts out her first note, Christina Aguilera owns Burlesque. Her big voice echoes as she shimmies through each song and dance number while coquettishly winking at the camera. I'd even go so far as to call her hypnotic. If Burlesque was just an Aguilera stage show, it would be completely satisfying. Unfortunately, movies require actual plot and dialogue and when it comes to both, the film leaves much to be desired.

Burlesque starts the same way as most small-town girl stories: Aguilera plays Ali, a waitress in Iowa with dreams of moving to Los Angeles. She buys a one-way ticket, moves into a rickety motel (the kind that's so shady you apparently have to hide your money in the toilet), and scouts the newspaper for random jobs. That's when she spots a woman in fishnets outside of a local club called Burlesque. Ali is immediately entranced by the glamorous dancers, but to become one of them, she'll have to get the approval of the club's gatekeeper, Tess (Cher).

For more of my thoughts on the film

To win Tess over, Ali starts working as a waitress for the club's bartender, Jack (Cam Gigandet). The two strike up a friendship (with romantic potential of course), while Ali tries to earn a spot in the show. When she finally succeeds, she immediately becomes a threat to the show's train wreck star (Kristen Bell, in mean girl mode), and she catches the lustful eye of a real estate mogul (Eric Dane) looking to buy the club for his own development plans.

Sound like something you've heard before? The hackneyed plot (including Aguilera's trite dancing-on-the-sidewalk montage) would be forgivable if the film's dialogue wasn't so schmaltzy. Several lines elicited audible groans from the audience, and the overdone soft lighting doesn't help either. An angelic glow seems to emanate from Ali and Tess everywhere they turn: low-lit offices, dark parking lots, back alleys. It's like airbrushing, giving their faces a faux sheen.

Most people will see this movie for mindless entertainment (and perhaps for a good laugh, even if it is unintentional). It delivers on that for the most part. In fact, many of the actors turn in solid performances, especially Stanley Tucci who makes even the worst lines sound fresh and funny as Tess's confidante and the club's costumer. But Burlesque is what it is: cheesy razzmatazz. That may not earn it accolades, but like Glitter or Coyote Ugly before it, it could very well find its place among cult favorites.

Sneak Peek: New Burlesque Pics Are Full of Sparkle

BuzzSugar — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 09:30:00 PST

If Christina Aguilera's performance at the American Music Awards got you amped for the release of Burlesque, then you'll gladly dive into even more glam photos from the film. Though the movie doesn't hit theaters until tomorrow (watch the trailer again here), you can get a look at Aguilera's sequin-filled production numbers alongside supporting cast members like Eric Dane, Kristen Bell, Cam Gigandet, and of course, Cher. We're still waiting to see if the film is any good, but one thing is for certain: it's definitely full of eye candy!
