Lauren Turner — Wed, 16 May 2012 12:33:42 PDT

The 2012 Cannes Film Festival opened today with the premiere of Moonrise Kingdom at the Palais des Festivals. Juror Diane Kruger was gorgeous in a pale blue gown after making an appearance this morning in a strappy Versus minidress. Eva Longoria, who is on hand with the festival's official makeup brand, L'Oréal, commanded the long red carpet in Marchesa. Jessica Chastain made her 2012 Cannes debut in white Alexander McQueen while Freida Pinto went with a pale pink strapless number. It's the beginning of more than a week of glamour in France and we're on the ground bringing you the action as it happens.

Interview: Amanda de Cadenet on Loving "Women's Women" Jane Fonda, Gwyneth Paltrow, and More

Tara Block — Thu, 03 May 2012 09:20:00 PDT

We explained why we love photographer and British TV personality Amanda de Cadenet and her new show The Conversation, and tonight is the second episode!

We chatted with the motorcycle-riding mom of three (who's married to a rocker, no less) about everything from sex positions to The Bachelor to the benefits of marriage, but what Amanda's really passionate about is the plight of today's women. On her new Lifetime show The Conversation, Amanda gets into some heavy topics with famous women like Jane Fonda, Kelly Preston, Zoe Saldana, Sarah Silverman, and Gwyneth Paltrow. And she couldn't help but gush about her ladies, who she says are "truly women's women," in addition to opening up about how our sex as a whole needs to start sticking together. Here's what she said:

TrèsSugar: What did you learn from doing these interviews?
Amanda de Cadenet: That women globally are addressing very similar issues in their lives, and that we're not actually that different. I've met so many good people, and that was really the overwhelming feeling: Wow, there are some good people on the planet.

TS: What part of a woman's life do you think we're most scared to talk about?
AC: I would say people have a lot of shame about their relationships. Most women who I know have stayed in a less-than ideal relationship for way too long, and they get embarrassed to say, "Yeah I'm still with this person because I just can't leave."

Or people are uncomfortable saying, "I hate the way my body looks." It's just not PC to be down on your body these days, but the truth is that most of us are. So I love that my ladies are very outspoken about their bodies and how they feel about them. There's been this kind of picture painted, a standard that's been set, by whom I don't really know, that to be a woman who's having a successful life you have to be OK with your body, be earning enough money, be in a relationship. If you're a woman of a certain age you're supposed to have children. You're supposed to be conforming to society's idea of what it means to be a successful woman. None of us are, by the way. And that's part of what The Conversation is about: Who created this notion of what it means to be a woman on the planet? Because none of us are living up to it. And the reality is what we're actually talking about on the show, which is that no one's doing it perfectly. We're all doing the best we can do. And Jane Fonda at 73 says, "I'm finally whole." Gives us all permission to be human, right?

Happy birthday, Jane Fonda! Everyone's favorite '80s aerobic girl turns 74 today. There's no disputing it - she looks amazing and not just for her age.

Jane Fonda Doesn't Miss Her 20s

Annie Scudder — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 09:35:16 PST

Jane Fonda, 74, reflected on her eccentric life today on Anderson, telling the host that "you couldn't pay" her to go back to her teens or 20s. She confessed, "It was not so easy for me. For girls, teenage-hood is really hard." The icon admitted that she doesn't miss the pressure she felt while coming of age to be popular or thin. Plus, Jane says age has helped her become the subject of her own life, rather than the object of someone else's. Watch her get honest with Anderson Cooper below.

Many stars came out to celebrate President Clinton's 65th birthday last night at The Clinton Foundation's Decade of Difference Gala at LA's Hollywood Palladium.

10 Reasons We Love Jane Fonda

Tara Block — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 13:30:37 PDT

Jane Fonda may be 73, but she's showing no signs of slowing down. The Barbarella bombshell still has it, with a new book out this month and a fit physique that could still rock a leotard. But there's a lot more to the actress than meets the eye. Jane has fought for women's rights as a feminist activist, overcome breast cancer, and been open about her struggles with body image. Jane is an honest, hard-working role model, and we aren't afraid to admit we have a lady crush on her. Check out some of the highlights of Jane's long and diverse career so far to see why!

The All-Time Most Effective Retro Workouts!

Self — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 08:00:05 PDT

We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Self here on FitSugar!

When we think about retro trends, we generally get a nostalgic twinge for fashion (leg warmers!), hairstyles (teased bangs), TV shows ("Growing Pains" and "Punky Brewster"), and toys (Cabbage Patch Dolls and Shrinky Dinks).

But recently, we read about an up-and-coming health club chain (60 locations and counting) called Retro Fitness, which is totally '80s-themed. Kind of brilliant (they play "Rocky" and "Sixteen Candles" on a big screen in the cardio room). This got us thinking about old-school, leotard-clad workouts.

Here's an homage to our faves (complete with hilarious video) and what you can learn from them:

Buns of Steel: Minimal equipment, mucho rhythmic movement and leg warmers. Oh, yeah, and if you're as bold as host Tamilee Webb, you can wear a belted THONG leotard. "You're seeing more of this calisthenics-style workout coming back into fitness," says Eric Casaburi, founder of Retro Fitness. "It's drills and constantly changing the workouts. Our trainers use this theory a lot to get Retro members the best workout by keeping the body guessing and progressing."

Move that works: Leg lifts (leg warmers optional). Variations of this move are now staples in Pilates classes - to achieve lean, dancer-like legs. For more inspiration check out Bridget Moynahan's Sexy Leg Workout. Eat your heart out, Tom Brady.
