Kids Explore the Arts With a Little Help From John Mayer

PopSugar — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 10:00:00 -0700

John Mayer suited up and grabbed his guitar to perform at Susan and Tony Bennett's Exploring the Arts Gala, a fundraiser for school music programs, in NYC last night. Whoopi Goldberg played hostess for the evening and immediately pegged John as her new crush after his performance. John's Summer tour may be over, but he was happy to participate in the charity event, saying,"There's 12-year-old John Coltranes and Miles Davises walking around. They just don't know it yet." Sounds like John is ready to embrace some competition from the talented up-and-comers.

Gwyneth Shops and Shoots For Many a Cause

Molly — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 16:00:41 -0700

Gwyneth Paltrow invited some fashionable friends to Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld's Hamptons estate last Friday for a chance to shop the Tod's Fall collection. Diane Kruger, Kelly Ripa, and the label's designer, Derek Lam, were among those who joined the fashion house's Fall muse at the benefit for Jessica's Baby Buggy foundation. Gwyneth's charitable actions aren't limited just to helping kids, though. On top of fronting a new anticancer campaign, she's also starring in a PSA urging Americans living abroad to vote in the Presidential election, which you can see after the jump. To think Gwyneth can do all that in shorts so tiny even Jerry took note.

To check out Gwyneth's video, along with many more party photos, just read more.

After the Sex and the City Premiere, It's the After-Party

PopSugar — Wed, 28 May 2008 13:30:31 -0700

The gorgeous women of Sex and the City followed their pink carpet premiere with a star-studded after-party at NYC's MoMa last night. The fab foursome continued to pose together (do you think SJP looked better than LL in that Nina Ricci dress?) as Mario Cantone had fun with some sailors and Jennifer Hudson showed off her second dress of the evening. Even though the night was mostly about the ladies, SJP was accompanied by her proud husband Matthew Broderick, while Candace Bushnell and Anna Wintour brought their men, Charles Askegaard and Shelby Bryan. In true SATC style, the fun times rolled into an after-after-party at The Carlyle hotel. The ladies may have grown up, but they obviously still know how to have a great time.

Sex and the City Premiere Glitters in Gold in NYC

PopSugar — Wed, 28 May 2008 06:00:34 -0700

Things may have kicked off in the UK, but the SATC girls finally came home to premiere the film at Radio City Music Hall last night. Love 'em or not, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, and Kim Cattrall glittered in their metallic dresses on a pink carpet that was covered with more than 10,000 Swarovski crystals. SJP looked amazing in a very familiar dress (hello, LL in Bazaar superhero photo shoot). Chris Noth and more costars came out, as well as some of NYCs most stylish trendsetters like Ashley Olsen and Anna Wintour (looking perfect as usual). New theme song artist Fergie got girlie, while Jason Lewis acted goofy sticking his tongue out for the cameras. Fans are so excited for the film that they paid big bucks to attempt to attend the premiere last night. Seriously, big bucks. Clearly this weekend belongs to the girls in the city, so move over Indy!

Then SJP, Matthew and Helen Found Their Premiere

Molly — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:30:38 -0700

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick were matching in pretty blue at last night's premiere of his new movie Then She Found Me in NYC last night. His costar and director, Helen Hunt looked smokin' in her skin tight gold number as she posed with a dressed down Matthew Perry. This little comedy looks like an adorable take on finding what, and who is right for you, something the other half of the SJP-Broderick couple will be tackling on the big screen soon too. While the similarities between this and Sex and the City end there - forgive me, I'm a little giddy from getting yet another new preview last night. Spring is here and love movies are definitely in the air.
