Buzz Gift Guide: Gifting Granny

BuzzSugar — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 05:45:34 PST

Welcome to the next installment of my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life. I've already thought up some holiday gifts for mom and dad this week, so today we're moving onto a very special lady: Grandma!

It can be hard to think of entertainment-related gifts for grandmas because of generational (not to mention maybe technological) gaps. But I thought of some gifts I know my grandma would get a kick out of, and to be honest, I wouldn't mind receiving a few of these myself!

For example, take this collection of movies starring Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart - a pairing that captivated an entire generation on and off the silver screen once upon a time. I'm ordering this up for my grandma and I look forward to viewing them with her.

And how cute is this I Love Lucy merchandise? My favorites are the purses. I've also included The Price Is Right on DVD (Bob Barker's entire final week!), a great Ella Fitzgerald Christmas album, a subscription to Soap Opera Digest, and a DVD set of classic Paul Newman films (grandmas still swoon, ya know).

Soap Opera Digest ($37.44)	Bogie & Bacall - The Signature Collection ($29.99)
The Films of Paul Newman ($15.99)	Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas ($10.99)
I Love Lucy Purse: Great Minds Think Alike ($29.95)	Best Of The Price Is Right ($34.99)

Adrian, Richard, Heath and Elle Were There Last Night

Molly — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 23:53:54 PST

All sorts of on screen Bob Dylans (but not the man himself) came out for a screening of I'm Not There in NYC last night. Three of the movie's Bobs - Richard Gere, Heath Ledger and Marcus Carl Franklin - met up on the red carpet, while Adrian Grenier just paid homage to the iconic artist with his big hair. Elle Macpherson looked like a rock star herself with her hot leather jacket. As for Julianne Moore, I'm just happy she's a redhead again. Check back at the end of the week to see what Buzz thinks about I'm Not There - at this point I think it looks like it could be either awesome or terrible but probably nothing in between, you?

Women of Hollywood Celebrate Each Other, Too

PopSugar — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 12:49:51 PDT

Elle's gorgeous women of Hollywood celebrated themselves last night, but the night was about more than just showing off their red carpet looks. As each of the ladies took their turn at the podium, they expressed their gratitude for the award, their thoughts on Hollywood, and their sense of admiration for their fellow winners. Here are highlights:

Lauren Bacall: "It's great that the focus is on women, who are functioning, who are all working, who are productive. I've always been in favor of that, and I've always known that women are capable of going as high as they want to go."
Amy Adams: "I'm so in awe. I'll be the person sneaking in back to try to get a photo."
Diane Lane: "There's a lot more opportunity for young women, and that's great, and I like to think that I was there to help pave a few stones. It's wonderful to have all the different stages of a woman's life acknowledged and appreciated."
Scarlett Johansson: "There's this idea (Hollywood) is this deep, dark place. In reality, I think that it's a reflection of society in general."

It's always wonderful when strong women are recognized for their talents, but it's even more fabulous that they love sharing the honors.

Cate Re-Visits Elizabeth

PopSugar — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 13:59:51 PDT

Cate Blanchett headed to NYC for a screening of Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and this time she went for a basic black dress unlike the bright blue one. A bunch of big names from the fashion industry like Michael Kors and Zac Posen came to check out the film and its extravagant costumes. The movie is a sequel to Elizabeth, and Cate recently talked about what it was like to get back into character almost 10 years later. Here's more:

"I was a bit nervous about returning to a character, I suppose, that had allowed me to walk through a door to an international film career."
I was thinking, oh god, it's ten years later. Have I aged that much?" Being an actress on film is a bit like aging in dog years, it's quite confronting."

Cate earned herself an Oscar nomination the last time around, so we have a feeling she'll be just as great in her new movie. Besides, she's only older, wiser and more experienced now, right?

Lots more pics including Val Kilmer, Lauren Bacall and Martha Stewart if you just

Bella Donna: Lauren Bacall

BellaSugar — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 06:00:47 PDT

Welcome back to our newest BellaSugar feature, Bella Donna, where I'll pay tribute to beauty icons through the ages. A Bella Donna could be an actress, a model, or another prominent historical or modern figure. The only requirement is that she have a distinct and influential look. Thanks to everyone who chimed in with ideas for Bella Donna subjects, and an especially big thanks to Krampalicious for suggesting today's featured beauty, Lauren Bacall.

Bacall rose to fame as an actress in the 1940s and 1950s, starring in such film classics as The Big Sleep and To Have and Have Not. In 1945, she married her frequent co-star, Humphrey Bogart, and became half of one of Hollywood's first power couples. Now 82, Bacall has continued acting over the decades, recently sharing the screen with Nicole Kidman in Birth.

As a beauty icon, the icy-eyed Bacall struck a stunning balance between girlish spunk and sultry siren. Trademarks of her look include expertly arched brows, side-swept hair with large waves, and flawless skin, which looks remarkable even now. To see a gallery of photos,

Cate's Big Bangs

PopSugar — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 23:34:37 PST

Cate Blanchett celebrated the NY premiere of her latest film Notes on a Scandal. Looks like she decided to take a page out of Gwen Stefani's book when it came to her uberstyled bangs. It's a style that dates back to the late 80s but Cate is really able to pull anything off. Love that sleek sexy suit.

Fall 2011 Breakdown: How to Make Menswear Work

Brittney Stephens — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 04:00:17 PDT

Ladies, listen up: if there's anything we've learned from the Fall runways, it's that it is officially time to embrace our masculine side. We're talking tuxedo jackets, bowties, suspenders - the whole nine. The menswear look was shown in collections from Dolce & Gabbana, Moschino, and Jason Wu (just to name a few) and calls to mind liberated, cool-and-confident women like Katharine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall. If you need an extra push, just check out how cute Roseanne Doosje looks in Marie Claire Czech; it's a classic, sophisticated look that has just enough gender-bending appeal to make a serious statement - and somewhat ironically, can actually be super ladylike.

Here's how to get the look:

If you're feeling timid, keep your menswear color palette in chic black and white - the graphic combo is cool enough to make a statement, without feeling too stuffy.
Temper your androgynous ensemble with a pair of sky-high heels. Not only will they add a touch of femininity, but they'll also give you loads of confidence. The same goes for loose waves, lots of mascara, and a sweep of bright lipstick.
Opt for fabrics like silk, ponte, and tweed for a real borrowed-from-the-boys vibe.

Now that you're up to speed, click through to see our complete breakdown of this season's menswear trend, then shop essential pieces.

Le Smoking - The Ultimate Jacket and Why You Need One

Chi Diem Chau — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 12:31:58 PDT

A girl wouldn't think twice about topping off her look with a chic blazer today, but it was a different story back in 1966 when Yves Saint Laurent introduced the now iconic le smoking jacket to the fashion world. At first, editors and buyers didn't react well to Saint Laurent's collection; New York Times critic Gloria Emerson described his collection as "lumpy" and "outdated" and said Saint Laurent "strains too hard to convince the world he is hand-in-hand and eye-to-eye with the very young." However, fashion influencers like Catherine Deneuve, Liza Minnelli, Lauren Bacall, and Bianca Jagger immediately fell in love with Saint Laurent's daring menswear-inspired style, flaunting his designs all around Paris. "For a woman, le smoking is an indispensable garment with which she finds herself continually in fashion, because it is about style, not fashion," said Saint Laurent. "Fashions come and go, but style is forever." Fast forward to 2011 and it's safe to say that le smoking is here to stay. Whether you're a powerhouse working woman or fashion editrix, these jackets add a polished touch to any look. Looking for a new one to add to your wardrobe?
