Sexy Beast of the Day: Hugh Grant


Updated 02/15/08 11:44 AM · Posted by · 2 comments

Hugh Grant may have a reputation outside of the movies for being a bit of a cad, but for my money, he's one of the best romantic leads in all those corny movies you don't want to admit you like. Take Music and Lyrics. He plays a washed up pop singer who meets amateur lyricist Drew Barrymore, and they both fall in love with while writing songs together. (Awwww!) Here, Hugh is funny, charming and Read more

Picture Perfect Tech: Headphones in 'Music and Lyrics'

No, I didn't just pick this one because Hugh Grant is deliciously British and charming.

Front and center in most of the musical scenes in the movie are the ever-classy Ultrasone PROline 550 S-Logic Headphones. Read more

Music and Lyrics: In Praise of Pop

In Music and Lyrics, Hugh Grant plays Alex Fletcher, an aging pop star from an '80s band called Pop who, in his heyday, looked like a cross between Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes and Wham!’s George Michael. He has been reduced to performing at theme parks and on the VH1-esque “Battle of the 80’s Has-Beens” until one day he receives word that Cora Corman, the pop princess du jour, wants him Read more

The Newly Single Drew Still Believes in Love

Drew and Hugh premiered Music and Lyrics in NY just in time for Valentine's Day. The duo look like a great match on the red carpet together so we can only imagine what they are like onscreen.

Movie Preview: Music and Lyrics

In the new romantic comedy Music and Lyrics, Hugh Grant plays a washed up singer in need of new lyrics. Drew Barrymore plays the person who helps him write those lyrics, and they grow fond of each other. Predictions: Drew Barrymore is a cutesy goofball, and Hugh Grant is a sexless, aging bloke with some dry one-liners and near-vertical eyebrows. Who knows? Maybe this movie will surprise me by Read more

Drew's a Romantic Optimist

Drew was all smiles and bangles last night at the LA premiere of Music and Lyrics. Even the adorable single Adam Brody came out of hiding.

You just have to love her attitude on the whole situation. Read more

A V-Day with Pals (or Zach Braff?) is Up Drew's Alley

Drew looks so retro with her Ray-Ban Wayfarers and 80's headphones. Quite a different look than the one she sported the night before at the London premiere for Music and Lyrics. With Valentine's Day rapidly approaching, Drew is happy to talk about how not-unhappy it makes her to just spend the saccharine holiday with friends rather than a lovahh. Here's more: "I don't know what I'm doing, but Read more
