Ashley's Man Wins the Indy 500

PopSugar — Tue, 29 May 2007 07:12:57 -0700

Pouring rain could not stop Ashley Judd from celebrating her husband Dario Franchitti's big win at the Indy 500 this weekend. Despite being in a soaked sundress Ashley climbed the pit wall to join Dario in the middle of his victory lap. Tons of stars were there to watch the celebration as well even though the rain was so bad the race had to be cut short to 415 miles! The Grey's men were totally representing and it look like Chris Daughtry gave a rockin' performance with his band as usual. Although we're sad to say it looks like Chris is sporting guyliner again. Do you think guyliner is sexy?

Justin Timberlake Hits the Links and Jokes With Leno

PopSugar — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 05:00:00 -0700

Justin Timberlake smiled for the cameras in Las Vegas over the weekend and yesterday for his second annual Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. He found time for a few practice rounds last week, but he unfortunately missed out on the three chances at a hole in one to win a $1 million donation for Shriners. He was still in good spirits saying, "This would be like Phil Mickelson trying to sing Andrea Bocelli at Madison Square Garden. Only, we’re going to get Rolling Stone and all my press peers to watch him do it." The charity tournament continues this week and the singer filmed a quick appearance on The Jay Leno Show last night. Justin joked about meeting Peyton Manning, his phobia of "possible future in-laws," and members of *NSYNC hitting him up for cash. Justin didn't sneak in a mention of Jessica Biel to confirm they're still together, but his cheeky sense of humor took center stage during the interview.

Justin's Not Playing Around

PopSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 16:30:00 -0700

Justin Timberlake tried to sneak out of LA's Guys & Doll's club last night following his afternoon spent at a recording studio. He's taken some time off from music over the last few months to focus on fashion, film and golf, but apparently he's ready to get back to laying down tracks. He has another item on his agenda that may distract him from singing - he signed a deal with Sony to represent their products in upcoming ads along with Peyton Manning and Amy Sedaris.

Jessica Really Appeals to the Teens

Molly — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 07:05:00 -0700

Apparently Jessica and Cash didn't have time to take advantage of being in Paris after Eva and Tony's wedding, because the two were at the airport on their way out yesterday morning. And don't they just look thrilled as usual (though I'm loving her coat)? Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer may have been a bit overshadowed by the other Summer blockbusters, but the Teen Choice Awards committee took notice and nominated Jessica for 3 awards: Hissy Fit, Female Hottie, Action Adventure Actress. The show isn't until the end of August, but you can vote here. Mark my words, teens love Jessica, but she may have to lose to Seacrest in the Hissy Fit category.

ESPY Awards Bring Athletes to Hollywood

PopSugar — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 00:24:49 -0700

Last night athletes and actors came together for the ESPY Awards in LA but we won't get to watch the show until it airs on ESPN this Sunday. That doesn't mean we can't enjoy all the fabulous images of the fittest celebs from the event. Shaquille O'Neal who is currently working on his Big Challenge, came with his petite wife. I guess anyone looks tiny next to the big man. Co-host LeBron James looked flashy on the red carpet but once inside he shared the spotlight with Jimmy Kimmel. Brunette actresses Carmen Electra and Jamie-Lynn Sigler looked great while Kate Walsh was SO gold it makes me want to squint my eyes. Ashley Judd looked beautiful on the arm of her Indy 500 winning hubby Dario Franchitti. Andy Roddick has seen better days. Period. Even Indy race driver Danica Patrick got into the Hollywood spirit. Do you like her glam look ?

Lots of other people were there like The Rock, Christian Slater, Dane Cook, Regina King, Samuel L Jackson, Serena Williams and more so read more

An ESPY-cially Fun Awards Show

PopSugar — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 12:41:03 -0700

Hollywood got a whole lot more athletic at last night's ESPY Awards, and the fun and glamor certainly didn't stop at the red carpet. Jimmy Kimmel and LeBron James hosted the evening, while the stage held court for some interesting pairings - Carmen and Shaun White? Josh Duhamel and Maria Sharapova? Actually kinda hot. The San Diego Chargers' LaDainian Tomlinson and University of Arizona Softball's Taryn Mowatt took home the Male and Female Athletes of the year. It's always fun to see our favorite athletes off the field in into some fancy wear, right?

The show doesn't air on ESPN until Sunday, but check out a full list of winners here. To see more pics from the show including Winner of Best Male Athlete, LaDainian Tomlinson, Serena Williams, Regina King, TI, James Blake, Amanda Beard, Vince Young and lots, lots more just read more

The Men in Jennifer Hudson's Life

PopSugar — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 14:38:04 -0800

Remember when Dreamgirls was known as that movie with Beyonce? Well the tide has definitely turned as Jennifer Hudson has risen to stardom. As the Oscars rapidly approach, the buzz surrounding her is louder than ever. In Life magazine, Jennifer talks about her challenging rise to fame and the men who helped her along the way. Here are highlights:

It was while watching an episode of the '90s Will Smith sitcom that she first heard "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going," Dreamgirls’ signature song. "Will was lip-synching to it, and I was like, 'Who is that singing? I have to sing that song.' I never would have guessed. . . ."

"My boyfriend, James [Peyton, who is 27], and I have been together since 1999, so he watched me struggle to get here. There were some dark times when I'd say, 'I can't sing anymore. I'm not right for this.' He'd say, 'Jennifer, there's no way you're not singing. Keep it up, girl, keep it up.' "

"[After filming, costar] Jamie Foxx would call me every Sunday and say 'I’ve been down the same road you’re going down.' And I’d say, 'Me? No way.' And he’d say, 'Yeah, you’re gonna be there-the Golden Globes, the Oscars.' It’s so great to have somebody to lean on when things are changing so fast. He's my lifesaver."

Hmm. I must've missed that episode of Fresh Prince. We're glad that Jennifer has such great men to stand behind her and it looks like she may have a golden man standing on her mantel soon too. For more pics from Jennifer's photo shoot, just read more
