Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 07 May 2012 21:15:18 PDT

Rashida Jones took the feminine route for her Met Gala getup, donning a floral gown by her friend, Tory Burch. The muted watercolor print exudes elegance, while thoughtful details, like the black ribbon belt and subtle off-shoulder straps, give her look an extra-special touch. To finish off, Rashida opted for a feathered clutch and a diamond bracelet, and pulled her hair in a low bun, exposing beautiful oversize earrings. Are you feeling it?

Gwyneth Paltrow shared a laugh with her friend Amanda de Cadenet at a launch party for her new show The Conversation in NYC on Sunday. Diane von Furstenberg played host for the evening, throwing the star-studded bash at her studio. Other celebrity attendees included Diane Kruger, Rashida Jones, and Malin Akerman. Amanda was feted by some of her other A-list friends like Demi Moore and Rachel Zoe at another kickoff event in LA earlier last month.

Amanda has been able to get many of these big names to stop by her show for intimate chats already and TrèsSugar recently talked to her about the project. She says The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet is for "women's women" and she revealed that the area some of her subjects are most wary to talk about is their relationships. In fact, at the soiree when asked if she could interview anyone, who would it be, Gwyneth replied, "My husband. It would be really cool. I'd ask him a bunch of questions."

Sundance Snapshot: Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg Are Adorable in Celeste and Jesse Forever

Becky Kirsch — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:22:56 PST

Celeste and Jesse Forever was one of the first films I checked out at Sundance this year, and I'm so glad I did. The cast, which features Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg as the titular characters, was enough to pique my interest, but the smart, relatable, script is what won me over. Here's more on what I thought of the film.

Who's behind it? The film stars Andy Samberg, Rashida Jones (who also cowrote the screenplay), Ari Graynor, Elijah Wood, and Emma Roberts. It was directed by Lee Toland Krieger.
What's it about? Jones and Samberg are Celeste and Jesse, high school sweethearts who have recently decided to separate. The only problem is that they're still BFF: he's living in her guest house, they're still spending all of their time together, and are still living in their own little world (much to the confusion of their circle of friends). Though it's clear that they're not ready to fully let go of each other, an unexpected circumstance forces them both to confront their feelings and make a final decision about their relationship.
What did I think? This movie made me laugh and broke my heart, thanks to Jones and Samberg's chemistry and performances. There are plenty of amazing jokes and one-liners, but more than that, there's a very real story and commentary about how hard it is to let go of someone you love. Jesse and Celeste are so easy to root for, but the film is careful to keep the story real rather than veering into romantic comedy territory. It's also a breakout role for Samberg, who we've mostly only seen doing straight comedy. He's still a lovable goofball here, but he also proves that he's got the chops to handle more serious material. The film was bought by Sony Pictures Classics, so keep an eye out for it in theaters in the next year.

Emma Roberts, Andy Samberg, and Rashida Jones Bring Celeste and Jesse to Sundance

Molly Goodson — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 08:56:50 PST

The cast of Celeste and Jesse Forever hit the Sundance Film Festival to show off their sweet movie on Friday. It's Rashida Jones's first screenplay, and she also stars alongside Andy Samberg in the project. On the red carpet at their premiere, the two gushed about working together, and Andy joked that if he was tasked with winning back an old love in real life, he'd probably revert to "d*ck in a box" tactics. Emma Roberts plays a pop star in Celeste and Jesse Forever and to get ready for the part she revealed that she channeled a little bit of Christina Aguilera in the "Dirrty" days, Britney Spears, and Ke$ha. We also chatted with Elijah Wood about his part in Celeste and Jesse and what it was like to see the The Hobbit trailer for the first time, which he said was "electrifying." Award season darling and The Descendants star Shaliene Woodley slipped in to see the movie, and later in the evening checked out Wiz Khalifa at the Bing Bar.

Dressed up in a full-skirted metallic-lace frock, Rashida Jones worked the ladylike angle to announce the annual Golden Globes nominations.

Katie Henry — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 12:38:13 PST

The Muppets shut down Hollywood Boulevard in LA yesterday for the world premiere of their new movie. Kermit the Frog was joined by his whole crew - Gonzo, Rolf, Animal, Fozzy, and newcomer Walter - arriving in a Jeep to kick off the green-carpet processional of stars and puppets. Miss Piggy followed closely behind in her own convertible, wearing Jeremy Scott and Louboutins, and blew kisses to the crowd. We talked to Piggy and Kermit about their return to the big screen, and the pair joked that this film brought them closer together.

We also spoke with some of the human stars including Amy Adams and Jason Segel. Jason said it was a dream come true to work with the Muppets and he plans on inviting all of them, including his puppet brother Walter, over for Thanksgiving dinner so they can reenact the landing on Plymouth Rock. Many of Jason's How I Met Your Mother costars also stepped out to support his latest venture including Alyson Hannigan, Josh Radnor, and Neil Patrick Harris, who has a small role in the film. Meanwhile, Amy spoke with us about the importance of making family films and working with the ultimate leading man, Kermit - stay tuned for more of our interviews with the cast in PopSugar Rush!

Rashida Jones Shares Her Biggest Hair Disaster

BellaSugar — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 03:05:07 PDT

It's hard to imagine Rashida Jones having anything other than fabulous hair, but such is not the case. "I had a really gnarly platinum blond, razor cut in college," she says. "I cried for two weeks after I got it." These days, however, Rashida sets trends instead of following them, sporting a softly bobbed look and blunt bangs. And she's a low-maintenance beauty, too: the Dove spokesmodel says she applies the brand's Nourishing Oil Serum to wet hair before blow-drying on the lowest, coolest setting for smooth, shiny results.

Speaking of misbehaved hair, Dove has teamed up with Rashida for its Make Friends With Your Hair contest, inviting entrants to explain how their strands have minds of their own. The winner gets a hair makeover by Dove celebrity stylist Mark Townsend (the guy responsible for Jennifer Lawrence's Oscars blow-out).

Allie Merriam — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 07:01:55 PDT

Charlize Theron, Leighton Meester, Olivia Wilde, and Rashida Jones got decked out in NYC last night to celebrate the launch of the new HTC Rhyme Android smartphone. Leighton wore a dress from UK designer Marios Schwab and Burberry heels while Charlize was decked out in green Chloe. Amid the many girls on the carpet was Leighton's Gossip Girl costar Penn Badgley. Both Leighton and Penn have been logging long hours on the CW series's set, but they were in full party mode yesterday. Charlize, who was recently in London for the GQ men of the year bash, is now in the Big Apple. She wasn't a part of the Emmys Sunday, but she was nonetheless seen during the broadcast. Charlize Theron's new Dior ad finally debuted, and it saw the superstar actress walking through history meeting icons like Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly.
