Scarlett Is Happy to Get Political in CosmoGirl

PopSugar — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 02:00:00 -0700

Scarlett Johansson got dressed up in red, white and blue for the patriotic cover of November's CosmoGirl. The recently married actress has been a vocal and occasionally controversial Obama supporter, and she chatted with the magazine about her experiences on the campaign trail and what makes her happy. Here's more:

On campaigning at colleges: "It was amazing that these kids are just so well-informed and so interested. There were really obscure questions and debates that they wanted to lead - I couldn’t believe it! And it was amazing how many of these kids turned out. We made the environment friendly. I’m 23, and all of these kids are probably between 16 to 24. They’re my peers. . . we’re all connected by the same issues."
On what makes her happy: "Things that make me happy are being with my friends and family, and also things like a challenge - using my brain, you know? That makes me feel good. When I’m challenged and when I feel like I want to get to the bottom of something, when I’m engaged, that makes me happy. Being engaged in something or bettering myself in some way."

Scarlett's just one of the many celebrities to throw their two cents into the political ring, and while Obama is no longer the main man in her life, she's ready to do what she can to support him before Election Day on November 4th.

Jessica Alba Is Not a CosmoGirl, Not Yet a Woman

Molly — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 06:54:07 -0800

Mom-to-be Jessica Alba looks pretty fresh and young on the cover of February CosmoGIRL, wearing decidedly more natural make-up than her favorite Zac Efron. With promotion for The Eye kicking into high gear we should get ready to see that baby bump of hers not only going to and from the gym every day, but also on the red carpet and making the talk show circuit. But before that, you get to hear her talk about being self-educated and eating right. When she gets to doing more timely interviews, hope you're all excited to hear her gush a lot! That could get tedious, but at least maybe we'll get some answers about when we'll be seeing a wedding.

Ashlee Was Born to Lead Pete Back to Health

PopSugar — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 23:53:21 -0800

Ashlee Simpson went layered winter chic last night at the 2007 CosmoGirl Born to Lead Awards in NYC. Pete was there to support his December cover girl and even brought the rest of his band along for the party. The night before, Ashlee was by his side for his Angels and Kings Karaoke party, where he talked about how she's been helping him with his broken foot. He said, "When I'm being hard-headed and I don't want to elevate it, she says, 'No, put it on the pillow!' When I try to get in the shower by myself and am going to end up falling on the hotel room floor, she's good at stopping me." These two have come a long way in their relationship, we just hope he's as nice to her as she seems to be for him.

Lindsay and Ali Do CosmoGirl

PopSugar — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 23:58:08 -0800

Sister celebrities are making the magazine rounds. First Jessica and Ashlee did a spread in OK and now Lindsay and little sister Ali are opening up in the November issue of CosmoGIRL, as well as gracing the cover. And you can bet LL has lots of advice to give her little sis. “I’m very protective of her,” Lindsay says about her 12-year-old sister.” “I feel like I’m a mother to her in a way. She’s like my child.” Here's more highlights:

On showing Ali the ropes, Lindsay says:

“I think it’s important to let kids live and learn,” Lohan says.
“The more you shelter them from things, which my parents never did, the
more they go out and rebel. I never felt like I had to hide anything.”

And as far as men are concerned, LL says:

“Never take anything too seriously and just kind of go with it day by
day,” adds Lindsay. “And always have a few guys on the side as a
backup.”

Her main advice to Ali is “Life is short. Live fast!” I don't know if that's the best advice to give a twelve year-old, but to each her own. Let's hope though that Ali will wait awhile before keeping a few guys on the side as a backup! For more pics of the piece just read more

Is Your Company Having a Holiday Party This Year?

SavvySugar — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 14:00:17 -0700

The chill in the air can only mean that the holidays are just around the corner, which usually means an invitation for the annual office party would appear in your inbox any day now. Word on the street is that after a rough year that included the termination of CosmoGIRL!, Hearst Corp. has canceled its holiday party, and perhaps its decision is an indication of what other corporations will do about celebrating this year.

I imagine the party scene this holiday season will look much different than what most workers are used to - if not canceled altogether, most company parties will probably be more prudent than in the past.

This Week's Fab Favorite: Monet Mazur

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:00:22 -0700

Sleek, sexy, sophisticated - all words to describe Monet Mazur at The House Bunny CosmoGIRL! special screening in New York. While her Issa of London noir gown doesn't reveal much, it exposes in all the right places. And here's a lesson in accessories. Take a classic dress, add a splash of color (Stella McCartney satin plum clutch) and pile on vintage jewelry, preferably Chanel vintage jewelry. I especially like how she layers the bracelets haphazardly. For added oomph, she wears the studded Steve Madden gladiators that are all the rage. Some high fashion, some low fashion, all fabulous.

Celebrity Style: Katharine McPhee

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 11:00:22 -0700

In a sea of dresses at the The House Bunny CosmoGIRL! special screening, Katharine stood out in her polished, yet easy, black and white pant ensemble. Her white silk Alice + Olivia top with floral appliqué sleeves is sweet but she tempers the look with black trousers. Black platform sandals elevate the wearer, and the sparkling accessories further feminize. There's not a bit of bunny in this pulled-together look.

Alice + Olivia Alice + Olivia Women's Pleated Top with Skinny Black Patent Belt - $178.20	Anne Klein New York Wide Leg Pants - $225.00
Charles by Charles David Slinky Platform Sandal - $104.95	Catherine Michiels Sterling Silver Bead Bracelet - $110.00

Fab Flash: Rachel Bilson, Star in Her Own Campaign

FabSugar — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Judgement time is around the corner and Rachel Bilson's pulling out all the stops to make her first venture as a celebrity designer a success. The Edie Rose for DKNY Jeans campaign will feature the star in her own designs.

"Our customer has a real emotional connection with Rachel, and she's always on the best-dressed lists, so it seemed like such a win-win for us. Rachel has real personal style and she is very involved in every step. You can really see that in the collection" said president of DKNY Jeans, Kevin Monogue.

The photo shoot, which was shot in New York by Mikael Jansson, features Bilson and models Fabienne Vanderhaeghen, Regina Feoktistova, and Giedre Dukaskaite against a edgy NYC backdrop. "She was really hands-on with the entire process. She, with the help of stylist Tabitha Simmons, made the clothes come to life in such a youthful, authentic way, which is so true to Rachel's own personal style - always youthful, but appropriate" said the creative director of the shoot, Trey Laird.

The ad campaign will run in the September and October issues of Teen Vogue and Cosmogirl magazines to coincide with the launch of Edie Rose for DKNY Jeans line in September. Look forward to a trendy sportswear collection consisting of tops, sweaters, jackets, tees, dresses, and jeans to be sold at department stores including Macy's and Dillard's.
