New Music: Norah Jones's "Light as a Feather"

BuzzSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:30:00 -0800

It's been seven years since Norah Jones burst onto the music scene with her debut album and mega-hit "Don't Know Why," and the talented chanteuse has continued to make beautiful, jazzy music (and one movie, which we'll just forget about) ever since.

Her latest album is The Fall, which comes out Nov. 17, and I'm already entranced by the soft, haunting "Light as a Feather." It's not just Jones's smoky voice that makes it worth listening to; it was co-written by alt-country icon Ryan Adams. To hear the song for yourself, just read more.

Seven Ways to Wear a Wavy Pixie Cut

BellaSugar — Tue, 05 May 2009 08:00:50 -0700

I can't get enough of Audrey Tautou's wavy pixie. It has the perfect vintage vibe with a fresh, modern appeal. To duplicate this forever-in-style look, apply a texturizing gel or a curl activating spray to damp hair and let air dry. If your hair is short, touch up pieces with a curling iron for a polished yet effortlessly tousled look. If your hair is longer, create a "fake-out" style by pulling your hair back into a tucked-under ponytail, then curl face-framing sections to shorten. Check out my slideshow for some inspiration on re-creating this gamine style for different hair types. Source

Love It or Hate It? Norah Jones Goes Short

BellaSugar — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 06:00:29 -0700

Last night, Norah Jones showed off her new cropped cut while leaving Letterman. Just like Katie Holmes, she's gone for a serious trim. I love this trend of women going short - it's so chic. Think it works for Norah?

Norah Jones Does Glam and Casual

PopSugarUK — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 04:00:00 -0700

Norah Jones has been a busy bee promoting the film and CD release of My Blueberry Nights in New York. The singer and now actress looked great sporting the natural look and casual clothes as she arrived for the Late Show with David Letterman. She then got glamourous with smoky eyes and an LBD for the screening of her film at the Tribeca Grand. For once we're ahead of the game in the UK - My Blueberry Nights was released back in February here, but is out in the States tomorrow. Reminds me of another certain film. Heh. Speaking about her kiss with co-star Jude Law, Norah said:

"He was fabulous. That's it! ... He's great to work with. He's really just a nice guy. He's fun, and in between takes he tells jokes. He made me feel very comfortable at a time when I was very unsure of myself, because the first scenes were with him."

Sienna Miller may not be interested any more, but I wouldn't pass up the chance to test out Jude's fabulous skills! To see the other great women at the film screening, including Susan Sarandon, Agyness Deyn and Chloe Sevigny, check out our gallery.

Hear What's on Natalie Portman's Playlist

BuzzSugar — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 08:30:00 -0700

I've always assumed Natalie Portman has good taste in music - simply because of her Shins-loving character in Garden State, I'm sure. But it turns out the actress really does know her stuff. Portman rounded up a pretty great set of collaborators for her new charity compilation, Big Change: Songs for FINCA, including M. Ward, Portman's My Blueberry Nights co-star Norah Jones, and - yup - The Shins.

The 16-song album, which is available exclusively through the iTunes Music Store for $7.99, benefits FINCA, an anti-poverty organization that provides financial services to low-income entrepreneurs around the world. (Portman serves as the group's "ambassador of hope.") Most of the songs are also available separately.

Among the songs I can't wait to check out: a remix of the Shins' "Australia" by the Bjorn of Peter, Bjorn and John; the intriguingly titled "My Night with the Prostitute from Marseille" by Beirut (which Portman apparently almost sang on); and the exclusive M. Ward track "What is a Soul?" To see the complete track listing, just read more

1. Tokyo Police Club, "Be Good"
2. Beirut, "My Night With the Prostitute From Marseille"
3. Tom Brosseau, "Plaid Lined Jacket"
4. Curumin, "Tudo Bem Malandro"
5. The Shins, "Australia (Bjorn Yttling Mix)"
6. Brett Dennen, "Ain't No Reason"
7. Sean Hayes, "Turnaroundturnmeon"
8. Thee More Shallows, "Oh Yes, Another Mother"
9. Angus & Julia Stone, "The Beast"
10. Antony & the Johnsons, "Paddy's Gone"
11. Vetiver, "Idle Ties"
12. Norah Jones, "Broken"
13. Devendra Banhart, "There's Always Something Happening"
14. M. Ward, "What Is a Soul?"
15. Wooden Wand, "Forgiveness Figg (Bethany Hotel Blues)"
16. Rogue Wave, "How We Landed"

First Look: My Blueberry Nights

BuzzSugar — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 11:15:44 -0700

Not only does France have a definite release date for My Blueberry Nights, but there's also a full-length trailer for the film with French subtitles. So far, there's no U.S. release date scheduled. What's up with that?

My Blueberry Nights stars Jude Law, Rachel Weisz, Natalie Portman and Norah Jones in Jones' first big feature-film role. The film screened at Cannes to mixed reviews. Most critics said director Wong Kar Wai did a stunningly beautiful job visually with his first English-language project, but that otherwise the movie lags. Jones plays a young woman who "takes a soul-searching journey across America to resolve her questions about love while encountering a series of offbeat characters along the way." If nothing else, the trailer features Cat Power's lovely voice crooning in the background, so to check it out, read more
