Kate, Nicole and Eva Share the Spotlight With CNN's Heroes

PopSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:45:00 -0800

Anderson Cooper was the man of the evening on Saturday as he hosted the annual CNN Heroes Awards. The ceremony honored ten individuals who go above and beyond with their contribution to the world, and each was introduced to the crowd by a celebrity guest. Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, and Eva Mendes were a few of the ladies on hand to do the honors, while Carrie Underwood performed. The evening's biggest award, CNN's Hero of the Year, went to Efren Peñaflorida because of his efforts to bring education to underprivileged children in the Philippines. Kate and Nicole took the evening off from promoting Nine, though they were both out again last night for the American Music Awards. The ladies were joined by other actors like Neil Patrick Harris and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and we'll be able to see the whole show when it airs Thanksgiving evening.

Ellen, Rainn, and Liv Make For a Super Trio

BuzzSugar — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 10:30:51 -0700

Rainn Wilson is about to step out of The Office and into comic book territory. In the upcoming comedy Super, Wilson will play an average Joe who pretends to be a superhero to win his wife (Liv Tyler) back from a drug dealer. Calling himself Crimson Bolt, Wilson's character uses a wrench to make up for what he lacks in powers.

The film will be written and directed by James Gunn, whose previous credits include the Scooby Doo movies and Slither. We'll have to wait to hear more about Ellen Page's role, but as a Juno fan, I can't wait to see her team up with Wilson again. Wilson also seems like the perfect choice as a lovable loser, though I kinda hope he stays more on the side of regular guy rather than Dwight Shrute with a cape and a weapon. Yikes.

The Office Rundown: Episode 28, "Company Picnic"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 15 May 2009 11:30:29 -0700

Aw, you guys, for a comedy, this season finale of The Office is pretty darn sweet! Jim and Pam traditionally have big moments in Office finales, but there's another love story at play here when Holly Flax - and boyfriend AJ - meet up with Michael at the company picnic. There's also volleyball and "soup snakes." Want to see some of my favorite moments? Just read more.

Eeep! Pam's pregnant! I mean, we didn't actually hear the words - isn't it funny that Jim and Pam's biggest moments this season have been silent? - but her smiley reaction totally gives it away. I love the bug-eyed look on Jim's face, and then the joy as he swoops in for a hug.
Backing up: Pam and Jim only plan to stay at the Dunder Mifflin company picnic for a few minutes because they don't seem to have much luck at big office gatherings. Some drunk guy hit on Pam last year and said he was grabbing her for balance. Pam: "You don't grab these for balance." I love the mischievous look on Jim's face.
Dwight shows up at the picnic with his friend Rolf, who's the perfect companion for him. Dwight says they met at a shoe store: "I heard him asking for a shoe that could increase his speed and not leave any tracks."
Aw, the moment when Michael first sees Holly is so adorably awkward. He and Holly hug a little too long, then he pretends not to remember AJ, then when AJ asks for an iced tea he semi-jokingly tells him to go to hell. All episode long, he manages to just barely tolerate AJ: "So, what is up with you two, Holly?"

Michael's planning on finding the perfect moment to read through his list of bullet points for why he and Holly should be together, which includes the fact that they're "soup snakes." Which is apparently supposed to be "soul mates."
Charles is still so mean to Jim! And he only has one joke, about Jim being sleepy. Pam asks if she should beat him up. Jim: "No, I shouldn't have to ask you to do something like that. You should just do it."
Nobody from the Scranton branch is any good at volleyball except for Pam, who's kind of a superstar. Kevin keeps getting hit in the stomach, Ryan's on the phone, but Pam has this killer serve. "Maybe I played a little in junior high. And high school. And a little in college. And went to volleyball camp most Summers." She gets them all the way to the final faceoff against corporate.
Rolf is so mean to Angela, calling her a whore and saying he doesn't hear "cheaters, tramps, or women who break my friend's heart." Eventually, though, Dwight tells him to cut it out - does that mean they're going to reconcile soon?
When AJ tells Michael he and Holly are designing a house, Michael reveals he's designing chair-pants. I love that Holly's heard this idea before!
So Michael and Holly go through a bunch of movie parodies for their skit (Jaws: "Dunder . . . Dunder . . .") before finally settling on Slumdunder Mifflinaire. It's actually going relatively well - no laughs, but hey, Stanley's into it - until they accidentally reveal that the Buffalo branch is closing.
Which, by the way, is completely David Wallace's fault. Why on earth would David Wallace tell Michael any secret company information? He should know better.
Holly and Michael's moment after the skit is so sweet! And it's awfully big of him to just enjoy her company without telling her how he feels about her. "I think that today was just about having today. I think that we are one of those couples with a long story when people ask how we found each other."
One of the funniest moments in that scene, though, was this exchange:

Michael: I guess we shouldn't have mentioned Buffalo."
Holly: "Hindsight."
Michael: "Should have had hindsight."
And, in the end, all of Dwight's stalling tactics on the volleyball court ("How many people need to get hurt before we learn a valuable lesson? One? Two? Three?") are for naught, because there appears to be a Beesly baby on the way!

Wow, I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this finale!

I'm Asking: What Do You Wear to Work on Fridays?

SavvySugar — Fri, 01 May 2009 10:40:16 -0700

Casual Friday is reinstituted at Dunder-Mifflin on last night's episode of The Office, now that Michael is back in charge. Angela hates it because she thinks everyone looks inappropriate, and is especially bent out of shape about Oscar's sandals. Michael's interpretation of casual Friday is a hoodie, t-shirt, and jeans, Pam and Phyllis show up in the same khaki pants and purple plaid shirt, Meredith rocks a skimpy tube dress (with no underwear), and Kelly shows off her street style in overalls, metallic boots, and a hat.

What's your typical work attire on Fridays?

Cute Duo Join Natalie Portman in Indie Drama Hesher

BuzzSugar — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 11:30:33 -0700

To sort of steal a line from Zoolander, this casting news makes me think, "That Joseph Gordon-Levitt is so hot right now." He's currently the talk of the independent film town thanks to the good buzz surrounding his upcoming movie 500 Days of Summer, and he just booked a role in Christopher Nolan's next project. Now, he and Rainn Wilson have signed up for a movie titled Hesher that already has Natalie Portman on board as a star and producer. The Hollywood Reporter classifies this flick as a dramedy, and here's how it describes the plot:

The story centers on a loser twentysomething who invades the life of an awkward 13-year-old who is living with a pill-popping father and grandmother. Gordon-Levitt is playing the title character, a good and bad influence on the boy's life. Wilson is the dad trying to keep his family together after the death of his wife.

Portman plays a supermarket worker the kid falls for.

First of all, I didn't know what a "hesher" was until I looked it up online. I feel so behind the times. Also, I'm with Vulture on this point: "Dwight Schrute popping pills?! So, so wrong." Still, this film sounds cute and totally up my alley. What say you? Are you glad to see Gordon-Levitt booking more roles?

Amy, Will, Aziz, and Rashida Recreate and Celebrate

Molly — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 13:30:11 -0700

NBC's newest comedy, Parks and Recreation, debuted sandwiched between two episodes of The Office last night. Instead of staying home to watch the show's premiere, the stars took their minds off reviews and ratings to party away at My House club in Hollywood. Amy Poehler was hilarious as the heart of the show - she and Will Arnett left baby Archie at home for the night to celebrate. Aziz Anzari is my favorite part of the show already, while Rashida Jones is sweet as ever. Anna Faris has her own movie coming out this weekend, Observe and Report - check out Buzz's review here - but she came to support her fiance Chris Pratt. I'm clearly already on the P and R train, but are you loving it yet?

Do You Make Personal Calls in Your Co-Workers' Presence?

SavvySugar — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 11:30:58 -0700

The Michael Scott Paper Company moved into its 165-square-foot headquarters on last night's episode of The Office, leaving Michael, Pam, and Comeback Ryan without any personal space. With no doors to close for privacy, the three colleagues adopt different corners of the office and have plenty of time to make calls because there's no work to do. Quarters are so close that Pam blatantly hears Micheal tell his mom, "P is being a B," and Ryan tells his friend, "Pam would be a six in New York, but she's a seven because it's Scranton."

I sincerely hope none of you have similar office conditions, but I know square footage doesn't matter much when everyone is sitting so close to each other, anyway. Do you make personal calls in your co-workers' presence? Do your co-workers make them in front of you?

Reese Celebrates Her Birthday With Monster and Aliens

PopSugar — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 05:35:20 -0700

Birthday girl Reese Witherspoon struck a serious pose on the blue carpet Sunday afternoon at the LA premiere of Monsters vs. Aliens. She then got a little sillier doing her best Mr. Spock Vulcan greeting while wearing a sexy, short Rodarte dress, hot off the runway. Costars Kiefer Sutherland, Hugh Laurie, Seth Rogen and Will Arnett with wife Amy Poehler all joined Reese at the event. Paul Rudd, who is also in the film, flashed a big smile, and considering his film, I Love You, Man, came in second at the box office this weekend he has plenty of reasons to be thrilled. Looks like it will be a good month for him.
