London and Rome Host Film Stars Including Honest George

PopSugarUK — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:58:33 -0700

Several actors walked the red carpet this weekend at the London Film Festival and Rome Film Festival. Nicholas Hoult, Tom Ford, Colin Firth and Matthew Goode looked handsome in their suits at the premiere for A Single Man in London, and the capital also saw the premiere of Viggo Mortensen's The Road. Helen Mirren was in Rome for the The Last Station, and Terry Gilliam and Lily Cole were also in Italy for The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus premiere. Director Jason Reitman was in London for the premiere of Up in the Air on Sunday, having joined George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis for the Rome premiere the night before! As part of his promotion for his films, George has opened up about his relationships and growing old:

On relationships: "I’ve had some absolutely great relationships and some not so great relationships. I’ve been in some relationships where I’ve felt terribly alone. Just because you’re with someone it doesn’t mean you’re incredibly happy and complete. I’ve had some easy and natural, made-sense breakups as well as some rough ones. I deal with them the same way we all do: I’m successful with some and not so successful with others."
On getting older: "I’m kind of comfortable with getting older because it’s better than the other option, which is being dead. So I’ll take getting older. It’s an interesting thing to be able to watch yourself grow older on screen. I was watching Up In The Air and I thought, ‘Jesus, who’s the old, grey-haired guy?’ And it was me."

George also revealed he played a prank on Matt Damon to make his pal think he was gaining weight, and is working on a prank for his next victim Brad Pitt!

Rachel McAdams joined Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law on the Sherlock Holmes set this week, adding a little femininity to Guy Ritchie's set as love interest Irene Adler. Jude's one of the actors in my fun Best Of 2008 poll about facial hair, check out his competition and vote if you haven't! The movie is still being filmed in London at the moment, with the cast wrapping up warm over their costumes to keep out the bitter cold that's taken over the capital lately. Robert has had to suffer for his art, after a punch thrown by a wrestler as part of the movie landed and he was knocked out cold! Robert was taken to hospital and apparently had to have stitches in his mouth, lets hope they're all healed before "action" is called on any kissing scenes with Rachel!

Would You Wish Your Daughter Goddess Status?

babysugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:00:00 -0700

It is natural for a parent to want the best for their child. For Nepali father Pratap Man Shakya, that means sending his 3-year-old daughter away to the country's capital of Katmandu to be worshiped as the Hindu goddess Taleju. There she will be worshiped until she reaches puberty, at which point she will return to her normal life back home.

After performing various ancient ceremonies and testing the physical traits of numerous girls, a panel of judges chose Matani Shakya to be the next kumari, or living goddess. Picked for her perfect teeth, eyes, hair, and flawless skin, the youngster must also not be afraid of the dark. Once she met that criteria, she had to fearlessly spend one solo ritualistic night in a room full of slaughtered goats and buffalo heads. A pretty astonishing feat for such a tiny tot.

Would you be willing to give your child up for such a cause if it required her spending the remainder of her childhood away from you?

Manchester In Fashion 2008

FabSugarUK — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 06:00:10 -0700

This weekend I'm on the move to check out the fashion on offer in the capital of the North, Manchester. Having been to Manchester before I'm already aware how good the shopping is here. There's a Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and a big Louis Vuitton store but this weekend I wanted to find out what else is on offer. Much like London Fashion Weekend, Manchester in Fashion offers the best of the city's fashion at a discounted rate.

The launch took place last night as the champagne flowed at Urbis (which the taxi driver accurately described as "looking like concorde"). As well as stalls there is a catwalk show presenting a pick of the best items available to buy now from stores such as House of Fraser, Selfridges and Warehouse.

To find out more about the show including celebrity appearances read more.

I caught the first presentation last night which was divided in to the key Autumn trends; Tartan, Folk Boho, Androgynous, Gothic and Directional. Designer pieces by Prada, JC de Castelbajac, D&G and Jonathan Saunders were included in the show.

The launch show closed with Vicky Binns (from Coronation Street) guest modeling in a burlesque inspired dress. Carley Stenson (Steph from Hollyoaks) was also there performing with in a glittery top with her girlband Diamond.

The event continues until Sunday so if you're in the area I would definitely recommend checking it out. You have to pay to get in with tickets ranging from £5. There will also be hair and beauty demonstrations in amongst the stalls offering treatments such as manicures and blow dries.

Bella Quiz: Vintage Hairdo or Old School Dance Craze?

BellaSugar — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 08:00:22 -0700

There was a time when both hairstyles and dances had names - real names, names that got capitalized. And while we may have "Lean Back" and the "faux hawk" now, it's not the same as wearing your Croydon Facelift to go dance the Hully Gully (ok, different decades, but you get the point). So find out if your hair expertise spans multiple decades by taking our latest this or that quiz.
