Elmo and De Niro in Casino?

GiggleSugar — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 10:14:00 -0700

We know that Elmo isn't the angel he pretends to be. He can be something of a psychopath, which makes perfect sense after you look at him in this audition for the Martin Scorcese mob movie Casino. His part? Conniving wackadoodle Joe "Am I a clown? Am I here to make you laugh?!" Pesci's character of course.

Kate Moss Shows off the Latest Fashion Accessory

FabSugarUK — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 07:00:45 -0700

Earlier in the week supermodel Kate Moss was spotted out with her friend and business partner Sir Philip Green. The pair had a wild night out at Aspinall's casino with Moss leaving with what appeared to be a rather large wedge of cash.

Moss has also taken to wearing rather a lot of fur lately. She was wearing a black fur cape whilst out with Jamie Hince in Paris and is seen here with a brown fur stoll. This seems to be a growing trend following the appearance of fur on a lot of the Autumn catwalks at Paris Fashion Week.

How do you feel about Moss wearing fur?

Killer Apps: Clams Casino

partysugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:00:38 -0800

Although appetizers aren't the first thing that come to mind when one thinks of Thanksgiving dinner, I like to give my family something to nibble on while they wait for the big meal. Usually I serve a luxurious bite like crab cakes or baked brie with mushrooms. This year, I'm offering a classic seafood crowd-pleaser, clams casino.

Even my mom, who's not into clams, enjoys these savory, finger-licking-good, bacon-and-shallot-topped clams. They can be assembled in the morning and baked later, making them ideal for an event like Thanksgiving. These delicious clams are also an excellent addition to a cocktail party menu, so bookmark the recipe now

If Casinos Stop Offering Free Drinks, Would You Still Go?

YumSugar — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:03:51 -0700

I'm not much of a gambler, but I must admit, part of the lure of the casino is the ladies and gents handing out free drinks and meals. It's not a true casino experience if you don't have a free drink in hand. Yet, this may end for the folks - and tourists - in Atlantic City. Due to the current economic slowdown, many of AC's 11 gambling halls are considering cutting back on freebies. Last year the casinos spent $1.63 billion giving away free stuff, a 2.4 percent decline from the year before. And with fewer folks headed out to gamble, the amount they spend may decrease even more. This means no free martinis, no free buffet breakfast, and no more perks.

So tell me, when you go out to a casino, do you expect free drinks? And when you do go, what do you order? I usually keep it simple with a vodka tonic, but some folks go crazy and order complicated drinks. How about you? What do you order at a casino?

Casino Royale Breaks Bond Record

PopSugar — Wed, 27 Dec 2006 16:03:05 -0800

Many Bond fans scoffed when Daniel Craig was cast as the first blonde Bond, but the negative press didn't keep anyone away from the theaters. Casino Royale has just become the most successful James Bond film ever. It's already made $454 million at the box office! The record was previously held by Die Another Die in 2002 which starred Pierce Brosnan and made $431 million. Looks like Daniel Craig will be playing 007 for quite awhile to come!

Picture Perfect Tech: Phone From Casino Royale

GeekSugar — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 00:01:17 -0700

Sony Ericsson's special silver and black versions of the K800 and K790 Cyber-shot camera phone took center screen in Casino Royale and if it means being one step closer to Bond man Daniel Craig I don't know how anyone could resist them.

The exclusive camera phones, which were available for a limited period of three months, are highly capable mobile phones that also provide a 3.2 Megapixel camera with Autofocus, Xenon Flash for lowlight conditions and BestPic, which allows the user to take nine pictures of a moving object simultaneously and choose to keep the best shot. It also allows high speed 3G data transfer then allows the user to share images easily and instantly so you can share them with friends, colleagues - or even MI6 – as you take their picture.

Since releasing the first model, Sony Ericsson has come out with newer versions of the phone so if you really want one you still have a chance. For an up-close look at the phone read more

Since we can't get enough of the Royals these days, it looks like Prince William is back on the market. - TMZ
Ellen Barkin threw a glass of water in the face of ex-husband billionaire Ron Perelman at a restaurant on Wednesday night. I guess that $21 million she made by selling off all the jewelry he gave her didn't make her feel any better. - Page Six
Brandon Routh is set to reprise his role as the man of steel in the Superman sequel. Hopefully he will reprise his cute Superman suit as well. - E! Online
Peter Gabriel received the Man of Peace award Friday for his human rights work. Celebrity do-gooding is so hot right now. - AP

Ben Takes the Town While His Girls Have Fun in the City

PopSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:00:28 -0800

Violet Affleck was full of energy after another day of school in LA yesterday. Mom Jennifer Garner was right behind, with her hands full of Violet's many accessories. Later in the afternoon, Jen was off taking care of some business while Violet and Seraphina took a walk with their nanny. Violet was still looking enthusiastic, as she kept pace alongside Seraphina.

Ben, meanwhile, was still hard at work on The Town in Boston. He had Jon Hamm and Rebecca Hall for company, though, as they spent the afternoon filming around the city's financial district. Ben and his cast are back in Massachusetts after a recent trip to Connecticut, where they shot gambling scenes at the Mohegan Sun casino.

To see more of the girls and The Town, just read more.

Top Chef Vegas: Episode 11

partysugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:00:55 -0800

After a brief hiatus with last week's Fabio-hosted reunion dinner, we went back to Vegas - and into Padma's hotel room - for this week's episode of Top Chef.

The final six chefs started things off by cooking breakfast in bed for their fearless hostess and her celebrity chef friend Nigella Lawson. For the elimination challenge, each contestant created a dish for a party, drawing inspiration from different casinos on the strip. Who was playing to win? Let's talk about it when you read more.

I love how Nigella said Eli's dish "would be" good hangover food - you know, in theory. Whose quickfire dish would you want to eat if you were hungover?
How did you feel about Nigella as a guest judge?
What casino do you think would be hardest to base a dish around?
Kevin's dish looked great, but can anyone explain what it had to do with the Mirage?
Why do you think Jennifer has seemingly lost so much of her confidence?
With all the focus on Bryan's son and family life, did you think he might get kicked off?
Isn't it odd that the remaining guys are sharing a room? Shouldn't they be able to spread out by now?
What was up with the wind in that party venue?
Are buffalo wings something you associate with New York City? What iconic NYC food would you riff on in Michael's position?
How do you feel about who won and lost?
