Open House: How Are You Celebrating Halloween?

CasaSugar — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 05:30:51 -0700

Whether you've been planning your costume or party for months, or are stuck for last-minute ideas, you should definitely get out there and celebrate tonight! At my house, we'll be waiting on trick-or-treaters (or trying to) and then heading to a friend's party in San Francisco for the evening. I still haven't decided on a costume, but I'm sure I can whip something up at the last minute.

So, what are your plans this evening? Are you taking your kids around for trick-or-treating? Attending a huge costume ball? Heading to a haunted house? Tell me all about it in the comments. Oh, and if you need some low-commitment, last-minute celebration ideas, check out these!

Peter Wants Katie Home While Alex's Mum Lets Rip

PopSugarUK — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:01:15 -0800

Peter Andre was dressed all in black today as he left his house in Hove, having bundled up last night in a cap as he arrived home with Junior and Princess. With Katie Price choosing to quit I'm a Celebrity earlier this week, Pete apparently begged her to come home, but she is reportedly staying in Australia for another two weeks as she is contracted to stay in the country until 5 Dec. It's not only Peter who's fed up with Kate, Alex Reid's mum is furious with her for dumping Alex so publicly. Speaking to The Sun, she said:

"I watched the TV and it seemed very cruel the way she spoke about Alex. He really loved her and gave up a lot for her, and this is how he gets treated by her. I can't get through to him at the moment. All I know is that he is in Australia and his phone is off. He must be upset. I'm worried for him."

There are rumours that Alex and Katie will meet up in Australia, but not until the camera crew arrive so it can be filmed for her ITV2 show. What do you think of the situation?

Celeb Style: Eva Herzigova

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:00:22 -0800

As we approach the holidays, I'm on the lookout for original party looks. Eva's wink may not be up to par, but the slick tuxedo-inspired look she wore to the 2010 Pirelli Calendar cocktail reception in London was beyond Fab. She dressed up her slight harem pants with delicate sandals, a draped white top, and a velvet blazer. Feminine details like a black lace peekaboo bra and radiant art deco earrings are suave touches. A jolt of red satin via her clutch is holiday-tastic.

Drape Front Top - $68.00	Bandeau Lace Bra - $7.00
NEW! Velvet one-button tuxedo jacket - $168.00	Zero + Maria Cornejo Gabi Pants - $250.00
Rouched Satin Fold-Over Clutch - $29.50	rsvp - Casey (Black Satin) - $84.00
Slivertone Link Bracelet Watch - $95.00	Nightcap art deco earring - $42.00

Gwyneth Paltrow was decked out last night to celebrate the opening of London's Dean Street Townhouse, a new restaurant and hotel opened by the Soho House group. It was a rare night out for Gwyneth, who seems to have settled comfortably into her weekday routine with Apple and Moses during their school year. Gwyneth is willing to shake up her schedule when it comes to supporting the efforts of her closest friends, though she'll soon be switching gears in a major way when production on The Danish Girl finally starts.

PopSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:29:44 -0800

Katherine Heigl carried Naleigh on Friday evening as they headed into Katherine's parents' house, where they celebrated her sister Meg's newborn baby. That means a cousin for Naleigh, who's settling into life with the Heigl-Kelleys after her adoption two months ago. The party was also timed perfectly for Naleigh's first birthday today, while Katherine turns 31 tomorrow. Katherine and Naleigh will be getting more quality time soon since the actress's belated maternity leave means another break from Grey's Anatomy.
