Kristin Is Team Jacob and a Comeback Queen

Molly — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 07:00:08 -0800

Kristin Cavallari showed off her love for Team Jacob with her water bottle as she stopped off at the Trina Turk boutique to shop with a friend in LA yesterday - get her look here. She's at odds with Team Edward member Ashley Tisdale as Hollywood divides along those very important party lines. New Moon is out now, so perhaps she'll be among the many fans who make it a big opening weekend for the movie. Kristin had her own success to celebrate this week when she was named Comeback of the Year on Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood List.

Happy Hour: Twilight

partysugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:13:04 -0800

Well, folks, the moment everyone's been waiting for is here. The second movie in the Twilight series, New Moon, finally comes out today. Whether you're dying to see it or excited that the hype surrounding it will die down, there's only one way to celebrate - with a cocktail! Not just any boring old drink, but an aptly named concoction created by one of San Francisco's illustrious bar owners, Jon Gasparini. A couple of weeks ago when Jon (of one of my favorite bars, Rye) tweeted about a new cocktail called Twilight, I knew I needed the recipe.

Jon describes it as having a beautiful color and balance, and I couldn't agree more. The complex gin and Prosecco drink is easy to put together and elegant enough to serve at a Thanksgiving dinner or holiday soirée. To get his recipe, read more.

Twilight
From Jon Gasparini of Rye

Ingredients

3/4 ounce creme de violette
1 1/2 ounces gin
dash orange bitters
dash simple syrup or agave syrup
1 ounce Prosecco or other sparkling wine

Directions

Combine the violette, gin, bitters, and sweetener in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Strain into a chilled Champagne coup and top with the Prosecco.

Makes 1 drink.

Meet Dr. Zizmor, If You Haven't Already

BellaSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:00:59 -0800

If you're a New Yorker, then you must be familiar with Dr. Jonathan Zizmor, the board-certified dermatologist. For three decades, he's been advertising his skin-saving services in a series of shiny, cheery subway ads. Of course, it hasn't all been rainbows for Dr. Z - his license was suspended for three years. He's back in business, though, and his advertising is just as trippy as ever:

Seeing this commercial wouldn't push me to make an appointment, but clearly his advertising has paid off. Celebrity dermatologists like Dr. Brandt and Dr. Gross might draw the A-list names, but there's hardly a New Yorker who doesn't know of Dr. Z. Would seeing his ad make you pick up the phone, or are you wary of doctors who advertise their services?

Buzz In: What Show Would You Like to Guest Star On?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:30:00 -0800

'Tis the season of guest appearances, and tonight Modern Family gets in on the action with a double whammy - both Elizabeth Banks and Edward Norton will make cameos. These days, an appearance by a celebrity is par for the course; just trying to count all the talented names to hit 30 Rock alone is enough to hurt my brain.

I know we're not exactly A-listers, but let's pretend for a moment that we are. Which show would you want to make a special appearance on? It would be amazing to have a memorable moment on The Office, or get to spend some time singing and dancing with the cast of Glee. One thing's for sure - General Hospital wouldn't be at the top of my list (sorry, James). I know it's a tough decision, but what show would you like to guest star on?
