Diane Lane to Play the "First Lady" of Horse Racing

BuzzSugar — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 12:30:45 -0700

Move over Seabiscuit, it's Secretariat's time to shine on the big screen. The story of 1973 Triple Crown-winning racehorse Secretariat and his owner, Penny Chenery, is deemed "a real underdog story" and filmmakers have cast Diane Lane to play Chenery, the "first lady of racing" in a movie about the horse. Chenery is "a mother and housewife who knew little about horse racing when she took over her ailing father's farm in Virginia. Around the time that Secretariat established himself as a horse with serious potential, she was pressured to sell him and everything else after her father died and she was hit with a large inheritance tax."

I just adore Diane Lane. She brings elegance and charm to every role she takes on, and I suspect Secretariat will be no different. As a sidenote, did anyone else collect these Breyer horses (pictured above)? This one really is the Secretariat model.

Come Inside the Governors Ball

PopSugar — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 17:00:00 -0800

After the big show in the Kodak Theater, the first stop for many of the attendees was the Governors Ball. Along with attending this year's Oscars via the red carpet and the press room, we were fortunate enough to have a ticket to the fancy affair. While on the inside we watched the celebrities feast on their Wolfgang Puck meal set in the Asian-themed room decor. Celebs made their way through additional television press, which included a lot of singing from the youngest of the Slumdog cast, who were some of the last to arrive. Anne Hathaway continued to make it a family affair posing with her brother. She was being greeted nonstop and barely found any time to eat her meal, which included a three-tiered chocolate dessert with an Oscar on the top. Robert Pattinson and fellow teen heartthrob Zac Efron chatted and toasted with Vanessa Hudgens before heading over to the VF afterparty. There was lots of casual mingling with peers in the ballroom and some took a few smoking breaks on the side. Heidi and Seal continued to make the rounds, but were they your favorite Oscar couple of the night?

Oscars Trend Alert: Sizzling Statement Necklaces

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 13:00:22 -0800

A red carpet without jewelry is like a candy store without, well, candy. Large earrings may be making their mark in the fashion world, but that doesn't mean statement necklaces are over. No, no. In fact, a handful of ladies strutted the red carpet in necklaces that beautifully complemented their gowns and elevated their looks. Amy Adams (in Fred Leighton), Taraji Henson, and Amanda Seyfried's necklaces had the most wow of the night, but Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard also decked their necks out. Source

Oscars Trend Alert: The Many Shades of Red

BellaSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 12:00:21 -0800

What I like most about a red lip is that it doesn't have to be too fussy, as the ladies of the 2009 red carpet prove. Whether it was subtle and matte like Anne Hathaway or bold and raspberry-toned à la Alicia Keys, it just goes to show you that red-toned lipstick is always en vogue. Check out my slideshow to see how these actresses worked just about every shade of red. Source

Jen and John Cozy Up With Fellow Oscar Partiers at VF

PopSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 08:30:30 -0800

Despite rumors that Graydon Carter was scaling things back for this year's Vanity Fair Oscars party, the soiree was as A-List as ever at its new venue the Sunset Towers. Jennifer Aniston could relax after her presenting duties, and when she and John Mayer hit the party, they couldn't keep their hands off each other. The couple cuddled up every chance they got, and he twittered a sweet message about her. Salma Hayek hugged her friend Penelope Cruz to celebrate her Supporting Actress win. Elsewhere, Jessica Alba and Kate Bosworth caught up with presenter Halle Berry to smile for the cameras, while Jake Gyllenhaal shared a moment with Reese Witherspoon.

The fans let loose quite the screams when Kate Winslet, the star of the night, hit the red carpet with her Oscar in hand. Once inside the party she shared it with fellow nominee Meryl Streep just a bit. Madonna had her own party to host with Demi Moore, but she also stopped by VF, where she showed off her toned arms. Apparently even Captain Sully made a surprise appearance at the bash, which may have been smaller than usual but didn't lack in the glamour department.

Blues, Brights and Pales On The Oscars Red Carpet

PopSugarUK — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 02:22:06 -0800

You've seen all the winners, and we all know that the second most important thing on Oscar night is the dresses. There was a beautiful mix of colours on the red carpet last night, with some sticking to muted tones in whites and pale creams, pinks and champagnes like Anne Hathaway, Melissa George, Penelope Cruz, Evan Rachel Wood, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Biel. Once you've checked out the gallery let me know which one's your favourite!

Meanwhile, other celeb ladies went for dramatic darker gowns, like Angelina Jolie, Vanessa Hudgens, Kate Winslet and Queen Latifah, and taking an opposite stance, a handful of actresses shone in brights, like Natalie Portman, Amanda Seyfried, Amy Adams and Alicia Keys. I can't wait to hear what you think, and don't forget to let FabUK know who your best dressed Brit is!

The Ladies Went All Out With Their Gorgeous Gowns

PopSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 00:29:47 -0800

The women wore a variety of colors on the red carpet but one thing was clear on Hollywood's biggest night - they were all glowing. Colors ranged from beautiful blue, which was worn by the lovely Freida Pinto, pretty pink on petite Natalie Portman and ravishing reds as seen on Amy Adams and Heidi Klum. Some looked like princesses in their full gowns like Sarah Jessica Parker and Miley Cyrus. Both wore their very detailed dresses differently but they looked belted and beautiful.

Those that kept away from color still stood out in basic black or light whites. Angelina used her green earrings to capture our attention while Anne Hathaway sparkled in her metallic gown. Anne's dress had plastic sequins, which made it pretty difficult for her to walk into the theater but the dress sparkled with all the lights on her. Jessica Biel went for a dramatic bow while Penelope marked her special night with a vintage gown that was over 60 years old. Kate Winslet looked classic as well as Meryl Streep who was mobbed by the Slumdog kids - who were so excited to ask her for an autograph. It was one of the highlights from the red carpet, along with updo wearing Kate Winslet and Penelope Cruz being the last of the ladies to head into the theater arm in arm.

There are tons of more photos of all the ladies at the Oscars, so be sure to read more.

2009 Oscars: Diane Lane

BellaSugar — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 18:30:00 -0800

Diane Lane, an accomplished actress in her own right, walked the red carpet in support of her husband Josh Brolin, who is nominated tonight for his performance in Milk. No shrinking violet, Diane stood out on her own thanks to her strapless black dress, beautiful costume necklace, and overall hair-and-makeup look. Her wavy curls were put up, which placed the focus on her face. Overall, it was all about long lashes, a strong lip, and a pink tint on the cheeks and eyes. Simple (but likely expensive) earrings round out the look. What do you think of Diane's Oscar style?

Charlize, Josh and Diane Come to Each Other's Aid

Molly — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 07:03:10 -0800

Charlize Theron joined forces with Diane Lane and Josh Brolin in LA on Thursday night for the launch of the BRANDAID Foundation, which will send money to support Haitian artists. Current Oscar nominee Josh struck a few poses with past winner Charlize, while two of the Best Supporting Actress Nominees, Taraji P. Henson and Marisa Tomei, posed for photos and made their way around the room. We're sure to see lots more of Marisa, Taraji and Josh as the weekend's award festivities continue, but hopefully Charlize will also show up on another red carpet in one of her signature knockout gowns.
