Lily Wigs Out and Takes Another Tumble on Stage

PopSugarUK — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:34:28 -0800

Lily Allen performed barefoot last night at Manchester Apollo after tripping on stage in her high heels. The accident follows hot on the heels of Lily's tumble down the stairs during the Children in Need concert last week. Having stuck with her own hair and a monochrome outfit at her gig in Sheffield the night before, Lily wore a red Preen bandage dress and a two-tone wig for her concert in Manchester yesterday. Let's hope the rest of her tour goes without a hitch.

PopSugarUK — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:03:05 -0800

Kristen Stewart kept her hair curly - do you love it or hate it? - but changed out of her gorgeous dress and into a white t-shirt and leather jacket for the after party following the LA premiere of New Moon last night. Although she didn't pose with Robert Pattinson on the red carpet, she was happy to cuddle up to him at the after party, and the are-they-aren't-they couple looked so cute as they smiled alongside Taylor Lautner. Both Rob and Taylor had fans lining the red carpet as the Team Edward Team Jacob competition continues: check out our special edition of PopSugar Rush all about the hottest rivalry of the moment.

Shirtless Beckham Copies Cruz's Hair As Galaxy Progresses

PopSugarUK — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 06:01:58 -0800

David Beckham had another sport-filled weekend, taking Cruz and Romeo to watch Nashville Predators v. Los Angeles Kings at the Staples Center on Saturday, and then taking to the pitch on Sunday to help the Galaxy beat Chivas USA 1-0 in their MLS Western Conference semi-final match. David showed off his new haircut, which is similar to Cruz's cool 'do, and then showed off his torso as he stripped shirtless at the end of the game. As the Galaxy are through to the cup final on Friday, David will have to miss England's friendly against Brazil. He'll be back playing in Europe in 2010 thanks to his AC Milan deal, and he's said the loan won't anger his Galaxy teammates: check out a video of David's interview after the jump.

Mom-Me Time: Pick Up a Copy of The Help

babysugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:30:49 -0800

If mama's got a few minutes to herself and is looking for something that will take her mind to another world, she needs not look further than this gold and purple hardback book. The Help ($12) is a quick read that will steal her attention and her affection and leave her wanting more. Kathryn Stockett's first novel, the book about the relationships between mothers and the women that help them (nannies in particular) will have mommy laughing out loud, tearing up in the eyes, dog-earring pages with special passages and thinking about how she relates to some of the closest people in her life.

Just pages into the lengthy text and I was hooked. Unlike any book I've read in recent times, the characters in these pages immediately come to life and fully color the imagination. You can picture their hair, dream up their clothes and hear their voices like they're sitting on the bus right next to you. While they may be fictional muses, I wish I could meet them, thank them, reprimand them and have a tall glass of sweetened iced tea with them. Though the book is set back in the early '60s, some of the conversations and lessons are timeless. For the rest of my review, read more.

Centered around the lives of three caretakers, the hired "help" who tend to high society's children may occasionally be called "mama" as they often forge a closer bond with the child than his own mother. And while some women may have their best friends to rely on, the housekeeper frequently knows and cares more than her "best" friends -the phrase "dirty laundry" having a double meaning when it comes to life behind closed doors. In the end, it is a story about women taking extraordinary measures to right some wrongs, even if it means risking it all. Of all the lessons to be learned from this rich novel, the golden rule speaks loudest - "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Maybe that's why she wrapped it in a glowing cover.

Before this goes to the theaters, which it surely will, buy it, read it and gift it to everyone you know. It will not disappoint.

Victoria Beckham Reveals Solo Career Was a Mistake

PopSugarUK — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:43:07 -0800

Victoria Beckham posed in lingerie for Harper's Bazaar's special double cover December issue. While she was showing off her more relaxed curls at a basketball match with the family at the weekend, Victoria wears her hair in a tight top knot hairstyle for the 16 page spread by Alexi Lubomirski. FabUK has the lowdown on what Victoria said about her customers and her nerves and I've got extracts from her interview about her solo career, her future, Emma Watson, her exercise regime and the importance of positive thinking. Here are the highlights:

On her solo career: "People never believed the solo singing career, and it wasn’t the real me – I was a little bit lost at the time. I don’t mind making mistakes. I just can’t live with anyone else’s mistakes. I’m a complete control freak. I’m not the easiest person to work with because I’m so passionate and being a working mum, it’s a balancing act."
On her future as a fashion designer: "I just want to learn as much as I can. I was always pushed into the theatre and dance – it’s just taken me a long time to figure out what I wanted to do."
On why Emma Watson caught her eye: "So sweet, so true to herself…. There are so many young girls wearing too much make-up, too much hairspray – I find that very dated."
On positive thinking: "If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will."
On why her exercise regime is so important: "I didn’t want to rely on retouching …. I wanted to look at those pictures in 20 years’ time and say, 'Wow, look – after three kids – I didn’t look bad.'"

To read what other designers had to say about Victoria, just read more.

Roberto Cavalli on Victoria: "It’s difficult to create fashion, you can’t just learn it, you have to have fashion in your DNA, and she has it."
Antonio Berardi on Victoria: "Women tend to be a lot more practical than male designers, because they know exactly what works for them, but at the same time, she’s different to other female designers because there’s this extreme sense of feminity to what she does – fantasy and reality at the same time."
Manolo Blahnik on Victoria: "She’s a creature of today, a total artefact of today. She knows what women want. Her things have created an incredible stir, and in recessionary times, this is so fabulous."

Great praise indeed! You can read the full interview in the December issue of Harper's Bazaar, on sale Thursday 5 November.

How-To: Rachel McAdams's Twisty Waves

BellaSugar — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 14:00:54 -0700

I want to know Rachel McAdams's secrets for coolness. Not only does she convey a modern vintage style in her look, but she seems to have an approachable, down-to-earth personality. Plus, I love that she isn't afraid to try new things, like this old-school teased coiffure, and some seriously punky pink hair.

This morning while filming scenes for her upcoming movie, Morning Glory, the actress wore her hair in loose waves with casual twists on the sides, showing off those multidimensional gold-toned locks. It's a perfect substitute for your typical braid-on-the-side style.
