Molly — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 06:00:00 -0700

It was all about the super sexy LBDs at last night's ball to benefit Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation at Cipriani, Wall Street in NYC. Blake Lively and Bar Refaeli both looked amazing and showed off some leg while in shape new mom Jennifer Hudson opted for matching black tights. Penn Badgley joined Blake for the fancy party after his movie, The Stepfather had a decent opening weekend at the box office. Blake's been especially busy recently traveling between Boston where she's filming Ben Affleck's The Town and her usual gig alongside her boyfriend Penn working on Gossip Girl in New York, but there's still time for red carpets for a good cause.

PopSugarUK — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 05:19:28 -0700

Earlier this week Blake Lively was all wrapped up against the New York chill as she filmed new scenes for the third season of Gossip Girl, but last night she was glammed up for the Angel Ball in the city. Sporting a dress designed by Victoria Beckham - who's said to be making a cameo on the show - Blake was there alongside her boyfriend and costar Penn Badgley. Penn's spoken out about their relationship recently, admitting:

"Having a relationship with someone you work with might not always be the smartest move. But it's been wonderful to be in a relationship where we can both identify with what the other is experiencing."

It certainly seems to be working for them!

Donatella Gets Lindsay and the PYTs to Celebrate Art in NYC

PopSugar — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 11:30:08 -0700

Donatella Versace gathered some friends from the fashion and art worlds in NYC last night for the Whitney Museum Gala. First up was a star-studded dinner, where Taylor Momsen and Mischa Barton mingled with Shakira and Jennifer Hudson. The festivities then moved downstairs for the afterparty, with Lindsay Lohan turning up to make a cameo. We had a quick chat with the newly-minted artistic adviser, who said she was there "for Donatella" - and the duo certainly looked close as they posed for photos. Lindsay said she arrived late for the bash due to her travels, but that she'd be sticking around the city to handle "personal business." LL apparently even opened up later about her rumored hookup with Balthazar Getty, telling Gossip Cop that she'd never do that to Samantha Ronson.

LL managed to avoid any run-ins with Samantha's family as she narrowly avoided Charlotte Ronson. Donatella was truly the woman of the evening as she hung out with Lindsay, Mischa and Shakira and they all checked out a DJ set from Gossip Girl Taylor Momsen.

LilSugar Exclusive: Celebrity Trainer Provides Postpartum Exercise Tips

LilSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:00:28 -0700

Eating for two may sound like fun during pregnancy, but after the baby arrives, the reality of nine months of eating quickly sets in. While 75 percent of LilSugar readers kept track of their weight throughout their pregnancy, the thought of returning to a regular exercise routine is a task few new mamas are ready to tackle. From group exercise classes to at-home videos, there are a variety of methods for shedding baby weight.

Celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak, creator of 5-Factor Fitness and Diet Plan who helped Milla Jovovich lose the 70-plus pounds she gained during pregnancy and is now working with Jennifer Hudson, recently provided us with his take on how to jump-start a postnatal workout routine.

Following a vaginal birth with no severe tearing or complications from gestational diabetes, Pasternak recommends checking with your doctor and beginning this routine:

Start slow. Begin with one 10-minute walk each day. Slowly add a minute a day thereafter until you reach the 30-minute mark.

Add strength training. Once the doctor gives you the green light, begin with only one set per body part. Work your way up with multiple sets and gradually increase resistance and intensity.

Keep it simple. Don't turn to the most difficult machines you used prior to delivery. Stick with simple movements using your own body weight, dumbbells, barbells, or a HarleyBar for some light weight training.

Avoid high-impact movements for a while. The body is still filled with hormones that increase joint laxity, so it is important to monitor your activities.

Try a 5-Factor workout. (1) A cardio warm-up (2) A strength circuit with upper body (3) Lower body (4) Abs (5) Finish up with a cardio cool-down

Do these sound like tips you can put to good use?

Jennifer Hudson Says She's Got a Mini Me on Her Hands

babysugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:30:15 -0700

It looks like David Otunga Jr. may be following his mommy down the yellow brick road and right up to center stage. Though her baby boy isn't even two months old, the star-crooner Jennifer Hudson says he's already displaying a love for music, just like his mama. The talented lady chatted with reporters at the Netflix performance of The Wizard of Oz where she belted out some tunes alongside the Dancing With the Stars gal Julianne Hough. She said:

He seems like he's very interested in music already. The other night he was having a fit screaming, and someone turns on the music and he just stops and calms down. And I was exactly the same way as a baby. . . . Sometimes when he cries, I try to harmonize!

When did you start noticing similarities between your child's and your likings?

Video of Miley on VH1 Divas Red Carpet, Weekend Movie Reviews, & 2009 Emmy Predictions!

PopSugarTV — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 15:59:36 -0700

Paula Abdul, Miley Cyrus, LC, & Whitney Port dazzle their way down the VH1 Divas red carpet, why you should see Matt Damon's new movie but skip Jennifer Aniston's, and check out the world's biggest burger!

VH1 Divas: Miley Calls Kanye Disrespectful, True Blood's Sam Takes on Twilight's Jacob, and Paula Channels Ellen!

PopSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 07:45:00 -0700

The star-studded VH1 Divas kicked off last night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and new diva-inductees like Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks, Miley Cyrus, and Kelly Clarkson walked the red carpet in their glamorous gowns. Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port looked gorgeous and sparkly, and we'll have more on LC's possible LA Candy movie deal later. Miley weighed in on the Taylor/Kanye incident, calling him out as disrespectful. Kelly also had some things to say about it as well as the Paula/Ellen change on American Idol. Sam Trammell, who plays Sam Merlotte on True Blood, also told us he thinks his shape-shifter character could take on Taylor Lautner's Jacob - check out the interviews below!

Paula Abdul opened the night with a surprise performance and jokingly introduced the live show saying "I'm Paula Abdul and this is NOT American Idol." Later in the night she came out dressed as Ellen DeGeneres, dancing across the stage before saying "All kidding aside - [I have] nothing but love for Ellen, and I wish you the best of luck and congratulations on your new gig." There were many performances and duets to enjoy, like Jennifer Hudson and Stevie Wonder, as well as solos by all the divas like Jordin Sparks. Check out our interviews with Miley, Kelly, and Sam after the jump, and stay tuned for more from PopSugar Rush on the night's events!

To read the interviews and see TONS more photos, just read more.

Miley on Taylor/Kanye VMA incident: "I think it's just disrespectful so I think the best thing is - I probably would have done what [Taylor] did and just walk away from it because she looks better than he does."
Sam on Sam Merlotte vs. Jacob Black: "Is he tall? I think he's really tall . . . Oh is that just in the movie? I could probably take him because I could just turn into some huge animal and just take him. Yeah, I could just turn into a big bull and take him."
Kelly on whether she has words of encouragement for Taylor Swift: "I don't think she needs any. She handled it really well and she's just a really sweet girl. I love Taylor and she knows I do. I keep asking her to write me some songs, I love her writing. The whole situation in general was the straw that broke the camel's back. Not only that situation. Unfortunately Kanye was the straw that broke the camel's back. But there's a lot of crappy things that go on in the industry and it's just not right. This is supposed to be fun. We're not scientists, we're not doing anything mind-blowing. We should all be having fun and complimenting each other and lifting each other up. I don't get it."
Kelly on taking stage with Paula, and Paula leaving Idol: "I'm used to that! We've been doing off and on for seven years; we all end up at the same shows. So I'm so used to seeing her everywhere. I don't even know enough about [Paula leaving Idol] but I think she's probably ready. I mean they've done like nine seasons. It's pretty cool she's going off and doing something on her own and right after it she's hosting VH1 Divas. Oh my God, she's performing and I saw rehearsals and it's insane. I'm like a 12-year-old again and singing 'Straight Up.' We're all dying backstage."
