Hollywood Comes Out to Get Lucky in LA

Molly — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 10:00:39 -0700

Lauren Conrad hit the red carpet alongside a bevy of beautiful ladies for the Lucky Magazine and Madewell Fall Denim Tour at the Bar Marmont last night in LA. Hollywood starlets from all over TV and film came out to celebrate the new line of denim, although for most of the atendees, short skirts were the dress code for the evening. Kristen Bell looked like the picture of health in her layered look, while Mandy Moore showed of yet another new hair transformation. Rachel Bilson traded in her casual wellies for worn-in black boots, striking a pose after walking the red carpet. Katie Cassidy joined the rest of the ladies as another new episode of Melrose Place aired - though it's still not as scandalous as 90210.

Katie and the Women of Hollywood Celebrate With Elle

PopSugar — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 08:30:37 -0700

The Elle Women in Hollywood Awards brought out some of the town's biggest names last night. The ceremony was held to coincide with the magazine's similarly themed upcoming issue, and cover girl Katie Holmes hit the cream carpet to show her support. Apparently Suri helped Katie select her all-black outfit, and the proud mom even opened up about their adventures in Boston. Katie commented that, "She loves clothes and picks out her own. . . . She loves running and she loves dancing." Cat Deeley and Robin Wright also opted for dark dresses, while Renee Zellweger, Diane Kruger, and Emily Blunt lightened things up a bit.

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski made another appearance together after their weekend trip to the Mill Valley Film Festival, as the happy engaged couple gets more comfortable stepping out side by side. She said a few words onstage before posing for photos with the evening's host, Alec Baldwin. Renee Zellweger flashed a big smile, perhaps due to her romantic few days in Vancouver with Bradley Cooper. Robin Wright mingled with Benicio del Toro, as the ladies got together to enjoy fun company and champagne.

Elle Pays Tribute to Cover Star Women in Hollywood

PopSugarUK — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 02:11:22 -0700

Elle magazine hosted its annual Women in Hollywood Tribute at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills last night, and gorgeous British women rubbed shoulders with their American counterparts. Cat Deeley kept it classic in an LBD and L'Oreal Paris Legend Award recipient Julie Andrews was elegant in her black floor-length frock. All five November cover stars were in attendance, with Renee Zellweger dazzling in bright red, Emily Blunt cute in a nude number and Katie Holmes daring in a sheer black outfit alongside fellow cover stars Julianne Moore and Zoe Saldana. John Krasinski joined his fiancée to her celebrate, and Emily told Elle:

"I feel the fear of the business creep under my skin in L.A. in a way that it doesn’t in England. It’s funny – I feel like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, unless you’re in Hollywood! It’s shameful how you have to look a certain way. Women are simply not allowed to grow old gracefully. That’s why I love playing character parts, because I’m not pigeonholed into trying to remain young forever to play the ingénue or romantic lead."

My girl FabUK wants to know do you love or hate Emily's look?

Linklater's Next Rom-Com to Include Obama's Inauguration

BuzzSugar — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 11:30:43 -0700

Not one year after the fact, President Obama's inauguration is being incorporated into a romantic comedy to be directed by Richard Linklater. The Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise, and School of Rock director will next helm Liars (A-E), a script written by Emma Forrest (who used to date Colin Farrell). The movie "is a romantic comedy about a woman who, on the way to President Obama's inauguration, retrieves lost items from her ex-boyfriends." Gotta wonder if some of these items are inspired by Farrell. . . .

No casting news on the protagonist, though Kat Dennings is reportedly on board to play the woman's friend. I wonder how Obama's inauguration and/or politics in general will play into the narrative here. Forrest could have chosen any number of events or locations as the protagonist's destination - why the inauguration? I'll be interested to find out.

PopUK's New Release Roundup!

PopSugarUK — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 06:00:00 -0800

It's time to let you know all the new releases that I recommend this week! First up I have a couple of DVDs for you - Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla came out yesterday and I very much enjoyed this fun-filled crime caper. It has some amusing performances in it, especially from Gerard Butler and face to watch Tom Hardy.

I also recommend The House Bunny for some laugh out loud moments, and I have to admit I was very skeptical of it before I watched it. Anna Faris makes the Playboy bunny of the title likeable and amusing - it's a comedy in the same vein as Legally Blonde - though Colin Hanks is an uninspiring love interest for her. There's amusing support from the sorority girls she takes under her wing, including Kat Dennings, Emma Stone, American Idol's Katharine McPhee and Rumer Willis.

I'll be telling you all about The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button in my review on Friday, but films also worth checking out at the cinema this weekend include animated movie Bolt, a cavalcade of stars including Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore in He's Just Not That Into You, or if you fancy something a little more serious you could go and see Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman in Doubt.

To check out all my music choices this week, just read more.

Album releases this week include Which Bitch by The View - you can click on the album name to preview all the tracks! Welsh songstress Jem has her album Down To Earth available to download this week, and if you're looking for something a little different or what to discover some new artists, then check out Rough Trade's Counter Culture 2008 which includes tracks from Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes, as well as bands you might not have heard of. If you want some new singles to download, then Coldplay's "Life In Technicolour II" is released this week, as is Daniel Merriweather's "Change" and the awesome Of Montreal's uplifting "An Eluardian Instance".

Lily Allen's "The Fear" is released to download this week, along with Ida Maria's "Oh My God", Fleet Foxes "Mykonos", and Bloc Party's "One Month Off".

To see what movie releases I'm looking forward to this week, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Cera and Kate Winslet, just read more

Looking forward to Friday's movie releases, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet reunite in Revolutionary Road - an adaptation of the fantastic Richard Yates novel. On the slightly more indie side of things, Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist also comes out, starring Michael Cera and Kat Dennings and telling the story of how Nick and Norah meet, and what plays out over their night in New York.

So which new releases are you checking out this week? Let me know!

The Votes Are In: Best Up-and-Comer of 2008

BuzzSugar — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 07:30:46 -0800

There's a lot of promising young talent out there but only one was deemed the best of 2008. Drumroll, please. . .

Best Up-and-Comer of 2008
Kat Dennings (Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, House Bunny)

Kat Dennings has been around for a while with roles on shows like ER and Sex and the City, and in movies like The 40-Year-Old-Virgin and Charlie Bartlett, but this was a bigger year than most for her and she's stepping into the limelight more and more. She is a master of the droll delivery and I love seeing her onscreen because she never seems fake. She comes off as a smart, cool girl and we can always use more actresses like her.

In this poll, Lucy Kate Hale (the adorable little Rose Baker on Privileged) came in second place with Tristan Wilds (90210, The Wire) taking third.

Women In Hollywood Honoured

PopSugarUK — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 05:00:00 -0700

Elegant looks were out in force at Elle's 15th Annual Women In Hollywood tribute event in LA yesterday. The annual event paid tribute to women working successfully in the film industry including Nicole Kidman, Jane Fonda, Isla Fisher, Halle Berry, Anne Hathaway and Sigourney Weaver. Brit actresses Lena Headey and Kate Beckinsale flew the flag for the UK - I adore Kate's simple one-shouldered white gown. Jennifer Lopez, Eva Mendes, Kat Dennings, Katharine McPhee, Courteney Cox-Arquette and Sheryl Crow also attended the star-filled event.

Michael Cera and Kat Dennings Are Infinitely Cute

PopSugar — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 16:00:00 -0700

Michael Cera and Kat Dennings, who play the title characters in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, posed together last night for the red carpet premiere of their movie. They looked sweet giggling for the cameras with their director and a few costars, and apparently these two aren't afraid to poke fun at each other now and then. We're excited to see Michael step it up and take on a romantic comedy, and after reading Buzz's review, we have a feeling many of you will want to see it this weekend, too.
