Cameron Has Her Friends and Costars to Keep Her Smiling

PopSugar — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 14:30:54 -0700

Cameron Diaz still had her sun-kissed Hawaiian glow at Stella McCartney's backyard screening of the environmental film Home in LA on Friday night. She giggled with Liv Tyler and Rachel Zoe while other celebrities like Charlize Theron and Rosario Dawson posed for photographers. Cameron's been working hard lately promoting My Sister's Keeper and recently talked about how her costars in the film helped her cope with her father's death. It could be tough to rehash the difficult time as she talks to the press, but it looks like the actress knows how to kick back and unwind with her girlfriends when she can.

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".

The House Bunny: See It or Skip It?

PopSugarUK — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 08:00:00 -0700

From Legally Blonde's writers comes The House Bunny, out in the UK today following its summer release in the US.

The film focuses on Shelley (Anna Faris), a Playboy bunny who's thrown out of Hef's mansion for being too old. Finding herself on a university campus, she becomes housemother to a sorority of "nerds". Cue lots of lessons in makeup and fashion, and the requisite discovery that it's not all about looks.

My girl Buzz found the film disappointing, but did think Anna Faris was endearingly goofy. Check out the trailer below and let me know your thoughts: will you see it, or do you think you'll skip it?

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.

The House Bunny: Generic Sorority Comedy

BuzzSugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 09:46:07 -0700

To be honest, I really wanted The House Bunny to be great. I didn't expect it to be, but I wished it would surprise me and turn out to be fun and hilarious. Amidst the constant comedic bombardment from the Ferrells, Stillers and Apatows of the world, I wanted there to be a totally kickass, stand-out female-led comedy. And while Anna Faris is endearingly goofy, the movie overall is just another manufactured cookie-cutter cutout of the same ol', same ol' (not unlike an actual Playboy bunny, come to think of it).

You can glean pretty much all the necessary information about the plot from the movie's trailer. Playboy bunny Shelley (Faris) learns that she's been kicked out of the Playboy mansion after her 27th birthday. She wanders around until she spots a row of houses that look like miniature Playboy mansions: frat and sorority houses. Shelley ultimately finds herself at the Zeta Alpha Zeta house, thus far led by the adorably nerdy Natalie. ZAZ is the place where the "misfit" sorority girls go (you know, ones who have piercings, or a back brace, or were raised on a farm). The girls need to get at least 30 new pledges in order to keep the ZAZ house, so Shelley appoints herself as the sorority's housemother and gets to work changing around the sorority's reputation. For more on how she goes about doing this, read more.

Changing around the girls' image consists of giving them all makeovers so they look more conventionally pretty, and schooling them in the ways of flirting. The basis for this logic is that pledges will see that these girls can get boys, and they'll want to join up with these girls. Shelley instructs the girls on how to teeter around in insanely high heels, wear extensions and use Waterbras. In a scene that made me question what decade we're in, Shelley advises Natalie against coming across as intelligent in front of boys because they "don't like girls who are too smart." Later, Natalie falls for the smart, studious Oliver (Colin Hanks) and she goes about trying to make herself into more of an intellectual in order to impress him. But because that's not who she really is, it doesn't work so well.

Many similarities could be drawn between Legally Blonde's Elle Woods and The House Bunny's Shelley (and unsurprisingly, these two movies were written by the same people). Both characters are sunny, blond, girlishly sweet and underestimated because of the way they look. But the comedy in Legally Blonde often comes from her proving to the doubters that she's actually quite clever. In House Bunny we're laughing at Shelley's mispronounced words and dazed confusion over everyday things. And though the silliness of her misunderstandings is funny, she also sometimes seems to border on brain damaged.

Toward the end there's some vague references to the idea that maybe - just maybe - Shelley doesn't actually know everything there is to know about getting boys and being popular, and that it's better to just be yourself. But the thing is, even after they all come to that conclusion, they're still the glossier versions of themselves, and I found myself longing for the "freak" girls from the beginning of the movie - the ones with some character and sense of individuality. Of course I'd like those girls to be confident and well-liked, too, I just wish that the only way to achieve that wasn't by making each of them look like Hilary Duff. The message still seems to be that you can be an individual - but only after you've reached a certain base level of acceptable prettiness. I'm not saying I'm surprised, but it's a shame that this opportunity was wasted. A more fun and more interesting storyline might have been to have the "misfit" sorority succeed without having to wear pounds of makeup, tiny dresses and push-up bras.

In a sea of dresses at the The House Bunny CosmoGIRL! special screening, Katharine stood out in her polished, yet easy, black and white pant ensemble. Her white silk Alice + Olivia top with floral appliqué sleeves is sweet but she tempers the look with black trousers. Black platform sandals elevate the wearer, and the sparkling accessories further feminize. There's not a bit of bunny in this pulled-together look.

Charles by Charles David Slinky Platform Sandal - $104.95	Catherine Michiels Sterling Silver Bead Bracelet - $110.00
