Saying "Ladies" - Yay or Nay?

GiggleSugar — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 08:00:20 -0700

I love Demetri Martin's bit about how adding the word "ladies" to the end of a sentence automatically makes you sound like a creep. I admit, the word "ladies" often makes me cringe, though some of my guy friends seem to think it's classy. I guess it's better than referring to a group of women as "girls" or "my b*tches!" . . . but still. What say you?

What to Download: New Music Today

BuzzSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:00:17 -0800

Welcome to a very special Monday edition of What to Download! Instead of Tuesday, all the hot music releases are happening today. In addition to the dance-floor-ready releases I've handpicked below, Shakira's She Wolf also dropped today.

Good girl gone bad makes good: Rihanna has had a tough year, but if her release of Rated R is any indication, she's ready to pick herself up and be back on top - of the charts, at least. Considering her last album gave us modern classic "Umbrella," I've been trying to sniff out this year's mega-hit. "Hard" probably comes the closest, but while it's catchy, this isn't a candy-coated pop musing. Sounding weary but more mature, Rihanna brings a darkness with her singles, particularly on "Wait Your Turn," probably my favorite on the album. Speaking of dark, "Russian Roulette," a stirring ballad, conjures up gun metaphors for love. Its heaviness, along with the album's, may or may not translate to chart success, but it's a tough, brave declaration that Rihanna isn't going anywhere.

Feel the fame all over again:The Fame Monster is the re-issue of Lady Gaga's debut album The Fame, but has enough new tracks on it to justify all the buzz around it. You'd have to be fighting it pretty hard to not have heard "Bad Romance" - the track and its great hook are exactly what I like to hear from Gaga. But I think the real winner here is going to be "Telephone" - featuring the only diva fierce enough to go head to head with Gaga: Beyonce. If you still need more fuel for your dance party, play "Monster" a few times and you'll be spinning around your room in no time.

See one more new release when you read more.

Worship your glam idol: Kris Allen may have won American Idol, but Adam Lambert is your rock king. For Your Entertainment is as glittery and fun as its crazy cover promises. I've been loving the bouncy, sexy title track since Lambert performed it in his scandalous AMA performance. Swaggering glam rock track "Strut" is more of the same fun, and the fabulously '80s "Music Again" features the capable vocalist hitting high notes like a modern Freddie Mercury.

Tons of Stars Come Out For MOCA's 30th Birthday!

Molly — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 06:00:08 -0800

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie weren't the only stars who headed out for the MOCA 30th Anniversary Gala in LA on Saturday night. The Jolie-Pitts skipped the red carpet, but there was more than enough star power even without the A-List couple. Kate Bosworth, Eva Mendes and Jessica Alba showed some leg in shorter dresses while Rachel Zoe and Kate Beckinsale stuck with their floor-skimming looks. The event looks like it was a huge success and they had at least one happy attendee - Rachel Zoe twittered about how much she loved the mixing of art and fashion worlds.

The museum's art wasn't the only thing on display for the night - Lady Gaga performed for the crowd which also included some cute loved-up couples. Gaga played the piano and sang, wearing an outfit designed by Frank Gehry, Muccia Prada and Baz Luhrmann which were all part of an art piece. Gwen Stefani posed with Gavin Rossdale while Neil Patrick Harris had his boyfriend David Burtka as his date. James Franco even brought out his longtime lady Ahna O'Reilly for the bash. Brad and Angelina took a tour of the pieces and apparently they're working on an art project of their own - the Jolie-Pitts are designing a line of jewelry for Asprey. The celebrities might have gotten the first look, but a collection celebrating the museum's first 30 years will be on display to the public until May.

To see tons more from the event including Nicky Hilton, Christina Ricci, Zoe Saldana, Pharrell Williams and others just read more.

Ladies' Home Journal: The New Nicole Kidman Is a Woman's Woman

babysugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:00:28 -0800

Oscar and Golden Globe-winning actress, producer, and vocalist are just a few things Nicole Kidman can rattle off from her long list of accomplishments. But the role the gorgeous red head relishes most is being a mother and wife in her new hometown of Nashville. As country crooner Keith Urban's partner, she is happy to sit back for a bit and let the spotlight shine brightly on him while she spends the majority of her time raising their young daughter, Sunday. The 42-year-old mother recently took time to sit down with Ladies' Home Journal where she talked about her content lifestyle and her desire to give back to the community.

On living in Nashville:

I love living here. . . . It's a long way from New York and Los Angeles, but that's part of the attraction. I feel protected here, especially now that I have the baby. . . . There are certain limitations to my career because I'm based here. And that's cool. Keith has enormous ambitions, which I support. His tours and albums are much bigger than what I'm doing right now.

On how she cherishes her new life:

I was running from my life, in a way. . . . My imaginary life was better than my flesh-and-blood life. That's a sad thing to say, but it was. Now I love my real life so much it requires an enormous belief in a film to want to take it on. . . . I think that we're in the world to connect. Because that's what you're left with. You're not left with your houses or awards or money, you're left with the people that you built relationships with.

On UNIFEM, a charity she has worked with for years:

It's so they'll [battered women] have a place to call. A lot of women are so terrified; they'll go to the police or court and don't win. We can set up shelters and raise money. . . . I'm constantly trying to find new ways to give back. . . . Women are nurturers. There's so much we can do with the power of our feelings, the power of our sensitivity.

To see what the leggy lady has to say about being a strong woman, her past divorce, and her marriage to the hunky, honky-tonk star, just read more.

On how she was raised to be a strong woman:

She wanted us to have a sense of our place in the world. . . . She didn't want us to be shaped by our relationship with boys. She wanted us to focus on our intellect instead.

On how she and her sister Antonia made it through their divorces:

A lot of it was literally holding each other and listening. . . . Our motto is, "Just get in there. Don't retreat. Stay in it."

On her marriage to Keith Urban:

Keith and I have a very honest, profound marriage, which we both contribute to every day. . . . We have a phrase, "Does this contribute to the good of our union?" Because that's what's most important. I love being in love. I believe in the power of love, the way it can heal. The more you keep choosing it - because there are times when you can choose to be angry at the person or to love him - the more it nourishes a family.

Beyonce feat. Lady GaGa "Video Phone" - Spin It or Sling It?

PopSugarUK — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:43:35 -0800

Beyonce and Lady GaGa have teamed up for new song "Video Phone", and the video has just been released! Beyonce sports a number of revealing outfits in the colourful video, while GaGa's appearance is pretty understated compared to her usual outlandish attire! She said she told Beyonce, "...I don't want to show up in some frickin' hair bow and be fashion Gaga in your video... I want to do you." Check out the video below and let me know - will you spin it or will you sling it?

Which Guest Star Are You Most Excited to See This Week?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:30:00 -0800

November sweeps is here, which means appearances by big names on some of my favorite shows. We've already seen the likes of Samantha Ronson and Pharrell on 90210, but now we're getting to the exciting stuff.

Lady Gaga hits Gossip Girl tonight - check out a sneak peek here - before Melrose Place welcomes back Heather Locklear tomorrow night. And who could forget James Franco's big cameo on General Hospital? While I'm still baffled by his career move - not to mention those early pics - Franco on a soap opera is bound to be hilarious.

All of this means lots of TV-watching for me, and luckily none of the shows are on the same night, so I don't even have to pick favorites! Still, I'm curious to hear your opinion - which guest appearance is earning the top spot on your TiVo?

Found: Lady Gaga's LoveGame Lingerie

FabSugarUK — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:00:29 -0800

Lady Gaga's latest video for LoveGame has just been revealed she dances around in her signature revealing outfits. In some of the video she just wears lingerie which I'm excited to reveal is by Agent Provocateur. It's fair to assume that Lady Gaga knows a few things about lingerie as she often has it on show and these pieces (whether you have them on show or under your clothes) are beautiful. The appropriately named Love set includes a black bra (£80) and matching briefs (£48). Check out her Bad Romance video here where she wears Alexander McQueen!

Listen and Watch Lady Gaga's New Single "Bad Romance"!

PopSugarUK — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:30:00 -0800

Lady Gaga's new release "Bad Romance" is quite catchy, and this video is definitely for those looking for a fashion fix. She has many a costume change in these five minutes including a heck of a shoe collection (I especially love her metallic Alexander McQueen's)! Watch below and let me know what you think of the song and the video - enjoy!

Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga Get Lippy

BellaSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 09:00:52 -0800

Following in the footsteps of people such as Ru Paul, Fergie, and Mary J. Blige, Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga are the next faces of the MAC AIDS Fund. Founded in 1994, the fund has raised more than $150 million to support AIDS research, treatment, and prevention initiatives.

MAC plans to release two lipsticks (Viva Glam Gaga and Viva Glam Cyndi, natch) in March 2010. Every cent of sales of the $14 lipsticks will be funneled to the MAC AIDS Fund. I'll also wager that there will be events and performances galore, so if you're a fan, you're in luck. I think both Gaga and Cyndi are great choices for the campaign. Do you?
