Lindsay Lohan: "Al Gore Will Help Me..."

GiggleSugar — Tue, 26 Dec 2006 10:20:27 -0800

Not too long ago, Lindsay Lohan sent out a bizarre, rambling, and typo-riddled email to her friends and entourage, saying "Al Gore will help me. He came up to me last night and said he'd be happy to have a conversation with me." Here's Gallery of the Absurd's photoshopped reaction from Gore. (I'm sure global warming can take a backseat to LiLo's more pressing issues--whatever those may be.)

NYFW: Celeb Spotting - Part Two

PopSugarUK — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 09:45:29 -0700

Earlier today I posted my first gallery of a whole host of celebs who have been out and about at New York Fashion Week over the past few days, and now it's time for part two. Mermaids (remember that?!) co-stars Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci sat next to Nicole Richie at DKNY, creating a gorgeous front row. Like Nicole, Gossip Girl stars Jessica Szohr, Leighton Meester and Michelle Trachtenberg have also all been spotted at several events, the latter showing sexy curves in a Herve Leger dress.

Ugly Betty stars Becki Newton and Mark Indelicato have also been spotted at several shows, Becki's been playing around with some fun looks, and I love Mark's Mr Happy t-shirt - what a fashionable 14-year-old! Some other acting folk spotted round the heady rush of events include Parker Posey, Liv Tyler, Courteney Cox, Mary Louise Parker, Uma Thurman, Jennifer Lopez, Adrien Grenier, Rose Byrne and young Emma Roberts, all of them looking rather fabulous in their fashionable attire.

Kelly Osbourne was looking slimmer than ever on her boyfriend Luke Worrell's arm, and the ubiquitous Agyness Deyn and her best mate Henry Holland have continued to pop up at shows. And of course Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson made headlines when they attended Charlotte Ronson's show, and I'm fresh out of skepticism for these two. They looked so happy.

PopSugarUK — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 05:03:20 -0700

The stars were out in New York last night at the Whitney Museum Gala Studio Party in Manhattan, where glam was the order of the night for the guests. Alexa Chung looked beautiful in pale blue, on the day the second series of It's On With Alexa Chung started on MTV in the US, while Mischa Barton went for gown in a darker shade. Shimmering nudes and metallics were also prevalent as Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen played her skin coloured dress up with a very smoky eye, and buddies Donatella Versace and Lindsay Lohan also wore pale shades. Go behind the seams with Fab UK! Jennifer Hudson looked stunning in her pale pink dress, while Gerard Butler looked suave as always in his black suit. Yum!

Molly — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 23:52:45 -0700

New York Fashion Week didn't slow down over the weekend, and the front rows were star-studded gearing up for last night's big event, the VMAs. Lindsay Lohan ducked into Alice + Olivia and Shenae Grimes, a sparkly Blake Lively, and Rachel Zoe all scored spots at the Diane von Furstenberg show on Sunday. Mischa stepped out for the Herve Leger show as well as to attend an event for The Beautiful Life. Rachel McAdams sat alongside Anna Wintour at Alexander Wang and posed with Leighton Meester backstage at Altuzarra. With so many big events taking place in New York, the fashionista stars were all over.

Hilary Duff and Amanda Bynes were front and center for the Herve Leger show, which is no big surprise considering how often they, especially Amanda, are seen wearing the ubiquitous bandage dresses. Kirsten Dunst mixed things up at Band of Outsiders, while Hayden Christensen was out without his fiance Rachel Bilson at Lacoste. Lots more photos to check out in the gallery, and if you're looking for all the action on the runways, don't miss all of Fab's coverage from the tents and Bella's Fashion Week coverage here.

Divine Dresses At D&G Do

PopSugarUK — Tue, 27 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700

This weekend saw more Cannes activity, including a fabulous Dolce & Gabbana party that saw familiar and new celebs to the Film Festival walking the swirly carpet to be photographed. Lindsay Lohan had reporters buzzing after showing up wearing a sparkler on her engagement finger, Rose McGowan had to accessorise with her large plastercast after she broke her leg, and the host duo showed up with Cannes birthday girl Naomi "Don't call me a supermodel" Campbell.

Kate Hudson looked stunning in a white mini-dress and was apparently cosying up to her photographer-shy man Lance Armstrong all evening, Natalie Portman and her man Devendra Banhart also showed up, posing separately, but Devendra showed just how happy he was to be there by having a pre-party groove in front of photographers. Ah, love!

Lindsay's Worth Waiting For On September's Elle Cover

PopSugarUK — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 03:08:56 -0700

Lindsay Lohan stars on the cover of Elle magazine's September issue, in some great photos shot by Rankin. Check out the video where it's revealed that the team waited twelve hours to begin the shoot! The photoshoot for this issue was the cause of some headlines as it led to a police investigation when some jewellery went missing from the set. None of the jewellery is in these photos, and Elle have previously stated they have no reason to believe that Lindsay had anything to do with the theft. Police made this statement:

“Officers from Westminster police are investigating an allegation of theft of jewellery from studios in Brewery Road, Islington. The theft was reported to a central London police station on 8 June 2009 after earrings and a necklace, believed to be diamond and estimated to be worth in the region of almost £24,000, were found to be missing approx two days earlier. Inquiries are continuing. There have been no arrests at this stage. We will be speaking to a number of people in connection with the inquiry. We do not discuss the names of people we are planning to interview.”

Despite all the controversy, Lindsay looks great in these photos, so check them all out in the gallery below!

More photographs of Lindsay and the story behind the shoot will appear in the September issue of ELLE Magazine, on sale Wednesday 5th August.

Geeky Girl We Love: 14 of Gallery of the Absurd

GeekSugar — Tue, 08 May 2007 09:00:56 -0700

There are hundreds of bloggers I admire for their tenacity, drive, humor and innovative ideas, but very few who embody the combination of artistry, sarcasm and wit that 14, the founder of Gallery of the Absurd does.

14, who is an artist first and a blogger second, has wowed the web with what the New York Post called "Portraits of Shame" - as in satirical paintings and drawings of tabloid favorites like Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Tom Cruise and Alec Baldwin. While gossip blogs talked about the Hollywood Skeleton Girls, 14 painted them - as skeletons. When Star Jones got canned from The View following her shameless quest for wedding freebies and the denial and controversy surrounding her dramatic weight loss, 14 painted her as a fish about to sink her teeth into a giant and shiny bite of "free" bait. No matter what the scandal, 14's hauntingly hilarious images seem to begin where tabloids end and her collection, which is archived on Gallery of the Absurd is an addiction in its own right. I recently found out she resides in San Francisco and that she's a major geek. She was gracious enough to let me pick at her brain. For the full interview, read more

Geeksugar: You've said you love the celebrities you paint because they bring you so much joy and laughter. How do you decide when a celebrity moment or trend needs to be immortalized in a painting?
14: The frequency of the celeb's appearance in the blogs and tabloids plus the ridiculousness of the celeb's actions equals my interest in painting them.

Geeksugar: Which celebrities inspire you the most?
14: Celebrities with huge notions of entitlement are my favorites: Tom Cruise and Paris Hilton. I also love painting the public train wrecks: Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Tara Reid. Anyone who causes me laughter is ripe for my pen.

Geeksugar: Is there anyone you wouldn't paint?
14: I focus my attention on tabloid celebrities rather than serious actors/actresses. I've avoided actresses such as Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johanssen because they conduct their private lives with dignity. However, if they became involved in a Paris Hilton-style scandal, they would quickly become candidates for Gallery of the Absurd. Also, I'm scared to draw Oprah...I dunno, just am.

Geeksugar: Tell me a little about the artistic process. I read you use ink, acrylic, pastels and oils on paper or canvas, as well as digital enhancement.
14: First, I make a pencil sketch by turning the reference photo upside down and drawing it that way. Then I dance around in my studio for a bit and then go back to sketching. I'll do several sketches and to save time, I'll often scan the sketch in Illustrator and convert to a vector and then color and layout in Photoshop. Other times I take several days to paint an oil or acrylic. I'm still teaching myself to draw and paint, so I experiment a lot with different mediums and styles. Now I'm teaching myself Flash and am working with some animators on a Gallery of the Absurd cartoon.

Geeksugar: How many hours do you pour into most works?
14: The average time spent on a finished illustration is about 8 hours each. Sketches with digital color take less time and paintings can take up to a week.

Geeksugar: Do you use a PC or Mac?
14: MAC only. A PC would never enter my studio.

Geeksugar: What non-celebrity websites do you read everyday?
14: I visit art blogs such as Drawn!, I read "alternative" news sites such as a Rense.com and Alternet.org, a few political blogs and...I redden as I type this...I read UFO blogs and paranormal news sites. Blush.

Geeksugar: What are your guilty pleasure TV shows?
14: I really hate TV and can't keep my attention focused on it for very long, but shows such as The Office, Entourage and Wife Swap snagged me in their net and I'm a little pissed about it.

Geeksugar: What do you snack on while working?
14: Raw almonds, strawberries, and olives...but not all at the same time.

Geeksugar: I define about 60 percent of your "interests" as geeky (that's a plus in my book). Do you consider yourself a geek?
14: I am a major geek and I wear it as a badge of honor. I devour a wide range of non-fiction books weekly and enjoy taking things apart and fixing them without the use of directions. I find enjoyment in both a hardware store as well as Sephora.

Geeksugar: I read you have a huge crush on Stephen Colbert. Who do you think is the sexiest geek ever?
14: When I watched Stephen Colbert speak to Bush at the White House Correspondents Dinner, I immediately fell in love. Geeky men with balls and razor wit turn me into mush and make my heart go a'flutter. I'm sure there's other sexxay geeks out there, but I can't think of one now.

Geeksugar: What are some of your other hobbies when you're not painting and creating art?
14: Hiking, people watching, gardening, ufo investigation, yoga, rabble rousing.

Geeksugar: Are you going to buy an iPhone?
14: No, but maybe someone will buy one for me.

Geeksugar: Do you listen to music while you paint, and if so, who are you listening to these days?
14: All the time! Lately I've been listening to The Residents, The The, Amon Tobin, Manu Chau, Sufi music, Mozart and some weird crystal bowl healing stuff that is supposed to "raise your vibrations," but so far I've not noticed anything different.

Geeksugar: Tell us more about your background, how you got started as a blogger and what you've learned from it.
14: My background is in high-tech marketing and public relations, but I quit 7 years ago because I was having more fun drawing my bizarro co-workers than writing marketing plans. After that, I became a free-lance art curator and artist and created several multimedia art shows and events. A sudden move from Seattle to Los Angeles turned my life upside down, so I started Gallery of the Absurd to cope with not knowing anyone in a new town. Now it's my job and I looooove blogging. Who cares if I don't make as much money as when I had to market software? I'm far happier and free now.

Geeksugar: Any celebrity you are dying to meet?
14: I'd love to meet George Lucas. I have so much admiration for him and they way he brought his imagination to life. I'm not so much a Star Wars fan, but I am a fan of Lucas himself. Most of the tabloid celebs I draw don't really fascinate me that much and I'd likely not take notice of them unless they were acting like clowns. I'd love to be invisible and follow Tom Cruise around for 24 hours just to see the full spectrum of whackiness he'd reveal. Maybe it would be fun to have a drink with Courtney Love too.

Geeksugar: What are some of your favorite places in the San Francisco?
14: One of my favorite hobbies is people watching and this city has the BEST! I put on dark glasses and trek miles all around this fine city and am entertained for hours. I also spend lots of time at the SF Botanical Garden, Land's End, and Sutro Park. I love the lychee cocktails at Cafe Claude and the dark chocolate salted caramels from Recchiuti.

14's prints are available for sale on Gallery of the Absurd. Check out more interviews with Geeky Girls We Love.

2008 MTV VMAs: Winners And Wicked Performances

PopSugarUK — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 05:15:00 -0700

As I told you earlier, Britney Spears won three awards last night, sweeping the board at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. After her cringeworthy comeback performance last year, it felt like this year she'd finally got it all together - she looked stunning in her mini-dress as she opened the show with a skit featuring Jonah Hill (UK readers, you can watch it all unfold on MTV tonight from 8pm). Rihanna, T.I, Christina Aguilera and the Jonas Brothers also put on some memorable performances, with Pink's spectacle of a performance standing out as a particular highlight.

Host Russell Brand has definitely split opinion, much as he does in the UK - you definitely either love him or you hate him! A remark about President Bush possibly didn't warm him to some members of the audience early on, plus a couple of British slang remarks appeared to confuse the international audience - for instance, it appears "yobbos" is not used across the pond! I can't wait to watch it in full tonight to see if he got lost in translation, or if he was off his game.

To see a list of all the winners, as well as a massive gallery of photos from the show and audience, just read more

Dramatic Dresses And Dapper Dudes at The MTV VMAs

PopSugarUK — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 03:09:12 -0700

LA was host to the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards last night, and nominees, presenters and performers flocked to the red carpet for the show. Black seemed to be the order of the day as Christina Aguilera, Ashlee Simpson, Miley Cyrus and Heidi Montag showed up in gothic tones, meanwhile Heidi's The Hills arch-enemy Lauren Conrad showed up in a gorgeous short white dress. Pink wore a striking red and black striped number, while Katy Perry turned up in... well, not a lot actually!

I can't wait to hear what you think of all the red carpet attire, so once you've flicked through my gallery of photos let me know your thoughts! The men were either suave in suits like Chace Crawford, Drake Bell, Zac Efron and Josh Peck, or casual in the case of Jonah Hill, Kid Rock and Corbin Bleu.

Stay tuned for the winners, and lots of photos from the show. But for many more photos from last night's arrivals at the MTV VMAs, just read more.
