Cool Capture: Photography Class Collection From ladyisadorable

Geek Community — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:13:05 -0800

Reader ladyisadorable recently added some stunning shots to the Cool Capture group:

I love the repetition of the lamp posts in this picture. I just wish that I had backed up more so the top of the lamp hadn't been cut off. This was taken at the University of Georgia. I used to live in Athens and my friends and I would wander around campus even though we weren't in college and just hang out. This was taken with a Vivitar v3800n.

Rewind: This Week's Buzz

BuzzSugar — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 07:00:00 -0800

In case you haven't heard, a little movie called New Moon came out this week. I showed you where you can find them next, and I gave you my review of the movie, quizzed you on the book, as well as an exclusive interview with Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene.
Robert Pattinson continues to make non-Twilight waves at the movies: the trailer for his drama Remember Me debuted, and news that Uma Thurman has been cast as his love interest in Bel Ami surfaced.
This week was a trailer treasure trove: there was Nicholas Sparks adaptation and Miley Cyrus vehicle The Last Song, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jeff Bridge's surefire Oscar bait Crazy Heart, and Edward Norton taking on a dual role in Leaves of Grass.
At least you'll save on tissues: Oprah announced that her talk show will go off the air in 2011.
I interviewed some of the funniest men in prime time: Eric Stonestreet gave me the scoop on Modern Family, while Joel McHale and Ken Jeong bantered about Community.
The reality TV winners were crowned! Irina ruled Project Runway, and Nicole is America's Next Top Model.
The holidays are here! I gave you a sneak peek of holiday episodes as well as more gift guide suggestions.
The BuzzSugar Community is the place to be to chat about everything pop culture, and as an extra incentive, you could see your community posts on the Buzz home page, like polkadot38's awesome Stefan Vs. Damon poll.

ANTM Beauty Quiz: "America's Next Top Model Is..."

BellaSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:00:00 -0800

It's official: Nicole Fox is America's Next Top Model. Contain your thrill! OK, while this finale wasn't the most suspenseful ever, it was nice to see that two sweet and semi-geeky girls made it to the end, right? As my short-legged cat Milo and I watched the episode, we had mixed emotions. This may be the first time that the winner had more viability as a model, and Nicole could pick up some edgier gigs. Still, I couldn't help but want to hug Laura, who clearly was crushed by being the runner-up. This episode earns just a two-Milo rating. And while ANTM will always be a guilty pleasure, this cycle came up a little, well, short. Do you agree? Take my trivia quiz (and Buzz's, too) and tell me what you think.

Victoria Opens Up About Sharing a Bed With Sexy David!

PopSugarUK — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:56:54 -0800

Victoria Beckham looked a bit sheepish as she left her management's office in London to return to her hotel last night, perhaps because quotes from her interview with Allure have been released. When asked if she prefers sleep or sex, Victoria replied: "Sex! I'm getting into bed with David Beckham every night, so, you know, there'd be something wrong if I said 'sleep'." Victoria also revealed all about her bedroom attire, admitting: "I tend to wear nothing, but David bought me these little sets from Agent Provocateur, his favourite store." These comments follow hot on the heels of Victoria praising David for his inclusion on People's Sexiest Men of the Year list: "He idolizes our three boys, and this is what makes him 'the sexiest man alive' to me." While her personal life is rosy, Victoria still has to deny rumours about her business life, with her rep shooting down those reports about Blake Lively modelling for her line.

To find out what Victoria said about her tanning regime and food choices, read more.

On the subject of her bronzed skin: "I don't self-tan anymore. It's frustrating when people criticise my colour. It's the colour that I am! I wear sunblock, but I live in a hot climate."
On whether she'd order salad or chips in a restaurant: "Salad. I'm not going to lie. I'm not one of these people that says, 'Oh, I eat hamburgers.'"

What do you think of Victoria's candid comments?

A Little Monday Inspiration - Paula Deen

SavvySugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:00:02 -0800

Need a little Monday inspiration to get you going, then look no further than Paula Deen. The 62 year-old restaurateur, entrepreneur, and superwoman, makes the list of Fortune's 50 Most Powerful Women, and opens up about her journey to the top and how she totally transformed her life.

You may not agree with her buttery-indulgent recipes, but Paula's personal story and professional mega-success certainly inspire - serving as a role model for anyone looking to make a career out of their passion, and as a reminder that it's never too late to redirect your career goals.

Explains Paula, "I came from an era where...I expected some man to take care of me...[till] 42 [when] I realized that I was just as capable as my husband," and opened her very own restaurant business, The Bag Lady - the first small step in a career move that has had a huge payoff. How's that for a savvy career woman?

Cool Capture Reader Entry: A Coolpix View of the Bay

Geek Community — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 10:10:46 -0800

Reader sissysugar recently added some shots to the Cool Capture group in the GeekSugar Community:

I snapped this pretty picture of the Golden Gate Bridge and bay with my Nikon Coolpix S200. I love the camera because it takes good pictures and is light and fits in my bag, but I'm ready to graduate to an SLR for more advanced options. I don't really have any special technique. I just love taking pictures and capturing moments that make me feel something.
