FabSugar — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 07:33:22 -0800

The 18th Annual Britannia awards brought out a gaggle of classy ladies. From fitted to voluminous, the following ladies radiated in their red carpet looks. Amy Adams (in Azzaro) and Minnie Driver went down the noir path, Freida Pinto showed sheer Valentino love, Emily Blunt dazzled in burgundy Basil Soda, and Claire Danes worked a classy black-and-white Oscar de la Renta number. All of them are spotlight-worthy, but who's most Fab?

Emily was joined, though, by her Sunshine Cleaning costar Amy Adams.

Several Brits were honoured at the BAFTA/LA Britannia Awards in California last night. Actors who received awards included Colin Firth, who picked up the Humanitarian Award, and Emily Blunt who was named British Artist Of The Year. Robert De Niro received the Stanley Kubrick Award for Excellence In Film, Kirk Douglas was awarded for his Worldwide Contribution To Filmed Entertainment and Danny Boyle received Artistic Excellence In Directing. Danny was joined by his Slumdog Millionaire stars Dev Patel, Freida Pinto and Anil Kapoor.

Other stars at the ceremony included Claire Danes, Minnie Driver, Lucy Davis and Stephen Fry, who hosted the ceremony and said: "(In London) as the evening progresses, a larger and larger percentage of the audience gets really annoyed, by the end of the evening three quarters of the entire room are angry because they got passed over for an award. The beauty of the Britannias is that everyone knows who has won, five winners - and it's short."

Motherhood: A Harried-Mom Tale That Often Feels Tired

BuzzSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 14:30:20 -0700

When you have a parenting movie set in New York, you should know better than to expect a warm-'n'-fuzzy story about the joys of having kids. In fact, Motherhood is out to prove that mothers have it rough.

The film follows Eliza Welsh (Uma Thurman), a Manhattan writer dealing with a cramped apartment, busy husband, and side-street parking while raising her two kids. A day in her life feels like a really, really long 24 hours. Eliza runs around frantically trying to prepare for her 6-year-old's birthday while composing an essay for a parenting magazine contest and squeezing in a sample sale with her mommy friend Sheila (Minnie Driver). We know that Eliza was once a great writer, but when she had kids, she decided to give up her job to raise her family. Now, she's a shell of her former self in frumpy clothes and messy hair. Simply put, Eliza is dealing with the classic parent conundrum: how do you care for your kids and still retain something for yourself? The answer? It ain't easy.

For more about what I mean, read more.

Eliza doesn't try to feign martyrdom. In fact, she often whines about her plight in a way that screams, "I'm angry, dammit!" And at first, you're angry for her too. (No woman deserves to put up with all that she does.) But as the film goes on, Eliza's bitterness knocks you over the head, and you have to you wonder - is she like this every day? Yeesh.

Luckily we have Eliza's friend Sheila for some needed comic relief. Sheila is the cool single mom to the more neurotic Eliza - she mouths off cheeky one-liners and uses her son's motorized bath toy for her "alone time." Jodie Foster also delivers a hilarious cameo as a celebrity mom swearing at the paparazzi on the playground - aka, herself. Both women keep Eliza's "what-can-go-wrong-will-go-wrong" storyline from wearing too thin.

Mothers will probably identify with either Eliza or Sheila but what about the rest of us? While the actors perform well and the movie provides laughs for those who can relate (read: parents), most of the jokes don't feel fresh, and you've probably seen similar setups on shows like The Middle or In the Motherhood or any of the other dozens of family comedies in recent years. Props to the filmmakers for giving mothers their due, but if you're not one yourself, an hour and a half with Eliza may be enough to make you rush out of the theater and buy birth control.

Where's the Strangest Place Your Baby Has Slept?

babysugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:45:32 -0700

Babies are some of the most adaptable beings on the planet. With a lil practice and some love from mama, wee ones can follow most any routine (or lack thereof) that their mother sets up for them, even when it comes to sleeping. Parents on the go know that a crib is just a crib when it comes to getting some shut-eye. Sure tots may like their own bed best but if they are accustomed to the jet-setting life, chances are they will crash wherever a sheet and mattress can be found. The multi-talented actress, songwriter, singer and mother Minnie Driver stopped by Live with Regis and Kelly to chat about her newest flick, Motherhood. The mother of 13-month-old Henry chatted about the tot's ability to snooze on the road. Her travel has made hotel closets the norm for the wee one's resting spot.

Where is the strangest place your baby has slept?

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves kicked off their Earth Day festivities last night with a party at the Malibu Lumber Yard grand opening.

Minnie Driver Tells Henry a Story During Their Beach Stroll

PopSugarUK — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 06:00:00 -0800

Minnie Driver held baby Henry Story close as she enjoyed a stroll on the beach in Malibu yesterday. Having wrapped up filming on the aptly named Motherhood before she gave birth, Minnie has now set her sights on her next project: Betty Anne Waters. She'll play Hilary Swank's friend in the legal drama, which is based on the true story of a woman who spent ten years getting a law degree and working to prove the innocence of her brother, who was sentenced to life in prison for a murder-robbery. With such an appropriate middle name, Henry will no doubt be a captive audience should Minnie need to practice her lines.
