The work of Tim Burton is being celebrated at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in a brand new exhibition that launched last night, and a selection of stars turned out to take a look at the collection. Tim Burton and his wife Helena Bonham Carter attended and posed for photos with Tim's buddy Johnny Depp, who was looking gorgeous as always! His sexiness has been verified by People magazine who have named him sexiest man alive! Do you agree? New Moon's Ashley Greene took a night off from promotion and checked out the exhibition, as did Rose Byrne who was also dressed in black. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen also attended the event, wearing big coats and carrying matching bags - check out the colourful streaks in Ashley's hair! Other guests included Patti Smith and Brooke Shields!

I know what you might be thinking: "Kristen Stewart's hair is too wild for me to pull off." Not so! On the New Moon red carpet tonight, Kristen manages to turn this curly hairstyle, which could easily go more the route of high school-prom, into a funky 'do with plenty of edge. The great thing is, this look is not only wearable for all hair types, but it's both modern and fresh, too. Try it out. You might just surprise yourself.

Which Hairstyle Do You Prefer on Diane Kruger?

BellaSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:01:15 -0700

Diane is just as dynamic when it comes to her hair as she is with the roles she takes. In the past couple months, she's had oodles of offbeat bobby pins, and worn her hair up, down, and in every pretty variation in between. She even started the hot fishtail braid trend back in May. In the last couple of days, she's worn both these soft, romantic mermaid waves and this modern, minimalist messy bun. She looks great in both, but which style do you think suits her best?

Get Your Sparkle On With a Zooey-Inspired Headband

I've long admired Zooey Dechanel's retro style, and at the Hollywood Awards Gala, she walked the red carpet while wearing this swirly, sparkling headband. The side angle of the hair accessory adds a playfully modern feel, and the bangs bring a fashionable element to her signature look. For a similar take on Zooey's throwback style, check out the widget below for some sparkly black headbands.

Happening Hair: The Modern Half Up, Half Down

BellaSugar — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 07:43:22 -0800

Here is a happening do that is a modern take on the old half up, half down style. This look is great for those of you with long layers or one solid length - so basically anyone, but you have to have some substantial length to pull this off. This is also a quick style for women on the go. It keeps your hair out of your eyes, but won't take it completely off of your face. Ultimately, this is a super sexy hair style, hence it being modeled here on some of the world's sexiest women. You can wear this hair on the third day of a blowout too, just as the crown is getting greasy. This look is also a great way to add volume to a round shaped face.

Choose a shampoo and conditioner with volumizing agents in it. I happen to really love Alterna's Life Volumizing Shampoo,, $17.10, as well as their Life Volumizing Conditioner, $18.30.
Blow dry hair and set with rollers for additional volume. If you want stick straight hair like Heidi Klum's hair shown above, then before blow drying add a drop of Phytodefrisant Botanical Hair Relaxing Balm to add shine, protect hair from heat and control frizz. Wait 20 minutes in the rollers for hair to set.
Gently take out the rollers and begin to lightly backcomb the crown of your hair. Then, smooth it over with a soft brush, I like the Mason Pearson all boar bristle brush. Keep in mind, don't tease your hair too much. You don't want to have extreme lift at the crown, just a little is perfect.
Next, secure just the middle section of the crown with a skinny barrette or two bobby pins. Overlap the pins so they create an "X". Smooth the rest of your hair.
Lastly, spray your entire head with a fine mist of hairspray to keep all of your hard work in place! A new hairspray that I've just discovered is called Masterpiece Massive Shine Hairspray by Tigi, $15.75. Try it and let me know what you think!

Do You Pack Your Own Hairdryer When You Travel?

BellaSugarUK — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 04:00:00 -0700

Most hotels have websites that list their amenities, and more often than not in these modern times, in-room blow dryers are on offer. I however, always choose to pack my own because I'm completely addicted to it's power, quick drying ability and of course, the savior nozzle that concentrates the air to magically cut down on frizz and flyaways.

I also pack my own hair conditioner, even though that's usually available because I don't like the way some conditioners leave my hair feeling brittle, dry and snarly.

It's time now for you to confess your travel beauty quirks. Do you pack your own hair dryer on holiday? Vote below to let me know!

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 06:00:00 -0700

Halloween is the time of year to live out your hair and makeup fantasies. Let loose next Saturday night and let yourself get creative, or simply put a modern spin on the classics by dressing up as a sexy kitty cat, a feisty devil, a fairy princess or a movie or TV witch.

Then you have your icons like Cleopatra and Twiggy, or perhaps you fancy looking like a pop star. Why not channel Amy Winehouse, David Bowie or even Lily Allen?

Lily is constantly pushing the boundaries of typically pretty makeup onstage. Instead she opts for rock-chick glam. Shop this look below and find some great glitter eye makeup, false lashes and purple lipstick!

Trend Alert: Pasty White Faces for Spring

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 05:30:00 -0700

Now that Paris Fashion Week is finally over, it's time to round up another beauty trend from the hottest fashion shows that France has to offer. Red lips have been and will always be in style, as will sexy, bed head hair. But a little more fashion forward and racy is next season's modern take on the white Geisha face.

At the Alexander McQueen show, faces were painted a sparkly, almost iridescent white colour. At John Galliano for Christian Dior, skin was uber pale and accentuated with dark plummy lips and eyes, and at the Tim Hamilton show, faces and lips were a sheer white shade. I don't know if I'd be brave enough to rock this trend, but it sure does make a statement. How about you - would you ever paint your face white for a party other than Halloween?

The Invention of Lying: Sweet, but Unsteady

BuzzSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 05:45:37 -0700

In his Hollywood directorial debut, Ricky Gervais takes us to an alternate universe where honesty makes the world go round. It's not just that lie-telling is an impossibility; everyone can't help but speak their minds at all times, no matter how personal, embarrassing, or brutal their innermost thoughts may be. The premise of The Invention of Lying is rife for comedy, but the film is also a commentary on religion and has its sad moments as well.

The film tells the story of Mark Bellison, an average joe who just can't seem to get ahead in a world where his mediocrity is ridiculed day after day. His co-workers can't stand him and women reject him based on his looks alone. When he loses his job as a screenwriter, Mark is ready to give up - until he mysteriously becomes the world's first liar.

To see what else I thought of the film, just read more.

Ricky Gervais stars as Mark, living in a world that's mostly free of flair, frills, and aesthetics. Mark's house and office are plain and boring, complementing his every-day appearance. Those who stand out are the people who are naturally attractive, like the object of Mark's affections, Anna (Jennifer Garner) and his snarky co-worker Brad (Rob Lowe). Anna can't help but show her shallow side on her first date with Mark. She immediately rejects him on the basis that she doesn't want to have "fat, snub-nosed" children someday and must find a "better genetic match." Once Mark starts to stretch his newfound talent though, he decides he can have whatever he wants - and begins a quest to win Anna's affections.

Gervais surprised me with his performance because he finally takes a break from his typical British dry humor. As affable, down-on-his-luck Mark, Gervais proves that he doesn't need his signature sarcasm to be witty. The most important scene of the movie requires a lot of raw emotion from Gervais, and he absolutely nails it, showcasing a sweet side that we rarely see from the actor.

There are two major aspects of the movie that wore me down: the cameos and the product placement. I love a good celebrity appearance, but after Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ed Norton, and Jason Bateman pop in, it starts to feel like Gervais is trying to use his comical buddies to keep the storyline afloat when it starts to lose focus. Seeing a familiar face is always fun, but this isn't a Judd Apatow movie.

The product placement is funny and fitting at first; there's not much room for advertising in a world of stark truth. With only a reputation to rely on, Coke and Pepsi are left with the slogans "It's very famous" and "When they don't have Coke," respectively. The film goes way overboard from there though, and suddenly Mark is surrounded by Budweiser bottles at all times and at the film's climax he's standing in front of a group clutching a pair of cardboard Pizza Hut boxes.

The movie's biggest problem is that it tries to appeal to too many genres. It's packaged as a comedy, but Mark becomes a god-like character once the world gets wind of his lies. His peers literally take everything he says as gospel, and Mark becomes a blatant modern-day Moses (complete with long hair and beard). Just as the audience begins to wonder where it's all going, the movie quickly ditches the religious aspect and finishes up as a love story. The ending is satisfactory, but what's the point of satirizing religion when it doesn't hold much water for the overall message of the movie?

Like I said, the premise is rife for comedy and starts us down a path that's packed with laughs - I just wish Invention of Lying didn't wander off before finding its way back home.
