Katy and Co. Give Us an Amazing MTV EMA Show

PopSugarUK — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:28:25 -0800

After the women and men arrived on the red carpet for the MTV EMAs they all took their seats for the ceremony. Green Day kicked off the show and then Katy Perry did an awesome medley of the Best Song nominees. The show was full of great performances, like Beyonce in red suspenders, Jay-Z's amazing NYC backdrop, Foo Fighters rocking out and Shakira showing off her drumming. Pete Wentz observed he was a foot shorter than Bar Refaeli as they presented an award, and Katy interrupted Kanye's nomination clip in a nod back to the VMAs.

Katy made loads of costume changes, from full skirts with holes, cheeky sheer tops and a West Ham kit with Rusty emblazened on it in honour of her beau's Twitter handle and football team. David Hasselhoff, Backstreet Boys, Brody Jenner, Miranda Cosgrove, Jesse Metcalfe and Juliette Lewis presented awards to winners like U2, who performed at Brandenburg Gate with Jay-Z for the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Jonas Brothers presented a fan tribute to Michael Jackson, Tokio Hotel brought flames to the stage and Leona Lewis was surrounded by mist. Check out the full list of winners here and videos here!

Johnny Depp Steps Out to Appreciate Art

Molly — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 05:00:00 -0800

Johnny Depp has been laying low as usual recently, but he smiled and posed at Frank Pictures Gallery where the work of artists Kellisimone Waits and Tiffany Trenda was being shown in Santa Monica on Sunday. Kellisimone's father, Tom Waits, is a friend of Johnny's and a costar in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Johnny hit the stage to accept an award and hand one out to Keith Richards at last month's Scream Awards, but otherwise Depp's been hard at work on a handful of movies including the anticipated Alice in Wonderland - check out the awesome new poster for it here! He's also rumored to be taking on a new role in The Tourist that comes with a sexy costar, Angelina Jolie. No matter what Johnny's up to, he always keeps it interesting from his movie choices to his signature style.

Elle Pays Tribute to Cover Star Women in Hollywood

PopSugarUK — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 02:11:22 -0700

Elle magazine hosted its annual Women in Hollywood Tribute at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills last night, and gorgeous British women rubbed shoulders with their American counterparts. Cat Deeley kept it classic in an LBD and L'Oreal Paris Legend Award recipient Julie Andrews was elegant in her black floor-length frock. All five November cover stars were in attendance, with Renee Zellweger dazzling in bright red, Emily Blunt cute in a nude number and Katie Holmes daring in a sheer black outfit alongside fellow cover stars Julianne Moore and Zoe Saldana. John Krasinski joined his fiancée to her celebrate, and Emily told Elle:

"I feel the fear of the business creep under my skin in L.A. in a way that it doesn’t in England. It’s funny – I feel like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, unless you’re in Hollywood! It’s shameful how you have to look a certain way. Women are simply not allowed to grow old gracefully. That’s why I love playing character parts, because I’m not pigeonholed into trying to remain young forever to play the ingénue or romantic lead."

My girl FabUK wants to know do you love or hate Emily's look?

London and Rome Host Film Stars Including Honest George

PopSugarUK — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:58:33 -0700

Several actors walked the red carpet this weekend at the London Film Festival and Rome Film Festival. Nicholas Hoult, Tom Ford, Colin Firth and Matthew Goode looked handsome in their suits at the premiere for A Single Man in London, and the capital also saw the premiere of Viggo Mortensen's The Road. Helen Mirren was in Rome for the The Last Station, and Terry Gilliam and Lily Cole were also in Italy for The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus premiere. Director Jason Reitman was in London for the premiere of Up in the Air on Sunday, having joined George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis for the Rome premiere the night before! As part of his promotion for his films, George has opened up about his relationships and growing old:

On relationships: "I’ve had some absolutely great relationships and some not so great relationships. I’ve been in some relationships where I’ve felt terribly alone. Just because you’re with someone it doesn’t mean you’re incredibly happy and complete. I’ve had some easy and natural, made-sense breakups as well as some rough ones. I deal with them the same way we all do: I’m successful with some and not so successful with others."
On getting older: "I’m kind of comfortable with getting older because it’s better than the other option, which is being dead. So I’ll take getting older. It’s an interesting thing to be able to watch yourself grow older on screen. I was watching Up In The Air and I thought, ‘Jesus, who’s the old, grey-haired guy?’ And it was me."

George also revealed he played a prank on Matt Damon to make his pal think he was gaining weight, and is working on a prank for his next victim Brad Pitt!

Ask Casa: Framing Fine Photography

CasaSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:00:13 -0800

Hi Casa,

I am adding, for the first time ever, fine photography to my apartment. However I am at a loss when it comes to framing styles and arrangement.

One set of four photographs is horizontally-oriented and black-and-white. I'd like this set in my bedroom but don't know how to arrange them so they look more interesting seeing that they're all horizontal. Tips? Regarding framing them, I'd like to know which types of frames (color, matting, etc.) you recommend for my room seeing that the walls are white but most of the accessory pieces in my room are either antique brown wood or a few wood pieces I've painted bright coral and Yves Klein blue. Are white frames my best bet? Can you frame b&w photographs in brown wood?

The other set of photographs are two color photographs, also horizontally-oriented, that will be nearly facing each other on opposite walls. Tips on framing, matting, and color? They need not match, do they?

I appreciate any tips you might be able to offer me!

Best,
Daniela

Hi Daniela,

How exciting! First of all, I wouldn't worry too much about making them "look more interesting" - adding fine art to your home will instantly give it a face-lift regardless of how it's arranged! But, I'll give you a few tips.

As for color, I do think white frames are your best bet. They won't compete with the artwork, and they go with everything. But, you can also go with silver or stainless steel for a more contemporary look. And yes, you can definitely frame black and white photography in brown wood. Another option is to use frameless glass clip frames, which have a more contemporary, minimal look.

I'd say for the set of four photographs, keep the frames cohesive. If you want to choose two different mat colors for the set, you can do that to give it a little edge. But don't get too crazy, maybe go with a gray mat.

For the set of two color photographs, go with a white or off-white mat. For the frames themselves, you can do two different colors or finishes if you like seeing as they'll be on different walls. Select colors that will make the images pop. But make sure the two colors don't clash.

As for arrangements, one option is to use picture ledges. This style allows you to easily move around your photography when it's feeling stale. You can also add a smaller piece of artwork, or even a knickknack, to play with scale. A layering effect (setting one frame slightly in front of the other) is nice, too.

You can't go wrong with a box-shaped arrangement. Just make sure you keep them evenly spaced.

You can also hang two rows of frames a bit off-kilter from one another. It should be enough that the arrangement doesn't look like a mistake, but not too much that the bottom frame is hung between the top two. If you choose an off-kilter arrangement, make sure the distance between the top two frames and between the bottom two frames is the same.

Or, if you happen to have a really long wall, you can hang the four of them side by side. This will give you more of an art gallery effect.

Hope that helps!
Cheers, Casa

Which Lip Colour Looks the Nicest on Thandie Newton?

BellaSugarUK — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:30:00 -0800

Last night at the 2012 Los Angeles Premiere, Thandie Newton wowed the red carpet with sleek hair and bold red lips. Below, we also see her pictured in nude lipstick at a Calvin Klein party in New York City, and back in June, she was photographed at the annual Summertime Serpentine Gallery party in Hyde Park with bright pink lips. The British actress can pull off just about any look, as she has gorgeous, milk chocolate skin and delicate features, but if you had to pick which lipstick colour you like most, which would it be?

Miley Cyrus and Samantha Play Style Snap on SATC2 Set!

PopSugarUK — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:55:00 -0700

Miley Cyrus filmed her Sex and the City 2 cameo last night in New York city, where a number of the established cast were also ready to shoot. Sarah Jessica Parker was looking groomed under her big coat to ward off the chill, while Mario Cantone, Willie Garson, Chris Noth and gorgeous Jason Lewis ensured that the men were outnumbering the ladies for once! Kim Cattrall was also on set, and judging by the boots it looks like Samantha and Miley may be pulling a Pink and Shakira at the VMAs with their matching outfits! I can't wait to see how it plays out on the big screen!
