Twilight Takes Over The 2009 MTV Movie Awards!

PopSugarUK — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 03:45:55 -0700

The MTV Movie Awards took place in LA last night, hosted by American comedian Andy Samberg, with the Twilight cast stealing the show for many reasons! Robert Pattinson chose to skip the red carpet, going straight into the venue, while his castmates posed for photos and signed autographs. Then inside they won five awards for the movie, including Breakthrough Male for Robert Pattinson, Best Kiss and Best Movie, while Kristen Stewart dropped her Best Female Performance award while accepting it. Sacha Baron Cohen attended in character as Bruno, flying from the ceiling with wings on his back, and ending up in Eminem's lap. Eminem left the venue shortly afterwards... oops! High School Musical 3 was another big winner, taking three awards, and star Zac Efron presented the MTV Generation award to Ben Stiller!

What to Netflix: Weekend Edition!

BuzzSugar — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 13:30:58 -0800

Usually the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays, but there are a handful of big releases out today so I thought I'd alert you. Today, just like I do each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I'm sorting through the best of the batch to suggest some additions for your queue.

The Duchess
I'm glad this sumptuous movie is out on DVD because it's so beautiful to look at. The costumes in this period drama starring Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes are gorgeous and the rest of the movie is pretty good too.

Knightley plays Georgiana, wife of William Cavendish (Fiennes), the Duke of Devonshire. While their relationship grows bitter in private, Georgiana starts to become quite popular in public and immerses herself in the world of politics and high society. As her husband puts other women between them, Georgiana finds herself falling in love with a young politician, Charles Grey (Dominic Cooper). However, the threat of scandal proves too great for the Duke and Duchess, and a relationship with Charles is forbidden.

Special features include a featurette titled, "Georgiana in Her Own Words," the making of the movie, and a costume diary.

Two more up next so read more.

Ghost Town
Aw, Ricky Gervais. This comedy wasn't the smash hit that someone of his talent deserves but it's an easygoing and sometimes bittersweet comedy all the same.

Gervais plays dentist Bertram Pincus, an ornery, solitary man who comes out of a medical procedure to discover that he died briefly during it. His momentary death gives him the ability to see people who have died but who are still hanging out on Earth because they have unfinished business. One such restless soul is Frank (Greg Kinnear) who needs Bertram to prevent Frank's widow, Gwen (Tea Leoni), from remarrying. This is a good pick for something to watch with the family if you're still hanging around with them til the New Year.

Special features include commentary from Gervais and the making of the movie.

Eagle Eye
This is one of the most intense-looking DVD covers I've seen in awhile. In fact it's kind of stressing me out, which is about the right vibe for this movie. I actually thought this movie was rather thrilling, even if the actual stuff going on in the plot is a wee bit preposterous.

Shia LaBeouf plays Jerry Shaw, a slacker with low ambitions and little money. The sudden death of his estranged twin brother Ethan sets off a series of baffling occurrences for Jerry, starting with a strange woman contacting him on the phone just as he's being set up to look like a terrorist. Oh, this is only the beginning, though! Michelle Monaghan is also in this movie and she and LaBeouf make a surprisingly adorable onscreen pair.

Special features include a gag reel and a photo gallery.

Coachella: Wish I Was There

PopSugarUK — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 08:27:42 -0700

As much as I love London, I really wish I could have spent the weekend at the Coachella music festival in Indio, California. The lineup was insanely good with everyone from Prince to Kate Nash performing to thousands. As expected, with such an awesome lineup, there were plenty of celebs on and off stage, including Sienna Miller, Agyness Deyn, Mark Ronson and Kelly Osbourne who stayed on from the US NME Awards last week – probably tempted by the fact it's a music festival where you don't have to worry about getting trenchfoot.

Cute Hollywood guys Shia LeBeouf and Elijah Wood were also in the audience for the myriad of awesome acts including Sia, Rilo Kiley and Yelle.

To see more of our eclectic gallery, including Alicia Silverstone, Jamie from the Klaxons, Steven Tyler, Ricky Wilson, The Breeders, Allison Goldfrapp and others, just read more

2008 Kids' Choice Awards: And the Kids' Choices Are . . .

BuzzSugar — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 23:55:42 -0700

Big stars! Lots of slime! Silly good times had by all! It can only mean one thing: Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards were back yet again over the weekend, and I have to say, I'm impressed with the turnout. Big stars walked the orange carpet to promote big films, including Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf, who showed up to get the kids pumped for the return of Indiana Jones.

However, to this crowd of tweens, no one - not even Harrison - could hold a candle to the superstar bonanza that is Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. Apparently the screams were off the hook (as the kids say) when those acts took the stage. Oh, and then there was the moment when Heidi Klum was hoisted into the air on a cable and, as Reuters put it, "had to pop balloons with spikes attached to the derriere of her jumpsuit." That's fierce.

As for the actual honorees, Cameron Diaz took home the Wannabe Award for being a role model and raising awareness about environmental issues, which is certainly a step up from her previous Kids' Choice Award for burping. To see who else the kids voted for, just read more.

The BAFTA Awards: The Winners

PopSugarUK — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 22:04:57 -0800

There were smiles all round on Sunday night, as the British Academy of Film and Television award winners were announced in London. Jonathan Ross presented the award ceremony, in place of the familiar Stephen Fry, and the gongs were split fairly evenly over the best films of last year. Out of its massive haul of fourteen nominations, Atonement picked up only two awards – although one of those was the top award of Best Film, and La Vie En Rose picked up four awards. Its star, the very sweet Marion Cotillard, unpredictably beat Brit Julie Christie to receiving the Leading Actress nod.

The Results Are In: Recast Fast Times at Ridgemont High

BuzzSugar — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 14:25:01 -0700

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

Fast Times at Ridgemont High has some fantastic characters, which makes it super fun to recast. This week's recast lists were great - from WhiplashGirlchild's ideas of Joseph Gordon-Levitt playing Brad and Hugh Laurie playing Mr. Hand, to hanako66's suggestion of Topher Grace for the part of the slimy Mike. I also thought Seth Rogen would make a great Brad, as was suggested by several people. Tnkrbelli included photos with her recast list, which was very cool. I especially liked her idea of Emile Hirsch playing Jeff Spicoli. He could easily pull off that dazed thing.

Overall, though, my favorite recast list this week comes from joielin! To see who joielin picked, along with a new cast photo, read more

joielin's cast:
Stacy - Alison Lohman
Linda - Megan Fox
Mark/"Rat" - Michael Cera
Mike - Milo Ventimiglia
Brad - Ben Savage
Mr. Hand - Wallace Shawn
Spicoli - Shia LaBeouf

The Results Are In: Recast Back to the Future

BuzzSugar — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 16:14:09 -0700

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

This week's recast challenge was a fond favorite for many of you, so I was delighted to see how thoughtful the recast lists were! Some of my favorite ideas include casting Frankie Muniz or Michael Cera as Marty McFly, as both actors have that youthful earnestness.

I also enjoyed many of the suggestions submitted for the character of Doc Brown, such as Steve Buscemi, and emei47's idea of Robert Downey Jr. Finally, selecting who should play the villainous Biff Tannen seemed to be a fun challenge for some of you, and I especially liked BunGirl's pick of Owen Wilson. BunGirl also posted her own cast photo, which I thought was awesome.
However, my favorite recast list this week comes from CocoChic! She wondered if we were casting these characters as teenagers or as adults. Because the actors in the original cast were in their 20s, I went with Coco's younger cast submission. To see who CocoChic picked along some new cast pictures, read more

CocoChic's cast:
Marty McFly - Shia LaBeouf
Doc - Johnny Depp
Lorraine McFly - Rachel McAdams
George McFly - Adam Brody
Biff Tannen - Chris Carmack

The Latest Transformers Clip Is Actually Funny

BuzzSugar — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 06:01:35 -0700

I'm not one who thinks the Transformers movie needs any more promotion, especially since the MTV Awards (a.k.a. All Transformers, All The Time) did a pretty bang-up job with it. However, I'm also not one to pass up something I really get a kick out of, so check out this clip from Transformers in which Shia LeBeouf is genuinely funny. I may be tapped out on Transformers promotion, but I'm still excited to see it.

You can see what I mean if you read more

New Transformers Trailer - Now With More Shia!

BuzzSugar — Fri, 18 May 2007 04:43:28 -0700

A brand-new Transformers trailer hit the Internet yesterday - this time with a lot more Shia LeBeouf mixed in with the cool Transformers action. I didn't know I was part 8-year-old boy, but judging by how excited I am for this movie, I've clearly tapped into something. You can check out the new trailer if you read more
