Britain's Got Talent Finalists: Aiden Davis and Hollie Steele

PopSugarUK — Sat, 30 May 2009 02:02:19 -0700

Yesterday was the last semi-final of Britain's Got Talent, with the absolutely fantastic young dancer Aiden Davis deservedly getting the public vote, and nervous young singer Hollie Steele getting the judges' nod to go through to tonight's big final! Other acts that performed were cuddly dancers The Dreambears, singing family Good Evans, juggler Luke Clements, singer and guitarist Mark Matcham, dance troupe DCD Seniors and soprano Greg Pritchard. It was an emotional night as young Hollie's nerves got the better of her and she had to stop her song, but Simon stepped in and demanded that she should be given a second chance. Check out the Aiden and Hollie's performances below and let me know if you think they deserve their places in the final!

Don't forget to check back over all the performances of the Britain's Got Talent finalists before tonight's show! To see Hollie's first and second attempt, plus Simon putting his foot down so she got her second chance, just read more.

The Price Is Right (Re-Cut Sopranos Style)

GiggleSugar — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 07:00:00 -0700

Last week was a sad week in television. The finale episode of "The Sopranos" aired on Sunday and Bob Barker took his final bow as host of "The Price Is Right" on Friday. While "The Sopranos" left everyone frustrated and wanting more, more, more, the "The Price Is Right" did its usual thing: more games, more prizes, more...wait, how'd it end?

Sopranos Cast Takes Break From Shooting to Celebrate

Molly — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 16:01:45 -0700

The long (loooong) wait for the end of the 6th and final season of the Sopranos is finally almost over, and the stars of the hyper popular show were out on the red carpet yesterday to celebrate. Even as a casual Sopranos fan, it's sad to see the end of the phenomenon on the horizon. I can only imagine that it's quite bittersweet for the legions of fanatics. For a sneak peek of the highly secret upcoming season, which premieres April 8, just click here.

All the women looked gorgeous at the NY premiere party -- Jamie Lynn's dress in particular was stunning -- and the men showed that their characters aren't the only sharp dressers (you know, other than the track suit uniform). It's also nice to see Drea on the carpet even though Adriana kicked it last season. Perhaps there's a dream sequence/flashback in the cards?

Jamie-Lynn About to Explore Life Outside The Meadow

PopSugar — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 07:45:46 -0700

Jamie-Lynn Sigler donned a lot of black leather to shoot some of her very last scenes for The Sopranos. The actress rose to stardom and grew up on the HBO series, so naturally she has mixed feelings about the final season. Jamie-Lynn recently opened up about growing up on the set and playing the mob boss' daughter. Here's more:

“When it started,” she says, “I was playing a teenage girl who wasn’t getting along with her mom and was frustrated by her dad and annoyed by her brother. It wasn’t something very far-fetched for me to play.”

“After playing this character for so long and having grown up with her in so many ways, I love her,” Sigler makes clear. “But there are many times when I don’t like her.”

“I’ll never be on another show like this. And now, it’s like graduating from high school. We’re getting ready to enter into the unknown.”

We're just as sad as Jamie-Lynn to say goodbye to The Sopranos, but we can't wait to see how it all ends. As for her career, we have a feeling coming from such an award winning show she'll be able to find some new jobs pretty quickly.

Jamie-Lynn is Sad to Say Bye to Meadow

PopSugar — Sun, 07 Jan 2007 09:44:34 -0800

Jamie-Lynn was just one of many celebs who flocked to South Beach for some sun and a weekend of NYE celebrations. We're so excited The Sopranos will be back for its 7th season this spring, but are super sad it will be the show's final season. Jamie-Lynn is sad to be saying good bye to her HBO family as well. She said,

"I don't think any of us are (ready for the show to end). It's bittersweet. I know I'll never have an experience like this again. Some of the cast and crew had become my closest friends and they've seen me through a lot. So I'm trying to appreciate everything even more. But it's been almost 10 years. I could be 35 playing Meadow and I'd still be 'the daughter'. It's sad and a little scary, but as much as I have the kind of personality where I like to have control over everything."

Wonder what life after The Sopranos will bring for Jamie-Lynn. In the meantime, she enjoyed her new year Miami vacation and theres lots more pics of her hitting the beach so read more

Why Be Famous When You Can Be Almost Famous?

YumSugar — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 16:13:31 -0800

Before you can be famous, you need to be almost famous. The folks at S.Pellegrino understand this concept and are giving more than 60 culinary students the opportunity to claim their fame. In the 6th Annual S.Pellegrino Almost Famous Competition, students work their way to the finals by competing in regional contests. More than 30 top culinary schools in the US and Canada are participating and students will be given the opportunity to go head-to-head against each other in front of a panel of judges.

Once they've excelled in their region, they are able to proceed to the final event at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in Napa Valley. The event takes place March 7–10 and consists of three categories: Harvest Mystery Basket, Signature Dish, and People's Choice. This year the event will be hosted by Top Chef season-one-winner Harold Dieterle and Sopranos star Lorraine Bracco.

When asked about the competition Harold said:

"The restaurant industry has all the qualities of a real-life competition. Almost Famous sets up these young
chefs to feel comfortable and thrive in these high-pressure situations, which is why so many of the students leave the competition and go on to work for some of the best restaurants in the country."

This indeed may be true. Last year's winner, Ranbir Batra, was able to experience work opportunities he never would have had otherwise, including working alongside Sara Moulton. In addition to new culinary adventures, the overall winner will receive a $10,000 cash prize.
