Vanessa Williams Dishes on Botox and More

BellaSugar — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 07:00:06 -0700

On Tuesday, I met with Vanessa Williams to talk about her recent Emmy nomination for Ugly Betty, fish pedicures, and Botox. Vanessa, who has always been very open about her use of the wrinkle-fighting drug, is currently making a few stops throughout the country for the Botox Cosmetic: Express Success Campaign, an educational tour that benefits the Dress For Success organization.

Have you ever wondered why Vanessa took the leap and admitted she uses Botox, or how it affects her ability to act? Find the answers and learn about some of her unexpected hobbies after the jump.

Vanessa Williams on Aging and Fish Pedicures

You might have caught a glimpse of Vanessa Williams's sense of humor in the first installment of my interview with her, in which we discussed her use of Botox, along with her love of cars, Irish music, and baking carrot cakes.

Currently, in conjunction with the Dress For Success organization, Vanessa is making a few appearances for the Botox Cosmetic: Express Success Campaign, and in October, we'll be seeing her back on the air as the villainous Wilhelmina Slater on the much-loved Ugly Betty. And now, as promised, there's more from Vanessa after the jump.

Movie Preview: Amanda Seyfried in Letters to Juliet

BuzzSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:30:33 -0800

Amanda Seyfried's latest film Letters to Juliet looks like a mash up of her other work. First off, her character's name is Sophie, which brings Mamma Mia to mind, as does the romantic foreign locale. But even the title itself made me do a double-take - wait, isn't she already doing a book-turned-film about letters called Dear John?! Still, I'm not writing it off just yet. (No pun intended). I can be a sucker for a love story, even if it's a bit sappy.

The film follows Seyfried as an American tourist who discovers an unanswered "letter to Juliet" while on a trip in Verona, Italy. (The notes are left by visitors asking for help from Shakespeare's famous heroine.) She responds to the plea, and then sets off to find its author (Vanessa Redgrave) and reunite her with the man she left decades before. Of course, there's a triangle in there too, as Sophie begins to question her own relationship with her fiance (Gael Garcia Bernal) and falls for the woman's grandson (Christopher Egan).

The trailer pretty much gives away the whole movie, but this sort of storyline is usually predictable so I'll forgive the studio for it. Bonus for Taylor Swift fans: her "Love Story" is the theme song. The film doesn't arrive in theaters until May, but check it out and tell me what you think when you read more.

BellaSugar — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 16:00:16 -0700

Finally, the new FLIRT! line of limited-edition cosmetics by Vanessa Minnillo is available to the masses! We've been waiting for this day ever since we heard the buzz back in March and saw the video of her FLIRT! photo shoot in April. The collection consists of two eye shadow palettes ($15) and two complementary lip gloss Duos ($13.50).

Vanessa chose her 'go-to' favorite color families-bronze and purple-as the two color options for her collection. The first eye shadow palette, Chic Bronze includes four shimmery and creamy shadows in the brown/nuetral family. This goes best with her Squeeze Me Lip Gloss Duo in Mulberry Marvel/Sweet Soiree.

The second eyeshadow palette, Party Purple is made up of four warm pink and plum shadows which look super flirty with Squeeze Me Lip Gloss Duo in Berry/Pink Champagne!

I'm a sucker for purples, so I can't wait to check these out. Do you think you'll try Vanessa's makeup?

2009 Primetime Emmy Awards: Vanessa Williams

BellaSugar — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 18:28:59 -0700

Back in July, when I had the chance to interview Vanessa Williams, I couldn't help but notice the actress's stunning, steely, blue-gray eyes. And tonight, she put the focus on those famous peepers with a shimmery champagne shadow on the lids and a deep smoky brown in the creases. As for her hair, she wears it down in a cascade of curls, her warm-toned highlights peeking through. She's up for an award for her work on Ugly Betty this evening, and I'm sure many of you are hoping for a win for the longtime actress. But when it comes to Vanessa's hair and makeup tonight, do you give it a winning review?

The Grammys Red Carpet: Vanessa Minnillo

Vanessa has arrived looking sparkly and stunning as ever in this short number. She has really transformed herself into quite the lil' style maven lately. I love this look. I think if it were long it would be too much, but as a cocktail dress, she looks rockin' and ready to party. What do you guys think?
