Do You Have a Will?

babysugar — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 09:00:06 -0700

Entering parenthood means acknowledging mortality.

Prior to having children most people don't give a will much thought, but when wee ones make their debut it's important that the parents plan guardianship and allocation of their assets. Otherwise, family battles and courtroom drama can ensue.

Surprisingly, Heath Ledger did not update his will after having daughter, Matilda with former fiancee, Michelle Williams. Luckily, People reports that the deceased actor's dad Kim Ledger said,

Matilda is our absolute priority and Michelle is an integral part of our family. They will be taken care of and that's how Heath would want it to be.

Have you detailed your wishes in a will?

FabSugar — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 03:00:22 -0800

Every now and again a jewelry brand comes along whose bling you can't necessarily afford (yet), but it's too gorgeous not to look. Frey Wille is one of those companies.

It consists of a team of artists, goldsmiths, and experts of fine enameling. Their modern jewels, ranging from $300 to $945, take you on a colorful journey through historic periods of art (ancient Greece to Egypt) and through the worlds of famous artists like Claude Monet and Gustav Klimt. Each piece will go perfectly with the artsy streak in fashion. Money aside, this sounds like my kind of expedition!

How Long Are You Willing to Wait in a Black Friday Line?

Sure, Black Friday's deals can't be beaten, but obviously even the best discounts come at a price on your patience. Waiting in a long line at the register is never fun, and last year most of you said the crazy lines on Black Friday are reason enough to keep you out of stores all together. But tell me, does the same hold true for you this time around - how long are you willing to wait till you're up at the register?

PopSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:30:00 -0800

Gwyneth Paltrow was decked out last night to celebrate the opening of London's Dean Street Townhouse, a new restaurant and hotel opened by the Soho House group. It was a rare night out for Gwyneth, who seems to have settled comfortably into her weekday routine with Apple and Moses during their school year. Gwyneth is willing to shake up her schedule when it comes to supporting the efforts of her closest friends, though she'll soon be switching gears in a major way when production on The Danish Girl finally starts.

Did You Have to Talk Your Man Into Fatherhood?

babysugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:00:42 -0800

Ticktock, ticktock. As Marisa Tomei so eloquently said in her unitard and high-heeled boot attire in My Cousin Vinny, "My biological clock is tickin' like this (stomping with hands in the air), and the way this case is goin', I ain't never gettin' married." Many women anxious to get their family life started often take the lead in the baby making conversations. Men eager to be fathers may be delighted that their lady is ready and willing to enter pregnancy while some of their counterparts require some coaxing or even deception.

Did you have to twist your partner's arm into parenthood or was he raring to go?

Berlusconi's Mistress Tells Us More Than We Need to Know

TresSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:30:23 -0800

Italians really take their sex scandals to the next level. Today, Patrizia D'Addario, former call girl mistress to Italy's "I'm no saint" prime minister, adds a "lesbian dimension" to her tale of sex, power, and retaliation.

Patrizia has a book coming out and excerpts reveal that she has been the target of threats, robbery, and violence after going public about her affair with Silvio Berlusconi. But that's not stopping her. Describing a party held at Berlusconi's home, Patrizia shares the prime minister's preference for white silk pajamas and women who like other women. To see an excerpt, read more.

Patrizia writes:

"Other girls arrived, including a pair of lesbians, and a few other escorts. . . My first thought was that I'd found myself in a harem. He was on the couch and all of us, 20 girls in all, were at his disposition."

While the presence of lesbians probably seems relatively inconsequential, it might upset Italian citizens who were otherwise willing to dismiss heterosexual escapades. And as the Guardian reports, Berlusconi can say good-bye to a recent break from bad press: "The publication of D'Addario's book will divert public attention back to the affair after a period in which the focus had been on another sex scandal involving the former center-left governor of the region around Rome. Piero Marrazzo resigned after being filmed taking drugs and having sex with a transsexual." Mama mia.

Wills Parties Like a Prince and Supports Charity and Country

PopSugarUK — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:32:15 -0800

Prince William wore a casual outfit of bodywarmer, jeans and trainers for a night out at Raffles on Saturday, grinning wide as he climbed into his car after leaving the club at 3.25am. It's been a couple of months since we last saw Wills out clubbing, and just last week we spotted Kate Middleton at a film premiere. Wills has arranged his trip to New Zealand and Australia to make sure the couple will be together to celebrate Kate's 28th birthday on 9 January, as he missed her last two birthdays. It looks like Wills is doing a great job balancing his social and personal life with his official duties, and has set up the Charitable Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry, which will give grants to needy young people and wounded service personnel. As FA President, Wills has also given his backing to England's 2018 World Cup bid, saying:

"England's love for the game is world renowned. Football is in our blood. We're proud of our great cultural diversity. We will offer a warm, home-from-home welcome to all the participating teams and their supporters. As a nation, we are united behind the bid. Speaking personally, I am very proud to be supporting it. I believe, with England's great passion for the game, we will stage a World Cup to remember forever. A first-class festival of football. 1966 and football are one in England's psyche and collective memory. It is the stuff of legend. For young people like myself, who were not around to experience the pride and excitement of that time, the opportunity to live it first hand will be an enormous privilege."

Relaxed vs. Natural Hair vs. Weaves vs. Dreads

OnSugar Blog — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:02:21 -0800

Here are highlights from OnSugar blog Krissy's One Stop Beauty Spot.

Women, especially black women, have the ability to change hairstyles like underwear. I support you ladies no matter what you do - just do it right and take care of your hair. For the most part we all practice the same principles when it comes to proper hair care (co-washing, ACV rinse, trims, deep conditioning, etc.). I'm always willing to help people with hair questions and concerns, or at least point them in the right direction. I know plenty of people in that area.

Where I stand on a lot of hair issues:

I'm anti kiddie perms and kiddie dreadlocks on children if they're at an age where they can't make that choice for themselves (unless, of course, it's part of your religion). It's not about the chemicals, it's about the fact that it's a permanent hairstyle on a child. What if your child decides they want to wear their natural hair? You'll have to either cut their hair to transition them to natural hair. Yes, you can remove dreads but unless someone can find me a "safe" method that doesn't damage the hair, then I won't be changing my mind about this.
I'm pro weaves and braids as long as it's done right and your hair is still being kept healthy. If your hair is being done too tight and coming out, it's time to find a new stylist.
I'm pro curly and natural hairstyles within corporate America. I hear a lot of natural haired beauties bragging about self-acceptance and mainstreaming natural hair, but they still search for corporate hairstyles because of their natural hair. A bun will always be conservative no matter what type of hair you have.
I've always encouraged hair dialogue among women of different nationalities. You'll be surprised by the things we all have in common. If your non-black friend is telling you about a great hair balm that she pays $15 for, take her on a trip to a local beauty supply store and show her where to buy it for $5.
