I'm already celebrating Summer with the movies in my Netflix Challenge, but I also have a hankering for something literary to bide my time. With so many adaptations in the works, there are plenty of reads to pick from — so much so that I've decided to start up my book club yet again. And I'd love for you to join me! Starting next week, I'll be cracking open a brand-new book, but I don't want Read more
Anna Faris and Chris Evans have signed on for the comedy What's Your Number?. Based on the book 20 Times a Lady by Karyn Bosnak, the story follows a young woman (Faris) who hits her "number" quota (read: the total men she's slept with), and thus, revisits her ex-boyfriends to make a relationship with one of them work. Evans is presumably stepping in to play Faris's lothario neighbor who helps her Read more
I really love watching Anna Faris onscreen. I may not have liked House Bunny as a movie, but I was completely charmed by Faris and I would love to see her carry more films that perhaps showcase her talents even more. So — today there's good news for Faris and all of her devotees: She's got two more projects coming down the pipeline. One is a romantic comedy adapted from Karyn Bosnak's novel 20 Read more
I was lucky enough to take a class taught by Manhattan-based yoga teacher Kristin McGee right here in San Francisco! Although one busy lady, Kristin traveled across the country to teach Vinyasa Vibes (a new offering at The Sports Club/LA), a flow-based, powerful yoga sequence enhanced by music. The most musical part of the practice? During Savasana, the class culminated in a live sax solo by Read more

One has a good idea of what they do, who they are, and what position they play in the company. They are savvy. They know the score. They are under no delusions, and will no doubt leave for another job long before Read more
It's hard to imagine a stoner comedy called Dude, Where's My Car? would leave such a lasting impression, but with its alien strippers, space-time continuums, and incredibly persistent drive-through workers, it's become an endlessly quotable flick. Fun fact: the title of the movie itself (probably the most recited line from the film) was grabbed from a scene in cult hit The Big Lebowski, so it was Read more

It's hard not to become giddy when talking about Julie Andrews. The legendary actress's career spans more than 50 years, with multiple generations of families still enjoying her library of work together — from Mary Poppins to The Princess Diaries. What many people don't know is that the 76-year-old Academy Award winner is also the coauthor — with her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton — of more Read more
We are pumped to share one of our favorite stories from Self here on FitSugar! She played a frumpy reporter in The Help, but in real life, Emma Stone is the epitome of young Hollywood glamour. The 24-year-old made the transition from child actor to leading lady look effortless, but Stone puts plenty of hard work into every project she tackles, including her Pilates workout. "There's not much to Read more
In addition to the following releases, Into the Abyss and Sleeping Beauty are also available. The Iron Lady Meryl Streep won the Oscar for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in this political biopic. The film spans the life of the influential prime minister, spending a fair amount of time showing Thatcher's descent into dementia but also utilizing flashbacks to her personal life at the peak of Read more
