Do You Know Your Drink Toasts Around the World?

YumSugar — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 05:50:27 PDT

The onset of Summer means many things: road trips, picnics, barbecues, watermelon . . . and weddings. Rarely does a June or July pass by when I'm not at or in a wedding celebration. Since lots of wedding toasts are to be had this time of year, I thought I'd put your multicultural toasting skills to the test. Do you know how to say "Cheers!" in every language? There's only one way to find out!

Popwatch's Michael Slezak makes a darn good argument that Jessica Simpson's version of "These Boots Were Made for Walking" is the worst cover of all time. Do you think there's a cover song that tops that one?

Earlier this week we kicked off travel week with a post on how to toast in various different languages. If you found that fun, then you are really going to enjoy these cheers wine glasses from CB2. The set of 6 is available for $19.95 and come with the following phrases: Prost, Salud, Le'Chaim, Cheers, Kampai, and A Votre Sante. This modern dishwasher-safe glassware would act as an amazing conversation starter at any party.

Cheers To Traveling!

partysugar — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 04:34:39 PDT

We ran our first installment of travel week a few months ago, and had so much fun we wanted to do it again! This week we'll bring you recipes from around the world, so be prepared for tasty dishes from awesome places. To get you prepared for our journey we thought it would be fun to learn how to toast in different languages. When traveling, knowing how to say "cheers" in the language of your destination country is a great way to meet people, converse with waiters and bartenders and show the locals that you have embraced the customs.

In China they say Ganbei which translates literally to mean "dry glass."
In France they say A votre santé which translates as "to your health."

In Germany they say Prosit which means, "Here's to you."
In Poland they say Na zdrowie whose translation is, "to your health."
In Spain and Mexico they say Salud which translates to mean "health."
In Korea they say Konbai which literally translates to mean "Bottoms up."
In Italy they say Salute , meaning "to your health."
In Ireland they say Slainte which means "cheers."
In Armenia they say Genatz, also meaning "cheers."
In Israel they say L'chaim which translates literally to mean "to life."
In Costa Rica they say Pura vida which means, "pure life."
In Greece they say Sto ieo sou meaning, "to your health."

Please help me out with the list! If you know how to say cheers in a language that's not mentioned, tell us all below!

The Results Are In: Recast "Cheers"

BuzzSugar — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 10:23:22 PST

For last week's Recast challenge, I asked you guys to tackle the long-running and brilliantly enduring sitcom "Cheers." The actors who played these colorful, oddly familiar characters really helped make the show what it was, but BuzzSugar readers came up with some fitting replacements who could honor the show's legacy.

The versatile Hugh Laurie surfaced twice: once as Frasier on Staceygirl's list and again when BeanBagChair picked him to play Cliff. I also really loved Staceygirl's choices of Janeane Garafalo for Carla and Paul Giamatti as Norm. But the No. 1 Recast spot this week goes to ChiTownEm. I particularly love her choice for Sam Malone, but does Chris Klein give anyone else the heebie-jeebies? To see her picks and the "new" cast photo,

ChiTownEm's "Cheers" Cast
Sam - Vince Vaughn
Diane - Reese Witherspoon
Carla - Drea de Matteo
Norm - Kevin Smith
Cliff - Will Ferrell
Frasier - Sacha Baron Cohen
Woody - Chris Klein

Channing Tatum and His Magic Mike Costars Go Shirtless For EW

Becky Kirsch — Thu, 17 May 2012 17:00:18 PDT

The stars of Magic Mike will show the world their strippin' moves when the film hits theaters in June, and a handful of the guys are giving us a sneak peek on this week's cover of Entertainment Weekly. Leading man Channing Tatum is joined by costars Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello, and Matt Bomer for a hot photo shoot, and of course, an interview. Once you're done ogling the eye candy, here are a few highlights from the interview:

Tatum on the vibe on set: "Actors, generally, if we finish our scenes early one day, we go home. It wasn't like that on this set. Especially during the dances - we were there cheering everybody on."
Tatum on McConaughey getting his thong ripped off by rowdy fans: "It was a collection of women being like, 'I have to tip him,' and then the weight of all the dollar bills in their hands just took [his thong] off."
Manganiello on how True Blood prepped him: "When I came in for a meeting with the casting director, she hadn't seen True Blood. So she said, 'Are you going to be comfortable with partial nudity?' And I go, 'Have you seen my show? I'm the poster child for that.'"
