Watch the Full Version of James Franco and Anne Hathaway Taking On Grease

Becky Kirsch — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 09:00:29 PST

Last week James Franco teased us when he tweeted a video of himself and Anne Hathaway channeling Sandy and Danny in Grease, but the performance ended up on the cutting-room floor. Though the number didn't make it into last night's Oscars, you can still see what could have been with the Oscar hosts' full song-and-dance number to "You're the One That I Want." Anne's musical number was one of our personal highlights of the night, but after hearing James's voice, maybe it's better this clip didn't make it into the show.

Fab Ad: Giuseppe Zanotti, Fall '10

FabSugar — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 06:50:22 PDT

Bull's-eye, every time. Giuseppe Zanotti's footwear ads tug on my fashion heartstrings. They're always so fun, fabulous, and sexy. And Anja Rubik, shot by Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, is the beautiful beast for the brand. Even though we loved stepping on male model Andrés Velencoso Segura in the Spring ads, Anja's greaser babe is perfection. And wasn't I just boasting the highly effective use of leopard and red? Throw some black leather, spandex, and jackpot heels into that mix and it's grease lightning.

Little DIYs - Backsplash and Doormat

Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member Nikkeeb of the Su Casa group:

These are silly, but thought I'd share anyway. My husband was going nuts with the grease popping onto our kitchen walls, and I was going nuts in our all white boring kitchen, so I made this out of a window from Ikea's As Is section, paint, and the cutest fabric at Hancock:

To see another cool customized project from Nikkeeb,

And we needed an outdoor rug for our entrance as everyone kept tracking dirt in, but those things are overpriced! So I got the Ikea Sindal coir rug, enamel spray paint, and masking tape. I contemplated a more customized one such as "Welcome to the *our last name*s," but I don't think that's our style. But obviously this would be a great way to say exactly what you want how you want it. Maybe even get a colorful outdoor rug? Here's our minimalist one:

Have you done any before and after projects of your own lately? Be sure to share photos and tales with our Su Casa group!

Casa Quickie: Banishing Grease Stains

CasaSugar — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:00:53 PDT

If you've been known to down a french fry or 100, you may have encountered a bummer of a grease stain on your Sunday best. Don't worry, this fashion crisis isn't unmanageable; it's actually fairly simple to repair. All you have to do to rid yourself of evidence of that munchie meal is sprinkle some baby powder or corn starch onto the stain, and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, brush it off and wash it as usual. The stain should disappear as quickly as those french fries did. Voilà! Now, off to In & Out burger for course two . . .

Painting with French Fry Grease

GiggleSugar — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 07:00:00 PDT

I've heard of grease paints, but this is ridiculous! Some dude painted a wall using only the grease from a large order of french fries. The finished product is no ketchup painted Ronald McDonald, but it's still drop-dead impressive, in a heart attack sort of way. To think that people actually eat this...(Thanks, College Humor!)

What's Buzzworthy: First Albums

BuzzSugar — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 11:00:00 PDT

Bookmarking all your old first albums for this week's Buzzworthy challenge seemed like it was a fun way to think back on those first few albums you chose as a hip kid (well, you probably thought you were super hip at the time!). It was often hilarious to peruse the titles you bookmarked, especially since I'd forgotten all about some of these musicians! Others (like The Backstreet Boys) continue to haunt us to this day with their "comebacks." Yeesh. Here are some of the albums that stood out to me, and after the jump you can check out a widget with all the albums that were bookmarked.

Debbie Gibson, Out of the Blue
firedancyr7's paragraph accompanying this Buzzworthy selection is hilariously familiar: "Imagine me as an 8 year old kid with a side pony-tail and HUGE earings that no 8 year old should be wearing with ripped calf length black tights under a hot pink ruffled skirt, two pairs of socks so the crazy colors on both could show AND my purple jellies that made me feel like I was wearing princess shoes. I would dance around the room singing 'Only In My Dreams' as if I had written the song itself. Don't you kind of miss that wholesome childhood pop?"

INXS, Kick
auroraforever clearly loved this album when she was younger. As she says, "I literally wore this tape out I played it so many times."

More great first albums if you

Grease
I'm pretty sure preteen girls still screech along to "Summer Nights" at junior high dances today. Sweet Tea says this about her bookmark: "The first album that I made my parents buy me...I wore out their first LP - I still know all of these songs by heart."

Counting Crows, August and Everything After
darkbeauty chose this album, saying, "I loved this album then and I still love it now."

U2, War
A woman of my own heart, Advah selected this title and writes, "I've been a massive U2 fan for over 14 years now, and I remember being incredibly proud when I managed to gather enough money to go and buy my very first album, which was War, to listen to on my very first stereo (which was actually my big brother's old stereo). I seriously love this album, it still sounds amazing, and I still get nostalgy goosebumps every time I listen to it!"

The Results Are In: Recast Grease!

BuzzSugar — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 16:44:45 PDT

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

When recasting these iconic movies, it's so hard to find actors who could live up to the roles made classic by the original performers, but all of you who submitted lists did well to retain the spirit of Grease with your picks! I thought the much-suggested idea of putting Zooey Deschanel in the role of Rizzo was super fun. Christina Ricci would make an excellent Rizzo as well because, as CaterpillarGirl says of her idea, she is the bad girl.

I also loved a lot of the names put forth for Danny, like prbeachbum's James Franco, Wilmer Valderrama as suggested by alynn, and legaeagle's idea to use James Marsden. Finally, many of the ideas for Principal McGee were fantastic, and I especially liked roseannadanna's pick of Allison Janney, along with the ultimate musical dame Julie Andrews, as suggested by Atatakai Sunshine.

Overall, however, this week I most enjoyed Arienne's recast list! To see who Arienne picked, along with a new cast photo,

Arienne's cast
Sandy: Amanda Seyfried
Danny: Adrian Grenier
Rizzo: Anne Hathaway
Frenchy: Britany Murphy
Kenickie: Ryan Phillippe
Principal McGee: Stockard Channing
