Movie Preview: The House Bunny With Anna Faris

BuzzSugar — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 11:33:43 PDT

It's like Legally Blonde meets The Hottie and the Nottie, with a dash of The Girls Next Door tossed in. The House Bunny follows Anna Faris as Shelley, a Playboy bunny who finds herself "too old" to be a bunny anymore. Thrown out of Hef's mansion, she wanders onto a college campus where she discovers a sorority of "nerdy girls" and she becomes their housemother. From the trailer, it looks like she teaches them how to put on makeup and short skirts (the keys to success, apparently?) though by the end of the trailer Shelley herself seems to have learned about the benefits of being a "smart girl."

Though aspects of this movie make me cringe already, I found myself laughing out loud a few times at the trailer, despite Faris' weirdly slurry speech (anyone else notice this?). The House Bunny opens August 22. To check out the trailer,

We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy!

Spring is in the air.

OK, fine. It’s just the unseasonably warm winter.

But we’re looking ahead to one of our favorite seasons, and nothing will make us better prepared to enjoy it than some serious Spring cleaning.

Looking around and seeing your sparkling living room, free of dust bunnies at last, is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. And as we all know, happier people are less stressed and more productive, not to mention good for the economy. Besides, a clean house frees your mind to focus on more important things.

Ten Spring Cleaning Tools For Under $10

But because no one wants to spend hours scrubbing when the sun is finally starting to show its face, and the whole family just wants to be outside, we want to maximize your Spring cleaning - with expert tips that will save you time, toil, and money.

So we spoke with Melissa Homer, chief cleaning officer at MaidPro, for an efficient, organized, and - dare we say - fun start to a much fresher Spring.

1. Get Great Deals

The best part about keeping your eye out ahead of time is that you’ll have a chance to get the best deals on staples like soap and sponges.

Go ahead and set up a filter or folder in your email to keep track of electronic offers and coupons, too.

OnSugar Blog: Car-Fanatic Little Boy + Bus Divider Platter = Happy Mealtimes

OnSugar Blog — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 10:02:02 PDT

Lots of moms like to think out loud, and House of Anaïs is one of them. Here is one of the latest posts to her House of Anaïs blog.

Slowly and surely this household is moving to a greener direction. The latest aim I have is to reduce the plastic in the kitchen, namely in containers and plates. Therefore this week we are testing something cool again - the lucky tester is Mr. Hugo, the older half of my twins. He started out as the taller of the two, but the more willing eater Miss Celeste has long ago past him to the point that people now think she is a year old than her brother (difference of well over 2 inches - 6 cm at the age of 2+). Hence the question how to get him eat better?

Little Hugo is a huge fan (with capital H) of cars and trains - so much that in the nursery the cars go everywhere - and even at home one can hear his cars revving up under the comforter at bedtime and they get washed at bath time. So Hugo got this cool new plate, the stainless steel Din Din Smart bus platter from Innobaby. It's cute, fun and also it being stainless steel it is nontoxic and durable.

Peter Facinelli Swoops Down For Breaking Dawn

Allie Merriam — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 06:31:10 PDT

Peter Facinelli hopped off a flight from LAX yesterday and made his way through the Vancouver airport. He was a late addition to the Canadian set of Breaking Dawn, which apparently is still filming north of the border. Peter's costars, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, spent their weekend shooting the last installment of the Twilight series, though they were actually doing shirtless and bikini scenes on the Caribbean island of St. Thomas. Robert is now in Berlin, prepping for the German premiere of Water For Elephants. He's been extra busy with his big-screen role, promoting his TV series Nurse Jackie and apparently teaming up with the US Parks Department for an event at the Grand Canyon last week. He still had time to celebrate last weekend's holiday and tweeted a picture of the Easter bunny kicking back after a hard day's work. Peter recently spoke about wrapping up Twilight and revealed new secrets about Bella and Edward's wedding scene. He said, "The wedding scene, first of all, was really beautiful. The way the set was decorated, the way they lit it. It’s in the backyard of the Cullen house, and they utilized the space really well. For us as actors, it was hard because it was raining the whole time we shot, but you’ll never see it on film. For us, it was raining and muddy, but on film, it will look beautiful."

Desire/Acquire: Animal-Shape Pillows

Elka Karl — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 12:20:16 PST

I'm an animal lover, and since this is the Year of the Rabbit, adding one or two bunnies to the house may be inevitable. I'm digging the Fauna Rabbit Pillow ($104) but at just over a benjamin, this bunny goes from cute to a little too precious. And while I love that these pillows are printed by hand and also feature other fun animal shapes, truth be told, if I'm going to add one of these creatures to my house, I don't want to be defending it from a sticky-fingered toddler who might mar its expensive pelt. Bottom line: I'd like a cute animal pillow that costs a bit less, thank you very much. Luckily, there's a much less expensive option!
