Lauren Turner — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:56:42 PST

Camila Alves looked gorgeous in a red dress with a cutout back as she posed on her way into QVC's runway show in NYC last night. All eyes were on Camila Alves's sparkling engagement ring, which she proudly displayed for the cameras. Camila and longtime boyfriend Matthew McConaughey became engaged over the holidays, but this is the first we've seen of the three-stone bauble. Camila and Matthew are just one of many cute celebrity couples in Hollywood, though Camila was without her man yesterday. New York Fashion Week officially starts today, but Camila helped kick off the festivities at the QVC event, which also saw support from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and Olivia Palermo.

SAG Awards Producer Kathy Connell Says Watching the Show Is "Like Being at a Private Party"

Shannon Vestal — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 03:05:18 PST

The Screen Actors Guild Awards air this Sunday, and the folks behind the show are just as excited about the night as the A-list nominees are. I chatted with SAG Awards producer Kathy Connell about why this year's broadcast will be worth watching, how these particular awards are different, and why you should never refer to them as "SAGs."

BuzzSugar: What fun things do we have to look forward to on Sunday?
Kathy Connell: We have the best lineup of presenters that I am so amazingly proud of. Our lineup of presenters is staggering. And the highlight will be the Lifetime Achievement Award to Mary Tyler Moore that's being given by Dick Van Dyke.

Buzz: With all the award shows, what's different about the SAG Awards that would make people tune in?
KC: Well, because the actors are talking to each other. It's sort of like being at a private party. There are actors as far as the eye can see; when an actor gets on that stage, all they can see are other actors. You look down and see Meryl Streep's over here, and George Clooney's over there, and Brad Pitt's over there. It's pretty daunting when you hit that stage and you look down. I always warn, particularly the Life Achievement people, [that] when they hit that stage, it's going to become emotional, because as far as they can see, there are their peers acknowledging them. And that's true of every actor who wins our statue, which is known as "The Actor."

Gavin, Kingston, and Zuma Celebrate Harlow's Birthday With More Celebrity Kids

Lauren Turner — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:42:56 PST

Nicole Richie's daughter, Harlow Madden, had a star-studded birthday bash in LA yesterday. They celebrated at the children's play space, The Coop, where Ashlee Simpson's son Bronx partied for his big day last year. Gavin Rossdale brought Kingston and Zuma along for the fun event and Tobey Maguire's wife, Jennifer Meyer, arrived with kids Ruby and Otis.

Harlow actually turned four last week, but its been a busy month so far for the Richie-Madden family. Nicole attended the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday and promoted her new reality series, Fashion Star, at the TCAs in Pasadena last weekend. Nicole and Joel didn't miss their daughter's big day, though, since they honored Harlow on Twitter. Nicole joked, "In case your'e wondering if I had my child born on the same day as Mary J. Blige on purpose, the answer is H*LL TO THE YES" while Joel wrote "Happy Birthday to my little girl. I'm so proud of her. Life is good. :)"

Ashley Olsen Steps Out in NYC as She and Mary-Kate Talk Being a "Unit"

Lindsay Miller — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 12:50:23 PDT

Ashley Olsen was out and about in NYC yesterday in TOMS + The Row cashmere kicks and a scarf. The designer strolled in Soho during the sunny East Coast afternoon. Mary-Kate and Ashley were interviewed in The Telegraph this week, and the sisters had a lot to say about how they work together on their clothing collections, as well as how they grew from child stars to a fashion force to be reckoned with. Here are some highlights:

Ashley on why they design: "I did feel there was a need for luxurious basics, to wear with couture. When you're small like I am, you need things to break it up, or not look like you're in the full look. So it started with that concept, and just kind of grew from there. It's pieces that we feel are missing, or that we want. We make the best quality, things that we would shop for, that we appreciate and find beautiful."
Mary-Kate on their little sister, actress Elizabeth: "We're so proud of her! She's working really hard."
Ashley on still having Full House fans: "Four- and five-year-old kids come up to us and they're like, 'I don't understand, because you're so big now, and I watch you on Full House and you're a baby!'"
Mary-Kate on where she sees herself in 10 years: "My answers are always sarcastic to this. [Laughs.] I always say taller."
Mary-Kate on her closeness with Ashley: ". . . We are a unit! We still probably spend more time together than we're apart. The only time we really don't see each other is when we're sleeping, I guess."

Jennifer Aniston Shows Skin in a Little Blazer For a Hot Marie Claire Shoot!

Allie Merriam — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 11:33:58 PDT

Jennifer Aniston teamed up with her Horrible Bosses costar Jason Bateman for a spread inside the July edition of Marie Claire. The duo are prepping for their movie's release on July 8, and he recently had the honor of presenting Jen with the Decade of Hotness Award at Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards. Jennifer and Jason will share the screen in the dark comedy with other funny castmates, like Charlie Day, Colin Farrell, and Jason Sudeikis. It's another leading man who's center stage in Jen's personal life though. Jennifer and Justin Theroux are dating, and things are apparently getting more and more serious. Jennifer didn't talk much about her personal life with the magazine, but she did speak about her love of interior design and even cars. Jennifer Aniston told Marie Claire:

On how she spent her first paycheck: "I spent my first paycheck on a vintage Mercedes. I was struggling a little in New York, working as a waitress at Jackson Hole, but not really getting any consistent acting work. Then I moved out here to Los Angeles, and I started getting pilots and working pretty regularly. I still didn't make any decent money until I got on Friends."
On what she'd do if she didn't act: "If I weren't an actor; I'd be: Maybe an interior designer. I love seeing a house and thinking about how it should be redone or restored. I spent a lot of time doing my current house, and it's beautiful. . . . It's like a beautiful work of art, and I'm very proud of it."

The ladies moved together to the afterparty where Emma Stone chowed down on Southern dishes like fried chicken, pecan cupcakes, and sweet tea.

Laura Werlin on the Pebble Beach Food and Wine Festival

Guest Writer — Fri, 06 May 2011 11:04:33 PDT

Last weekend was the Pebble Beach Food and Wine Festival. Since we couldn't make it, we asked cheese expert Laura Werlin to give us a behind-the-scenes look! Here she discusses her seminars and provides some pointers on how to pair wine with her specialty, grilled cheese.
When you think of Pebble Beach, you probably think of golf. But not me. All I can think of is that it’s the home of the utterly, completely, amazing over-the-top Pebble Beach Food & Wine event. The fourth annual extravaganza, which featured chefs like Tom Colicchio, Anne Burrell, Tim Love, Daniel Boulud, Stephen Pyles, Christopher Kostow, Chris Cosentino, Michael Chiarello, Gary Danko, Ming Tsai, and approximately 85 others, took place over a sunny weekend in April. I was lucky enough to be one of the presenters to do what I do - say cheese, of course. I gave two seminars, each with a different theme. One was grilled cheese and wine pairing (yep, you read that right) and the other was cheese paired with the über impressive wines of Oregon winery Domaine Serene.

For the cheese and Domaine Serene presentation, I paired six American cheeses with five wines that included Chardonnay, Pinot, Rosé and Syrah.

To see what cheeses she paired with the wines from Oregon, keep reading.

Watch Lady Gaga's Music Video For "Judas"

Shannon Vestal — Thu, 05 May 2011 11:01:13 PDT

Lady Gaga's latest music video for "Judas" has just arrived, and as the title implies, it has enough religious imagery to make Madonna proud. Gaga herself plays a hot biker babe version of Mary Magdalene while The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus plays Judas. The theatrical factor is high on this one, with a crowd of elaborately costumed dancers gyrating as Gaga trains her gun on Judas, then ceremoniously washes Jesus's feet. It's quite a bit less weird than Lady Gaga's video for "Born This Way," but it's no less dramatic.

Sneak Peek: Rue Magazine Issue 6!

Julia Walsh — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 11:50:00 PDT

Rue magazine issue six hits virtual newsstands on Monday, July 25, and I am pleased to share an exclusive sneak peek with you! The new issue will be Rue's big international effort. Editor in Chief Crystal Gentillelo tells me: "We're proud to say that ALL our home tours are from abroad!"

The tour I'm sharing with you today is of the home of a Parisian ex-pat, Agnes Verrier, who moved to Singapore with her now ex-husband, stumbled upon a career in interior design, and fell in love with a British client, who had hired her to decorate his new flat in the city. As any true love story should, this one has a fairy-tale ending: Verrier wound up moving into the gorgeous apartment she had designed!

Rue worked with celebrated photographer Scott A. Woodward on this story - aren't the photographs just oozing in gorgeousness? The styling, courtesy of stylist Marie Maglaque, is perfection, as well. From floor to ceiling, this home has charm and character, brimming with antiques and global finds. It amazes me how someone can transform a streamlined, contemporary flat into one with such a feeling of history and romance.

I can't wait to read the rest of the issue! What do you think of this fabulous flat?
