First Look: Coco Chanel on Lifetime
With the fashion world abuzz at New York Fashion Week right now, it seems an apt time for Lifetime to premiere its look at the life of one of fashion's true icons: Coco Chanel. Coco Chanel stars Shirley MacLaine as the legendary designer (and Barbora Bobulova as the young Coco) who began life in a French orphanage and worked her way up through the fashion world, ultimately bringing us classic suits, the little black dress, and a perfume that's endured for decades.
Lifetime calls Chanel "a glamorous woman who was hard to love and harder to ignore," and that comes through in this trailer.

The Results Are In: Recast Who's the Boss?
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!
Most of all, I loved the suggestions put forth this week for recasting the role of Angela Bower's mom, Mona Robinson.
Recast Results: "Bewitched"
For this week's Recast challenge, I asked you to choose a new cast for the old television series "Bewitched" — but no Will Ferrells or Nicole Kidmans allowed. You all came up with some interesting casting decisions; I especially liked WhiplashGirlchild's idea to use real-life married couple Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick along with "Everybody Loves Raymond" mom Doris Roberts.
While a little on the younger side, I loved Controlledspin's pick of Sarah Chalke for Samantha, and many of you chose Jim Carrey for Darrin, which seems perfect since Carrey so closely resembles Dick York.
Reminder: Recast Steel Magnolias!
I'm impressed with the entries so far for this week's challenge to Recast Steel Magnolias. After all, this irresistible Southern chick-flick is a bit of a toughie. But don't worry: The contest is still open, so be sure to submit your entry with the actresses you think could fill these great female roles today.
Recast Steel Magnolias!
Ever wonder what a movie or TV show would be like if you could be the casting director? Well, every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I'll be posting a Recast challenge, where I'll ask you to recast a classic TV show or movie for these modern times.
This week's challenge: the irresistible Southern chick-flick, Steel Magnolias.
