Elijah Wood and Shirley Manson Are Bored on Sundays, in Oliver Peoples Shades

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:00:22 PST

We may admire some Fab ads, but if you really want to stand apart, produce a charming minimovie with random celebrities - Garbage's Shirley Manson, Elijah Wood - bored on Sundays. Frenchly named "Les enfants sennuient le dimanche" (the children are bored on Sundays), this wonderfully adorable, Royal Tenenbaums-esque movie, narrated by a simple guitar riff, is thoroughly amusing. Watch the couple sip Rosé, play golf (sorta), swim (sorta), kiss (sorta), and lounge around in retro gowns and dapper suits. All the while wearing Oliver Peoples's latest specs. Directed by Autumn de Wilde, it's wildly fabulous and not boring at all.

TV Tonight: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

BuzzSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 14:30:06 PDT

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which returns to start its second season tonight on Fox, is one of the more interesting stories of last TV season. The show premiered during the doldrums of the writers' strike, got a mixed critical reaction, and somehow by the end of the season became a buzzed-about show.

How? I'm not sure, but I think the show's innovative casting probably had something to do with it. I mean, Brian Austin Green as a badass? (Showrunner Josh Friedman told the very funny story behind that one back at Comic-Con, ending with him asking the onetime 90210 star "When did you get to be so hot?") This year's entry into the Annals of Improbable Casting is Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson, who's playing a technology company CEO.

But choosing interesting actors won't go too far if the story's not good, and Terminator: TSCC seems to be picking things up on that front as well: At the show's Comic-Con panel, producers announced that someone on the stage would die before the end of season two. The cast reacted with relative horror; it seemed they didn't even know which one of them was the goner. I guess that's one of those things we just have to watch and see.

After the jump, you can check out the trailer for the new season, which starts tonight at 8 p.m. EDT and PDT. Will you be watching? To talk about it, just

Is Sarah Connor Only Happy When it Rains?

BuzzSugar — Thu, 29 May 2008 11:45:03 PDT

Raise your hand if you recognize this face! Yes, that is Shirley Manson, lead singer of Garbage, the group that scored some hits in the '90s, including "I'm Only Happy When it Rains." There is intriguing news today that she is joining the cast of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles when it returns for a second season on Fox.

Manson will be a regular as "Catherine Weaver, the CEO of a cutting-edge high-tech company."

Last I heard, Manson had been looking to record a solo album but I don't think it's finished yet. Or rather, Wikipedia says it was supposed to release two days ago and it didn't. I wonder if that's still in the works or if she'll put it on hold to focus on acting. She is one of the coolest rocker women from that grunge era of yore and I'm excited to see what she can bring to the small screen.

So what do you think? Is this the weirdest casting news you've heard in awhile? Or totally perfect career progression for a rock star from the '90s?

FABTV: Garbage "Special"

FabSugar — Sun, 25 May 2008 11:11:22 PDT

Does anyone else seriously wish they were a superhero? I know I'm not alone, but sometimes I will settle for driving around a futuristic craft looking fierce with a slicked-back pony, liquid red lips, and a furry red vest. This video may be borderline Battlestar Galactica geeky but it's dope, OK. Shirley Manson was a diva in her own right, with her punky-posh style. But I love this song, too; it's got a good groove. Watch how the ka-booms in the video synchronize with the song. Special, indeed.

Too bad they let go one of the more stunning women on America's Next Top Model. I mean, I know Lauren couldn't walk or even talk properly on camera, but she is amazing looking! She looks just Shirley Manson from the band Garbage.

Gwen Stefani Says Marriage "Hasn't Been the Easiest Journey" in Elle UK Girl Talk

Lauren Turner — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 09:48:00 PST

Gwen Stefani looked gorgeous while hanging around on the cover of April's Elle UK - check out a behind-the-scenes look at the shoot from photographer Matthias Vriens McGrath. She's the face of its romance issue and chatted with her good friend Shirley Manson for the accompanying interview. The L.A.M.B. designer and L'Oréal model opened up about her 14 years with Gavin Rossdale, her daily workout struggle, and feeling lazy. Here's more:

On her marriage: "I've been with Gavin for 14 years, and, let's face it, that is a huge accomplishment. I feel so proud of that - it hasn't been the easiest journey."
On her ideal day: "I think of myself as really lazy. My ideal day would be to never get out of bed. No one can force me to do something unless I'm passionate about it."

Gwen Stefani & Her Little Lamb Show Off L.A.M.B.

Molly — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 00:02:31 PDT

Bryant Park got a little more fabulous yesterday evening when Gwen showed off her new line for L.A.M.B. at NY Fashion Week. Of course, her men were front and center with little Kingston showing off some of his mom's designs (and some adorable True Religion jeans). Check back later today for Fab's full review and pics from the runway, but until then hear about all her and Bella's fun on Elle.com! Among the other guests were bumblebee Carrie Underwood, high waisted Sophia Bush and Eve (out to support her friend and Let Me Blow Your Mind duet-mate, that song was awesome, btw). Also, how funny is Diddy right next to Kingston? Fab says Gavin was dancing with Kingston, which is pretty much cutest ever.
