We've seen the very early basic designs for the CGI (and possibly 3-D) Smurfs movie, and today there's news that Sony has snatched up the film rights, and they plan to make it just like last year's Alvin and the Chipmunks movie — with live-action actors alongside the animated blue guys (and gal). Variety continues: [Producer Jordan] Kerner said the genesis of the current project began during Read more
The Smurfs are turning 50 this year, and to celebrate, Stirrings — maker of my favorite on-the-go drink mixers — has created a specialty cocktail. While the classic cartoon characters were blue, the drink has a pretty burgundy color. A combination of orange-flavored vodka and wild blueberry juice, the Smurfette is one potent cocktail. If you loved the Smurfs as a child, you will surely enjoy Read more
When I lived with three roommates in close quarters, we used to compare ourselves to the Golden Girls. I was Dorothy. Now I think I relate more to The Flintstones with my husband calling my name in the "WILMAAAAA" fashion and my babe banging her fork and spoon on the table. Do you live in a Jetson home with a helping hand like Rosie? Or do you have lots of family and friends around to help you Read more

The first full-length trailer for The Smurfs is reminiscent of other cartoons-gone-live-action, like Alvin and the Chipmunks — and I don't mean that in a good way. Neil Patrick Harris and Glee's Jayma Mays star as the couple who accidentally happens upon the tiny blue creatures when they escape from their village and end up in New York City. The smurfs are voiced by Katy Perry, George Lopez, Read more
If you were a child of the '80s, you likely spent Saturday mornings with The Smurfs while scarfing a heaping bowl of Smurf-Berry Crunch.

The Smurfs movie premieres today, so let's see what happens when humans try to get Smurfy. Some drinking is often involved, Read more
It's time to get Smurfed! The iconic blue guys (and one gal) will be moving directly out of kitchy nostalgia territory and into the spotlight when The Smurfs hits theaters this weekend. If Mama had a collection of little blue figurines as a kid, she can be sure her own tots will be clamoring for their own versions of the movie toys after exiting the theater. Smurfs mania is about to blow up — Read more
Thought Katy Perry might forget about her love of nail art with all the hair dying she's been doing? That's not Mrs. Russell Brand's style. Last night, she tweeted a photo of her nails with this holographic Smurf manicure. They look like they may be artificial nails, and it was for the premiere of The Smurfs, so it wasn't exactly out of the blue (ha ha). Regardless, Katy certainly hasn't lost Read more
