5 Actresses Who Could Play a Teen Carrie Bradshaw

BuzzSugar — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 17:00:08 PDT

Just because Sex and the City 2 already had its big release doesn't mean that the madness is dying down. Now comes rumors of yet another SATC movie, only this would be a prequel! Yep, the basis would be The Carrie Diaries, the book about Bradshaw's life in high school before she moved to NYC. So many questions arise, but I'm most interested in who would star as our beloved fashionista. Take a look at five actresses I think could play 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw.

The Ladies Choose Short at the Teen Choice Awards

PopSugar — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 23:55:41 PDT

Last night's Teen Choice Awards brought many lovely ladies onto the grass carpet. Short and sweet was the theme of the evening, with most of the stars choosing something perfect for the hot Summer day. Britney Spears and Fergie opted for embellished LBDs, while Kim Kardashian showed off her new hair color in a white number. Vanessa Hudgens went with pretty blue, while Kristen Stewart took a break from chilling with Robert Pattinson and continued with her Joan Jett rock-star look in her metal-fringed Rock & Republic frock. How did she sit in that dress?

Emma Roberts and Miley Cyrus accented their outfits with statement jewelry, while Audrina Patridge was all about purple with her dress and clutch. Selena Gomez and Glee's Lea Michele were almost twins in their similar one-shoulder dresses - for lots more of last night's fashions, head over to Fab, while Bella has the lowdown on the beauty looks!

LOTS more images from the red carpet, so read more.

My Sister's Keeper: Climb Aboard the Weepy Express

BuzzSugar — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:30:17 PDT

In My Sister's Keeper, young Anna knows that she was genetically engineered and brought into this world in order to serve as a donor for her ailing sister, Kate. Well, My Sister's Keeper was engineered to make people cry - over and over and over again, for two hours. Anna sues her parents for medical emancipation, and by the end of this movie I wanted to file for emotional emancipation.

Anna (played sweetly by Abigail Breslin) was conceived after her parents, Sara (Cameron Diaz) and Brian (Jason Patric), learned that their young daughter Kate (the teenage version played by Sofia Vassilieva) had leukemia and their other child, Jesse (Evan Ellingson), was not a perfect match to be a donor for his sister. Throughout her life Anna has been required to give all sorts of things from her body to help keep Kate alive and now, at the age of 11, Anna finds a lawyer (Alec Baldwin) to sue her parents for medical emancipation. The lawsuit comes at a critical time: Kate's kidneys are failing, and without one of Anna's kidneys, Kate will die - soon. The story unfolds in a series of flashbacks that fill in some blanks about the family's journey up until this point. The flashbacks are interspersed with scenes of the present-day situation as Kate's condition worsens and Sara, a former lawyer, prepares to fight her youngest daughter in court. For more on this terribly sad movie,

read more. This drama is, of course, very moving. It centers around a kid with cancer! Of course there's inherent sadness just within that plot, and essentially, nothing more is really needed to make most people feel. But My Sister's Keeper takes this story and milks it for all its worth, stretching out heart-wrenching scene after heart-wrenching scene. I don't fault the movie for being sad, and I don't even think it's that poorly done, but it could have benefited greatly from some strong editing. Despite trying to cover a lot of ground in a relatively short period of time (we hear perspectives from each character - including quite a bit from Kate herself), the movie drags on languorously in many parts, and I just wanted to yell at the screen that we get it. It's sad. We're crying. There's so much more to this story, please move on! At first, it takes a little while to warm up to these people - particularly so with Diaz's Sara, not because her character is a tough cookie but because Diaz is so shrill at times it's hard to take her seriously. I wondered if this role was too heavy for her to handle; there's just something insubstantial about the way she portrays Sara. It doesn't ruin the movie, but I still wish they'd cast someone else in that role. Sofia Vassilieva's performance as Kate is well done and requires a delicate touch that Vassilieva capably displays - she's sympathetic as a cancer patient, of course, but she also convincingly plays another side of Kate: a giggly, sometimes insecure teenage girl who wants to date boys and look pretty. I knew going into this that my emotions would be manipulated, and they really do pull out all the stops - including the use of a heartbreaking song every eight minutes or so (like Greg Laswell's slow, haunting version of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun"). But even with all the music and all the horrors of cancer, by the end of the film, the sweet and complex bonds between these parents and these siblings are what deliver the gut-punch that forces the tears to start flowing.

MTV Movie Awards Bring Lots of Laughs and Pattinson

PopSugar — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 06:29:41 PDT

Andy Samberg kept the star-studded crowd laughing the whole night at the Robert Pattinson Appreciation Awards, we mean MTV Movie Awards, in LA yesterday. After the gorgeous men and women walked the red carpet, Andy opened the show spoofing the year's biggest movies - from The Reader to Star Trek. Really though, all show long Twilight found its way into almost every segment in some way. There were lots of other funny moments including an homage to movie explosions, a dramatic medley of SNL digital shorts songs which starred Forest Whitaker singing "D*ck in a Box," and Bruno flying through the air and landing on an enraged Eminem. Em did not look happy as he stormed out of the theater afterwards.

It was no surprise that Twilight was the big winner of the night which led to many wonderful moments like the almost Robert Pattinson/Kristen Stewart kiss, Rob bringing our attention to the happenings in his pants, and Kristen nervously dropping her golden popcorn. Another huge highlight was the exclusive New Moon trailer - looks amazing. It might have been the only moment the theater was quiet in rapture rather than screaming Robert's name at random intervals. There were lots of other happy winners like Zac Efron, Jim Carrey, and Ben Stiller who was presented the Decade Award by a teary Kiefer Sutherland. It was a fun night all around, let us know your favorite moment and don't forget to vote on all of Bella and Fab's love it or hate it polls!

Movie Preview: My Sister's Keeper

BuzzSugar — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 05:30:15 PDT

Well, after a bit of casting drama and some commotion over the fact that the film's ending will differ from the book's, we're finally getting a real glimpse of My Sister's Keeper. The story follows a family in which one teenage daughter is very ill while the other one, learning a difficult truth about her birth, tries to become emancipated from her parents. There is, of course, much more going on in this layered, heavy family drama, and from this new trailer it looks like the film captures the intensity of the story quite well.

Only thing is, I was never a supporter of Cameron Diaz playing the role of the mother and I have to say the trailer isn't changing this opinion. I'll try to go in with an open mind when the movie opens June 26, but at the moment I can't shake the thought that this was a dreadful miscast. To check out the trailer for yourself,

Cameron Boldly Goes Bald?!

PopSugar — Thu, 22 May 2008 08:58:37 PDT

We've seen Cameron rockin' a few different hairstyles on the set of My Sister's Keeper, but yesterday she really wowed us with a bald cap. In the movie, Cameron's daughter is diagnosed with cancer, so we're thinking that her character shaved off her own hair to rally around her daughter - although this is a new twist on the story since it didn't happen in the book. We're pretty surprised that the film's execs asked Dakota Fanning to actually shave her head when she was originally signed on for the role, but it doesn't look like they held Cameron to the same standard.

More photos including Abigail Breslin, Sofia Vassilieva, and Jason Patric, so just read more.

Cameron and Abigail Keep Each Other Company

PopSugar — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 11:15:24 PDT

Even though Abigail Breslin seems to be one of the hardest working (little) women in Hollywood, it looks like she was having a blast with Cameron Diaz on the set of My Sister's Keeper in LA yesterday. The little lady has had quite a week between the Kids' Choice Awards and the premiere of her new movie, Nim's Island, which also stars Gerard Butler. Since there have been rumors about a possible Gerard and Cameron love connection. . . maybe Abigail has been busy offset playing matchmaker?

Dakota Fears Head Shave, Drops Out of My Sister's Keeper

BuzzSugar — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 09:28:31 PST

Stop the presses! The Fanning sisters - yes, both Dakota and Elle - have dropped out of the film adaptation of Jodi Picoult's novel My Sister's Keeper. Now Abigail Breslin will play the role of Anna (previously given to Elle), the girl who sues her parents for medical emancipation. Sofia Vassilieva is in talks to take Dakota's role of Kate, Anna's sick older sister.

According to Variety, "Sources said Dakota Fanning balked at a request that she shave her head for the role and both sisters withdrew abruptly."

Hooray for Abigail Breslin! There was some uneasiness about the Fannings playing these sisters in the first place, and now, well, Dakota can keep her hair and we can see Breslin take this role and run with it. This project, which is dear to many hearts due to the sentimental subject matter, deserves good casting choices.

Now all we need is someone to replace Cameron Diaz as the girls' mother. Who would you choose for that role?
