Buzz In: Who's Your Favorite Movie President?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:30:57 PDT

Sometimes movie presidents are so much more fun than real life presidents. With a team of talented screenwriters and directors behind them, they often make the kind of grand, inspirational speeches that can be pretty rare in the real world. And they seem to get away with a lot of stuff, too.

Take Kevin Kline's character in the movie Dave, for example. He isn't even supposed to be president, he's just a doppelganger subbing in, which is totally against all the rules and stuff. But you know what? He has a good heart, and that's what matters in movie presidents.

Of course, things get all meta and mind warpy when you start to think about biopic movie presidents, but they count, too, for these purposes. So, who is your favorite movie president? Do you agree with a recent poll that Harrison Ford in Air Force One is the best? I personally like Jeff Bridges (pictured) as President Jackson Evans in The Contender. He nominates a - gasp! - female vice president and all hell breaks loose.

Richard Chai Love Fall 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:29:44 PST

Inspired by the idea of "handsome femininity," Richard Chai showed a Fall collection that was simultaneously simple, yet statement-making. “I didn’t want to do anything that was tricky,” Chai told The New York Times. “I didn’t want to create looks that were just for the show. I wanted it to be approachable and believable, but also be really aspirational. At the end of the day, it’s pieces that I want people to wear.” Chai's boy-meets-girl vision was interpreted into gorgeous slim-fit striped trousers, structured oversized blazers and coats, cozy knits, blanket-stripe coats, and moody florals. The latter was cut into diaphanous sheer skirts, corduroy pants, and jackets, adding a feminine streak to his city-slicker style. Furthermore, his outerwear was something to contend with; Chai's selection of oversized structured jackets and coats were perfectly tailored and ideal for topping off just about any Fall look.

Trends: Menswear, painterly florals, blanket stripes, boxy blazers and coats.
Colors: Dark red, pinks, gray, black, navy blue, brown.
Key Piece: We loved the multi-colored blanket-stripe dress and trousers.
Accessories: Black ankle booties and lace-up boots.
Who Would Wear It: Downtown girls looking to add a menswear-inspired touch to their look, like Olivia Palermo.

Look of the Day: Fashion Week Fierce

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:30:02 PST

Fab reader Paricoleini styled up her Winter-chic look with three New York Fashion Week must-haves. Her cozy two-toned faux fur jacket, sleek black suede booties, and plentiful stack of friendship bracelets make her a serious contender for front-row status. We love that she played with proportions - her leather short-shorts worn over opaque tights, with a textured topper for warmth, is a form-flattering silhouette win. Plus, the purple Fair Isle beanie was a sweet cold-weather accessory choice.

Congrats Paricoleini!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and we might just feature you on FabSugar!

The Help's Win, Love For 30 Rock and Modern Family, a Scorsese Drinking Game - Highlights From the SAG Awards!

Allie Merriam — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 08:22:03 PST

Michelle Williams was the first presenter at this evening's SAG Awards, handing the outstanding supporting actor statue to Christopher Plummer from Beginners. Octavia Spencer took home the corresponding statue for her work in The Help.

On the TV end, Alec Baldwin squealed with delight when he was named best actor in a comedic series, and an especially stunned Betty White, from Hot in Cleveland, dedicated her prize to her leading ladies Wendie Malick, Valerie Bertinelli, and Jane Leeves. The child actors from Modern Family, Ariel Winter, Rico Rodriguez, and Nolan Gould, got a chance to take the podium when their series won outstanding cast in a comedy. Miniseries accolades went to two absent stars, Kate Winslet for Mildred Pierce and Paul Giamatti for Too Big to Fail.

Bridesmaids' Maya Rudolph, Kristin Wiig, and Melissa McCarthy brought some comedic relief when onstage introducing their film as a contender in the best ensemble category. The trio came to the stage armed with vodka, beer, and champagne, and introduced a drinking game based around the word "Scorsese." Jessica Lange then followed up on her Golden Globes win with another victory in the category of best dramatic actress on a TV series for American Horror Story. Steve Buscemi won an Actor for his leading role on HBO's Boardwalk Empire. TV ensemble in a drama honors went to Steve's whole cast, giving him an additional opportunity to invoke his producer Martin Scorsese's name as an excuse for a drink.

There was a slight upset in the best actor in a film category - The Artist's Jean Dujardin beat out Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Demián Bichir, and George Clooney. Viola Davis claimed the best female actor in a motion picture for The Help, and beamed from the stage in her Marchesa gown. Further acclaim went to the cast of Viola's movie, with their Actor statues being handed off by none other than Brad Pitt. We've rounded up the full list of 2012 SAG Award winners, and make sure to check out all the action from celebrities on the SAGs red carpet!

Mackenzie Wagoner — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 09:39:08 PST

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber touched down in Sydney yesterday with their sons Samuel and Sasha. She was decked out in a hat and sunglasses, ready to trade the wintery climate of NYC for the Australian Summer. Naomi and Liev haven't made the rounds this award season, though her J. Edgar did get some love at various shows. However, some were shocked when her leading man Leonardo DiCaprio wasn't named among the best actor contenders during yesterday's Oscar nominations. Naomi will enjoy a break before starting her next project, a controversial film with Robin Wright called The Grandmothers.

Which Nominated Film Do You Want to See Before Oscar Night?

Lizzie Fuhr — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:31:44 PST

We're still excited about the Oscar nominations this morning, and now comes the next part of the process: checking out all the films we want to have fresh in our minds on the big night. I know lots of people will still be lining up to experience The Artist in theaters since it's been sweeping award season, but if you haven't seen The Tree of Life or Warrior, you're in luck - both of those films are out on DVD.

While certain films like The Descendants have dominated award season thus far, there are some new contenders vying for Oscars, like the foreign film A Separation. It's up for best foreign film and also received a nom for best adapted screenplay, so it's definitely on my list to watch. But I want to hear from you: now that the Oscar noms are out, what films are you trying to see before the big night?

Before and After: How to Wear Makeup For the Perfect Picture

Allie Merriam — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 06:03:23 PST

I've sometimes wished a professional makeup artist was on hand for a consultation before my photo was taken. The opportunity for that to actually happen arose this week, when Revlon's Global Artistic Director Gucci Westman volunteered her makeover services. Gucci, who's worked with the likes of Cameron Diaz and Kim Kardashian, walked me through the steps she used to get my visage ready for the camera. She shared some beauty tips - and revealed how she's prepping to survive another Fashion Week - just before a portrait session with photographer Michael Fine began.

I presented Gucci with a relatively bare face, which you can see at right.

To read Gucci's tips, and to see the results of her hard work, just read on.

Charlize and Leonardo Bring Their Star Power Inside InStyle's Bash

Allie Merriam — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:02:59 PST

Charlize Theron rubbed shoulders with fellow nominees inside last night's InStyle party following the Golden Globes. She was a best actress in a drama nominee for Young Adult, though the honor ended up going to The Iron Lady's Meryl Streep. Nonetheless, Charlize was in the mood to celebrate with her fellow best actress contender, The Help's Viola Davis. Leonardo DiCaprio also turned out on the special evening. He was up for best actor in a drama for J. Edgar, and that distinction would end up going to the hilarious The Descendants star George Clooney. Other stars let loose at the magazine's event with editor Ariel Foxman. Sofia Vergara toasted Modern Family's best TV comedy win with her pal Diddy, after they spent New Year's Eve together in Miami. Kate Beckinsale made the rounds, too, as did Jessica Chastain, Heidi Klum, and more!
