George Clooney Gives Showtime Its Next Dark Comedy

BuzzSugar — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:30:53 PDT

Between Weeds, Californication, and the recently announced Matthew Perry project The End of Steve, Showtime certainly seems to be racking up a warehouse full of dark comedies these days. Today there's news of a new one, and it's got a powerhouse behind it: George Clooney.

Clooney's production company, Smoke House, is developing a half-hour comedy called The Fall of Bob. (Wow, nobody's going to get that confused with The End of Steve, right? Heh.) The show centers on a man, unsurprisingly named Bob, who sees his whole life before his eyes as he jumps from the top of a building. According to Variety, the show will play out in flashbacks, which Bob will narrate as he falls.

Yeah, I'll say that sounds dark. But I'd be curious to see it - especially depending on who's cast as Bob.

Last we heard, Clooney was also producing a potential Showtime drama called Doubting Thomas, about a family of televangelists, though there hasn't been any news on it in a while. This new show just might extend his "hero of pay cable" status a while longer, though. Does The Fall of Bob sound like something you'd check out?

Last year, Viola Davis racked up praise for her role in The Help, and this year she's turning heads on the red carpet. For the Critics' Choice Awards, Viola donned a red gown from Raoul's Pre-Fall collection. A plunging neckline added sex appeal, while the flowing fit looked easy and comfortable. Golden earrings, black eyeliner, and a chic short bob finished off the look. Are you a fan of her lady-in-red look?

Last night at the Grammys, Rihanna looked absolutely beautiful wearing violet-toned makeup and a new shoulder-length coiffure. Hairstylist Ursula Stephen cut and styled Rihanna's new 'do, calling it a "sexified, tousled, bouncy bob." Stephen explains, "As far as bobs go, it's a heavier look; not a lot of layers, just big, bouncy, and sexy!" To find out how you can re-create the look at home, just keep reading.

Word of the Day: Glunge (and How to Get It)

Jaime Richards — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 05:05:38 PST

Last year, we took a look at beauty-related portmanteaus - aka two words joined together to form a whole new word. For instance, breakfast + lunch = brunch and long + bob = lob. You get the point. But now, there's a new beauty portmanteau in town: glunge. Glunge, a combination of glamour and grunge, is the idea of contrasting textures within the hair, explains Redken education artistic director, Sam Villa.

To get the look, Villa suggests combining one to two thermal techniques for unexpected, multidimensional texture. Use a texturizing iron, like the Textur iron ($230) from Villa's eponymous line, to change the surface area of the hair and to build the foundation for additional texture. Use a flat iron, like his brand's Sleekr iron ($230) for sleekness, and also to add wave and curl. "Playing with the direction of how hair is coiled around a curling iron, as well as the wrapping technique and angle, can yield endless versions of texture," Villa adds.

From Vena Cava to Araks (both pictured above), we saw a lot of chic, grungy looks at Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week. Me thinks Villa is on to something here with this newly-coined word. Do you?

Buzz In: What's on Your Party Playlist?

OnSugar Blog — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 03:05:00 PST

In the following post from OnSugar blog Live and Love, UrbanChicaLuv shares what's on her party playlist. Read her list, and then share yours in the comments!

Have you ever sat in your car listening to your local radio stations and wondered, "What is up with this music? And why do they keep playing the same songs?!" If you answered no, congrats. You must live in Florida. If you answered yes, I'm here to help . . . or at least try to help. My local radio stations lack . . . well, they just lack. This past Summer my boyfriend and I took a vacation to Florida, and on the drive there, I was amazed at the radio stations. It was as if my iPod was playing the entire time. I fell IN LOVE. Fast and hard. Back to my point, though; my radio stations don't play what I want to hear. And because of this, I search a variety of techno-like songs on the Internet. So, here are songs that bring out the party in me.

"Deja Vu" - Inna ft. Bob Taylor
"Miami 2 Ibiza" - Swedish House Mafia vs. Tinie Tempah
"The Time (Dirty Bit)" - Black Eyed Peas
"Patron Tequila" - Paradiso Girls
"Falling Down" - Space Cowboys ft. Paradiso Girls
"Bass Down Low"- Dev ft. The Cataracs
"Hey Baby" (Drop it to the Floor) - Pitbull ft. T-Pain
"One (Your Name)" - Swedish House Mafia ft. Pharrell
"I'm in the House" - Steve Aoki ft. Zuper Blahq
"Higher" - Taio Cruz ft. Travie McCoy
