Reese Goes Under the Bridge

BuzzSugar — Mon, 07 May 2007 17:01:31 PDT

Reese may be most known for her romantic comedies, but it seems as if she's about to change all that. She just finished shooting the thriller Rendition with Jake Gyllenhaal and is set to star in the horror film, Our Family Trouble. Now her production company Type A Films is also developing Rebecca Godfrey's book Under the Bridge which is based on the 1997 killing of teenager Reena Virk at the hands of a group of high school students in British Columbia. According to the story:

Godfrey, who's from the same area, returned to her hometown to research the eight high schoolers who were charged in the case, investigating the cliques at the group's well-off school as well as the life of Virk, the daughter of Indian immigrants. Two of the students were convicted in 2005.

Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen) is set to direct. It's not clear whether Reese will star in Under the Bridge, but Type A has bought the rights to Godfrey's story so maybe she'll take on the role. Either way, it's a far cry from her Legally Blonde days, no?

The Vampire Diaries "Our Town": The Good, The Bad, and The Bloody

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 08:15:48 PST

After last week's epic kiss, this week's episode of The Vampire Diaries is almost a little disappointing, except that so many other crazy non-Elena/Damon things happen. It's Caroline's birthday, but it's not all cake and tequila shots with her friends, and Stefan tries his hardest to be a baddie but just ends up looking like a jerk.

On the Damon and Elena front, she's still feeling bad for having Jeremy sent away, and Bonnie has some harsh words for the already guilty-feeling Elena. I'm ready to get down into it, so if you are too, let's deconstruct it into the good, the bad, and the bloody after the break.

Be Prepared! 9 Earthquake Safety Tips For the Office

Emily Co — Thu, 12 May 2011 03:05:51 PDT

My office sent my colleagues and me to an earthquake training 101 class yesterday - it was very interesting and a little bit terrifying. For one, the presenter showed us a simulation of what the Bay Bridge in San Francisco will look like if there was an earthquake that rated a 7 on the Richter scale rippling through the city. Suffice to say, the image of the bridge bending like playdough seriously scared me. I'm going to start being more prepared for natural disasters, and you should do the same with these tips:

Sensible Footwear: If you're a heel-loving gal, make sure you at least keep a pair of sensible shoes with thick soles at the office. This is so when you walk home, your feet will be protected from the rubble and glass bits.
Masks: If parts of buildings have collapsed or fallen, the air is bound to be dusty. Get a mask that will filter the dust out so you can walk home.
Food and Water: Make sure your office has a storage of water and food to sustain you for 72 hours (it's the most critical time for an earthquake).
Duck, Cover, and Hold: The most dangerous thing that can happen indoors is falling objects, so make sure you get under your desk when the ground shakes and hold onto it.
Wait For It: Check with your building if this applies to you, but they should have earthquake announcements that will inform people when it's safe to leave by the stairs. Although your immediate impulse will be to go home and get away from your office building, wait for the building to announce if it's safe to leave. Sometimes the stairs might not be reliable, and your building will let you know if there are any problems with it.

A Semi-Precious Makeup Look From MAC

Miriam Lacey — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 05:00:41 PDT

I love MAC's beautiful mineralized shadows and blushes. But because of the way they're packaged, it's nearly impossible to tell what they actually look like on your face. The brand's new Semi Precious collection doesn't hit counters until next week, but I've previewed a pretty look that I think uses the best colors of the collection. See the photo and breakdown after the jump.

Get Red-Carpet Ready With Makeup Tips From Olay Celebrity Makeup Artist Bruce Grayson

Sponsor — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 03:00:00 PST

Whether you're walking the red carpet or watching the awards show from the comfort of home, we all want to look like a star. Fortunately, Oscars Makeup Department Head Bruce Grayson is here to help! Check out Bruce's tips to achieve your own on-trend, award-worthy look.

What trends should we expect to see this awards season?

Red, tangerine, and nude beige are the hot lipstick shades that will be all over the red carpet this year. To get your own perfect pout, apply the first coat straight from the lipstick tube, then dab a second coat just on the center of the bottom lip. For the eyes, you can expect to see gold in sheer metallics and shimmery textures. One trick I like to do is apply a dash of gold in the inner eyelid to lighten the area next to the bridge of the nose.

What are three essential items for all makeup bags?

To keep you bright-eyed throughout the night, I recommend the new Olay Total Effects Line & Dark Circle Minimizing Brush. This clickable brush pen is an on-the-go beauty essential that reduces the appearance of darkness under the eyes - with just a sweep of the brush! Not only does it provide a great base for makeup, the formula fights seven signs of aging - like uneven tone and loss of elasticity - for long-term skin benefits.

A red lipstick or gloss. Even if you are in a hurry, taking a few seconds to apply a bold lip color helps give your overall look an extra pop. And you can't go wrong with red - there's a shade out there for every skin tone.

A sweep of blush over your cheeks is the best way to wake up dull, tired skin especially during cold winter months. A cream blush is a beauty must have as it gives a sheer, natural healthy glow, while contouring your face.

What is the best way to prepare your skin for a big event?

Stick to your usual skincare routine - cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing - before your big event. You don't want to try anything new or drastic that your skin may react poorly to.

Speak Up: Which Holiday Travel Is Least Stressful?

Leta Shy — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 03:47:22 PST

Most holidays I alternate between driving down and flying to see my parents, since they don't live too far away. So I've become accustomed to both the bumper-to-bumper traffic and the long security lines that either driving or flying during the holidays can offer.

This year may be more stressful that recent years past. Drivership is up, according to AAA, and not only that, all that TARP funding during the recession has meant construction on our highways and bridges; not a good thing if you need to get somewhere fast. Flying instead? Look out for the controversial new full-body scans to cause some chaos, not only because of unfamiliar regulations but because if you opt for the full pat downs it can take longer.

Which way is the least stressful way to travel this holiday for you - driving, flying, or hopping on a train? Either way, chances are you may find your blood pressure rising. Check out some great tips on destressing after the break.
