Do You Watch TV on Vacation?
This holiday weekend, many folks will pack as much fun and relaxation into these end-of-Summer days as they can. When I was growing up, this often meant spending a few days at the beach — and turning off the TV. In an effort to actually interact with each other and enjoy the outdoors, we tried not to watch television while on vacation.
Buzz's 8 Favorite Movies From Summer '09
Is it really September already? I cannot believe it's Labor Day weekend and the Summer is drawing to a close. Before we start focusing on the films coming to theaters this Fall, though, let's cast a look back at the dog days of Summer and the movies that came with them (and made this season a box office record-breaker).
Buzz In: What Kinds of Books Do You Read on Vacation?
Just as we Sugar girls are chatting about our favorite Summer reading picks (speaking of: if you take our quiz on our favorite titles, you can be entered to win a Kindle!), NPR has posted a list of the top 100 Best Beach Books Ever, as chosen by almost 16,000 readers. It's a fascinating mix of light and breezy reads, lengthy and sobering tomes, and plain ol' classics that people might not have time for during their regular routines.
I expected the first 10 titles on the list to be fairly easygoing reads since beach time, to many, is when we relax everything — including our brains.
Is This a Better Summer For Movies Than Last Year?
Every Summer boasts a ton of new movies — usually big blockbusters that are sure to bring in the mega-bucks. Last year we got some doozies (namely, The Dark Knight) and this year there are many as well (including a Harry Potter movie). Do you think the Summer of '09 has a more impressive movie offering than the Summer of '08 did?
What Summer TV Show Excites You Most?
While it might be hard to say goodbye to so many great TV shows as finale after finale airs, never fear! You and your couch can still get cozy in the coming months, as lots of great Summer series are returning and premiering this year. So tell me: which Summer show are you most excited to watch?

ABC Brings TV Show From the Writers of (500) Days of Summer
What if the Friends loft and Central Perk were infiltrated by hipsters? We might find out soon, because ABC has just struck a deal to make a sitcom called Friends With Benefits from the writers of this Summer's indie rom-com (500) Days of Summer.
Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber have been given the green light to bring their show to TV, saying, "It's about a group of twenty-somethings at a point in their lives that everyone can relate to, when they ask questions like: 'Is this your girlfriend or someone you just hang out with?
Zach Galifianakis — Love Him or Leave Him?
What is up with the Zach Galifianakis fame train?! After this Summer's The Hangover, I keep hearing his name. He's already invaded Sunday nights on HBO's Bored to Death, and he has a slew of upcoming films, including a comedy with Robert Downey Jr. and a dramedy opposite Amy Adams.
Owen Wilson to Bring Marmaduke to the Big Screen
Marmaduke, the comic strip about a giant-sized Great Dane and his owners, finally has a voice. Owen Wilson — who's no stranger to working with dogs, given Marley and Me — has just signed on to lend his voice to the trouble-making pooch in the half CGI, half live-action film set to hit theaters next Summer.
Generally speaking, I'm not a huge fan of the animated and live-person combo.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt — Love Him or Leave Him?
Ever since 500 Days of Summer, I haven't been able to get Joseph Gordon-Levitt off my brain. (And yesterday's trailer for Women in Trouble doesn't help!) It's not like I didn't pay attention to him before — I loved 10 Things I Hate About You — but my adoration for this guy is ballooning faster than his career.
Gordon-Levitt has loads of projects coming down the pipeline: his upcoming film Uncertainty just got picked up, and he has Inception with Leonardo DiCaprio and Hesher with Natalie Portman both slated for release next year.
