TV Tonight: Army Wives Season Two Finale

BuzzSugar — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 13:30:12 -0800

I have been faithfully watching my Army Wives ever since the second season began over the summer. And now it's coming to a close, which bums me out because I actually think this season has been better than the first. It may sound cheesy, but I feel a little attached to these ladies, and I'll miss them when they're gone (I know, I know, so sappy).

If you've been watching lately, you know that Michael is being transferred to Brussels, upending the Holden family's life on post. Roland and Joan are adapting to parenthood together while Roxy and Trevor continue to attend Al-Anon and AA meetings, respectively. Over the season, Pamela has struggled with feeling safe while her husband is away and Denise, in the most intriguing storyline to me, is coming into her own as an individual and has found romance with one of her former patients.

The previews often make the episodes look intensely dramatic and the ones for tonight are no different, hinting at more heartbreak for the ladies. I don't doubt it since the season one finale left us with such a breathlessly tense cliffhanger. To check out the preview and some clips from tonight's show, read more.

TV Tonight: The "Army Wives" Marathon

BuzzSugar — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 08:30:00 -0700

A while back, I told you that I was pleasantly surprised with Lifetime's "Army Wives," which follows a group of women living on a modern-day army base. I thought it was a clever and engaging show that should transcend Lifetime's "television for women" label, and my enjoyment of it has continued to grow with each new episode since its premiere.

Apparently, I'm not alone. Lifetime said this week that the show was still growing in ratings, posting better numbers in its third week than in its first. And so, to help out those viewers who might just be hearing the buzz, Lifetime is rerunning all three previously aired episodes of the show starting at 7 p.m. Eastern and Pacific, leading into a new episode at 10 p.m.

Of all of them, the first one - which features a memorable scene with a pool table - might be my favorite, but they're all worth checking out. To watch a preview video for the series, read more

What to Watch: "Army Wives"

BuzzSugar — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 05:29:00 -0700

With all the frenzied promotion for USA's miniseries "The Starter Wife," I didn't even notice that another spousal-themed TV show premiered just this week. And I'll admit it: When I first learned about "Army Wives," I rolled my eyes, thinking it would be another helping of goopy-sappy Lifetime programming. Having watched the pilot episode, however, I've completely changed my tune.

"Army Wives" is an ensemble drama that follows several women living on an army base in present day (which is to say, in war time). There's Claudia (Kim Delaney), the strong-headed wife of a high-ranking officer. Denise (Catherine Bell) has a stern but loving husband and a teenage son with an uncontrollable temper. Joan (Wendy Davis) is recently back from Afghanistan and is having trouble re-adjusting to her "normal" life with her supportive psychiatrist husband. Pamela (Brigid Brannagh) used to be a tough Boston cop, but gave up working at her husband's urging and became a full-time mom. At the heart of the show, however, is Roxy Leblanc (Sally Pressman), a spunky, funny mother of two who is new to the army lifestyle after recently marrying a soldier. To find out more specifically why I'm loving this show, though, read more

Roxy reminds me of a slightly sweeter version of Kyra Sedgwick's character in "The Closer," and there is just something compelling about her that makes you want to keep watching. The group of women is diverse enough that their relationships really do seem unlikely, but the way they connect isn't cheesy or overly neat, as I think many Lifetime shows make things appear. Meanwhile, the writing neither glamorizes nor demeans army life, making the army lifestyle seem highly respectable, but certainly not without its problems. And sure, maybe I am the target audience for this show, but even the male writer over at TV Squad admits to enjoying "Army Wives," while acknowledging that people may call into question his manhood because of it. Personally, I think clever and engaging television knows no gender, though it's probably difficult to get male viewers to tune into a channel deemed "television for women."

"Army Wives" regularly airs on Sundays at 10:00 PM, but if you missed the first episode you can watch it online. And then come back and tell me what you think.

Double Celebrity Style: Demi Moore and Tallulah Belle Willis

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 12:00:22 -0700

I love it when mother and daughter look equally stunning. At Glamour's Annual Reel Moments event, Demi Moore and daughter Tallulah Belle Willis both lit up the red carpet. Demi did so in a black Catherine Malandrino dress, while Tallulah dazzled in a navy silk Opening Ceremony frock. Doesn't the black-and-blue combination work so well together? While mommy opted for Yves Saint Laurent's Tribute pumps, daughter went the Louboutin route. Both stylish in their own way.

Kate Winslet Denies Airbrush Rumours

BellaSugarUK — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 07:00:00 -0800

Actress Kate Winslet has rubbished claims that she was digitally enhanced for her Vanity Fair photo-shoot. She has previously lashed out at the over-zelaous airbrushing and magazines that claim she's not happy with her curvaceous figure. Kate always appears to be refreshingly down to earth, but it certainly seems like she's making something of a furore over this issue.

The British actress looks gorgeous on the cover and inside the December issue of the magazine. With big, blow dried hair and a chic cream coat Kate appears to be channeling Catherine Deneuve in Belle de Jour. Kate's rep told People magazine that "Kate is furious at suggestions that her body has been airbrushed". I have to admit her legs in particular look extremely coltish but according to her publicist that's down to a rigorous exercise plan. "She is in terrific shape and what you see is how she looks or she would never have agreed to pose for those shots" the rep confirmed.

The 33 year old star is also a mother of two and although Kate is adamantly against airbrushing, I have confess that personally if I was going to be a cover star, I'd definitely be tempted to go for a little digital help. How about you, would you want to be airbrushed if you were on the cover of a glossy?

Bella Donna: Catherine Deneuve

BellaSugar — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 09:00:08 -0700

It's time for this week's installment of Bella Donna, in which I profile beauty icons throughout the ages. This week, we're looking at French actress Catherine Deneuve, who's been called one of the most beautiful women in the world.

Over a career spanning decades, Deneuve has become the leading lady of French film. She leapt to stardom in the excellent musical Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, and her fame only increased with her following film choices. Belle de Jour and Repulsion cemented Deneuve's on-screen reputation as an ice queen to be reckoned with. Offscreen, Deneuve was chosen to represent Marianne, a national symbol of France. For more on Catherine Deneuve's approach to beauty as well as a photo gallery, read more

Obviously, Deneuve was genetically gifted to be as jolie as she is. But her approach to beauty is quintessentially French: She favors subdued eye makeup, a simple lip and perfectly touched-up blonde hair (if she's ever had roots, they haven't been photographed). She's also an icon in the fashion and beauty worlds. Deneuve is a friend of and muse to Yves Saint Laurent, who outfitted her for Belle de Jour and countless parties and events in real life. During the 1970s, she was the face of Chanel No. 5, and in the 1980s she had her own eponymous perfume. Now in her sixties, Deneuve continues to be a beauty icon: in the last five years, she's represented L'Oreal and has been the face of an eponymous cosmetics line for MAC.

A Fine Romance For CZJ & Michael Douglas

PopSugar — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 00:31:46 -0800

For those who did not make it to Tom and Katie's wedding this weekend there were plenty of other events to attend. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson joined Catherine Zeta Jones, Michael Douglas, Kristen Bell, and Christina Applegate at the "A Fine Romance" Gala benefiting the Motion Picture & Television Fund. Rita and Kristen looked fabulous but I'm not loving CZJ or Christina's latest looks. Actually Catherine's dress is beautiful but maybe it is Michael's horrible look that is bringing her down. Whatever it is, something is off with her tonight and we are a bit shocked. Maybe it's because of the tabloid lawsuit with their wedding photos still going on.

Lots more of Tom, Rita, CZJ as well as Harry Connick Jr., Jennifer Hudson, Kristen Bell, and Marissa Jaret Winokur so read more

Inside The Beauty Routines of The Very Young

BellaSugar — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 12:00:03 -0700

Do you think you're high-maintenance? Wait until you read the two-hour grooming routine of Bethany Conheeny:

After washing her naturally wavy hair, she spritzes, sprays and straightens it with £120 [around $240] designer ceramic straighteners. If there's so much as a kink left, she starts again. She's rigorous in her cleansing, toning and moisturing routine, and before leaving the house, applies a slick of lip-gloss. At the weekends, it takes longer. Bethany - who has £70 [around $140] worth of beauty treatments each week, including a spray tan, pedicure, manicure and eyebrow wax - applies St Tropez blusher, pink eye shadow and mascara.

The catch? Bethany is nine years old. To get my take on this situation, read more

Frankly, when I saw this mentioned on Jezebel, I was flabbergasted. Obviously, I love makeup, hair, spa treatments and the like-and lots of little girls are interested in playing dress-up. But this level of primping and maintenance seems unhealthy, particularly when these girls seem to be buying into the idea that they can't be pretty without spending two hours getting ready. Really, does any little girl need to have her eyebrows waxed? I can't imagine that even the prepubescent Frida Kahlo needed that!

Don't get me wrong: I think there are age-appropriate ways to enter the world of beauty, like painting toenails with Mom or wearing Bonne Bell lip balm. But some of these girls are getting leg waxes, tanning-booth sessions, and begging to wear Chanel foundation-all before they've turned 12 years old. It doesn't seem like healthy curiosity; instead, it seems like an obsession that breeds insecurity at a time when these girls need to believe they're smart, talented and pretty just as they are.

I know what you're thinking: Where are the parents? You'll be shocked-shocked!-to find out that many of them are actively encouraging these beauty routines. Catherine Conheeney, mom of high-maintenance Bethany, is hoping that her daughter's looks can help her become successful. "Bethany will need to be slim to be a model," she says. "But I'm working hard to explain that she needs the right balance of food to make sure she's healthy. I've just entered her for a modeling competition to find the next Kate Moss."

Like I said, I'm flabbergasted. Are you? Or is this merely a sign of the times?

Chris O'Donnell Is In Good Company

Molly — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 15:18:12 -0700

Chris O'Donnell was looking almost as dreamy as his Circle of Friends/Mad Love days last night at a screening of his new TNT miniseries The Company in LA. Chris hasn't had excellent luck on TV series in recent years (either written off or all together canceled), but I do love seeing those baby blues back on the small screen. This new show which premieres August 5, is produced by Ridley Scott and centers around the double lives of Cold War Era CIA agents. It sounds interesting, but anything that helps keep Chris in our living rooms for at least a little while longer is fine by me.
