Trend Alert: Little Plaid Jackets

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:30:22 -0800

I have three, and counting. Even though little plaid jackets feel so right in the Winter, a lighter weight one, or a freshly colored one, can translate for Spring, too. Who's that girl in her LPJ? Why it's the always-adorable Christina Ricci. She teamed hers with skinny jeans, cat-eye sunnies, and a luscious gray Chanel bag. Not too shabby. A look that works for both the city and the country - and the road trip in between.

Christina and Curtis Are Welcomed to Miami

PopSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:30:17 -0700

Christina Ricci was in a bikini earlier this week while vacationing in Miami with her new guy Curtis Buchanan, who's an LA-based photographer. The duo have been spotted out and about together for the last month or so, as Christina moves on from former fiance Owen Benjamin. Last September a different ex was enjoying her two piece collection, though this time she was featuring much shorter hair.

Get Christina Ricci's Rosy Lip Stain, Support a Good Cause

BellaSugar — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 04:00:02 -0700

I'm loving Christina Ricci's makeup look from the recent Spike Scream Awards in LA, and lucky for us, we've got the scoop on the perfectly rosy lip gloss shade she wore as a stain while presenting the Breakout Male Performance award to Twilight's Taylor Lautner. It's from Lancôme's new lollipop-inspired La Collection Lollipop ($35 per kit). Each limited-edition gift set comes with a Color Fever Gloss - Christina wore Ma Cherie Cherry - and a Le Vernis nail polish. Five dollars from each sale goes to the Anne Hathaway-backed Lollipop Theater Network, a nonprofit that organizes film viewings for very ill children and teenagers. Also available are Mademoiselle Grape and Bon Bon Strawberry, with each kit's artwork designed by kids. Which one do you ~~lick~~ like most?

The Hottest and Coolest at the Spike Scream Awards

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Wish I'd been there. The Spike Scream Awards gathered the hottest and coolest of the scary genre Saturday night. Twilight fans had Taylor Lautner to scream at, True Blood lovers cheered on the award-winning show, Vampire Diaries newbies flaunted their stuff, and directors Quentin Tarantino and J.J. Abrams received recognition. Style mavens Kate Bosworth and Liv Tyler were even there. Lush leather, short skirts, and severe black dominated, but no one can ever upstage Johnny Depp's eclectic element. Check it out!

New York, I Love You: A Jigsaw Puzzle That Doesn't Quite Fit

BuzzSugar — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 07:30:00 -0700

As a city with so much personality and penchant for possibility, it's no surprise that the follow-up to Paris, Je t'aime heads to New York. New York, I Love You is a tale of the connections and personal missteps that occur every single day in the city that never sleeps. It plays out like a movie version of a song mash-up: some story lines are linear and independent of the rest while other characters wander in and out of each other's lives. Throw an all-star cast in there, and you could possibly have a recipe for perfection.

Unfortunately, the ingredients don't blend together as well as I had hoped, and instead we're left with an engaging but bland look at a handful of trials and tribulations in relationships. To see what I mean, just read more.

Made up of a series of short films, New York, I Love You is an homage to the city as well as the residents who hold it near and dear to their hearts. The "anything can happen" theme is alive and well, as strangers become acquaintances and friends, putting so much emphasis on each and every interaction that we take part in on a regular basis.

You meet a few characters that represent New York well enough; Bradley Cooper is the guy who's constantly jumping into a cab the same time as someone else, Orlando Bloom is the struggling musician who turns to Central Park for inspiration, Hayden Christensen is the pick-pocket who's as sexy as he is dangerous. But sometimes it feels just a little too forced; like the film is primarily concerned with proving that New York is a melting pot. Rather than seeing a few love stories shine through stereotypes, I was more distracted by the fake accents.

As with Paris Je t'aime, some of the stories shine brighter than others. Natalie Portman directs a sweet piece about a relationship between a father and daughter; Olivia Thirlby and Anton Yelchin are refreshing as a younger pair who makes the prom a night to remember. The lighter films are breaths of fresh air amongst others that are trying too hard to be hip and stylized.

The ensemble cast certainly gives the movie a boost; even when it's not provoking the deepest of emotions, the film always had my attention. There are solid performances all-around, particularly from Chloris Leachman and Eli Wallach as an aging couple who are still bickering when they aren't helping each other cross the street. It is the most hopeful of the scenarios, and by far the sweetest and most touching.

The film provides plenty of the standard money shots of Manhattan: a typical day in Grand Central Station in fast forward, subway rides, hours of people watching in a coffee shop. The encounters feel authentic and realistic, but the failure lies in the inability to make us feel something on a deeper level. Sometimes you can relate to the characters, and sometimes you feel sorry for them, but it doesn't squeeze your heart nearly enough - and with a title like New York, I Love You, this a disappointment.

This Week's Fab Faves

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:00:22 -0700

The red carpet was just as exciting as the sidewalk this week. We kicked things off with the Teen Choice Awards so I had to throw in a couple beauties from that. In addition, we saw mega-magnetic couple Brad and Angelina at the LA premiere of Inglourious Basterds. Then it was a slew of cute, flirty Summer-appropo dresses, shorts, and rompers. Who was your favorite from this hot August week?

Trend Alert: Oversized Cat Eyes

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 07:50:22 -0700

There are many reasons why I adore Christina Ricci's casual Cali ensemble, but it's her tortoise Tom Ford oversize cat eyes that immediately caught my attention. These supersized sunnies - my favorite shape to date- complement most faces and add extra mysterious sass to any look. They transformed her outfit from cute to cunning and can do the same for you.

To Bang or Not to Bang?

Now, if we were on Très taking one of her Do, Dump, or Marry polls, or we were talking about the manliness of Robert Pattinson, that would be a whole other story. But since we're on Bella, when it comes to banging, you know it's all about the fringe. Now, it's time to vote. When it comes to bangs, which celebrity looks do you prefer? You know the drill. Heh.

Basterds Hit LA With Angelina, Brad, and Lottery-Winning Diane as Cast Gushes About Mr. Pitt

Molly — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 06:00:45 -0700

Inglourious Basterds took over LA last night for its big star-studded red carpet and premiere. All the stars of the film were there, but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had all eyes on them as they posed lovingly in matching black. On Sunday, Brad skipped the press junket, but some of his costars were happy to talk about working with him. Diane Kruger, who looked amazing as usual at the screening, said, "What I really admire in someone like Brad, who's such a big movie star, is that he's truly all about the work still. It's not all about being Brad Pitt on set. He's dedicated." She also gushed about working on the movie saying, "I've won the lottery. I'm in a Quentin Tarantino movie. I'll be cool with my kids forever!"

The movie features many other foreign actors alongside Brad, B.J. Novak, and Eli Roth. Irish actor Michael Fassbender said of Brad, "He's one of the good guys out there - to be so talented and to be at the top of his game for so long and to be so real . . . generous . . . and very supportive. It's pretty humbling." Meanwhile, B.J. talked about when Brad attended Quentin's movie nights in Berlin: "[Brad] showed up once or twice. He has a well-documented family life to attend to, but he was really good and cool about being social with everyone. He made us feel like we were part of a gang that he was the leader of." In the movie, Brad heads up his gang of Basterds, but in real life it sounds like he's a pretty good leading man to have around too.
