Natalie's a Wonder at Mr. Magorium's Premiere

Molly — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 00:41:09 -0800

Natalie Portman looked absolutely stunning in pink at the NYC premiere of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium last night. Dustin Hoffman looks like he agrees that his costar knocked it out of the park last night with a red carpet cheek kiss. Unfortunately, her hot boy wasn't by her side for the screening. But in brighter news the Target dog was also in the house, so there. While whimsical kid-y movies don't usually appeal to me, something about this one looks totally endearing. Perhaps it's because everything Natalie touches turns to cute (you know, other than all those really intense movies she's made).

Fall Movie Preview: Kid Stuff

BuzzSugar — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 09:30:00 -0700

For the last post in my Fall Movie Preview series, let's take a look at some of the fun kid stuff that'll be hitting the theaters in the coming months. Some of these movies look like they will be lots of fun for grown-ups, too.

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
Natalie Portman, Jason Bateman and Dustin Hoffman all star in this whimsical tale of a magical toy shop. The brightly colored trailer makes the movie look quirky and cute - definitely a winner for both young and old. Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium hits theaters November 16.

Mr. Magorium's Sweet-Smelling Ads

BuzzSugar — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 16:35:39 -0700

The Los Angeles Times will feature the first ever advertisement using scented ink in promotion of this November's kids' movie Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. The whimsical film stars Dustin Hoffman as Mr. Magorium, the kooky owner of a magical toy shop. ComingSoon continues:

The Times becomes the first major newspaper in the country to successfully present and implement the pioneering application which adds a rich, new dimension to the medium. Fox Walden seized the opportunity to create new levels of involvement and connection with Southern California's readers and moviegoers and chose the universally beloved frosted cake scent to remind consumers of all ages to be young and have fun.

Times readers will be able to scratch designated areas of the Mr. Magorium ad, which will emit the frosted cake scent made from soy-based ink. "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium is about a magical toy store that comes to life," said Jeffrey Godsick, president of marketing at Fox Walden. "So when the Los Angeles Times came to us with the idea to create a magical scratch and sniff ad we felt it was the perfect fit since it brings the ad to life."

How cool is a scratch-and-sniff movie ad? It's gimmicky and, in my prediction, probably unnecessary since I think this movie will do well anyway, but I must say I appreciate the fun idea. Check out the super-cute trailer for Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium before it opens November 16.

First Look: Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

BuzzSugar — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 07:00:00 -0700

Sure, the newly released full trailer for Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium smacks of Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but there are some key differences:

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium is not a remake of a classic movie starring Gene Wilder that was darn near perfect the first time.
Dustin Hoffman as the kooky magic guy is lovable, kindly and endearing, rather than the slightly deranged Willy Wonka (and I love Willy Wonka, but I also like Hoffman's sweetness).
Jason Bateman is in this movie! As you may know, Bateman is one of my favorite people to watch. He even made The Ex almost bearable.

Directed by Zach Helm who wrote Stranger Than Fiction and also starring Natalie Portman, the trailer for Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium looks very cute and possibly quite funny. To take a peek into the wonder emporium, read more

Is Natalie's Life Going Live?

PopSugar — Thu, 10 May 2007 16:57:46 -0700

Natalie has been very busy lately - first she was promoting her new movie, then she launched her charity project and earlier this week she was working on reshoots for Mr. Magoo. We love Natalie and rumor has it pretty soon we may be able to get our fix on a daily basis. Apparently Natalie is in Silicon Valley this week pitching a continuous video feed of her life and humanitarian work to be broadcast via the internet! We're having a hard time believing this one since she's a pretty private person as far as celebs go, but if The Natalie Portman Show does get launched you can bet we'll be tuning in.

Natalie Rocks the Trump Cut

Molly — Tue, 08 May 2007 00:09:25 -0700

I"m really hoping that this is just a wig on Natalie Portman, because she was looking so cute in her curls last week in NY. She's on some reshoots for Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium in Toronto, so I do believe that my hopes are true. Not that Natalie can't totally kick ass in short hair (we know she can, of course), but this particular 'do is a little more school boy than I like on her.

Condensed Sugar: Quickie Jail Stay & Weekend Getaway

PopSugar — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 04:30:00 -0800

This week the adorable Rachel Bilson guest starred on Chuck, hung out with Ben Affleck and supported her maybe-man Hayden Christensen at the Awake premiere. LL added to her mugshot collection and Christina proudly showed off her baby bump. Jake and Reese continued their public love fest with a weekend of love! Here's what else went down:

After lots and lots of shopping in LA, Lindsay Lohan checked in and then checked right out of jail.
Beyonce jetted from South Korea to NYC to celebrate the success of Jay-Z's latest number one album.
Christina Aguilera, who is reportedly having a boy, had her first baby shower, visited the doctor's office and partied at Kitson.
It was another week of legal woes for Britney Spears, who might have failed her drug tests and spent some time with her boys before the court decided she can't drive with them anymore. We also saw what might have been at the VMAs.
Jessica Simpson was in NYC where she co-hosted The View and did lunch, but we wondered if her career affects her love life.
Kate Bosworth and her boyfriend James were also in NYC, first hitting up a party for Clive Davis and then heading out to dinner before joining the fun at 7th on Sale.
Reese and Jake left LA to visit SF! They took their romantic trip up north to Napa, before heading back home.
Natalie Portman looked adorable as usual at the premiere of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, TRL, and within the pages of this month's In Style.

Natalie Portman Has No Problem Dying

PopSugar — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 00:12:19 -0800

Natalie Portman's photoshoots have been high on the cute factor lately, posing with puppies and riding around on bikes. They fit right in with the theme of her new movie Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, but this Sunday's The New York Times Style Magazine showcases a different side of the star. Natalie has always seemed like one of Hollywood's more mature young stars, and this article and photoshoot are no exception. Here are highlights:

On growing up:
"I was once told that the age you are is the age you were when you became who you are. Does that mean I am perpetually 11? I'm not sure I want to have that strict an image. In the movie business, there is such a temptation to stick with a particular persona. There is a kind of artistic branding."
On shaving her head:
"Being bald was great, but the regrowth was the problem. My hair is very curly, and I'd have to have someone iron it if I wanted it to be straight. There was a lot of head-burning. And I started craving hair. I wanted to feel like a girl again."
On death scenes:
"I've died many times. I died in Closer, but they changed the ending and, miraculously, I lived. I also died in Star Wars and in Cold Mountain. Death scenes are not more difficult than other scenes. It's much harder to laugh than cry. I find it so hard to fake laughing. I have no laugh except my own, and that laugh is very particular, very modern. It's hard to make any other laugh sound real. It's like sneezing: you really only have one sneeze."

Natalie always comes across as wise beyond her years, even if she is only eleven at heart. Do you like these more serious photos of Natalie, or do you prefer her more fun-loving side?

Trend Alert: Bright Pink Lips

BellaSugar — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 15:00:38 -0800

The last time we saw bright pink lips like this was on Elisha Cuthbert and before that it was at the 2007 Spring Diane von Furstenberg Fashion Show. Now, two gorgeous A-list ladies are looking fierce in fuchsia!

Natalie Portman matched her dress and her lips at the Mr. Magorium Wonder Emporium premiere, while Beyoncé sported a shiny pink pout at an autograph signing in Seoul, Korea. I love that stars are starting to experiment with color. How do you feel about this bright pink lip trend? Here are a couple of product suggestions for those of you who are willing to play with pink.

Dior Rouge Dior Replenishing Lipcolor in devilish pink ($26) is a long-wearing lipstick that provides full coverage, moisture, and unrivaled shine thanks to its new Color Reveal Complex. If you are looking for a rich pink to pamper your pout, this is a pretty great product!

For one more magnificent magenta lipstick, read more

Sephora Lip Attitude - Chic in Fuchsia Vamp 10 ($12) is a moist and creamy lip color without any shimmer (kind of like Beyoncé's) but with tons of shine - think liquid lip color in a tube. The color stays semiglossy and lasts long!

I always love a little Natalie Portman, and what's better than seeing her match her lips to this hot pink number at the premiere of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium? Even Dustin Hoffman can't help but give her some sugar!

Here are two other photos of her: with nude lips in Parade Magazine and with sheer red lips at the Darjeeling Limited premiere. Which lipstick do you find the most flattering on Natalie?
