August Comes Early For Josh, Kirsten and Susan

Molly — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 07:45:00 -0700

The Virgin Suicides costars Josh Hartnett and Kirsten Dunst reunited on the red carpet last night for a screening of Josh's new movie, August, in NYC last night. The duo laughed it up with Susan Sarandon at the after party. Even despite his still kinda scraggly facial hair, Josh Hartnett managed to look cute on the red carpet with Kirsten. While these two young stars are a) hip and b) known to play the field, they're both single and look pretty perfect standing side by side, just saying.

Pop Poll: Josh Hartnett – Hot or Not?

PopSugarUK — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 04:00:00 -0700

What a dilemma!

Josh Hartnett seems to vary in hotness between a brooding Hollywood hunk and a greasy regular guy – and in this photo he certainly seems to be channeling the latter.

He's pictured here at an Emporio Armani menswear show looking... well... not so hot if you ask me, but in the trailer for August he's still pretty smokin'. So, perhaps it's a temporary hair-related blip?

Anyhow, I want your opinion - Josh Hartnett: Hot or Not?

Movie Preview: August Starring Josh Hartnett (and David Bowie!)

BuzzSugar — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 07:30:10 -0700

Remember in the '90s when the World Wide Web was tied to really lofty ideals? This movie does. Josh Hartnett plays a dot-com entrepreneur who, in one scene from the trailer of August insists that this new phenomenon will increase freedom and choice. Kind of amazing to hear that stuff nowadays, huh?

As we all know, a lot of people put a lot of money into this idea and then the bubble burst. This seems to be what the film is mostly concerned with, though it's kinda hard to figure out from this trailer what the real focus will be. Is it a fast-paced look at the '90s dot-com boom and bust? Or is all that just the context in which we get to know Hartnett's character and watch him grow as a person? Or both?

I guess we'll have to wait and see. One thing I do know is that David Bowie plays an "investor" and he is awesome. The movie opens July 11th and to check it out for yourself, read more.

August: The Movie That Makes Being a Nerd Look Glam

GeekSugar — Wed, 28 May 2008 11:00:51 -0700

If I was pitched a movie about the dot-com bubble bursting and the rise and fall of a start-up, I'd be Fandango-ing already - but then, again, I was the girl who loved Pirates of Silicon Valley. Hollywood execs know that nongeeks need to be drawn to see their movies, too, so they add sex and flash - which they did here with the upcoming film August. And it works!

Josh Hartnett is the CEO of fictional start-up Landshark, which appears to hit the big time in the early 2000s, and his swagger is not Hollywood crafted, rather, he seems like he did his research on Valleywag to get into character. I'll be first in line!

Casa's Must Haves for August

CasaSugar — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 05:00:26 -0700

It's a busy month for travelers, but ever since I was a kid, August has also been one of my favorite months to spend at home. There's just something about the days getting shorter that makes me want to lounge about and make the most of the remaining warm days. So for my must haves this month, I'm eyeing home finds that will let me enjoy a few more outdoor evenings and get excited to move back inside.

I've just discovered - and become smitten with - this Bola Floating Water Torch ($58). These would be a perfect way to add some extra light to a late Summer BBQ.
For a similar look indoors, I'm loving the Tom Dixon Copper Shade Pendant ($450) that just arrived at Design Within Reach.
I've got a stack of Summer reading I still need to get through, and this Pottery Barn Chesapeake Hammock ($89 to $99) will be the perfect place to finish it.
I wasn't kidding when I said I had a coral fixation, and the Alessio Emma Silvestris Mediterraneo Fruit Basket ($65) is particularly hard to resist.
Finally, I won't mind the cooling weather if I can crawl into the divine new Missoni Home Collection Irvin Bed Linen Set ($48 to $435), which includes everything from pillows to duvet covers.

Fit For August: Must Haves

FitSugar — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 03:30:00 -0700

The month of August is just plain hot. There is no way around it, but there are plenty of ways to stay cool. Here are a variety of things to help you enjoy your final days of summer in style without getting all heated up.

Staying hydrated is key in this humid month. Since water is sometimes not enough for that task, this Swigz Dual Chamber Water Bottle by Golds Gym is a great hydrating option. Put water in half and your favorite sports drink in the other and you are good to go.

For the beach I have just found these super cute hipster bottoms and tank top from Girls4Sport. Not only are theses shorts hip, they also have a drawstring so you won't end up performing a surprise peep show when body surfing. The tank has a built in shelf bra for modest support and modesty and no straps to fall down and interfere with your water activities.

Do I have more to say about these finds? You betcha, so read more

Masters Swimming program is for everyone - new swimmers and tri-athletes alike. You can master your strokes and workout with a coach at a public pool near you. How cool is that? Cardio workouts in a pool are the best way to exercise when the heat prevents you from other forms of working out. The pool will keep you cool.

If you want to drink something refreshing, chock full of antioxidants and slightly carbonated try airforce: Nutrisodas. They come in a variety of flavors with a variety of functions. My favorite flavor is Radiant - with pomegranate and blackberry. Designed with nutrients to support your skin (just in case you stay in the sun too long).

Want to keep your toes cool and tone your legs all at the same time? Then check out these FitFlops. The demand was so high that many stores sold out in mere days in June when this multi-tasking shoe made its debut, but you can pre-order them on in the Bliss website.
