Cool Drinks For These Hot Days!
Coming back from work the other day, my car read 104°F. This weather has been so incredibly hot and nearly unbearable. I’ve been trying to come up with creative ways to combat this heat and I’ve stumbled upon a delicious way to stay hydrated and cool this summer: flavored ice cubes! This isn’t really...
S’mores Like You’ve Never Had ‘Em Before!
If there’s one thing I miss about being home, it’s the small fire pit over which my friends and I would toast marshmallows on hot summer nights like these. S’mores are not just a dessert, it’s an activity. Although ice cream comes close, no dessert can measure up to the fun had in making ooey-gooey...
Hats on Hats on Hats!
Summer is here and the sun is stronger than ever! While the hot sun means the start of long days at the pool, picnics, and outdoor concerts, it also brings a girls worst nightmare: UV damage. If you’re like me and refuse to let the suns damaging rays get in the way of enjoying the...
Brit Me Baby One More Time
So apparently Britney Spears is in talks with the producers of “X Factor” about joining the judge’s table on the hit show. I don’t know about you, but seeing Britney in the news (fine, E! News) again definitely reignited my over decade-old, undying devotion to everyone’s favorite America’s sweetheart-gone-head-shaving-lunatic-gone-low-key-mom. Even though I can admit to...
Mad Men Returns!
Come Sunday night, Mad Men fanatics will finally get a smoke-filled breath of air. After a 17-month gap, the greatly heralded period series will return to AMC for its 2-hour season premiere. Despite the long wait and the hype, relatively no specifics have been leaked about the long-awaited season. Maybe that’s due to the creator’s...
Pale Gowns Ruled the Red Carpet at the SAG Awards
Ladies at the Screen Actors Guild Awards embraced winter whites and pale grays on the red carpet on Sunday. And while each starlet sported her own twist on the trend (tassels and slits and jumpsuits, oh my!) they all looked angelic and fresh in their pale shade of choice. Check out how these sizzling women brought...
Two-Timing on V-Day
Valentine’s Day isn’t exactly my thing; you either end up on a forced, romantic date with your guy — and what’s romantic about that? — or hanging at a girlfriend’s place shoving your face with chocolate and avoiding any talk of men. But this year, there’s a third option: the movies. And with a less...
Jennifer Lopez Looking Fierce on Idol
While she may not be the harshest judge on American Idol, Jennifer Lopez definitely showed her claws while taping an episode of the hit show last week. I don’t know if it was the saturated blue leopard print of her Salvatore Ferragamo sheath or the spikes on those Brian Atwood booties, but either way that...
“Moonrise Kingdom” Trailer Premieres
It’s the moment die-hard fans have been waiting for: the official trailer for Wes Anderson’s seventh feature film, Moonrise Kingdom, hit the web on Thursday, and the 2:00 clip proves that the celebrated writer/director hasn’t lost his touch in the half decade since his last live-action film. Complete with the usual dry, quirky satire, a muted...
Film Review: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part I
As an only-slightly embarrassed fan of Stephanie Meyers’ Twilight series, I had high hopes for Bill Codon’s (Gods and Monsters, Dream Girls) interpretation of Breaking Dawn. But it seems that finally hiring a good director actually hurt the film, resulting in the most disappointing Twilight movie to date. Where the inherent corniness of Meyers’ novel is...
Carrie Underwood is as Good as Gold
Carrie Underwood pulled out all the stops for her fourth consecutive time co-hosting the CMA Awards. She changed her outfit no less than ten times, her fashion statements running the gamut from separates, asymmetrical hemlines and plunging necklines to floral prints, sequin embellishments and even a big peach tulle bow. Some of her ensembles missed the mark,...
Brad Pitt to Retire at 50
The entertainment world has been abuzz with the most recent scoop from the Pitt-Jolie clan — and no, they’re not adopting another child (at least not yet). In an interview with Australia’s version of “60 Minutes” earlier this week, Brad Pitt revealed that he will retire from acting at the age of 50. But...
Halloween Comes But Once a Week
If the sugar coma has come and gone you’re left missing broadcasts of old horror movies and haunted TV specials, Wednesday nights will be sure to satisfy your cravings until Halloween returns next year. American Horror Story, the new FX series — brought to you by the same creator as Glee and Nip/Tuck — is...
Amanda Seyfried in Fashion-Forward Floral
Although it may have taken her a while to get there, Amanda Seyfried has certainly hit her style stride. She has repeatedly shown that she can rock the red carpet in glamorous, spunky and current looks, and the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie In Time was no exception. Amanda wore a dress from...
