Men in Black 3

Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back and in top shape 15 years after the original Men in Black. The partners are now tasked with defeating Boris the Animal (Jemaine Clement), an escaped convict bent on exacting revenge on the man who put him there: K. In order to save his partner, J travels back to the '60s, where he encounters a younger (and somewhat softer) K, played by Josh Brolin. It's a witty, welcome reminder of why everyone loved the first film. DVD extras include a gag reel, a making-of featurette, and a music video by Pitbull.

Shia LaBeouf, Jason Clarke, and Tom Hardy star as bootlegging brothers during the Prohibition era. Almost as soon as they set up shop, their American dream turns into a gangster story as their business catches the eye of a lawman (Guy Pearce). The film isn't short on graphic violence, but it also features a couple of love stories and its share of unexpectedly funny moments. Mia Wasikowska and Jessica Chastain also star in the period drama. Extras include commentary, two featurettes, a Willie Nelson music video, and deleted scenes.

Jordin Sparks Walks the Carpet 50 Pounds Lighter at Sparkle Premiere

Jordin Sparks was all smiles in NYC on Tuesday, and for good reason: not only was she celebrating the premiere of her new film, Sparkle, but also, she looked stunning in her red Alice + Olivia dress.

Jordin Sparks was all smiles in NYC on Tuesday, and for good reason: not only was she celebrating the premiere of her new film, Sparkle, but also, she looked stunning in her red Alice + Olivia dress. Jordin, 22, recently gave her life a healthy makeover, and her efforts resulted in an impressive 50-pound weight loss!

To lose the weight, Jordin mixed up her fitness routine with running, boxing, and Zumba. (She even takes her mom to her Zumba classes, which are taught by a family friend.) And because exercise alone won't do the trick, Jordin gave her diet a complete overhaul. Most importantly, she gave herself time, beginning her weight-loss journey almost two years ago. Jordin recently told Redbook, "My whole journey has been about self-acceptance. There's no quick or magical way to lose weight. You just have to do it the natural way — diet and exercise and stick to it — and be able to do it at your own pace. Everyone has their own thing."

Summer is underway and with hits like The Avengers already kicking butt at the box office, we still have so much to look forward to. May and June have us excited about Snow White and the Huntsman and Magic Mike, but even further out on the horizon, we get to see the newest installments of superhero franchises like The Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Rises. Not to say this Summer is all about the action; trailers for comedies like Ted and The Campaign also have us chuckling. Check out July and August releases and let us know what Summer blockbuster you're looking forward to the most!

Watch the Trailer For Whitney Houston's Final Movie, Sparkle

It's been less than three months since Whitney Houston's tragic passing, but her legacy continues to live on in her music and film.
by

It's been less than three months since Whitney Houston's tragic passing, but her legacy continues to live on in her music and film. Her final project, Sparkle, is a combination of both of those elements: the film stars Houston as a former professional singer who stands by as her three daughters (including Sparkle, played by Jordin Sparks) in their quest to stardom in the 1950s. They succeed in forming a girl group, but of course they run into the typical perils that go along with fame.

Though the film is a remake of a 1976 film of the same name, it also feels a lot like Dreamgirls to me. Still, seeing Whitney in something new pulled on my heartstrings a little — especially when she shows off her signature pipes. It's also fun to see Cee Lo Green looking practically unrecognizable in one of his first film roles. Check out the trailer and weigh in when you read more

One of the biggest trends of the Oscars' red carpet was the lovely march of ethereal sparkle via nude or blush gowns. Halle Berry shone in Marchesa, Mandy Moore glowed in Monique Lhuillier, and a bevy of stars proved that a little sparkle is a big way to shine. It's a refreshingly easy trend to work into your wardrobe: try a sparkly J.Crew skirt ($350) with a nude tank, or just do a little glitter for work with a cream cardigan ($29). Click items to buy.

Look of the Day: A Touch of Sparkle

Just because it's snowing doesn't mean you put on a snowsuit, particularly not if you're Fab reader elle down.

Just because it's snowing doesn't mean you put on a snowsuit, particularly not if you're Fab reader elle down. Her sparkly city chic outfit positively shines. We love how she toughened up a glam skirt with a black leather jacket and chain-link purse, but still keeps it feminine with a knotted top and sparkly earrings. Opaque black tights and black booties keep the outfit looking sleek, and Winter-weather ready.

Congrats to elle down!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Freaky or Fabulous: Super Sparkly Bodysuit a la McQueen

Is there such a thing as sparkle overkill?
by

Is there such a thing as sparkle overkill? Nah. The fact that sequins, beads, rhinestones, crystals, and all that glitters have not left fashion for years is a testament to that. Sure, in small doses it can be sweet and pretty, but that's not how Alexander McQueen rolls. Check his bronze jewel-encrusted bodysuit as seen on Abbey Lee Kershaw in Vogue Italia. Fits like a dipped-in-gold glove — head to toe and spiked heel. Her platinum locks further illuminate the scene. If I were sporting this super sparkly bodysuit I'd be hitting the town. I'm like a moth to a flame, but you tell me: freaky or Fab?
