Battle of the Gucci: Newton vs. Lively

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:00:22 PST

How much fun it must be to wear the designer's pick to a charity event benefiting a great cause like UNICEF. While the hostess, Rihanna, brought the mostess, a few other lovelies donned Gucci garb. Becki and Blake both wore looks from Gucci's dark, folksy Fall collection, and while the two have similar studded and embroidered embellishments, the silhouettes are vastly different. It comes down to your taste. Who wins?

Watch, Pass, or Rent Video Review: Men in Black 3

Becky Kirsch — Fri, 25 May 2012 10:14:10 PDT

Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back as the Men in Black when the third installment of the franchise hits theaters this weekend. This time around, Smith's character, Agent J, has to go back in time to rescue his partner (Josh Brolin plays the young Agent K). So does the film live up to the original, or is this just another unnecessary sequel? We'll tell you if the movie is a watch, pass, or rent.

Why Everyone (Even 20-Somethings) Should Make a Will

Business Insider — Tue, 22 May 2012 00:15:44 PDT

Getting a will is not just for those who are on the cusp of retiring. People of all ages should consider writing one, says Business Insider. Here's why.

Despite the well-known fact that everyone alive today will kick the bucket at one point or another, nearly 60 percent of Americans admitted in a 2011 poll conducted by online legal service Rocket Lawyer that they didn't have a will.

In fact, one-third said they'd rather do their taxes, get a root canal, or give up sex for a month than lay out their dying wishes in black and white.

All right, let's not get out of hand now.

Making a will these days is easier than ever, and if you've been putting it off simply because it seems daunting, then you could be making a big mistake.

"You do it for your family's [future]," says Rocket Lawyer founder Charley Moore. "[A will] enables you to start thinking about issues like whether you have the right insurance coverage, life insurance, and ways of replacing your lost income."

Whether you're 22 years old and just ran your umpteenth marathon or you're ready to retire, laying out an estate plan should definitely be near the top of your to-do list.

It's one of the three most important documents every adult should have.

Here are the other two, according to Moore:

A living will: Also called an advanced healthcare directive, a living will is where you lay out all the nuts and bolts of your end-of-life care. If you wind up in a coma or unresponsive in the hospital, then a living will can help your family decide how to handle your medical treatment.

Durable power of attorney: Choose an attorney you trust to administer your estate after your death, says Moore. He or she will be objective (unlike family members), and their entire job is to follow your wishes.

Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger Join More Stars at a Haiti: Carnival in Cannes

Brittney Stephens — Fri, 18 May 2012 15:06:34 PDT

Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger arrived hand in hand for the Haiti: Carnival in Cannes event on Friday. Diane wore a stunning navy chiffon gown by Jason Wu, while Joshua looked dapper in a black suit and bow tie. The event, which was presented by Giorgio Armani, supports Sean Penn’s J/P Haitian Relief Organization and Paul Haggis's Artists For Peace and Justice, as well as Petra Nemcova's Happy Hearts Fund. All three charities have helped to provide aid and improve living conditions since the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and the Carnival in Cannes fete brought a star-studded crowd together to raise money for the cause.

Other Cannes attendees like Jessica Chastain, Gerard Butler, and Chris Rock also showed up for the ritzy gala and partied alongside Josh and Diane. Diane's gig as a juror has kept the couple busy at the film festival this week. They had a fun-filled time at the Calvin Klein Cannes bash last night, which also brought out Naomi Watts and Isla Fisher.

Jay-Z Throws Support to Gay Marriage

Annie Scudder — Tue, 15 May 2012 08:45:49 PDT

Jay-Z echoed President Obama's support of gay marriage in a new interview with CNN, saying it's "no different than discriminating against blacks. It's discrimination plain and simple." The rapper has a live-and-let-live attitude on the subject, explaining: "What people do in their own homes is their business and you can choose to love whoever you love. That's their business." While Obama has one of hip-hop's biggest names on his side, reports say that his new position on same-sex marriage is leaving some black churches conflicted. While some pastors kept quiet and a minority expressed support for the president's position at last Sunday's services, others specifically reaffirmed their opposition to gay marriage. But as Jay said on the topic of black voters: "It's really not about votes. It's about people." Watch the interview now.

Fixes For These 10 Money Mistakes

Business Insider — Tue, 15 May 2012 00:15:04 PDT

Everyone makes mistakes. Business Insider shares solutions for some common money mistakes people make.

Recently, two friends confessed they live check to check - a revelation worsened by the fact that they only check their bank balance once or twice a month.

We called in the finance experts, and here's what we decided they should do to get on track.

"I check my balance once . . . every two weeks."

The mistake: The more we rely on our debit cards, the easier is to go over budget - and risk having our bank misorder the charges to slap us with overdraft fees. It's the reason my friend keeps paying $39 for that Starbucks latte.

The fix: Get in the habit of checking your bank balance morning, noon, and night, says financial expert Farnoosh Torabi. "Rather than compartmentalizing into a once-a-month chore, make checking statements a habitual, daily thing."

"What, my bank offers an app?"

The mistake: Ignoring your balance can make you "forget" about incoming bills and checks waiting to clear, and not using your bank app is careless.

It also keeps you out of sync with your money, something you don't want to do in an era of rampant identity theft.

The fix: Download the app!

5 Christian Grey Career and Money Mistakes to Avoid

Emily Co — Tue, 08 May 2012 10:53:57 PDT

One of the reasons why women love billionaire Christian Grey of the famed 50 Shades of Grey novel is that he isn't perfect. He's flawed, which suits the trilogy's underlying theme of bad boy reformation. Because of his complicated upbringing and stunted adulthood, Christian makes a lot of mistakes in all aspects of his life, which includes career and money decisions. Here are some Christian Grey mistakes we should avoid (watch out for spoilers!):

Mixing business with pleasure. When Christian finds himself smitten with the book's main character, Anastasia Steele, he offers her an internship at his company. His offer is a means to get to know Steele better, which isn't a healthy way to start a relationship. Try not to mix business with pleasure, and work with someone just because you're interested in them. Keep in mind that if things go sour, you'll end up having to work with the person and it just adds another layer of complication to the relationship.

Not acknowledging your partner's money style. Although Ana feels uncomfortable with using Christian's money, the tortured billionaire almost forces his lavish lifestyle on her - buying her a car, laptop, and BlackBerry from the get-go. You need to acknowledge your partner's style of spending and living and both of you need to come to an agreement together. Money is one of the biggest issues that couples fight about, so both sides need to respect each other's opinions and meet halfway to compromise.

Prenup, prenup, prenup. When Christian marries Ana, he does not want a prenup and goes into a rage when his dad suggests signing one. What Christian needs to understand is that a prenup doesn't mean that you're betting against the marriage. It's also a good step to openly discussing finances, which is a healthy move for couples to make.

Should You Cleanse Before Pregnancy?

Rebecca M Gruber — Mon, 07 May 2012 08:04:46 PDT

Every mama wants to give her baby the best start possible, but just how clean should that beginning be? Anna Getty, the organic living expert and founder of Pregnancy Awareness Month (which happens to be now), recently wrote about her thoughts on preparing the body for pregnancy on the Healthy Child Healthy World website. She shared her year-long, pre-conception plan to whip her body (and soul) into shape for baby, saying:

I cut out all forms of caffeine including black or green tea and (gulp) chocolate, all refined sugars, gluten, dairy, and alcohol, any form of pharmaceutical drugs like aspirin or Ibuprofen and ate a mostly raw diet. I also included acupuncture, colonics, meditation, yoga and juicing. I had planned on cleansing for a year, however, somewhere in the middle, maybe five months, of my pre-conception cleanse the spirit of my unborn daughter decided I was "clean" enough and graced my womb with her presence.

It seems everywhere I turn these days, I hear someone talking about the latest juice cleanse. Friends, colleagues, and celebrities are busy touting the weight loss and detoxifying benefits of the drinks but I never thought about using them to prepare for pregnancy. You clean baby's linens and clothes before she uses them, but do you need to clean your womb before she enters it?
