On Our Radar: Upcoming French Flick Targets Fashionistas

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 02:00:22 -0700

French director Laetitia Colombani's next flick could have us pining for fashion in the way that Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette left us drooling for macaroons.

Mes Stars et moi or My Stars and Myself, starring Emmanuelle Béart (left), Catherine Deneuve and Mélanie Bernier, is about actresses who go from fashion shoots to premieres wearing the trendiest designer brands. Supposedly, Béart sports Dior couture; Deneuve goes all out in Yves Saint Laurent, Hermès, Prada, and Fendi; and Bernier dons Lanvin. These lucky ladies can be seen on French screens in October.

Girls on Film: Ali Stephens, French Revue de Modes

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

In this Halloween-inspired edition of French Revue de Modes, Ali Stephens shows off her fashionable crime-fighting abilities in a black and white editorial shot by Thierry Le Goues. With a hunky Batman by her side, Ali tackled the streets in an array of leopard print bodysuits, checkered frocks, avant-garde coats, and ornate LBDs. Of course, every sexy superhero needs thigh-high leather boots, statement belts, and slick leather gloves to complete the look. Oh, did you notice how Ali's big wavy hair and thick eyeliner is reminiscent of Lynda Carter in Wonder Woman? So rad. If only I could look this good on Halloween . . . Source

Isla Fisher Lands Two New Movie Roles!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 05:30:33 -0700

Isla Fisher's career has yet to live up to my expectations. I loved her in Wedding Crashers - who else can hold their own against Vince Vaughn the way she did? - but then Definitely, Maybe and Confessions of a Shopaholic weren't the launch into leading lady status that I'd hoped they'd be. Earlier this year, we heard that she was working on a film script with Amy Poehler, but we still haven't seen her on the big screen in months. Too long if you ask me.

But wait! This week's casting news reveals that Fisher has two new films in the works at Universal. First up is Life Coach, about a woman who consults - wait for it - a life coach. The second project is a rom-com based on a French script titled, Un Jour Mes Princes Viendront or in English, One Day My Princes Will Come.

With so few details at this point, it's hard to say whether either film will prove to be Fisher's big breakthrough, but I really want to see her career take off as the A-list funny lady I know she can be. I'm keeping my fingers crossed - how about you? Are you excited to see Isla Fisher get more work?

Robbie and Ayda Arrive In LA After Focusing On France

PopSugarUK — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 02:13:00 -0700

Robbie Williams and his girlfriend Ayda Field arrived in Los Angeles last night after he finished up his promotion commitments in France for his new single "Bodies". We saw Robbie in Paris earlier this week as he made his way from his hotel in his pyjamas while carrying a lightsaber, and he still injected a little fun into his outfit at the airport with some brightly coloured sunglasses! NRJ radio played host to Robbie while he was in France and they filmed the interview, which has Robbie speaking French, catching up with David Ginola, and re-extending an invite to his house to Tom Jones. It sounds like he's happy both in his personal life with Ayda, and being back in the spotlight with his new music!

Leonardo DiCaprio had his comfy neck pillow conveniently attached to his backpack at the Nice, France, airport on Sunday. Leonardo has been working on Inception in Paris, and even though they're still in the process of making the movie, the director Christopher Nolan has already released a teaser for the film. Leo supposedly has to slim down for the role, though his shirtless physique didn't look like it was bothering his bevy of model friends in the French Riviera earlier this month.

Sole Inspired by Julia

partysugar — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 10:30:30 -0700

Whenever I chat with someone about the film Julie & Julia, it seems the famous recipe for beef Borgignonne enters the conversation. However, when I watched the movie it wasn't this dish that stood out in my mind. It was the sole meuniere - the life-changing fish that Julia enjoyed upon her arrival in France - that I long to taste. Since I have a copy of my grandmother's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, I went home and looked for Julia's recipe.Unfortunately it's not in the book, so I hit the Internet in search of a buttery white-fish recipe. Although it's not necessarily a classic sole meuniere, I experimented with this sole and herbed white wine lemon sauce. The final result wasn't a culinary revelation, but it was decidedly delicious. If you're looking for a light, filling meal with fresh flavors, why not channel Child? For the recipe, keep reading.

Power Couple: Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 05:50:22 -0700

Marion Cotillard can stand on her own, but I quite like it when she's standing next to French boyfriend Guillaume Canet! We rarely see them photographed together, but the stylish duo were recently in spotted in beach gear in St. Tropez. Perfection. A little background on Guillaume - he gravitates toward sophisticated beauties, because, after all, he was married to Diane Kruger from 2001 to 2006. And now he's with the queen of chic, Marion, whom he befriended on the set of their 2003 film Jeux d'Enfants. She always looks flawless, while he is her cool, semi-disheveled other half. Even when he wears tuxedos and bow ties, he's never stuffy, never stiff. That's the French way. It's official: one Frenchie is hot, but two are on fire.
