Before They Were Stars

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 08:00:22 PDT

My parents moved in college. Painfully, one Summer I had to go through all my adolescent memorabilia and clean house. I had years and years of fashion magazines and my mom was serious about downsizing seeing as how I didn't even have a bedroom to put my stuff in (boo).

My ADD went into full effect when I was cleaning out and I spent hours flipping through past issues of Vogue, W, Bazaar, The Face, ELLE and whatever else I consumed during my years of angst. Alas, fashion was/is my salvation so I could not part with these images. I decided to put my favorite ads and editorials in binders to preserve them.

Once in a while I flip through the binders to admire the pages of fashion circa 1990-2000. When supermodels reigned, Liz Tilberis was the Editor of Bazaar and grunge gave way to minimalism. Oh look, there's Diane Kruger modeling for Emanuel Ungaro before she was an actress, looking sultry as always. And Chloe Sevigny, right around her Kids debut, modeling for Miu Miu. The ever-evolving Drew also looking wonderfully alternative in a Miu Miu ad. Interesting how all three budding stars are Fab favorites.

Celebrity models are nothing new, but this is when it was.

Before They Were Stars...They Were Funny Looking Kids

GiggleSugar — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 14:30:00 PST

Can you guess the identities of these future celebs? My fave is the young beauty on the right side of the top row. I haven't a clue why she's grinning in the school picture below, but she's got every reason to be grinning these days. She's a newly liberated mother with a career on the verge of being rediscovered. Oops...I think she just might do it again! Who is she? Giggle Girls, give it a guess!

To see who these celeb cuties are,

Top Row: Drew Barrymore, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears
Bottom Row: Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson

Before They Were Stars...They Were Funny Looking Kids

Can you guess the identities of these future celebs? My fave is the young gal in the bottom row. She grew up to become a very generous Goodwill Ambassador later on in life, and is also known for an even more generous smile. There has been ongoing speculation concerning her (hush-hush) brush with collagen as an adult, but she seems genetically blessed in this early picture with a nice pucker. Who is she? My lips are sealed. Giggle Girls, give it a guess!

To see who these celeb cuties are,

Top Row: Courtney Love, Bruce Willis, Avril Lavigne
Bottom Row: Elton John, Angelina Jolie, Michael Jordan

Can you guess the identities of these future celebs? My fave is the Annie look-alike in the bottom row. This child star maintained her curly locks into adulthood and they surprisingly served her well. She was cast as HBO's leading lady in the sexiest show on television.

To see the answers,

Top Row: Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman
Bottom Row: Sarah Jessica Parker, Ashlee and Jessica Simpson

School photographs. Oh, how they haunt us! And these celebs are no exception. Rapper Eminem is my fave. Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?...because the boy in the photograph looks more like the leading character in Weird Al's White and Nerdy music video. Who would have predicted that Marshall Mathers would have a future in hip hop?

Buzz Time Machine: Matthew Morrison and Zooey Deschanel in Once Upon a Mattress

Maggie Pehanick — Fri, 25 May 2012 15:00:47 PDT

Seven years ago, before their starring roles on hit Fox series, in a land far, far away, Matthew Morrison and Zooey Deschanel were just two star-crossed lovers in Once Upon a Mattress. Disney's TV movie production may not have been what catapulted the two to fame toward Glee and New Girl, but we sure are glad this exists in the universe. I'm wondering if this song, "In a Little While," was on Morrison's audition tape for the part of Mr. Schuester.

Model Liya Kebede Talks Minimal Makeup in Cannes

Allie Merriam — Thu, 24 May 2012 13:25:43 PDT

For model Liya Kebede, Cannes feels like magic. "It gets into you the minute you arrive here," she said this morning. "It's very glamorous, and I like that it's very international as well. You see all these different people from all over the world coming with their films, which is great." It's been a big year for Liya, who was named a L'Oréal Paris brand ambassador last June and is making forays into the film world. She's currently working on The Best Offer from Cinema Paradiso director Giuseppe Tornatore.

There's more to Liya than her stunning looks, though. She won a BellaSugar beauty award thanks to her philanthropic efforts. Her eponymous foundation is dedicated to improving maternal health, and she's created a clothing line, Lemlem, which helps support craftswomen in her native Ethiopia. Today, the supermodel talked about her various work endeavors and shared her best tips on beauty, the inside scoop on her own makeup routine, and more.

BellaSugar: It's pretty surreal here. Have you ever had an incredible Cannes moment?
Liya Kebede: I think you get it every time you get here. Last time, I ran into Woody Allen in the lobby. You can't believe it - it's just insane. There's so many of these great people and stars. At some point, you don't even react anymore. You get overstimulated. Every corner is some incredible person, or you go to a party and it's full of everybody. It's amazing. You just go, "I'm in Cannes!"

BellaSugar: And part of Cannes, is of course, getting made up and looking great, which you're quite familiar with, I'm sure. What's the best tip you've learned from the pros?
Liya Kebede: Less is more. If you're going do an eye thing, then don't do a lip thing. Try to find a balance about what you do. Also, nothing is necessarily specific - using a lip thing on your eye or cheeks is fine, and it works, and it's light. Play around! Nothing is so fixed.

Ponytails Get Glamorous on the Cannes Red Carpet

Kirbie Johnson — Wed, 23 May 2012 17:17:43 PDT

The chicest hairstyle to hit the red carpet in Cannes is also one of the simplest. Ponytails are getting glamorous at the film festival, with stars such as Diane Kruger and Freida Pinto showcasing decidedly elegant versions of the classic style. We're guessing a few more posh ponytails will debut before the festival wraps up, but in the meantime, get inspiration for your own next-level style.

Bachelorette Breakdown: The Week's Biggest Whoa!-ments

Maggie Pehanick — Tue, 22 May 2012 09:13:48 PDT

Week two on The Bachelorette brought plenty of action, and I'm not just talking about the chemistry between Emily and Kermit - though that was slightly uncomfortable. No, I'm referring to the first one-on-one dates, the first group date, and all the poolside drama. It looks like we've got a veritable Real Housewives of Charlotte on our hands, only in this case the housewives are men and Botox is replaced by Muscle Milk.

I'm recounting the good times, and the especially bad times, from this week's episode when you

When Emily told Ryan they'd be baking cookies for her daughter's soccer team on the show's first one-on-one date, I was like, Whoa. No doubt this guy thought the only food preparation he'd have to do on The Bachelorette would be stomping his own grapes when producers flew him and his date to the scenic Napa Valley, and even then it would all just be for show and they'd get to drink perfectly aged Merlot by the fire while staring into each other's eyes. Not this season, buddy!
When Ricki showed up in the audience of the group date, I was like, Whoa! Wasn't the whole purpose of bringing the show to Charlotte so that Emily could still maintain some semblance of normalcy in her daughter's life? First she brings Ryan to soccer practice (but makes him wait in the car mere yards away from her daughter) and now this? (Side note: I kept thinking they should have rolled up the tinted window, lest Ricki see the strange man in her mother's car, but then it occurred to me that he might suffocate in the South Carolina heat.) Actually, come to think of it, watching your mom be the ringleader in a variety show starring the Muppets and a dozen suitors (one of which will be your new daddy!) is pretty commonplace nowadays.
Whilst lounging in the hot tub, Kalon let slip that he thought Doug "put being a dad on hold" to be on the show, and Doug was all, Whoa. Despite the fact that Kalon is coming off like a tool and clearly making no friends, Doug overreacted a touch and told him to "check it," but in a much more serious way. Kalon tried to interject, and again Doug was like, "Check it." I believe the phrase he's looking for is actually "Check yourself before you wreck yourself, bro." It also appears that Kalon is no longer "Helicopter Guy" and has now been given the nickname "Chopper," which the guys think is derogatory, but which is actually really cool and something I might try to get my friends to call me.
Meanwhile, Emily went on her date with Joe. The two dined at her local cotillion venue and put their hopes and dreams in the "love clock." After laying out his wishes to come back to Charlotte to marry her, Emily told Joe he wasn't the guy for her, and Joe was like, Whoa. It was brutal, but it was necessary.
After the loads of private time he got with her this week, Ryan still thought it would be kosher to monopolize Emily's time before the final elimination. He did this by writing her a seven-page letter and then making her read it to him out loud. It took 15 minutes, which is about two weeks in Bachelorette hours. This wouldn't be quite so bad if Taylor wasn't awkwardly waiting in the wings, caught in the unfortunate position of either backing down or breaking mid-letter-read. All the guys who were watching from outside were like, Whoa.

Did I miss any whoa!-ments?
