Halloween Costume Idea: Ursula the Sea Witch

Miriam Lacey — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 10:35:51 PDT

The costume: Ursula
For all her evil, there's something distinctively sexy (and cool) about power-hungry Ursula the Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid. If you're ready to step over to the dark side this Halloween, she's also a simple way to go bad in the best way possible.

Hair and makeup: Ursula is great, because you just need some purple face paint, red lipstick, and white temporary hair color or a cheap wig for her entire "look." If you're going the temporary color route, style your hair up as high as it will go (if it's short, you want it standing on end), and shellac it down with the spray color. Then slather yourself in face paint (preferably in liquid form if you want it to be fast), and pop on your red lips.

What to wear: A long, strapless black dress with slits in it to create the look of tentacles.

Take it to the next level: Instead of just cutting out tentacles, grab four pairs of opaque black tights and stuff them full of newspaper or plastic bags, then glue or sew them on your dress. Your extra legs will get plenty of dance floor space.

Dude Sings Like a Lady!

GiggleSugar — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 12:30:00 PST

You gotta see this to believe that there's a man behind this voice- not a young man, but a grown man. Little Ariel must be thrilled to have this biped take her song and run with it. He's impressive, but I wonder how his talent fares with the ladies. . .

The Little Mermaid Gone Wild (NSFW)

GiggleSugar — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 04:00:00 PDT

They say that naughty visuals are hidden in many of the Disney films, but I have yet to find them. I can't say the same for this version of The Little Mermaid, in which Ariel openly sings of her dirrty wants, fantasies and STDs. Whoever rewrote this song has poor Walt Disney rolling over in his grave. Is nothing sacred?! (Thanks, College Humor!)

Once Upon a Time Stars Dish About Their Hopes For Season Two

Maggie Pehanick — Thu, 17 May 2012 05:30:01 PDT

ABC's hit show Once Upon a Time has been renewed for a second season of fairy-tale fun, and no one is more excited than the cast. We caught up with some of the stars of the show at ABC's Upfronts party in New York City and chatted about who they'd be excited to see on the show, and what upcoming ABC shows they're adding to their DVRs.

BuzzSugar: Where do you hope your character goes next season?

Josh Dallas (Prince Charming / David): I just hope it gets more and more complex and intricate. I hope they give more of the backstory of Charming and who he is. We still don’t know his real name. We don’t know the whole story with him and his mother and his father. I think what’s great is that we’re going to be able to go back and look at all the characters that we’ve already established and dig deeper and deeper into them, and also have new people from the fairy-tale world.

Buzz: Which characters from the fairy-tale world would you like to see introduced?

Ginnifer Goodwin (Snow White / Mary Margaret): Oh, I’d love to meet Ariel, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty - her job might be a little boring though.

JD: I would love to see Jack and the Beanstalk. I would love to see Ariel, The Little Mermaid, there are so many!

Lana Parilla (The Queen / Regina): There have been rumors about a mermaid appearance so I’m sad that I won’t be playing it. Every little girl’s dream is to play a mermaid. I had all my cousins convinced I was a mermaid when I was little, I was a better swimmer and they couldn’t go as far as I could out in the ocean.

See what else the Once Upon a Time stars had to say after the jump.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Take Their Princesses to Disneyland

Katie Henry — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 15:17:28 PST

Ben Affleck and pregnant Jennifer Garner packed up the car and headed out to Anaheim on Tuesday for a visit to Disneyland with daughters Violet and Seraphina. The foursome walked around the theme park together and even stopped in a gift shop to pick up a Little Mermaid doll. It's been a busy week for the couple, especially for Ben. Ben joined Facebook and shared photos of his trips to Africa. Jen, who is due to give birth this Spring, spent her time stocking up on juice and hitting a spa to get her nails done.

What I've Learned From Baby Number Two

BabyCenter — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 03:15:00 PST

We're excited to share this post from our partners at BabyCenter! Every week, we will be bringing you the best parenting and lifestyle stories from the experts at BabyCenter, including this post from Carolyn Robertson about lessons learned from a second child.

Motherhood has been a very humbling experience so far . . . which is a nice way of saying it’s knocked me on my ass many times over. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve been midconversation with another grown-up and suddenly realized that (a) my breasts are leaking, or (b) I have a crusty old food stain on my shirt, or (c) I am decorated with Little Mermaid tattoos and sparkly dinosaur stickers and Phineas & Ferb Band-Aids.

I assumed, though, that I would have a much better handle on things the second time around. Sleep issues, tantrums, separation anxiety, potty training: been there, done that, bring it on. And then I met my second daughter.

Here are a few things that I’ve learned from baby number two:

Sleep training doesn’t always work: I was one of those moms who swore by sleep training. CIO works, I’d tell my mom friends. It’s not fun, but if you stick with it, it works. My oldest, after all, started sleeping through the night and never stopped after we let her cry it out at 6 months old. Well, it turns out it doesn’t always work, after all. I did everything exactly the same with Amelia, but at 21 months old, she’s still not a great sleeper.
Sometimes babyproofing really is necessary: I read in some baby book that we do our kids no favors when we babyproof the home - they have to learn limits, after all. Made sense to me! So with our first, we did the bare minimum (baby gate on the stairs, potentially poisonous stuff out of reach) and took care of everything else with a firm “no touch!” and gentle redirection. Worked like a charm. We figured we’d do the same with our youngest, but as it turns out our little angel loves to body slam the window screens and climb into the fireplace. Everything - everything - goes in her mouth. We tell her "no," we redirect, and she laughs and becomes that much more determined. Our house is now so childproofed that even I have trouble getting into the kitchen cupboards.
No two kids are the same: My first is shy and cautious - my second would run into traffic to hug a stranger. My first is sensitive and gentle - my second is a crazy little steamroller. They are different in every way imaginable, and I’m starting to see that all those tried-and-true tricks that worked for one probably won’t work for the other.

One last thing I’ve learned? You really can love another baby as much as you love your first. I harbored secret fears that I would never be able to love any other child with the depth and intensity that I do my older daughter. I was wrong.

What did you learn from your second - third or fourth - child?

Jennifer Morrison Talks About the Fairy Tale She Wants on Once Upon a Time and Emma's New Love Interest

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 14:34:19 PST

Jennifer Morrison plays Emma on Once Upon a Time, the show's reluctant heroine who has been chosen to break the curse of a town full of fairy-tale characters. I chatted with Morrison about the series, and I had to know how she felt about Graham's shocking death and whether we'll ever see him again. We also discussed the upcoming tales we'll get to see on the show, including the story Morrison would love to see play out. Read my interview below, and if you want to catch up with the show, you can watch episodes online here.

BuzzSugar: We were really upset when Graham died; were you sad when you found out it was going to happen?
Jennifer Morrison: Well, we knew what was coming in the story line since the beginning of the season. But all of us were upset because we love Jamie Dornan, and I thought he was just absolutely fabulous in the show. We all were very close, you know? So it felt like a huge loss, not just on the show, but just personally. We were all really close friends, and we still feel that loss. It feels weird with him not being in Vancouver with us.

Buzz: Is there any way that Dornan might return?
JM: The thing is, just because he died in reality doesn't mean that he can't return as the huntsman, because those are flashbacks. So, depending on the structure of the show, and the story we decide to tell, as far as I understand, there's room for him to exist still in fairy-tale land.

Buzz: With him gone, is Emma getting another love interest?
JM: Well, this last episode that aired, there's a stranger that comes to town, played by Eion Bailey, who is in that very last scene in that last episode that aired. I don't know for sure where they're cutting this at, but I know that there is a possibility that this stranger in town could somehow be connected to Emma at some point. Beyond that, I don't really know.

To find out what else Morrison said about the show, including the fairy tale she hopes to see on Once Upon a Time, just keep reading.

Jessica Alba Lands in Cabo to Start a Mexican Family Vacation

Allie Merriam — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 06:18:42 PST

Jessica Alba touched down in Cabo yesterday with her daughters, Haven and Honor. Haven, who's just 4 months old, was safe in her stroller while Honor helped with the bags. A few fans asked Jessica to pose for a picture, and the actress sweetly complied. Jessica's husband, Cash Warren, had no trouble easing into the relaxing. He was pictured spending the afternoon at an outdoor bar, drinking beers with pals.

Jessica and Cash are set to ring in the new year in Mexico with family and friends. The fun started last night, though, when Honor did a Little Mermaid routine with two other youngsters. It was an extra special year for Honor, who, in addition to welcoming a sister, got to visit with Santa and open up a bright pink Barbie car on Christmas morning.
