Who Is Your Current Celebrity Girl Crush?

DearSugar — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 11:00:00 -0800

Drew Barrymore was quoted over the weekend, saying, "Oh I’m so in love with Penelope Cruz! She’s Aaaaahh-mazing," when talking about a potential fourth angel in the new Charlie's Angels movie. I like her a lot, too, but it got me thinking about who I absolutely love in Hollywood right now since my celebrity girl crushes change so frequently. I'd say that Kate Beckinsale, Lauren Conrad, and Freida Pinto are on the top of my list, but tell me, who is your current celebrity girl crush?

Do Tell: Who Is Your Biggest Celebrity Girl Crush?

DearSugar — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 09:00:00 -0700

There's nothing wrong with having a celebrity girl crush (or two, or three). GiggleSugar has professed her love for women like Dolly Parton and Cate Blanchett, while Buzz loves Zooey Deschanel. Other frequent girl-crush targets include the adorable Reese Witherspoon and super-stylish Rachel Bilson. The commonality? Girl crushes tend to be women whose style and looks you both think are cute and covet. I have a different one every day, so tell me: Who is your current celebrity girl crush?

Who do you Have a Girl Crush on?

Have you ever had a girl crush on someone in the non-romantic sense? Have you ever met someone whose charisma and style made you adore her and look up to her, craving her attention as if you were in a relationship with her? Well, I have! While looks and style are a big part of girl crushing, admiring an intelligent, courageous and independent woman can be good for the soul.

Now that we know what celebrity man you can spend all day thinking about, what celebrity do you have a girl crush on?

Girl Crush du Jour: Devon Aoki

TresSugar — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 07:00:00 -0700

There's something about Devon Aoki. The Japanese-German-English model and actress (2 Fast 2 Furious, Sin City) doesn't really look like anyone else, and at 5'5", she's one of the shortest models around. I haven't seen her in any of her movies, so I can't speak to her talent, but I'm captivated by her look. Call me shallow, but I have a total girl crush.

Girl Crush Du Jour: Alexa Chung

TresSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 06:00:00 -0700

Usually when someone is described as a "model turned" anything, I'm skeptical, so when I first heard about model-turned-TV-host Alexa Chung's new MTV show, It's On with Alexa Chung, I figured I'd steer clear. But after watching countless clips of the daily show, I'm smitten with this adorable British import.

It helps that even Chung doesn't relish her model past: "That sucked . . . you have to stand on a cross on the floor and no one talks to you, and I'm what you call a talker," she says in her MTV bio. Now the 25-year-old makes a living talking: she's not only cute and stylish (love this dress she wore to the VMAs) but she's also gifted with a very sassy, quick wit. To find out why else I like Alexa Chung and to see her in action, read more.

She's a bourbon drinker. Perhaps someday we can get together over old fashioneds and talk about books.
Speaking of which, her favorite book is Revolutionary Road, which I also think is awesome.
She tweets about grammar!
She's a do-gooder who is a brand ambassador for Oxfam, among other things.
Her casual but wise interview style feels like sitting around with a sarcastic friend. Check out the clip below of her interviewing Jason Bateman about Facebook, Twitter, and UFC to see what I mean.

It's On with Alexa Chung just wrapped up its first season, and it's back with new episodes Oct. 12. Are you an Alexa Chung fan?

Girl Crush du Jour: Amanda Seyfried

TresSugar — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 06:00:00 -0700

There are many reasons I'm psyched to see Jennifer's Body, the horror-comedy flick out in September. First of all, a horror comedy? Yes, please. Secondly, the trailer hints at signature campy Diablo Cody dialogue some of us have come to love. ("You kill people!" "No, I just kill boys.")

But one of the main reasons I can't wait to see it is that I adore Amanda Seyfried. She was great in Mean Girls, shined in Mamma Mia!, and I bet will be hilarious as the nerdy girl who is befriended by bad girl/boy killer played by Megan Fox. Talented, cute, and funny - with just a touch of vulnerability. What's there not to like?

Girl Crush du Jour: Kristen Stewart

TresSugar — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 04:00:00 -0700

In addition to being the vampire crush Bella in Twilight (you've heard of that movie, right?), Stewart played a troubled-but-sensitive carnival worker in Adventureland and as badass rock star icon Joan Jett in the upcoming The Runaways. I love her laid back style and that she doesn't seem to take her fame all that seriously.

Girl Crush du Jour: Food Party's Thu Tran

TresSugar — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 13:00:00 -0700

Thu Tran is a woman after my own heart. She loves art, food, and the absurd and has combined all these passions into her surreal and fun Internet show, Food Party, which has been picked up by IFC (Independent Film Channel) and debuts tonight.

Food Party is described on her blog as "a mind-bending, non-reality cooking show with Thu Tran as your hostess, a cast of unruly puppets as culinary aides, and a cavalcade of fictitious celebrities as surprise dinner guests." On IFC, the show will run a short 10 minutes with no promises you'll actually get any cooking tips.

Tran, 27, graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Art where she majored in glasswork. While a student there, she realized she loved both cooking with her roommate and making videos of their time in the kitchen. Collaborating with friends and her boyfriend, who helps her make the puppets on her show, this Pee-Wee's Playhouse of food shows took off, getting attention from a variety of websites before getting IFC's attention.

I can't wait to check out your show, Thu. And may you continue to let your freak flag fly!

Girl Crush du Jour: Marion Cotillard

TresSugar — Mon, 25 May 2009 12:01:00 -0700

Marion Cotillard blew me away as French icon and tortured chanteuse Edith Piaf in the biopic La Vie En Rose.

The talents behind her hair and makeup transformation deserve props, but Cotillard's fierce and wrenching portrayal of Piaf, particularly in her ravaged morphine addiction phase, totally earned her that Oscar. And . . . just look at her!

Girl Crush du Jour: Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs

TresSugar — Fri, 22 May 2009 10:19:38 -0700

I love when the female lead of a band commands the stage, and Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, a New York City-based indie electro pop-rock trio, has talent and charisma to spare. (And check out this girl's style! To die for.) From her crazy dancing, to her amazing voice, to her talent for rocking punky bowl-cuts (and crimson red lips), Karen O rocks. Literally. To see the video for "Zero," shot in San Francisco's very own Chinatown, read more.
