Midday Muse: Everyday Art

CasaSugar — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 12:00:07 PDT

French photographer JR is known for his political art installations, but that doesn't mean every picture he captures is rife with controversial content. Sometimes, the message is more subtle. While JR may simply be showing us the gorgeous colors and patterns of the clothing on this line in Monrovia, Liberia, I, of course, will use the image to urge you to create your own fabric art installation in your backyard - on your clothesline.

Photos on Impoverished Houses Show Women Are Heroes

LibertySugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 03:00:56 PDT

The Morro da Providencia favela is one of Rio de Janeiro's most violent neighborhoods. A French photographer named JR went to the Brazilian neighborhood to take pictures of women related to the victims of violent clashes between police and drug traffickers. He then placed the pictures on the facades of the houses as part of his global project called "Women Are Heroes." By shooting women in their daily lives and posting them on the walls of their country, he hopes to reveal female dignity.

JR has brought his project to Sudan, Sierra Leon, Kenya, and Liberia, and will soon visit India, Cambodia, Laos, and Morocco. Through his work, he believes the story of these women will travel around the world. He says, "We went to see women who had struggle in their lives. When you hear the story you're like woah, maybe the person is dead inside. But then when you ask her to do faces, then you can see life."

Mini Me: Harry Connick, Jr., Georgia and Sarah

LilSugar — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 09:00:38 PST

Crooner Harry Connick, Jr. and his daughters, Georgia, 11 and Sarah, 10 caught some hoops over the weekend.

The trio attended the NBA All-Star Saturday Night at the New Orleans Arena. Dressed casually in denim, leggings and tees, the fresh faced brunette beauties look just as much like their handsome actor dad as they do their model mum, Jill Goodacre.

The music man and his wife also have a 5-year-old daughter, Charlotte. And, there certainly is no shortage of talent in this family's genes.

This Means War

In This Means War Reese Witherspoon plays a woman tasked with a tough challenge when she starts dating two guys (Tom Hardy and Chris Pine) at once, who just so happen to be secret agents and best friends. Her choice becomes harder as the super spies pull out all the stops to win her heart, including some hilarious hijinks meant to sabotage the other's efforts. It may be a corny premise, but it's easy to fall for both leading men and the script keeps it light and funny. Extras include commentary by Director McG, deleted scenes, and alternate endings.

The Woman in Black

In the Edwardian era, a young lawyer (Daniel Radcliffe) travels to a small town to manage the affairs of a recently deceased local. While he is there, he finds the real case is a string of child suicides in the area. Though he still has many demons of his own, he attempts to investigate as more children die at their own hands. Locals alert him of the legend of the Woman in Black, and before long, he has his own run-ins with the ghost, who is none too pleased to have a man encroaching upon her space. DVD extras include commentaries and behind-the-scenes and making-of featurettes.

SMG Picks Up Soon-to-Be Big Sister Charlotte From Dance Class

Lindsay Miller — Mon, 21 May 2012 10:40:13 PDT

Sarah Michelle Gellar gave her daughter Charlotte Prinze a lift as she took her to ballet class on Saturday in LA. Charlotte was sporting a leotard and a cute animal-print skirt for her latest dance lesson. SMG, who is expecting her second child, has been toting Charlotte to and from the studio frequently. Earlier this month, she and Freddie Prinze Jr. spent a day at the zoo with their little one. SMG seems to be enjoying her break from work, and although it was recently announced that her series Ringer won't be renewed for a second season, she has plenty to look forward to with a new baby on the way. Meanwhile, Freddie could potentially be back on TV in the Fall, having signed on to shoot a new pilot for NBC alongside Mena Suvari.

Freddie Prinze Jr. Joins Charlotte and Pregnant SMG at the Zoo

Lauren Turner — Tue, 15 May 2012 19:53:00 PDT

The whole Prinze family headed to the LA Zoo for an afternoon of fun last week. Sarah Michelle, who is pregnant with her and Freddie's second child, carried a camera while he held their daughter Charlotte. The group got a ride through the park on a golf cart and checked out a few animal exhibits before stopping to take photos at a lizard statue. SMG and Charlotte have been out and about multiple times this Spring while SMG is on a break from work. She should have more time to spend close to home now that her CW series Ringer was just canceled. There's plenty on the horizon for Sarah Michelle though, with the arrival of her next baby later this year.
