Kate Hudson Slims Down For New Role
Kate Hudson dishes the skinny on weight loss, Botox, and A-rod in the December issue of Elle UK, which hits newsstands this week. The already slim star has to lose 20 lbs. for her upcoming role as a terminally ill patient in the new film, Earthbound.
Doing Drugstore: Maybelline SuperStay 24hr Makeup and Concealer
For those of you that are fans of Max Factor's Lasting Performance Stay Put Makeup (RIP, old buddy), perhaps you might find somewhat of a replacement in Maybelline's new SuperStay 24hr Makeup ($10). The consistency, which lies somewhere between Revlon's ColorStay and Lasting Performance (see my comparisons here), skews more on the slightly creamy end of the spectrum, so it's quite easy to blend.
As for the wearability factor, SuperStay definitely delivers, although by the end of the day, I did have some slick spots in the t-zone.
Tell Mommy: What Do Moms Do That Dads Don't Do?
In Motherhood, which comes out today, Uma Thurman plays Eliza, a Manhattan stay-at-home mom of two who is planning her daughter's sixth birthday party while trying to finish a parenting magazine contest entry on the topic "What does motherhood mean to you?" Small potatoes, right? The film takes place in one day, examining Eliza's cluttered life — the early morning rush of getting the kids ready, the dog, the apartments (she and her husband have set up shop in a bohemian one bedroom and studio), inability to do it all despite the pressure to be perfect, and quest to make it all mean something.
Could You Work Nights?
I've quickly become a fan of the show Nurse Jackie, but every time I watch it I am reminded that I wouldn't be a productive night shift employee.
It's clear some careers offer more appeal than others, and nursing is both rewarding, heroic and challenging, but just the idea of finishing the workday in the wee hours of the night and coming home to breakfast makes my stomach turn. I am sure I could train my body to function on a unique schedule, but don't think I could make the life sacrifices that go along with the unorthodox job.
You Know You're a Mother When: Your Daughter...
Is a Supreme Court Justice nominee and thanks you for your sacrifices. Sonia Sotomayor told the Senate Judiciary Committee:
"I want to make one special note of thanks to my mom. I am here today because of her aspirations and sacrifices for both my brother, Juan, and me.
Writer Boldly Goes Where No Mother Has Gone Before
I've had a love/hate relationship with Ayelet Waldman for some time, but the more I read her work and listen to her speak, the more I realize that my ambivalence is with the subjects she discusses more than it is with her: motherhood, work, feminism, and the idea of "having it all."
Waldman, whose husband is writer Michael Chabon, caused a bit of controversy a few years ago when she declared (in a rhetorically bold and questionable move) that she loved her husband more than her children. She said she wanted to contrast herself from the women in her circle she noticed were no longer sexually involved with their husbands because they'd subsumed their identities to being mothers.
Ask Savvy: Smokers' Clique at Work
Dear Savvy,
Lately I've been feeling frustrated about something at work and I would like your opinion.
The smoker vs. non-smokers ratio in my office is about half and half.
20 Mother's Day Gifts For $20 or Less
The recession doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style — especially not when it comes to giving gifts to your mom. (Besides, you know you'll never hear the end of it if you seem cheap. Or is that just my mother?
Do Tell: What Random Acts of Kindness Have You Practiced?
I remember when I first saw the bumper sticker that read, "Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty." (Also a book.) I had two responses. The cynic in me: "Oh, give me a break.
