Recast Golden Girls and Win a Prize!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 15:30:19 -0800

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

If you could recast this 1985-1992 TV show with new actors, who else could capture the charm and pep of these funny ladies in their "golden" years? Who could play the flirty Southern belle Blanche, sweet Rose, no-nonsense Dorothy and her wisecracking mother Sophia?

Leave your entry in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature Tuesday, November 20, complete with a "new" cast photo.

To see a list of characters to recast and a photo of the BuzzSugar t-shirt, read more

Characters to recast:
Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak (Beatrice Arthur)
Rose Nylund (Betty White)
Blanche Devereaux (Rue McClanahan)
Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty)

If you need more of a refresher - or just a sweet trip down Memory Lane - check out the opening to Golden Girls. "Thank you for being a friend!"

Product of the Day: Rue McClanahan's "Cat Care" Video

GiggleSugar — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 02:00:00 -0700

I think there are like three of these left on Amazon (all on VHS). How awesome would it be to have one of the "Golden Girls" on videotape talking about how to care for cats? Talk about two for the price of one. (Love the ginormous kitty looking down at Rue on the cover.)

Celeb Appearances Cost a Pretty Penny, Part II

SavvySugar — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 14:03:00 -0800

We already know that some celebs aren't making quite as much as they used to, but others are still making serious bank. Mariah Carey has tripled her stock since 2006 from $1 million per private appearance to $3 million! Pamela Anderson has learned that time is money, increasing her fee from $75,000 to $250,000. Maybe butterflies and boobs just never get old?! I'm not sure how much Pam charged for hosting the NYE party at Pure, but she's not the only blonde who's paid to party. Even Golden Girl Rue McClanahan (man-hungry Blanche) earns anywhere from $25,000 to $35,000 to make an appearance.

It's really none of my business how millionaires choose to spend their cash, and I can't help but think if I were one of them, I'd be tempted to rent, say, Brad Pitt. Maybe there's even a discount if you don't want them to actually do any talking? Kidding, kidding. How do you you feel about the "rent-a-celebrity" business? Do you think it's a waste of money that could go to other causes, or is there a price you would pay to have your favorite celeb show up at your front door?

Geriatric Sex and the City

GiggleSugar — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 16:02:28 -0800

Some people say that Sex and the City had an older (in more ways than one) precursor: The Golden Girls. Carrie is to Dorothy (Bea Arthur) as Samantha is to Blanche (Rue McClanahan), etc. Well, I tell you what, I would almost rather see this following version than the upcoming movie! There's Lady Bea, Sally Struthers, Mrs. Garrett from Facts of LIfe and others! I'm dying over here. This made my day. (Thanks, Jezebel!)
