Super Bowl 2012: Gisele Bundchen defends husband Tom Brady, slams Patriots receiver

BSW Buzz — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:58:10 +0000

Tom Brady may not have walked away with a Super Bowl win Sunday, but he can rest assured that wife Gisele Bundchen will always play a solid defense in his name.

Shortly after Brady and the Patriots lost out to Eli Manning and the Giants 21-17, the quarterback was reportedly spotted just sitting and staring at the floor of the Patriots locker room in shock for nearly 20 minutes.

Bundchen, on the other hand, was seen stalking moodily away from the stadium to meet him with an entourage trailing behind her in a video obtained by TheInsider.com.

When fans heckled the supermodel, crying out “Eli rules!” and “Eli owns your husband,” Bundchen kept a tight smile on her face and kept walking.

But while waiting for the elevator, she could keep in her frustrations no longer.

“You have to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball,” she said angrily to those around her.

“My husband cannot f–king throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.”

In the last moments of the game, Brady had attempted a Hail Mary pass to a waiting Aaron Hernandez in the end zone, but it was swatted away by the Giants.

But by the time Bundchen, 31, met up with Brady, her focus was less on bashing the Patriot receivers who failed to connect with the ball Sunday and more on cheering up a gloomy Brady.

The couple embraced as Bundchen whispered words of encouragement to her husband of nearly two years.

Said Brady in an interview with Boston.com reporters: “You know, we fought to the end. You know, we’re very proud of that. Just came up a little bit short.”

Tallulah Willis celebrates 18th birthday, while mom Demi Moore checks into Cirque Lodge, Utah

BSW Buzz — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:23:15 +0000

Demi Moore’s three daughters are trying to find a little semblance of normalcy amid their mom’s recent meltdown, and youngest, Tallulah did just that by celebrating her 18th birthday on Friday.

Tallulah rang in her special day with close friends and family at dad Bruce Willis’ home, where she was spotted with a bejeweled tiara and flowery robe.

Though there was no evidence that a huge blowout party took place, according to the Daily Mail, several trucks with tools lingered behind the mansion, and a van from an L.A. florist also parked just outside the property.

Along for the festivities were sister Rumer and Bruce’s pregnant wife, Emma, who was spotted hugging Tallulah several times.

Noticeably absent? The birthday girl’s mother Demi.

On Saturday, sources revealed to E! News that Moore, 49, has in fact checked into the Cirque Lodge addiction treatment center in Sundance, Utah, since being released from the hospital following her Jan. 23 breakdown.

It was originally speculated that the “Margin Call” actress had quietly returned to her Los Angeles abode.

Exes Ashton Kutcher and Bruce Willis were both seen paying visits to her home late last week, but sources close to the situation have confirmed that Moore is indeed seeking “spiritual counseling” at the exclusive rehab center.

“She’s on total lockdown and only talking to a small group of people,” the source told E! News. Moore is reportedly being treated for both an eating disorder and addiction issues.

Celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan, Eva Mendes and Mary-Kate Olsen have previously sought treatment at the Cirque Lodge, and though Moore has yet to speak out about her issues, the actress has a strong support system in some of her costars and friends.

Some comments, however, should be taken with a grain of salt.

“Everyone needs to leave Demi alone,” her “LOL” costar Miley Cyrus supposedly wrote on her Facebook. “She doesn’t need the cr-p. How can you talk cr-p on someone you don’t know?

“The media makes everyone in Hollywood seem ‘weak,’ ‘stupid,’ or ‘unbalanced.’ Just because she’s in Hollywood doesn’t mean she’s on drugs. NOT EVERYONE IS ON DRUGS!!!”

Though Moore did reportedly party with Cyrus, 19, just one week before her collapse and apparent overdose, the latest comments about Moore are not real, a rep for Cyrus told BSW Buzz.

In “LOL,” Cyrus plays a rebellious teen, and Moore plays her concerned mother.

Madonna’s Performance at Superbowl 2012 Has Everyone Talking!

The BSW Fashionistas — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:35:07 +0000

This years Superbowl was all about the ‘material girl’ in her ‘material world‘ by Givenchy! Even M.I.A. flipping off 110 million plus viewers, couldn’t upstage Madonna during the halftime show last night. This may not have been any man’s dream of the perfect halftime show, but who could resist those fabulous costume changes…

Madonna at Superbowl halftime show

Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy haute couture, designed all three looks worn by The Diva, starting with a gold cape she wore when she emerged on her gilded throne looking like Cleopatra. It was encrusted with sequins, studs, paillettes, and lined in leopard chiffon, and she dropped it to reveal a gladiator-esque fringed leather dress, worn with super long gloves and thigh-high boots. Her crown designed by Phillip Treacy, came off for her major ass shaking moves.

Madonna in another Givenchy design

“Like A Prayer,” the last part of her performance, she wore a flowing coat covered in black sequins and pearls, with a wide belt cinching the waist that only Madonna’s tiny frame could pull off!

Madonna's 3rd costume change

Her performance had a mixed reaction. Many people thought she’s a bit too old to be flaunting around the way she does. Some said she still sounded great. What are your thoughts?

The Book of Lost Fragrances–The Hottest Novel from Writer M.J. Rose

The Bender Sisters — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:32:46 +0000

Are you looking for a new book to curl up with and one that will have you excited just to turn the next page? Well then look no further. The Book of Lost Fragrances, the newest novel by renowned author M.J.Rose will have you wishing you could transport yourself to Paris.

Did you know that Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, was fascinated by scent? Some say even obsessed. Marc Anthony built her a fragrance factory, and the famous queen was said to have kept a recipe book for her perfumes, entitled Cleopatra gynaeciarum libri. That book has been described in writings by historians Dioscorides, Homer and Pliny the Elder. Unfortunately no known copy of the book exists today, but that missing book stirred international bestseller M.J. Rose’s imagination and became the seed for THE BOOK OF LOST FRAGRANCES.

While writing, and to remain in the world of the novel, the author burned incense and her favorite candles; created by Frederick Bouchardy under the brand name JOYA. When the novel was finished she searched out Bouchardy to give him a copy of the yet to be published novel.

Bouchardy was instantly intrigued by THE BOOK OF LOST FRAGRANCES—first, as a reader, he said he was taken with the mystery and romance of the story. In Rose’s tale, scent plays a strong role as it pertains to memory. Bouchardy, who creates using oils and other classic ingredients, said this notion spoke to him as a designer and producer of fragrances, and thus the idea to create this beautiful fragrance was born.

The ancient fictional fragrance at the heart of Rose’s novel is called Âmes Sœurs, which means “Soul Mates” in French. Inspired by the book, Bouchardy has brought the perfume to life with his version: Âmes Sœurs, The Scent of Soul Mates.

Bouchardy interpreted Rose’s imagined fragrance with notes of Frankincense, Myrrh, Orange Blossom, and Jasmine. He began his work with a master perfumer, experimenting with his library of oils, ultimately creating a smoky incense fragrance with a bright, uncommon finish. A perfect combination of fragrance, fact and fiction, Rose and Bouchardy have brought both perfume and storytelling to a new place. Rose spins a tale replete with stunning twists and compelling characters that will keep you turning the pages late into the night, and as a unique and talented fragrance designer, Bouchardy has created a scent as complex and compelling as the novel.

A little teaser to pull you in….

“Jac L’Etoile has always been haunted by the past, her memories infused with the exotic scents that she grew up surrounded by as heir to a storied French perfume
company. In order to flee the pain of those remembrances—and of her mother’s suicide—she moved to America. Now, fourteen years later, she and her brother have inherited the company along with its financial problems. But when Robbie hints at an earth-shattering discovery in the family archives and then suddenly goes missing—leaving a dead body in his wake—Jac is plunged into a world she thought she’d left behind.

Back in Paris to investigate her brother’s disappearance, Jac becomes haunted by the legend the House of L’Etoile has been espousing since 1799. Is there a scent that can unlock the mystery of reincarnation—or is it just another dream-infused perfume?”

THE BOOK OF LOST FRAGRANCES fuses history, passion, and suspense, moving from Cleopatra’s Egypt and the terrors of revolutionary France to Tibet’s battle with China and the glamour of modern-day Paris. Jac’s quest for the ancient perfume someone is willing to kill for becomes the key to understanding her own troubled past.

THE BOOK OF LOST FRAGRANCES will be available March 13, 2012 for $24.00 but, we’d like to invite all of our readers to be among the first to receive a sample of Âmes Sœurs, the scent of soul mates, an exclusive, mystical fragrance, inspired by The Book of Lost Fragrances, which Publishers Weekly calls a “deliciously sensual novel of paranormal suspense…” just for pre-ordering your copy.

Ultra-Soft Smoky Eye Makeup As Seen On Kirsten Dunst

The Girls in the BSW Beauty Dept. — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 02:07:51 +0000

At the premiere of her new movie, Bachelorette Kirsten Dunst sported the most perfectly undone braid across the crown of her head and a barely-there smoky eye. Her makeup artist Jamie Greenberg used mark products to create the subtle look, but suggested using a smoky eye stencil as an easy way to get the shape of a smoky eye just right.

She prepped Dunst’s lids with an eye primer, then swept a sheer shadow in the corners of her eyes and followed with a dusting of silver metallic in the creases. “To give her some depth and augment her natural eye color, I added a blue shade and lightly outlined her lower lids with a long-wear felt tip liner and shadow,” says Greenberg.

She finished up with some mascara. Dunst’s glowing skin and sheer red lip stain finishes off her look that’s glamorous without being overdone.

An Easy Way To Get Perfect Cat Eye Liner–No Flick Involved

The Girls in the BSW Beauty Dept. — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:42:12 +0000

Was Pat McGrath’s super simple trick for getting the cat eye liner on the Valentino spring 2012 couture runway so perfect?

Drawing little squares in the outside corners of the eyelids with a black eyeliner pencil and fill in. Done. No wobbly flick! Maybe for some, but using a Cat Eyeliner Stencil works too, and you can forgo the squares all together. But don’t take our word, see for yourself…

The square, not pointed, winged out liner does create a slightly edgier look but it’s not so different. It’s still sexy, yes. It’s still cheekbone-enhancing and retro in all the right ways, yes. Here’s a look at the soft, pretty way the liner was filled in and blended. Seems like a little bit of shadow might have been involved, but it may have also been just a smudge of the liner too.

And here’s the finished look on the runway. McGrath told WWD, “They really wanted the face to be very bare, and for it to be just about that square and that perfected skin,”. Job well done Pat! It’s gorgeous. Oh, in case you can’t tell, the brows were also lightened.

This picture above almost looks like the liner is winged. In any case you can create the liner with the cat eye stencil, and then square it off with a Q-tip. Very easy, and very quick.

Who here has trouble getting their cat eye flick perfect? Do you think you’d try the squares technique, or do you think you’ll opt for a cat eye stencil? Do you like this overall beauty look?

Beauty Style Watch: Best and Worst Dressed Celebrities at SAG Awards

The Bender Sisters — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:28:00 +0000

There were a lot of well dressed celebrities this year at the SAG Awards…And, just a few “What were they thinking.” So, BSW is going to hit you with our top picks for The Worst Dressed for 2012 SAG Awards first! Drum roll please…

#1 Now let me start out by saying, The Bender Sisters have met Busy Philipps several times and absolutely LOVE HER…But what the heck was she thinking when she pulled this off the hanger…? It would have been perfect for a beach party at Malibu but not for an award ceremony! And to make this outfit even worse, the blue color of her sandals don’t even match the blue in her dress. We’re also surprised she didn’t trip down the Red Carpet from the length of her schmatta...

Busy Philipps

#2 Another gal we LOVE…Zoe Saldana…She has a wonderful figure hidden by this very white gown? It looks more like an ‘Indian Sari’…All she needs is the red dot in the middle of her forehead to represent her “third eye.” We hope she realized that this dress is not a good look for her…or that maybe she needs to fire her personal stylist/dresser…

Zoe Saldana

#3 Heather Morris…Underworld/I don’t know!!! Ugh…Just awful and absolutely HATE the silver platform sling backs!

Heather Morris of "Glee"

Okay, there were a few more…However, these 3 made our Top Worst List…

Now onto the BEST…YAY!

Sofia Vergara of "Modern Family"

Sofia Vergara as always, looked stunning in her bold Marchesa dress around her sexy curves. Her jewels were by Lorraine Schwartz.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Joli

One of the best dressed couples of Hollywood…Angelina Jolie wearing a black halter Jenny Packham gown paired with vintage jewelry and Brad in Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquiere design. BSW never gets tired of looking at this hot couple! They are to be commended for all they do for others who are less fortunate! Truly a gracious couple from head to toe!

Emma Stone

BSW just adores this sassy young actress…Emma Stone sporting a flashy Alexander McQueen dress with Tiffany & Co. jewels. She picked the perfect hair style and simple jewelry to compliment her look on The Red Carpet. Bravo, girlie!

Viola Davis star of "The Help"

Hard to believe this is the same woman who gave a heart wrenching performance in “The Help.” Viola Davis absolutely glowed in her Marchesa gown as she accepted the award for Outstanding Female Actress. Her entire ensemble including her hair just looks fantastic!

Kyra Sedgwick

Kyra Sedgwick, like The Bender Sisters, defies her age in a sultry cut-out Pucci dress. She always knows what to wear on The Red Carpet and never disappoints us. She even showed off a tribute to her family…her tattoo:)

And The Bender Sisters honorable mention…

Funny girl, Melissa McCarthy

We want to give a shout out to Melissa who must of gotten our memo on “how to improv her look on The Red Carpet.” That horrible red lipstick is gone and Melissa’s hair looks more stylish and love her gown! YAY Melissa…

Demi Moore Regrets Her Public Meltdown

bsw gossip girls — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:57:11 +0000

It seems Demi Moore’s melt down has been long over due…According to recent allegations, Moore has been struggling with her age and weight for years. Her insecurities just came to a head.

Demi Moore

“She needed reassurance all the time that she was hot and sexy,” a source told BSW. “As Demi got older, she convinced herself that she needed to stay young and skinny to remain attractive to her husband.”

Moore split with husband of six years, 33-year-old Ashton Kutcher, last November.

“If anyone was uncomfortable with the age difference, it was Demi, not Ashton,” a friend of Kutcher’s told BSW. “She drove him crazy after a while with questions and doubts.” (Well, unfortunately, that’s what happens when a woman marries a younger man…Men can grow old and get wrinkles and NO ONE CARES! Not so true for a woman!)

In the weeks leading up to her breakdown, Moore was seen partying with her daughter Rumer, now 23, as well as flirting with “90210″ actor Ryan Rottman. Due to Moore’s extreme insecurity regarding her age, she often seeks reassurance by “hanging around young people,” according to a close source. So, sad…:(

After reportedly “smoking something” similar to drugs “Spice” or “K2,” she suffered from seizures and convulsions on January 23, and was rushed to the hospital. “For Moore, this was the worst that could happen because she’s such a private person. She’s so embarrassed,” BSW was told.

Well, we hope Demi get’s it together. She has accomplished so much in her life time! Unfortunately, we all grow old eventually…Totally sucks but there are so many beauty products on the market to help us do it much slower…

3 days before Super Bowl show Madonna to debut ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’ on ‘American Idol’
