Glamour’s Women of the Year

The Lincoln Center in New York City was definitely the place to be last night.  Glamour’s Women of the Year 2007 was in the house, and some big names showed up for the festivities.

Abigail Breslin was named the first ever Girl of the Year.  She’s been a huge hit ever since “Little Miss Sunshine” made its way into theaters.  And with the success of “No Reservations,” Breslin is on her way to a serious career in film.

Jennifer Garner vs. Claire Danes: Battle On Broadway

If you’ve ever been to New York City, you know there are tons of things to do.  The only problem is having enough time to see and do everything.  And two Broadway shows are pulling out all the stops to help ensure that you stop by and see them.

Jennifer Garner and Claire Danes are starring in their own Broadway musicals.  And producers are hoping that hiring big names will bring in big draws at the box office.

Claire Danes Style Alert

Back in the 1990’s, Claire Danes was the poster child for social outcasts on her show “My So-Called Life.” And after her appearance at yesterday’s Motion Picture Club Awards, she may be the face of the fashionably challenged.

The “Romeo and Juliet” actress was seen wearing an outfit that would quite possibly make a homeless woman turn her head and offer Danes a garment of her own.

Claire Danes: Fairytales Meet Reality

Once again, Claire Danes has been able to take a complex character study and reduce all of the issues to their most basic elements. In her recent role in Stardust, directed by Matthew Vaughn, Claire plays a fairytale star come to life and cast down to Earth.

Stardust is about the journey that Claire’s character takes as she is forced to tackle several real life issues while on the run with a handsome prince (It’s Hollywood). Central to the story is how Danes’ character deals with: adolescence, adulthood, trust and independence.

Michelle Pfeiffer and Claire Danes Do Stardust

Last night under the glittering lights of Los Angeles, a bevy of beautiful stars were in attendance for the premiere of Stardust, which opens across the country on August 10th. And in a town that prides itself on being at the cutting edge of beauty and youth, this movie highlighted the success that aging stars such as Michelle Pfeiffer have been able to achieve while bucking the trend.

The Dangerous Minds actress’ role encompasses an old witch preying on the youth to steal their inner power, with co-star Claire Danes playing the perfect foil. Transforming Pfeiffer from star to hag was a four hour process that included wigs, cosmetics, prosthetics, and fake liver spots.
