#1 Top Weekend Party in New York: El Rey Tulile at El Morocco

The Box

Angie Romero — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:00:00 -0500

There are a few films vying for your dollars this weekend. I do think there is extraterrestrial life out there and I live alone, so watching The Fourth Kind is out (plus the new ABC remake of V gave me my alien fix earlier this week). But the thriller The Box, with Cameron Diaz, Frank Langella, and James Marsden is finally being released today and I, for one, will head to watch it, if only because it’s based on a 1970 short story by Richard Matheson.

Off the Chain

Banana Republic is one of my top three places to shop, but it’s not until I go inside one of their stores and pass by their jewelry display that I’m reminded of the beautiful and well-made accessories they carry. You can always find classic (gold hoops), elegant (brooches), and trendy (cocktail rings) pieces at BR. Their tangled beauty necklace (bananarepublic.com, $45) is a fine example of all three, and my personal favorite.

Beauty Maverick Poll: Kate Del Castillo

Angelique Serrano — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:00:00 -0500

Just when you think you know someone, they flip the switch and you have to do a double take. Just look at actress and L’Oreal spokeswoman Kate del Castillo; normally one to stick with her signature long locks and exposed forehead, she’s recently been sporting some heavy bangs, as she did on last night’s telecast of the Latin Grammys. Do we love them? As a clip-on piece or newly shorn strands, we ask you...

Vallenato Star Carlos Vives Inspires Guitarist Jesse Cook

Grace Bastidas — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:27:58 -0500

Guitarist Jesse Cook has the spirit of a gypsy. Born in Paris and raised in Toronto, he has traveled the globe in search of musical traditions that mesh with his rumba flamenco. The destination isn’t always clear but somehow he still finds his way—the 45-year-old has seven studio albums, after all.

Courtney Ford on "Dexter" Season 4: "More Jaw-Dropping Surprises"

Lee Hernandez — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:00:00 -0500

Actress Courtney Ford’s sexy, tour-de-force performance as investigative reporter Christine Hill on Showtime’s hit serial killer drama Dexter keeps us wanting more and more.

Watch: Jessica Alba Gets Spanked in the Trailer for "The Killer Inside Me"

Shani Saxon-Parrish — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:15:34 -0500

Jessica Alba's new film The Killer Inside Me, also starring Casey Affleck and Kate Hudson and directed by Michael Winterbottom, is based on a 1952 book of the same name. The story centers around a deputy sheriff (Affleck) in a small Texas town who is secretly a psychotic killer. You may feel like you’ve seen the entire movie after watching this long trailer, but we have to admit that we were left feeling curious about the movie. We just may have to check it out when it hits theatres next year. Take a look and let us know what you think.

Hanging By a Text

Sujeiry Gonzalez — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:54:43 -0500

I finally broke down. At 2 a.m. one morning, I found myself crying in a bar because of Mr. G. He didn't do anything—and that was the problem. Not to mention I felt incredibly alone after the speed dating and singles mixer debacle. So from one minute to the next I went from swaying to a song to sobbing in a bathroom stall. And then I did something I haven’t done since my days as a foolish and impulsive 20-something-year-old: drunk text.
