Happy Hour: Midnight Cowboy

YumSugar — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 12:58:37 PST

Today's happy hour recipe is named after 1969's Best Picture Winner, Midnight Cowboy. The film is rather dark, somewhat sentimental and sexy (it was actually rated X when it was released - back then X meant no one under 17). Much like the film, this drink is dark and yet beautiful. It consists of bourbon, rum and heavy cream, although I think a more authentic Midnight Cowboy drink would contain coconut milk instead. After all coconut milk is one of the "two basic items necessary to sustain life."

Midnight Cowboy

Announcing the 2012 SAG Awards Nominees

Molly Goodson — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 06:05:23 PST

The 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations are out this morning, and we're bringing you all the action - watch our streaming video of the SAG Awards announcement, which we're replaying all morning long. Judy Greer and Regina King were up bright and early in LA to do the honors, a few of which went to Judy's movie The Descendants. Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Leonardo DiCaprio are once again up against each other in the lead actor category, which should make for a fun race, though we were disappointed to see Ryan Gosling's name left off the list. Bridesmaids continues to rake in the early award-season love as well, with the cast and Melissa McCarthy both scoring nods. The Screen Actors Guild Awards air live on Jan. 29 at 8/7c on TNT.

In the TV category, we're excited to see the love for Game of Thrones, which is up against perennial favorites including Dexter and Breaking Bad. Steve Carell also has at least one more chance to win for The Office, and with tomorrow's Golden Globes nominations announcement, we'll see if he's recognized again.

Who are you excited to see on - or disappointed to see left off - the nominations roster? To see the full list of SAG nods just

Deborah Lippmann Loves Footloose, Made a New Polish Collection For the Movie

Miriam Lacey — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 14:03:22 PDT

The upcoming Footloose remake might not be typical inspiration for luxury nail polish goddess Deborah Lippmann, but she's debuting a hot new set of hues ($32 for two) that pay homage to both the original film and the new version. "I am a huge fan of the original Footloose, so, admittedly, I was nervous about the idea of a remake of such an iconic film," Lippmann told us. "I just saw the prescreening of the movie and loved the new version."

The four shades all allude to classic moments from the film, and you might already recognize some of the colors. "Almost Paradise is a playful pistachio inspired by the Volkswagen Beetle from the original and the new movie," Lippmann says. "Footloose, a rebellious red, was (of course) inspired by Arielle's iconic red cowboy boots. Let's Hear It For the Boy, the baby blue shade in the collection, was inspired by acid-wash jeans. Gotta love the Levi's, and the way this song is presented in the remake is fantastic! And Dancing in the Sheets, a deep midnight purple shimmer, was inspired by the final hurrah when the ban was lifted and everyone danced all night long with confetti everywhere! I found this so uplifting and inspiring." Sounds like she nailed the movie.

90210 "Up in Smoke": Most Scandalous Moments

Rose Curiel — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 07:38:04 PDT

Summer is wrapping up on 90210, which means we finally get to see some resolutions to last season's cliffhangers. Naomi's pregnancy is quickly brushed under the rug within the first minutes of the premiere, while her friends make decisions about attending college (or more importantly, nailing down sweet college housing).

Liam resurfaces from his boating adventure prepared to ramp things up with Annie, while Silver and Navid have decided to move in together - but there's a catch. As for the rest of the relationships, Ivy and Raj are still going strong, while Adrianna snuggles up to a smug new cowboy who has found his way out to the West Coast. If you're ready to break down season four's most scandalous moments, just keep reading.
