Even if Golden Globes double-nominee favorite Sandra Bullock doesn’t take home the coveted statue on Sunday for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy for “The Proposal” or for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her work in the inspirational true story “The Blind Side,” the filming experience has at least helped the Hollywood starlet broaden her friendship circle. “ I met this extraordinary family the Touhys (who the film was based on), who I wish I would have remembered to thank since they already did the extraordinary deed and Michael Oher did the most extraordinary thing in opening his heart and allowing himself to be enveloped by this family, ” Bullock excitedly told us backstage at the Critics Choice Awards on Friday after co-winning with (and mouth kissing) Meryl Streep. “ They changed my life and I am so happy to call them friends.And they’re Republicans, and I’m okay with that and they’re okay with me being a Democrat! ” And while

Models parading along a catwalk 3.6 kilometers long to the admiration of 350,000 spectators: Such is the nature of the Jember Fashion Carnival, Indonesia’s answer to Rio de Janeiro. Once again the Jember Fashion Carnival (JFC) has brought the East Java city alive, with hundreds of clothes designers, both professional and amateur, presenting their alternative and creative designs, made from a range of materials.

Also there was Dynand Fariz, the JFC president. “Please pay attention to the time,” the president shouted. “It’s almost 11 a.m. and the Marching Band must

But Naoto (Nick) Mizuki, general manager of marketing, says the company is considering a line of similar bags, at somewhat lower prices. It was only a mat

The style of a designer handbag is one of the main reasons why this particular fashion accessory is fun to shop for. There are so many different styles of handbags to choose from that is why it's so hard to choose just one handbag. Every outfit calls for different style of handbag so this gives women more reasons to buy a minimum of three handbag styles to match whatever their outfit is. To help you out which types of handbag to buy, this article covers the Top 3 Handbag Styles that never come out on the latest fashion trend. 1.
