The Rachel Zoe Project - Season 4, on Arena

Go bah-nanas!

The Rachel Zoe Project returns tonight, Wednesday, September 14 at 8.30pm on Arena.

With her first baby on the way, a new team (yes, scene-stealer Brad has left - drats), a clothing line and her ah-mazing celebrity clients, Ms Zoe is uber-busy. Not the way you and I are with our comparably mundane lives, but you know, we don't dress Cameron Diaz for a living.

Throw in the mix Rachel's 'long-suffering husband' Rodger (still keeping an eye on her extravagant, "I Die", gotta-have-it purchases) and you have a new series perfect for fashion lovers.

Think it's all a little cuckoo? Don't worry, you're not alone. You'll probably get a good laugh in this Rachel Zoe parody:

Rove LA - premieres on Fox8, September 19 at 8.30pm

On September 19 at 8.30pm - and exclusive to FOX8 - the Australian premiere of Rove LA finally hits screens after weeks of clever teaser ad campaigns.

Watch this fun clip:



And this one:




Multiple TV Week Gold Logie winner, Rove McManus, is returning to Australian television – and this time he’s gone all Hollywood-style. I must say, it suits him.

Rove LA will see Rove go back to where he seems most comfy – in comedy driven talk show in front of a live audience, chatting to celebrities. Incorporating the hottest guests as well as Rove’s take on the LA way of life, this exclusive one hour series seems the perfect vehicle to welcome Rove McManus back to the telly.

Shot at CBS Television City in Los Angeles, Rove LA will provide viewers with a weekly slice of Hollywood. Produced by Rove's company Roving Enterprises, Rove LA is executive produced by Craig Campbell, Rove's long-time creative partner and the driving force behind the 7PM Project.

Rove has a-US based production team, led by Todd Yasui, one-time Tonight Show booker and former head of Late Night at Fox Network in the US.

Rove said: “The time for lounging by the pool has gone on long enough. I feel recharged and excited about starting a new show in a new home but then again, it’s hard not to be when you’re one floor up from Drew Carey’s Price Is Right. So far it’s been a lot of fun putting the new show together and more than anything I’m looking forward to being back on Aussie screens on FOX8.”

Group Channel Manager, FOX8 Duane Hatherly said: “Rove is an icon of the industry and we are honoured that his comeback to Australian television is on FOX8. There is no doubt his humour and presence has been missed and this new series is a sensational addition to our already impressive Australian production slate. We can’t wait for the premiere on September 19!”

Either can I!

ROVE LA, Mondays at 8.30pm AEST, exclusive to FOX8 from September 19.

Who magazine: The Biggest Loser update

Spring has sprung, and so have the inspiring weight loss cover stories - bring it!



In this week’s Who magazine six Biggest Loser stars reveal the highs and lows of life back in the real world, several months on from their weight loss triumph on the reality show.



Winner Emma Duncan reveals she has put on 12.5kg since the Biggest Loser finale and feels an element of judgement by the public.



"I had more confidence when I was 130kg," she tells Who.



Contestant Lara Whalan tells Who magazine about her split from boyfriend and fellow Biggest Loser Leigh Westren after "an incident which broke my trust in him".



Also in this week's edition the face of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, one Ms Dannii Minogue, talks about her life as a burgeoning fashion designer, as well as her family life with her one year old son Ethan, her October 40th birthday, and her partner, Kris Smith.



The latest issue of Who magazine is onsale from Friday September 2.

Jennifer Aniston: Marie Claire Australia, October 2011

The October 2011 edition of Australian Marie Claire is out now and features the delectable Jennifer Aniston.



Apart from a fab interview and photo shoot with the global star - who stars in the very funny Horrible Bosses as a nasty-boss-slash-evil-minx - there are plenty of highlights to be had.



The story entitled 'Secrets of a Sex School Graduate' is about Australian sexologist Nikki Goldstein's experience at the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco (oh yes, it exists).



She says: "I've learned how to put on a condom with my mouth, and I know all there is to know about lubricants."



On an entirely different note, the new season accessories round-up is a visual delight - we're talking pages (and pages!) of accessories of every kind. Inspiring!



And last (but not least - there are plenty more glorious fashion pages in this issue) the feature story on the Foxtel reality TV show Mob Wives is quite the read.



The October issue of Marie Claire is out now.

Breaking news! Sarah Jessica Parker heading to Australia

In news just in, Sarah Jessica Parker will be heading to Australia for the first time in November to promote her upcoming film I Don't Know How She Does It.



The renowned star will be coming to Melbourne and her visit will include a press conference, a media junket and red carpet premiere event for the release of the film, as well as attendance at Crown Oaks Day.



Indeed, she confirmed on TV's Hamish and Andy's Gap Year that she will be in Australia (Sydney, you miss out... drats!) from October 29 to November 2.



National Publicity Manager Inge Burke said, “We are thrilled Sarah Jessica Parker can visit our country and we are excited to show off Melbourne during Spring, such a beautiful time of the year. Her new film I Don't Know How She Does It will resonate with so many women as more and more these days balance their family life with their working life”.



The film also stars Greg Kinnear (Little Miss Sunshine), Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) and Pierce Brosnan (Die Another Day).



The film revolves around Kate Reddy (Parker) who devotes her days to her job with a Boston-based financial management firm. In the evenings, she goes home to her loving architect husband Richard (Kinnear) and their two young children.



Juggling her two lives is of course exhausting, and it's the same story for Kate's best friend and fellow working mum Allison (Christina Hendricks), while the polar opposite is Kate's child-phobic, young junior associate Momo (Olivia Munn), who is intent on avoiding Kate's kind of life at all costs.



And then, Kate is given a big new account requiring trips to New York - and Richard wins a new job he's been hoping for.



As both spread themselves thin, to add further stress, Kate's spunky new business associate Jack Abelhammer (Brosnan) proves an unexpected source of temptation for her.



I Don't Know How She Does It releases in cinemas nationally on November 3, 2011. See www.howshedoesitmovie.com for more on the movie.

Angelina Jolie - Vanity Fair, September 2011

In stunning photography by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott (nobody does a close-up face shot like Angie), Angelina Jolie appears on the cover of the September Vanity Fair US issue.



The tabloids can all be quiet about marriage rumours (at least for this week!) - despite the constant 'insider' claims from magazines, Angelina Jolie assures Vanity Fair there is no wedding planned for her and partner Brad Pitt.



“I’m not pregnant. I’m not adopting at the moment,” she adds.



Which kinda leaves it open-ended, doesn't it... okay, weekly mags: feel free to carry on and speculate. As you were.

The October issue of Vanity Fair will be on newsstands (in New York and LA) on September 1, and on the iPad on September 6.

Sponsored by Nuffnang: The Help - film review, plus ticket and book giveaway

Sponsored by Nuffnang

Sensational bestseller, 'The Help', has quite the following - thanks in part to one Ms Oprah Winfrey. Already a fave amongst avid readers, the Big O elevated the book to must-read status the moment she recommended it to her squillions of global viewers in her famed 'book club.'

While the film is not based on a true story, it is most certainly inspired by events of the time. Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, Skeeter (played by Emma Stone, with Oscar talk already buzzing) is a young woman who returns from college determined to be a "writer, or novelist, or both". She does get her wish, but turns her friends' lives upside down - and most of the community - in the process.

Skeeter makes a decision to interview the African American women whose job it is to look after the well-off Southern families - she herself grew up being cared for by 'the help'. Enter Aibileen (played by the sensational Viola Davis), who is Skeeter's friend's housekeeper. She is the first to open up about what happens behind the closed doors of well-to-do families, many of which treat their hired help like, well, crap. And 'crap' ends up becoming quite the motif in the movie... as does food for that matter.

Watching Southern fried chicken being cooked and chocolate pies being whipped up (with a secret ingredient or two) made me crave good-but-bad American food.

Risking her own friendships, Skeeter continues to meet with Aibileen and starts to keep a record of the incredible stories she tells, and soon more women come forward to tell their own stories.

Not surprisingly, unlikely friendships defying the classist and racial norms of the time are forged and new boundaries of what's acceptable behaviour towards hired help are established. The way the relationship between Skeeter and her mother (played by the inimitable Allison Janney) evolves is also heartwarming. Many poignant moments are played out, and for me, the ones that evoked tears were about pregnancy, babies, children, life, and loss.

And the line of the movie, uttered by Aibileen, to her young charge ("You is kind, you is smart, you is important") is one many will repeat to their own children.

Josie's Juice has three double passes to give away to see the movie, as well as three copies of the novel 'The Help'. All you need to do to be in the running to win a double pass and a copy of the book is tell us about a moment you stood up for something you believed in. Write your answer in the comments section just below.

Competition closes Friday September 9, 2011.

The Help is in cinemas now.

Eat Yourself Sexy Australia, hosted by Sarah Wilson - starts tonight

You know, sometimes, the mere title of a TV show draws me in.



This is one of them.



Eat Yourself Sexy Australia is the newest show on LifeStyle YOU.



Hosted by one of my fave TV personalities around, Sarah Wilson, the premise had me totally hooked.



The show is inspiring and uplifting, and encourages women to take control of their lives and get back on the road to loving themselves.



Now what is not to love about that?



Produced by Southern Star Entertainment exclusively for XYZnetworks’ LifeStyle YOU, Eat Yourself Sexy will screen over eight weeks from Thursday August 25 at 8.30pm (that's tonight!) and the timing is of course, impeccable.



Carrying some extra winter kgs? This is your chance to be inspired, to kick off healthy eating habits, to shift those pounds that may have crept up on you over the past few months (ahem... that'd be me).



“LifeStyle YOU prides itself on knowing Australian women. Our viewers contact us all the time with requests for makeovers, diet and exercise plans and relationship advice. Our vision for Eat Yourself Sexy was to make it real - real women, real makeovers and normal weight loss for women to feel good about their bodies,” said Nicole Sheffield, General Manager, LifeStyle Channels. “The series crosses genres with diet and fitness advice along with makeover tips and is about the realistic makeover to get Australian women feeling sexy again.”



Eat Yourself Sexy follows the stories of eight women, one per episode, as they transform their bodies and find the power to fire up their relationships with the help of a team of experts (ohhh, now I get why she says in the ad - below - "bring me my husband".)



Watch the series preview:







From the salad dodging housewife whose libido has gone missing (no urban myth), to the frantic mum of three who never has time for herself, this series will help Australian women lose weight, regain health and reclaim their mojo once and for all.



Hosting the Australian series and guiding these women along their journey is LifeStyle YOU presenter Sarah Wilson. Along with expert nutritionist Emma Sutherland and trainer Blake Worrall-Thompson, they are on a quest to transform these women in just eight short weeks. No surgery involved.



The women are confronted with the shocking damage they are doing to their bodies by overeating and barely exercising, and are given a tailor made diet and exercise plan to follow. The women, ranging in weight from 78 to 110 kilograms, battle to beat their food addictions and unhealthy habits, and there are plenty of triumphs to report at the end.



"The premise of Eat Yourself Sexy is so refreshing. The series is about changing your eating patterns to not just lose weight, but feel better about yourself and regain confidence, energy and sexual spark. I think Australians will learn a lot from this show... it goes into the kitchens and bedrooms of everyday women and holds a mirror up to our habits,” said Sarah Wilson.



Full of practical advice on diet and exercise, get set for a healthy dose of tough love. It would not surprise me if I, I mean, er, lots of women reignite their love affair with power walks and treadmills and eating right.



On your marks, get set...



EAT YOURSELF SEXY screens Thursdays at 8.30pm from August 25 on LifeStyle YOU, available on FOXTEL and AUSTAR.

Kim Kardashian Who Magazine Wedding Photos

On newsstands tomorrow, Australia's Who magazine (sister publication to US People magazine) presents a special issue featuring the celebrity wedding of the year, between Kim Kardashian and pro basketballer Kris Humphries. And we get to ogle - and pick apart - all the pics.



With three couture Vera Wang gowns, 50,000 flowers and $15 million worth of diamonds, the reality star married her "perfect" guy in a dream wedding that was unabashedly grand. And perfectly made-for-TV.



"I was speechless," says Kim of the day she painstakingly planned for three months (sister Khloe has openly said Kim has planning this day from the moment she was born). "It was like we were in heaven."



The photos (with a cover that, I think rivals the US People mag cover; see here: http://josiesjuice.blogspot.com/2011/08/kim-kardashian-people-magazine-wedding.html) feature all three Vera Wang dresses, from the full-skirted tulle confection to the show-stopping old Hollywood-inspired gowns.



For traditional girls planning their wedding, it's all about the details, and the mag features all the jewels, including the Lorraine Schwartz $15 million dazzling diamond pieces for the bride's day, including an Audrey Hepburn-inspired headpiece, a bracelet with the couple's K and K initials entwined (the groom's gift to his bride) and blinged-up wedding bands.



The reception featured a two-metre tall $10,000 cake and a celebrity chef-created menu, 400-plus guests (including Eva Longoria, Lindsay Lohan, Avril Lavigne).



Plus, photos of the after party for those who really, really want to witness the whole shebang.



Who magazine is onsale tomorrow until Thursday next week.

Kim Kardashian People Magazine Wedding Cover

What?



You're over the Kardashian PR machine?



They've only just begun.



Deemed the US's answer to the recent British Royal Wedding, the Kardashian/Humphries nuptials was certainly the most lavish, OTT celebrity wedding of the year.



"It was like we were in heaven," Kardashian tells this week's People magazine in the highly anticipated cover story exclusive - with all the wedding photo pics - for the US mag (expect Australia's Who magazine to release their Kim/Kris cover tomorrow).



Adds Humphries: "I'm going to remember how perfect it was."



Interestingly, it is only Kim who appears on the cover of People mag (the mag paid a reported US $1.5 million for the happy snaps). Surely, the wedding is not all about her, is it? Is it?



Their wedding planner Sharon Sacks says the couple mixed tradition with over-the-top glamour at their August 20 ceremony, held at a private estate in Montecito, California.



"Kim loves black and white and so does Kris," says Sacks. "They have this Hollywood royalty feeling and the black and white represented formality. But tradition was very important to them."



Wearing a custom-designed Vera Wang gown, Kardashian says she "felt like a princess."



But, she adds, "Glam aside, that wasn’t our main goal. It was really about our family and each other.”



And milking this cash cow for all its worth, baby.

Kardashian Wedding: all the teeny, tiny details

For some, there are more pressing issues in the world.



Sure, agreed.



For others, the details are crucial.



And so, in the interest in serving the latter group, here are alll the teeny, tiny deets on what went down at the Kardashian/Humphries wedding.



Here goes:



Date: Saturday, 20th August 2011



Time: Scheduled for 6pm but the ceremony kicked off at 6.37pm (told you we had all the tiny details)



Location: Montecito, California – the estate of Google Executive Eric Schmidt



Kim’s dresses: all Vera Wang

For the ceremony – a custom-made strapless gown with full tulle skirt

For the reception - an ivory mermaid gown with hand-pieced chantilly lace appliqué on the bodice and a skirt with hand-cut organza petals intermixed with chantilly lace motifs and organza sprig embroidery;

For the after party – a crepe-back, V-neck satin gown with a circle skirt



Kim’s hair: an up-do with a diamond garland (set to be copied the world over)



Kris’s tuxedos: Ermenegildo Zegna tuxedo with a white lapel jacket and tie and black trousers; Kris swapped his white jacket and bowtie for black at the reception



Rings: Lorraine Schwartz wedding bands



Matron and Maids of Honour: Khloe Kardashian-Odom and Kourtney Kardashian



Bridesmaids: Kendall and Kylie Kardashian



Bridesmaids dresses: ivory Vera Wang (same for the mother of the bride Kris Jenner)



Groomsmen: Ermenegildo Zegna tuxedos (same for Bruce Jenner and Kris’s dad, William Humphries)



Ring bearer: Mason Disick (Scott and Kourtney's son)



Theme: black and white – all the guests were told to go still the colour scheme



Catering: Wolfgang Puck



Menu:

Starter – buffalo mozzarella and heirloom tomato salad with basil and "tomato chips"

Main – choice of hand-formed agnolotti with sweet corn mascarpone and summer truffles, or roast chicken with Yukon Gold potato puree, caramelised brussel sprouts and summer truffles

Cake – multi-tiered chocolate-and-vanilla swirl cake studded with chocolate chips



Music:

First dance – Robin Thicke sang his song “Angels”, then transitioned into “Let’s Stay Together”

Later, Earth, Wind & Fire played "September", and later still, a DJ spun tunes



Guests: stepbrother Brody Jenner and girlfriend Avril Lavigne, Lindsay Lohan with mother Dina and sister Ali, Eva Longoria and her BF (Penelope Cruz's brother Edoardo), Ryan Seacrest (also the Keeping Up With The Kardashians producer) and his GF Julianne Hough, Ken Baker, Demi Lovato, Kathy Lee Gifford, Mel B, Sugar Ray Leonard, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Alan Thicke, Mario Lopez, Ciara, Joe Francis, George Lopez, Serena Williams, and entertainment reporters Lara Spencer and Maria Menounos.



Members of the New Jersey Nets (Humphries's team) were also given the all-clear to gather for the wedding, despite a rule that prevents teammates from being in contact during the NBA lockout. Jordan Farmar, Humphries's Nets cohort is in fact the guy who introduced the bride and groom.



For the broadcast of the wedding you will have to wait a little while: Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event will air Tuesday and Wednesday, October 11 and 12, at 8.30pm, on E!



Okay, now you know all there is to know... so far.

Anne Hathaway: Interview magazine, September 2011

Anne Hathaway features in the September 2011 issue of ultra-cool mag Interview.

She is interviewed by the inimitable Chelsea Handler and they share some banter on being New Jersey girls...



HANDLER: ...let's talk about Jersey. I want to know your thoughts on being from New Jersey, and Jersey Shore, and how you think that show has helped our reputation as Jersey girls.



HATHAWAY: I think that Jersey Shore is awesome. I've gone to Cape May every summer of my life.



HANDLER: I'm talking about the show, Anne.



HATHAWAY: I know—I'm getting there. When I first saw the show, I thought, Wow, they are having a very different experience there than my experience in Cape May. I thought the first season of the show was awesome because it was authentic, but I don't watch it any more because now they know that there's a camera there. The Situation is totally self-aware. He's referring to himself as The Situation non-stop. In the episode I saw, his car got towed, and he was like, "We've got a situation here, and The Situation is the situation."



HANDLER: Did you honestly stop watching though, because you found there were too many similarities between you and Snooki?



HATHAWAY: Absolutely. I like to watch MTV for escapist pleasure, but when I saw Snooki, I saw my twin. I couldn't lose myself in the show anymore because there I was.



HANDLER: I had to actually stop watching the show because I was like, "This girl reminds me too much of Hathaway."



HATHAWAY: I've heard that from many people. That being said, I think JWoww is amazing. I love JWoww. She's intense. See, JWoww to me is proper Jersey because she will scrap for a friend.
