Song of the Day: "Let It Rock" by Kevin Rudolf and Lil Wayne

BuzzSugar — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 15:30:37 PDT

I try to keep an eye on the iTunes store top songs list and I've noticed that a duet by Kevin Rudolf and Lil Wayne called "Let it Rock" has been hovering around the top 12. For those of you who aren't familiar, Rudolf is a producer/guitar player-turned-singer (for this single) who's credited on an array of pop songs, like Nelly Furtado's "Say It Right."

"Let It Rock" is super catchy and (almost) makes me feel like I should go for a run. It's exactly the kind of song that could have been the "can't get it out of my head" song of Summer 2008. I can also totally envision a Gossip Girl episode ending to this tune, with Blair leaving a club in slow-motion to the lyrics "Well, you'll get what's yours/ I got mine."

Rudolf's first full-length album, In the City, will hit stores Nov. 25. To listen for yourself,

Beauty Byte: Vivienne Westwood Rocks Fragrance

BellaSugar — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 11:22:19 PDT

With her London punk legacy, Vivienne Westwood is no stranger to awesomeness. So it's fitting that the fashion designer's new fragrance is called Let It Rock. According to Cosmetics International (via Now Smell This), the scent, which debuted yesterday in London, is named for the boutique Westwood opened in 1971. The fragrance blend was also inspired by the '70s, using prevalent vintage scents like patchouli and sandalwood. Here's Westwood elaborating on her inspiration, from Cosmetics International:

“It’s the best name for a fragrance right now. People are interested in the idea of glamour. I thought back to the 1970s when I opened the shop. We felt heroic and tough. Young kids were revolting against the older generation, and that’s what rock and roll is all about.”

Manufactured by Coty, Let It Rock also uses top notes of bergamot and freesia and comes in a bottle adorned with the designer's signature orb and red-lipstick logo. It will go on sale in the UK in August then roll out to the rest of Europe later. No word on when it will be available in the States, but I would love to get my hands on this punk-inspired perfume.

Naomi and Liev Focus on Fitness Together

Allie Merriam — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 09:20:40 PST

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber didn't let rain get in the way of their workout yesterday. The couple went for a jog in Sydney and kept on going despite the downpour. Naomi and Liev took their sons, Sasha and Samuel, Down Under for a family vacation with their Watts relatives. The family touched down about two weeks ago and have since fit in fun beach days and a celebration in honor of Australia Day. The getaway has also included some work for Naomi. She and costar Robin Wright started filming The Grandmothers Monday at Seal Rocks, four hours north of Sydney. The movie is under the direction of Anne Fontaine, who was behind 2009's Coco Before Chanel.

Rock Climbing With a Toddler on Your Back: Kid Friendly or Are You Kidding Me?

Rebecca M Gruber — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:21:11 PST

For Menna Pritchard, rock climbing, hiking, and surfing are a way of life -and she isn't going to let a lil thing like a baby get in her way of a great adventure. The single mama is at the center of a storm of controversy since turning to Facebook to post a photo of herself rock-climbing with her daughter Ffion, 2, strapped to her back. In the image, mama Menna is wearing a helmet for protection, but lil Ffion is not. When fellow moms questioned her decision, she told the BBC:

The route I was climbing with Ffion [at Three Cliffs], there was no risk of any rock fall. I knew 100 percent it was safe. The person below me was very competent, I had a mountain climbing instructor there too and I'm pretty confident of my own competence. I was top-roping (which prevents a climber from falling down the cliff surface), which is very safe.

The babywearing advocate spends a significant amount of time blogging on her personal blog, Per Ardua Ad Alta, about her adventures, many of which include having her daughter riding on her back.

What do you think?

The Vampire Diaries "The Ties That Bind": The Good, The Bad, and The Bloody

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 07:56:35 PST

It's a family reunion for Bonnie and her estranged mother on this week's The Vampire Diaries, but their meeting is less than magic (I'm sorry, I had to). They need her to open up one of Klaus's sealed coffins, but like most things on this show, they have to get through a bit of sticky business first. Meanwhile, Tyler recruits someone to help free him of his sire bond to Klaus so he can be with Caroline again, and Elena gets something off of her chest.

Even though there were no hot makeouts this week and not much major happened, it's still another entertaining episode with a lot going on. Ready to discuss? To get to the good, the bad, and the bloody, just keep reading.

HBO Toasts Its Big Winners With Michael Fassbender and More

Allie Merriam — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 06:58:01 PST

The stars and friends of HBO gathered in a ballroom at the Beverly Hilton for a Golden Globes afterparty yesterday! The network had a great deal to celebrate, especially Laura Dern's upset in the best actress in a comedy series category for Enlightened. She took home the statue over perennial favorites like 30 Rock's Tina Fey and Parks and Recreation's Amy Poehler. Laura let loose at the bash with husband Ben Harper, apparently after reconciling despite announcing plans to divorce in 2010. Best supporting actor in a series Peter Dinklage, from Game of Thrones, was also raising a glass!

Best actor nominee Michael Fassbender stopped by HBO's event as well. The Shame star lost out to The Descendants's George Clooney, but Michael still got acknowledged in Clooney's speech - George made a somewhat off-color reference to Michael's full frontal exposure in Shame! Michael didn't seem to mind the shout-out, and he made the rounds with best actor in a comedy nominee, and fellow Irishman, Brendan Gleeson from The Guard. True Blood hottie Joe Manganiello swung by, too, as did newlywed Eva Amurri Martino with Tim Robbins.

Penn Badgley and Zoe Kravitz Stop For a Smooch on the Streets of NYC

Lauren Turner — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 09:50:06 PST

Zoe Kravitz and Penn Badgley got close for a kiss in NYC over the weekend. They stopped for PDA after shopping at a bookstore, where Penn picked up a few titles including Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle and Richard Alpert's LSD.

Penn and Zoe escaped the Big Apple for the warmer weather of Miami over the holidays. They lounged poolside at their hotel and showed affection while swimming. Zoe's bikini body was on display while Penn went shirtless and let his long hair down in the water. He's still rocking the wild 'do, though we'll have to wait and see if he keeps the style for his small screen character when Gossip Girl returns next week.
