A Funny Thing Happened on Ryan and Scarlett's Way to the Benefit

Molly — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 06:00:00 PST

Mrs. and Mr. Ryan Reynolds hit the red carpet separately at the A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cure Parkinson's benefit for the Michael J. Fox Foundation in NYC last night. While it may not have been the evening where Ryan and Scarlett finally posed together, they both looked fantastic out to support the cause. Ryan did have some photo partners, however, including the man of the night Michael J. Fox and his wife Tracy Pollan. Ryan ran the NYC Marathon last Sunday to benefit the foundation, which is close to his heart due to his father's Parkinson's diagnosis. As two of the big celebrity Obama supporters, Ryan and Scarlett have quite a few things to celebrate this week - now if only we could ever actually see them do it side by side.

Recast Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Win a Prize!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 13:29:06 PDT

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

Fast Times at Ridgemont High was one of the many great suggestions you gave me back when I asked for recast suggestions, and I think it's "high" time we got to recasting this awesome '80s teen movie!

If you could recast the movie with new actors, who would you pick for Stacy and her best friend, the, um, mature-for-her-age Linda? Who else could play the dazed and confused Spicoli? What about Stacy's hapless brother Brad, the nerdy Mark "Rat" Ratner and the shady Mike? Finally, of course, there's the hilariously named Mr. Hand to recast.

Leave your entry in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature Tuesday, October 2, complete with a "new" cast photo.

To see a list of characters to recast and a photo of the BuzzSugar t-shirt,

Characters to recast:
Stacy (Jennifer Jason Leigh)
Linda (Phoebe Cates)
Spicoli (Sean Penn)
Mark/"Rat" (Brian Backer)
Mike (Robert Romanus)
Brad (Judge Reinhold)
Mr. Hand (Ray Walston)

Wet & Safe! Sunblock Sprays For Your Hair

BellaSugar — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 14:20:33 PDT

After spending countless hours and dollars getting colored, highlighted, glossed and coiffed, spending just a few short hours in the sun can leave your hair looking oxidized and dehydrated. Considering that you would never imagine leaving home without sunscreen on your face, why not do the same to protect your lovely locks?

It's time to take action! Here are some tips as well as two sunscreen sprays to ensure that your hair won't get damaged from the sun. Summer days are intended to be carefree, so let's get the pool party started. After all, it may have been the 80s but Phoebe Cates' infamous poolside scene from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" can encourage us all to be wet & safe! Keep in mind that wet hair is weaker than dry hair. The cuticle is opened and hair is up to three times more delicate when wet so be mindful.

Wet your hair with clean water before swimming so that chlorine and salt don't discolor it and dry it out.
Secure hair in a braid or ponytail so it won't tangle and then spray it with an SPF product for protection.
Rinse again with clean water and reapply sun protection once you get out of the water. If at all possible, protect hair even further with a hat.

For a couple of recommended summer hair sunblock sprays,

Fekkai Summer Hair Sun Bandana, $20, is a leave in conditioner as well as a heat activated UV shield for the hair. It is oil free, water resistant and safe for all hair types including color treated hair.

Sun Bandana helps to seal in moisture with its new formulation called Solarshield™. It will also help to keep chlorine and other damaging chemicals from a pool or jacuzzi out of your hair.

Phyto Plage Protective Beach Spray, $20, is an olive oil based UVB sunscreen that offers your hair maximum sun protection. It helps reduce fading as well as increase hydration and shine.

Olive oil also washes out easily so it won't weigh your hair down and leave you with grimy residue. Simply spray on dry or wet hair before and during sun exposure and be sure and reapply after going in the water.
