Jewelry and Fashion at People’s Choice Awards 2011

In the last post, we mostly talked about the main highlights and the winners at the People’s Choice Awards 2011. But then it was star studded night so how can we ignore red carpet, fashion, jewelry and what the hot celebrities were wearing.

So lets get started

People’s Choice Awards 2011

The night before we saw one of the most awaited award nights and a great beginning to the new year. And that too with 175 million votes. We are talking about People’s Choice Awards 2011 that saw many expected and many unexpected wins.

Selena Gomez is my new favorite since the night, although I know only one song of hers. She beat Justin Bieber in the category of ‘Favorite Breakout Artist’ and that was a surprise.

Another unexpected win of the night was that of Kriten Stewart who beat the biggies such as Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston in the category of ‘Favorite Movie Actress’.

The Twilight Saga – Eclipse got the Favorite Movie

and Johnny Depp – Favorite Movie Actor

Dress it like Rihanna !

The famous Pop singer Rihanna is loved for her style of dressing as much as she is love for her music. Most of the jewelry she wears is usually bold and statement jewelry, but when it comes to earrings she like to stick to the classy hoop earring or diamond studs.

Shania Twain starts the year with her Wedding!

Famous Pop singers and also one of my childhood favorites, Shania Twain walked the altar for the second time this New Year, and this time with her sweetheart, Swiss businessman Frederic Thiebau in Puerto Rico.

Twain might have sung the famous song ‘That don’t impress me much’,but her Engagement ring with 3-carat Emerald cut diamond by by Lorraine Schwartz is most certainly impressive.

Emerald cut is personally one of my favorites, It is basically a rectangular step cut with soft or rounded corners. The cut portrays a unique combination of style and sophistication and only looks good in gemstones of a certain size or more.

R.I.P. Verne Langdon

The above banner was designed by CHFB creator/owner/moderator Kerry Gammill. Mr. Gammill is a genuinely good guy and creates many of these fine visual testaments to our "fallen" and "taken" titans of the silver screen, monster-kid fandom, and the other various genre solar systems.

Please "click" on the title of this post to be taken to an RIP thread devoted to the talented composer, mask-maker, and horror raconteur Verne Langdon.
I've also posted a nice snippet of Langdon's famous CARNIVAL OF SOULS below.

There is also a fine testimonial and "respects" thread to Ms. Anne Francis on CHFB as well.

Fairwell Altaira

R.I.P. ANNE FRANCIS

Famed SF Icon and talented actress ANNE FRANCIS died yesterday at the age of 80.
I can't tell you how "Wowed" I was, when as a young boy I first laid eyes upon the beautiful Ms Francis when I first viewed the epic 1956 film FORBIDDEN PLANET! Yeah, Robby the Robot is cool... but ANNE as Altaira is.... well, breathtaking.

She also got my young hormones "a-going" when she played HONEY WEST (1965-6) on the small tube.

Well, she is now upon an even better and safer "planet" with good old Doc Morbius (her Dad, played by Walter Pidgeon), Commander Adams (Leslie Nielsen) and beau Jerry Farman (actor Jack Kelly).
As IMDb says: "one tall, cool drink of water..." RIP

SUGAR BEAR? Yeah!

How come there's a picture of Sugar Bear on/in a blog that's ostensibly devoted to monsters and stuff?
Well, Sugar Bear did go up against a nemesis (for a brief while) on his cereal commercials by the name of "Blob!" Close enough (c.f. Steve McQueen's first starring role)
I loved Sugar Bear's non-chalant Bing Crosby cool. I loved his cartoons on the short-lived Saturday Morning cartoon show LINUS THE LION-HEARTED. I never ate his cereal. I was more of a Trix guy.
Click on the picture so you can actually read it. It's pretty neat. This cereal box back-cover comes from a recently purchased box of GOLDEN CRISP (namby pamby types had to re-name the stuff after nutritionist nazis got all exercised in the early 70's over it's sugar content.... ever read Calvin & Hobbes, and Calvin's Saturday morning ritual of eating his SUGAR BOMBS?).

Reese Witherspoon – Engaged !

Our all time favorite actress Reese Witherspoon is all set to walk the altar again. Witherspoon got recently engaged to Jim Toth. And her engagement ring is no ordinary one, it is a 4-carat Ashoka Diamond ring with pave set platinum band.

Ashoka diamonds are basically a very unique kind of cut that actually originated in India many centuries ago. The cut was recreated with a few modifications by William Goldberg Diamond Corporation who later in the year 2000 even got the cut patented.

Wishing them all the very best !

Harry Winston Ocean Lady Zalium – Super Hot!!

Here is a watch that in no ways is less than a precious jewelry. This super hot watch is made up of unique metal alloy ‘Zalium’ that Harry Winston like to use this metal as this is super light, corrosion resistant and hypoallergenic.

The white and red combination of the watch is super classy and the diamond border lends the watch an inimitable look.  

Welcome 2011 !

A Very Happy New Year to all my friends, readers, and well wishers!

I have been thinking and trying to plan as to what shape to give to this little blog of mine. The hope is that I will try to keep the blog as regularly updated as possible and throw in a mix of entertainment and informative news.

Any suggestion at all that you may have, I will be very happy to include them.
