Blake Lively: Back to Work in Boston

Getting back to work on her new movie project, Blake Lively was spotted on the set of “The Town” in Boston, Massachusetts on Friday afternoon (November 6).

Aside from chatting on her cell phone in between takes, the “Gossip Girl” actress looked to have thoroughly enjoyed a friendly visit from her adorable little co-workers during the course of the day’s duties.

In related news, Miss Lively recently revealed to Marie Claire that her mom enrolled her in the first grade at the young age of 3-years-old.

“When I was only 3 years old, my mom enrolled me in the first grade. My older brother was supposed to start school, but he didn’t want to go alone, so my mom told them I was 6 since I was so tall. But after a few weeks, they said they would have to put me in mentally disabled classes because I wasn’t up to pace with the rest of the kids,” she explains.

Miss Lively continues, “They thought that I was slow because all I wanted to do was sleep while the other kids were doing their projects. So my mom took me out of school. I kind of feel like I grew up at Disneyland,” Blake explained. “My mom would take me there twice a week. I did well in school, so I guess my mom just wanted to have some extra time to bond with me. Sometimes, when I was older, she’d keep me out till one in the morning. We only stayed out late on weekends. We’d get a hotel room and then go to Denny’s, drink coffee, and talk for hours.”

Nonetheless, everything turned out for the best, as Blake tells, “I’ve always been a night owl. Even at home, we’d stay up all night talking. My mom tells the most amazing stories. In a way, she was kind of raising me to be a great actress without even realizing it.”

Daughter Inspires Olivia Harris, Joy Gryson’s Budget Youth Handbag Collection

Joy Gryson has two new babies: her six-year-old daughter Olivia Harris and the budget handbag line which shares her firstborn’s name.

Little Olivia seems like the perfect namesake for the brand given her own keen fashion sense.

“She’s really, really funny. Whenever we see someone walking in the street with one of the bags, she gets too excited,” explained the New York designer. “She loves the little charm and the tag.”

Showing you’re never too young to carry a designer purse, Olivia enjoys carrying a one-of-a-kind creation made lovingly by her mother. Her pink leopard cross-body hobo covered in hammered rivets doesn’t sound like the most tasteful creation around, but that just makes it perfect for a mini fashionista. While Olivia would love to take it to her first-grade class, her mother insists it’s for weekend use only.

While fashion fans can’t get Olivia’s beloved bag, others like it are available in the Olivia Harris collection.

“We’re all about downtown,” explained Joy Gryson. “If the Gryson girl is TriBeCa, the Olivia Harris girl is her younger, cooler, rock ’n’ roll baby sister from Brooklyn or the LES.”

The Olivia Harris handbags start from $155, and range up to $495. You can find them at Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Randy and Evi Quaid Post Bond

It has been a strange situation as of late with Randy Quaid and his wife Evi.  And after missing a total of four court dates, they’ve finally posted bond.

The “National Lampoons Christmas Vacation” funnyman and his bride were charged with skipping out on a $10,000 luxury hotel bill as well as burglary, defrauding an innkeeper, and conspiracy.

And now their court date has been set for December 15th, their 5th proposed date so far.  District Attorney Lee Carter stated, “They have posted bond.  If they don’t show up to court a bounty hunter will go and get them.

Randy and Evi each had to come up with $20,000 to stay out of jail until their court appearance.  They have declined to comment.

How to Fix Over-Plucked Eyebrows

Sometimes I get a little tweezer happy. I might be one of the only women who really enjoys a good eyebrow plucking. I love it! But, too much of a good thing can be bad. I’ve been known to pluck my eyebrows down to a sad and skinny little line. But no worries, make-up expert Bobbi Brown has advice for plucky gals like myself…

According to makeup experts, including Bobbi Brown in her book, “Beauty,” almost every woman needs to fill in her brows as part of her normal beauty routine. Bobbi’s claims are backed up by the editors of Allure’s “Confessions of a Beauty Editor,” who state that makeup artist Dick Page once informed them he’d never seen a model who didn’t need her brows filled in.

If, like most women, you were born with sparse brows or simply went too far with the tweezers, there is a fix to filling in your eyebrows. All it takes is a pencil, powder and an angled brush or a clean mascara brush.

Tip 1: Pick a Pencil and Powder Shade

Pencils and powders tend to stick to skin, not to hair, so if you don’t have a lot of hair you’ll want to shade in the skin where hair should grow.

Select a soft pencil (hard pencils tend to be too waxy) which is a shade lighter than your brows and a powder which matches the color of brows. If brows are super fair, choose a pencil that’s a shade darker than brows. (read more)
