Throughout December, all of us Sugar girls will be bringing you our year-end coverage featuring the
Best of 2008. For the next two weeks, we'll be asking you all about your favourite things, and here on PopSugarUK I'm kicking off by asking for your opinions on those British stars who've made it big in America over the last year. Several celebs in the fields of music, comedy, acting and fashion have recently followed in the footsteps of other successful Brits Abroad like the Beckhams, Gordon Ramsay, Simon Cowell and Ricky Gervais.
Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller stayed close at the British Independent Film Awards at London's Old Billingsgate Market yesterday. Having been
spotted with Balthazar Getty in London last week, Sienna looked happy to enjoy a girls' night with her The Edge of Love costar. Reports suggest she's agreed to give Balthazar a second chance
if he woos her the old-fashioned way with romantic dinner dates and flowers.
On this week's
Pushing Daisies, Dwight Dixon is getting dangerously close to the truth about Chuck, tempting Vivian into giving up more details than she should about her niece's tragic death. Meanwhile, the gang investigates a murder that involves do-gooders doing more wrong than good. (Is that a lesson for Ned?) To chat about it, just .
A few weeks back, it was
the circus that got a melancholy treatment on
Pushing Daisies, and this week, it's magic. No cute bunny rabbits and white handkerchiefs here — just a whopping dose of death, daddy issues, and the dastardly Dwight Dixon. Ready to chat about it?
Quick — everyone go make friends with a Nielsen family.
Pushing Daisies returns tonight after a long absence (the last new episode aired
before Halloween!), and the ratings for this episode will be very important.
How important?
It's probably not surprising for one with his particular gift/predicament, but Ned the piemaker has never been much of a gambler. On this week's episode of
Pushing Daisies, Ned reveals a little more of the background that's kept him away from most games of chance. Emerson, on the other hand, takes some chances of his own with love on the brain, and the murder made me suddenly, insatiably hungry for pork buns.
Ah, friendship. As all of the
Pushing Daisies characters learn one way or another, it's a necessary component to a full life. Then again, when you get trapped in a locker or gifted a creepy taxidermied dog, friends don't look so good, do they?
Pushing Daisies started this season by piling secrets on top of secrets, and this week, many of them come tumbling out. A suspicious death at the nunnery forces Ned, Olive, and Chuck together again, which means Olive's faced with everything she'd "taken the veil" to avoid. The episode involves Night Ranger references, glitter paint family trees, and gourmet truffles, so to talk about it, just .
Pushing Daisies usually manages to make morbid things seem sweet, so it's interesting to see the show take happy things and make them sad. This week, Ned and Emerson investigate a crime at the world's biggest bummer of a circus and Ned faces the idea that Chuck's independent new beginning means the end of something wonderful. To talk about it, just .
Oh, joy!
Pushing Daisies is back! And it seems to have returned perfectly in form, too, with a premiere that finds Chuck putting her love of bees to use, Olive letting secrets get the best of her, and the introduction of a pig named Pigby.
