[Archive]: Want Lucious Lips à la Angelina?

Angelina lip glossing at The Globes

Of course you do! Well, join the queue, ladies! While full lips like Angie’s may well be the envy of many, and, seemingly down to brilliant genetics, which you just can’t buy these days; aside from pricey (and scary!) filler injections, just how can you emulate Ms. Jolie?

Enter: Chantecaille. Specifically, its Brilliant Gloss in shade Love. For this is what you need to invest in, if you want to go all copycat kitten on La Jolie’s smackers. After being spotted at the Golden Globes on Sunday (January 16) night applying her lip gloss mid-ceremony, the one question on everyones’, eh, lips, was, surely, “What magical lip boosting potion lies therein?” And, her make-up artist, Toni G., has come up trumps, telling us that this  — Chantecaille’s Brilliant Gloss in Love — is Angie’s go-to shade for days spent on movie sets and nights swishing down red carpets. According to Toni, the gloss “maintains lip moisture and is fresh and sexy.”

Sounds good to us!

The shade retails for $28, but is currently sold out on Chantecaille’s website, no doubt in part due to Jolie-lip-emulating-fever, however is sure to be restocked soon to service the inevitable surge of demand brought by Angelina’s Golden Globe glossing. However, you can find similar Chantecaille products here.

Update (November 17, 2012): Chantecaille’s Brilliant Gloss in Love is now available on Chantecaille’s website, however, it has increased in price from $28 to $33, which corresponds to a hefty18% price hike. Seems like The Jolie’s lips are worth big (lip) glossing bucks.

[Archive]: Johnny Depp to Play Edward Scissorhands again… But Not in the Way you Would Expect!

Are you jonesing for a Johnny Depp fix, yet struggling to balance your craving for funny, adult-appropriate cartoon shows with the grá for an altogether broody Mr. Depp? Well, have I got just the treat for you!

For Johnny is set to reprise his first real gothic role, Edward Scissorhands, (FYI: This was his debut collaboration with Tim Burton, in 1990 — can you even imagine a time when Depp and Burton were not practically synonymous with each other?!) yet not with the quirky director-come-writer-come-producer-come-artist, nor on the silver screen.

Nope, our Johnny is set to play the gentle man, juxtaposed with his set of sharp, scary, steel-y scissor hands, on the small screen, in cartoon form. On US cartoon Family Guy.

The actor is set to appear in an upcoming episode of the show, with the cameo having already been recorded. Depp is set to feature as Edward in one of the cartoon’s cutaway gags. The thespian, who initially showed a tad of trepidation insofar as getting into character mode, — per Family Guy executive producer Mark Hentemann, he,

“…felt like he hadn’t done that voice since he did it in front of the camera”

(in fairness to Johnny, it was 22 years ago!), but that after a minute,

“He was able to snap right back into Edward Scissorhands once we pulled up a clip from the movie.”

And the answer to the question that you’ve all been wondering about ever since hearing thatJohnny is set to hit a small screen near you –- does he watch Family Guy? Yep, according to Entertainment Weekly Mr. D is fan of the show, and watches episodes with his children.

I, for one, cannot wait for my next Depp installment, totes jonesing!

Will you be tuning in to see hear Johnny on Family Guy? Are you a fan of grown up cartoons? Do you love Johnny more than, say chips? Tell me all @aprilbarry101
