It’s that “most wonderful time of the year” time of year and… you’re procrastinating sorting out your holiday gifts, aren’t you? And who doesn’t have those one or two people who are really, really difficult to shop for?! I know I do.
So that is why I am sooooooo thrilled to be an American Express ambassador for their #PointsForPresents Holiday program this year! Over the last few weeks I have been digging through their extensive catalog of goodies and I’ve compiled a few of my faves to help you — my fabulous and in-the-know readers — pick out some seriously stellar gifts (all shoppable using American Express Membership Rewards) that seriously everyone will love!
American Express helps ease the pain of shopping by allowing their Cardmembers to earn and use Membership Rewards points. Surely you already know you can earn points for almost every purchase you make (and with no expiration date)… But — did you know you can use your points on a wide variety of gift cards, retail purchases, travel and entertainment events? Aha!

FNO Fashionistas got the chance to get their hair and make-up touched up by celebrity stylists and share their best or worst fashion malfunction story with us for a chance to win a $2,500 shopping spree with Cynthia Rowley herself, among many other prizes!
Cynthia made an appearancy by way of a Vespa (how much cooler could she possibly be?) and gushed to MJ how excited she was to have her name splashed across America’s favorite “malfunction” adhesive!
“It’s amazing. It really is a a dream come true!” Cynthia Rowley told MJ.
Cynthia Rowley x BAND-AIDs will be available for purchase nationwide starting this October, but FNO-goers that stopped by the Glambulance got to go home with a box before they hit the shelves!
The entire experience was so much fun for everyone involved. In case you missed it, you can watch our exclusive coverage below while eating a peanut butter and “jealous” sandwich! (Wink)
Happy Fashion Week, y’all!

Wyclef Jean poses for a “HOT SHOT!” with the creator of Zumba Fitness, Beto Perez, on stage at the Zumba Fitness 10th Anniversary celebration in Orlando, FL last weekend. The Haitian-born singer, along with Miami native Pitbull, both performed for 6,000 Zumba Instructors from all over the world.
Beto choreographed a synchronized dance performance to the quick tempo rhythms of Pitbull’s “Pause” and six thousand Zumbathon-ers follwed along to the beat of “Go! Stop! Drop! Pause!”
There’s just no words for how cool this is to watch!!! (Well, you can catch the video…after the jump!)
“With music there is no boundaries and this choreography is somehow able to capture that,” Wyclef, told Bader TV. Check out HOT SHOTS from the entertainment-filled weekend right here on MJ:

We know SXSW was a while ago — but we’re still rolling out some great MJ interviews like the two below. In the first clip, Micah Jesse sits down with actress Beth Broderick and director Janet Grillo to talk about their movie “Fly Away.”

The next clip is an interview MJ did with the director of “Beginners,” Mike Mills. The flick, which stars Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer, is about a young man who is rocked by two announcements from his elderly father: that he has terminal cancer, and that he has a young male lover.
