Oscar Nominations Announced

The Academy Award Nominations, aka The Oscars, were announced in the wee hours this morning. 5:30 am to be exact with a bleary-eyed Mira Sorvino reading the noms from LA.

Hmm, a couple of interesting nominations...

I bet the tension/friction has increased on the set of Desperate Housewives.
Not only did Teri Hatcher aka Skinny Susan not win a Golden Globe or a SAG award but then Felicity Huffman had to go and win both and get an Oscar nom. Serious jealousy.
If that's not enough to scratch her eyes out, then i dont know what is.
I bet teri stops eating and wins the 'i'm the skinniest' competition on set!

Also noteworthy, George Clooney and his three nominations! Hot and talented, you go old man!
You've come a long way from The Facts of Life.

And Matt Dillon? Is this a serious nomination? I just can't get over the fact that he's incredibly goofy and he acted like an a** (or rather like himself) in "There's Something About Mary."

Felicty Huffman won for best actress in a TV comedy for "Desperate Housewives"

More Fashion from the SAG Awards




Reese Witherspoon just won the Female Lead Actress SAG.
I have to say, I'm not happy with her dress choice. She usually looks so chic but she did mess up with her Golden Globe dress (which wasn't flattering) and was already worn by Kirsten Dunst.

Her dress looks kind of like Chanel but it also looks like a patchwork, grandma-kind of dress. Thumbs down. Fashion police anyone?






The pastel princesses of "Desperate Housewives" sans diva, Teri Hatcher.











Eva Longoria and her boyfriend, Tony Parker. I'm not digging her hair or her dress. Robert Verdi, her stylist, made a faux pas this time.








Here's the dress in full length. Again, nothing special. I think it actually takes away from her looks.








The radiant Rachel Weisz who is five months pregnant. She actually invited Ryan Seacrest to go down and have a look. Ryan admitted that it was the first time any woman had invited him to go down. Rachel looked horrified and said it was all a bit saucy. Indeed.

SAG Awards Fashion

Screen Actors Guild Awards 2006

Where's Isaac Mizrahi?!
Notably absent from the red carpet is fashion maven, Isaac Mizrahi. He caused such a stir (in a good way) at the Golden Globes, I think that E! got scared.

But Isaac was hilarious! And oh so entertaining! Ryan Seacrest is no Isaac Mizrahi. The SAG awards are kind of boring, like an Oscars light, so it would've been nice to spice up the red carpet arrivals with Isaac again. Hopefully, he will be at the Oscars. The red carpet isn't the same without his exuberant and wild personality.

Fashion Trends on the carpet:
Ponytails, ponytails, ponytails. Nearly everyone had a ponytail! Also black and white continued to be hot along with pastels on the red carpet.

The Desperate Housewives...three of them showed up in the same color!
Felicity Huffman wore a lavendar, strapless, simple gown. Marcia Cross wore a beautiful, lavendar dress and Eva Longoria shoewd up in a pastel dress with lavender piping throughout. Did they call each other up before the show and coordinate? Left out of lavendar were Nicolette Sheridan, who wore a pretty, light green, strapless gown and Teri Hatcher who wore a gorgeous, light pink gown.

The photos I have thus far:

The gorgeous Katherine Heigl of "Grey's Anatomy", my favorite show!

I like the top of this dress but the bottom is kind of dowdy, a little like "Little House on the Prairie."



























Sandra Oh, of "Grey's". She won a Golden Globe and she won again tonight. She got a SAG.






















Last, but certainly not least, hottie, Josh Holloway, of "Lost".

James Frey is having a bad day; so is Jennifer Aniston

James Frey was reprimanded by The Oprah. Take that! And that! She tore into him during her show and was stunned as he sat there and said, "I still think of my book as a memoir." What is wrong with this guy?

Jennifer Aniston aka Maniston is also having a bad day. Not only is everyone talking about Angelina Jolie and her pregancy but they're talking about how bad Maniston feels. How much longer do we have to feel sorry for that B? I am really sick of it. Get over it already.

You had fallen out of love with Brad Pitt long before Angelina entered the picture. Don't you remember the magazine articles where Maniston was quoted as saying, "I don't think Brad Pitt is the love of my life." Ouch! How is a man supposed to feel after hearing his wife say something as hurtful as that? With a statement like that, does she really expect everyone to believe that she wanted to have his children?

So if Brad wasn't the One, is she implying that Tate Donovan (Sandra Bullock's leftovers) was the love of her life?

I think Oprah should have a show where she apologizes for hyping up so much sympathy for Maniston.

Angelina Jolie and her belly


Angelina looking radiant and showing off her belly as she arrives in London with baby Zahara.

Her Latin mantra showing as she bares her midriff.

Rumor has it that Angie's having a girl. Yet another rumor says she's having a boy. Regardless of whether or not it's a boy or a girl, one thing's for sure, the baby won't be named Jennifer.

Drew Barrymore on SNL

All week long, everyone's been talking about Drew Barrymore's saggy Golden Globes at the Golden Globes. So, what does she do? She comes on Saturday Night Live and makes fun of herself.

First of all, her boyfriend, Fabrizio Moretti, was playing with his band, The Strokes, on SNL. It was a given that she would show up.

But to don a blouse with saggy boobs to her waist and poke fun at herself was kind of cute. She came out during the news sketch, Weekend Update, and got Tina Fey's name wrong, she called her Amy. I'm certain Drew was nervous but the grey blouse she was wearing with the fake, saggy boobs was kind of funny. Amy and Tina kept playing with them and when Drew left, she tossed one over her shoulder.

If you can't make fun of yourself, then you've got issues. But I hope she learned her lesson, don't leave home without a bra!

Weekend Box Office

Vampires rule, at least at the movies. Kate Beckinsale's, "Underworld: Evolution" was the number one film this weekend with a respectable, $27.6 million take.

Weekend Box Office - January 20-22, 2006
1) Underworld: Evolution - $27.6 million
2) Hoodwinked - $11.1 million - cartoon caper for kids
3) Glory Road - $9.135 million - Jerry Bruckheimer basketball flick starring hottie, Josh Lucas
4) Last Holiday - $9.1 million - close behind, Queen Latifah's holiday romp
5) Brokeback Mountain - $7.8 million - the love movie everyone's talking about

Kiefer Sutherland eats


Kiefer Sutherland aka Jack Bauer did a commercial in Japan for some kind of weird drink.

The commercial was done '24' style with Kiefer running through a crowded subway to get the drink.

Here's a picture of him eating. Oddly fascinating, don't know why. Enjoy.

Jennifer Aniston Shops for Free at Sundance

Ah, there's nothing like free stuff to make you feel better especially after getting dumped and having the world know. Jennifer Aniston aka Maniston got a ton of free goodies at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.




Pagesix reports that Maniston picked up $5,000 worth of Lia Sophia Black Diamond Collection jewelry (wonder if there's an engagement ring in there) and a stylish, Kooba bag.

I'm certain she'll be picking up more free stuff during the festival.

Dancing with the Stars - Master P lucks out again

Okay, I hate to admit it, but I enjoy watching "Dancing with the Stars," even though the celebs are C-list at best. The dancing is atrocious, at times, which is probably why it's so entertaining and addicting. After getting 14 points out of a possible 30 and shuffling his feet, the rapper known as Master P, garnered enough votes to stay on the show. Unreal.

$1 million for Dodgeball writer's new screenplay

Wow! Dreamworks has paid $1 million for a screenplay from Rawson Marshall Thurber.

Who, you ask, is this lucky guy? His picture on imdb is kind of dorky.

Who is Raw? He's the guy who wrote the Ben Stiller movie, "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story", a clunker that made a ton of money at the box office. Plus, he's well-connected. He used to be John August's assistant. John wrote "Go", "Charlie's Angels" and that other Charlie, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."

So what's a million dollar script about? They won't say but rumor has it that it's about anger management starring Ben Stiller (not Adam Sandler). Let's hope it's better than Dodgeball.

Rumor Has It...Angeline Jolie is having twins


Wow! There's a rumor going round that Angelina Jolie had fertility treatments and is now expecting twins (Julia Roberts is rumored to have had the same treatments which tend to result in twins which she had).

I wonder if this rumor is true. It would be great news for Brad and again, sad news for Jennifer Aniston aka Maniston. Here she is putting on a brave face at Sundance with her good friend, Catherine Keener, who is still good friends with Brad Pitt (they were hanging out a couple of months ago). Hmm. How can she be good friends with both of them?

Meg Ryan wants to be Angelina Jolie

IMDB is reporting that Meg Ryan has adopted a Chinese baby. Hmm. Could she be pulling a Jolie? Does she want to be like Angie? Because I don't think that's going to happen.

But she will garner a lot of sympathy for adopting a foreign baby (much like Angelina did) but I don't know if it will help her career or help her snag a hottie like Brad Pitt.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie


It's official. Angelina Jolie's kids are also Brad's. In name only. For now. I wish they would get married already. Just do it!

More Golden Globes Fashion

Scarlett, see my boobs, Johansen in red. She looks really trashy. Perhaps that's why Isaac Mizrahi felt her up.





















Speaking of boobs, why is Heidi Klum wearing this outfit? Her breasts look small and saggy.

























Sandra Oh. I like her character on Grey's Anatomy, my fave show, but I'm not too keen on her dress. The back is nice but the front is not. Glad she won a Golden Globe.

























Lost star Evangeline Lilly in a gorgeous, green gown.
























Golden Globe winner, Rachel Weisz, looking radiant in a copper gown. She's five months pregnant by boyfriend, Darren Aronofsky.

























Virginia Madsen, who claims she's a size 2, in an unflattering blue number. Why Virginia why?

More Golden Globes Fashion

















































































































































































Desperate Housewives - Golden Globes

I think Teri Hatcher looked amazing. She wore a gorgeous, copper Versace gown.

Rumor has it she had a date with George Clooney but it was Isaac Mizrahi who felt her up. He's the new and improved Joan Rivers.






















Marcia Cross looks radiant in peach. I like the toga style of her dress but the color is hard to pull off. She wore a Marc Bouwer gown.





























Eva Longoria didn't really take a risk in red. Red is an easy color for brunettes and winters alike. She wore a red, criss-cross Bob Mackie (the man known for Cher's outrageous frocks) gown.




















Nicollette Sheridan, who was rumored to be a no show at the Golden Globes, turned up late with Michael Bolton in tow. She was wearing a deep blue, v-neck gown that perfectly matched her eyes.


Drew Barrymore needs a bra! Stat!

Drew Barrymore

Drew, drew, drew. Yes, you're cute. Yes, you're dating a hip, younger Stroke. But you are not 18 anymore! You need a bra when you're out in public! Especially at the Golden Globes! Especially in front of Steven Spielberg and the world!

Drew Barrymore had her double Ds reduced in a breast reduction surgery years ago. Hmm, can't really tell because she looks pretty heavy on top. And she's hanging low! When your breasts are that large you need to wear a bra! Big and saggy - not a good look on anyone including your grandma.

Golden Globes Fashion Wrap-Up

Some interesting choices at the Globes. Judge for yourself:

Eva Longoria. Is it me or does her face look kind of aged here? She's too tan. Notice the puffy eyes and wrinkles in the corners of her eyes. Has she been crying? Rumor is she and Tony Parker have broken up and she certainly was drinking a lot at the Globes.

And is her hair really that long? Or are those extensions?
































Marcia Cross looks great. I think her hair is beautiful and well-styled. I'm not certain about the peach-colored dress.

Hilary Swank. She looks nice in black but not really into it. Who can blame her? She is separating from Chad Lowe.




Ellen Pompeo or Meredith from Grey's Anatomy, my favorite show. She is giving Nicole Ritchie a run for her money in the skinny category. She has become a social x-ray.


Reese and Ryan Witherspoon. Oh wait, his name is Phillipe. I forget because she's the star and $ earner in this family. Pagesix was making fun of her because the dress she's wearing is an old one that Kirsten Dunst wore three years ago to the Globes. Oops. Chanel told her it was vintage but three years old and worn by Kiki doesn't count.

Angelina Jolie is Pregnant with Brad Pitt's Baby!

Rumored for weeks, it has finally been confirmed - Angelina is pregnant with Brad's baby!

I knew it! I knew it!

Congratulations! That baby will be very good-looking unlike J Ro's (Julia Roberts) kids.

Go Team Jolie! Somewhere Jennifer Maniston must be steaming and secretly ripping up pictures of Brad and Angelina...

Julia Roberts has ugly kids

Remember that line Julia Roberts said in "Notting Hill" when they were having dinner and vying for the last brownie?

She was trying to gain sympathy by pleading her case that, 'one day, I'll only look like someone who used to be famous?' Well, that day has come.

She really is not aging well and unlike other Hollywood stars, she's not injecting her face with collagen, restalyne or whatever non-FDA approved skincare regimen everyone is raving about in la la land. And it shows. I don't care if she's good friends with Oprah. So be it.

Julia really looks like a much older version of herself. And her kids aren't looking that great either. I know, I know, it's not nice to make fun of children (Johnny Depp did it in "Charlie") but I really have no choice here. The girl looks kind of scary/blah and the boy is another carrot top? Yikes. Also, the outfit does not help. Poor kid. Weird too because he doesn't look like any of the parents and the dad/hubby is hot (better looking than she is anyway). Guess that's what you get for stealing a married man (Danny Moder was married when Julia met him on the set of "The Mexican" with Brad Pitt (whom thankfully she did not get to kiss in the movie).

I wonder if her kids will grow up to be like the Parasite Hiltons of the world? They almost have to be because they will be spoiled, pampered, rich and won't have to work for a thing.

Chad Lowe Swank'd

If London is for lovers, then NY is for break-ups.
LA too.

Sad news - Hilary Swank and her hubby, Chad 'not as pretty as brother Rob' Lowe are separating.

Hmm.

First, she forgets to thank him after she won her first Oscar. Chad must feel bad.


Then, she has the audacity to win a second Oscar. This time, she thanks him, but Chad feels worse. Why? Two Oscars within five years?

What's he worked on? Um, Celebrity Charades. Which was on what channel? Bravo.
And was seen by whom? Um, no one.

But they've been together for so long and they seemed so happy.

What a shame. I feel like going over there and consoling them or him rather.
They are neighbors of mine in the West Village but I'm certain they're both not living together.
I wonder who is going to get custody of that fab brownstone?

London is for Lovers


Ah, to be young and in love...and good-looking and rich and famous! Orlando Bloom and Kate Bosworth - truly a good-looking young couple. Here they are in London this week after attending a show. They both look good; red's a good color for her. Sigh. So lucky!














Another lucky B! Gwennie Paltrow or is it Gwennie Martin? Also in London this week.
Okay, so Chris looks a bit goofy in this picture (what's up with that expression?) but normally, he looks just swell (yes, I said swell). She looks great, as always, that B! She's the reason why I refuse to buy another Coldplay album. Why should I support her and her fabulous lifestyle?
