the final red carpet of the night...





reserved for my kooky girls!
a.
*florence welch in valentino. she is the only person who could've worn that dress tonight and made it look ethereal. her red hair is gorgeous!
*helena bonham carter...looked downright demure in a dress by costume designer colleen atwood...
*sharon stone in dior. the big heads over at e! were talking about how fabulous she looked. i guess if you like that rat's nest, want-to-be-20 and a witch look.

red carpet...love it or hate it?


you know i love her, and i'm loving all the red...but i'm just not feeling sandra bullock's look.
she's too pale, it's too much taffeta, the bag's the wrong color, i don't know.
i can't even stand myself for saying anything negative about sandra bullock!!
(but i am not hating the pink embroidered jenny packham and bangs from the golden globes so much now...at least it was daring)

sandra bullock in vera wang...i know everyone else likes it, but come on! you're sandra bullock! you could wear a trash bag and everyone would still love you!

red carpet...love it or hate it?


nicole kidman's upside down dior kimono is growing on me. i bet in person the embroidery is incredible...there is a lot of skirt.
and her little wispy bangs look stupid.

so far...

*jude law is allowed to make jokes about robert downey's drug escapades, but ricky gervais is not. poo poo hypocrite!
*james franco does NOT a pretty woman make.
*anne hathaway can sing, sure. but that hugh jackman song was corn-on-the-cob.
*i'm glad randy newman won, but that '127 hours' song was haunting...florence welch is the shit!
*i hate the tribute part of the show. at least they weren't clapping louder for some than for others like they normally do!
a.

is it just me...


or does matthew mcconaughey look like a tan skeletor??
maybe the malibu workouts have gotten a bit too extreme!
it's called sunblock, honey!
;)
*camilla alves, on the other hand, looks freaking gorgeous!*

red carpet...love it or hate it?


kiddies...this is how you grow older gracefully.
(and that is meant to be a compliment!)
not with botox and fillers, but with elegance, a beautiful gown that isn't over-the-top or a ridiculous color, sleek hair and makeup, and impeccable style.
love love LOVE!

cate blanchett...in givenchy couture.
this photo does NOT do the beautiful lilac shade of this dress justice.
very few people could have pulled this off, but she nailed it!
it must be nice to be able to drape yourself in couture and float like a butterfly down the red carpet...

the oscars are HERE!
settle in with us as we check out the good, the bad, and the just plain freaking cuckoo bananas!
starting us off...ryan seacrest just announced that there is going to be some sort of rumored twilight thing happening tonight.
because when i think of the academy awards...i think of "twilight".
not so much.

charlie sheen is...


BAT. SHIT. CRAZY.
so, the cuckoo crazy saga that is charlie sheen continues...porn stars calling the cops locked in the bathroom, across the hall from the ex and the kids in the eloise suite at the plaza...oh, i'm sorry. an allergic reaction to prescription medication. *wink wink*
going to the hospital for a "hernia"...i guess that's better than the usual "exhaustion".
*nudge nudge*
in-home rehab. uh-huh.
now he's slamming 'two men' creator chuck lorre, prompting cbs and warner bros. to halt production on the show, putting countless numbers of crew out of a paycheck.
what's next?
oh wait, i'm sorry. he's supposedly (according to the ny post) now checked out of "in-home rehab" and 'The hell-raising actor treated himself to a handful of "goddesses" -- porn star Bree Olsen, his pot-magazine model girlfriend Natalie Kenly and estranged wife Brooke Mueller -- in a bizarre menage-a-quatre vacation in the Bahamas while his career imploded at home.

"We're having a ball . . . Everybody's mad because I'm having too much fun and I'm clean," Charlie Sheen boasted to KCLA radio yesterday.'



update: charlie has taped an interview with abc's "20/20", the first part airing tuesday 10pm.
