Is Helen Mirren. He presented her with the Empire Legend Award in London last night. Look at this woman. She is spectacular. She is spectacular in that dress. She is spectacular with the coat on top of it. She is spectacular all the time. And did you see Phil Spector on HBO last night? I watched it on a screener last week and couldn’t sleep afterwards, Al Pacino was so f-cking creepy. Full Story

You know, I know that red dresses are kind of frowned upon on this site from time to time. I know that the prevailing wisdom is that it’s impossible to do one well.  To this I say you know what? We’re throwing out the rule book. Because Sally Field is fantastic, and she looks spectacular, and she’s doing that thing where the dress reminds you of the part without actually being a costume from the show, and I was delighted. Full Story

Love the cap sleeve. The cap sleeve works at any age. It worked for Reese Witherspoon at her first Oscars, it works for Sally Field here at her, I dunno, how many Golden Globes has she attended? The colour is lovely on her. And the cleavage too. And her face isn’t jacked. And at 66 she still lights you up inside when she smiles. Full Story

Sharon Stone is in Paris with her son Quinn. Holiday? Sure. And a convenient photo shoot. Just to rub it into your ass how well she looks in her 50s. Like, ridiculous. And totally the opposite of over-processed. Her lips aren’t giving birth to new lips, her cheeks aren’t filled, she has lines, she isn’t trying to be 25, and in not trying to look 25, she’s looking at least 10 years, if not more, younger than she is. Full Story

Are the same age. I guess there are many different ways of doing it... Here’s Michelle Pfeiffer this weekend at the premiere of People Like Us. She looks lovely. She doesn’t look like she’s fighting it. Do you remember her in Tequila Sunrise? This is my favourite Mel Gibson movie. Full Story

This is Sharon Stone on Sunday at The Elizabeth Glaser Paediatric AIDS Foundation A Time For Heroes picnic in LA. She just turned 54. She and Madonna were born the same year. Well that’s another way to do it, isn’t it? Am I crazy? Because Sharon Stone looks amazing to me. Way better than Nicole Kidman who’s 10 years younger, way better than Lindsay Lohan who’s 20 years younger. Full Story

Rob Lowe is participating in a charity event in Vancouver. He arrived yesterday with his assistant, then went for a walk in Stanley Park. Which he pretty much turned into an advertisement for Stanley Park. Right? This...doesn’t seem possible. Rob Lowe should be volunteering his biology, every part of himself, for testing. Full Story

Diane Keaton was in Toronto yesterday and appeared on The Marilyn Denis Show. I can’t find any pap photos of her. And there are several pap agencies represented in Toronto. For some reason, I guess Diane Keaton wasn’t a draw...?Who doesn’t love Diane Keaton? As my friend Michelle noted yesterday, Diane Keaton is universally adored. Full Story

There’s a feature on Susan Sarandon in the new issue of PEOPLE. She talks about aging in Hollywood. You can read most of it here. I like the part where she talks about how there are a lot of guys out there who are attracted to interesting women. Because their mothers raised them to be. Full Story

I don’t like the word “regimen”. I think because it’s often confused with “regiment” and I hate when people sound dumb. Like when they add a “d” in “whirlwind” and make it “worldwind”.  Britney used to do this all the time. And Justin Timberlake too, until he started using big words like he’s some kind of celebrity thinker. Full Story

Biker jacket over an animal print maxi dress...And no one else came close that night. Not even close.  Full Story

Susan Sarandon was in Toronto earlier this week at the opening of SPiN, the ping-pong social club she's been supporting for a while in New York. Ping-pong is a big Hollywood deal these days. All the parties I've been to this year, there are ping-pong tables set up and famous people lining up to play, vigourously. Full Story

Cannot tell you how excited I am to see Michelle Yeoh’s name on almost every list of predictions, so far, for a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her performance in The Lady. That’s three out of 5 for biopics this year if Yeoh, Meryl Streep, and Michelle Williams hold up on the hype. Yeoh plays Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese freedom fighter and social activist who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990 while under house arrest. Full Story

Jessica Chastain in 30. Helen Mirren is well over 30. She’s 66. How many times does a 30 year old have to worry about looking not as good standing next to a 66 year old? That’s Helen Mirren. Here they are at the New York screening of The Debt last night in New York. Jessica plays a young Helen in the film which has been held for release for what seems like years. Full Story
