Bad Style The BAFTAs 2009 I love the BAFTAs. They’re so all business. It’s like, let’s get on with it, move it along, we’re not caught up in our own importance.

Angelina Jolie has kicked off an awards season trend! Only Frank’ By Lainey • Jan 27, 2009 01:13 am
Douchebags SAG Crotch Itch: Mickey Rourke It’s no secret…he’ll readily admit it… the man is depraved. Quite obviously, awards season turns him on. Or his psoriasis is flaring up. Whatever the reason, Mickey Rourke can’t keep his hands off his junk. Like constantly. Perhaps it’s his way of dealing with nerves. By Lainey • Jan 26, 2009 12:38 am
