Sally Field Gossip

Is Jay Z working on new music? Let’s hope it’s not some Suit & Tie sh-t again. That was awful. Remember when he rapped about “truffle season”? I can’t even blame JT for that.   Wonder what #Zaytoven and #JayZ have cookin up in the studio! Full Story

Julia Roberts is currently promoting HBO’s The Normal Heart. That means a lot of Julia being Julia. Which means Julia honking, Julia lecturing, Julia judging… Julia being Julia. Which is kinda like Mimi being Mimi. Except Mimi doesn’t call it anything other than what it is. Julia pretends like she’s actually selfless. 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.

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?

Anne Hathaway is considered the favourite to win the Best Supporting Actress Oscar by most experts. But you know this is a tight season. The tightest it’s been in a long time.

The Hollywood Reporter has posted its video/transcript of the 2012 Actress Roundtable – 7 women were invited (Anne Hathaway, Amy Adams, Sally Field, Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz, Helen Hunt and Marion Cotillard), but as we know only 5 will be nominated, and there’s no guarantee it will be 5 exclusively from this group. Full Story

Steel Magnolias was on this weekend. I decided to watch it before watching the new Lifetime version with Queen Latifah. It’s been years, a long, long time. Duana told me recently that Steel Magnolias still holds up. Of course she was right. It might even be better. It’s certainly funnier. Full Story

I wish all the girls could have been there last night at the Shirley MacLaine AFI event. Still, it was enough to make me want to watch it right now. Maybe tonight. Maybe Jacek will go out and leave me alone to cry at the television and I can put the True Blood screeners on hold until tomorrow. Duana and I just texted back and forth about this. Full Story
