Freida Pinto Slumdog vs Goliath So you know by now, it’s Slumdog the Underdog vs Benjamin Button Goliath at the Oscars. Understand who Academy members actually are: old people and Hollywood players.

Hook Ups McGosling setback Suicide watch today. Because Rachel McAdams has a new boyfriend. It’s Josh Lucas. They were at the Purple Ball on Tuesday night not just holding hands but, like, neck biting. Neck biting in public means there’s a lot of sex happening.

Mischa Barton Oh hi Seth Cohen! The last time I remember seeing Adam Brody he was rolling on the grass at some party writhing on top of some girl. Amazing.

Brad Pitt The Nominations! The BAFTAs were an omen. No Sally Hawkins.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Why Size 2 is single For too long now, Us Weekly has been slapping D List celebrities on its cover with reports written from inside Lauren Conrad’s ass.
