No Looking, No Talking, No Breathing Diva antics are rather pedestrian these days so it takes a super bitch and her ass attitude to really push the envelope. A photo shoot with a major artist. Much is riding on her new project. Everyone is busting their balls to make her look good. But it’s hard By Lainey • Feb 26, 2008 04:33 am
Oscar Thanks Skip to the next if you can’t stand it but it would be criminal not to thank those who helped make Oscar weekend so amazing. Here’s Dylan being Dylan posing with Oscar in his tux. Note – at the Oscars, EVERYONE has to dress up. Camera crew, assistants, technicians, By Lainey • Feb 26, 2008 04:22 am
Penelope Cruz Best Oscar Man: Javier Bardem He is a giant of a man. So tall, so sexy, so strong, so… MAN. We watched him stalking the carpet, full of nervous energy but chill at the same time. We watched him pose at the photo wall – something about the way he planted his legs firmly on the By Lainey • Feb 26, 2008 02:22 am
Marion Cotillard Best Oscar Dress: Marion Cotillard There was no dress last night as exquisite as hers. Not a dress for everyone, but for a French girl, with inimitable French style, wearing French couture, and charming everyone in the auditorium, it was perfect. Jack Nicholson apparently couldn’t get enough of her. At one point he was By Lainey • Feb 26, 2008 02:17 am
Johnny Depp Best Oscar Porn: Johnny & Vanessa Hers was my favourite black dress – beautifully constructed, up close you could see the gathers, and the way it fit around her waist was amazing. It was the first time I’d seen them together… was well worth the wait. Between Johnny and Vanessa, it’s not really porn like By Lainey • Feb 26, 2008 02:11 am
Jennifer Hudson Worst Oscar Breasts: Jennifer Hudson In photos they actually don’t look so droopy. In person however and on tv too they looked like a burden, like the weight of a hundred sandbags ready to collapse. Is Andre Leon Talley to blame for this one too? Poor thing had to wear a space station bolero By Lainey • Feb 26, 2008 02:05 am
Eggs in Public At an Oscar party on Sunday night, he"s been drinking, she"s been nagging. Turns into a huge, embarrassingly loud argument about the most personal of matters: she wants babies, he doesn"t, and they proceed to yell at each other about it in front of By Lainey • Feb 26, 2008 01:22 am
Best Oscar True: Diablo Cody Everyone knows her story by now: Diablo Cody, now an Oscar winning screenwriter used to be a stripper. Google the rest of you need to. The point is…Diablo Cody is far from conventional Oscar. And she never will be. So why would you want her to put on an By Lainey • Feb 25, 2008 07:06 am
About Once In response to many of your emails today about Once’s big win over Enchanted last night – we were squealing in the press room. If you’ve seen it, you obviously know why. But this has now become my biggest fear – love a celebrity, or a film, or a song, By Lainey • Feb 25, 2008 06:37 am
Patrick Dempsey Best Hair & Scowl: Patrick and Mrs Dempsey As usual, his hair knocked out all competition on the carpet. Even the women. Speaking of women, his woman brought her usual misery – permascowl glued to her face the entire carpet and even when she tried to smile the eyes were devoid of true amusement. Some people are just born By Lainey • Feb 25, 2008 05:28 am
Brad Pitt The Big Bust Interrupting Oscar wrap-up to fill you in the much hyped Pitt/Aniston showdown Saturday at the Night Before Oscar party. Didn’t happen. Because the Pitts bailed. They spent a few hours at the Spirit Awards and then decided not to bother with the rest. Their absence can certainly be By Lainey • Feb 25, 2008 05:11 am
Heidi Klum Best Red: Heidi Klum Don’t really care for her personality and not particularly down with the hype about her gorgessity but when it comes to wearing a dress and doing it justice… Heidi Klum is the sh*t. I almost missed a cue on live tv last night because of this dress. First By Lainey • Feb 25, 2008 04:30 am
Keri Russell Most Hungry: Renee Zellweger & Keri Russell I interviewed Keri Russell at Sundance for Waitress. She had just announced her pregnancy and she was beautiful. Lovely skin, lovely healthy glow, sweet shy demeanour … at the risk of sounding cheesy, I was totally enchanted. Then she arrived last night full of bones and not much else. We were By Lainey • Feb 25, 2008 04:09 am
Helen Mirren Worst Queen: Helen Mirren Last year she rocked it in a Christian Lacroix. Last night she looked like she should have stayed home and needlepointed the evening away. In person, this dress was a disaster. I realise in photos and on tv, you were seeing the hot lights from the cameras and the set By Lainey • Feb 25, 2008 03:49 am
Jennifer Garner Best Taupe: Jennifer Garner Normally Taupe Jennifer Garner brought it…and how. There was an edge to her on the carpet last night – something sassy, something confident, something really sexy in the way she walked, in the way she posed, in the way she invited people to look at her. It was a new By Lainey • Feb 25, 2008 02:54 am
Keith Urban Worst Oscar Knocked Up: Granny Freeze Yeah so this whole doting wife, delicate flower sh*t is getting as old as her face. Look at them! Look at Gran and her man getting all emotional on us on the carpet – because posing in front of hundreds of screaming journalists and fans is exactly the place to By Lainey • Feb 25, 2008 02:03 am
