Hollywood Closet Quickest Oscar Hair Growth: John Travolta Ridiculous. Here’s what John Travolta’s hair looked like a month ago. Don’t tell me this is all natural. My hair doesn’t even grow that fast. And I’m practically the world champion of hair growth. This is almost two inches. Please. Unless plugs grow faster? Like they’ By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 08:34 am
Assy Style Worst Oscar Bow: Reese Witherspoon At first when I saw this dress on Reese, I was more than willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. In fact, my notes say “This is more interesting than I expected it to be”. That’s because, when I first saw it on the carpet, there was By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 08:17 am
Oscars 2013 Oscars Most Improved: Halle Berry It was, by far, not the best dress of the night, and certainly not my flavour, but, and it’s crazy to say this about Halle Berry, by her standards, it’s a great improvement. Remember what she wore to the Golden Globes? Click here for a refresher. In comparison By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 08:05 am
Oscars 2013 Best Oscar Display of Humanity: Meryl Streep I was hardly the only one to see it, but I am delighted that we now have the potential to recapture it. This is fantastic. The best actress in the world picks her wedgie (I would also have accepted “adjusts her fullback underwear”), and not only smiles with grace about By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 07:49 am
Assy Style Oscars Most Creased: Helen Hunt Good for her about H&M because it’s an environmental initiative. Which…explains why her dress looked so cheap. Because it was. It’s basically what you wear to work. And you get out of the car and, oh sh-t, your blazer is already lined across the back. By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 07:34 am
Dumbass Worst Oscar Mislabel: Octavia Spencer Octavia Spencer wore a gorgeous sort of pale ochre-y deep cream piece of fanciness which suited her really nicely with an off-centre neckline of which is surprising and unusual without being too try-hard-y. This is exactly the right note you want to strike for the year after you win an By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 07:00 am
Dumbass Oscar Whys: Munn, Stamos, Glanville I asked on Twitter why Olivia Munn was at the Oscars. Someone replied that she was in Magic Mike. Yeah so was Joe Manganiello. You think Joe Manganiello should be at the Oscars? Still, Olivia Munn had more reason, I guess if you stretch, than John Stamos. Was Uncle Jesse By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 06:43 am
Oscars 2013 Best Oscar Repeat: Zoe Saldana The first thing I thought when I saw Zoe Saldana’s dress was that it was lilac – like the one she wore in 2010. I was ready to get all skeptical like “what was she thinking?”, but here’s the genius of it. It’s like the same dress – but By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 06:31 am
Oscars 2013 Best Oscar Spaz: Helena Bonham Carter The hair will always be crazy and in her face. And a nest in the back. And I’m not sure any stylist would admit to having created it. Can you imagine HBC having her hair done anyway? Or by anyone else? She did this in the hotel, right? Had By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 06:17 am
Assy Style Worst Oscar Spaz: Renee Zellweger Renee Zellweger went back to her favourite, Carolina Herrera, to present at the Oscars. It was one of several “tank” style dresses with gold accents that we saw on the night -- including Catherine Zeta-Jones, with whom she presented. It didn’t work for Zeta and it doesn’t work By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 06:03 am
Oscars 2013 Best FLOTUS for AMPAS I’ve always been entertained by the FLOTUS acronym, and I feel like it gets used in print and not enough out loud, not least because “First Lady” is an annoying title to have. So much more often, she’s just called Michelle Obama, which I think is her subtle By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 05:46 am
Oscars 2013 Oscar Lipsynch: Catherine Zeta-Jones I couldn’t come up with it in 140 words or less on Twitter in time but my point is -- did you have a reaction to the fact that Michael Douglas and Jane Fonda make more sense than Michael Douglas and Catherine-Zeta Jones…? Many of you thought it was By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 05:34 am
Oscars 2013 Intro for February 25feb13 Dear Gossips, Who were the big winners at the Oscars? Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler beat the Oscars. They didn’t just beat Seth MacFarlane (although we’ll get to him later), they beat the Academy. Because that… that was a poorly produced show. Where By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 04:42 am
Media Manipulation Oscar Week and The Girl On Fire Jennifer Lawrence is considered one of the favourites for Best Actress on Sunday (even though more and more momentum seems to be shifting to Emmanuelle Riva). Taking advantage of her profile going into the weekend, promotional images from two separate campaigns not related to Silver Linings Playbook have been released. By Lainey • Feb 22, 2013 03:53 pm
Oscars 2013 Jack, Dustin, DDL, and the Campaign The Academy announced today that Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman will present at the Oscars on Sunday. Some call Nicholson the unofficial mascot of the Oscars. And Hoffman, well, you don’t need me to explain why he’s a legend. Needless to say, then, given the gravitas of both By Lainey • Feb 22, 2013 02:46 pm
Douchebags Sour Grapes is So BORING Oh my God, with this, Ethan Hawke. Are you serious? Elaine loves to taunt Michelle and me about our teenage love for him. I have to admit, it feels embarrassing in retrospect. Not because he wasn’t cute then, or appealing to our young selves, but because there’s that By Duana • Feb 22, 2013 01:48 pm
