Lady Gaga's Born This Way Video

The video has landed!!!


Jimmy Kimmel Is BRILL.


Jimmy Kimmel had his post-Oscar special last night and I am ready to order this video.

Don't tell my husband.

Let's get RIDICULAWESOME!


The 2011 Oscars - Post #2

It seems like one of the only red carpet people I missed is Reese Witherspoon...the rest are from the show and I'll post some more later today from the parties.


Reese Witherspoon:
I hate the hair. It's so Barbie. I mean, not that I wish my hair weren't that thick and bouncy, but barely any of it is hers. She has short hair now, doesn't she?

The dress is boring. It's weird, but ever since Julia Roberts wore that vintage black and white dress, any black and white dress reminds me of it. Here is an example of that.

I don't know. There's nothing wrong with it, per se, it's just really boring.

Anne Hathaway - Dress change #1:
A little stuffy, for my taste. But not un-pretty. It's too bad she came off as such a dork that night. And just trying to protect us from James Franco's douchiness.

Melissa Le0 - Best Supporting Actress:
My brilliant friend wrote me "holy earlobes" when Kurt Douglas came on. I responded that I'm pretty sure that comes when you're of biblical age. No?

I hate that I have to see her dress again. I honestly don't think I would hate it nearly as much if it FIT her. But it didn't. At all. Gross.

Also, super classy F-bomb during the acceptance speech.

Christian Bale - Best Supporting Actor:
One of the best acceptance speeches I've ever heard. In fact, I have shivers right now just writing about it. He said the most beautiful thing about his wife, he alluded to his previous flying off the handle episodes. It was really nice. He seemed sincerely honored to have won the Oscar


Anne Hathaway - Change #2:
Cute? I don't know. She looks amazing. And she had custom beaded Brian Atwoods on. But him in that dress is kind of upsetting to me.

Anne Hathaway - Dress Change #3:
Probably the most underwhelming of all the dresses. And her hair! Oh god, her hair. It was awful. I don't know. I didn't love this dress. The bottom got lost in the stage.

Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law:
Oh RDJ. Why are you so wonderful? They were very cute. I almost want them to have a breakfast talk show. I would watch that.

Anne Hathaway - Dress Change #4:
Love the fringe. I love fringe. And she looks like she's having fun. Unlike the human bong standing next to her.

Zachary Levi & Mandy Moore:
Um, his skin color - on his face exclusively - is really not ok. I can deal with the arm. It looks natural. But his face. OMG. That ridic.

And Mandy looks much prettier here than she did all severe on the red carpet. The blue is gorge too.

Aaron Sorkin - Best Adapted Screenplay:
He made some adorable comment about his daughter's rodent needing to respect him now that he had an Oscar. Isn't that cute?

If you haven't watched West Wing or the very brief Studio 60 on Sunset, please do. The dialogue is classic Sorkin. Mad brilliant.

Anne Hathaway - Dress Change #5:
This dress was gorgeous. I wasn't in love with the waterfalls of chiffon sprouting out of it, it looks a little too concentrated and almost disease-like, but it's a gorgeous color.

Anne Hathaway - Dress Change #6:
I don't love this. It's a bit too 80's for me. Too bad, had potential.


Oprah:
BOOBS!
That is all.


Billy Crystal:
Apparently Billy's humour was a welcome change over the dullness of the other 2 hosts, but really, guy needs to stop putting things in his face, because he's approaching freak show in looks.

Anne Hathaway - Dress Change #7:
Tom Ford. Mmmm. I don't LOVE a turtleneck, but she looks amazing and sleek and totally glam. Puurrrr.
Love Tom Ford.

The 2011 Oscars - Post #1

Because I'm sure I'll fall upon another 4 billion photos tomorrow, I'll call this post #1.

Where the hell was Cameron Diaz? Too busy working out?

Amy Adams:
The color is gorge, the fit is perfection, the sparkles were wonderful. The hair was a bit meh, and I am not a fan of the mock turtleneck and necklace combination, but I cannot deny that she looks lovely.

Anne Hathaway:
I am not a fan of bustles, in general, but some people in the world can pull them off. Apparently Anne Hathaway is one of them. She's just so happy looking, how can you dislike her? I don't love the fabric on that dress...it looks papery. But seriously, she looks SO happy. I'm excited to see the rest of her costume changes over the night.

Annette Benning & Warren Beatty:
I saw an interview where Warren seemed to break a bit when talking about how much he loves his wife. It was cute. But it also made me realize how old he is. And it seems like all of sudden. Liver spots etc.

Anyhoo, Annette's hair is a bit mad, but she looks great. I love this dress, it's age appropriate, it's elegant, it fits impeccably - gorge.

Armie Hammer and wife:
Wife is a major stunner. I saw her in a tiny thumbnail and wanted to marry her a little. I don't know who this guy is (haven't seen Social Network, I know, am a douche) but I am in love with his wife.

Busy Phillips:
I do not like this dress. At all. It's so Eva Longoria 2 years ago. Also, being on Cougartown now gets you an invite to the Oscars? Errr...


Cate Blanchett:
Look at this woman. LOOK AT HER. I love this dress for it's architectural qualities, for how statuesque she looks in it and for the pale, pale lavendar of it. I don't like the sleeve and the weird colored chickpeas around the neckline make me not love it. It's a bit too weird.

Celine Dion:
The woman JUST had twins. This is ridiculous. Now, while discussing the outfit with my lovely friend Gibbs, I conjectured that a tummy tuck may have been part of the recovery process, but who cares? She looks AMAZING.

Cheryl Hines:
Cleavagey. And toothy. That is all.

Christian Bale and the Mrs:
Shave the beard. Also, I think his wife spilled hot chocolate on her dress. Ha ha. Ugh, so not funny. Sorry.

Cody Horn:
Who?
Also, WTF?
Seriously, are those arm warmers? Ew.
Colin Firth and the Mrs:
I took this pic mostly because I totally hate her dress. It's like full length ballet barf. Copyright.

But nice triceps.

Daphne Zuniga:
Doesn't she have any friends who could have told her that she accidentally cut her dress in multiple places when opening the box from the "designer" (aka Kohl's)? Yikes.

Erin Andrews:
This girl is built like a porn star. And she looks classy like one. She works for ET apparently? And used to be on DWTS.

Ugh, I need thicker hair.
Florence Welch:
I don't quite get why she was invited, but I don't mind. She's fun and always sasses up the red carpet.

I am not a fan of the Green Gables long sleeves and crew neck, but she is who she is and this is to be expected.

Giuliana Rancic:
Wearing Christian Siriano, looking like an alien again. I don't know who made the call to put this freakshow on TV, but it was a bad one. I hate having to look at her. It's icky.

Gwyneth Paltrow:
STUNNING. She is on a roll. I don't love that weird little belt thing, but I don't care. I love it. She put her hair behind her ear a couple too many times and she looked like an elf, so I would counsel against that, but otherwise, hotness.

Jennifer Lawrence needs to take notes. If you're going to wear Calvin to the Oscars, THIS is how you do it.

Hailee Steinfeld:
The tea length is PERFECT. She's so cute and young and fresh. I want to pluck her eyebrows, but I'll get over that in a bit. I kind of wish the dress was a tinge pinker though, it blends a bit too much with her arms and shoulders.

Halle Berry:
I have no words.
Ok, I have a few, but they're mostly about how stunningly beautiful she is and how I wish I was her.
OMG.

Helena Bonham Carter:
Speaking of OMG, OMG! This woman is such a nut job.
The sleeves were the worst, all bows and gift wrapping and circus tent-y. Yeesh.

Hilary Swank:
Really? This again? Let me guess - Marchesa? Georgina and friend need to lay off the marabou feathers.

I don't even know if it is Marchesa, I'm guessing. But I feel like this look is so DONE. And she's worn it before. BORED.

Jennifer Hudson:
The boobs are weirding me out. They're weird! Her hair also looked really weird from behind. It was a half up in a low pony, very weird and oddly put together. I like that she wore color though, but maybe I don't need to see your underboob. Just saying.



Jennifer Lawrence:
I said it in the live blog, I'll say it here: Too casual for the Oscars. Even the hair. Had she held it back in a bun, it would have been immensely better, but with the casual waves and the simple cut with the matte fabric, it's too much. Narciso Rodriguez is a GENIUS, but this is not Oscar worthy.

Gorgeous, just not Oscar worthy.

Jesse Eisenberg:
Slick BOYEEEE.
I wish he would smile though.
Also, my husband needs new dress shoes.


Juliette Binoche:
I feel like this is how Christina Aguilera should have looked, instead of totally painted into her version.

This woman is so beautiful. Only the French can pull off beautiful like this. Enviable.

Kevin Spacey:
Ha! Is there a better picture from the night? I totally want to party with him.

Lara Spencer:
Even after looking at her IMDB profile I have no clue why this woman is there. But, I commend her on wearing color. Even if it is majorly obnoxious in shade. And she overdid it with the matchy matchy jewelry.

Mandy Moore:
I don't get it. Does she think there's going to be a sequel to Black Swan that she may be able to audition for by simply acting austere on the red carpet?

Did she get work done and her face is frozen?

I don't love this. First of all, I'm bored with the nude now, and I don't like how the sequins are only in that area, making it look like she's wearing a mini dress with a disease. I don't know.

I don't love it.

Maria Menounos:
Why does this woman irritate me so? She REALLY does though. AND she's wearing velvet and not looking obese. She must be insanely thin to pull that off.

But really - her hair?

Mario van Peebles:
I only saved this pic because I could not believe that he was invited. Really? WHY?

Marissa Tomei:
I love me some Marissa Tomei, but this dress is not good. And not flattering. And giving her a gunt (definition here)...and her face isn't looking so hot. And her hair makes her look like a soccer mom, or a mom in a cleaning product commercial who should be wearing ironed khakis and a blouse with roll-up sleeves who looks REALLY satisfied by how shiny her grout is.

I'm just saying.

Mark Ruffalo:
It is my life's goal to find a better picture of this dress. It is the WORST dress I think I have ever seen. I compare it in fugliness to Celine's reverse tux of yore. Really not good. And look at the right shoulder? OMG. So awful.

Also, her name is Sunshine. SUNSHINE.

Mark Wahlberg:
I do not understand why his wife always looks so annoyed. Like, really bitch? Then don't come. Also, I kind of hate her ombre hair. It's fugly.

And is he wearing his dad's tux? That doesn't look like it fits him so well...

Matthew McConaughey:
She looks beautiful, but when you saw them interviewed (and Maria Menounos couldn't remember her name - smooth) you started to kind of think that maybe they hit the bong on the way there because her hair was all messy and stoned looking. I'm just saying!

Melissa Leo:
She said she picked this dress because it's something that her character would have picked. Um. I don't even think her character would have worn something that horrible.

A human doily.

Congratulations on the win though, she was AMAZING!


Michelle Williams:
A marked improvement from the rest of the awards season. Very lovely and she looks so serene. The last time she was at the Oscar's was with Heath. I wonder how this felt for her.


Mila Kunis:
So beautiful. Like, ridiculous. Her hair was kind of gross, like really flapper girl 20's pin curls, but she's too beautiful to dislike anything. I love the color, it's so soft and pretty. I am a little nervous about those transparent parts though, they're risky.


Natalie Portman:
Preggo! She showed up very late, got rushed through the carpet a bit. She looks very pretty.

I am a little frightened for her acceptance speech. Gulp.

Nicole Kidman:
WOAH. What on earth is going on here? The shoes are out of nowhere, the hip detail is terrible. I mean, maybe Keith could pull off that dress better, with his hair, but this is a huge misstep for her. She looked better at the Grammys. Woah.

I'm in shock a bit.

Penelope Cruz & Javier Bardem:
She JUST had a baby. A month ago! She looks amazing! I lurve them as a couple. So cute.

Her dress looks a little budget though, no?

Robery Downey Jr and the Mrs:
This AND the Kevin Spacey picture would have an amazing picture party. I am going to go print them and make them have fun together. Yay! Playing!

Russell Brand:
Maybe he was trying to make his mom look better, but Russell Brand seems to have aged A LOT. Like, a LOT. Like it's alarming. Also, what's going on with his shoes?

Sandra Bullock:
Gorgeous. Vera Wang. Elegant and perfect. And oh my god she's charming. I watched her interview twice and she was so amazing. I wanted to be her friend. And punch Jesse James? Who's with me?

Scarlett Johannson:
As I'm writing this, I'm watching her on stage. I love it because it's original, and it looks SO much better on stage. The colors clash a bit but also look so amazing. And it's original, and it's backless and her hair is SO cute.

Now let's see if she and JT hook up tonight because someone showed up without Jessica Biel.

Sharon Stone:
I will have nightmares with this woman tonight. She looks so goddam scary. She's Sharon Stone.

But she's looking a little too Cruella Deville-y...like, I want to hide all puppies from her.

Virginia Madsen:
The spokeswoman for Botox!
I don't remember her forehead being that large, but I guess when you are paid to inject things into it, you should show it off.

The dress is kind of annoying, in that it's too dramatic for her. What have you done since Sideways? Aside from the Botox ads, of course.

Tell me!

Ok, good night my lovelies! I'll be back tomorrow to catch anyone I missed.
