K Is For Kate, Who Kicks Ass, Takes Names
Kate doesn't take shit from anybody, meaning she can be an awesome go-getter — or an ice queen.

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button's Terrible Australian Premiere
Remember how at Yesterday's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button premiere everyone looked really good and even the "Bads" were pretty awesome? Well, as we know, everything in Australia is the opposite of here (well, at least seasons and the way toilets drain), and so it was with last night's Button premiere at the Sydney Theatre. Everyone looked strange, even the "Goods" were pretty lousy, and (an undoubtedly massively jet-lagged) Cate Blanchett? Shocking! The Kinda Good, the Really Bad... after this Antipodean jump. More » -

The Curious Case Of The Awesome Benjamin Button Premiere
As everybody knows, the Brad Pitt flick The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is based on an F. Scott Fitzgerald story in which a guy is born in his 80s and ages backwards to a baby. The premiere, in Westwood, was excellently star-studded: Brad and Angie, natch, costar Cate Blanchett, but also Jennifer Lopez, our girl Tilda Swinton, Eva Longoria, well-dressed young person Emma Roberts, and a cast of thousands. While the goods were good and even the bads had a lot going for them, a few ensembles — notably J.Lo and Cate — defy easy categorization. A curious case, after the jump! More » -

Jennifer Aniston Likes John Mayer's

The Hand-On-Hip Pose: An Anthropological Study
The other day I noticed that I can no longer pose for a picture without putting my hand on my hip. I blame this on the unending stream of events photos I look at as part of my job. I was staring at this picture of Rashida Jones today when it dawned on me: this pose is ridiculous. It's supposed to make you look thinner, but really it makes everyone look like a little teapot! Then I started wondering when this pose became so pervasive. Luckily, the official Oscar website has an archive of red carpet photos from the past five years. By perusing it, I have discovered precisely when our world's mega-stars insisted on posing with their hands firmly placed on their hips, bony elbows jutting out at 45 degree angles. Photographic evidence, after the jump. More » -

Gowns Both Fabulous &
The glitzy madness that is the Cannes Film Festival is in full swing! Yesterday, at the premiere of Blindness, which stars Julianne Moore, Cate Blanchett was the one who stole the show. She was luminous and resplendent in ruffles! (Ms. Moore was weighed down by black feathers.) Who else was basking in the glare of photographers' flashes? Natalie Portman, Faye Dunaway, Devon Aoki, Mischa Barton, Gillian Anderson and many more. See who wore Good, who wore Bad and who wore Ugly, after the jump. More »FowlFoul At The Blindness Premiere -

Telling A Child She's Beautiful Could Be Sending The Wrong Message
In today's Times of London, fashion editor Lisa Armstrong dissects what she deems our egregiously-lookist society. "Increasingly, looks are used to define women who never set out to compete by those rules," Armstrong points out. "The entire female flank of the French Cabinet has recently had their wardrobes pored over as if they were auditioning to fill in for Cate Blanchett on the red carpet while she takes a spot of maternity leave." Armstrong also quotes Fay Weldon, writer and insane-o, who, for once, makes a good point. "Nowadays, all little girls are told that they're beautiful by their mothers, even when they're not," Weldon says. "We're terribly conflicted. We don't want appearance to be important, but almost everything we do reinforces that they are." More » -

"Fishy" Is Fabulous: Oscar Fashion 2008
Thank God for Oscar fashion because the awards themselves dragged... on... forever. And on last night's red carpet? Lots of, well, red. Heidi Klum, Miley Cyrus, Katherine Heigl, Anne Hathaway, Ruby Dee, and Helen Mirren were just some of the women who matched their gowns to the carpet they were posing on. But the absolute best looks were seen on the women who opted for something a little less traditional: Like Marion Cotillard's fish-scale mermaid gown by Jean-Paul Gaultier. Cotillard looked radiant, palpitating with natural beauty and joie de vivre. Also gorgeous? Cate Blanchett, pregnant in purple Dries Van Noten, and Amy Adams, sultry in deep green Proenza Schouler. Those who swung and missed? Diablo Cody, Cameron Diaz and Renee Zellweger. And Lord have mercy on Sarah "I'm Dating George Clooney" Lawson: Her ugly-ass table-cloth dress was the worst of the worst in my book. You can take the girl out of Fear Factor, but you can't take the Fear Factor out of the girl. Photo galleries of the Good, Bad, and Ugly of Oscar style, after the jump.

Independent Spirit Awards Attendees Stuck To B&W
The Independent Spirit Awards are sort like the alt-prom to the Oscars: The so-called "indie" crowd — plus mainstream celebs posing as hipsters for the evening — turn out to honor work that is supposedly not part of the Hollywood machine. As an added punch, ELLE sponsored the event, and I wonder: did the magazine also issue a dress code of mostly black and white? Even my beloved Cate Blanchett, left, seemed in less than top form: Her black and brown combo seems comfy enough, given she is pregnant, but her shoes made my heart scream, "Noooooooooooo." The full Good, Bad, and Ugly of the Independent Spirit Awards, after the jump. More » -

Bai Ling, the actress best known for her sartorial stumbles, has been arrested at LAX for shoplifting a pack of batteries and two tabloids. The best part of TMZ's coverage is when they say that she was placed under "citizen's arrest" by a shop clerk before getting booked by airport police. • New Indiana Jones trailer is up! Cate Blanchett looks fierce, but otherwise...meh. • During Keith Urban's Madison Square Garden concert in New York last night, he dedicated a song to preggers wife Nicole Kidman, who was in Australia during the concert, where it was already February 14. Bitch is knocked up and you're not there to fetch her ice cream! The least Urban can do is give her a shout out. [TMZ, Dlisted, People] -

Best Actress Oscar Nominees Aren't All Victims
This year's female acting Oscar nominees are a strange bunch of characters — and no, we don't mean the narcissistic actresses themselves. While the Supporting Actress field is rife with Hollywood's version of the female victim, the Best Actress category has some complicated characters that have too damn much going on emotionally for us to be able to tell decide if they were victims (or hookers, or doormats) or not! After all, tragedy doesn't equate victimhood and playing tough doesn't necessarily make one a hero. After the jump, we break down the characters — and ask you to tell us who's a victim, who's a hooker, who's a doormat, and who's on the fence. (Hint: We consult our Magic 8-Ball.) More » -

Oscar Noms 2008: Women Can Write, Not Direct
The Oscar ceremony may not happen this year, but the nominations themselves, just announced, prove that women are making inroads as writers. In addition to actress noms for Cate Blanchett (for both I'm Not There and Elizabeth: The Golden Age) and Julie Christie, Marion Cotillard, Laura Linney, and Ellen Page, the Best Original Screenplay category was female-dominated, with 4 out of the 5 nominated films boasting women writers (an additional writing nod was given to Sarah Polley for Best Adapted Screenplay for I'm Not There). Interestingly (and not surprisingly), not a single Best Director nomination went to a woman; are women just not being given the opportunity to direct by the Hollywood establishment? Or are their efforts just not being recognized? Contemplate this while checking out the full list of nominees, after the jump.

Golden Globes 2008: They Pick The Winners, We Pick The Fashions
Last night's Golden Globe Awards garnered some minor surprises (Julie Christie for best actress, drama; Julian Schnabel for director); some major snoozes (the exceedingly-painful televised press conference made us want to do all sort of tortuous things to Billy Bush, especially when he called Cate Blanchett not such a great actress); and some boring fashion (see above). To amuse ourselves (and, as promised on Friday), we took the female Globes winners and outfitted them in the fashions we think they should have worn, had the show gone on as usual. The winners and their pretend awards-wear, after the jump. More »
