It had Kim Kardashian. It had January Jones and Gabrielle Union and Olivia Wilde and Zoe Saldana. And yes, it was surreal:



But, man, can January Jones work a red carpet. Love the hit of 60s polish with totally modern styling.


Jennifer Carpenter. Strapless. What more is there to say?


Jamie-Lynn Sigler. Strapless. But this time we can say, "booties."


And when it comes to Shenae Grimes? "Necklace."
Maggie Grace's dainty little retro number has a decided "Anthropologie" vibe. Not that there's anything wrong with that.


When I did a scroll-up of Amanda Seyfried my thoughts went something like, "cute, shorts! Stevie Nicks' Belladonna! Pumpkin muffin!" (That just happened to be in my head though.)


Gabrielle Union is basically saying, no, this is how you do LBD!


Someone had to fill the disco-ball-mini quota, and Danielle Panabaker took one for the team.


Can't take my eyes off the arrows on Zoe Saldana's frock. "Spleen here!"


Olivia Wilde often fails the beatific palette. Digging with the sharp futuristic-trophy-wife angles!


All I can say is, having attempted to drape a toga, Emma Stone's isn't too bad! It's hard!


Rose McGowan: sweet, simple and pretty.


See, this front-gather trend is one that will never make it to reality - at least that portion of it with breasts. But what say you about Jamie King's red carpet iteration?


Like Alice Eve, I enjoy convent-ready eveningwear.


Jessica Stroup refuses to choose between statement pieces: she shall have the gold short-shorts and the mesh booties!


Trench dresses always scream "flasher." But as Marley Shelton shows, cute flasher!


AnnaLynne McCord's skirt is almost invisible to the naked eye.


It's always fun when Kim Kardashian just does classic bombshell. Yes, "fun."


And...the man of the hour. Some stylist obviously crammed this saffron square into his pocket, and this stylist is obviously a Palin supporter.

<![CDATA[Teen Dreams — And Nightmares — At Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party]]> The 7th annual Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party, held in L.A. on Friday, saw stars like Kelly Osbourne, Ashley Tisdale and 90210's AnnaLynn McCord sporting ensembles good, bad, and, yes, incredibly ugly.



Aly Michalka was in a band with her sister AJ, creatively called Aly & AJ. She made a valiant effort to toughen up a sweet, floral frock with a studded belt, but the result? Meh.


Due to my sordid past at a teen magazine, I have interviewed iCarly's Miranda Cosgrove — who was also in School Of Rock — and found her absolutely charming. Much like this bow-tiful dress.


Andrea Bowen — Julie on Desperate Housewives — made her Broadway debut in 1996 as Young Cosette in Les Misérables. Unfortunately, her faux-bandage dress with shiny purple shoes should really go to the guillotine.


Friends, this is Amy Astley, editor in chief of Teen Vogue. Surely she has heard the phrase "wear the trend; don't let the trend wear you." And yet.


The Buff Werewolf wears his tuxedo with just the right amount of insouciance. Wait a minute: Is it denim?


We see London, we see France, we see Ashley Tisdale's sexyface. And bra.


Willa Holland was Kaitlin Cooper on The O.C. and Agnes on Gossip Girl. She's experienced in LBD selection, and in choosing this classy number, it shows.


Katie Cassidy has been on Supernatural and Melrose Place. Her dad is '70s pop idol David Cassidy. While the colors — and the fingernails — are fun; she seems to have forgotten her shirt.


My unapologetic love for Kelly Osbourne grows stronger everyday. This little black dress with embellished sleeves looks great.


Seventeen-year-old Selena Gomez plays it safe… in an ensemble that seems like it's for someone twice her age.


Hey, Haley Bennett! You were great as Cora in that mediocre Drew Barrymore/Hugh Grant flick Music And Lyrics, which is one of my guilty pleasures. But I'm not a fan of your long-ass sweater. Sorry!


Raven-Symoné's black nails and black top are okay, but are her black leggings starting to disintegrate? I think I see skin.


Chelsea Staub was was in the Bratz movie, but that can be forgiven, since this polka-dot dress is adorable.


Hayley Hasselhoff's headpiece is a little kooky, but she's 17 and her dad keeps passing out at home so let's give her a pass.


Not only did Sofia Vassilieva play the leading role in My Sister's Keeper alongside Cameron Diaz, she was Eloise in two made-for-TV movies. Her smile — and her little silver dress — are awesome.


90210 2.0's AnnaLynne McCord attempts sleek retro-chic; succeeds.


In a sea of black and grey, Victoria Justice stands out in a shimmery red sheath. Kudos.


90210 2.0 star Jessica Stroup's square-looking midsection is just one of the reasons jumpsuits should fade away.


Danielle Panabaker's dress is business in front…


…Party in the back!


I've been going back and forth on this dress worn by 90210 2.o's Jessica Lowndes. Flirty and fun? Or too prom-y?

<![CDATA[Allison Janney Taps Into That Other Hollywood Stereotype: The Shrew]]> Sure, there are enough hooker, victim, and doormat roles around Hollywood to keep Lindsay Lohan in Louboutins, but those aren't the only stereotypical female characters swimming in the brains of underpaid screenwriters. There's another cliché almost every actress over 30 has played: The Shrew. So, in honor of the revival of Kristen Johnston's career (and the popularity of shrews in the newest announcements of castings) we are declaring "Shrew" a new category to our Hookers, Doormats, & Victims feature! After the jump: Allison Janney and Kristen Johnston square-off to see who's baddest bitch in new comedies; Sigourney Weaver teams up with James Cameron again; and a remake of Friday the 13th promises to hack all of the popular girls to pieces.



Kristen Johnston, Bride Wars: Johnston will play a self-absorbed, opportunist friend of Ann Hathaway's character. The film revolves around the shenanigans that occur when two BFFs (Hathaway and Kate Hudson) have their weddings on the same day and at the same place. Verdict: Ah, the annoying friend character, almost always a Shrew.

Allison Janney, This Must Be The Place and A Thousand Words: In This Must Be The Place, Janney will play a loud and brassy woman who has "a few screws loose." In A Thousand Words, she will play Eddie Murphy's money-grubbing literary agent. Verdict: Wow! Two Shrews in two separate movies! Now that Janney is getting "old" by Hollywood standards she'll probably see a lot more abrasive female characters coming her way.

Danielle Panabaker, Friday the 13th: Panabaker (who plays James Woods' daughter in Shark) will co-star in this remake of the horror classic. She will be playing an "adventurous, athletic type" who is dating a rich boy. Verdict: A young girl in a Hollywood horror movie? She is definitely a Victim.

Uma Thurman, Motherhood: Thurman will star as a mother of two who faces "a myriad of urban challenges" as she tries to plan her daughter's sixth birthday party. Not sure if this is supposed to be a comedy or a drama. Verdict: While the details are skimpy, a "harried mother" role is usually an emotional Victim of some kind. But we will wait until the movie comes out to impose a real verdict.

Jessica Chastain, Tree of Life: Chastain has been cast to play Brad Pitt's wife in the upcoming Terrence Malick flick about the loss of innocence, as seen by the son of Pitt and Chastain's characters as different individuals race to find the mythical "tree of life." Verdict: There isn't much information about the characters in the film so we will hold off on judgment for now.

Sigourney Weaver, Avatar: Weaver will play a character in a new James Cameron film that was originally supposed to be a man. The plot is about a band of humans colonizing and warring with a distant planet's indigenous population. Weaver describes the character as being "driven, idealistic, perfectionist, but with great heart underneath" and a "great woman character."Verdict: While our intuition tells us that "driven" female characters in Hollywood are almost always portrayed as evil, we will trust ex-Yalie Weaver on this one.

<![CDATA[Lifetime Movie Premiere Brings Out The Worst In Some Stars]]> The Lifetime movie The Memory Keeper's Daughter is based on the novel of the same name, which I never read but my friend did. Here's the premise: A doctor's wife has twins, one of whom has Down's Syndrome. The physician decides to send one of the babies away. A nurse discovers his plan and intervenes, "putting into motion events that will haunt the doc, his wife and his son for the next 20 years." The TV movie stars yummy, sexy, chiseled Dermot Mulroney, (pictured with co-star Krystal Nausbaum) as well as Gretchen Mol and Emily Watson; the red-carpet premiere, however, was decidedly B-List. Kelly Preston, Sharon Lawrence and some other folks, all in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, after the jump.







The Good:
jackiezeman040809.jpgWikipedia tells me that Jackie Zeman has been playing RN Barbara Jean "Bobbie" Spencer on General Hospital since 1977. Homegirl looks great. Love the color, the shoes, the necklace, everything. Go Nurse Spencer!

sharonlawrence040908.jpgSharon Lawrence looks classy. Sometimes it's nice to see wide-legged trousers.

panabaker040908.jpgSome of you probably think actress Danielle Panabaker shouldn't be wearing a silver knit mini-dress, but I think she looks cute so I'll allow it.

vitaminC040908.jpgOMG you guys, Vitamin C! I totally interviewed her back in the day. Remember, she had a minor hit called "Smile"? Plus that graduation song. No idea why she is here or what she's been up to, but it's good to see her.

The Bad:

ashleybenson040908.jpgAshley Benson played Abby Deveraux on Days Of Our Lives. While I like her dress in theory, it seems a smidge too tight at the bottom, like it's in danger of busting open, which would be bad.

The Ugly:

kellypreston040908.jpgDear Kelly Preston: It appears that you're wearing a really gorgeous, light and frothy gray jersey dress which ought to skim the body and be sort of ethereal. And it seems as though you've weighed said dress down with heavy black tights and clunky shoes with a wooden sole. Why would you do such a thing? This dress deserves some silvery sandals and bare legs, and we both know it. I can't even look at you right now. Sincerely, Me.

Memory Keeper's Daughter [Lifetime]

<![CDATA[Cindy Crawford Rules The (Stuart) House Of Style]]> Last night, nice guy fashion designer John Varvatos and Converse teamed up to put on a shopping fundraiser for Los Angeles' Stuart House, a branch of UCLA's Rape Treatment Center. And Cindy Crawford and her family came! Seriously, does this woman age? Also: could she and her kids look any more adorable? Alas, compared to the Crawford-Gerber clan, the other attendees' style was sorely lacking: Joely Fisher and Phoebe Price looked awful and Julie Moran committed the cardinal sin of dressing her children in matching outfits. The full Good, Bad and Ugly, after the jump.





The Good:
cindycrawford.jpgCindy, Rande, Presley and Kaia: Disgustingly perfect (looking) family.
elisabethrohm.jpgWhen is Elisabeth Rohm going to pop that baby out already?
johnvarvatos.jpgAw, John and Joyce Varvatos don't look like a fashion designer and his wife, they look like they could belong to my shul.


The Bad:
angieharmon.jpgAngie Harmon is lost in this nude column of a shift.
melinakarakedes.jpgYou know how Cindy Crawford looks dressed up even though she's in jeans? Melina Kanakaredes doesn't.
juliemoran.jpgWelcome, Julie Moran, to my shit list: Do not dress your daughters in matching outfits.
daniellepanabaker.jpgDanielle Panabaker: 21 going on 41 in a "casual separates" combo like this.
heatherthomas.jpgDear Heather Thomas: You scare me.


The Ugly:
joelyfisher.jpgJoely Fisher ought be charged with crimes against womanity for this outfit.
phoebeprice.jpgPhoebe Price came dressed as an extra from Plan 9 From Outer Space.
