The many stars at Regal Cinemas in LA - Thandie Newton, Camilla Belle, Amanda Peet - had, well, interesting ideas about what to wear when the world ends.



Thandie Newton, obviously, looks stunning. That said, early-90's tough florals and bows? Not so sure.


As one frequently heralded as a fashion comer, Camilla Belle has to periodically take sartorial risks. I'd say this one pays off.


Erin Axtell is clearly taking part in the current sequin-mania, which everyone is pretending is kind of 80's retro, but you know they secretly love it.


Jodi Lyn O'Keefe's gently Grecian pink is one of the most unadorned on the RC.


Lauren Graham wears L.A. casual/the fixed expression of one who's about to have to lie about how much she liked a movie.


This peek-a-boo trend, as modeled by Crystle Stewart, may never end.


Candis Cayne: the gypsy that remains.


Amanda Peet looks amazing, and there was an item in Page 6 about her a couple of days ago: seems her assistant entered Peet's house to find a burglar rummaging through the jewelry. The burglar said, "What's up, bitch? I live here." Then he ran out with the jewelry box.


Speaking of audacity! Morgan Lily has made my day! She's like a miniature steel
magnolia!


Estella Warren does pre-fab Euro-eccentric!


Hey, if Dania Ramirez is willing to sit through a two-hour movie in a dress this tight, she's earned the right to do whatever she wants.


Beatrice Rosen sports that modern classic, the angry cat.


As Vail Bloom and everyone knows, "leather" and "bustier" go together like bacon and eggs - or the really bad-tasting equivalent thereof.


Shannyn Sossamon will not let the one-piece go. Well, she can work it. Even one that looks kind of like high-fashion scrubs.

<![CDATA[Jazz Hands! At Tonys 2009!]]> The 63rd Annual Tony Awards, held at Radio City Music Hall last night, were awesome.

The Good: Anne Hathaway looks so glamorous and comfortable and rad that we kinda wonder what she'd do with Gypsy Rose Lee...


The Good: Jane Fonda has mastered glam elegance.


The Good: Loving Jessica Lange's nod to Edith Beale's salad days.


The Good: Headline: ANGELA LANSBURY CHANNELS VICTOR/VICTORIA. Theatre majors swoon.


The Good: So, now that Edie Falco's doing some serious un-glam, it's time to amp it up for the red carpet! Albeit in gently boho fashion.


The Good: Hope Davis' dramatic decollete is one of the evening's best looks. In the metaphysical as well as sartorial sense.


The Dolly: Death, Taxes, Dolly.


The Good: Lauren Graham is one of the awesome emerald brigade of the evening.


The Good: Chandra Wilson is another...


The Good:...Josefina Scaglione makes three!


The Good: Martha Plimpton is Camelot-classy. Seriously, this is vintage-fab.


The Good: Allison Janney brings straight-up Tony no-risk glamour, but there's something to be said for that.


The Good: Julie Chen brings it for all the little girls/Barbie dolls out there.


The Good: Wow! Piper Perabo thrusts herself into our sartorial consciousness!


What Say You? Okay, truth to power: I love Karen Olivo's burlesquey exercise in immoderation, but eager to hear from you!


What Say You? when it comes to Samantha Mathis' little black distressed?


Phyllis Newman is obviously getting some kind of honorary doctorate. What Say You?


The Ugly: The Naked Cowboy Brett Michaels.

No one wanted me to be gone for a year and be unavailable for movies and stuff. They're right. It's a chunk of time. But I have learned from other times, mostly in terms of travel, when I said 'Oh, I'll do it next time.' There were many trips that I had a chance to take, and I'd say 'there's too much going on right now; I'm not going to do it' — and then I've never done it. Guys and Dolls felt like one of those things. In order to survive I will need to have a steady job again, like a television show, and so I don't know when this time will come again. But I fell in love with the play and I fell in love with the part. I thought it was a risk worth taking." — Lauren Graham, of Gilmore Girls, on her new stint as Adelaide in Guys and Dolls on Broadway. [WSJ]
