GLAAD Media Awards Attendees: Glad To Be There, Looking Good

Jennifer — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 10:30:00 EDT

Saturday night in Los Angeles, GLAAD honored those in the media who are, um, gay or friends to the gay. Most importantly, however, some way cool peeps turned up to represent. Yes, it goes without saying that the adorable Ellen DeGeneres, left, and her hot stuff girlfriend Portia DeRossi were there, but so were TV stars Becki Newton, Candis Cayne, Billy Baldwin, Sally Field, Sarah Silverman and Sharon Lawrence, reality TV stars Rami Kashou, (Mr.) Jay Manuel, Jackie Warner, Kathy Griffin, and random awesome stars Cindy Crawford, Rufus Wainwright, and Janet Jackson. Yay! After the jump, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of the GLAAD Media Awards.

The Good:
Becki Newton is wearing a beautiful dress in one of my favorite colors, bright yellow. So why the scowl?

Ah, if only Candis Cayne and Billy Baldwin were an actual couple. How glam they look a deux. [It's soooo hard to believe Candis was born a man! — Dodai]

Memo to Cindy Crawford: Always wear red. And accessorize with Rande Gerber.

Ellen DeGeneres: The Charlie Chaplin of our age?

Portia DeRossi borrows a page from Ellen's handbook and rocks the white pants.

Oh, Jackie Warner. Why must you always look so fierce? (And be such a bitch on Work Out?)

It's going to be hard for Jennifer Beals to do the bit with the chair in a ladylike evening gown like this.

Kathy Griffin looks good. She's also looking less and less like Kathy Griffin.

Dear Rufus Wainwright and Jorn Westfeldt: Please give me the clothes off your back. And sing Judy Garland songs for me.

Yeah, Sofia Veragara is going to need to strip down and give me her dress too. It's so effortless but luxe.

Catch your balance, Sally Field — you look lovely!

The Bad:
Miss Jackson If You're Nasty: Is that a jumpsuit I spy?

Jay Manuel, conquistador.

I'm sorry: Rami Kashou should have worn something draped.

The Ugly:

Love the dress, but loathe the shoes, Sarah Silverman.

So many bad ideas in one little outfit on one little Sharon Lawrence. Sigh.

Lifetime Movie Premiere Brings Out The Worst In Some Stars

Dodai — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 10:30:00 EDT

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:
Wikipedia 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!

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

Some 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.

OMG 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:

Ashley 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:

Dear 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.

Cruddy Fashion At Dirt Premiere

Jennifer — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:30:00 EST

At the premiere for the second season of the FX show Dirt, the stars who portray evil doers from the world of tabloid journalism made some rotten fashion choices. Series lead Courteney Cox looked off. (Her husband David Arquette, left, sported his signature goofball look.) Courteney's co-stars were not dressed any better. And David Spade looked like a redneck pedophile. The good (thanks, Helen Hunt), the bad and the ugly at the premiere of Dirt, after the jump.

The Good:
God bless Helen Hunt: She still looks beautiful.

Nom nom Ryan Eggold.

The Bad:
Courteney Cox looks a little trashy. The cut of her pants and top create a really strange silhouette on her body.

As Tim Gunn would say, the colors are muddy in Ashley Johnson's ensemble. As Michael Kors would say, she looks too old lady. And as Nina Garcia would say... Nina wouldn't speak: She would just make a judgmental face.

I want to like Shannon Woodward's playful dress, but something just ain't right.

David Spade: "Hey little girl, want some candy?"

Thou shalt not wear a copper muumuu, Sharon Lawrence.

The Ugly:
Alexandra Breckenridge looks ghastly in garish green.
