That's exactly what used to happen to me: I would take a couple of pills and I would be up an hour later and I'd want more. Then I'd take more and that would be enough to maybe get me back to sleep for two more hours. Then I'd be wide awake again. So I definitely can relate, and it's a shame if he didn't have anybody there to just say, 'Michael, you're an addict, you need help.' It's one of the pitfalls of fame.

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.

[Images via Getty]

I like that the detailing on Anna Kendrick's dress can double as a deterrent to close-talkers.


Here's the thing: doesn't Dana E. Glauberman's dress defeat any and all purposes of having sleeves? But to each her own.


Do you think director Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker) deliberately matched the fall of her necklace to the slit in her skirt? Or is it serendipitous?


Tippi Hedren looks Melanie Daniels pulled-together. (Pre-birds, I mean.)


Diane Kruger can wear flats and a jumpsuit. This is the sort of thing a fairy gifts you with in the cradle.


Zoe Saldana's really running with the whole futuristic thing. In this case, futuristic bombshell!


Susan MacLeod is a special effects supervisor. Which is maybe how she supervised the theft of this Klimt.


Nikki Reed needs the jacket to tone down the blinding brilliance of her frock. It's like looking at the sun.


Her bracelet strikes me as confusing, but given that Zooey Deschanel I'm going to go ahead and assume it's actually adorable.


Well. It wouldn't be a Hollywood event without Kat Kramer propping up the red carpet. And by "wouldn't" I mean, "would."

[Images via Getty]

Let's get one thing clear: I do not accept Katie Holmes as a fashion icon; she has not earned it, IMO (which counts for exactly nothing, but still). And yet: this is pretty fab.


Emily Blunt, on the other hand, has shown chic and confidence and a distinctive style from the get-go. And yes, I'm psyched about The Young Victoria.


Speaking of signature looks: Renee's sticking with the classics that won her that "best-dressed-list" inclusion.


And while the furbelowed trousers may confuse me a bit, no one does suits better than Robin Wright (Penn?).


Willa Holland's super-flattering LBD is one of the night's prettiest.


Unlike Sofia Vassilieva, I rarely feel that leather trim adds that hard-edged je ne sais quoi.


Kind of digging Jenna Elfman's consistent commitment to flapper-maternity.


Miranda Cosgrove's take is more questionable, although she pulls it off by a hair. (Not the Chris March kind.)


Not digging? Julianne Moore's bizarre earth-mother sack. Although it's very...nurturing.


Speaking of "not the most flattering thing she's ever worn," I give you... Diane Kruger.


It's hard to know how to feel about Kat Dennings' trench-dress, because her 10-ton shoes draw all attention, gravity.


Why so modest, Zoe Saldana? You look gorgeous!


It's nice to see Dianna Agron out of a cheerleader's uniform. Not, specifically, in these shoes.


Obviously, everyone's a winner. But if we had to have a least-favorite? Might be Cat Deeley's 90's nostalgia.
shoes.


What more could we ask? Answer: nothing. Maybe an umbrella.

Katie Holmes, Emily Blunt, Julianne Moore, Renee Zellweger and Zoe Saldana all look amazing — although poor Emily is… obstructed in her pretty shot. But instead of famous-for-being-famous ladies like the Kardashians, these are women who are using their talents: Katie just finished shooting The Extra Man and Don't Be Afraid Of the Dark; Emily is filming The Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon and just wrapped Gulliver's Travels — plus she's in The Wolfman; Julianne has four films coming out in 2010; Renée has a flick called Case 39 coming later this year and two more in production (including the Bridget Jones sequel; Zoe Saldana has six movies scheduled for 2009/2010.

While it's great that Elle picked some stunning, impressive ladies to feature, why do all of these women have to share the month of November? Couldn't each have had a month of their own? Because if Elle has, as the saying goes, blown their load, then next month we might get stuck with Jessica Simpson wearing plaid. Again. As in, for the third time.

Beyoncé is clearly embracing the full-on 80s ethos of the moment. Dig it.


Estelle channels the Gloved One with her usual panache.


Taraji P. Henson continues her reign as the ultimate fashion chameleon. And works every single guise!


Alicia Keys' Indian-inflected sea green is pretty, period.


Tyra Banks does Fauntleroy-meets-musketeer-meets, we suppose, fierce. Which long since ceased to be a euconium.


The five-year-old in me covets Omarosa's sugar plum fairy getup. That five-year-old also drank the creamer in McDonald's straight, so.


Chaka Khan begins - and, okay, probably ends - a trend for fans.


Zoe Saldana's sleek white is Enterprise-control-panel efficient. No idea what that means.


Niecy Nash never shies away from the limelight: hence the Midas-chic.


Cassie is but one of the proponents of nightmarish post-apocalyptic chic.


Letoya Luckett combines Mad Max and 80's - so on trend!


Robi Reed-Humes takes the DIY vogue a bit too far, no?


Okay, Kanye, we get it: you're just here as a favor to Amber Rose. Can't you even pretend to have fun?

The Good: Marion Cotillard's Poiret-esque confection may be one of the year's loveliest!


The Good: Zoe Saldana's draped ecru is Uhura-worthy, and compliments don't get higher than that.


The Good: Dita Von Teese's frock is not only delightfully cheeky, but also reminiscent of the "No Two People Have Ever Been So In Love" number from Hans Christian Anderson.


The Good: Say what one will about Peaches Geldof, she can afford some really gorgeous gowns.


The Good: Really, can you - and more to the point, Claudia Schiffer - go wrong with New Look?

[Los Angeles, April 23. Image via Getty]

The Good:

Felicity Huffman keeps it simple and showcases toned shoulders.

Gabrielle Union's little summer dress is pretty cute. She should take her hands out of her pockets, though.

Love the color and drape of Joy Bryant's dress. Beachy keen!

Love the color of Becki Newton's dress, too! Just one piece can look so chic.

Sanaa Lathan, golden girl. She looks so great in this dress I'm willing to forgive the borderline shoes.

Rachel Bilson's jacket and skirt seem sophisticated, but I'm torn on the shoes. They're sort of cool and new and different and they're sort of horrifying. I like the rest so much I'm erring on the side of Good.

The Bad:

Maria Cross: Meh. The shoes are too heavy, in my opinion. A thin-strap sandal for a more bare look might be better.

Yeah, I don't know, Mena Suvari. Part of me likes the Pat Benatar thing she's got going, the other part of me winces, because how long can we do '80s?

Amy Smart is a lovely lady, but this dress is bad. The neckline is bad, the belt is bad and I think the fabric is bad.

Is Elizabeth Banks wearing a wardrobe castoff from Sophia Coppola's Virgin Suicides?

Zoe Saldana's hemline is a gynecologist's dream.

Nicky Hiton looks awkward, like an overgrown baby doll.

I think Lost alum Maggie Grace looks pretty but the satin shorts are killing me. They're super cute if you're playing the role of Miss Adelaide is Guys And Dolls, but otherwise, no.

I like Kelly Rutherford's blouse. I like Kelly Rutherford's skirt. I love Kelly Rutherford's shoes. I do not like them all together. Maybe if the blouse wasn't quite so buttoned up and the skirt were longer? I don't know.

The Ugly:

Sophia Bush is gorgeous; this weird zippered apron dress and chunky brown shoes are not.

Oh, Whitney Port. So many trends, so little time.
