This awards season has been all about The Help, but for the cast it's been all about, well, their boobs. First Viola Davis wowed us with her impressive display of cleavage at the NAACP Image Awards, then discussed how it was all a delightful accident, and now Octavia Spencer is getting in on the action. While most celebs head to In-N-Out to celebrate after the Oscars, Spencer, who is up for Best Supporting Actress, says she plans to treat herself to a boob lift once everything is wrapped up. "I am going to get my boobs lifted. That's going to be my first gift. I figured going into my forties I want my boobs where they were when I was 17," said the 41-year-old. "Right after the Oscars I start a Diablo Cody movie. We're taping out of the country for four months so I wouldn't be back here until about August. I would want to do this around November. Then that way I could just relax until January." [US]
You know when your baby brother or sister – who is now in their early-to-mid twenties but you still refer to them as your baby brother and sister because that's how they'll forever be etched in your mind – says something that indicates that they've had real-life actual sex and your brain breaks? That's kind of what happens when I see Zac Efron, 24, accidentally drop a condom on the red carpet at The Lorax premiere. Babies having babies! Or not, as the case may be. [ONTD]
They've both been getting a lot of play in the media recently, albeit for different reasons, but Adele is officially more popular than Whitney Houston – at least when it comes to the longest running number one album by a female artist on the Billboard charts. Though Whitney previously held the title with "The Bodyguard" album, Adele's "21" has just surpassed it by reaching 21 consecutive weeks at the top, which is pretty phenomenal because Whit held on to the 20-week record for 20 years.

It turns out that Bobby Brown didn't only skip out on Whitney's funeral only because his entourage was banned, it was also over his displeasure with a perfectly reasonable seating disagreement. Classy. [E!]

Academy Award organizers are so nervous about the guaranteed carry-on that would come of him turning up as his character from The Dictator that they've banned Sacha Baron Cohen from attending altogether – unless, that is, he promises to be a good boy. "We've made our position clear to Mr. Cohen's team. We'd love to have him at the show, but the ball is in his court," says a rep. "The position we took was, 'We would not like you to do this.' We're just waiting to hear back from him. We'd love to have him at the show, to have him celebrate with the rest of the Hugo team, and we're just waiting." [E!]
Attending a preview of Cindy Sherman's MoMA retrospective would be exciting enough, but guests were also treated to an impromptu floorshow when an attendee slapped her male companion across face following a discussion about sexism and misogyny. "I can't believe you think you have to have lived in the photograph to understand it!" she said as she gave him a quick one-two in front of guests including Debbie Harry, John Waters, Molly Ringwald and Martha Stewart. Street theatre at its best. [Page Six]
