And Of Course, The Worst Dressed of the 2012 SAG Awards: Busy Phillips Takes It

photo of busy phillips pictures photos pics screen actors guild awards pics Bad. Bad, bad, bad. What's bad? This dress is bad. Horrible-bad. The only thing that might be worse (wait ... let me consider that ... no, not worse) is the fact that I had to open up a new Google browser and type in 'Who the hell is Busy Phillips', because other than finding out from our photo agency that she's "friend of Michelle Williams," I couldn't place this chick to save my life. According to Wiki: Elizabeth Jean Philipps (born June 25, 1979), known professionally as Busy Philipps, is ...

The Best Dressed of the 2012 SAG Awards: Lea Michele Wins!

photo of lea michele and 2012 screen actors guild awards best dressed pictures You guys know - you guys know - how much Lea Michelle generally unnerves me and doesn't do a whole lot that I think is talk-worthy or even think-worthy, but when push comes to shove and it's time to give credit where credit is due, I have to begrudgingly admit that Lea Michele was, by far, the best dressed at the 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards. Best. The dress is a perfect cut for her, the shoes are totally enviable (if they just ... fit her a little bit better), and the hair is the ultimate compliment to ...

2012 SAG Awards: The Nominees and Winners! (Spoiler: The Help Won Everything)

Here's another award ceremony that you've all been waiting for! Don't you just love this time of year - that special time when you get to completely snark out on what stars are wearing (because really, it's a damned awards show and not a walk on Sunset Boulevard) and watch them fawn all over one another and kiss each other's ass? It's almost magical, friends. Don't forget to watch the above clip - it's chock-full of a lot of special SAG moments, including the Scorsese drinking game, the Help speeches, and a special appearance by Betty White, that old cad. Here's the complete list of both nominatio...

Daniel Radcliffe Doesn’t Need An Oscar

A photo of Daniel Radcliffe Back in November, there was this beautiful rumor that Harry Potter could finally win an Oscar, specifically the Oscar for Best Picture. There were a handful of reasons for this - more ratings, the last Lord of the Rings movie won Best Picture when it came out - but the idea was the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 had a pretty solid chance of at least receiving a nomination, and a well-deserved nomination at that. But, as you know, the nominations for the 2012 Academy Awards ...

Nickelback Strikes Back on Twitter

Photo: Nickelback in 2011, just in time for 'Here and Now' Uh, OK. So, Nickelback. No, I know. Me, too. Like, everyone, all of us. We all do. There's no point in discussing it, even. You just sigh, change the dial for about three minutes, and then you dial back again. See? Like, you barely even have to actively hate the music. The band is just kind of everywhere, ubiquitous and permanent, like a type of tree. It's just this thing you step around. Nickelback is a pretty popular punching bag. In 2005, NPR's All Things Considered did this tota...

Um, Wow: How They Added “Sex Sounds” to ‘Shame’

Photo: Michael Fassbender stars in 'Shame' I'm still reeling from the Oscar nominations; among others, there is the distinct exclusion of Michael Fassbender. Maybe Shame isn't the Academy's style---it's a relentless sex nightmare about one man's existential emptiness---but word on the street is, Fassbender deserved a mention for his revelatory, uh, performance. (And, well, you know, people did mention other things about Fassbender, but I still haven't seen Shame; I am having trouble weighing how much I won't enjoy the movie against ho...

Cop Beet: Nick Stahl Was Arrested

Photo: Nick Stahl arrested, via a TMZ exclusive! So, uh, here's a weird one. Let me preface by saying I love Nick Stahl. Oh my God, do I loooo-oooove Nick Stahl. He replaced Eddie Furlong as John Connor in Terminator 3, and he is totally terrifying in Sin City. (My mom might remember him, in the meantime, from the maudlin Mel Gibson tearjerker Man Without a Face. She loves that movie.) So Nick Stahl is pretty cool, but he also made Mirrors 2, which is a polite way of saying, um, maybe he's a little short on dough. TMZ: Nick Sta...

Rumor Mill: A Spice Girls Reunion!

Photo: Spice Girls reunion!! Okay, you guys. I have a little hypothetical question, here. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY, okay, if I were to tell you, okay, that---rumor has it---a certain five-piece girl group is maybe planning to reunite?!?!?! Would you scream? Would you cheer? Would you start tearing through your apartment, looking for that glittery Union Jack T-shirt you used to wear? (I completely wish I were kidding.) The initial rumor was, maybe this girl group would reunite for the Olympics; now the rumor is, they mig...

Watch This: This Is Liam Neeson, Please Leave a Message

I'm so happy there is a UK. Actually, Graham Norton isn't technically British, huh. He is Irish, though! And so is handsome Liam Neeson, star of the new movie The Grey! So I'm happy there is an Ireland, is what I'm saying. Have you guys seen the trailer for The Grey, by the way? It has something to do with Alaska and a plane crash and some wolves. Actually, The Grey is in hot water over its portrayal of the Gray Wolf as some sort of killing machine---wolves, and especially gray ones, are endangered, you guys. I know this because when I was a kid I had a wolf poster on my bedroom wall. Also, a photograph of Judi Dench. Where was I? Ah, yes. I love Graham Norton. He's really twerpy, and he does it very, very well. In this clip from last night's episode of The Graham Norton Show, an audience member makes a very compelling case that she is Mr. Neeson's first-ever fan (she has brought along a letter that he sent her 30 years ago!). Her request: will he rerecord the greeting on her voicemail? Needless to say, Liam Neeson does so, and with aplomb. /> I'm so happy there is a UK.

Seal Is Still Talking About His Marriage to (and Separation from) Heidi Klum

A photo of Heidi Klum and Seal Seal is still still wearing his wedding ring, and what's more, he's still discussing his split from his wife of nearly seven years, Heidi Klum. Most recently, he talked about the breakup with Piers Morgan (who I, personally, would not trust with so much as an Easy-Bake Oven). USA Today has the story: "It doesn't really make sense," Seal said in an appearance on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight. "The truth of the matter is all I can tell you most sincerely is that it wasn't any one particular thing." Uuuuug...

Ryan Gosling Doesn’t Feel “Snubbed”

Photo: Ryan Gosling is plotting... to WIN YOUR HEART On Thursday, Ryan Gosling attended the Hua Hin International Film Festival in Bangkok as its guest of honor. There, the Hollywood Reporter had the audacity to ask Gosling whether he felt snubbed by the Academy. But Gosling, who has repeatedly proven himself as a class act, was unbudgingly gracious. Gosling was also quick to squash the notion he had been "passed-over" twice recently. First, after not being voted the Sexiest Man Alive, which his loyal fans protested outside the People Magazine offices in New York earlier this year. But the actor told THR: "I vo...

Your “Daily (Show)” Swinton

I know, I know. I keep talking about Tilda. "We need to talk about Tilda." (I think I cover Tilda with the frequency and fervor I ordinarily reserve for Neil Patrick Harris.) But Tilda gives a good interview---although, to be sure, sometimes her quotes can come off as icy or brittle. But in taped interviews, her sense of humor---about filmmaking and parenthood both---really shines. She is eccentric but not spastic, and she is very, very gracious. "I try and steer clear of anyone who has an opinion, really," Swinton tells Jon Stewart in a recent episode of The Daily Show. She says this very wryly, and she is laughing, but she isn't really kidding. She cops to exerting a certain amount of creative control on all the film projects she funds. But wouldn't she like to direct? "No. No, no, no. No. No, no, no. No." (I didn't count how many times she said "No" in a row, actually, but there were several of them.) "So that's a 'maybe,'" Stewart replies. "I'm too lazy, by far," she tells him. The audience laughs. "No, really," she says. "So you produce [We Need to Talk About Kevin], you act in the movie, but directing, that is where you draw the line," Stewart says. "Absolutely impossible," she concedes seriously. Oh, lord. We live in a word where Madonna wants to direct every movie, while Tilda Swinton wants to direct nothing. Stewart and Swinton turn the conversation to parenthood, and it's really charming. (Swinton has two 14-year olds, you guys. Two!) "They're great!" she says, really earnest. Anyway, again, sorry about all the Tilda. I am trying to cut back on the number of Daily Show clips I post, too. I can't help it, people! I really love how easygoing celebrities become when Stewart interviews them. And don't get me started on the time Cameron Diaz removed Jon Stewart's stitches on television. It was as disgusting as it was amazing. /> I know, I know. I keep talking about Tilda.
