Leo DiCaprio loves 'The Millionaire Matchmaker'

Looks like a certain Hollywood millionaire is a titanic fan of Patti Stanger.

"At Laker game, I hear a voice: 'Love your show.' It's gorgeous Leonardo DiCaprio," the "Millionaire Matchmaker" star tweeted on Sunday. "I have officially died and gone to heaven."

She's not the only one. Following that tweet, one of Stanger's followers wanted in on the action and asked to be added to Stanger's database if DiCaprio becomes a client.

"Uh, that would be 'no,'" responded Stanger, "because he already has the hottest Jewish girl alive: Bar [Refaeli]."

Indeed, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Refaeli, 25, has been dating DiCaprio, 36, since 2005. But it's nice to know that if things don't work out, he's got Stanger to help him get back into the dating game.

"The Millionaire Matchmaker" airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

Designer Charles Nolan dies at 53

Designer Charles Nolan died Sunday after a battle with cancer.

The 53-year-old American designer worked for several prominent fashion lines, including Anne Klein, Bill Blass, Christian Dior and Ellen Tracy, and was noted for his sportswear.

He was also well known for his outspoken political beliefs and devotion to the Democratic Party. He reportedly left the fashion industry for a bit in 2003 to volunteer for Howard Dean’s presidential campaign.


Nolan’s partner of 16 years, financial writer Andrew Tobias, told CNN the designer died Sunday morning at his home on Central Park West in New York City. Tobias said Nolan had battled cancer since 2008 with the disease beginning as tongue cancer, which then spread to his liver and reoccurred in 2010.

A funeral service is scheduled for Wednesday morning at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament in New York City, where one of Nolan’s brothers, who is a priest, will preside, Tobias said.

Why Nicole Kidman kept Faith a secret

(PEOPLE.com) -- Now that the world knows, Nicole Kidman says keeping quiet about her new daughter Faith Margaret was one of the toughest things she's ever had to do.

"I wanted to be able to tell everybody because I was so excited about her," Kidman told Giuliana Rancic on the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Why keep it a secret?

"We just decided this was our thing together," Kidman, 43, said of keeping the news quiet with hubby Keith Urban. "It kind of just perpetuated itself."

"[And] it protects her," Kidman added, "and it protects everyone in the situation."

The Aussie actress, who presented at Sunday's awards show, announced the latest addition to her family on January 17, three weeks after the little girl was born to a gestational carrier at The Women's Hospital at Centennial Medical Center in Kidman and Urban's adopted hometown of Nashville.

She joins big sister Sunday Rose, 2, and Kidman's kids from her marriage to Tom Cruise, Isabella, 18, and Connor, 15.

As for the name Faith Margaret, Kidman says she was influenced by family -- and her adopted southern hometown.

"It's that southern double name," she says. The name Margaret was her grandmother's name, who Kidman told Rancic "had her last baby at 49."

Said Kidman of her beloved grandmother: "She's my inspiration."

NO FUR FOR KRISTEN

Kristen Bell strikes a pose at a photocall for Burlesque in Berlin, Germany on December 16. Kristen put her look together starting with black button up (try Twisted Heart's Baby H&W Henley in Black) tucked into a brown cargo skirt (check out Suzabelle's Noisette Skirt in Coffee or Kill City's Military Skirt in Olive) topped with a plush fur Ella Moss vest (we're sold out at the moment, but try the look with Jenny Han's Cropped Faux Fur Vest in Brown Ostrich). Kristen stayed warm in black stockings, adding a gold bauble ring (like Noir's Clear Bubble in Silver) and a pair of knee high black boots (try Farylrobin's Mandy Tall Lug Sole Boot in Black). What do you think of Kristen's red carpet casual look? I'm digging the fur vest, and I like that the side braid softens the military accents. Thoughts? Kristen is known as an animal lover, so I do have to give her credit for choosing faux over real fur. PETA will be happy too – in a recent interview, Kristen shared her perspective: "I can’t speak for anyone else, but the reason why I don’t wear fur is because I don’t believe animals have to be hunted, raised, or killed for fashion. People have to look at the big picture. A collar of fur for a human meant suffering and death for an animal. It’s just pointless." What's your stance on wearing fur, is it a do or don't?

NEW COLLECTION DETAILS

Spotted at an art show that was held at the New Museum on Bowery Street in NYC on January 25, Mary-Kate Olsen unsurprisingly opted for a furry look as she posed for photographers. MKO started with a grey fur coat (get a great winter white faux fur option with Sanctuary's Fur Jacket in Natural) and a metallic patterned scarf (try Free People's Forest Scarf in Multi Charcoal), and then wore a pair of custom made jeans by one of Mary-Kate's favorite stores, Maxfield in LA. While I'm all for finding a great pair of jeans that fit, I think having jeans custom made might just be a tad unnecessary. For a similar pair, try 7 For All Mankind's Gwenevere in Dusty Newsprint. To finish up her art opening ensemble, MKO toted her favorite vintage Hermes bag and wore a pair of black boots and a few rings (take a peek at Noir's Oliver the Owl Ring in Silver). Are you digging Mary-Kate's outfit here, everyone - or has her style become a bit too predictable lately? For those of you who are fans of the twins' line The Row, you might be excited to hear details about the new Pre-Fall 2011 collection. According to Style Bistro, "The Row Pre-Fall 2011 collection is a clear proof of Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen's progress as designers. Still in muted color palette of dark neutrals and the occasional pop of camel or white, The Row Pre-Fall 2011 gives us a lot of pants. Straight-leg, wide-leg, skinny or short. In leather or wool. With simple tops or smart jackets. Plunging V-necklines are balanced out with long bottoms and the naive Peter Pan collars with the more aggressive leather shorts or skirt. And the maxis. Equipped with deep skirt slits, they add an alluring element to the collection. In this collection, balance is key." Sounds like another successful collection!

SWEET AT SPANISH KITCHEN

In the mood for Mexican food, Rosie Hungtington-Whiteley and boyfriend Jason Statham were seen heading to lunch at The Spanish Kitchen in West Hollywood on January 29. Keeping things casual and taking advantage of the sunny LA weather, Rosie wore a pair of denim cutoff shorts (similar to Work Custom Jeans' Beatnkik Short in Dark Riviera) with a sheer white t-shirt (check out Joe's Jeans' Ivy Tee in White) and what appears to be a maxi length sheer, flowy jacket. From there, Rosie slipped into a pair of black flats and wore a delicate charm necklace (try Erica Anenberg's Charm Necklace in Gold), and then toted a leopard print bag (the shape of Julie K Handbags' Robin in Cognac is similar). Of course, the requisite pair of black sunnies finished of Rosie's ensemble. Jason, on the other hand, kept it classic in a navy blue polo (like James Perse's Short Sleeve Polo in Deep) and khaki colored jeans (check out Joe's Jeans' Brixton Trouser in Rock), and then wore a pair of brown aviator sunglasses and a gold watch. Pretty standard guy outfit, but there's no denying Jason looks good in it. What are your thoughts on Rosie and Jason's Mexican meal 'fits, everyone?

Niecy Nash to say "I do"

The "Dancing with the Stars" competitor will say "I do" - on TV. The TLC network will air a two-hour special on Nash's wedding planning and actual wedding. The bride-to-be says she's happy for the help. "I am a woman who does not have the bride gene," she told People.

Elton John: I won't be invited to the royal wedding

(PEOPLE.com) -- Here's one star who isn't eagerly checking his mailbox for the big wedding invitation.

Despite the buzz about him performing at the royal wedding on April 29 (whether officially or as a street performer outside Westminster Abbey, as he joked), Elton John says he won't make the invite list.

"I think because of my relationship with Princess Diana, people automatically think I'm going to be invited," John told Reuters.

But since he doesn't know Prince William well, "I'm not invited to the wedding, I would not expect to be invited to the wedding," he says.

Still, he's happy to join the throngs of well-wishers.

Prince William and Kate Middleton "seem very happy," says the singer, who performed at the 2007 London memorial concert for Princess Diana. "He's a terrific man, William, and he's going to be a great king."

Not to mention a great groom.

"These boys are their own people, they have their own friends," says John. "I just hope that they have the best day and its sunny and it's a great occasion for them."

Actor David Arquette finishes rehab treatment

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Actor David Arquette ended a one-month stint in a rehab facility, his representative said Sunday.

"He has left after completing treatment," Arquette representative Cindy Guagenti said.

Arquette, who split from wife Courteney Cox in October, entered a live-in rehab facility over the New Year's weekend, his rep said at the time.

Cox and Arquette were married for 11 years and have a 6-year-old daughter, Coco.

Tracy Morgan Reiterates Obsession With Sarah Palin At SAG Awards

Today's SAG Awards had more love for Sarah Palin courtesy of comedian Tracy Morgan. Prior to the start of the ceremony, Morgan spoke with E! host Giuliana Rancic to reiterate his obsession with the former Vice Presidential candidate.

Morgan was caught on camera saying: "Sarah Palin, you're the hottest MILF in the world!"

Just days ago, Morgan found himself dealing with controversy when he spoke with a TNT NBA broadcast team covering a game between the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks.

TNT's Charles Barkley asked Morgan if he though Sarah Palin was attractive and Morgan answered, "She's good masturbation material."

The response left the crew at a loss for words. And the entire network had to release a statement to Morgan's comments.

"It's unfortunate Mr. Morgan showed a lack of judgment on our air with his inappropriate comments," the statement read. "We apologize for any embarrassment or offense it may have caused."

Lea Michele to sing at Super Bowl

It’ll be from “Glee” to shining “Glee” on Sunday, February 6.

Not only will the much-hyped special episode of "Glee" air after the Super Bowl XLV that Sunday, but E! News reports that Lea Michele will also be tuning up for the pre-game.

The 24-year-old will belt out a performance of “America the Beautiful,” joining the ranks of Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, Faith Hill, Queen Latifah, Marc Anthony, Ray Charles and Vicki Carr as the only stars to perform the song at the event.

But of course, Michele isn’t the only one taking the stage that night. The Black Eyed Peas will be on hand for the half-time performance, and Christina Aguilera will take on the national anthem.

From Blonde to Platinum

Ashlee Simpson was spotted sporting a brand new 'do Thursday night after spending over three hours upgrading her tresses from blond to platinum at the Andy Lecompte Salon in West Hollywood. Do you think the singer's new haircut is hot ... or not?

Best picture Oscar nominees get lego treatment

Get ready to see those best picture Oscar nominees as you've never seen them before — in Lego form.

Using just the colorful plastic building blocks and his imagination, artist Alex Eylar has reinterpreted scenes from each of the films vying for an Academy Award on February 27, reports Defamer.

There's a mini James Franco staring down at his severed arm, a tiny Natalie Portman looking terrified as her evil alter ego glares back in the mirror, and a frustrated Colin Firth attempting to give the king's speech.

"It was film that inspired the Lego hobby, in a way. If you watch enough good movies, you see scenes, shots, compositions, etc that you just have to try," says Eylar, who previously re-imagined "The Shining," "Psycho" and "Pulp Fiction" in Lego form. "Out of the scenes I've built so far, 'Inception' is my favorite. The rotating hallway was a neat challenge and a big visual payoff, and that's the kind of thing I aim for."

Kenneth Cole in-'vests' in Sundance

One of the hot apparel items at Sundance is sleeveless, (down) feather-light and comes courtesy of designer Kenneth Cole.

The retail magnate created a special down vest for festival volunteers, a hardy band who endure cold temperatures, long hours and the occasional obnoxious star, publicist or (heaven forbid) media person.

All 1,600 volunteers got a free vest in recognition of their efforts, and some celebrities did too– we noticed them on the shoulders of Susan Sarandon, Paul Giamatti, Rosie O'Donnell, Ed Helms and Danny Glover, to name a few. They're not exactly Sundance volunteers, but they did volunteer to be warmed by Cole's vest.


If you want to get hold of a vest yourself, limited quantities are available at the online festival store at Sundance.org and "for a select time" at Kenneth Cole stores around the country. We're told (via press release) that a "percentage of net profits from the sale" of the vests will be donated to the Sundance Institute.

It's no coincidence Kenneth Cole provided the garments. He's served on the Sundance Institute board since 2003 and is a pal of Sundance founder Robert Redford.

CHRIS MCMILLAN CUTE

Newly brunette beauty Lauren Conrad was photographed leaving the Chris McMillan Salon in Beverly Hills on January 26, and seemed to be in a good mood as the paps snapped away. For her daily outfit, Lauren wore a pair of dark wash denim leggings (try either J Brand's 901 Low Rise Legging in Sable or Chaseley's Denim Legging in Overdye Blue) along with a striped long sleeve tee (like Son of John's Astrid Stripe Long Sleeve Tee in Black), and then toted her favorite Miu Miu shoulder bag (get a funky look with Alexander Wang's Donna Hobo Bag in Brick). Lauren completed her look with a pair of strappy heels, a pair of aviator shades, and her favorite delicate charm necklace. Is Lauren's look something you would wear for a trip to the salon, ladies? For those of you interested in Lauren's decision to switch from California blonde to brunette, her hairstylist, Kristin Ess, is speaking out about the hair transformation. Says Kristin: "It was just time to go for it. We've done so many variations of blonde in the past, and it's fun to do something new." She continues: "Lauren was inspired by the "Brazilian brown" color of Jessica Biel and Mila Kunis. Her look is composed of a brown base, highlights and a 'golden gloss.'" What do you think, everyone - is Lauren better blonde or brunette?

HERE COMES THE SUNNIES!

Stepping out for lunch on a sunny LA day on January 27, Nicole Richie opted for a colorful, springtime look and brought out a floral print. I'm totally loving her breezy, glam floral maxi - for a few similar options here on CoutureCandy, check out Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's Cami Dress in Multi, Meghan Los Angeles' Evelyn Dress in Grey, or Boulee's Bo Strapless Long Dress in Garden. From there, NR donned a pair of oversized aviator sunglasses, a blue Balenciaga bag, and a pair of strappy sandals. For a cool, exotic option, check out Farylrobin's Wilson Sandals in Natural Snake. Are you digging Nicole's ensemble here, everyone? And for those of you who are stuck in the blistering cold and snow, are you kind of jelly that Nicole's out basking in the 70 degree LA weather? Haha. In other Richie news, it was recently announced that Nicole is going to be focusing on eyewear and sunglasses for her new collection. Says Nicole: "We are introducing sunglasses this season. Sunglasses play a huge role in my life simply because I don't wear make-up. Over time I've grown to like elaborate frames and fun lenses and it was important to me to bring this out for my collection." Nicole does always have the most insane sunnies - have any of you checked out her new designs?

The film is set to air before the royal wedding on April 29 and will show how "the friendship between Prince William, second in line to the throne of the British monarchy, and future princess Kate Middleton, the stunning daughter of upper middle-class commoners, blossomed into a romantic love affair, charming the world with their recent engagement and eagerly awaited Royal Wedding."

Khloe Kardashian, Lamar Odom get fragrance

Khloe Kardashian and her husband, Lamar Odom of the Los Angeles Lakers are working on a chocolate-scented unisex fragrance called Unbreakable, to debut on February 12th, 2011, just in time for Valentine's Day.

"He's always wanted a unisex fragrance," Khloe told E! News. "It took a long time to create what we both wanted and would wear and love, and we found the perfect one... Someone just asked me, 'What are you wearing?' and I love that I can say it's our fragrance!"

Khloe and Odom are also preparing for the debut of their own reality spin-off show, "Khloe and Lamar" which will follow the couple's life together. Kardashian, 26, married Odom, 31, in September 2009.

"You know about as much as you can about me and [my family]," Khloé said, "but it's experiencing Lamar in a different light, more in his personal life. Even following him on the road, so you get an inside light on basketball life, too."

The show will air on E! Entertainment Television, which carries "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," a reality show that features her sister Kim and other family members, as well as her other spin-off, "Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami."

"It's been an option since we got married, but we wanted to enjoy our first year in private," Kardashian said on her blog. "With 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians,' only a very small part of our life together is shown, but with this show, we're putting it ALL out there LOL."

Khloe's sisters Kim and Kourtney are starring in the most recent Kardashian spin-off, "Kourtney and Kim Take New York," which permiered earlier this month on E! Entertainment Television.

Charlie Sheen 'Voluntarily' Enters Rehab; 'Two And A Half Men' Goes On Hiatus

Charlie Sheen has checked himself into rehab.

"Charlie Sheen has voluntarily entered an undisclosed rehabilitation center today," the actor's rep, Stan Rosenfield, confirmed to Access Hollywood on Friday afternoon.

PLAY IT NOW: Charlie Sheen's Late Night Hospital Check Out (January 27, 2011)

The move comes just one day after the actor was transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after vomiting, following a late-night bash at his home that extended into the early hours of Thursday morning.

A source told Access Hollywood that Sheen was driven to Promises rehab in Malibu, Calif., early Friday afternoon, by his father, Martin Sheen.

Just as Sheen's rep announced he was entering rehab, CBS announced that "Two and a Half Men," the actor's hit comedy, was going on hiatus.

"Due to Charlie Sheen's decision to enter a rehabilitation center, CBS, Warner Bros. Television and executive producer Chuck Lorre are placing 'Two and a Half Men' on production hiatus," CBS said in a statement. "We are profoundly concerned for his health and well-being, and support his decision."

Prior to the news of the actor entering rehab, the sitcom had expected to resume production as planned next week.

In his statement on Friday, Sheen's rep added that the actor "is most grateful to all who have expressed their concern."

He also noted that the actor has asked "that his privacy be respected at this time and that no additional information will be provided."

VIEW THE PHOTOS: Celebs Who Have Been In Rehab

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Sheen was rushed to Cedars-Sinai early Thursday morning, following a 911 call. A source told Access on Thursday that the actor's condition at the hospital was "serious," but despite internet rumors, the actor did not overdose, nor was he in a coma.

Access learned on Thursday that while at the hospital, Sheen was alert and talking.

Sheen, who the source said has been partying lately, with no plans on stopping, had been vomiting during the early hours of Thursday morning.

The actor's father, Martin Sheen, and his mother, Janet, as well as two of his exes - ex wife Denise Richards and estranged wife Brooke Mueller (they filed for divorce in November 2010) -- went to visit Sheen in the hospital on Thursday.

Rosenfield confirmed to Access on Friday morning that Sheen left the hospital on Thursday night and went home.

Access learned on Friday that Sheen's father, Martin, stayed with his son on Thursday night and tried to convince him to check into rehab.

A rep for Martin Sheen was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Access.

As for Richards, on Thursday evening, she Tweeted her gratitude to those who reached out with messages of encouragement.

"Thank you so much for you kind and supportive messages..it means a lot ...thank u...x," she wrote.

She later blasted reports that quoted people described as her "friends" and called the situation private.

"I love how certain media outlets say my 'friends' are speaking to the press..all B.S. Nothing has been discussed this is a private matter," she Tweeted on Friday.

Sheen's hospitalization came less than a day after his "Two and A Half Men" co-star, Jon Cryer, admitted he checks the Sheen news online before heading to work on the CBS sitcom in the morning.

"It's always a little weird because like the stuff you hear is just unbelievable," Cryer told Conan O'Brien on Wednesday night's "Conan." "I mean like...I'm checking TMZ, as I do everyday, to know if I have to go to work at all."

Additionally, earlier this month, Nina Tassler, president of CBS' entertainment division, told reporters the network was concerned about Sheen's recent behavior.

"We have a high level of concern and how could we not?" Tassler previously told reporters at the Television Critics Association Winter 2011 Session. "On a very basic human level, concern, of course. This man is a father; he's got children; he has a family... but you can't look at it simplistically."

Tassler said Sheen understood the network had concerns, but the actor was meeting all of his obligations to the show.

"I don't know what personal concern -- what personal information has been given to him, but he certainly knows how we feel... he knows the level of concern that we have," she said at the time. "Right now, the show continues to be as successful as it always is. Everyone is doing their job and things are continuing as planned."

Sheen has had several medical issues in the past several months.

On January 13, a lawyer for the actor confirmed to Access that Sheen was back at work after seeking treatment for an ear infection the day before.

Back in October 2010, authorities in New York City took him to the hospital following a well-publicized incident in a NYC hotel room.

Sheen's rep told Access at the time that Sheen had "an adverse allergic reaction to some medication," which required the hospital visit.

Judging J. Lo: Randy Jackson Gives Jennifer Lopez's Singing a 7

It's a good thing Jennifer Lopez isn't getting in front of Randy Jackson for an assessment of her talent anytime soon. On Jimmy Kimmel Live Jan. 18, American Idol's veteran judge was asked to rate Lopez's singing ability on a scale of one to 10. His answer? "She would definitely get a strong, solid 7," he said to host Jimmy Kimmel's surprise. After all, a 7 pretty much amounts to a C-.

"A seven's really good," Jackson insisted. "She doesn't have the biggest voice in the world, but she can sing. It's the package -- look at Britney, Ke$ha, Gaga, they're not like my girl Mariah Carey..."

The head scratching continued when Kimmel inquired as to where Lady Gaga would land on the scale. "I'd probably give her a 7 as well," said Jackson, prompting another double-take from the host, who remarked, "You believe Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez are on equal status?"

After a moment of deliberation, Jackson back-pedaled: "OK, I give Gaga an 8."

Ouch! Maybe what they're saying about Randy turning to the harsh side is true. Unapologetic and wholly unintimidated, in taking Simon Cowell's seat at the table, has some of the former judge's TV savagery managed to seep through the leather? We'll find out soon enough: Now that Season 10 has premiered!

Old Spice Guy is Back

FIT N' FLARED

Heading out for a friend's bday bash, Jessi ca Alba was spotted with hubby Cash Warren and their baby girl Honor in Pacific Palisades, CA on January 17. The happy fam enjoyed the afternoon soiree after a long weekend which included a shopping trip in Beverly Hills and picking up yummy eats at Whole Foods. I have to say compared to some of her peers Jess does a great job of juggling mommyhood with her career – although she did forget to feed the meter on the way to a business meeting the following day, and wound up with a parking ticket! For the birthday bash Jessica channeled a casual 70's vibe, pairing a tan and yellow plaid Madewell top (check out Jenny Han's Basic Plaid Shirt in Noir Plaid) with a pair of wide leg flares (love 7 for All Mankind's uber flattering Miller Trouser in New York Dark) and wooden wedges (similar to Farylrobin's Imogen in Brown). Jess carried a chunky knit cardi (indulge in Alexander Wang's Fishermans Cardi in Storm) and carried a navy suede barrel bag, accenting her look with a heart pendant necklace (add a sweet touch with Femme Metale's Ice Cream Cone Charm in Silver). What do you think of Jessica's casual style, are you a fan of flares this spring? I have to say I like the leggy look for her, it works with her coloring and definitely gives her a cool mom vibe. Not to say this trend isn't to be tried by all ages! Have any of you been sporting flares this winter? After receiving the news that her latest rom-com Little Fockers is still pulling in big bucks in its fifth week of release, Jess was spotted catching a departing flight out of LAX en route to Paris to take part in the Spring/Summer 2011 Haute Couture Fashion Week festivities. Can't wait to see what she turns up in next!

SWEET AT THE SUPERCROSS

It's hard to catch Fergie without her significant other Josh Duhamel, and this time the two were seen heading to Dodger Stadium to watch the AMA Supercross Championship in LA on January 22. Both sporting leather jackets and jeans, Fergie started with a pair of distressed grey skinny jeans (like Denim of Virtue's Patience 5 Pocket Tapered Leg in Stormy Sky) that the wore with a printed tee (check out Chaser's Tiger Tee in Grey) and a black leather jacket with studded lapels. For a cool leather blazer, be sure to take a look at Muu Baa's Valkyrie Blazer in Black. From there, Fergie Ferg wore a few of her trademark knuckle rings, and slipped into a pair of black heels. Moving on to Josh, he also started with a leather jacket (like 7 Diamonds' Montreal Jacket in Brown) and a pair of well worn denim (check out AG Jeans' Protoge in 15 Years Damaged). Then Josh wore a blue button up (similar to 7 Diamonds' New Generation in Navy), a pair of rugged boots and a baseball cap to complete his look. Are you liking these looks on F and J everyone? On a side note, who knew that Josh and Fergie were Supercross fans? For those of you who don't know, Supercross is an extreme racing sport where off-road motorcycles tear around on artificially made dirt tracks, complete with steep jumps and obstacles. For the first time ever, Dodger Stadium was transformed from a baseball field to a Supercross venue especially for the event. 550 truckloads of dirt were brought into the baseball field to create the track and slopes for the race involving 150 world class riders. Crazy! I have a feeling that this is more something that Josh is into, but that's so sweet that Fergie went with him to this wild night!

Kim Kardashian battles Obama for Twitter followers

(CNN) -- The sisters Kardashian -- Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe -- don't have to spend millions on focus groups and dynamic PR strategists to get noticed: Twitter does it for them.

In an interview to air on Thursday's "Piers Morgan Tonight," Morgan pointed out that all three are in the top 100 list of people being followed on Twitter worldwide: Kourtney is number 72, Khloe is number 47, and Kim is the sixth-most followed. With 6 million followers, she's neck and neck with President Barack Obama.

Kourtney called Twitter "the best decision-maker," pointing out that she Tweets everything from potential perfume bottle designs for the sisters' signature fragrance, to outfit dilemmas, to asking fans what she should have for dinner.

Morgan, who has only been on Twitter for six weeks, has more than 200,000 followers, and asked Kim and Kourtney to help him gain more, pointing out that the sisters' influence was "fascinating."

In light of the fact that their opinions are clearly in demand, Morgan asked them about Obama and Sarah Palin, stating, "What would you say if I said, 'Sarah Palin'?"

To which Kourtney replied, "I just think, like, hunter. That's just like the first thing that comes into my head.



Kardashians' most extravagant purchase Kim said that Obama was the first presidential candidate to get her "motivated enough to vote."

When Morgan asked Kourtney and Kim if they would have any talent if they were to appear on "America's Got Talent," Kim Kardashian said, "I would absolutely say that marketing is a skill." Kim also said that "fashion" was a skill, pointing out that the sisters all worked as stylists at some point and that they currently own "three successful clothing stores."

The Kardashians pointed out that much of their brand revolves around promoting a healthy body image and that none of the three sisters are "stick skinny." Kourtney admitted that while she is, in fact, a size zero, she is also very petite at 5 feet tall, and curvy. Kim, at 5-foot-3, said her size wavers between the 4 and 6 range. "We're not trying to fit in the same mold," said Kim. "We know that we feel our best when we look our best."

Kim said she is always "super honest" when plastic surgery rumors surface and had no trouble admitting that while she has "tried Botox before," her breasts are "completely, 100 percent real." Kourtney admitted she does, in fact, have implants. Kim also said she often uses body shapers, masking tape, and other under-clothing body smoothers to boost her confidence -- particularly on the red carpet.

"If you know your body type," said Kim, "then you can dress to feel -- its like, 'Fake it until you make it' is what we always say."

When Morgan asked them what the most extravagant thing they ever bought for themselves was, Kim said she had purchased a $115,000 watch that she "got a really good deal on."

Even the most savvy pop culture connoisseurs may not realize that Ryan Seacrest is the Kardashians' boss. Seacrest has served as executive producer of the E! network's "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" since the reality series premiered in 2007.

"He is pretty evil," joked Kim.

The Kardashians count Seacrest among their greatest friends. "Ryan is so easy to talk to. He just gets it," said Kim. "He completely trusts us and our vision."

Morgan also asked the Kardashians if there is anything about their lives that is off-limits.

"Relationships," said Kim. "I only show very little bits and pieces." When Morgan asked Kim if she was "in love" with New Jersey Nets player Kris Humphries, Kim was tight-lipped. "I think that this time around, I am really trying to keep things a little bit more private than I have in the past," she said.

The Kardashians were quick to point out that their solid American values and work ethic keep them grounded. Kim, who said she "never" talks money because she thinks its "inappropriate," maintains that she gives 10 percent of her yearly income to her church because that's how she was raised.

"Whatever it is, I give 10 percent away to the church, and that's what I was taught." When asked if she did the same, Kourtney said, "I'm going to now," with a laugh.

"I was taught that, too, but I forgot about it."

Julianne Moore is Harvard's Hasty Pudding 'Woman of the Year'

Despite her recent Oscar snub, "The Kids Are All Right" star Julianne Moore still has something to celebrate. The actress was named "Woman of the Year" by Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the drama troupe of Harvard University and is set to receive her honor on Thursday.

The annual prize is given to performers who have made a lasting and impressive contribution to entertainment.

Hasty Pudding spokesperson Learah T. Lockhart told the Harvard Crimson that the group chose Moore because the actress "has made a lot of bold choices in her career." Lockheart says, "She has acted in everything from movies to independent films to theater to television. She has even authored two children's books."

The four-time Oscar nominee, who is known for roles in "Magnolia," "Boogie Nights," and "The Hours," also has some roots to Boston as she's a graduate of Boston University's College of Fine Arts. She also picked up a Boston accent for her multi-episode guest stint on "30 Rock."

Moore will be joined by Jay Leno, Hasty Pudding's "Man of The Year." Leno, a standup comedian and Massachusetts native, hosted "The Tonight Show" between 1992 and 2009, after which O'Brien took over for seven months. Leno regained his position after O'Brien left the network last year as part of an NBC shake-up. The comedian was considered a controversial choice because O'Brien is a Harvard graduate.

A parade and roast for Moore is set to be held on January 27. Festivities honoring Leno will take place on February 4. Previous "Women of the Year" include Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster and Charlize Theron.

Kristen Stewart to be 'Snow White'

According to Reuters, the "Twilight" star is in talks to star as the title character in the new live-action "Snow White" film. Charlize Theron is rumored to be in the running for the Evil Queen role, and Viggo Mortensen may play the Huntsman.

Khloe Kardashian: Weight is my biggest struggle

Though she seems to have it all—fame, fortune and a happy marriage—fun-loving reality star Khloe Kardashian admits that she has her struggles like everyone else, especially when it comes to body image.

"My weight is always going up and down. I'm always fighting that, and I feel like no matter what I do, I never look good enough to everybody else," Kardashian, 26, admits in a video Q&A on her blog. "But that's been a struggle that I think I've gotten a hold of, not caring what other people think. Now I just have my body to how I like it."

Despite feeling more comfortable in her skin, Kardashian says she isn't immune to being constantly compared to sisters Kim, 30, and Kourtney, 31, and the speculation that she's pregnant any time she puts on a pound.

"Other people's words eventually do come and hit you hard," she says. "My weight is my biggest lifetime struggle. It's not the biggest thing in life, but it does get you down sometimes."

John Travolta to play John Gotti

John Travolta is going gangsta. The actor is reportedly set to star in an upcoming biopic of former crime boss John Gotti.

TMZ reports that Travolta and comedian Marty Ingels had a top-secret meeting at Brentwood, California, restaurant Amici on January 24 and talked Mafia over their meal.

"Travolta's going to play the life of John Gotti," Ingles told the TMZ crew as he exited the eatery. "That's why we were meeting,"

For his part, Travolta isn't being a stool pigeon and won't confirm or deny the report. Asked if he'd be portraying the Dapper Don, who died in 2002 while serving a life sentence in prison, the 56-year-old star responded, "I don't know about that."

According to TMZ, Oscar nominee/host James Franco is also expected to join the crime family as John Gotti Jr.

AUDRINA'S IPHONE APP

Stepping out in Hollywood to film a scene for her new reality show, Audrina Patridge hit up The Room with boyfriend Corey Bohan on January 24. For her night out ensemble, Audrina wore gold sequined dress with an oversized black clutch (try Jalda's Fabric Kona in Black), strappy black heels (get the look with Coye Nokes' Joan Bootie in Black Embossed Python) and a bright red manicure. For an option that shimmers just as much as Audrina's dress, check out Sue Wong's All Over Beaded Mini in Rust/Black, or for a similar silhouette in black, try Carter's Beaded Shoulder Kitten Dress in Black. Are you into Audrina's look here, everyone? I think that the gold tone of the dress complements her olive skin tone very well, I'm just a bit unsure about those shoes. Thoughts? In other Audrina news, it seems that the former "Hills" starlet is getting her own iPhone app! The app provides easy access to Audrina’s behind-the-scenes videos, exclusive pictures, her tweets, blog and merchandise. Audrina says: "I’m excited to have my own iPhone app,. It’s a great way for me to reach out to my fans and share behind-the-scenes photos and videos that they can’t get anywhere else." While this is all fine and good, I wonder if Audrina's fan base is really big enough to warrant her own app? Nicole Adams, CEO of Celebrity Apps, thinks so. She says: "I’m a big fan of Audrina, loved her on "The Hills" and "Dancing With The Stars." We’re proud to be producing her app and I especially like the ‘Get my Look’ feature." Has anyone checked this out?

Jon Bon Jovi To Star Alongside Robert De Niro In New Movie

Jon Bon Jovi, the 48-year-old American rocker whose last acting role was appearing in the 2006 movie 'National Lampoon's Pucked', has been cast alongside Robert De Niro in the forthcoming film 'New Year's Eve', reports the Press Association. US Comedian SETH MEYERS and the German actor Til Schweiger have also been added to the cast.


Bon Jovi is set to play a successful rock star who accidently bumps into his ex-girlfriend, played by Halle Berry, at a party. Meyers will play the husband of Jessica Biel's character who is eager for his wife to deliver the first baby of the year so that he can win 25,000 US dollars. The movie is considered to be the follow-up to last year's successful romantic-comedy 'Valentines Day' and will tell the intertwining stories a group of New Yorkers as they prepare to celebrate 'New Year's Eve'.


The film has a star-studded cast that includes Robert De Niro, Zac Efron, Sarah Jessica Parker, Michelle Pfeiffer, Hilary Swank, Ashton Kutcher and Sofia Vergara. It is scheduled to hit cinemas on 9th December 2011.

Steve Harvey's ex-wife bashes him on YouTube

Steve Harvey's ex-wife Mary Harvey recently bashed the actor and comedian in a series on YouTube videos and accused him of cheating on her while they were married.

The two wed in 1996 and divorced in 2005. They have a son together and children from previous relationships.

Steve Harvey has not responded publicly to her comments but his attorney said in a statement that some of Mary Harvey's remarks about her ex-husband were false and slanderous and that her behavior was devious and selfish.

In the videos, Mary Harvey said she once received a letter from a woman claiming to have been in a relationship with Steve Harvey as well as phone call from Marjorie Bridges, who wed the entertainer in 2007. Mary Harvey said the woman told her she rang the couple's private number to inquire about a job.

"What made me stay was that Steve was my second husband and in my opinion, he was going to be the second and last," Mary Harvey said. "I had totally committed to growing old with him. I think about how quickly he moved forward from me to Marjorie. That was disturbing. He just left."

She said she is speaking out after seeing her name referenced in an Essence magazine article about her ex-husband, who is known for his television series "The Steve Harvey Show" and for his books that offer relationship advice. Steve Harvey is quoted as saying on Oprah Winfrey's website in 2009 that if a man is going to cheat, it has nothing to do with their emotional attachment or their feelings toward their partner.

"The not having closure part was really devastating," Mary Harvey added. "He turned my son against me. Had me evicted from our house. Thrown out. All the businesses, all the money, the cars. He maneuvered, manipulated the courts."

In November 2007, Mary Harvey sued her ex-husband for breach of contract over their divorce. She claimed she was defrauded financially over child support payments and said he cheated on her and put her through mental and physical abuse. The case was dismissed the following month.

"We are appalled and aware of the videos and other fabricated documents, which were placed on the Internet over the weekend by the ex-wife of Mr. Steve Harvey, which contained false, misleading, derogatory, disparaging, malicious, explicit and slanderous information about Mr. Harvey, his current wife and others," Harvey's attorney, Bobbie Edmonds, said in a statement obtained by OnTheRedCarpet.com.

"We are saddened that the ex-wife has resorted to such devious and selfish behavior, with a reckless disregard for their minor son, her adult son and Mr. Harvey's other children," the statement said.

There are court orders in place prohibiting both Steve and Mary Harvey from discussing certain topics, Edmonds said, adding: "We are taking the necessary legal steps to rectify this matter to the full extent of the law and we will be seeking contempt and sanctions against her for such reprehensible and callous disregard for the court orders."

Penelope Cruz gives birth to baby boy, rep confirms

"Penelope and Javier welcomed their first son into their family last week," a statement from Cruz's spokesperson said to OnTheRedCarpet.com. "Both parents and baby are doing great."
A spokesperson for Penelope Cruz confirms to OnTheRedCarpet.com that the actress and her husband, Javier Bardem, have welcomed their first child, a baby boy.

The new parents have not released the name of the child and no other details were provided about his birth. The news was first reported by Spanish newspaper El Pais.

On Tuesday, Bardem received an Oscar nomination for his role in "Biutiful."

Cruz, 36, and Bardem, 41, married in the Bahamas in early July after dating since at least 2007. The two Oscar-winning actors first met while filming the Spanish movie "Jamon, Jamon" in 1992.

Cruz will appear in "Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides," which will be released on May 20, 2011 and in 3D. In the movie, which finished filming in November, Cruz plays the love interest of Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow and the daughter of the pirate Blackbeard, who is portrayed by Ian McShane of Deadwood fame.

Chad Ochocinco: Changes Name Back To Chad Johnson, Now What?

Chad Ochocinco: Changes Name Back To Chad Johnson, Now What?

Chad Ochocinco, the former Chad Johnson, has apparently grown tired of his Ochocinco name and he's going back to his old surname of Johnson.

Why?

"I don't have a choice right now," Ochocinco told ESPN's Trey Wingo. "I've done enough with the Ocho thing."

Ochocinco changed his name before the start of the 2008 football season to match the numbers on his jersey No. 85. Since then, Ochocinco has been getting more attention for his actions and antics off the football field than on it.

Ochocinco became an even bigger celebrity around the league after the name change and managed to parlay his popularity into a spot on television's Dancing with the Stars. He was even featured on his own reality show on VH1 Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch.

Despite all of the success and celebrity off the field, all the fame and popularity affected his play.

As Chad Johnson, he had six straight seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards. In three years as Ocho, he only managed to do it once.

Maybe this is his way of going back to his roots and starting over to find his game once again.

MIXED PRINT PRETTY

Turning up the glamour, Kirsten Dunst makes a dramatic appearance at the Art of Elysium's 4th Annual Black Tie "Heaven" Charity Gala in Los Angeles on January 15. In addition to raising money to make a difference, the evening featured a Vogue fashion show, which surely inspired Kiki to go all out in Rodarte at the event. Kirsten arrived in a bold mixed print frock with a black and white blouson bodice and a pale green tulip wrap skirt (if you like the contrasting look, try mixing prints like Loeffler Randall's Graphic Dress in Black, Meghan Los Angeles' Daffidil Mini in Pink Print or Rachel Pally's Neomi Long Sleeve Dress in Print). Kirsten paired her frock with a pair of demure t-strap heels (add a quirky touch I'm sure Kiki would appreciate with Farylrobin's Jayden in Black), finishing the look with dark smoky eyes and blood red lipstick. I personally think her makeup is a little too vampire-esque for the dress, but I have to point out that compared to Kiki's usual drab looks, this one is anything but mundane. Thoughts? In light of her recent roles in All Good Things and Somewhere, Kirsten has been giving plenty of interviews lately, and even took time to dwell on a somber period that many fans have wondered about: her 2008 stint in rehab. Kirsten explained her hesitation to speak out about her depression with BlackBook magazine for the Dec/Jan 2011 issue: “On a personal level, I would talk to anybody about it, but not on a public level. If I do that, then the next person feels like they can ask me about it, and the person after that, until everyone then feels entitled to ask me about it, and that’s not coming from a good place.” Can't say I blame her for wanting a little privacy, but I do hope she's doing okay nowadays. Do you agree with her guarded stance?

SHOPPING IN CHAINS

Enjoying the unseasonably warm winter weather, Emma Roberts heads out for a bit of shopping in LA on January 13. Emma headed to Fred Segal for a little retail therapy before picking up some new reads from her favorite bookstore, Book Soup. Em enjoyed the sunshine in a warm beige tank (try T by Alexander Wang's comfy Stripe Classic Tank in Smoke) with black ankle jeans (check out Joes Jeans' 29" Zip Legging in Rana), ballet flats and a navy tote to carry her new reads (similar to Foley + Corinna's Mid City Tote in Navy). The focal point of the look rests on Emma's interesting chain wrap necklace draped over her shoulders – what do you think of her fashion risk? To add a unique touch to your look, try Ettika's Dbl Feather w Hamsa & Heart Lariat Necklace in Brown. What are your thoughts on Em's daring style? It's definitely risky, but I can't say I completely hate it. After stocking up at Fred Segal, Emma headed to Park City, Utah over the weeked for the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Em's new flick Homework is featured this year, and while the reviews sadly characterize the movie as a "vapid coming-of-age story," it seems Fox Searchlight doesn't think so. Shortly after the premiere on Sunday, a deal was inked to distribute the film for just over $3 million. Not bad for a so-called typical teenage flick! Between this and her appearance in Scream 4, it sounds like Em's career is off to a great start in 2011. How about the rest of you, have the first few weeks treated you well?

CUPCAKES FROM FRANCE

Doing what she does best, Eva Longoria dines with her gal pals at her restaurant Beso in West Hollywood on January 21. Eva has been super busy over the past few days, filming new episodes of Desperate Housewives by day and taking care of business at night. Eva kept it casual for her Friday night out, wearing a grey long sleeve top with silky stripes across the front (check out Brokedown's Seahorse Thermal Hoodie in Vintage Black or Hard Tail's Jersey V-Neck Tee in Green Tea for similar embellished options) with black jeggings (add a distressed element with Rock Revival's Amy Skinny 03 in Amy) and a pair of patent pumps (Loeffler Randall's Wood Heel Pump in Black are a great versatile option). Eva accessorized with a black croc embossed tote (add a textured touch to tie your look together, like Whiting & Davis' White Snake Mesh Hobo in Gun Metal), pink pendant earrings and a silver ring on her middle finger (add some shine with Anna Beck's Sterling Silver Saddle Ring in Silver). Looks like Eva enjoyed her meal so much she look a few drops of it home on her top – whoops! What do you think of her day-to-night dining look? Despite her own domestic troubles, Eva was recently delighted to learn that close pal Victoria Beckham is expecting another baby with hubby David Beckham – but unfortunately, she'll be heading back to London until the birth. To give her a proper send-off, Eva is hosting a joint baby shower and going away party with pal Kate Beckinsale, dishes an insider: “Eva and Kate are organizing a little get together so they can congratulate Victoria, but also say goodbye. They’re really sad that there’s a chance she’s going to be away from Los Angeles for so long. They’re planning on getting all their mutual friends together for tea and cakes at Eva’s… She’s planning to lay on cupcakes and Laduree macaroons, which she’s getting flown over from France because she knows Victoria Beckham absolutely loves them." What a sweet friend – literally!

THE SLEEK AND SEXY "ROOMMATE"

After kicking off her 2011 style with a major Burberry moment at the Golden Globes, Leighton Meester made a statuesque and sexy appearance on the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of her new film The Roommate on January 23. Opting for a Pre-Fall 2011 Michael Kors black maxi dress paired with Harry Winston earrings and Brian Atwood peeptoe heels, Leighton polished off her look with zero jewelry and a chic, sleek blowout. I am totally loving this look on Leighton, she looks so gorgeous! This look is the picture of minimalist perfection. For a few similar black maxi dresses here on CoutureCandy, take a peek at Tt Collection's Cristophe Double Layer Gown in Black, Sue Wong's Vintage Beaded Maxi Dress in Black, or Hard Tail's Lyrca Tube Maxi Dress in Black. From there, slip into a pair of sassy peeptoe heels, a la Loeffler Randall's Mabel Strappy Platform in Papaya, and you'll be set! In addition to portraying the crazy chick in The Roommate, Leighton is also the cover girl of the February 2011 issue of Nylon, and speaks out (yet again) about her take on playing Blair Waldorf on "Gossip Girl." Says LM: "Blair is…. I don’t know what she is… I have to enter a completely foreign body to sympathize with Blair and her decisions. You know, Blair grew up very savvy, well-educated, and lonely. I think her mother is not the most supportive person and… Blair is very competitive and conniving, and it obviously comes, usually, from a very human place, but she makes decisions that I would never make." When you look at it that way, I'm sure Blair is definitely a complex character to play!

Oscars 2011: The nominees react

Nicole Kidman and Geoffrey Rush have both nabbed Oscars before, but that doesn’t make this morning’s nominations any less sweet.

Rush, 59, was nominated in the best supporting actor category for his role in “The King’s Speech” whereas Kidman is up once again for a best actress Oscar.

"What an extraordinary journey this film has taken me on! ‘Rabbit Hole’ has been a labor of love and I'm so thankful to John Cameron Mitchell, David Lindsay-Abaire and the brilliant cast,” Kidman, 43, told CNN in a statement. “This nomination reflects all of the heart and soul that these people have put into it and I can't thank them enough."


As for Rush, who played speech therapist Lionel Logue in the film, told CNN: "As an Australian, I'm as excited to be recognized and honored by the Academy as my character must have been when his London speech therapy business flourished when the future King Of England happened to pop by one day.”

Rush added,”This story has struck such a rich resonant chord with audiences of all ages, which is very exciting - to have your work honored by your industry peers is even better."

Rush's co-star Colin Firth, who is nominated for a best actor statuette, told CNN that he's "currently celebrating with my colleagues three feet above the ground. Not used to this much joy, or this much champagne at this hour." Meanwhile, "King's Speech" director and best directing nominee Tom Hooper added, "I am absolutely overwhelmed by the twelve Oscar nominations for 'The King's Speech'. I am so grateful to the Academy. I am incredibly proud of my extraordinary cast and crew. This is a day I will remember for the rest of my life.”

Jeremy Renner, who was also nominated for an Oscar last year for his role in "The Hurt Locker," told CNN that he's "truly overwhelmed with gratitude by this recognition by the Academy this morning. I'm smiling from ear to ear knowing that lightning can strike twice and it feels electrifying. I'm thrilled to be amongst these tremendously talented artists. A big congratulations to all the nominees!"

And for "How to Train Your Dragon" writers/directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, this morning's nominations for the best animated feature and best original score was an "unbelievable thrill and an honor," Sanders told CNN.

"I honestly couldn't sleep last night in anticipation of the announcement," Sanders added. "When I was a kid I watched the Oscars with my grandmother – we never missed a broadcast. I could never have imagined that as kid growing up in Colorado I would have a chance to be a part of this amazing thing. DreamWorks gave us a place where we were free to create and pushed us to never ever stop short of the best we could do."

DeBlois added, "I'm actually on my way to the Van Nuys immigration and naturalization office for a biometrics (fingerprinting) appointment. I'm looking at the Oscar nom as a good sign! Maybe they'll let me stick around and become a citizen now!"

A.R. Rahman, who got word of his Oscar nominations for best original score and best original song for “127 Hours” upon landing in Zürich, said he’s pleased to be nominated.

His first Oscar nomination and win came in 2009 for “Slumdog Millionaire.”

There’s no pressure this time, he said.

Director David O. Russell, whose film "The Fighter" snagged seven Oscar nominations, said in a statement that he's "beyond grateful" for the recognition.

"Actually, I am over the moon as it is an extremely competitive year of such really good films and talented directors," Russell went on. "Here's to the people of Lowell who are hard working, regular people with huge hearts. Our characters are great because of these everyday people who never give up. They inspired such powerful performances by gutsy actors who were a director's gift: Christian Bale, Mark Wahlberg, Melissa Leo, Amy Adams, Jack McGee and the seven sisters. I'm so truly grateful to everybody who worked on this movie. I owe an incredible debt of gratitude to Mark Wahlberg – he's the man - without him this movie would not have been made. Like Micky Ward, it looks like we're going to have very interesting 6th and 7th rounds.”

Michelle Williams, who received "Blue Valentine's" only Oscar nomination with a best actress nod, chimed in with this statement: “I am honored to receive this nomination. Making Blue Valentine was unlike any experience I've ever had before, or may ever have again. I share this recognition with Ryan and Derek who always brought out the best in me. Thank you to the Academy and to The Weinstein Company for their support of this film.”

Mark Ruffalo, who is nominated in the best supporting actor category for his role in "The Kids Are All Right," had this to say: “It is with great honor and humility that I receive my Oscar nomination. I have been included with a group of top-notch actors who I respect and admire. I am humbled to be in their presence. I also would like to acknowledge the power of ensemble acting. The kind of acting that happened in this movie does not exist in a bubble. Any honor that I receive must be shared with Julianne Moore, Annette Bening, Josh Hutcherson, Mia Wasikowska, the rest of the cast, and of course the inimitable Lisa Cholodenko. Thank you to the Academy. This nomination is a win for Marriage Equality and that is the most I could hope for.”

83rd annual Academy Awards: List of nominees

Oscar nominations: Who got snubbed?

It's not surprising that "The King's Speech" is up for a whopping 12 Oscars, or that the Academy has plenty of love for “The Social Network,” but there are quite a few names left off this morning's Oscar nominations list that have some crying "snubbed!"

Nearly everyone is surprised that while three of Mark Wahlberg’s co-stars in “The Fighter” are nominated – Melissa Leo and Amy Adams are dueling in the best supporting actress category while Christian Bale is nominated for best supporting actor – Wahlberg himself didn’t make the best actor category.

The same goes for Ryan Gosling, who was skipped over for a best actor nomination while his “Blue Valentine” co-star Michelle Williams is up for a best actress Oscar. Paul Giamatti, fresh off his Golden Globe win for best actor in a comedy/musical for his “Barney’s Version” role, was also left out.


Among the actresses, some of you have noted that "Black Swan" stars Mila Kunis and Barbara Hershey are curiously missing from the best supporting actress nominations. Julianne Moore may have competed with Annette Bening for the best actress in a comedy/musical Golden Globe with her “Kids Are All Right” role but she won’t get the opportunity at this year’s Academy Awards.

And while “Inception” is nominated for best picture of the year, Christopher Nolan didn’t make the cut in the best direction category, which sparked a fury of "where's Nolan?!" outrage across the Web. (Let's say you could replace one of the currently nominated directors with Nolan, though....who would it be?)

The "Social Network" may have 8 Oscar nods, but none of them are for actors Andrew Garfield or Justin Timberlake, although a few of you aren't at all surprised by that.

It's also worth noting - as many of you point out - that after the success of "Precious" at last year's Academy Awards (winning both the best adapted screenplay Oscar and a best supporting actress statuette for Mo'Nique) the list of nominees this year is far less diverse. On the heels of Kathryn Bigelow taking the best direction Oscar and becoming the first woman to do so, this year's direction category is all male.

Says commenter JP, "Good to see all the actors and actresses of color nominated this year. At least they dragged Mo'Nique out to help present the nominees. That was so transparent. Oh well, something of color was nominated, the Black Swan. The very best that movies have to offer. Really?"

Commenter PoohBear70 adds, "Congrats to all of the Nominees. However, I take exception to the fact that there absolutely NO African Americans nominated in just about every category at all this year. While I've seen all of these movies, and critics didn't like or care for the movie "For Colored Girls;" some of those women gave excellent performances and at least ONE of them should've been nominated even there was no chance of them winning! (i.e. Anika Nonee Rose, Thandie Newton, Kimberly Elise). I'm white and don't agree with the academy's consistent dislike, disdain and faithfully leaving out minorities in which some who are very talented, gave raving performances."

But, commenter Grondahl has a rebuttal: "Precious, in case you forgot, was gripping, painful, and a powerful experience, if a little uneven. It deserved every award it received or was nominated for. To toss a few nominations at For Colored Girls, a middling movie in every respect, would be throwing the proverbial bone, and that would be far more insulting than snubbing it for nominations it doesn't deserve."

This leads to the question of another possible snub - do you think Oscar winner Halle Berry should have gotten a nod for her "Frankie & Alice" role (the same one that earned the actress a Golden Globe nod in the best actress category)?

LEVI'S LOVELY

Stepping out to support her sister, Zoe Saldana attended the Levi's Shape What's To Come cocktail party celebrating female achievement in film in Park City, Utah on January 22. Zoe's film producer sister Cisely was being honored at the event, and sources say that Zoe was ever the proud sister. The Avatar actress took pictures of Cisely while she posed and enjoyed her joyous moment; Zoe even coached Cisely on the interviews she was participating in! So cute - gotta love sisterly support! Side note, I can totally see the resemblance between these two, can't you? For her supportive ensemble, Zoe started with a pair of super flattering Levi's Curve ID jeans in Slight Curve, and from there wore a basic black camisole (like Wilt's Henley Tank in Black) under a uniquely patterned metallic jacket. Get the look in a somewhat more subtle way with True Grit's Zip Jacket in Black. From there, Zoe wore a pair of black leather boots and toted an oversized leather tote. For something similar, check out Julie K Handbags' Robin in Black, or for a tote with more of a hobo silhouette, try Alexander Wang's Darcy Slouchy Hobo in Black. A vibrant lip and a smokey eye completed ZS' ensemble. I think she looks great, and you can totally tell how proud she is of her sis. Adorable!

CASUAL LUNCH DATE

Still going strong with her sporty man, Cameron Diaz makes a quite exit after enjoying lunch with Alex Rodriguez in Hollywood on January 15. The super lowkey couple enjoyed a quiet bite to eat before leaving separately – most likely in an attempt to confuse the paps about their relationship status, but after almost a year of doing this I don't think they're fooling anyone! For her laidback lunch date, Cameron played it casual in an open knit pullover sweater (check out Heather's Long Sleeve Raglan Top in Heather White) over a white tank, faded skinnies (like 7 For All Mankind's classic Roxanne in New York Dark) and a pair of cognac pull-on boots (try Farylrobin's Lottie Chelsea Boot in Brown with comfy stretch sides). Cam carried an ivory oversized tote (check out Julie K Handbags' Allison in Cream Kobra) and accessorized with a pair of thin bangles and a pretty jade ring (try Megan Greene's unique Daphne Ring in Gold/Mint). What do you think of Cameron's laidback style, are you a fan of the open circle design on her sweater? I think it's an interesting style but I wish she was wearing a contrast cami underneath to liven things up. I'm also not sure if it's the wind, but a little grooming would help too! Cameron and A-Rod are back in LA after a brief vacay in Hawaii, where they were spotted flaunting their chiseled bods on the beach. The vacay came at a perfect time too, as Cam's new action flick The Green Hornet debuted at #1 in the box office last weekend. Looks like 2011 is definitely off to a successful start for Cameron!

NOTEBOOK NONSENSE

Continuing her worldly travels, Rachel McAdams heads to Paris, France for a Morning Glory photo call with co-star Harrison Ford on January 14. For her daytime appearance, Rach played with prints in an Isabel Marant mini (check out Meghan Los Angeles' Katrina Dress in Black/Grey or Diane von Furstenberg's Arely Wrap Dress in Multi for similar flirty styles) with black tights, patent pumps (like Coye Nokes' Jacqueline Pump in Black Embossed Python) and a silver clasp bracelet (try Liquid Metal's Dark Nickel Bracelet with Clear Crystal in Silver). What do you think of Rach's look here? I have to say her hair is by far the best I've seen on her in awhile, the soft waves add a flattering touch of drama to what could otherwise have been a very modest look. This is Rachel's third appearance in Europe so far, appearing in Berlin the night before and in London two days before that. Talk about a whirlwind press tour! Morning Glory came out in the US months ago, and will actually be released on DVD in March, but in the flick Rach plays an adorably naïve, relationship challenged young woman in stark contrast to her irresistibly romantic role in The Notebook. The Nicholas Sparks adaptation that made Rach famous might have set the bar for countless real-life romances, but Rachel's co-star and former beau Ryan Gosling recently shared in an interview that he thinks the classic love story is actually a relationship killer: "People would come up to me and tell me that they thought it was romantic, but one guy told me that he was engaged and his fiancée broke up with him after that movie because she said to him, You wouldn’t build a house for me, would you?’ He was like, ‘Well, no, but I don’t know how.’ She said, ‘But if you knew how?’ He said, ‘No, I wouldn’t. But it doesn’t mean I don’t love you.’ She said, ‘Yeah, it does.’ And she called it off." Yikes! I have to wonder if the film's idealistic portrayal of happily ever after had a negative affect on Ryan and Rach's real-life romance – what do you think?

THE NEW FACE

Making her way to a business meeting, Katie Holmes was spotted walking to an office building in Los Angeles on January 18. Katie looked a little glum as she made her way about the day – maybe she's stressing over her frizzy tresses? Mrs. Tom Cruise put a playful spin on professional dress for her meeting, wearing a pair of cuffed dot printed trousers and a chic button down blouse with rolled sleeves (put a spin on the look with Joes Jeans' sophisticated Drop Pocket Bag Pant in Black with Joie's Rio Top in Navy). Katie paired her look with black pumps (try Loeffler Randall's Wood Heel Pump in Black), a patent handbag (love Rocco e Dante Handbags' Olivia Bag in Blue) and a gold charm necklace (check out Ariel Gordon's Large Circle Pendant Necklace in Gold). What do you think of Katie's look? I definitely think she needs some help with her hair, anything to turn that frown upside down! While Katie's career hit a bit of a roadblock this week with the announcement that The History Channel will not be airing the mini-series The Kennedys which starred Katie as the famous Jackie O, she does have an exciting new prospect on the horizon as the new face of Ann Taylor. Last week the classic retailer announced Katie will succeed Heidi Klum as a spokesmodel for the brand and will appear in the spring ad campaign beginning in March. Christine Beauchamp, President of Ann Taylor Stores Corp, chatted with WWD about their decision: "Katie personifies the Ann Taylor brand — smart, talented, incredibly chic and living a full life with beauty and grace. We admire and respect Katie for her intellect, kindness and enduring personal style." Katie continued: "I applaud women who are doing their best to be the best versions of themselves and who are working really hard. And I’m glad that there is a store like Ann Taylor that can offer amazing styles for the many different roles that women play." Sounds like this career move is going to work out far better than her TV series!

Kim Kardashian wants to have a mini Kris Humphries

Things seem to be getting serious between Kim Kardashian and her latest beau, Kris Humphries: The 30-year-old "Kourtney & Kim Take New York" star has been dating the New Jersey Nets player since December but is already fantasizing about having his baby.

"I want my son to look like this!" Kardashian tweeted on Sunday, including a childhood photo of 25-year-old Humphries.

Despite wanting to make babies with the basketball star, Kardashian isn't rushing into motherhood any time soon.

In a radio interview last year, the reality TV star said she's perfectly content just playing auntie to big sis Kourtney's 13-month-old son Mason.

"Let's just say Mason is the best birth control ever!" said Kardashian, who recently lashed out at MTV's "Teen Mom" for the increase in high-school pregnancies. "I'm definitely happy to wait awhile."
