Who was Meryl Streep wearing when she won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy-Musical? It wasn’t Versace. It wasn’t Dolce & Gabbana. It wasn’t Chanel. She wore Chris March. Who’s Chris March you may ask? Continue reading »
Wanna buy a piece of Golden Globes history while helping to fund the relief efforts in Haiti? Of course you do, but you probably can’t afford it. Still, we think its awesome that hard working mama Amy Poehler and a few of her Hollywood associates have decided to auction off their red carpet threads on eBay to help raise money for a great cause.

Meryl Streep took home a statuette at Sunday Night’s 67th Annual Golden Globes ceremony by beating out…Meryl Streep. The actress won for her portrayal of chef Julia Child in “Julie & Julia,” and was competing against herself – she was also nominated for “It’s Complicated.” In a speech that would make any parent proud, Streep recalled her late mother and her “joy in living.”
Sitting down with Tavis Smiley in an interview airing tonight, Sandra Bullock shared her candid thoughts about racism, a mother’s love and how she plans to “take down Meryl Streep” when she steps up to claim her Golden Globe for best actress on Sunday. Obviously joking (unlike Sharon Stone with Meryl), Sandra made the remark as a means to deflect all the attention heaped upon her this season including her two Golden Globe nods, making history with the first female-centric film to cross $200 million in domestic box office and being named 09′s top star by U.S. movie theater owners.
In addition to teasing her fellow actress-nominee, Sandra turned serious when Tavis asked her to address the the negative comments and purported racism in The Blindside and what her thoughts were on playing yet “another rich white woman saving a poor black kid.”
In a very genuine response, Sandra replied “I didn’t see this as a black and white issue. I really didn’t. As Leigh Ann (the woman she portrays) said, ‘It’s a story about a mom looking at the child who is cold.’”
She then turned the table and asked Smiley why he thought people had to play the racism card, when the movie obviously touched upon so many other important issues. “It’s not just a movie about race,” she said, “It’s about trust and community and whether or not we would take in our neighbor if they needed it. It’s really all about loving your children and loving your fellow man. Why are people so quick to question love?”
To hear how Tavis replied, you can watch the interview tonight on PBS.

In an interview with Tatler, Sharon Stone said of fellow thespian Meryl Streep, “she looks like an unmade bed” and implied that it’s her “ordinary” (read: shlumpy) quality that people love and relate to. She went on to say that women look at Meryl and think, “she’s a mess, and look at me, I’m a mess too — I love her because she is me!”
An insult or a backhanded compliment? Hopefully the latter because actresses in botox glass houses should not throw stones. I love that Sharon Stone is “proud to share her age” (she’s 51), but can’t stand that she’s jumped on the “I’ve never done ANYTHING to my face EVER” bandwagon and that with her delicate collar bones jutting above her strapless gowns, she claims to “never diet.” Many moons ago I had the opportunity to dine at Sharon’s house (my husband and I were friends of her boyfriend at the time and summoned for dinner and a movie in the screening room!) and she was a beauty close up – even sans glitzy makeup and couture clothes. She’s a beauty today as well, but I find it VERY hard to believe that her ever youthful face (eerily more youthful than it was 12 or so years ago), has remained that way without a little help from an injection (or a peel or something!) here or there.
Forgive the digression…whether Sharon Stone has gone under the knife (or needle) or not isn’t really at issue here. It’s the fact that her comment threatened to take away from this year’s sexy senior sensation Streep, rather than celebrate her. Rather than equate her with rumpled sheets off screen, it would have been more appropriate to note that Streep, on screen at 60, has found herself quite comfortable between them!
Meryl Streep’s 23-year-old daughter, Grace Gummer, is getting her big acting break. She will be starring in a TV show called Gigantic on TeenNick.
