Even though the men were being recognized, starlets like January Jones, Kim Kardashian and Olivia Wilde, wearing a wonderfully white Marchesa mini, out shined the the presence of testosterone at the 14th Annual GQ Men of the Year Party. The ladies were all gussied-up for the event last night at L.A.’s exclusive Chateau Marmont. Alexander Skarsgard, Clint Eastwood, Emile Hirsch and Morgan Freeman represented the men on the red carpet.

Salma Hayek Jokes, Anne Hathaway Meets A Man
January 15th, 2009
Salma Hayek brings on the laughs during the National Board of Review Awards Gala, which takes place Wednesday at NYC’s Cipriani.
The actress is here on behalf of her pal Penelope Cruz, who wins best supporting actress for Vicky Cristina Barcelona. She can’t attend because she is filming Nine.
“Penelope sent me to accept her award, which would be fine if she gave me a letter, a note, bullet points or something,” Salma says in her exotic Mexican accent. “She only gave me a dedication, which I will tell you at the end, but I think it would be appropriate to thank the caterers of the movie because the food in Spain is so fantastic. I’m sure the drinks were excellent at lunch, because they always have wine there. I also find it appropriate to say that the hair and makeup department did a fantastic job at pretending they were destroying her beauty when the character was devastated.”
She continues, “Woody Allen – when I found out they were going to be working together, I knew there was a match made in heaven because he is the only person that I know who is almost as hypochondriac as Penelope. But she is extremely grateful to Woody for creating these amazing characters. I’d like to also thank the National Board of Review for voting for her, and I’d like to congratulate you for your impeccable taste.”
Anne Hathaway, who is here with her mom, dad, director Jonathan Demme and manager, will collect best actress for Rachel Getting Married this evening.
“I kind of expect them to say ‘all right, here’s the man behind the curtain … it’s not really real,’” Anne says.
She continues, “I have lots of confidence, but this is so far beyond the realm of normal confidence. This is like ‘kick me in my head with a sledgehammer,’ and if I wake up, then it’s real.”
The single star shrieks when she sees Slumdog Millionaire star – and winner of breakthrough performance by an actor — Dev Patel, who was just telling me how much he’d love to meet her but he’s afraid he’d be too starstruck.
Anne: “That’s my favorite performance of the season. It is so beautiful, just gorgeous. The acting was brilliant, and it was one of the most heartfelt movies I’ve ever seen. It was a glorious time at the movies.”
Dev: “That means so much to me, you don’t understand. Thank you Mrs. Hathaway.”
Anne: “Oh no, it’s Miss, Miss, Miss.”
Dev: “Oh God, I’m offending her now.”
Anne: “No, you’re not offending me, I’m just letting you know that it’s Miss.”
When Anne heads inside, I ask Dev if he’d ask Anne out on a date because she seems interested. “She’s a bit out of my league,” he tells me. “She’s beautiful. I can’t believe it. I was just talking about it. I can’t believe she came up to me and said those lovely things.”
Heather Graham slides in as Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber troll through. Ooh! Later in the evening, I catch up with them about their new baby, shedding the baby weight and their romance.
Oops, Meryl Streep misplaces an item, but finds it. (Whew!)
Is Amy Adams – who wins best ensemble cast for Doubt — hoping for Oscar gold come February?
“I don’t think about it,” she says. “I take it one day at a time. The reward of doing a film like this is the award, you know? This is the icing, and I’m just grateful to be here tonight. I try to take it one day at a time when it comes to this kind of stuff.”
Here is Clint Eastwood, who wins best actor for Gran Torino. Is he really going to retire? “I keep talking about it all the time,” he says. “But my wife doesn’t want me to hang around the house too much.”
The dinner bell rings. It’s time for steak, green beans and peppers, topped off with a dessert of tiramisu and strawberries. Mmm!
During the ceremony, volatile Josh Brolin gets annoyed during his acceptance speech after host Whoopi Goldberg pronounces his name as Josh “Brollin.” He wins best supporting actor for Milk.
The View host apologizes. “I’m wearing Invisalign and it keeps slipping,” Whoopi says. “Josh Brolin, Josh Brolin, Josh Brolin.”
Whoops!
As for the gift bag? It includes Bvlgari’s Jasmin Noir perfume.
Clint Eastwood: Not Going Anywhere
December 4th, 2008
At an age when most people have retired from their careers and are focused on just relaxing after yaers of hard work, at 78, Clint Eastwood says he’s not done making movies yet. In fact, he’s ready to take even more risks.
“When you’re young, you’re very reckless,” he tells Parade.com. “Then you get conservative. Then you get reckless again.”
In recent years Clint has moved from leading man on screen to playing tougher roles, as well as taking on the new job of director, a shift that has him far from ready to stop.
“I just ran into a guy a little younger than me,” he reveals. “He says, ‘I’m going to retire.’ I say, ‘Wait for me. Keep going.’ Everybody in my generation, once you get in the seventh decade, they go, ‘Well, what the hell. I’m on bonus time. Let me retire. ‘ "
As for getting older on screen, Clint is the last to shy away from his age, instead, he’s embracing it, with roles like his latest part as a racist Korean war vet in Gran Torino, which he also directed.
“I’d always tried to resist playing the supervirility thing,” he explains. “I liked showing the vulnerability of age.”
And even if his fans might be upset by this latest character, or any he chooses to portray, Clint’s not too worried.
“I’m going to touch a chord, or they’re going to run me out of town,” he says. After all, as The Changeling director says, “What can they do to you after 70?”
Angelina: Children the Center of My Life
November 12th, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff
It’s no secret that Angelina Jolie cherishes the role of mother she plays in everyday life to children Pax, Zahara, Maddox, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox, alongside partner Brad Pitt, but the role she played onscreen Changeling may have directly inspired her reality.
"I got pregnant right in the middle of it and I think partially because of it," she tells the L.A. Times of the challenging role of playing a mother who loses her child. "I was so emotional about children that I think something in me kicked into gear."

For Angie, who says, "the center of my life is my kids," life as a mom is complicated by the fact that she and Brad are both busy working actors, which results in some tough times and big yawns.
"I woke up at 3 in the morning with four kids with jet lag and two babies," she said of the day she appeared at a recent Hollywood Film Festival Awards gala where Clint Eastwood, who directed Changeling, was being honored. "I put myself together for a few hours and go out. And then I go home. This is my job."
Job or no job, Angelina says she doesn’t hate having to come to L.A., but would rather be out on the road with her traveling family.
"I don’t dislike it here," she admits of Hollywood. "I just really do love to travel. I love other cultures. And I love raising my kids in the world. I’m so fortunate that I get to do that."

Susan Sarandon’s Amazing Birthday Gift!
October 29th, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff
Apparently a nice new pair of socks isn’t a good enough birthday gift for Susan Sarandon’s husband.
Instead, she surprised Tim Robbins on his 50th birthday with a movie that had taken her a year to produce!
As well as messages from, amongst others, Clint Eastwood, Bruce Springsteen, Kevin Costner and Jack Black — plus a skit by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert — Susan even managed to dig up ancient footage of the Shawshank star at camp!
"He was so shocked," Susan told OK! at a Vacheron Constantin party in New York, "it almost killed him! I was very proud of myself."
You better get thinking Tim, because that’s a tough gift to follow!

Angelina: Thrilling to Work With Clint
October 17th, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff
As a mother of six, Angelina Jolie says she was tempted to turn down the role of Christine Collins in Changeling, a movie about a woman who loses her son to kidnappers, because of her own fears as a mom.
"I read it in one sitting," Angelina says in an interview for ABC News Now’s "Popcorn With Peter Travers."
"And I was so angry as a mother that I didn’t want to do it, I didn’t want to touch it, I didn’t want to think about anyone kidnapping my children. I didn’t want to go near it," she confesses. "But I couldn’t forget it and I couldn’t stop thinking about her and I kept telling people about this amazing woman and so I realized that her story and the story of what she overcame and that she fought the system and who she was and I really wanted to tell it.

However when legendary actor and director Clint Eastwood called to offer her the part, Angie just couldn’t say no.
"I got the phone call that he was, he was definitely going to do it and was OK with me doing it and I was jumping around the house," she reveals. "It was like getting my first job, I was thrilled. And it was everything and more that I hoped it would be as an experience."
The two Hollywood heavyhitters have big families in common – Clint is a father of seven – and Angie and partner Brad Pitt are almost as famous for their growing family as their movie roles.
"The important thing is you can only censor so much," she says of the constant attention globetrotters Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne attract.
"They’ll find things. They’ll find it at a friend’s house. You’ve got to make sure they get enough good stuff and nice stories and good messages at home and got some purity to it. But I think it’s also making sure they have a life outside all that pop culture and making sure they travel and see the world, they go outside enough and play dress up, and do all those things children should be doing so they get balance, so their mind is balanced," she said.
