George Clooney, Jennifer Garner Wow At National Board of Review Awards
January 24th, 2008
George Clooney, with girlfriend Sarah Larson in tow, yuks it up with everyone he can at the National Board of Review Awards, where he is being honored for best actor in Michael Clayton.
He grabs my arm and gives me a knowing wink. Where does he keep his awards? “I have a room,” he says. “I actually have a room. I have one [award].”
How does he feel about the acclaim for his role? “It’s definitely better than feeling terrible about it later,” self-deprecating George says.
What does co-star Tilda Swinton think of the couple? “I love Sarah,” she says. “She’s a beautiful girl, really beautiful. I never knew him before he was with her, but he seems pretty happy to me.”
Here’s the mesmerizing Jennifer Garner. When a Spanish TV presenter from Calle Que Calle asks Mrs. Affleck if he can kiss her hand, she obliges. As she lifts her blinged-out hand, Jennifer coos, “bless your heart.”
Hubby Ben, who wins best directorial debut for Gone Baby Gone, moves through separately. His best supporting actor brother Casey’s lips are sealed about his new baby.
Best actress winner Julie Christie isn’t sure if her jewels are Bvlgari – or if they’re even real — while Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones sail through.
Honoree Javier Bardem is thrilled to see his old buddy from Spain’s Calle Que Calle, who whips out a fake Oscar in case the prestigious awards show doesn’t happen due to the writers’ strike.
Denzel Washington, who accompanies his Great Debaters co-star Jurnee Smollett, says the cast “picked themselves. They stood out. It was a good feeling.”
Meanwhile, Emily Mortimer doesn’t feel badly about leaving her son Sam, 4, with their “fabulous” Serbian au pair. “He’s pleased when we go out because he gets to stay up late and have fun with her,” Mrs. Alessandro Nivola says.
Best director winner Tim Burton has a little one at home, too. How’s the month-old daughter he shares with Helena Bonham Carter? “Good, I think,” he tells me.
Speaking of family, here’s Glenn Close and her 20-year-old daughter Annie. Does she like coming to these events?
“It’s very good,” Annie laughs. “I’m blinded, but it’s great.”
Oh, and here’s Phil Donahue and wife Marlo Thomas. “Our film is titled Body of War,” he tells me. “It’ll be in a theater near you soon, and I hope you’ll come. I’ll park your car.”
What an offer!
Helena Bonham Carter Has a Baby Girl
December 15th, 2007 / Author: cwillett
Helena Bonham Carter welcomed a baby girl on Dec. 14. This latest arrival is the second child for the actress and Tim Burton, 49, who are already parents to son Billy-Ray, 4.
The 41-year-old actress confirmed her pregnancy in August after photos of her growing belly surfaced and, in October, openly discussed the fertility issues she faced conceiving her second child. After trying the drug Clomid and acupuncture, the couple considered in vitro fertilization before discovering she was pregnant.
Helena worked through her pregnancy, filming the musical Sweeney Todd, directed by Tim. The film hits theaters Dec. 21.

The elephant in the room at the Emmys on Sunday night won’t be The Sopranos’ last hurrah or (possibly) Justin Timberlake’s “D*ck in a Box,” but rather even more precious – and hidden – cargo. As OK! exclusively confirmed, a five-months pregnant Christina Aguilera is set to perform at the award show.
It’s the third confirmation in as many months regarding the “Dirrty” singer’s maternal ways. Celebrity Baby Blog first confirmed the news in June. Paris Hilton inadvertently gave a shout-out to the glowing mom-to-be over the weekend. The only person who has yet to confirm the happy news is Christina herself.
“I think Christina probably figured that the news was already out there and there was no need for her to make an announcement,” Sarah Michaud, Celebrity Baby Blog news editor, tells OK!, adding that numerous outlets confirmed the news through their own sources.
“Plus, Christina completely changed her clothing style, her mother had commented, and Christina herself pointed at her growing belly [on tour]. By the time the tour was over, she probably thought an official announcement was pretty pointless – it will be totally obvious soon enough.”
The 26-year-old Grammy winner, who is due in January with her and husband Jordan Bratman’s first child, isn’t the only star who likes to keep mum on growing bumps.
Funny Aussie Isla Fisher never announced or confirmed her pregnancy either, only first speaking out about it in her seventh month while promoting Hot Rod in July. Summer Phoenix and Helena Bonham Carter are both due by the end of the year and just confirmed they were expecting in the past month after getting snapped in public looking obviously with child. In February, Escada released a statement hawking the custom empire gown they made to accommodate Naomi Watts’ belly for the Oscars, but the actress never uttered a peep about it. It was Liev Schreiber who casually announced it nights later on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Baby Alexander Pete (a.k.a. Sasha) was born July 25.
So why the sly holdups? Is it because it’s no one’s business? Are they toying with everyone?
Yes to both, Sarah believes. Jill Hennessy, expecting her second child in November, joked her buxom belly was due to “beer and burritos” last month, and not pregnancy before coughing up the truth.
“I think a lot of them think it’s funny,” Sarah says, while others are just trying to keep something for themselves living in the public eye. “Some people want to shout it from the rooftops, but there are other celebrities who are more private and make a clear effort to separate their work and home life. If it doesn’t have to do with their work, it’s not something they need to be discussing with the press.”
Persistent pregnancy rumors may also be a factor too, possibly turning many actresses off from sharing their news – and perhaps even struggles. Jennifer Lopez’s midsection has been the focus of lenses since she married Marc Anthony in 2004, and rumors are heating up again after the mogul was caught in a loose-fitting dress at Fashion Week. But Jen isn’t saying anything. “Being asked constantly when you’re either just married or are having trouble getting pregnant can be extremely stressful and possibly hurtful.”
But in the end, it’s really up to the celebrities to disclose the news, and if they don’t, no one ought to hold it against them, even though it may be easy to do so. It’s not part of their job descriptions to promote their offspring.
“It’s their prerogative,” Sarah says. “While many celebrities [are open about their families], it’s important to realize that the celebrity owes us nothing beyond the job that they do – whether that be singing, acting, writing, etc. Anything personal they reveal or share past that is just extra.”
Plus, the guessing game’s always fun too.
“Our readers love to guess if a woman is or isn’t pregnant, and if they haven’t announced the sex, they love to guess it based on old wives’ tales.”
So what do you think Christina’s having?
