Is a Canceled Flight to Blame for Julianna Margulies' Odd Emmys Gown?

September 19, 2011 at 12:12 PM | by | Comments (0)

Though she looked calm, cool, and collected at last night's Emmy Awards, Julianna Margulies had some drama getting from New York City to Los Angeles on Saturday.

During a red carpet interview, the Emmy winner told Ryan Seacrest, "There's a long story of how I got here, our flight was canceled, my husband (Keith Lieberthal) and I ended up in coach, sitting in the middle, away from each other...but we made it, and now we're having a good time." In an attempt to pay The Good Wife actress a compliment Ryan said, "You look as if you flew first class" and Julianna quickly replied, "no I like to fly coach...but y'know what, that should be everyone's problem."

August 29, 2011 at 12:22 PM | by | Comment (1)

While the rest of us were scrambling for days trying to rearrange delayed flights out of New York and New Jersey, The Jersey Shore cast got a free ride out of the Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on Saturday, courtesy of MTV.

The network wanted the cast in Los Angeles for Sunday night's VMAs so badly that they chartered a private jet as area airports were canceling commercial flights thanks to Hurricane Irene. "We had to get out here for the VMAs," Vinny said after arriving in L.A. "MTV did whatever they could to get us out here. We wouldn't miss it for the world."

Does Nicki Minaj's New Video 'Fly' Make Light of Airplane Crashes?

August 29, 2011 at 10:03 AM | by | Comments (0)

Okay, we have a problem. When did crashed airplanes become cool?

Last night during the MTV Video Music Awards, Winner of best R&B video Nicki Minaj premiered her newest video, Fly, featuring Rihanna. We were like, oh cool—it's called "Fly," so let's see. And then about two seconds into the video, we noticed she's dancing all around the charred shell of a Boeing 747. What the heck?

According to MTV News, the concept for the video revolves around the apocalypse, which Minaj and Rihanna have survived. They're in a neighborhood, complete with suburban homes, except there's now the addition of burnt and crashed cars, the 747 and—crazy as this sounds—some sort of rocket or space shuttle.

Now that the Academy Awards are over and the celebrities have fled to their vacation homes to bask in the glory of a owning a statuette or wallow in self-pity for losing, we can talk about what everybody at the Oscars got regardless: the swag bag. Winners, losers...everybody gets gifted with free stuff! Last year's gift bag was valued at $91,000; will this year's top it?

Get One Final Oscars Fix with a Tour of the Kodak Theatre

February 28, 2011 at 10:58 AM | by | Comments (0)

Even though the Academy Awards have all been handed out and some celebrities are back to wearing their pajamas, you might still need a little more of an Oscar fix over the next few days. There’s no Oscar Museum yet—they’re working on one—but you can always visit the home of the award ceremony at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. There won’t be any famous faces or thankfully any hosts—was it just us, or were Franco and Hathaway just awful?—but there are plenty of the golden statues.

The theatre is still hard at work cleaning things up after all of the weekend’s festivities, so you have to wait to take your tour until this Saturday. Once the tours open back up, you can expect a 30-minute tour through the facility where you can stop to in the George Eastman VIP Room and other spots where the in-crowd hangs out before and after the show. If you’re lucky they might even let you walk out onto the stage, but just remember not to start in with your acceptance speech.

August 30, 2010 at 11:35 AM | by | Comments (0)

Emmy nominees don't just run into each other at the ceremony; they spend the weekend partying at various events around Los Angeles.

On Friday night, the place to be was the EW Women in Film Pre-Emmy Party held at the Sunset Marquis Hotel.

True Blood's Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, and Joe Manganiello schmoozed with fellow Mad Men nominees Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss, while the cast of Modern Family hung out with Sharon Stone and Glenn Close. It was definitely a who's who of TV stars and a chance to celebrate before the winners were announced.

Don't feel too bad for Gabourey Sidibe, George Clooney or the other Oscar nominees who lost last night. Even though they're losers in the 2010 Academy Awards, they still get to take home a sweet "condolence" gift bag worth $91,000 to help ease their pain.

One Year Later, 'Slumdog Millionaire' Stars Jetsetting Couple

November 20, 2009 at 10:29 AM | by | Comment (1)

Last year, audiences around the world watched as Jamal and Latika (spoiler alert!) reunited for a Bollywood-style dance on a Mumbai train platform. Now Dev Patel and Freida Pinto, the stars of Best Picture Winner "Slumdog Millionaire," are a jet-setting couple chasing their next big projects all over the globe.

The young actors, British and Indian by birth respectively, were spotted recently at LAX after a romantic lunch at La Conversation Cafe in Los Angeles. Pinto recently finished filming her role as the title character in "Miral," a drama about adoption shot in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Israel with Best Director nominee Julian Schnabel. Now, she's filming Woody Allen's new movie "You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger" in London with Naomi Watts and Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Nobel Prize Winner In Literature Afraid To Go Home To Romania

October 8, 2009 at 1:28 PM | by | Comments (0)

This must be the best day ever for all you Herta Müller fans! In case you're not caught up on modern literature, Müller is the 2009 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, announced this morning in Stockholm.

Müller lives and works in Germany now, but grew up in Communist Romania under dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, and many of her books describe the plight of young people in a controlling regime. She revealed in an essay penned earlier this summer for the online magazine Sign and Sight that she is afraid to travel in Romania even now because she believes members of the government are still following her.

Super World Travelers Look Bored At Oscar Fashions

February 23, 2009 at 9:58 AM | by | Comments (0)

We promised we wouldn't drop the r-word again, but something must have attacked Hollywood to end up with such a blah year for dresses. The color everyone seemingly decided on was white -- and its brothers off-white and cream -- which looks great on the red carpet (and the women who wore it!) but just didn't make us say "wow." Even the world's first couple, Super World Travelers Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, went for that other award-show standby -- black. (She was in Elie Saab.) There wasn't a swan gown in sight, and we feel kind of bad about that.

Can We Get This Award To Go?

February 9, 2009 at 11:09 AM | by | Comments (5)

A host of award shows brought some celebrities out, but not all of them: Gwyneth Paltrow attended the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles in a sparkly Burberry number to support husband Chris Martin, whose band Coldplay performed with the backing of a marching band; Katy Perry, who was up for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (but lost to British singer Adele), performed in a Carmen Miranda-esque fruit ensemble.

Kate Winslet picked up a statue for Best Leading actress at the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) in London, for which she was nominated both for her role in "The Reader" and "Revolutionary Road." She posed on the red carpet with presenter Daniel Craig. Less than two weeks till the Oscars! And speaking of the Oscars, Jessica Biel appeared in Oscar de la Renta at the Academy Awards' Scientific and Technical Awards Saturday night to give out all the little gold men that don't fit into the telecast.

But award shows aren't always the trip worth taking: Angelina Jolie arrived at the BAFTAs after a visit to a refugee camp in Thailand for cyclone victims from Myanmar, proving she still thinks some things are important than her career. (She and fellow Super World Traveler Brad Pitt were both up for leading awards; Jolie lost to Winslet, above, while Pitt lost to Mickey Rourke.) And last year's Grammy darling Amy Winehouse, who performed via satellite when she was not granted a visa to travel to L.A. for the ceremony, skipped the festivities altogether: Rumor has it she is staying in Jamaica to record her third album within reach of, uh, "inspirations." Well, there's always next year.
