Colin Farrell Shows Us How To Wear A Hat

Yes, TSA made him take it off for screening: Colin Farrell left LAX for parts unknown for the holidays. (We're guessing his native land of Ireland, but that's just a shot in the dark.) JustinBobby, we hope you are taking fashion notes.

Farrell may have just been nominated for a Golden Globe for his movie "In Bruges"--a sort of dark travel fable in itself, in which he and Brendan Gleeson are stuck in Bruges with nothing to do--but even he couldn't get to Seattle for love or money. The Pacific Northwest is this year's Denver, with one memorable difference: Since Seattle isn't a hub like Denver is, the masses are stuck at home in their originating cities--they couldn't even fly in.

And forget going by ground: A Seattle-bound Amtrak Empire Builder train was delayed in Chicago yesterday due to steady snowfall there--and is expected to let all its passengers out in St. Paul instead of risking the journey West. But hey, at least Santa can get in, right?

Sundance A Little Less Starstruck This Year

What? You weren't at Sundance this weekend? It's okay, you weren't alone; apparently many stars stayed away out of deference to the WGA strike or fear of the paparazzi gauntlet they would face. Variety reported that A-list attendance was much lower than in recent years, despite a bumper crop of high-profile movies like the "U2" concert film "U23D" and Robert DeNiro's "What Just Happened?"

Not that Sundance was completely out of star cameos. Colin Farrell flirted with publicity reps while promoting his crime caper "In Bruges," and Mary-Kate Olson fielded 45,000 questions about what it was like to make out with Ben Kingsley for their movie "The Wackness," in which he plays a pot-smoking psychologist. But there was no playtime for Diego Luna and Sandra Oh; they were too busy voting on the Sundance jury along with Quentin Tarantino and Marcia Gay Harden. Someone's got to pick out the next "Little Miss Sunshine!"
