Blind Vice! Drugged-Out Diva Says No to Rehab!

Meet Soheila Stuff-It. She probably won't remember meeting you, but what difference does it really make?

‘Cause that's the way Soheila likes it—drugged up halfway to Brigadoon to escape the burdens of being the downtrodden diva that she is. And when she's not partaking in a dabble of this or a hit of that, you'll likely find her drowning at the bottom of a bottle.

It's all terribly, terribly sad. Which is why Ms. Stuff-It's peeps are desperate to get the star into treatment stat. To which the always stubborn Soheila says:

Hell, no!

See, Soheila hasn't exactly had an easy go of it lately (despite the fact that she has the most gorgeous hair!).

But instead of trying to get better or, ya know, even just talking about her issues, S2 prefers to handle things her own way. And a trip to rehab is so not on her To Do list anytime soon. Or ever, if Soheila has anything to say about it.

Which, actually, she does.

See, Ms. Stuff-It isn't a pushover. In fact, she's made a name for herself in this town by being a tough chick who doesn't back down.

Which is why we're so sad to see her destroying herself…again.

That's the other terribly, horribly sad thing about all this. This isn't the first time Soheila has spiraled. It's all happened before and even though she slapped a smile back on her face and chitchatted about how fab she was feeling, underneath Soheila was the same damaged, messed up broad she was before.

To which we say: Hey, Soheila, relapse happens. Heck, it's practically expected. But it's time you give up your pride—and partying—and straighten yourself out.

We have far more faith in you than, say, Morgan Mayhem or Mimi Kitten. And we just hate seeing you be so blasé about your life, babe.

Oh, and if you stop hooking up with bisexual men, Soheila, that too just might lead you on the way to recovery, just a suggestion!

AND IT AIN'T: Angelina Jolie, Kim Richards, Mischa Barton

Jason Wu For Target Launch Arrivals

2012-01-27T08:03:00.000-05:00

Fashion Designer Jason Wu attends the Jason Wu For Target Launch at Skylight SOHO in New York City last night. The Vogue magazine favourite's new line is sure to attract plenty of us budget conscious fashionistas.

Blake Lively also scored an invite.

Chloë Moretz looked somewhat age appropriate. I think there's been an effort to tone down Chloë. She's not trying to look sexy anymore, just grown-up.

Adriana Lima is on the cover of Vogue Brazil for February 2012. The Brazilian bombshell was photographed by André Passos.

Model Adriana Lima covers the February 2012 issue of GQ México photographed by Vincent Peters. I don't know why Adriana isn't more "fashion-famous". I think this Brazilian beauty is far more beautiful than Alessandra Ambrosio or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who get better campaigns and editorials.

Paris Haute Couture Spring 2012: Valentino

2012-01-26T08:43:00.000-05:00

Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week - Spring 2012 presents VALENTINO

Valentino created a romantic and delicate Haute Couture Spring 2012 collection. Floral prints and high collars, coupled with organza and lace. While I'm not a fan of floral prints, I think this collection is beautiful.

If you don't like this collection, you and I could never be friends. I would fight you. From the first dress to the last, I LOVE. If ever I could wear a designer's collection it would be this. Elie Saab Spring 2012 couture is GORGEOUS. Even the minty green pieces, and I hate green, but this is perfection. Delicate, feminine and romantic. How can you not love?

Demi Moore: Exhaustion My Ass

2012-01-25T09:45:00.000-05:00

Demi Moore was rushed to the hospital Monday night after a 911 call was placed from her home; her rep released this statement to TMZ:

"Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health. She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends."

Translation: Demi Moore fell off the damn wagon.

I think Hollywood needs to come up with a better excuse for a drug overdose. Severe food poisoning? Toxic shock syndrome? Either of those would be more believable than "exhaustion". I don't doubt that the break-up of her marriage and the overall ridicule she sustained was stressful. But nothing about Demi's work and home situation could cause her to be "exhausted". How many people do you know have been hospitalized for exhaustion? I have had two friends have mental breakdowns, but no "exhaustion" and I live in Canada, where health care is free. We show up at the doctor's for anything and everything.

Demi Moore is now seeking treatment for "exhaustion" at a private facility. This kind of smells like a career rehab to me. Get ready for the People magazine cover story, followed by the Barbara Walters interview.

How the Other Half Lives: Melanie Brown

2012-01-25T09:19:00.000-05:00

Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown has put her Tarzana area home on the market. The Los Angeles county French Country styled abode, features 5 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, within 8604 sq ft. The $3.45 million listing is presented by Charmaine DeGrate of Coldwell Banker – Beverly Hills South. I'm somewhat surprised because I actually thought Scary Spice's home would be tacky.

Givenchy presented their haute couture collection rather unconventionally. Models Joan Smalls, Stella Tennant, Ana Claudia Michels, Kristen McMenamy, Saskia de Brauw, Daria Strokous, Natasha Poly, Zuzanna Bijoch, Valerija Kelava, and Kati Nescher merely posed front and back, showcasing what I think are some unconventionally stunning dresses.

Coverin' It: Juju Ivanyuk on Elle France

2012-01-25T08:29:00.000-05:00

Russian beauty Juju Ivanyuk, photographed by Marcin Tyszka, is on the cover of Elle France for January 20, 2012.

I think Elle France picked the wrong cover model, because I'd be more partial to seeing Anne Sinclair alone on the cover. Sinclair gives an interesting interview about her marriage to serial cheater and alleged rapist Dominique Strauss-Kahn, stating that:

"No one knows what happens in the privacy of a couple and I refuse anyone the right to judge me. I feel free to take my own decisions and decide on my own actions. I decide on my own life."

It is true, no one knows what goes on in a marriage, but I think the only reason a woman of her wealth would stick it out with a creep like DSK is if there's no pre-nup (I wouldn't divorce him either if he had a chance of walking away with half of my family's fortune -better to outlive him). Or Sinclair is into his "swinging" lifestyle. Either way, I cannot relate.

Paris Haute Couture Spring 2012: Giorgio Armani Privé

2012-01-24T17:36:00.000-05:00

Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week - Spring 2012 presents GIORGIO ARMANI PRIVÉ

The Giorgio Armani Privé haute couture collection was definitely designed with a particular client in mind - a woman of a certain age. It was a tad mature for my taste, but I did like his choice of fabrics.

I love this gown, but I don't understand the armbands.

Paris Haute Couture Spring 2012: Chanel

2012-01-24T16:49:00.000-05:00

Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week - Spring 2012 presents CHANEL

At first, I forgot I was looking at a Chanel Couture Collection, as the initial pieces look rather "ready-to-wear" to me. They also looked bleak. While I applaud Karl Lagerfeld for putting pockets on everything (even rich women need a place to hide their hands), over all, this collection didn't cause me to salivate like I normally do when looking at Chanel. Too dark, too drab, not glamorous or chic, in my opinion. Then again "I shop at Gap" (but not recently because their stuff has been crappier than normal this past year).

Chanel - Spring 2012 Haute Couture Arrivals

2012-01-24T16:47:00.000-05:00

With Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week underway, I have to say I have not been impressed by how the celebrities have been photoed at the events. What's with all the stairs? Cameron Diaz continues her fashion week tour with a stop at the Chanel Spring 2012 Haute Couture show.

She's too blond for my tastes, but she looks great. I LOVE her coat.

Vanessa Paradis - singledom suits her.

Diane Kruger cannot be warm.

But it does remind me of the Christian Lacroix jacket on the now famous November '88 Vogue (Anna Wintour's first as editor).

Paris Haute Couture Spring 2012: Christian Dior

2012-01-23T19:23:00.001-05:00

Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week - Spring 2012 presents CHRISTIAN DIOR.

The collection looks nothing like John Galliano's Dior. No theatrics, just really "pretty" dresses. Head designer Bill Gaytten seemed to be playing homage to Christian Dior himself. Forties inspired, but modern. Copious use of sheer fabrics, yet the designs were still wearable. The collection was beautifully feminine. I loved just about everything, but the ball gowns.

Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week - Spring 2012 presents VERSACE

The design house of Versace has not presented a collection at Paris Haute Couture since 2004. I cannot say I liked this collection. It was modern and well constructed, but just about every piece looked like something that Kim Kardashian has worn or will wear. It looked rather gauche. Which is normally the Versace look, but this time it was a little too tacky for my tastes.

Jennifer Aniston Almost Earned My Respect

2012-01-23T10:54:00.002-05:00

Jennifer Aniston has been in hiding for the past few weeks. Other than a screening on January 9th, we have not been subjected to daily sightings of the actress in months. I was starting to believe the rumors that she was pregnant. And I was finally starting to respect Jennifer Aniston's game.

But here Jennifer is with her boyfriend Justin Theroux in Los Angeles yesterday, looking - not pregnant. She could be pregnant, but she isn't showing at all.

Can you imagine is she was though? Brad Pitt finally about to get that Oscar (it's looking doubtful but he could still pull it off) and then BAM - Jennifer Aniston with child. It would have been brilliant. It would have owned the award seasons. It would have also been an Angelina Jolie move, and I would have finally had a bit of respect for Jennifer, because while I think she's a manipulative bitch, I don't think she has mastered the manipulative bitch yet.

I can't respect half-assed.

Celebrity Split: Heidi Klum and Seal

2012-01-23T10:38:00.000-05:00

I feel robbed!

Heidi Klum and Seal finally announced what we have been reading (and talking) about all weekend. The end of their seven year marriage.

'While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate. We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition. We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children’s sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy.'

I'm the most cynical woman when it comes to celebrities. I don't normally buy whatever it is that they are selling, but I actually believed these two were in love. I actually believed these two were happy. And now it's over.

I've lost my faith in Hollywood. . . again.

Am I the only one wondering what Seal did? I think this was his f*ck-up!

They looked great.

Alicia Keys was on hand to perform for the crowd.

Music Video: "Stupid Hoe" by Nicki Minaj

2012-01-21T14:06:00.000-05:00

Check out the Hype Williams directed music video for "Super Hoe" by Nicki Minaj.

This is a diss track meant for Lil Kim. Poor Lil Kim. It's one thing to make a diss track, it's a whole new ballgame when you pay Hype Williams to direct the music video.

Let me start with the positive, the lyrics:

I'm Angelina, you Jennifer
C'mon bitch, you see where Brad at

And

Stupid hoe is my enemy
Stupid hoe is so wack
Stupid hoe should of befriended me
And she could have probably came back

Oh Lil Kim, please don't respond. You can't beat Nicki. You have the will, but not the talent.

Now for the negative.

Let me start by saying I REALLY want to love Nicki Minaj, but she reminds me of all the "broken" young women I work with. A bunch of people probably told Nicki she wasn't beautiful growing up. That she was too dark. Too skinny. That she had no ass. That her nose was flat or wide or something. You know #blackgirlproblems. Now as a result, it hurts my heart to see Nicki Minaj in music videos. She's always wearing foundation two shades too light. Her make-up is horrible, especially the way they shade her nose. If you hate your nose so much, go visit a plastic surgeon. And visually, Nicki is all about her ass. It's clear that the people managing Nicki think this, not her talent, is her best feature. How much ass am I supposed to be subjected to in one music video by a female MC? Much like Lil Kim was sold to the masses as "Super Hoe", Nicki, ten years later, is "Super Ass." While I didn't mind Lil Kim back in the day, I was never a huge fan because she was clearly a product of the men around her. And I think that Nicki, a decade later, isn't much different.

I really don't get why Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj hate each other, they are so similar they could be sisters. Two self-loathing, talented black women, surrounded by a bunch of men whose only intent is to turn them out and make as much money as possible off of their asses.

2012-01-21T10:33:00.000-05:00

Blind Vice! Sexual Carnivore Charlotte Switches Teams for a Great Movie Role!

We've already all fallen in love with Charlotte "Chuck" Finger-Dingle and her sexually impressive resume of bedding Hollywood's power gals. This particular beauty seems to thrive and simply glow inside the more women she beds, but guess what?

Chuck's also got a hot career going, which actually means more to her than her ambitious (and athletic) love life, so Charlotte just added something very different to her woman-eating Hollywood climb:

A man.

Yep, that's right! And, of course, not just any man, but a very, very powerful and über-talented man!

One who just happens to be directing Charly in her latest project. But that's not all.

Wanna know what's really weird about this one? No, not that Chuck has so seamlessly switched from women to men just for the sake of a great role (trust us, lots of celebs have made that switch in this town for far less than a spectacular role), but the fact that Chuck's new man has a woman who's totally OK with this arrangement!

Uh, are we watching a real-life episode of Sex and the City, only with Chucky's lover's other half doing the same thing Samantha would?

Apparently.

Either that or the director's woman knows full well that Charly's first preference is for the ladies, and she'll be bored diddling the director dude soon enough.

Only problem is, the way Charly's hanging all over her lover in public (not to mention in private), that sexual fade-out doesn't appear to be occurring anytime soon.

AND IT AIN'T: Jennifer Lawrence, Naya Rivera, Dakota Fanning
Previously: AND IT AIN'T: Ashley Greene, Lily Collins, Lea Michele

The Gossip Wrap-Up! Guess: I don't like these "she's whoring herself for roles" blind items. But I'll play along grudgingly because the two names I'm throwing out I don't particularly care for, Olivia Wilde or Blake Lively.

Just asking . . .

Which squeaky-clean actor’s drug habit is so bad, he’s starting to get a reputation and be passed over for big roles?

40/40 Club Grand Re-Opening

2012-01-19T08:20:00.001-05:00

The grand re-opening of Jay-Z's newly renovated 40/40 Club in NYC went down last night. There were rumors that Beyoncé was going to attend, but they were as bogus as all the other Jay-Z/Beyoncé stories out this week. Can we all FINALLY start to believe that British or Spanish newspapers are never going to get exclusives on Americans stars (unless they happen to be in the country), and stop reporting on it? Beyoncé giving her first post-baby interview to some low rent UK tabloid? Please, Beyoncé still only has one US Vogue and one solo Vanity Fair cover in her portfolio, I'd like to think Bey would aim a little higher.

But I digress. . . as usual.

Last night's party was devoid of big name stars. It was actually pretty embarrassing that Warren Buffet was the biggest name attending.

Ashanti glammed it up. She's like Ciara for old people now.

Sigh. I hope she didn't pay for her styling last night.

Spike Lee looked like a damn Smurf. I just thought Spike was short, but this outfit looks like he has some form of dwarfism.

Random Shots: Jessica Simpson's Baby Bump

2012-01-19T06:53:00.000-05:00

Jessica Simpson and her baby bump out in Beverly Hills last night. The more you see of Jessica Simpson's pregnancy, the more questionable Beyoncé's pregnancy seems. Jessica is around the 7 month mark, and while she looks beautiful -stunning truthfully -sadly her fashion sense is starting to revert back to the pre-pregnancy days. The cut of her dress is fine, it's the fabric detailing that has left me a little confused.

But her face is beyond beautiful. I'm ignoring the budget weave.

Movie Premiere: HAYWIRE

2012-01-19T06:40:00.001-05:00

The New York movie premiere of HAYWIRE was held last night. HAYWIRE, opening in theatres on January 20th, is about a highly-trained female covert operative working for a government security contractor, who is set-up during a mission in Europe and has to fight her way back to the US to clear her name and reveal the people who double crossed her. The films stars, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Gina Carano, is flanked by co-star Ewan McGregor and director Steven Soderbergh.

Gina Carano

A yummy looking Ewan McGregor.

Blake Lively, who will be starring in Steven Soderbergh's next film.

HUNGER GAMES star Elizabeth Banks.

Coverin' It: Jean Dujardin on GQ France

2012-01-19T02:13:00.000-05:00

Bonjour Jean Dujardin!

French actor, and the star of THE ARTIST Jean Dujardin, is on the February 2012 cover of GQ France. Dujardin was named Actor of the Year and Man of the Year by the French edition of GQ.

Jean has a wonderful face, he looks like the french version of a young Sean Connery -or is it me? Jean has me swooning.

Coverin' It: Zooey Deschanel on Allure

2012-01-19T01:48:00.000-05:00

How adorkable.

NEW GIRL actress Zooey Deschanel covers the February 2012 edition of Allure magazine, photographed by Norman Jean Roy. Other than the shot below, I don't like any of the photos. Why doesn't Zooey get to be just plain beautiful on the cover? Why does she have to be "Hollywood's Cutest Weirdo"?

Ad Campaign: Emporio Armani Underwear & Armani Jeans - Spring 2012

2012-01-19T01:44:00.000-05:00

New images from the upcoming Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans Spring 2012 advertising campaigns featuring Rihanna have been released. Both campaigns were shot by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in Dublin, and in my opinion are much sexier than the Fall 2011 Steven Klein-shot ads featuring the popstar.

Editorial: Taylor Swift in Vogue

2012-01-19T01:23:00.000-05:00

February 2012 Vogue covergirl Taylor Swift gets her vintage rock'n'roll shine on, in a photoshoot lensed by Mario Testino. Styled by Tonne Goodman, and wearing (for the most part) fashion from Rodarte, Taylor looks as chic as she ever will.

2012-01-19T01:11:00.000-05:00

Hollywood Whodunit?

This celebrity split was definitely shocking, but the divorce will be smooth sailing. The reason: the husband knows a scandalous secret about his wife’s respectable family and she is desperately trying to keep it quiet. She will make sure the divorce is amicable because she would be very upset if people found out her father is not what he appears to be: he’s a deeply closeted gay and a bitter man.

The Gossip Wrap-Up! Guess: "Respectable family"? Maria and Arnold.

Music Video: "Big Mouth" by Santigold

2012-01-19T00:48:00.000-05:00

Santigold (formerly Santogold) has a new album coming out, check out the music video for the single "Big Mouth", produced by Switch & Buraka Som Sistema. I'm not crazy about the video but the song, the parts I can understand, isn't bad. You can download the track for free at Santigold.com.

Ad Campaign: Just Cavalli - Spring 2012

2012-01-19T00:38:00.000-05:00

Photographer Terry Richardson was commissioned to shoot the Spring 2012 advertising campaign for Just Cavalli. This season's campaign features red hot models Jac Jagaciak, Lindsey Wixson and Ruby Aldridge paired with male models Josh Beech and Benjamin Eidem. The campaign definitely has Richardson's touch, and I love the bohemian/rock and roll edge, but I prefer the Robert Cavalli Spring 2012 campaign.

Editorial: Michelle Williams in GQ

2012-01-19T00:11:00.000-05:00

Michelle Williams, GQ magazine's February 2012 cover star, shows off her assets in a Marilyn Monroe inspired shoot with photographer Michael Thompson.

Michelle certainly is "selling it" for this Oscar season. Photos of her gussied up in her panties. Rehashing how she's been coping since Heath Ledger's death. Well played Michelle. Am I the only one who remembers that Heath and Michelle were separated at the time of his untimely overdose. Not to say that his death wouldn't have been heartbreaking, but still. . . four years later and that's still the only thing interesting about her?

Ad Campaign: Tom Ford Spring 2012

2012-01-18T15:07:00.000-05:00

Here is the new Spring 2012 Tom Ford advertising campaign featuring models Mirte Maas and Mathias Bergh. The pair were photographed by Tom Ford at a private residence in Palm Springs. I love the energy in the shots. Of course I'd be super happy if I was wearing Tom Ford from head to toe.

I love everything Tom Ford does, but his prices are crazy. I came across a pair of his sunglasses at a duty free shop -DUTY FREE. While the Prada, Gucci and D&Gs were going for $150 to $250. Tom Ford's sunglasses were going for $490. And of course they were the most beautiful and flattering sunglasses that were ever on my face. But I left them there, because I'm not cute enough for $500 glasses.

Coverin' It: Johnny Depp's Separate Life on People Magazine

2012-01-18T09:31:00.000-05:00

Johnny Depp covers this week's issue of People magazine. According to the rag, Johnny and his partner Vanessa Paradis have split. So much for the rumours. If People is reporting it, it must be true. According to People.com:

Depp, 48, and Paradis, 39, who are parents to Lily-Rose, 12, and Jack, 9, have not appeared side-by-side on a red carpet for more than a year. Multiple sources tell PEOPLE in this week's cover story that the relationship is all but officially finished. In fact, some in their circle say the couple of nearly 14 years have already split.

Is it weird that I couldn't care less? There's no drama here. There weren't the most public of couples. They just couldn't work it out, like so many other couples. If this were Angelina and Brad, I'd be freaking, but clearly we're all being affected by the slow gossip of late. Moving on...

French Girls Do It Better

2012-01-17T15:03:00.002-05:00

A cocktail party was held last night in Paris to honour the opening of this year's "Les Révélations" -an annual exhibit presented by the Cesars -the French film academy. This year's Revelations featured the photographs of Jean Baptiste Mondino. But this post isn't about that. It's about why French women look great even when they aren't trying. Marion Cottilard showed up in some frock, and was effortlessly gorgeous.

Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, who played the mermaid in the last PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movie (and who is technically a Spaniard), looked like she was going to class. Yet she was still photo ready.

I'm not seeing a whole lot of make up and she clearly did her own hair. If these women were North American celebrities, they would have had ten pounds of make-up, five tracks of extensions, a bandage dress and a pair of Louboutin platform pumps. We need to be like the French. . . in this case.

Coverin' It: Anais Pouliot, Kate King and Ming Xi on Vogue Russia

Canadian models Anais Pouliot and Kate King, and China's Ming Xi are on the cover of Vogue Russia for February 2012. The trio were photographed by Patrick Demarchelier.

Coverin' It: Robert Pattinson on GQ Russia

2012-01-17T07:12:00.000-05:00

A rather broody-looking Robert Pattinson is on the February 2012 cover of GQ Russia magazine. Probably just contemplating the box office of his non-TWILIGHT films.

Coverin' It: Charlotte Di Calypso on Elle Russia

Ad Campaign: Louis Vuitton Cruise 2012

2012-01-16T17:07:00.000-05:00

Model Arizona Muse stars in yet another advertising campaign for the luxe brand Louis Vuitton. The New Mexico native is featured in LV's Cruise 2012 campaign, lensed by Mark Segal, shot on location in Paris France.

I love the romantic retro-vibe they've created.

Not So Blind Item

Tongues were wagging about this Hollywood A-lister’s bizarre behavior last night following the Golden Globes Awards. Insiders believe her hyperactive behavior is an indication that she might be back on drugs again. The stunning biracial actress recently starred in a #1 box office hit movie. She and her husband, a well-known R&B singer, admitted to using drugs off and on throughout their 18-year relationship. But the couple say they stopped using drugs when their son was born less than 2 years ago. Now tongues are wagging that the actress might be using street pharmaceuticals again. One insider tweeted:

Whatever [****] is on makes her hyperactive and grab every person that passes her chair. So seriously she grabbed ppl I almost think [****]‘s on some type of mind altering substance. During her presenting she harassed the winners onstage. Insane.

The Gossip Wrap-Up! Guess: Paula Patton - so she's not really happy to be there, just really high?

Coverin' It: Taylor Swift on Vogue

2012-01-16T11:44:00.000-05:00

Taylor Swift covers the February 2012 edition of Vogue, photographed by Mario Testino. I love that she's not squinting. Only Anna Wintour could force that girl not to squint. Unfortunately, her gaze is creeping me out. She's following me with her eyes!

Viral YouTube Video of the Day: "My Video for Briona"

2012-01-16T09:48:00.000-05:00

I don't know who Briona is, but RUN GIRL, RUN! I watch stuff like this and thank God the internet wasn't like this, back when I was a teen.

2012 Golden Globe Awards: Charlize Theron

2012-01-16T09:43:00.000-05:00

Charlize Theron in pale pink Dior on the red carpet of the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards. Charlize looked great and her pale dress/nude make-up was definitely a popular option for the ladies last night. Charlize pulled it off better than most.

2012 Golden Globe Awards: Angelina Jolie

2012-01-16T09:39:00.001-05:00

Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace, with Brad Pitt at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards. I think Angelina looked great, and in a sea of nude lips, her bright red ones stood out.

2012 Golden Globe Awards: Sofia Vegara

2012-01-16T09:36:00.000-05:00

Sofia Vegara, in Vera Wang, was one of the best dressed at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards. I love Sofia, and thought her acceptance speech for Best Television Series - Comedy Or Musical was hilarious.

I think the detailing on the train is interesting. I don't like the colour though.

2012 Golden Globe Awards: George Clooney

2012-01-16T09:31:00.001-05:00

George Clooney, with Stacy Keibler, at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards. Stacy actually looks good (from the front). George is still dressing her like he's doesn't want her to get used to having money, but she looks better than most of his previous escorts.

That bow kills it though.

2012 Golden Globe Awards: Madonna

2012-01-16T09:30:00.001-05:00

Madonna, with actress Andrea Riseborough, at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards. Someone needs to tell Madonna that gloves, just like plastic surgery, don't really hide anything.

Isn't she Jewish?

2012 Golden Globe Awards: Connie Britton

2012-01-16T09:24:00.001-05:00

You'll have to explain this one to me. AMERICAN HORROR STORY star Connie Britton on the red carpet at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards. Did she think she was going to a church picnic?

2012 Golden Globe Awards: Benedict Cumberbatch

2012-01-16T09:21:00.000-05:00

SHERLOCK is now one of my favourite shows on TV and I adore Benedict Cumberbatch because of it. Check him out on the red carpet of the 2012 Golden Globe Awards.

2012 Golden Globe Awards: Helen Mirren

2012-01-16T09:18:00.000-05:00

One of the most beautiful last night.

Helen Mirren, in a navy blue Badgley Mischka gown, on the red carpet at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards.

Stunning.

2012 Golden Globe Awards: Salma Hayek

2012-01-16T09:15:00.000-05:00

Salma Hayek may get to wear the best brands in the world, but it doesn't mean they always look good. Salma at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards in a Gucci dress clearly designed for someone with more stature. She looks squat.

I think the Jessica Simpson Collection hair extensions aren't helping this look at all. She must of pissed off her entire staff yesterday, because no one was trying to help her.
