"The City" Toff, Golden Globes Get Ahead of Themselves

No, no, no -- you're supposed to get arrested for soliciting after you're famous, and announce the winners during the award ceremony. The Smoking Gun reveals that James Nevan Donahue, who plays a friend or something of "social" Olivia in the MTV car-wreck "The City," was arrested in 2007 for approa ... More >>

Anne Hathaway Fix Evaporates at Golden Globes

We weren't even going to mention the Golden Globes until we saw it on the front page of the New York Times -- who ever thought the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, once described as "100 stringers living off hors d'oeuvres," would gather such respect! -- but now we're duty-bound to mention tha ...

Which Half of Brangelina Will Oscar Snub?

Click here on my new column and you'll find out which sexy superstar--Brad or Angelina--will get an Oscar nomination next week, since my inside source in heaven swears the deities have decreed that BOTH divas can't be so honored. That would just be too much glory for people who already have it all ... More >>

The Oscar Nominations Are Out!

Here it is, folks--the list of lucky and talented people who will compete for the final glory on the Gay Olympics on February 22. My predictions were 80% correct (four out of five in each category), which is not embarassing, but hardly worthy of a trophy either. I underestimated the Academy a bit, ... More >>

Is The Octuplet Lady The Biggest Mother of Them All?

Who's the grandest, most baby popping mother in our great tabloid nation? Here are your mo-fo choices: *Nadya Suleman, the octuplet lady. She's popped out 14 human lives in total, all thanks to the very same sperm donor (Jodie Foster?). The woman spews children out of her privates like a Civil W ... More >>

Awards for Awards

Fashionable highlights and lowlights from last night's Golden Globes

Screw The Oscars! Bring on the Glammy Awards!

​ I made a fool of myself at last year's Glammy Awards for downtown club culture, when I lost Best Writer/Blogger to Lady Bunny and grabbed the mic to say, "This is an outrage! This is like when Pia Zadora beat Meryl Streep for the Golden Globe!"

Golden Globe Nominations Favor Up in The Air, Hurt Locker

​Movie awards fever proceeds apace with the Golden Globes nominations. The once-derided Hollywood Foreign Press Association prizes are now considered legit and a predictor of Oscar behavior, so the Best Motion Picture - Drama nominees -- NY/LA Critics' laureate The Hurt Locker , along with Ava ... More >>

It's Meryl Vs. Sandra!

​Did anyone think the Best Actress Oscar race would boil down to a battle royale between the greatest actress of her generation, Meryl Streep, and Miss Congeniality, Sandra Bullock? No, but with both ladies' Golden Globes wins, that exactly what it's shaping up as. Mind you, I've always trum ... More >>

Could This Finally Be Annette Bening's Year?

​Not once but twice, Annette Bening has lost the Oscar to Hilary Swank, but this could finally be her year to grab for the gold. The problem is she's in TWO big movies.

Natalie Portman to Bestow Upon the World a Mini-Portman

Niko Tavernise​According to People magazine, Natalie Portman, that little girl we really loved back when she was in that hit-man movie with Jean Reno, who we also love, and then that little girl who was all wise and glorious in the oddly wonderful despite being a little pedophiley when you thi ...

The Social Network Cleans Up at the Golden Globes, Ricky Gervais Burns Them to the Ground

​Last night's Golden Globes were...weird. They were sad, they were awkward, they were kind of bleak and sinister, like a cocktail party gone on way too long, till everyone's smiles are forced and dresses rumpled. The Social Network did well, winning four awards, as did Glee, which took home th ... More >>

This Week in the Voice: Kanye, Kanye, Kanye! And Cee Lo, Too, and the Biebs...

​Kanye West dominates the 38th Annual Pazz Jop Critics' Poll as albums winner, with 3250 points and 266 mentions for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, while crowd favorite Cee Lo Green snags singles winner with 187 mentions for "Fuck You." But there's tons more in this week's musical retros ... More >>

A-List: New York Star: "You're Not A Cunt!"

​I got sucked into the worst event of all time last night, only because I agreed to accept some bizarre "Shitz," I mean "Glitz" award, for being a gay icon, at club Rebel. The whole thing made the Golden Globes look credible by comparison. They said I should get there at 10. I did and was g ... More >>

Oscars 2011: Ranking the Red-Carpet Fashion Highs and Lows

You had us at beard. ​At Refinery 29's Oscar Viewing Party at the W Hotel in Union Square last night, we waited eagerly to be wowed by the celebs on the red carpet. Alas, that moment never came. We mostly shrugged, "meh"ed, and nodded. Not even Helena Bonham Carter, whose eccentricity has kept ... More >>

I Talked Oscars On CNN This Morning

​ And here are some saucy samplings of what I said. About Melissa Leo's F word: "It was in keeping with her character in The Fighter. And it was the only sign of life all night. It's just sad that it was the highlight of the whole telecast and you couldn't hear it! You had to read her lips! ... More >>

Ricky Gervais Amazed By Emmy Nod For Golden Globes Gig

​When awards shows get nominated for awards, it's a little like a dog sniffing its own butt. And sure enough, the Emmys have nominated the Tonys, the Oscars, and the Golden Globes, all of which will probably end up competing for a Pulitzer! It's all so creepily incestual it's like a cult in ... More >>

What I Have To Be Thankful For

​I'm alive. I don't have allergies to anything edible. Some of my old outfits are coming back in style. I just found some change in the couch.

The Golden Globes Pit Madonna Vs. Gaga (And Elton) Vs. Mary J. Vs. Sinéad Vs. Chris (Cornell)

​Sure, the Golden Globes are a big excuse for celebrities to get soused and congratulate each other, but this year's offering of Best Original Song nominees has a neat wrinkle: Lady Gaga and Madonna are facing off against one another, with Gaga up for her weirdly Bee Gees-evoking Elton John co ...

Angelina Admits To "Complete Emotional Breakdown"

​No, not out of residual guilt over Jennifer Aniston. And not over the pressure of mothering 350 kids and counting.

Five Things To Do Before You Watch The Golden Globes Tonight

​Far away, in a place known to some as "La-La Land," the region's princes and princesses are preparing for a big magical celebration. Yeah, no. It's just that the Golden Globes are happening tonight in Los Angeles. Will you watch? Will you not watch now that you know that Ryan Gosling will not ... More >>

Elton John's Husband Trashes Madonna For Golden Globe Win And Speech!

​Madonna had just won Best Song for cowriting something that pops up in the February release W.E.. Sir Elton (who's British royalty just like Dame Madge herself) hadn't won for "Hello Hello" from the animated movie about lawn gnomes in love.

Madonna Is Sizzling Hot Again!

​Madonna has done the impossible. Just by sticking it out, playing the game, and being simultaneously fabulous and appalling, she's made herself buzz-able again. Among her strokes of genius: *The annoying but hugely watched fashion-line promo video with the daughter, which some slow-witted ... More >>

Antonio and Melanie: I Have A Question

​This is how they looked every single time they were shown on the Golden Globes. It was so bizarre to have them angled in different directions, making them look like a Jeff Koons statue of themselves or maybe like a glamorous movie couple with whiplash.

The Most Hyped TV Show In History!

​There were commercials for it all through the Golden Globes, and two of the presenters were stars from the show. Every Broadway site has large wraparound ads for it on the homepage. The trade magazines are brimming with ads and articles about it.

For the Love of God, It's Not 'Downtown' Abbey!

​Have you seen the extremely popular British period drama called "Downton Abbey"? It's all the rage right now. It won a Golden Globe! People are talking about it, watching it, DVR-ing it, weeping with joy and raising their glasses to it as we speak. And people and news organizations, which are ... More >>

"Best Movie Of The Year"? I Saw It At Film Forum!

​Roger Ebert called the Iranian melodrama A Separation "the best film of the year". What's more, it won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film and it's nominated for two Oscars. And it's indeed remarkable--a far cry from slick, bloated, soulless Hollywood fare.
