Nicole Kidman in white Nina Ricci: classy elegance or completely boring?

Nicole Kidman was honored this weekend at the neverending Santa Barbara Film Festival (seriously, I think it's been going on for a month…?). Nicole picked up some kind of acting award, probably for Rabbit Hole, the role which has yearned her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Nicole wore this white/cream Nina Ricci dress for the event. Thoughts on the dress… I don't really care for Nicole in white or cream, just because she can look so good in other colors. That being said, I like this. It has a slight matronly vibe that is appropriate for the event, but it's still chic and beautiful. It seems like the kind of dress an older society woman would wear to a charity luncheon, right? But that ends up being a good look for Nicole. Here's more about her award:

NICOLE KIDMAN was the toast of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in California on Saturday (05Feb11) as she was honoured with a top prize.

The Moulin Rouge! star received the coveted Cinema Vanguard Award, which recognises stars who take artistic risks and make a significant contribution to film, at a special tribute as part of the 10-day event.

Taking to the stage to accept the trophy, Kidman told the audience, “I suppose that’s in my blood. I don’t even see it as taking a risk, I just see it as staying true to my heart and instinct.”

The honour has previously been presented to Vera Farmiga, Christoph Waltz and Peter Sarsgaard.

Good for her! Even though I'm no longer a fan of Nicole Kidman in general, I have to admit, she's one of the few people I really look forward to seeing during this awards season. When she's on her game, there's no one better. And when she's not on her game, it's horrible.

TMZ: Lindsay Lohan will be charged with felony grand theft

Posted: 06 Feb 2011 05:39 AM PST

Well, we have our first glimpse of HOPE. Watch it carefully. It will be snuffed out faster than you can say "Mother Crackhead". According to TMZ's sources, the LA County's DA's office is prepared to bring charges against Lindsay Lohan for felony grand theft. For that ugly $2500 necklace that Blohan "lifted" from a Venice Beach jewelry store. While the DA's office is refusing to confirm the reports, every outlet is running with it, and TMZ doubled down on their report by claiming that Lindsay's lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley (that poor, poor woman) has already informed Lindsay that the charges will likely be filed on Monday. The maximum sentence for felony grand theft? Three years. Why do I think that even if this junk does end up happening, Lindsya would end up with something like probation?

Lindsay Lohan will be charged with felony grand theft … TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with the case tell TMZ the L.A. County District Attorney will file the case as early as Monday.

Lindsay is accused of stealing a $2,500 necklace (pictured above) from a Venice, CA jewelry store on January 22. Surveillance video from the store shows Lindsay with the necklace in question and there are photos of her wearing what appears to be the same necklace a week later.

If convicted … Lindsay faces a maximum of three years in state prison.

Sources connected with Lindsay tell TMZ … Lindsay says she’ll fight the charge and she’s sticking with her story that she took the jewelry on loan.

The case could also have a dramatic impact on her ongoing DUI case in Beverly Hills since she is currently on probation.

UPDATE: The D.A.’s office just issued a statement to an L.A. wire service that no decision has been made. TMZ reiterates — Lindsay Lohan will be charged with felony grand theft.

[From TMZ]

Shawn Holley released a statement to People Magazine: “We vehemently deny these allegations and, if charges are filed, we will fight them in court, not in the press." Oh, she sounds worried. At this point, I hope she's just racking up billable hours and making the Lohans pay her fees on crack layaway.

Oh, listen to this one - a "source" close to Lindsay (Mother Crackhead) told People: “Lindsay doesn’t understand how the store can file a police report when they let her borrow the necklace. She’s used to getting gifted items that are worth way more than that. And why would she steal a necklace? She has tons of jewelry and doesn’t need anymore.” Yes, she already has tons of jewelry that she already STOLE!! Why won't anyone listen to Mother Crackhead?!? If Lindsay was going to steal another piece of jewelry, it would be much more expensive!! Seriously, go back and read that statement - look at the layers of denial and bullsh-t. "She’s used to getting gifted items that are worth way more than that" - meaning that Lindsay considers her crack thievery "gifting". Meaning that just because Lindsay thinks she SHOULD get expensive jewelry for free, that gives her the right to steal whatever she wants. Ugh, I give up.

UPDATE: TMZ has a new “pity poor Blohan” story. TMZ’s sources claim that Lindsay’s thought process is, “People just don’t believe me and know I’m in a vulnerable position.” And Lindsay is claiming that “the jewelry store owner is seizing the moment by concocting a story that Lindsay stole the jewelry. Lindsay insists it was loaned to her. And we’re told … Lindsay is ‘extremely nervous’ about the prospect of going back to jail. Although she refers to the possible penalty as jail, it’s actually a lot worse … State prison. Lindsay is telling people, ‘Nothing is worth going back.’” Then maybe she should have thought of that before her crack thievery?

Renee Zellweger wears blue in Berlin: the best she’s looked in years?

Posted: 06 Feb 2011 05:39 AM PST

Damn, this is the best Renee Zellweger has looked in a really long time. Good skin. Good posing. Good dress, although it is a bit "Texas Debutante Cotillion". The hair is meh, as usual, but Renee has never been a hair person. Overall though, she looks healthy and happy and pretty. The best she's looked in years. God, she's looked rough over the past five years or so. So… is it an incidence where she's stopped jacking her face full of chemicals, or is it that all of her "work" has finally "settled"? I want to think that she's stopped with the junk, but her forehead is looking like Nicole Kidman-esque marble. No, no, no! I'm being too negative. She looks great. She got all dressed up for the Golden camera Awards in Berlin, where she was awarded the Best International Actress Award for her body of work:

The annual Golden Camera Awards celebrates the biggest stars of German TV, music and film. But last night, the glitzy ceremony got a taste of Hollywood glamour as A-listers Renee Zellweger swept in wearing a stunning grey and silver ballgown.

The 41-year-old actress showed off her toned arms in the unusual, strapless gown, which included threads of silver wire running through the bodice and skirt.

The Cold Mountain star was awarded with the Best International Actress award for her many memorable on-screen performances over the years.

A spokeswoman for award organisers, Hoerzu magazine, said they were honouring her for her ability to play natural and authentic roles.

Accepting her accolade, she noted previous recipients of the award, including Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett and Jodie Foster: ‘I am so honoured to be part of the same group of great artists who have received this honor over the last 46 years.’

Noticeably absent was her actor boyfriend Bradley Cooper, who is in mourning following the death of his beloved father Charles two weeks ago. Renee was due to attend the Golden Globes at the time, but pulled out to be support Bradley and his family following the 71-year-old’s death.

[From The Daily Mail]

That sucks that Bradley didn't come to support her. They're so weird about not wanting to be seen together. I mean, I get that Bradley's star is on the rise, and that Renee has always been a pretty private person, but they've been together for more than a year, right? No, it's been more than that, like a year and a half. Surely he can hold her hand on one red carpet and the sky won't fall?

Shia LaBeouf got his ass kicked in a drunken bar fight (update)

Posted: 06 Feb 2011 05:38 AM PST

fp_6630944_labeouf_shia_pod_00_05

There have been moments when I have really liked Shia LaBeouf. He has moments where he seems like a really cool guy - he gives good interviews, he's really nice to his fans, and he's actually one of the most talented actors of his generation. However, I'm really starting to get the feeling that he's got an inner, raging douchebag yearning to break free. Little things - rude comments, immaturity, rumors about his disrespectful behavior to ex-girlfriend Carey Mulligan. I don't know… I've kind of gone off of him. Anyway, I'm not sure how this story falls into my mixed Shia emotions, but it doesn't sound good. Apparently, Shia was at a bar, and he either got cold-cocked by some dude who didn't like Shia's behavior, OR he got jumped for no reason…? Eh.

Shia LaBeouf was placed in handcuffs after a fight at a bar last night, but was eventually released … TMZ has learned.

It all went down at Mad Bulls Tavern in Sherman Oaks, CA. Sources at the bar tell TMZ, Shia is a frequent patron of the establishment. According to witnesses, he got a little rowdy and ended up getting punched in the face.

Sources close to Shia paint a different story — they say Shia was jumped on his way out of the bar. They say police arrived on scene shortly thereafter, cuffed everyone involved, and eventually let Shia go. Police have no record of any arrests being made.

Sources close to the actor say the security guard at the bar backed up Shia’s version of events.

[From TMZ]

I'm trying to think if I've ever gotten into a bar fight. I really did have to sit here for a second and try to remember! That's not good, is it? I've gotten into little fights and big confrontations at parties, but not at a bar. One time I was talking smack about this girl at a party, and she overheard me and we almost came to blows, but my friend got in the middle. Ah, good times. So… what's the verdict? Do we take Shia's version of events at face value? My guess is that Shia was probably acting like an ass, but that the guy who hit him was probably over-reacting. Just because a kid has a smart-ass mouth, doesn't mean you should engage him, you know?

UPDATE: Ugh, this story got more complicated. According to Radar, Shia was at his regular bar, Mad Bull's Tavern, with "about 14 of his friends". Shia had been at the bar for several hours when he and this dude got into it. Then, according to witnesses, "The guy was laughing at Shia and called Shia ‘a f**king fagot’. Shia shot back that he was going to ‘kick is f**king ass’. Shia then lunged but the other guy got the first punch in. He hit Shia hard in the face and split his lip." A cop saw what went down and called for backup, and Shia and the dude were both handcuffed and asked if they wanted to press charges against each other, and both declined. The witness that Radar spoke to, Dee, says the bar staff calls Shia "the Unibomber" because he's always got his hood up and glasses on, and Dee says Shia's friends are “a bunch of a**holes. They are all in their early 20s and get loaded with him. [Shia] wasn’t jumped. The last time I saw him in there was three weeks ago and he was wasted, he started a fight and it turned into a group fight with 20 people involved. I don’t think the police came then. I got the hell out of there, it was nothing but trouble. Everyone was partying.” Ugh. Sounds like a pretty typical drunken bar fight.

Khloe Kardashian releases ridiculous print ad for her unisex perfume

Posted: 06 Feb 2011 05:38 AM PST

khloeunbreakable

Above is the new print ad for Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's new fragrance. Don't look for a second and tell me what you think their joint fragrance should be called. "Giant & Giantess" was my first guess. "Fee Fie Foe Fum" perhaps. No, I jest. I love Khloe, and I get a kick out of Lamar. But that print ad for "Unbreakable" is ridiculous. The Kardashians just have issues with print media. And photographs. And Christmas cards. And jobs. And drag queens who wear less makeup than them.

Eau la la! Khloe Kardashian and husband Lamar Odom are packing on the PDA for a sexy new print ad touting their fragrance, “Unbreakable.” Married since September 2009, Kardashian, 26, and Odom, 31, advertise their first fragrance venture in an array of black and white images, including one where they’re sharing a steamy smooch.

“This project has been in the works for months now and we were involved every step of the way to make sure the fragrance was a true fusion of ourselves and our personalities,” Kardashian wrote on her Celebuzz.com blog Friday.

“People literally stop me and ask what I’m wearing and the fact that I can say my own fragrance blows my mind!” she adds. “I can’t stop smelling myself.”

The unisex scent - sold exclusively at Perfumania stores starting February 12 — isn’t their only joint venture. The couple is currently filming their very own E! spinoff series.

According to an insider, the new reality show will have the vibe of Bravo’s Bethenny Getting Married. “They’re so cute, playing off one another,” the source told UsMagazine.com of Kardashian and Odom.

The series, tentatively titled Khloe and Lamar, will also feature Khloe’s brother, Robert Kardashian, as he embarks on a music career.

[From Us Weekly]

Do you want to smell like Khloe? I would imagine she smells better than Kim, who, in my mind, smells like wax, burning plastic and almost-suppressed farts. Khloe's fragrence probably has tequila top notes, and a base of Funions and salsa. Not bad, honestly.

Here are some photos of Khloe on Friday at some event. She looks kind of drunk. Hate the necklace, love the hair.

Kate Bosworth earns herself another Alex Skarsgard photo-op

Posted: 06 Feb 2011 05:38 AM PST

kate_bosworth_01_wenn3193646

Look, a photo-op with Kate Bosworth and Alexander Skarsgard! How shocking! Just when we begin to forget that Alex has Bos-stank all over him, we get a nice photo-op to prove that they are very much together. Do you think this one will come with another engagement rumor? To be fair to The Bos (not that she deserves it), she and Alex were photographed coming out of Bristol Farms, which is apparently the only celebrity hotspot/paparazzi magnet/grocery store in LA. Celebrities are photographed coming out of Bristol Farms all the time, and I doubt many of them are calling the paps on themselves. However, they do shop there knowing that it's more A-list than the Chateau Marmont. So… whatever, it's a wash.

kate_bosworth_04_wenn3193649

Except that The Bos insists on "acting" like she's so perturbed by being photographed with Alex. Look at the way she's half-posing, like "Oh, I'm going to cover my face because I'm so private and I can't believe you caught me!" But then she doesn't really cover her face, because that would ruin the photo. And she wants the photos.

Also - Alex's arms. DAMN. Ugh. For a second, I forgot The Bos-stank.
