Olivia Wilde: Best Dressed At The Golden Globes

Olivia Wilde stunned everyone last night at the 66th Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hills Hilton last night. The dress looks so comfortable and cute! Olivia didn’t win any awards last night but proved that the best dressed can sit and enjoy the awards.

And on that note, I was upset to see that House or Hugh Laurie didn’t win any awards. I love the story line with Thirteen. And now that she was kissing Eric Foreman, things should get really exciting.

‘Slumdog Millionare’ Big Golden Globe Winner

Danny Boyle‘s newest film Slumdog Millionare was the big feature film winner at last night’s Golden Globe Awards taking home four awards.  It won best screenplay, best original score, best director and best motion picture drama.

“Is this really happening to me? My first film wins four Golden Globes? I just can’t believe it,” co-star Freida Pinto gushed to reporters backstage as she stood among her collaborators, including Danny Boyle, who won the best-director prize.

Now the question is, what will it win at the oscars? This movie had most of the same competition as it probably will at the Academy Awards. What do you think?

Today Marks 50th Anniversary of Motown

It was 50 years ago today that Berry Gordy put the wheels of a global music industry phenomenon into motion. Gordy started Motown, originally named Tamla Records, from a studio in his cellar with an $800 loan.

Motown got its name from a Detroit automobile assembly line, likening his promotion of black artists to transforming plain metal frames into gleaming motorcars.

Historically the movement is important in itself as having broken down racial barriers – ushering the sounds of The Jackson 5, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, and so many more into the homes of middle-America and urban areas alike.

Britney’s Former Manager Johnny Wright Speaks Out Against ‘Comeback’

You might know him from appearances on MTV’s Making the Band, and his work with bands like *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys (among tons other I’m sure) – and he once worked as Britney Spears‘ manager.  He’s speaking out against her comeback to OK! Magazine, doing the time-old bitter ex-employee song and dance… or, is he genuinely concerned?

You decide.

“A comeback is not what I wish for Britney. What I wish for her is to settle down and find real happiness. All her essential relationships have been torn apart. She’s been divorced twice, she doesn’t have custody of her kids, she’s being pushed back into being a money machine.

I want her to be happy in her heart, then go back to the business because she wants to, not because people are convincing her she has to, or that it would be good therapy for her. It’s too soon for her to be a part of a manufactured machine that is pushing her to have to be a success.

It was very telling when I found out Wade and Andre were no longer with the tour. They helped create the best tours we ever had with Britney. Wade is a really good influence and understands her. When I heard he was no longer involved, I knew there was a problem, and it is probably just the beginning of more problems to come.

Britney has to rival Madonna out there, but Madonna really wants to do it. Seeing Britney do it by the numbers isn’t a good sign. It means she might not want it as much as those around her do.

In the beginning, in her mind, she could stop at any time. Now she’s thinking, ‘I’ve got 170 people on payroll, my dad quit his job, my mom relies totally on me and I can’t take a break. I can’t go back to my friends in Kentwood. I can’t step back… that’s tough for an adult, never mind a kid… When a parent becomes an employee of a child, they worry about getting fired, so they stop being parents in order not to get laid off.

Her career can wait. Now it should be about spending time with her kids. That’s where she’ll bring herself back to herself. But she’s gearing up for much more time away from them while on the road.

Even if she’s gone for a month, the growth of those boys during that period is significant. She won’t see that and will really miss that. Those are moments she’s not going to get back.”

Tina Fey Wins At The Golden Globes, Her Response “Suck It”

One of my favorite moments of the Golden Globes last night was Tina Fey‘s acceptance speech for Actress In A TV Comedy Series. It was real and raw (and I wonder how drunk she was, it seemed like the 30 Rock people had a lot of fun at the Golden Globes last night).

After thanking the Hollywood Foreign Press she said

“I really know how very lucky I am to have the year that I have had this year. And if you ever start to feel too good about yourself, they have this thing called the Internet, and you can find a lot of people there who don’t like you. I’d like to address some of them now,”

And she went on to tell her critics to “Suck it.”

I tracked down the real people who she mentioned. They are from the forum The Envelope at the LA Times website. One of the girls that Tina mentioned dianefan answered Tina back by saying this…

I’m famous. She mentioned BabsonLacrosse too. Sorry Tina Fey but I still don’t think you deserved to win.

Seriously, this is the best. You can’t even write this stuff. Congratulations Tina, you complete me!

Ludacris Featured on New Jesse McCartney Single

I love this song. Actually, I can’t front – I’ve been a fan of everything Jesse McCartney‘s been putting out lately. When I first heard that he was teaming up with The Dream for his new album Departure, the inevitable eye roll wasn’t that I passed up – but its low key promotion, and blue-eyed soul tonage have apparently paid off.

Anyways, produced by collaborator Sean Garrett, “How Do You Sleep” is Mac’s third single featuring Ludacris for a remixed non-album version.

Thoughts?

Kate Hudson Punched Anne Hathaway On Set Of “Bride Wars”

It was rumored Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway weren’t exactly best friends and there might even have been some cat fighting involved on the set ofBride Wars”. The truth is these rumors might have some hint of true, since Kate has admitted she accidentally punched her co-star during a more heated scene.

“We were really tired, and I had this big rock on my finger. … I whacked Annie in the face so hard,” Hudson said on the Rachael Ray show Friday. “She was like: No, no, keep going because she was so into it … Two hours later, she’s sitting in the back of a car with an ice pack on her face. I was so bad. I really clocked her.”

Yeah, right!! Kate was so into character she never noticed Anne was actually in pain! Anne is such a great actress she felt the need to take it the punch. That’s dangerous! She could have gotten some permanent damage on her pretty face!!

Backseat Cuddler’s 66th Golden Globe Awards Predictions

The Golden Globe Awards for this year have arrived. In just a little under three hours the show will start. I decided I would try and predict who I think I will win. (Note: This is just for fun, I really may or may not know what I am talking about.) And during the show you can catch me live-blogging here.

(My winning choices are bolded.)

Film Nominations:

Best motion picture drama
“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”
“Frost/Nixon”
“The Reader”
“Revolutionary Road”
“Slumdog Millionaire”

Everyone who is someone has something good to say about this movie. It should win hands down. (I am partial to The Reader though.)

Best motion picture musical or comedy
“Burn After Reading”
“Happy-Go-Lucky”
“In Bruges”
“Mamma Mia!”
“Vicky Cristina Barcelona”

Again, I think that Mamma Mia broke records on how good it was. Besides it was a musical. All women like musicals!

Best actor, drama
Leonardo DiCaprio, “Revolutionary Road”
Frank Langella, “Frost/Nixon”
Sean Penn, “Milk”
Brad Pitt, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”
Mickey Rourke, “The Wrestler”

Frank Langella is only playing one of the most famous presidents of the United States, Richard Nixon, that in itself is awesome. (I am partial to Leonardo DiCaprio though, but just because I still think he was hot in The Titanic.)

Best actress, drama
Anne Hathaway, “Rachel Getting Married”
Angelina Jolie, “Changeling”
Meryl Streep, “Doubt”
Kristin Scott Thomas, “I’ve Loved You So Long”
Kate Winslet, “Revolutionary Road”

It’s a toss up between Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep but I am sure Anne will win it. She has proven to everyone that she’s an amazing actress.

Best actor, musical or comedy
Javier Bardem, “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”
Colin Farrell, “In Bruges”
James Franco, “Pineapple Express”
Brendan Gleeson, “In Bruges”
Dustin Hoffman, “Last Chance Harvey”

I say Colin Farrell because who wouldn’t want to see what kind of speech he would come up with. Those people better get ready with the censorship button now!

Best actress in a musical or comedy
Kristen Bell, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”
Sally Hawkins, “Happy-Go-Lucky”
Frances McDormand, “Burn After Reading”
Meryl Streep, “Mamma Mia!”
Emma Thompson, “Last Chance Harvey”

Meryl Streep will probably win it but since I love Kristen Bell‘s character on Heroes I’m gonna go with her. Let”s hope she gets an award because she has like ten jobs (she also does the voice of the gossip girl on Gossip Girl.)

Best supporting actor in a motion picture
Tom Cruise, “Tropic Thunder”
Robert Downey Jr., “Tropic Thunder”
Ralph Fiennes, “The Duchess”
Philip Seymour Hoffman, “Doubt”
Heath Ledger, “The Dark Knight”

Heath Ledger will of course win it. He really took over that movie…he made The Joker his own by even improvising the mannerisms the Joker would have.

Best supporting actress in a motion picture
Amy Adams, “Doubt”
Penelope Cruz, “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”
Viola Davis, “Doubt”
Marisa Tomei, “The Wrestler”
Kate Winslet, “The Reader”

Kate Winslet did an awesome job and the transformation she went through was amazing. I hope she wins this one.

Best director, motion picture
Danny Boyle, “Slumdog Millionaire”
Stephen Daldry, “The Reader”
David Fincher, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”
Ron Howard, “Frost/Nixon”
Sam Mendes, “Revolutionary Road

Again everyone has been talking about this movie. For sure the best director should be for Danny Boyle.

The rest of the predictions after the jump… (Read the article)

Kelly Clarkson “They Photoshopped The Crap Out Of Me”

Singer/songwriter Kelly Clarkson has posted on her blog to express how excited she is about her new album “All I Ever Wanted” and new single “My Life Would Suck Without You” coming out January 16th. Kelly complains she doesn’t recognize herself on the cover of her own album saying: “It’s very colorful and they have definitely photo-shopped the crap out of me…” (see album and single cover HERE>>).

i’m ready for y’all to hear this album! i’m so proud of it!! i think it’s 4 more days and my first single drops at radio and i’m super super pumped!! we decided the cover of the album and just in case you haven’t seen it i’ll post it! it’s very colorful and they have definitely photo-shopped the crap out of me but i don’t care haha! whoever she is, she looks great ha! i’ve had so much fun with this album i really hope y’all dig it woohooooooooooo!!!!

It seems like admitting being Photoshopped is the new black! Jennifer Aniston did it and now Kelly Clarkson! It’s really obvious there is some airbrushing, but they should stay quiet about it, don’t you think?? Didn’t Kelly see the album cover before?? LOL! Kelly is currently in London promoting her new album!

Hear Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You” HERE>>
