Rock band Stone Temple Pilots ousted founder and front man Scott Weiland on Wednesday, with a simple announcement stating that they had “terminated” him.  Can they do that?  Evidently Weiland thinks not. He issued his own statement, saying:

“I learned of my supposed ‘termination’ from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press.  Not sure how I can be ‘terminated’ from a band that I founded, fronted and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that’s something for the lawyers to figure out.”

Weiland later said that the whole thing was a publicity stunt.  However, it’s not the first time the band has parted ways dramatically;  they famously split in 2002 only to reunite five years later.

Who knows what’s really going on this time?  Weiland is busy anyway: he launches a solo tour today in Flint, Michigan.

Kerry Washington brightened up the 2013 Oscars red carpet in a dress that was as lovely as the actress wearing it.   Her coral Miu Miu gown featured an embellished bodice and a short train – a very elegant and unique look.   I applaud Kerry’s stylist for matching her lipstick almost exactly to the shade of her gown.  Another all around fashion win.

Jennifer Aniston made sure everyone would notice her at the Oscars!  She chose a Valentino dress in fire engine red for the awards show.  Jennifer wears Valentino pretty regularly, so it’s a nice, safe choice for her.  I like the color a lot; it’s very flattering for her.  However, I’m not sure how much I like the princess cut on her.  It doesn’t do a whole lot for me.   Is she trying out a new silhouette in anticipation of her wedding?

Speaking of which, she and fiance Justin Theroux looked very cute together.  Check them  out after the jump.

Jennifer Lawrence took home the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook – a real coup that will only put the 22 year old in even greater demand.  For her big night, she chose a white, strapless Dior gown fit for a princess.  You’d think she’d have a hard time walking in that pouf of a skirt, and she did, falling on the steps as she climbed on stage to accept her award.  No worries, though:  she pulled it off with grace.  The odds were definitely in her favor.

Catherine Zeta-Jones went for the gold for the Oscars red carpet.  She was all glitter and glamour in a Zuhair Murad gown that featured a swirling gold design.  The pattern is reminiscent of the Art Deco period, don’t you think?

Singer Adele wore black for her turn on the Oscars red carpet, but there was nothing basic about her choice of gown.  Her elegant, beaded dress with three-quarter sleeves was designed by Jenny Packham.  It was the perfect dress for a winner, and win she did:  Adele took the Best Original Song Oscar for her song “Skyfall,” from the movie of the same name.  Well played!

Reese Witherspoon rarely disappoints on the red carpet, and tonight was no exception.  She wore a slim, strapless gown by Louis Vuitton for the 2013 Oscars.  Reese’s blue dress featured black accents and a short gathered train.  It showed off her post-baby body, which looks awesome AND normal (she has hips!).   Evidently her daughter Ava helped pick Mom’s dress – proof that she’s inherited her mom’s fashion sense.

Red carpet favorite Amy Adams looked like a real princess at the 2013 Academy Awards.  She wore a dove gray ball gown by Oscar de la Renta with a sweetheart bodice and a fabulous, fluffy skirt with a long train.   This dress could have overwhelmed tiny Amy, so she wisely kept the rest of her look understated and elegant.
