Why on earth is Keri Russell striking that awful, shoulders-rolled-forward pose? This is not attractive. Whatever happened to standing straight with your shoulders back, and carrying yourself like Grace Kelly?

Maybe Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie will have a fistfight

I don't think Angelina will be much up for a fight in her condition:

Didn't she recently have a stay at a rehab? If so, she might have a reason she can't do a thing with her hair. Substance abuse is not only hard on the body, but it takes a lot of shine and condition out of hair.

Keri Russell is a pretty woman but that color she chose for her gown does nothing for her..she would look great in gem colors...

Michael Moore looked like a big slow moving toad and then he croaked "tell them (the international community) we're very sorry."

George Clooney The Arrogant on the red carpet with Regis right now (on ABC).

Now this beautiful French girl in that amazing dress... Edith Piaf movies looks pretty good... I wasn't even aware of this film.

Hi nutmeg! No problem! I’m here for the same thing. So far I’m liking the fashions. No woman really shows as terrible for me. Daniel Day Lewis is mind-numbingly dressed.

ACK! I just saw Travolta’s hair on tv! SCARY.

There’s Regis. He just became a grandpa this week for the first time.
