Is Angelina Jolie Avoiding Ryan Seacrest??

Angelina Jolie went out of her way at the Oscars to avoid Ryan Seacrest. While Ryan was able to ask Brad Pitt a quick question about how he felt about being nominated for an Oscar – Angelina once again avoided speaking with Ryan.

It happened at the Golden Globes and then again last night at the Oscars. There are some rumors that Angelina was not happy with Ryan when he asked her back in 2006 what she fed her children for dinner when Angelina’s mom was on her death bed.

Do you think when one of the hottest Hollywood celebrities refuses to speak to you that it’s time to do something about it. Flowers, a phone call?? What should Ryan do to get back in Angelina’s good graces??

Best Actor Nominees-Who Will Be The Winner?

On Feb. 22, the Oscars will be given to this years ‘best’ in the movie industry. My favorite category is always, the Best Actor category, and there are some outstanding choices this year. Lets see if we can pick this years winner.

Mickey Rourke as Randy “The Ram” Robinson, a professional wrestling star from the ’80s itching for one last shot at immortality, in The Wrestler.

Brad Pitt as Benjamin Button, a man who is born old and ages in reverse, in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Sean Penn as Harvey Milk, real-life charismatic gay rights leader in Milk.

Frank Langella as Richard Milhous Nixon, disgraced ex-President of the United States, in Frost/Nixon.

Richard Jenkins as Walter Vale, a widowed college professor who returns to New York City to find a couple of illegal immigrants living in his apartment, in The Visitor.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Happy In Love

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were together at the Screen Actors Guild awards. Both were nominated for their leading dramatic roles: Angelina for Changeling, and Brad, for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

That is some POWER couple. They took to the red carpet at the SAG Awards where they discussed their films and of course each other.

Angelina was asked if she likes having Pitt as her date at award shows (Is there anyone out there that wouldn’t?),

“We’ve been doing it together for four years – it’s aways nice. I don’t think I’d want to be doing it alone. It’s nice to be doing it with your best friend … and have a laugh in the middle of the show.”

When asked how Brad has changed her, she said that

“he’s a wonderful man … the person I admire the most in the world. I think he is extraordinary.”

Brad also spoke about Angelina as a mother,

“amazing … a fantastic mother.”

I have to ask the question again – Is there anyone out there who wouldn’t want Brad Pitt for their date?? If you could choose any of the stars to go on a date with who would it be??

SAG Awards 2009

Another exciting Awards show. This time it was the 2009 SAG (Screen Actors Guild) Awards. The usual star sightings for the 2009 awards shows, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Kate Winslet, Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Laurie all turned out for the event.

Sean Penn and Meryl Streep both won leading actor awards. Noticed I did not use the word BEST.

According to Meryl,

“There is no such thing as the best actress,” she said. “There is no such thing as the greatest living actress. I am in a position where I have secret information that I know this to be true. I am so in awe of the work of the women this year – nominated, not nominated – so proud of us girls. Everybody wins when we get parts like this.”

Once again ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ won for outstanding cast in a motion picture, making it very likely that the movie will win for Best Picture at the Oscars.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are Moving To New York??

I know I JUST posted an article about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt but I HAD to write this article because I am from New York and the possibility of living thisclose to Angelina and Brad is way cool.

There are rumors all over the place that Angelina and Brad are going to move to Lloyd Neck Harbor, New York while Angelina films her latest movie, Edwin A. Salt. Filming is said to last through the summer. They will be renting the Lloyd Neck estate known as Sassafras, which is on the market for more than $60 million. The 48-acre estate once made the Forbes list of the 10 most expensive homes in North America. I wonder if they’ll even leave their estate since the property has three houses — one at 22,000 square feet — as well as two helipads, tennis courts, a pool, and a private cove with a dock. With all that – they don’t have any reason to leave.

This isn’t their actual house – but it may as well be.

Anyone else from New York hoping to catch a glimpse of this iconic couple??

Angelina Jolie’s Bodyguard to Write Tell All

It looks like we are going to have another person involved in the he said, she said saga between Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie.

Angelina Jolie’s former bodyguard is planning a tell-all book which will set out to prove that Angelina moved in on partner, Brad Pitt while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston.

According to In Touch Magazine, Angelina is trying to block the expose which will also tell all of the intimate details of her courtship and sex life with Brad.

The bodyguard was reportedly fired by Brad Pitt in 2008.

A source tells In Touch, the bodyguard never signed a confidentiality agreement and could be in the clear when it comes to revealing all about the Hollywood couple.

At this point I can’t help but think – Does it I really matter?? It’s been a few years since Brad and Jen were together and telling everyone the “details” is not going to reunite them.  Is it going to stop anyone from seeing either Angelina or Brad’s movie??   What do you think -  would you want to read the “tell all”??

Academy Award Nominations Announced Today

The Acamedy Award nominations were announced this AM. This should have been up this morning but the day has gone way too fast to achieve my goal of getting the articles out on a timely basis. Sorry about that!!

This year’s most nominated film was “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” with 13 nominations and Meryl Streep extended her lead as the most nominated performer with her 15th nomination.

As always, there were a couple of surprises associated with the nominations. Kate Winslet, who won two Golden Globes this year, was expected to receive two Oscar nods. She was only given one for Best Actress for “The Reader” and not “Revolutionary Road”. Heath Ledger’s, “The Dark Knight” was expected to be nominated for best film but was passed over. In the past, the Golden Globe Awards was a good indicator of who was going to be nominated for the Oscars but I guess this may no longer be the case.

Golden Globe Highlights

Rather than providing a list of all of the winners for the Golden Globe Awards, I have decided to go with a summary of the evening and some highlights. Of course – I will provide a link to the winners for anyone that may be interested.

Jennifer Lopez, who looked fabulous in her very revealing gold gown, arrived with Marc Lopez but once again no wedding ring on her finger. Of course – this peaks the our interest since this is supposed to be a “sign” that their marriage is not doing well. Now we are all just confused – are they at the breaking point or not??

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were both shut out and neither received the new Golden Globe – but on the positive side – they have each other. What more could you ask for??  That is an award in itself.

Heath Ledger won a Golden Globe for best supporting actor for his role as the Joker in the Dark Knight. He also expected to receive an Oscar nomination on January 22nd, – the 1st anniversary of his untimely death.

Some of the funnier moments included a speech by Tina Fey who stated,

“If you ever start to feel too good about yourself, they have this thing called the Internet. You can find a lot of people who don’t like you.” She then listed several screen names of her online critics and told them each to “suck it.”

Gotta love it. Thankfully, I only have good things to say about Tina.

One of the more embarrassing moments had to be for Rumer Willis. Her mom, DemiMoore was nice enough to reprimand her in front of millions. Demi told Rumor,

“Ru, I’m very proud of you and I love you. And don’t hunch. Shoulders back!”

Ouch!!

As promised, here is a link to all of the Golden Globe winners.
