Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Oscar-winning actress Mo’Nique revealed she had a major wardrobe malfunction just hours before the ceremony.

The star, who picked up the Best Supporting Actress gong for her role in Precious, revealed to E! that just before the start of the 82nd Academy Awards she had a fashion disaster.

The actress said: “I had a wardrobe malfunction! It happened while I was getting dressed.”

Mo’Nique wouldn’t go in to details but laughed about the incident, which saw her change into the blue Tadashi Shoji dress.

She said: “We just chuckled and were like: ‘We got to find something new.’ I’m just so thankful and appreciative. This covers everything up in all the right places.”

George Clooney takes time out to meet fans

Monday, March 8th, 2010


George Clooney took time out from the red carpet to meet fans who couldn’t get into the show.

The Up In The Air star got out of his limo outside Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre but avoided going straight into the Oscar ceremony.

Instead, the star spent more than 30 minutes walking along the street and pushing his fingers through an 2.5m-high chain-link fence.

He signed autographs for a few lucky fans who managed to get their pens over to the star as others went wild at the sight of him.

Christoph Waltz offered sex

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Inglourious Basterds star Christoph Waltz was offered oral sex by a starstruck female fan ahead of the Oscars.

The actor – who went on to win Best Supporting Actor at Sunday night’s Awards – is said to have “looked amused” when the leggy blonde made a play for him.

But Waltz, 53, laughed and declined the offer at producer Harvey Weinstein’s pre-Oscar party.

An onlooker said: “Waltz was surrounded by women all night.

“Everybody wanted to congratulate him on his performance. But one woman went further and announced, ‘I give great b*owjobs.’”

Also at the bash at the Soho House club in Los Angeles were Quentin Tarantino, Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Rafaeli, Gerard Butler, Tom Ford, Carey Mulligan, Olivia Wilde, Adrien Brody, Gabourey Sidibe, Laurence Fishburne and Colin Firth.

Beyonce is not in Denial

Oscar night was a big old bomb for Beyonce. First, the usually stunning singer hit the red carpet in one of the ugliest dresses of the night. What’s even sadder about that is that the dress was made by her mom Tina. Then, come show time, it looked like Beyonce had to lip synch to get through her lavish performance with host Hugh Jackman. When Oscar officials were asked about the alleged lip syncing, they said “As is the case with any live event of this scale and scope, there are always elements of the show that are pre-recorded. But I will not go into detail about which elements were on this show.” A spokesperson for Beyonce also failed to respond when members of the press asked about it too. Her having no comment is just making me think even more that she was indeed lip synching.

Hugh Jackman gets a “thumbs up” for hosting job

The World’s Sexiest Man Alive probably has another career in store for him in case his appeal as Wolverine wanes. Sexy man Hugh Jackman has proven he is not only a ladies man and an action man but also a stage man as he successfully hosted last Sunday’s Oscar’s Awards without anyone dozing off during the almost four-hour show. It was clear the Hugh Jackman was having a ball with his hosting job and this has rubbed off on the audience who got a good laugh with his spiels. It was probably a novelty seeing an actor with a good sense of humor and an Australian accent at that hosting the show instead of a comedian.

Hugh Jackman opened the show with a spoof of the best picture nominees for this year through a musical number. Despite criticisms from some sectors about the reformatting of the Oscar’s, the show was overall a success and the 6% increase in viewership ratings over last year is proof of that. The show was long enough to keep everyone bored but it seems Hugh Jackman was able to hold on to the audience at times when they were already prepared to fall off their sleep. He also did a number with Beyonce and the rest of the High School Musical gang.
