OBSERVATIONS AT THE GOLDEN GLOBES 2011

A few offhand comments about the Golden Globes: Certainly the biggest news of the night was Justin Bieber’s new haircut. It looks like some stylist talked him into feathering that helmet hair he’s held onto and he really doesn’t look happy about it. We all have to grow up sometime. It wouldn’t be a special event without Rob Pattinson – his arrival elicited the most screams from the fans outside by a long shot. Finally, we think Megan Fox is a classic beauty, but this is 2011 and tattoos on the red carpet look SOOO tired.

Entourage Golden Globes Jeremy Piven

JEREMY PIVEN MAY HAVE ENCOUNTERED SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T WATCH ENTOURAGE

Jeremy Piven’s claimed “mercury poisoning” from eating too much sushi got him a lot of attention from press and fans at the HBO bash after the Golden >Globes. He was responding to questions from entertainment reporter Sue Facter when a guy with a camera tapped him on the shoulder. Jeremy smiled, assuming the guy wanted a photo but the guy HANDED Piven the camera and asked him to take a photo of him with pretty blonde “E!” hostess Ashlan Gorse. Looking perturbed, Jeremy complied, but he rolled his eyes and couldn’t BELIEVE he wasn’t recognized.

Dogs Golden Globes Mickey Rourke The Wrestler

GOLDEN GLOBE WINNER MICKEY ROURKE KNOWS WHO HIS REAL FRIENDS ARE

Photo Credit: Splash News

Best Actor Mickey Rourke really won us over at the Golden Globes when he thanked his dogs in his acceptance speech. He commented that “they were with him when no one else was” and made a sentimental reference to his present and past dogs. He looked like he had a tear in his eye and we suddenly wondered if his constant companion – his beloved 16 year old chihuahua Loki, was no longer alive. To our immense relief, we were told that Loki is doing fine. And SO is Mickey.

Golden Globes

THE HOLLYWOOD FOREIGN PRESS IS ON EVERYBODY'S GIFT LIST

Certainly the most popular people in town this time of year are the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, who present The Golden Globes. A friend of ours lives in the same building as an HFPA member and he’s astonished at the number of gifts delivered to the foreign reporter. Gifts from studios, from talent agencies on behalf of actors, PR people etc. In October there were Halloween gifts – – baskets of wine, exotic coffees, pies, expensive chocolates etc. Big deliveries almost every day! Thanksgiving brought gourmet pumpkin pies, Sprinkles cupcakes (from Nicole Kidman – he sneaked a peek at the tag,) orchid plants galore, pistachio nuts, dozens of Krispy Kreme donuts, and floral arrangements. Our nosey neighbor also observed the delivery of a large $375 Jo Malone candle from England. We happen to LIKE the Foreign Press people and we’re more than a little envious, but now that the nominations have been announced, will the gifts INcrease or DEcrease? The bigger question is: will the writers strike scuttle the event altogether? We still think the Golden Globes is the most entertaining award show of all.

Christian Slater Golden Globes Sharon Stone

WE TOLD YOU SO!

We LOVE it when we’re right! Back on December 17 we broke the story about Sharon Stone’s secret romance with Christian Slater. After many denials, they finally gave up pretending it wasn’t happening. They spent the holidays together and Christian managed to have a good time without alcohol. Nobody had high expectations that the romance would continue into the new year, but it HAS! Not only have they made it through the holidays, but they were seen in full make out mode at the Weinstein party at Trader Vic’s after The Golden Globes. They were smooching and pawing each other, paying no attention to who was watching, and we’re HAPPY for them!

HORRORPOPS: BULLET PROOF HAIR

Speaking of beauty preparations for the Golden Globes, we just fell in love with this photo of the female members of the Danish psychobilly band the Horrorpops in the “beauty shop from hell.” We heard they’re on a tour of Canada and the US and this picture alone is enough to make us want to see them.
