JADA PINKETT DOESN’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT

What we REALLY want to know is how did Jada Pinkett feel about her husband Will’s behavior at the Oscars! She has kept conspicuously quiet about the issue. Do you suppose she felt GRATEFUL that Will “chivalrously” defended her against Chris Rock’s remarks? Keep in mind, being compared to Demi Moore in G.I.Jane is HARDLY an insult. Certainly Will violently overreacted, but did Jada secretly appreciate it? Or was she appalled and HUMILIATED? Jada happened to look fabulous on Oscar night and Will’s behavior pulled attention away from her and everyone else. We’ve heard about their marriage problems – will this help or hurt their relationship? Jada will be criticized either way – whether she supports Will’s behavior or condones it – so we think she will NOT comment. Meanwhile, we don’t think Chris Rock did anything wrong and he carried on like a trouper. We also think Will’s “people” forced him to make that apology today to avoid getting kicked out of the Academy.

Chris Rock G.I. Jane Oscars Slap Will Smith

WILL SMITH WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

At least in our opinion. We remember meeting Will Smith back in the 90’s when The Fresh Prince of Bel Air made him a star. It was backstage at an award show and Will was a sweet guy who seemed to talk about God a lot. That nice guy image was shattered on the Oscars last night when Will turned into a monster – for no logical reason- leaping onstage and smacking Chris Rock in the face, threatening and cursing on live TV, – because Chris made a mild – and not unflattering – joke about Jada Pinkett’s shaved head and Demi Moore’s film G.I. Jane. Shockingly, Smith was not removed from the audience, and he went on to win the Best Actor Oscar. His rambling, tearful acceptance speech only made him seem MORE out of control. Mental problems? Substance problems? Of ALL people – Will Smith? Everyone is wondering today…

Academy Awards Anti-vax Beyoncé Oscars Proof of Vaccination

IS BEYONCE ANTI-VAX?

Because she was nominated for her song Be Alive from King Richard, Beyonce is blessing the Oscars with a much-needed live performance on the show. The website Gawker has calculated the it is highly probable that Beyonce is NOT vaccinated. The Oscars require that all nominees and guests show proof of vaccination and negative tests before they can attend the show. Strangely, PERFORMERS and presenters will only need to be tested in accordance with LA County rules. Did the Academy have different rules for performers because they REALLY want Beyonce on the show? Also suspicious- recently Beyonce did NOT attend the ceremony when her husband Jay-Z was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame– where proof of vaccination was required.

Best Dressed Carey Mulligan Oscars Valentino

CAREY MULLIGAN IS STILL A WINNER

Carey Mulligan may not have won a Best Actress Oscar, but she won our Best Dressed vote. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen a significant group of red carpet gowns, so the Oscars were a welcome relief. After reviewing all the choices, (and seeing this Vogue photo) we decided Carey Mulligan’s Valentino Couture gown was the most amazing dress at the Oscars. It fit perfectly and it’s not a dress we feel like we’ve seen before. Carey was surrounded by a sea of sexy low cut gowns with high slits and she remains elegant without all that skin displayed. We can only imagine the size of the vehicle she arrived in, with this huge skirt….

Best Dressed Charlize Theron Dior Oscars Vanity Fair

CHARLIZE THERON : BEST DRESSED AT VANITY FAIR PARTY

WOW- we almost missed this amazing outfit! We’ve seen plenty of fringed dresses in our years of fashion observation, but Charlize Theron’s gold fringe Dior is the all-time best! And walking only makes it look better. Charlize, who happens to be the face of Dior, wore another dress on stage at the Oscars, and for some reason saved this metallic beauty for the Vanity Fair after-party.

Billy Porter Marijuana Med Men Oscars

BILLY PORTER WOULDN’T LEAVE TOWN WITHOUT IT

Billy Porter put on quite a show at the Oscars – his extravagant attire was the talk of the red carpet, and he performed in the opening musical number with Janelle Monae. After the show, he changed into yet another outrageous outfit and went on to party all night. The next day he had a London flight to catch, but he made time to stop at the West Hollywood Med Men marijuana dispensary to pick up a bagful of goodies for the road!

Bad Fashion Heidi Klum Oscars Worst Dressed

HEIDI KLUM: WORST DRESSED OSCAR NIGHT

Really? Is there a dress that can make gorgeous Heidi Klum look awful – and common? Believe it or not, Heidi found a gown that makes even HER look bad. Maybe she wore this unflattering frock as a favor to a friend in design school. The proportions are amateurish, the fabric looks cheap and baggy- and the real crime is that this actually makes Heidi look around 40 pounds heavier than she is! Take it home and burn it!

Judy Oscars Renee Zellweger

RENEE ZELLWEGER HAS A LOCK ON THAT OSCAR

Renee Zellweger was in Paris this week at the premier of her film Judy, but of course she’ll be back in time for Oscar parties. Everyone seems to agree that she will take home the Best Actress Oscar, so it’s rather discouraging for the other nominees. We were not crazy about the Judy movie, and although Renee was excellent, we thought Charlize Theron was equally amazing in Bombshell. LOVE this photo of Rene cuddling somebody’s “wolf-dog” puppy after the Judy premier.

Academy Awards Host Jack Black Jimmy Kimmel Joe Jonas Oscars

JOE JONAS AND JACK BLACK CONDUCT THEIR OWN HOLLYWOOD BUS TOUR

Tourists in Hollywood all wanted tickets for the Ultimate Hollywood Tour bus today because they saw that Joe Jonas and Jack Black were hosting a tour! It was only for one ride, however, because they were filming a segment for some project. Remember a few years ago when Jimmy Kimmel was hosting the Oscars, he had a tour bus hijacked and the tourists were told they were going inside a building to see a costume exhibit. It was actually a side entrance to the Dolby Theater and the tourists found themselves on live TV staring at movie stars in the front row! Jimmy WAS a fun Oscar host!

Best Dressed Crazy Rich Asians Gemma Chan Oscars

CRAZY RICH ASIAN GEMMA CHAN IS BEST DRESSED AND PAIN-FREE!

Crazy Rich Asians star Gemma Chan is our pick for Best Dressed at the Oscars for SO many reasons! Start with the hot pink color – and we love the fluttery collar framing her face. The pleating and detailing of the layers of fabric is luscious and it goes on forever. This modern gown has NO restrictions! It’s not tight anywhere, just graceful and feminine. No need for industrial strength spanx or other compressive underwear or tape – Gemma actually looks comfortable – a look you rarely see at the Oscars! We would give anything to see a photo of Gemma (and other actresses in bouffant gowns) as they are SITTING in the theater. Where do they put all that skirt – do they roll it up on their laps – stuff half on their date’s lap? Inquiring minds want to know…
