In quintessential NY fashion, black ruled at the 17th annual Gotham Awards in Brooklyn last night. Maggie, Uma and Keri all went with it, leaving only Kerry Washington to brighten up the carpet in blue. Into the Wild and Sicko won the best film categories for feature film and documentary respectively. Juno's Ellen Page received the breakthrough acting award, finishing off what must have been an awesome day for the 20-year-old after her Independent Spirit Award nomination. Check out the full list of winners here. The night also featured tributes honoring Robert Ebert, Javier Bardem (who I can't look at the same way ever since I saw No Country for Old Men, but did look hot last night) and Mayor Bloomberg. What do you think, are we getting our first insight into Oscar nods?

Johnny Depp piled on the layers to brave the London cold, but was still recognizable in his purple tinted glasses and hat on Monday. Not many men can pull off the double denim look, but somehow Johnny looks effortlessly cool. Despite keeping his life so private, people can't get enough of Johnny — he was just named one of 2007's most popular on EW's Entertainers of the Year list and is once again rightfully among People's Sexiest Men. Plus, his sixth collaboration with his great friend Tim Burton, Sweeney Todd, is one of the most anticipated movies left this year. We are among the many who can't wait to see him bring this dark and gory musical to the big screen, though we'll hopefully also get to see his more Manjoyable side at the red carpet premieres.
The stars of The Golden Compass took their fantasy world to the red carpet in London Tuesday night. Nicole Kidman looked flawless (and allegedly botox-free) on Keith's arm, while Hugh Grant was perfectly nonchalant with his undone buttons. Daniel Craig looked stone faced, as did his ex Bond girl Eva Green, but he sounded excited about his new movie. He said, "It's a bit of escapism... and the special effects have come such a long way that it's now possible to go to places that you wouldn't have been able to even five years ago." We could all use a bit of escape during the hectic holiday season and this fantasy adventure could be just the ticket.
TV Drinks: 30 Rock — Nancy Drew AKA Hardy Boy A few weeks ago, there was a great moment on 30 Rock that made me laugh out loud. Alec Baldwin's character, Jack Donaghy, says to the bartender, "I'll have a white rum with diet ginger ale and a splash of lime." Fast forward a few seconds later and the bartender presents him with his drink, "The Nancy Drew."
Ashlee Simpson showed off her sultry eyes (but no smiles) for the December issue of Cosmo Girl. She's got a new album coming out this month and a new found confidence to go along with it. I must say that I've always had a soft spot for Ash, despite all her ridiculousness, so I'm giving her a big high five for being (or at least seeming) happy. In the magazine she talks about her new music, and her boy Pete. Here's a highlight from her interview:
People expected me to do even more of a rock record because of Pete, but I went in the opposite direction. This is a fun party album, and I get to be kind of cheeky for the first time — silly and quirky, like my friends and I can be sometimes. For me, the music on the album just came naturally. I trusted my instincts, and I'm proud about the results. It's a record in which I'm saying, 'I am woman and I won't take anyone's s***.' I felt free to be fun and crazy and sexy, and that's what I did. Pete's not on this record at all — we're so different musically. He likes to do his own thing and I do my own. He listened to it, though, as I was making it. I couldn't not let him listen to it! He's a great sounding board and very supportive. Pete and I complement each other. We are best friends and we encourage each other. I think that is so important in any relationship — it builds a solid foundation."
Kristin Cavallari went for a coffee run in LA, mixing elements of glamour with punk rock. She spiced up her jeans and white tank with a black fringe vest, her go-to Alexander Wang studded duffel bag, and some nude Brian Atwood pumps.
