Last night in New York, some of the most recognized celebrities came out to honor everyday people who accomplished amazing things this year. The event was CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute, which featured performances from Mary J. Blige and Sheryl Crow along with presentations by Anderson Cooper and Tyra Banks among others. Ty-Ty did not dress down for the occasion. From a 12-year-old leukemia patient who made it his mission to register fellow minorities as bone marrow donors to a Seattle man who opened a clinic in Kenya to a teenager who developed a music program to help kids with autism, the honorees were an incredible group.
The Grammy nominations were announced yesterday and around the corner are the Golden Globe nominations along with plenty more critics and groups announcing their awards. Most recently the National Board of Review declared their honors and Ben Affleck should be very proud. Along with brother Casey's Best Supporting Actor win for The Assassination of Jesse James, Amy Ryan also won Best Supporting Actress for Gone Baby Gone. The biggest accomplishment is that Ben was honored with a win for Best Directorial Debut for Gone Baby Gone. This is just the start of a great holiday season for Ben!
Some lucky ladies (and a few men) came out in London last night to view the Chanel Métiers d’Art Collection — check out gorgeous photos of the pieces here. Of course, beautiful little Emma Watson was front and center for her favorite fashion house alongside fellow fashionistas Thandie Newton (who will literally not miss a party these days) and Claudia Schiffer among others. From looking pretty adult to looking perfectly age appropriate here, Emma Watson is quickly becoming a favorite starlet. Checking out new Chanel and schmoozing with some of the most respected actresses and models in the world? Not a bad way to spend a chilly December night.
Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson were showing a lot of skin (maybe too much) as they laughed it up and went for a swim in a Peruvian jungle on Wednesday. We haven't seen much of Woody since his days on the beach with Matthew McConaughey, but hey, the guy loves himself a man date. Even though these photos are making us giggle, Woody and Owen were actually in Peru for a good cause — they were visiting an orphanage near Cuzco that both actors support. Considering his rough moment this year, Owen's extended tropical vacations (and new model girlfriend) seem well deserved.
