Victoria Beckham is still bouncing around LA trying to find a new home for her family (seriously, why is she not finding a way to bring that husband of hers with her on some of these ventures? And don't give me that soccer excuse) and looking stylish as ever as she does it. Honestly, does this woman ever have a sloppy day? She must not, because according to Simon Fuller, former Spice Girls manager and the man who negotiated David's move to the LA Galaxy, she's signed a lucrative deal with NBC to develop a reality series about her move to LA. Hmm, so I guess those rumors may have been true after all. Here's more:
"The Americans were falling over themselves to sign Victoria up for a TV show but we had to choose the right deal for her. NBC won out in the end as they have really taken a shine to Vic's hilarious sense of humour and they want to capitalise on this.
"She is a funny lady and this new series will show this to the world."
The supposed show, which will not feature her husband or sons, will be a comedic look (hey, she's got it in her) at Posh as she settles in to her American life. It would be like the Osbournes, but without a trillion small dogs. And less crazy. And without a rambling Ozzy. And there would probably be fewer cold cuts thrown at neighbors. Okay, nothing like The Osbournes.
We missed Jake at the Oscars last night, but luckily we won't have to wait much longer to see him on the big screen again. Jake was in NYC last night visiting David Letterman to promote his new movie, Zodiac, which opens on Friday. While the film is already receiving acclaim, it seems that director David Fincher was very demanding of his cast. Jake recently spoke out about his frustration with Fincher's need to excessively shoot certain scenes. Here's more:
Mr. Gyllenhaal said he came from a collaborative filmmaking family: “We share ideas, and we incorporate those ideas.” He added: “David knows what he wants, and he’s very clear about what he wants, and he’s very, very, very smart. But sometimes we’d do a lot of takes, and he’d turn, and he would say, because he had a computer there” — the movie was shot digitally — “ ‘Delete the last 10 takes.’ And as an actor that’s very hard to hear.”
And he noted that other members of the “Zodiac” cast had far more experience, adding: “I wish I could’ve had the maturity to be like: ‘I know what he wants. He wants the best out of me.’ ”
Poor Jakey G. Even though he sounds a bit whiny in this article, we still feel for the guy. We can't wait to see if all his hard work pays off at the box office this weekend. In the meantime, to enjoy more yummy pics of Jake looking dapper in his grey suit just read more
Drew's relaxing and nature-y birthday vacation in Hawaii may have ended, but that doesn't mean she's coming home empty handed. By that, I mean she's got her rumored new flame, director Spike Jonze, by her side in the airport on the way home. And now that we look back, he was certainly looking pretty close to Drew in the water the other day (good detective skills or why didn't we notice the first time? You decide). As I mentioned before, I'm all for this precious indie pairing and I expect to hear more of their hip music show outings soon.* After all, if Cameron's so happy to be third wheeling it, he's gotta be a pretty good guy for her girl Drew.
Sharon Stone was happy to make her presence known around Los Angeles this weekend (see Independent Spirit Awards, Elton John's Oscar Party, the Vanity Fair Party), but she just couldn't find the time to stop by the one award show where she was actually a winner (loser?) -- The Razzies. Basic Instinct 2 dominated the show, while Sharon herself took home, or didn't take home considering she wasn't there, the Razzie for Worst Actress for her role in the film. For the full list of winners (again, losers?) click here.
Sure, the Razzies are given away for the worst performances of the year, but there should always be room for a little self-deprecating humor (see: Halle Berry's acceptance speech when receiving her Worst Actress Razzie for Catwoman), especially when the movie that you're nominated for is as universally mocked as Basic Instinct 2. I'd make a light hearted plea for Sharon to get over herself, but I think that may be too much to ask. Plus, Cruella de Stone sort of terrifies me.
For those lucky enough to win, The Oscar party continued at the Kodak Theater Governor's Ball after the show. They compared the sizes of their little gold men and basked in the general glow of each other. We don't blame them, so many of last night's winners waited for decades to get the recognition they deserve. Not just Martin Scorsese but Alan Arkin and Forest Whitaker as well. In case you missed it, here's a complete list of winners. As for the Sugar Network contest, we would like to congratulate the top winners of our ballot contest. The Grand Prize Prada Bag Winner is.... LegallyBlonder with 20 out of 24 correct!!!! Other runners up are Alliebelle and Witchy Ways with 19 and slashyelizabeth with 18 correct. They will enjoy some sweet cash to our favorite stores, Neiman Marcus, Apple and Sephora. Congrats to all and thanks for playing.

None of these fabulous people took home an Oscar but who cares? They're all good in our book, especially when they team up with someone equally as fabulous and then they qualify for our Cutest Oscar poll. So forget acting or singing - how about the equally hard task of just standing around and looking adorable with a significant other, BFF, kid, or all of the above? Who do you think was the cutest coupling on the red carpet last night?
Singer and actress Selena Gomez posed for pictures at the 2009 American Music Awards with a pretty pink smile on her face. She took advantage of the occasion and went glam; wearing a Talbot Runhof sequin dress with black strappy heels.
