Yes, even gorgeous and talented folks like Kristen Bell had a rough time in high school. OK, so maybe not Bell, but the character she plays in You Again: Marni, a successful exec who feels like the nerdy girl she was in high school again when she finds out that her brother is marrying the cheerleader who made her life unbearable.

The mean girl theme intensifies when her mom, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, meets her own high school rival: Ramona, played by Sigourney Weaver. Betty White shows up, as does Kristin Chenoweth (because why not?), and Bell is charming as ever, even if I don't quite buy that she could ever be a loser.

The Governors Ball was the first stop for many of the winners and presenters after last night's Oscars ceremony. Best actress Sandra Bullock went from chatting about her award in the press room to the afterparty, where she shared a special moment with her supportive husband, Jesse James. Maggie Gyllenhaal didn't claim a statue for Crazy Heart, but she continued the family evening by joining her mother Naomi Foner for a bite. Barbara Streisand cuddled up to Gerard Butler, while Diane Kruger brought her Chanel gown from the red carpet to the ball.

Oprah Winfrey joined Gabourey Sidibe after her touching introduction during the best supporting actress presentation. Zoe Saldana stayed in her voluminous dress, which led the way for the evening's slitty trend. Neil Patrick Harris, meanwhile, relaxed with David Burtka after his amazing opening number. Sigourney Weaver was happy to let her hair down with Anna Kendrick despite Avatar's not winning best picture, but Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal were thrilled their film The Hurt Locker took home the accolade.

Last night's big winners went from accepting their awards on stage straight into the press room, where Sandra Bullock humbly spoke about her honor. Kathryn Bigelow was visibly moved after being the first female to pick up best director for The Hurt Locker, though she's looking forward to a day when gender becomes a moot point. Rachel McAdams and Jake Gyllenhaal were flanking Geoffrey Fletcher, who picked up best screenplay for Precious.

Mo'Nique and Christoph Waltz brought their supporting actor gold in for a few photos, while Jeff Bridges joked about starting a band with Colin Farrell. Molly Ringwald and Matthew Broderick joined other actors from John Hughes films to chat after their touching tribute to the late director. There's lots more to come from Hollywood's biggest night, including all the afterparties, so stay tuned!

Sigourney Weaver matched the Oscars red carpet in a belted, one-shoulder Lanvin gown that accentuated her statuesque presence. A jeweled brooch was pinned smartly on her shoulder and tied in nicely with her diamond bracelet and delicate drop earrings. The David Meister dress shown here has a similar feel, so be sure to shop it, along with these other like items, now!

The amfAR charity managed to get big names to come out in the NYC snow last night for its annual gala. The year's event honored longtime friend of the organization Natasha Richardson, whose mother Vanessa Redgrave posed with her sister Joely Richardson on the red carpet. Joining the women were other stars gearing up for Fashion Week, which starts today, like Mary-Kate Olsen, Ashley Olsen, and Zoe Saldana. Heidi Klum took time off from working on Germany's Next Top Model, while Chloe Sevigny enjoyed her second evening out in a row after Tuesday's party celebrating How to Make It in America's upcoming debut.

The gang was treated to a performance from Lady Gaga, who was back in top form wearing one of her typically eclectic costumes with pearls on her face. Right by Gaga's side was Cyndi Lauper, with both ladies enjoying some fun after their long day of interviews promoting their new lipsticks benefiting MAC's AIDS fund. Meryl Streep also took the stage to address a crowd that included Eliza Dushku and Rick Fox. The party was all about philanthropy, but there were good times to be had for Heidi Klum, Michael Kors, Zoe Kravitz, and Doutzen Kroes.

I'm actually really curious about Tim Allen's directorial debut, the indie comedy Crazy on the Outside. It's not just the words "director" and "indie" appearing with Allen's name, it's the cast of actors he's assembled that I'm interested in.

Sigourney Weaver and J.K. Simmons play the siblings of Tommy, Allen's character, who has just been released from prison and is trying to settle back into the real world. Plenty of folks pop up to derail him, including Ray Liotta and Julie Bowen. If none of those actors are enticing enough, in saunters Big Love's Jeanne Tripplehorn as Tommy's parole officer and romantic foil. It looks kind of interesting, even if the plot of a guy trying to make good isn't anything new. There's at least one laugh out loud moment from Weaver, who I love seeing in comedic roles.

By now you've probably heard a thing or two about Avatar — how it took nearly 15 years to get made, how it cost around $500 million, etc. A lot is riding on the film's success, and with a run time of two and a half hours and an outlandish sci-fi storyline, this is not your sure-bet family comedy. I know some of you are on the fence, but the special effects make this one worth the price of admission — and then some.

Director James Cameron creates a world called Pandora, an Earth-like moon full of colorful creatures and a tribe of 10-foot tall natives called the Na'vi. It's the year 2154; humans are suffering from an energy crisis, so they begin mining Pandora for a mineral called Unobtainium. The only problem is that the Na'vi village sits on top of the largest deposit.

Enter Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a paraplegic Marine who arrives to Pandora among a group of ex-soldiers hired by the Resources Development Administration (RDA) and its facilitator Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi). With the help of the group's scientists led by Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver), Jake becomes a "driver" of their latest technology — an avatar of the Na'vi body for the purpose of living among them and gaining their trust. Which he does, but not without his share of problems.
