WTF Selma Blair?!

PopSugar — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 17:11:09 -0800

Selma came out to a screening of Pan's Labyrinth the other night in LA. While the night was supposed to be about the film, we can't doubt that there was much ado made over Selma's new haircut. She really seems to be digging her do which leads us to believe she may have cut her hair like this on purpose! Still, we're holding out hope that she's doing a film that's set in the 80's and that it grows out really quick.

Reese Brings Her Smile to the LAFCA Awards

PopSugar — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 10:06:57 -0800

The 32nd Annual Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards were last night and some of the most respected people in show biz were in attendance. You know an award show is a big deal when both Steven Spielberg and Clint Eastwood show up! It might have helped that their film Letters from Iwo Jima was voted Best Picture of the Year. Sacha Baron Cohen tied with Forest Whitaker for Best Actor! That's quite an accomplishment for such a newcomer! Reese wasn't up for any awards this year, but she's always a favorite among critics and us as well. She may be going through a divorce but you never would have known it by the way she was acting last night. Good to see her smiling once again!
