On a balmy autumn day in Vancouver, a young man is longing for a walk outside in the sunshine, and deciding against it. Far easier for him to stay in his hotel room, cocooned in five-star luxury with a mobile phone that has run out of charge, safe at least from the girls chanting his name outside. Robert Pattinson, 23 and from Barnes in southwest London, ought still to be one of Hollywood’s beautiful dreamers, moving up the ranks of movie acting, enjoying his American adventure, his guitar, his good looks.

The cavernous photography studio in New York City is bustling with fashion assistants, hair and makeup stylists, and models chatting in white terry robes. All typical on a photo shoot, but when the robes come off, you see what's different.

I miss the days when Boogie and I used to take turns recapping the awards shows. Actually, I miss Boogie, period, but that's a whole 'nuther story.
Anyway, Boog has recapped the SAG awards on her blog but I haven't looked at them yet as I wanted to recap them myself and didn't want her choices to affect mine.
