2009 Tribeca Film Festival Spotlight: Kate Hudson's Cutlass
I've been perusing the long list of interesting-looking movies scheduled for this year's Tribeca Film Festival, which continues in New York this week. It will be a while till many of the buzzworthy feature films hit theaters, so I'm excited that some of the festival's short films are online for anyone to view. One of those I was particularly curious to see is Cutlass.
Blues, Brights and Pales On The Oscars Red Carpet
You've seen all the winners, and we all know that the second most important thing on Oscar night is the dresses. There was a beautiful mix of colours on the red carpet last night, with some sticking to muted tones in whites and pale creams, pinks and champagnes like Anne Hathaway, Melissa George, Penelope Cruz, Evan Rachel Wood, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Biel. Once you've checked out the gallery let me know which one's your favourite!
Movie Preview: The Haunting in Connecticut
This movie doesn't open until sometime next year, but someone must have wanted to take advantage of the Halloween spirit by releasing the trailer for it now. The Haunting in Connecticut is a based-on-real-events movie in which a family moves to a spooky old home, only to be haunted by the terrible things that happened there years ago. Turns out, their new home used to be a mortuary.
Hancock Swoops Into LA With Smiths Galore and More
After a trip around the world, Hancock hit LA last night with a high profile premiere. The Smith family is quite the red carpet pack now, perfecting the group pose for the camera — Jada was looking especially gorgeous in green — before Will was off to also pose with his costars. The next big movie star (at least in his head) Diddy was there as was Charlize nuzzling up to Stuart and Jason Bateman with his wife.

MK Befuddles Among Otherwise Cute New Years in April
Oh, MK...no...just no. Mary-Kate Olsen looked a touch ridiculous (sad face) at last night's New Year’s in April: A Fool’s Fête event to support New Yorkers for Children. At least her fellow partygoers including the always impeccable Leighton Meester and Emmy Rossum saved the event from being a full on velvet headband debacle.
Celebrities (and Sightings) Still Cycling Through Sundance
While my exhausted tail returned to San Francisco last night, the fun rolls on at Sundance with a whole new group of celebs coming into town to brave the cold and show off their movies. Other than Diddy, who was mostly there to show off his vodka. Lukas Haas separated himself from Leonardo DiCaprio long enough to premiere his movie, Death in Love which Buzz and I saw last night — totally disturbing (though Adam Brody was really cute in it) — before also seeing him out to breakfast this morning.
On A Day of Highs and Lows, Sundances On
While the afternoon took a noticeably somber turn as the news of Heath Ledger's tragic death spread over snowy Park City, the morning was for celebrating as Oscar nomination news came to Sundance. While a lot of the celebrities left with the end of MLK day weekend, there was still swag to be scored for some of them. I was lucky enough to stop by the Pure & Natural Celebrity Eco-Retreat and Iconix "Gift Giving For A Cause" Suite benefiting Save the Children to see all the goodies the celebrities have been snatching up as souvenirs.
Kate Puts On Her Serious Directing Face
Kate Hudson is hard at work in Pasadena on the set of her directorial debut, a short film based on a reader-submitted essay for Glamour, but unlike many first time directors making shorts, she's got some serious star power in her hands. I guess it doesn't hurt to know people in Hollywood. Her movie stars her surrogate dad Kurt Russell, the surprisingly older looking (she's growing up!) Dakota Fanning and Virginia Madsen.
Eva and Rebecca Team Up for Bebe
Eva showed off a new short bob at the Bebe fashion show in LA this weekend. She sported a similar do last month, but it only lasted a day before going back to extensions. This weekend we also got our first peek at Eva's new, hot Bebe Sport ads.
