Pajiba

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look into the eyes of Claire Danes, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Jolie appears to be the most boring person in the world.

For the love of the godly gods...put some DISQUS script in here!

On the annoyance/dis-likability scale, Madonna is on par with any Kardashian. At the VERY top.

I can't say I didn't snort when I got to the Angelina gag. Fried gold!

Three words, ladies:

Little. Black. Dress.

RE Idris's shoes: Did you lose a bet? Come on, man. And is the facial hair for a role? If it's for work, you can keep it. Otherwise, show me that lovely face, darling.

Gerard, even though most of your films are terrible, you're still hot. Please get a goddamn haircut.

I find that picture of Lea Michele profoundly disturbing.

My vote's with all the women who wear red lipstick. When the hell will the black-rimmed-little-beady-eyed/no-lipstick trend end? I'm all for the natural look but it just doesn't go with evening dresses. And especially combined with the blah beige dresses - they just looked washed out.

I thought Angelina looked really nervous on the red carpet. I watched the E! pre-show (shut up!) and, honestly, she looked petrified. I just don't get the Jolie hate, and I'll go on the record that I would sign just about any contract to be on the "amazingly beautiful, rich, and perhaps too thin" train she is riding, even if I have to give up my own caboose.

SWINTON looked magnificent. I love that she eschews makeup and her hair was a magnificent souffle. I've realised that my eyes are shaped like hers. It must be a Scottish thing.

Evan Rachel Wood's dress is museum worthy. She was literally a peacock strutting on the red carpet. More power to her.

Madonna's dress was actually beautiful. The fit and the person in it were the issues. Honest to the God that does not exist but makes some people feel better to believe in, ENOUGH with the botoxed foreheads everyone.

Lea Michele works hard and meets requirements for talent, but (oh, I'm going to say it) isn't good-looking enough to have the career she is angling for. She also looked like an ice skater after a bird had been sucked into a zamboni engine.

Claire Danes will kill you with her eyes.

Good to see I'm not the only one still recovering from momentary contact with those hellpeepers.

"If you blur out her face"

I kinda think she's trying to do exactly that.

You know, its strange...when I look at Madonna in this header pic and the header pic of Dolly Parton two threads down, its like looking at a slack-jawed and blonde haggard version of the Southern Oracle Sphinxes from The Neverending Story. In both cases if you try to pass between them, you're done for.

Only difference is that in the movie the Sphinxes would stare into your soul and rain thunderbolts upon you from their eyes if you found were unworthy. In this version, they star in soulless movies and rain bolts of shame upon the theatergoers for paying unworthy attention to them.

I love Swinton, but I can't help but think she looks like she's on her way to her kid's wedding in that dress - as they say on Project Runway, it's very "Mother of the Bride." But it's Swinton, so no one's gonna rag on her about it too much.

Lea Michelle looks like an overwrought Neve Campbell in that pic.

Angie Jo looks like a [partially] living monument to herself.

Nicole Kidman's face actually looks a lot better than it usually does and her dress was fanTAStic.

Clooney is beginning to look like a particularly handsome chimpanzee.

Laura Dern's dress wasn't my favorite but it fit her beautifully and the color is good on her.

I'm sorry, but I am over SWINTON'S Conan hair, and FFS Kelly Osborne, go. a. WAY.

Oh, also: Never say anything bad about Amanda Peet or I will cut you.

er... my left, her right.

OK, one more and I promise I'll go put that last load in the dryer (yay MLK Day!)

Kate Winslet used to be a happy person, I'm sure of it. I remember her in photos with Emma Thompson looking mildly disheveled and charmingly smiley. Red carpet shots of her looking like she was actually looking forward to the open bar. But now, she looks like Norma Desmond. And she scares me.

Okay, I am ashamed to say, as a gay man, that I am getting a total boner imagining Mirren and Fonda tearing each other's clothes off and going full Bound with it...

Whoa. James Cromwell is stepping out on Babe with Uggie?

Somewhere, that pig is seething... or sizzling.

Personally, I loved Lea Michele's Gozer from Ghostbusters costume. More people should cosplay at the Golden Globes.

Ian wins. Comment of the week right there. For reference, here is a Gozer Gif

Ewwwww, I fucking hate that Madoodoo bitch. Always have, always will. Jesus KEEEE-rist, lady, use some of your Super Bowl lucre and buy a goddamned sense of humor.

She can take her wannabe, faux British accent and her narcissistic, ridiculously self-important speech and "harangue" it right up her you-know-it's-totally-bleached bung hole.

In fact, if she'd just climb completely up her own ass and disappear leaving only a charcoal nugget that I could set on fire I would really like that.

Remember those photos you had featuring a plus size model and a "regular" model? Was Angelina the "regular" model because she has the same sized arms.

I have to say that the top of the Glee girl's dresses look like they are getting ready to compete at the Olympics in Rhythmic Gymnastics! I'm sure I could find a pic around somewhere of similar looking leotards.

I loved Angie's dress and I also really liked Sarah Michelle Gellar's. They both suited each other. I think the same of Laura Dern's. Lovely fit and colour on her.

Lea Michele works hard
---
When did she start mining coal, or working construction, or going on a night patrol outside the green zone? Geez, I get US every week for reasons I have yet to figure out, you'd think they'd have mentioned it. (Celebrities, they're just like us! They mine coal! They build buildings! They sweep for IEDs!)

"works hard." I've seen Kim Kardashian described as "the hardest working woman in show biz" and I want to kill myself with fire.

"works hard." You dance a little and sing some and you learn some lines to pretend to be somebody else.

"works hard." Give me a fucking break.

too bad the tv world was deprived of seeing bejo win something,
anything so they could see her personality leap off the screen as
it does in " the artist ".

Helen Mirren versus Jane Fonda?

What? Can't I have both???

Terrific post!

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
