Anchorman 2 to Take Us Back to Pleasure Town, Time 100 Needs Your Influence and Guess v. Gucci

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

- Uggs is launching an “upscale” men’s collection. I’d usually insert a joke here, but why be redundant? [WWD, sub req'd]

- Franca Sozzani may or may not be married. Either way, she probably doesn’t care whether you think she is or not. [Huff Po]

- I wanna say something. I’m gonna put it out there. If you like it, you can take it, if you don’t, send it right back: Anchorman 2. [Deadline]

Three Time Academy Award Winner Meryl Streep, Everyone

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Well, the Oscars literally put me to sleep. Maybe I saw too much Marchesa on the red carpet and I succumbed to the proliferation of shots, but I was comatose by 10, 10:30. Billy Crystal did what he could in his 9th stint as host, a thankless job if there ever was one, but the show nonetheless dragged on and I tapped out around Best Cinematography. Therefore I missed Meryl Streep picking up her third Oscar, Jean Dujardin sticking it to George Clooney and The Artist becoming the first silent film to win the Best Picture Oscar since 1929. Damn you Georgina Chapman.

2012 BAFTA Nominations Announced

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Awards season is in full swing as we inch ever closer to the grand daddy of them all, the 2012 Academy Awards. The next step on the road to Oscar is its British equivalent, the BAFTAs. The Artist is quickly emerging as a front-runner favorite this year, scoring nominations in all the major categories including  Best Film, Leading Actor, Leading Actress, Best Director and Original Screenplay. Meanwhile, Meryl Streep and Michelle Williams, fresh off their Golden Globe wins, will go head-to-head against The Artist‘s Bérénice Bejo, Tilda Swinton for We Need to Talk About Kevin and Viola Davis for The Help in what is easily the most competitive and interesting category. And chances are the same names will be read out come Oscar night. But until then, full list of the 2012 BAFTA nominees after the jump!

“The Artist,” “The Descendants,” Meryl and George Win Big at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Hollywood’s wildest night was a bit on the tame side as the 2012 Golden Globes lapsed into occasional coma. Host Ricky Gervais was more well-behaved and seemingly less drunk this year than last — a bad decision on both counts —  though there was some well-played shtick regarding Jodie Foster‘s Beaver. The stars, however, came prepared with their own jokes with the best comeback of the night courtesy of Best Original Song winner, Madonna. After being introduced by Gervais, Madge quipped: “If I’m just like a virgin, Ricky why don’t you come over here and do something it? I haven’t kissed a girl in quite a few years…” A collective snap arose from the Beverly Hilton after the Material Girl dropped that sass bomb, though to be fair, she’s been on a roll as of late. The rest of the night was a series of mild shock — mostly thanks to Angelina Jolie‘s inspiring scary skeletal frame — and even milder surprises thanks to a few upsets in the TV category where shows no one watches nabbed some of the top prizes while  in the film category. No one was shocked, however, when Meryl Streep won Best Actress in a Drama, except Meryl Streep, who garnered another Globe for that reaction on her way up to accept for The Iron Lady. Full list of winners after the jump!

The 69th Annual Golden Globes Nominations Also in Love with Ryan Gosling

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

It’s been one hell of a year for a certain occasionally-bearded, dog-loving thespian cum hunk cum meme. While some — read: everyone — feel  he was unjustly robbed of another award earlier this year, Ryan Gosling is getting a double dose of appreciation from the 69th annual Golden Globe Awards. He’s pulled quite the hat-trick, getting nominated twice this year for Best Actor in a Comedy and Drama. Bradley Cooper was, to the surprise of everyone — read: no one — was not nominated for Limitless. 

Another Case of Couture Crookery as Louis Vuitton Heisted from French Airport

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Thieves, it seems, are acquiring a taste for high fashion, or at least for Marc Jacobs. First , the diligent designer’s spring 2012 collection was stolen from a London-bound train two weeks ago and now over $400,000 in Louis Vuitton has been lifted from an airport outside of Paris. 

La-Di-Da: Chico’s Taps Diane Keaton for Holiday Campaign

Uma Thurman: Cannes Best Dressed List

Edited by Megan Turley

Uma Thurman has always been an A-List actress, but at Cannes last month, Uma took her fashion choices to the next level and blew the competition out of the water. Thurman sat alongside Jude Law, Robert De Niro and six others on the 64^th Annual Cannes Film Festival jury, requiring that she not only watch all 20 films in the competition, but also attend red carpet premiers, photo calls and after-parties in her Cannes best.
