DivaJulia is temporarily indisposed.

Hey there fans, friends, and families! The year of the Dragon is unfortunately turning into the Year of the Unwell. DivaJulia has asked me to write a quick post to let everyone know that she's temporarily indisposed at the moment. She's in the hospital (nothing life-threatening) and is hoping for a quick recovery, but the WiFi there is spotty at best, and she can't connect to the Internet. The horror!!

So anyhow, I know she'd love to post right now, but she can't. But please come back soon, because we hope to see her out of the Dr's care and back to dishing up celeb stories! Plus we have the lovely Brittani who can also spin that celebrity entertainment you know you love.

Gary Oldman, Adrien Brody, Willem Defoe and Tim Roth Walk In The Prada Mens Fall 2012 Show

Gary Oldman, Adrien Brody, Willem Defoe for Prada 2012 - Milan

If you thought that there were a couple of actors missing from the Golden Globes red carpet, it's because Miuccia Prada had them walking in her latest show. Gary Oldman and Tim Roth were among the actors that modeled in Prada's Fall/Winter 2012 Mens show in Milan, Italy. Apparently there was no special reason to have the actors in the show, but the designer told WWD that “Clothing is also a tool of power and a way to express male vanity." Nothing wrong with that. Women do it everyday.

"Tchimm Rofff" - DivaJulia's FAVORITE.

Along with Oldman and Roth, Emile Hirsch, Willem Defoe, Adrien Brody, Jamie Bell, Alex and Victor Carril and a bouncy Garrett Hedlund showed off expertly tailored coats and suits, fitting right in with the real models.

I think Gary, Adrien and Willem had the best walks, and dare I say it, the most swag.

Tim Roth for Prada in 1996 - Still Bad Ass.

You might remember that Tim was featured in a couple of Prada ads back in 1996, you can catch Boardwalk Empire star Michael Pitt in them now.

Yes, indeed.

Happy Birthday, David Lynch!

Happy Birthday, you crazy-genius.

I'm not an expert on the works of David Lynch, but I've seen (read: endured, tortured myself, fell asleep during, was riveted by, had nightmares about, fell in love with certain characters, almost vomited during, and now have an un-natural fear of owls because of) many of his films, as well as the beloved TV show, Twin Peaks. (Oh, Audrey Horne, you minx.)

Sherilyn Fenn - "Audrey Horne" from "Twin Peaks"

David Lynch, the visionary director of Blue Velvet, Eraserhead, Wild at Heart, Mulholland Drive and my favorite film by Mr. Lynch, The Elephant Man is celebrating his 66th birthday today. (If you haven't seen this beautiful film, you must. You MUST.)

Thank goodness for the YouTube. I found a wonderful piece that masterfully encompasses all that IS David Lynch and his work and vision.

What is your favorite David Lynch piece of work? It was your least favorite? If nothing else, Mr. Lynch will get inside your psyche in a very visceral manner...whether it's with disgust or sheer beauty--or both.

Let's discuss, shall we?

p.s. I can do a spot-on imitation of the "baby" from Eraserhead. Ask Patrick. It totally freaks him right out...which means I'll do it just to torture him. Heh.

Glee Recap, ‘Yes/No’

Jagger Mash-Up

Glee is back, again, for now. It's taking another two week vacation, and leaves us hanging without the answer to a big question: yes or no?

So like almost every other episode, this one was about love and relationships. More like making right decisions when it comes to love. Sam is still sweet on Mercedes and decides to join the Synchronized Swim team to earn a Letterman's jacket.

Coach Beiste married Cooter over the holiday break, besting Sue but the two give Emma the idea to propose to Will instead of waiting for him to pop the question to her.

Becky has a crush on Artie, possibly her first, but Artie doesn't feel the same way about her. Ultimately Becky suffers her first heartbreak, but at least we got to hear her internal monologue, narrated by the fabulous Helen Mirren! It's cute to know that in her head she sounds like the Queen of England.

Will asks the kids for help picking a song to propose to Emma. Wilma is a totally annoying couple, but I guess they have to give them something to do. Her weirdo parents visit and remind them that their little Freaky Deaky comes with some serious issues. Because Will apparently has no other friends, he asks Finn to be his best man and help him pick out an engagement ring.

Finn reveals that he is considering joining the military after school, determined not to be the forgotten high school hero. Burt supports his decision, but tries to make him rethink it, while his mom tells him that his dad wasn't the war hero he thought he was. After everyone considers the future of their relationships, Sam gives Will the perfect idea for his proposal, literally take the plunge. Perhaps inspired by his favorite teacher, Finn signs up for his first credit card to buy Rachel a ring.

"Do NOT pee in my pool!" LOVE NeNe!

Nene Leakes, of Real Housewives of Atlanta fame, made her debut and was pretty damn funny. Excited to see her go at it with Sue. We'll have to wait to see whether Rachel says yes or no, I guess this is the way that Troll Murphy is going to get Cory and Lea to stay on the show.

I'm glad that Mercedes and Tina got to do more than just be in the background this episode, and I didn't miss one bit of Quinn. I like how Sugar Motta has sort of eased into the group, but can we give the Irish kid more to do please?

"Those summer...niiiii-hiiiiiiights!"

"Summer Nights" sung by Sam and Mercedes with New Directions. I feel like they should have done this one two seasons ago, surprised there hasn't been a whole Grease episode yet. I think they should just put Mercedes and Sam together already, if only for the outcry from butthurt fans. How great was Santana's Rizzo kick?! She is sex on a STICK!

"Wedding Bell Blues" sung by Emma. Joined by Bieste and Sue in bridesmaid dresses, Emma struts down the halls of McKinley begging Will to marry her. I imagine before they got engaged she did this often.

"Moves Like Jagger/Jumpin Jack Flash" sung by Artie, Will and the New Directions boys. A song about Mick Jagger mashed-up with a song by Jagger, well of course! This isn't one of the better mash-ups the show has done, but it kind of worked. I'm still baffled that the second best male dancer on the show is in a wheelchair, but somehow Kevin still works it. I also liked Mike's Conan O'Brien string dance.

"Without You" sung by Rachel. I still contend that there are too many current songs being used on the show, but this David Guetta and Usher song was put to good use. Rachel and Kurt are still trying to figure out their futures, and Rachel is worried she won't have one with Finn. I think somehow, they'll make it work. (DivaJulia muted this as soon as she found the remote buried in the couch, FYI.)

"First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" sung by Mercedes, Rachel, Tina, and Santana. Giving Will another idea for how to propose to Emma, the girls give an emotional performance while thinking about the first time they met their loves. Instead of thinking about Shane, Mercedes remembers the first time she met Sam. Worried, she tells the girls that she's scared about what to do. I'd like to see more of this, the girls all supporting and caring about each other and no more competition and jealousy please!

Those. Swimsuits. Available at Pin-Up Girl Clothing

"We Found Love" sung by New Directions. I had somehow avoided this Rihanna tune, but again it works here. The kids perform a synchronized number in the school's pool as Will walks on water in a white tux to ask Emma to marry him. One of probably the best performances on the show.

Both DivaJulia (who RARELY watches the show anymore) and I enjoyed this episode a lot!

Did you watch?

p.s. Sorry for the delay in the update--we've had some crappy technical problems that are being worked on!

President Barack Obama Singing Al Green ‘Let’s Stay Together” – SWOOOON

Sing it, Mister President...

Okay, here's the bad news, Dipped in Cream is having some major technical problems, but I'm gonna risk posting this any-gee-dee-way. Fingers crossed, and more money poured into this thing, we'll be back up like usual.

But here 's a little good news--for at least Brittani and me. Just LISTEN to this man sing. Who KNEW??

via ABCNews.com

"The Apollo event was Obama’s fourth campaign event of the night in New York City. It was hosted by Tony Award-winning composer and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda with performances by soul singer Green and vocal artist India.Arie. Tickets were $200 apiece for general admission."

Okay, in my dirty little mind, I had a feeling POTUS could bring it. So now, I want to hear him sing this to me, WHILE I smell his neck.

Shut up, all of you who think I'm being disrespectful or trivial about our President. He brought this hotness on himself. Let's see you sweat over GINGRICH, forpitysake. Those idiots tonight.

I'm gonna go hit the "replay" button on the video. See you tomorrow?

DIPPED IN CREAM IS BLACKED OUT TODAY TO PROTECT SOPA AND PIPA

via GOOGLE:

Millions of Americans oppose SOPA and PIPA because these bills would censor the Internet and slow economic growth in the U.S.

Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.

The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.

Lana Del Rey on SNL – Let’s Discuss That Situation, Shall We?

Lana Del Rey

Here's the thing. You either LOVE Lana Del Rey or you loathe Lana Del Rey.

After reading DListed Michael K.'s hilariously spot-on "review" of Lana's performance last night on SNL,I almost didn't write about her because he freaking nailed it. Lana looked (and sounded) PETRIFIED. Forpitysake, her album hasn't even dropped yet (like how I sound like the "kids" there?).

I felt like a a stage mom, holding my breath, just PRAYING she would suddenly break through the fear and bring it. But she kind of didn't. Be prepared to cringe a little...

via NBC.com

I know. I know. You don't have to tell me. But. I'm still on board with Lana, so don't even.

Take a listen to this and see what the wonders of production values can achieve.

Let's all just hang tight, and knock off the pointing and laughing. Lana may still prove herself to be able to sing live. She had better, or she's destined to have a career like Madonna or Jennifer Lopez or Britney Spears.

Wait. What?

Best Dressed At The 2012 Golden Globes and Full List of Winners, and UPDATE on the Bitch Fights (Elton John, Madonna and David Furnish)

Brittani skipped most of the Golden Globes this year, but we are going to do our level best together to recap the The Golden Globes ceremony from last night. We had fun on Twitter, that's for sure.

There were no big WTFs this year, unless you count Piper Perabo's big, grey ballgown, but there were a lot of bright colors and feathers. Also a big trend, crazy, skinny arms. (Madonna was a big winner, and something tells me she'll celebrate by bench pressing one of her children.)

Here are some of our favorite looks from the big event!

The Help star Jessica Chastain in white Givenchy

This might get her put on a couple of "Worst Dressed" lists, but I loved Sarah Michelle Gellar's watercolor Monique Lhuillier

Paula Patton also wore Monique Lhuiller. The bold yellow made her stand out.

One of our favorites, Sofia Vegara in Vera Wang

Charlize Theron in what else, Dior Couture

DivaJulia's girlcrush Mila Kunis was in Dior as well

Didn't seem to be a favorite either, but we really liked Evan Rachel Woods' feathery Gucci gown

The couple everyone was waiting to see, Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace, Brad, in a Tom Ford tux bought his cane again

One of the better looking guys of the night, Adam Levine in Tom Ford (and perhaps a pair of Tom Cruise's LIFTS!)

Viola Davis in a wine colored Emilio Pucci

Viola's The Help co-star, winner Octavia Spencer in lovely lilac

Jessica Alba in Gucci

We didn't catch him on the red carpet, but here is Idris Muthaeffin Elba ( a collective UNF!!) in the press room!

Tilda Swinton, stealing your soul and stuntin' on hoes

~~David Bowie~~ Tilda then rolled up her sleeves and performed at a party later last night. Snort.

So. Let's take a look at the winners of the evening, shall we?

CECILE B. DEMILLE AWARD: Morgan Freeman

We are hearing that Queens Madonna and Elton John had their usual bitchfight. On the NBC red carpet show, John was asked by Carson Daly whom he thought would take home Globes.

“Madonna hasn’t got a f*cking chance,” said John. “Those are fighting words,” replied Daly. “They’re accurate words,” Sir Sourpuss promptly responded.

Bitch, please.

Lots of cutting to Sir Sourpuss after his loss to Head Bitch in Charge, Madonna for Best Original Song. THEN, Sir SP's hubby David Furnish took to his Facebook (?) page like all 7th grade mean girls do to rag on Madge even further:

"Madonna. Best song???? Fuck off!!! Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in it's narcissism. And her critisism of Gaga shows how desperate she really is."

Daaag, y'all. (Although Madonna did refer to her winning song as "magical and miraculous". UGH.

Speaking of HBIC, who else noticed the Cheshire Cat Smile Madge threw when she announced the winner for Best Foreign Film -- and didn't have to announce Angelina Jolie's name?

Madonna, Smilin' Mean

Madge would rather hand an award to Iran than give a spit out Angie's name as a winner. Just sayin'.

Where were the cutting remarks and jokes we expected from Ricky Gervais? We don't count ragging on Kim K., Ricky! Too easy and too safe. Besides, we all know Kimmy was all, "ohmygod, you guyzzzzz...I was totally mentioned at the Golden Globes, you guyzzzzz."

Johnny Depp and Ricky laughing about "The Tourist"

Oh, and Johnny Depp appeared wasted and greasy. In other words, Johnny Depp was in attendance as well.

Did you watch?

Did you love or hate Angie's dress with the symbolic red slash across her neck? DivaJulia thought she looked tremendous. Don't hate on her!

Heather Locklear OD’s and Gene Hackman Hit By a Car – Yikes

Heather Locklear

Jeez. Heather Locklear is a bit of a hot mess and has been for awhile now. I feel badly for her. The 50-year-old former starlet has been hospitalized for what sounds like an overdose of Rx drugs and alcohol. Heather has struggled in the past with addictions of one sort of another. Sadly, her engagement to her long-time boyfriend, Jack Wagner was recently called off, and sources indicate that Heather isn't handling the situation well.

via TMZ.com:

"We're told Heather's family wants her to go to a medical facility this time around -- not a rehab center.

But so far ... Heather is resisting.

As we first reported, Heather's sister called 911 Thursday just after 2 PM PT and said she had taken a dangerous mixture of prescription drugs and alcohol. She was hospitalized in serious condition.

Heather is currently in the ICU of the hospital in stable condition -- and earlier today, she got a visit from her sister."

Good thoughts for Heather--it's never too late to get help.

"Miss Gene Hackman" - Kathy Griffin

Now on to Miss Gene Hackman (that's what Kathy Griffin called him once, and it's stuck in my head--sorry). Seems he was hit by a car while riding a bike in Florida.

via NewYorkDailyNews.com

The 81-year-old actor suffered non-life threatening injuries to his body and legs after a driver rammed him for “unknown reasons” around 3 p.m., Sgt. Tom Pikul of the Florida Highway Patrol told the Daily News.

“He’s fine, everything is okay. It was just minor bumps and bruises. He’s already on his way home,” Hackman’s publicist Susan Madore told The News. “I spoke to his wife. My understanding is that he was bumped from behind by someone in their car.”

Well, we hear-tell that this bad ass senior citizen is on his way home and will recover nicely. Good job, Sir!

Jimmy Fallon – Tebowie (Video)

Believe it or not, there was a time when Jimmy Fallon got on my last nerve. He was the one to always laugh during SNL skits, causing everyone else performing with him to do the same. (I know, that's such a minor complaint--but it doesn't take much to irritate me, right??)

Now that was funny... "This is Jesus Christ to Tim Tebow, please leave me alone ... I hear that you play New England next week. Dude you're on your own. Brady is too good and I've got better things to do."

Snort.
