Today’s Blind Item – “All of Them!” Edition

"Which skinny star refused to touch her meal during the Oscars ceremony, insisting, conveniently, she'd "already eaten"? Discreet waiters quietly carried her left-over grub away."

Jaaayzus. James Cameron's wife, Suzy Amis (someone said she looked like Clint Eastwood - pretty GD funny), Victoria Beckham, Madonna, Hilary Swank, Carey Mulligan...good LAWD, the list is never-ending. I saw ALL of them. It's the biggest Blind Item cliche` answer, but come ON.

Okay, except for all the gals from "Precious" - and I mean that it a GOOD way. I'd sit at their table and have some fun.

Oscar Best and Worst Dressed – Wrap-Up

Penelope Cruz in Donna Karan - LOVE it

Demi Moore looks good. Dress by "Mystic Tan" apparently.

Mimoo. Oh Lawd. A padded sweetheart neckline? Whyyyeeeee?

Sarah Jessica Parker in Couture Chanel - The Fancy Equine Stable Collection

Charlize Theron - gown by FTD Florists, obvs.

Kristin Stewart in Pouty Black

Stand up straight, Miley! Great from the corset on down. Dress by Butterface.

Sandra Bullock. Flawless.

Cameron Diaz - Looking GORGEOUS, for once.

The always perfect Helen Mirren

Mo'nique, bitches.

JLo promoting her film "The Back *That Ass* Up Plan". BOOM, y'all.

and for mah gurrls (aka My Gays):

Tom Ford as Tom Ford. Nice lifts and smirk, you hot piece. Gaaaah.

So many of last night's gowns were similar. The pale, nude tone seemed to be The Color, along with shades of blue (for "Precious", specifically.) I wasn't blown away by any of them, really, but I do feel Sandra Bullock looked flawless and luminous in her Marchesa gown. I loved her red lipstick and long, side-parted hair, too. Gorgeous.

The only dude worth mentioning is the always-pretentious hot piece of ass, Tom Ford. Impeccably dressed, right down to his hidden-heel shoe lifts. Hey, I'm just tellin' ya what I heard.

I had better hear from y'all about your favorites and/or gag-inducing Oscar moments!

Mo'Nique gave a lovely speech...and a badass speech, at that.

Get it, Girl.

"I would like to thank the academy for showing that it can be about the performance and not the politics," said Mo'Nique, who plays the heartless, abusive welfare mother of an illiterate teen in "Precious".

Word. I believe Mo'Nique was referring to the fact that she was widely criticized for not participating in the press junkets for "Precious". So WHAT. She has twin boys and a TV show. She said in an interview, "I played an a terrible mother in a movie, and I'm not one in real life"...or something like that, and I respect her for that. I hope everyone is watching Mo' discuss her childhood sexual abuse on The Barbara Walters Oscar Special. She says about her abuse, "Let it go, Mama. It ain't that heavy."

Wow. I wish I had her number.

It was a fun night here...Live Tweeting, Patrick was here with Stephen and me and the dogs.

2010 Oscar Nominations – No Surprises WhatsoEVER.

2010 Oscar Nominations..SNORE.

Honk Shoooooo. I know I'm supposed to be excited about all this, but I'm over it. (Until the night OF the show, then get outta my way.) All I know is I'm thrilled for QT (Quentin Tarantino for those of you who DON'T have him over for dinner each and every Thursday night..SNORT!) has 8, count 'em, 8 nominations for Inglourious Basterds.

That Blue Man Group/Smurf movie and the Hurt's Don't It?? movie both have 9 nominations. Speaking of which, what are the gotdamn odds that James Cameron is up against his ex-wife, Kathryn Bigelow for Best Director AND Best Picture for those two films?? Cuh-raaaazy. I'd be so pissed off if I were Kathryn. James Cameron looks like a NUT (is a prolific adulterer, FYI) and his movie is totally tryna be all serious, when Kathryn's is actually about real live drama. Whatev.

SO....here are the major award nominations, y'all.
