More last minute Oscar parties commentary

Minnie Driver has looked better.

Where has Leelee Sobieski been? Hopefully not writing more horrendous poetry-

Gabriel Union is gorgeous. How is she still single?

We overlooked this lemon disaster- it's almost as bad as Elisabeth Shue's Casual Corner dress.

We don't know if this dress is much of an improvement.

Chloe Sevigny manages to look normal.

Posh to star in a reality TV show

Rumors are abuzz that Victoria Beckham, leaving Spago with fellow alien Katie Holmes, will helm a reality TV show about her move to LA. Apparently, she wants to give the world a chance to see her "comedic side." We are obviously there. The only reality TV show that we don't watch is The Hills.

Quote of the day

"[The Oscars] were sooo boring. I've never seen such a pile of rubbish." Sir Elton John tells it like it is.

Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel keep it real

Reynolds and Biel hit up one of our favorite West Hollywood burger joints, the low-key Astro Burger.

Mystery man solved

Drew Barrymore's Hawaiian lover is none other than indie director Spike Jonze it turns out. (Remember the pics of her frollicking in the water with some dude? He was the dude.) If you recall, Jonze is the ex of director Sophia Coppola. Here's the thrio arriving home at LAX.

Thanks to PopSugar for the photo.

Ahhhh, this explains everything

The doctors thought it was very bizarre that Jennifer Hudson, after looking flawless all awards season, chose to wear this terrible metallic bolero the biggest night of her career. Well, folks, it turns out she never wanted to wear it all. Jennifer told Matt Lauer that her only Oscar regret was her outfit, picked by her stylist, Vogue editor Andre Leon Tally. "Jennifer was kind of sponsored by Talley and Vogue," snitches a Page Six source. "Andre insisted she wear that hideous Oscar de la Renta dress with the awful, awful gold python bolero. Jennifer really didn't want to, and so [noted celebrity stylist] Jessica Paster got her a beautiful gold Roberto Cavalli custom-made. But when Andre found out, he went ballistic. Moments before she left for the show, there was a power struggle and Jennifer ended up putting his outfit on."

Sorry, sweetheart, we just don't believe you

Foxy Brown claims that she was a victim of police brutality during her arrest at a beauty store in Pembroke Pines, Florida. For those of you who have never been, Pembroke Pines is basically like the city from the movie The Truman Show, which makes these allegations almost hilarious. Crying wolf like this in a desperate attempt to save your reputation just hurts all the people this stuff really happens to. Anyway, Brown was arrested for her violent outburst at the beauty store, which included squirting hair glue, knocking over displays and spitting at the store owner. "The only crime I am guilty of committing is being a young black female celebrity in Broward County," said Brown. "I am the victim of an overzealous police department who engaged in police brutality and a money-hungry store owner whose motives are for me to pay his mortgage on his house and his children's tuition." Interestingly, though Brown went off on the police department and the store owner, she didn't deny the charges they filed against her.

Bobby Brown: in jail and too broke to get out

TMZ reports the following:

Bobby Brown is still sitting behind bars at Norfolk County House of Corrections in Massachusetts because, "He can't afford to pay his debt." In an exclusive conversation with Brown's attorney, Phaedra Parks, TMZ was told that the former New Edition member is scrambling to figure out a way to come up with the $19,100 he owes in back child support payments to Kim Ward, the mother of two of his children. "Mr. Brown is not financially able to make the payment to court," said Parks, adding that she is currently making her "best effort" to work out some sort of deal with the court.When asked about the fortune he amassed during his days as a world famous musician, Parks replied, "He was an 80s icon, that was 20 years ago."

Eddie Murphy storms out of the Oscars

Looks like someone is a bit of a sore loser. Though we really thought Eddie Murphy should have won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar, the man really should've handled himself with a bit more class after his loss. Rather than sticking around to see his co-stars perform (and win awards), Murphy bolted from the awards ceremony the second he lost. His publicist stated, however, that Murphy had always planned to leave early and that he did the same thing after winning at the Golden Globes.

Alien Spice

No offense, but Pink does not look like she's in touch with her feminine side

We love her anyways.

Sharon Stone likes to get her drink on

At Elton's John's annual party, a drunken Sharon goaded people into bidding more in an auction to support AIDS research. In contrast to Tom Cruise, Stone is an example of how craziness can be used for good causes.

Scarlett does a good deed

She spent 10 days in India working with Oxfam. Meanwhile Paris Hilton continues to spend more on celebrating her stupid birthdays this year than India's entire GDP (before the economic boom).

Jessica gives John Mayer a moment of breathing room

Given all of the hoopla surrounding Bald Britney, Jessica Simpson is becoming more appealing again.

Kirsten Dunst is so cool

By cool, we mean pale, strung out and annoying.

Jennifer Aniston may be dating a cameraman

She met him on the set of Courtney Cox's show Dirt. There is no way of knowing whether or not it's true because her publicist will deny anything that is ever reported on her.
