  • Will Black be the New Black, Even at the Oscars?

    I know this year's Fashion Week had a lot of the typical recession-era blacks and grays, wools and cozy cover-me-in-comfort sorts of materials for the fall collections, but I can't help but thinking...there's no way it's going to go in that direction tonight, right?

    After all, Heidi Klum has already unveiled her Red Dress #2, which she'll be wearing for the Diet Coke Heart Truth campaign, to raise awareness for heart disease in women and generate funds for future research (which I totally support, Heids). No black there, except maybe in her fake eyelashes.

    However, we all saw Renee Zellwegger at the Golden Globes. She may as well have been wheeled in in her coffin, as it clearly appeared as if she were one foot in the grave in that ghastly getup. Did someone give her the heads up before the fall collections set off down the runways? Should we have applauded her depressing style of dress rather than poking fun? No, because clearly, if you look at Kate Winslet's choice of dress that night (also black, but infinitely cuter), black is back, baby, and in a big way.

    That being said, I happened to love the oyster color that 95% of the other babes donned on the red carpet that night. I didn't find it unflattering on Beyonce, Eva Mendez, Demi Moore or even Isla Fisher, who's so pale to begin with you'd have thunk oyster against alabaster would have been one white nightmare straight out of Bridezillas. So if oyster can be flattering, black is a girl's best friend -- forget the diamonds, Bernie Madeoff took all my money anyways.

    It's always too early at the Oscars for spring pastels; Cameron Diaz looked like a tall bottle of Pepto at the Globes. No white until Memorial Day (yes, I totally abide by this rule, without fail) and that pretty much leaves us with...ummm...navy, gray, eggplant, olive and...yup, you guessed it, BLACK.

    I'm going to go out on a limb here, and I'm going to make some predictions.

    Kate: Navy, if she's smart
    Angelina: Eggplant, she hasn't done that lately
    Anne: Black, always trying to look more slim
    Meryl: Grey-ish silver, a la Glenn Close (sorry, but I'm betting on this)
    Amy: Olive, if she can manage to break away from the brighter of the greens
    Penelope: Winter white, because she can
    Marisa: Anything, as long as it's hideous

    And everyone else just doesn't matter, frankly. Well, OK. I would love to see Scarlett cover her boobs just a little bit more than usual, as I happen to find her little friends in poor taste most of the time. Maybe that's just because I could use my own set of chicken cutlets on any given day. Make that a double. But she'll probably go with some eye-popping color as a trade-off, so screw that.

    At least I know what color all the men will be wearing. Oh, except for Mickey. He may just show up in his own aubergine getup. (Still sorry about your dog, man...I know, I'm evil. But I really am sorry.)

  • Not Eating is So Over-Rated

    I know that many skeptics will never believe that famous award-winning actresses actually eat during the time between the Golden Globes and the Oscars, but believe you me, it's true. They eat, they drink, they even do it in public (and only the waiter knows what's really going on). Don't believe me? I'll show you...

    Jennifer Hudson, lauded and applauded for her voluptuous curves along with her fantastic voice, is actually reported to eat smoked salmon and veggies when preparing for a film role or awards ceremony. That may be all she eats, but so be it. Gotta love those omega-3s.

    In the past, another sultry songstress, Beyonce, has been known to guzzle lemonade to slim down. Lemonade? Doesn't that have sugar in it? Oh, right. Not when it's the cayenne pepper and black-strap molasses MASTER CLEANSE lemonade. Ew. But at least she's ingesting something other than Benefiber and Emergen-C.

    Reese Witherspoon is rumored to eat six small meals a day, also including fish and vegetables. I'm not saying it's anything more than three bites of halibut and a piece of lettuce, but hey. She can't possibly be so perky all the time, right?

    Katherine Heigl even manages to sneak in a few bites of salad between long, overdramatic drags on her cigarettes. Josh looooves seeing the sexy red lipstick-stained butts on the patio in the morning. So endearing.

    And there's always Starbucks. The list of celebs sucking down triple grande nonfat wet cappuccinos allegedly includes Nicole Kidman, Renee Zellwegger, Katie Holmes and Ben Affleck. Caffeine counts as food, right? But don't you DARE ask me if I'd like a croissant to go with that or I SWEAR I'll pour my coffee down the front of your pants. Take that, Barrista Barbie.

    I don't believe that Eva Longoria has eaten a brownie in the last three months or that Catherine Zeta-Jones has even looked at a piece of brown bread. We can't all afford such luxuries, after all. But clearly, some of them do eat. A few bites. Just enough to fuel eight hours with Gunnar, David and Tracy, followed by a massage, sauna and mani/pedi. (Either that or, as Penelope Cruz is known to do, just sleep a lot. It's clinically proven that dreaming about yellow cake with chocolate icing is completely calorie free.)
