Blog traffic bait: Zoe Saldana

Unnecessary red carpet correspondent of the evening: Kathy Ireland
Kathy Ireland took some time out of her busy home furnishing design schedule to report from the red carpet for ABC – and we could’ve done without that. AP Photo/Chris Pizzello Does anyone remember that episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 when they were watching a B-movie starring Kathy and they were commenting on how...
Is the Oscars red carpet neccessary?
I am sitting here watching the red carpet for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards and there’s a lot of eye rolling coming from my end. As a “fashion writer” I should be excited by the red carpet, but for many fashion journalists (not broadcast personalities or style bloggers) that I have talked to, the red...
Would Sandra Bullock shop on Craigslist for an Oscar gown?
What is the best way for an aspiring fashion designer to get a big break? Well, for starters, you can post a Craigslist ad directed at a specific Oscar nominee to make their gown. In a ambitious (and kinda desperate) attempt to make it big, a guy named Michael is soliciting his design services to...
Oscar movie check-off list 02-09-10
Over the weekend I knocked out two more Oscar buzz movies off my list! The Tolstoyan drama The Last Station had me in its orbit as soon as I saw Helen Mirren. Actually, it had me as soon as she said the word “cock”. As for A Serious Man – it was so Coen brother-y;...

Didn’t hate it. Didn’t love it. But I was extremely hungry for baked goods after. Streep plays a baker and the pastries she made gave me the ultimate tummy erection. However – I did feel a bit awkward during that “disrobing” scene…and the scene where she was in the bathtub. But damn…those chocolate croissants made...

I’ve been slacking on my Oscar buzz movie list. Luckily, I dragged my happy meal ass to see Crazy Heart at the Embarcadero Cinema after work on Friday. I was kind of skeptical about seeing such a movie on a Friday night. According to socially correct standards, one is supposed to go party and get...

Oscar movie check-off list 01-09-10
The latest movie to get crossed off of my Oscar buzz list is Invictus starring Morgan Freeman as the selfless Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as the dreamy South African rugby captain, Francois Pienaar. Immediately after the movie I tweeted: @DinoRay Don’t tell anyone, but INVICTUS almost made me cry. I didn’t know I was...

The Oscars are on March 7 and being the obsessive compulsive person that I am , I must see all of the movies that are generating buzz. Luckily, Entertainment Weekly gave me a helpful guide (and just in case you’re wondering, my lost issue finally came in the mail) of the “25 movies I need...
