Golden Globes and moments that stand out:

-George Clooney’s utterly unreserved, ostensibly un-British, extraneous-yet-complimentary, Clooney-gone-gaga-head-over-heels tribute to his wife whilst accepting his Cecile B. DeMille award. No one has ever publically seen this side of George before. One cannot help but ponder the trail of broken hearts that led him to this happy place in his 53 years. What was Stacey Keibler up to at this moment he gave his speech? She is much much too busy as a working mother caring for Ava Grace with her millionaire (sorry not a billionaire) husband Jared Pobre, to even notice! Stacey’s Baby Bullit food processor was on so loud pureeing Ava’s organic Kale and rutabaga that it never registered. She has moved on in a BIG way.

What about forlorn Sarah Larsen, serving up drinks in Vegas to a group of insensitive and rowdy frat guys as they watched ESPN, none of them  having a clue that the Globes were on (to her relief), and Sarah was probably left wondering why SHE was just arm candy to George and nothing more. With some careful research, it appears Sarah now runs a medical spa in NYC. Hopefully on the day of the Globes, she was not barraged by well preserved socialites extoling the virtues of Amal’s flawless skin, elegant opera gloves, and “can you do my eyebrows like George Clooney’s gorgeous wife?"

Celine Baltraine can’t be bothered with this drivel, she lives in France, and she grew up with a prime minister whose mistress and son showed up at his funeral.. c’est la vie.
Finally, the only woman who could formerly call herself Mrs. Clooney, ex wife Talia Balsam, seriously could care less while she and Mad Men hottie john Slattery analyze and review the Globes as professionals in their line of work undoubtedly do. Clooney is a side note to them.

 -Michael Keaton’s heart felt speech that included his abiding love for his son. Very sweet and touching but impossible to fully take in or appreciate as he is forever seared in our minds as the crazy neighbor in Pacific Heights.
And to think he dumped Courtney Cox, who is now happily engaged to 38 year old  rocker Johnny McDaid ..

(so nice to see Melanie Griffith pre-plastic surgery gone wild)

-Jeremy Renner’s forward and lascivious comments to Jlo. He is a new dad, brand new divorcee and and its his first night out in many months, so we will let it slide.

--Zosia Mamet, actress from Girls appeared at the Globes with grey/silver hair. 


It’s now impossible to do something on the red carpet that is new, shocking, original, or that has never been done before. A young woman with grey hair? Wow, that is new and original. But wait a minute there, what is this 20 something doing in MY territory? The “proud to be grey and natural” demographic, such as models one would see in a  J Jill, Coldwater Creek, or Travelsmith catalog, is not amused. This quintessential greying goddess cohort,  is not to be mimicked by some young whippersnapper without the battle scars, without the journey under her belt, nor the wisdom.. Maybe she is blatantly trying to appeal to advertisers in an attempt to get an endorsement deal with Jill Sander...much like Kate Hudson had with Ann Taylor.. or 90’s supermodel Helena Christensen has with NYDJ (Not Your Daughter’s Jeans re-branded as NYDJ( much like acronym KFC)). We shall see where this stylistic adventure lands her.

- Finally....Billy Bob Thornton, a Golden Globes winner, he left the vial of blood at home this time!
