Dennis Hopper's wife has had a lot of work done. Either that, or she is an alien.

It's hard to believe sometimes and yet not that I made out with Sean Penn one night when he was breaking up with Badonna. He is the same sign as Robert Deniro. Did I say that before? Does this mean I have Alzheimers? Hm. Maybe it means I am just boring and need to dust bust the furniture more. I'll get busy on it in the morning. Ha ha. He loves his friends and respects them, and his normal way is star quality. Natalie looks like my would be daughter. I hear Jeff Bridges wants Kate B. in a movie as his costar someday. Maybe ARIANNA CAN HELP ME WITH HER CONNECTIONS? (You look cute lately dear.)

These people are so fake. I used to admire Natalie Portman, but now she looks like all the rest. Why do they hold these huge extravaganzas just to reward themselves?

It's actually in their contracts that they have to promote the movies the studios have spent millions on.

Sorry Ms. Portman smiles and seems to try to make the best of it.

"I am big Sean fan. She looks so beautiful. She deserves it. "
lol
come on Huffpo, block that spambot! Even if it does make boo-boos like these.

Julianne Moore's dress would have been much prettier without the black accent collar. What is that: faux marabou? Blecch.
