Contact Music noted that the first political commentator to weigh in on the debate over whether or not Angelina Jolie looked great in the dress or too skinny was none other that Fox News presenter Bill O’Reilly. Clearly an expert in fitness and fashion, he claimed to offer a “reality check” for the 36-yer-old star on his Monday night program ‘The O’Reilly Factor’. Jolie’s height and weight became an trending topic on Twitter the minute she and Brad hit the red carpet, with critics noticing she looked thin and fans noting she seems to have actually gone up a dress size. Then, Dr. Drew chimed in with his attack on the celeb. Keep reading…

The Oscars 2012: Famous celebrity couples, award show scandals, and OOPS
But the dynamic duos that are being talked about the most are actually sets of celebrity boobs. Jennifer Lopez, the actress and singer who is a judge on American Idol and mother of twins by Latin singer (and estranged husband Marc Anthony), had a wardrobe malfunction. And Oprah Winfrey and her “girls” bobbled out across the stage to make a special guest appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show after the Academy Awards. She’s gained back some wait, but lucky for her, it seems to have all gone to her chest. Her incredibly flattering gown set the standard for what an Oscar Nominee or Academy Award Winner should look like in a dress. Keep reading…
Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise skipped red carpet to party after award show
Has actor Tom Cruise become an idle idol? The Tom-Kat publicity machine cruised the celebrity couple straight through the Academy Awards 2012 festivities and rituals, barely on idle. Pop Sugar shared, “Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes stopped for photos on their way inside Vanity Fair’s Oscars bash in LA tonight… Tom skipped the red carpet at tonight’s show, where he presented best picture to The Artist. He attended solo, though it looks like Katie decided to join him in celebrating Hollywood’s biggest evening.” The party is one of Hollywood’s most famous Oscar parties. It is also one of the most glamorous. Keep reading…
Anne Hathaway Scandal: New Catwoman engaged a true rumor?
Actress Anne Hathaway is engaged! While she did get panned for her Oscar host appearance in 2011 with actor James Franco (and subsequently lost a re-up to comedian Eddie Murphy — who then quit and is being replaced by funny actor Billy Crystal to host in 2012 [at the Kodak Theater in Highland on Sunday February 26th]), she got big kudos for her performance in The Devil Wears Prada with Meryl Streep. She’s also well remembered for her work with Julie Andrews in the Princess Diaries. The actress has been busy the past year filming the new Batman movie Dark Knight Rises with actor Christian Bale. She’s playing Catwoman. Keep reading…
Billy Crystal replacing funny Eddie Murphy as Oscar Host (snore)
Green celebrity Billy Crystal has just confirmed via Twitter that he will be replacing funny Eddie Murphy as the next Oscars host. The actor has already hosted the famous awards show 9 times, so producers know they can count on him to do a good job hosting. Sort of. Funny celeb Murphy was scheduled to replace Anne Hathaway and James Franco, the pair that resoundingly flopped hosting last year’s event. While Hollywood social circles are small, the choice to rehire Crystal (considering his relative obscurity in recent years) surprises and somewhat bores most. Why isn’t he the best choice as the next Oscars host? Keep reading…
Green Celebrity Death: Who was Tim Hetherington, the dead Oscar nominee?
Green Celebrity Death!
Who was Tim Hetherington, the Oscar nominee killed in Lybia in 2011?
[Apr. 24]
Tim Hetherington was born in Liverpool, UK, on December 5, 1970. He originally studied literature at Oxford University, but he went back to school to get a degree in photojournalism. He had been living in New York, and had been sharing his time there with time in London. He maintained dual citizenship. He contributed regularly to Vanity Fair magazine, for which much of his photojournalism work in Afghanistan was done.
Over the course of his career, Tim Hetherington, a green celebrity player behind the camera, became active in humanitarian circles, using his skills with still frame photography and video camera equipment to capture the social and political impact that war had on regions abroad, including Afghanistan, Liberia, and most recently in Libya, where he was killed by shrapnel from a rocket-propelled grenade, fired by Qaddafi forces.
Tim Hetherington was best known for his work on Restrepo (2010), a documentary film covering a year with a platoon in one of the most dangerous areas in Afghanistan. Hetherington was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary this past January, but lost to Exit Through the Gift Shop with the notoriously world-renowned street artist, Banksy.
However, Tim Hetherington was the recipient of many awards, according to his website, prior to the hit Restrepo. He was a cameraman for Liberia: An Uncivil War (2004) and for The Devil Came on Horseback (2007). He also wrote two books — Long Story Bit by Bit: Liberia Retold, capturing the history of present-day Liberia, and Infidel (2010) about the soldiers in Aghanistan, studying the effects on conflict on the young men at the front. His most recent project, a short film called Diary he called highly experimental and it currently is being shown at multiple film festivals.
While this green celebrity author, photojournalist, and filmmaker was not beholden to one side or the other, he did work hard as a humanitarian to expose the effects of war and conflict on societies and individuals alike, and he has received numerous awards for his efforts. He had a Fellowship from the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts from 2000 to 2004. He received a grant from the Hasselblad Foundation for photography in 2002. He received four awards from World Press Photo, which aims to promote excellence in photojournalism. Ultimately he won Photo of the Year from World Press Photo in 2007. From the Rory Peck Trust, named after an Irish freelance cameraman killed in Russia while covering the constitutional crisis there, Tim Hetherington won the Rory Peck Features (rather than shorts) award in 2008. And he won an Alfred I. Dupont award, recognizing excellence in broadcast journalism, in 2009.
