Katherine Almost Shows A Heigl At ShoWest Awards

Katherine Heigl & Billy Bush

We still don’t get why this comes so soon after the Oscars, but last night’s ShoWest Awards were redeemed by Katherine Heigl’s dress, which broke a during her Female Star Of The Year acceptance speech and almost revealed a prized part of her anatomy. Heigl impressively succeeded in catching the strap before we got a look at her star-shaped aureole pastie, proving just how badly she’s determined to keep nude screencaps of herself off the web. Despite how it looks in the above photo, Billy Bush did not just pull a Justin Timberlake on her.

Many a star was on hand for the annual movie expo, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Amanda Seyfried, Vanessa Hudgens, Robert Downey Jr., Jennifer Lopez and Zach Galifianakis. See all these celebs and more in our red carpet gallery below.

Marion Cotillard Jabbed With French Award Pin

Marion Cotillard & Frederic Mitterand

Marion Cotillard had an award-related mishap in Paris today, with French culture minister Frederic Mitterand accidentally stabbing her in the chest with the pin of her “Order Of Arts And Letters” medallion, which she was awarded alongside Alice In Wonderland director Tim Burton, who will also lead the jury at this year’s Cannes Film Festival (might be a good year to enter something spooky and/or based on a children’s story, directors. Just saying.).

See photos of Cotillard, Burton and Helena Bonham Carter—in her finest “crazy old British lady” wear, of course—in the gallery below.

Gwyneth Paltrow Glitters At World Sports Awards

Gwyneth Paltrow

Oh, come on! Another awards show for movie stars after the Oscars? You gotta be kidding! Well, not quite. Despite the attendance of stars like Gwyneth Paltrow, Clive Owen, Hugh Grant and Michelle Rodriguez—who had her trademark leather jacket on over her gown, you go Michelle—Abu Dhabi’s Laureus Awards celebrated the accomplishments of our world’s greatest athletes, including Tony Hawk, Monica Seles and Julius Irving. Who knew Kevin Spacey and Kyle MacLachlan had such love for the game? Or, for that matter, the United Arab Emirates?

Jeremy Renner, Carey Mulligan Get Flirty After Oscars

renner-200x As Renner advertises, “I’m single — and looking.”

Oscar nominee for An Education Carey Mulligan may be in a relationship with Shia LaBeouf, but Oscar-bash photos in a British publication make it clear that her options are open. Mulligan turned super-touchy when Jeremy Renner stopped to say hi at Vanity Fair’s Oscar afterparty, and witnesses say it’s clear there were sparks.

Zac Efron Dishes On His Dirty Hair Secrets

VH1 News correspondent Janell Snowden had the enviable job of talking to Zac Efron at the Oscars Red Carpet on Sunday and she brought up our favorite Efron-related topic: his thick tresses. (Sorry if you were expecting us to say High School Musical or Vanessa Hudgens.) In our mind, Zac, who presented the award for Best Sound Editing, is single-handedly responsible for an entire generation of tween boy hairstyles and he dished on his (literally) dirty secret about caring for it — he’s not a big fan of shampooing.

Nick Cannon And Janell Snowden Are In Love

VH1 TV Shows | Music Videos | Celebrity Photos | News & Gossip

We jest! Sort of. Sifting through our 2010 Oscars coverage, we came across this video clip of Janell Snowden, our friend from VH1 News, walking up to Mariah Carey and telling her straight up that she’s always had a thing for her hubby Nick Cannon. Mariah looks peeved at first, but then rolls with the joke. But what neither Mimi nor Janell know is that we’ve been waiting for just the right moment to unearth a clip of an on-camera flirtation between Nick and Janell that’s been buried deep within our archives.

Below is a mashup of Janell interviewing Nick at two different Sundance Film Festivals — before and after he was married. The clip involves hugs, pecks on the cheek, declarations of love, and talk about condoms and what could have been. Don’t worry Mariah, it’s clearly all in good fun! Maybe.

Jeff Bridges Still Holding His Oscar

Jeff Bridges

Considering it took thirty-eight years after his first nomination for Jeff Bridges to pick up an Oscar, we shouldn’t give the guy too much grief for not letting it go. The Crazy Heart star—who also won Coolest Best Actor Nominee by a landslide in our Oscar Poll Sunday—was spotted clutching his golden boy as he left Oprah’s post-Oscar show at the Kodak theatre yesterday. Maybe he should take a tip from Kate Winslet and wrap the guy up—you don’t want constant pawing to take the finish off.

10 Things You Didn’t Know About Last Night’s Oscar Winners

Jeff Bridges

What’s an award show without silly trivia the morning after? Here are some obscure tidbits about last night’s Oscar winners. And remember, everyone nominated is a winner.

Having finally snagged an Oscar after forty years in the industry, Jeff Bridges can now focus on getting a Grammy. The Crazy Heart crooner actually released a reggae-flavored album, Be Here Soon, in 2000. Click here to enjoy “Movin’”—”soon I’ll be touching you…touching the dream!”
The majority of Best Supporting Actor Christoph Waltz’s film career has been over in Germany, but fans hungry to see him sans subtitles can rent the 2000 straight-to-DVD flop, Ordinary Decent Criminal, an Irish crime drama starring Kevin Spacey and Colin Farrell. Waltz plays Dutch art dealer Peter: judging from this clip, we’re not surprised Oscar didn’t notice.
Sandra Bullock may have never been near an Oscar before, but she gave her first televised acceptance speech in 1995, when she won Best Female Performance, Most Desirable Female and Best On-Screen Duo with Keanu Reeves for Speed at the MTV Movie Awards. Those guys are always ahead of the curve!

See seven more, including clips of Jeremy Renner’s stoner comedy debut and Kathryn Bigelow as a sexy cowgirl, after the jump.

Sandra Bullock’s Weekend Of Bests And Worsts

17187089

Sandra Bullock went home last night with a Best Actress Oscar for her work in The Blind Side and seemed as shocked as anyone to have received it. Especially considering the fact that just a day earlier, she won a Worst Actress Razzie Award for for her role in All About Steve.

The Golden Raspberries, a.k.a. The Razzies are typically held the night before the Oscars, and celebrate the worst that cinema had to offer over the past year. After finding out she was nominated for her role as a woman stalking Bradley Cooper while also enduring the worst set of blonde highlights ever, she promised to show up to the awards show if she won and said ”I’m more comfortable with criticism than I am with goodwill, because I’m more familiar with it, and I’ve made friends with it. And the Razzies are a great honor.” She accepted her Worst Actress award just as charmingly and graciously as she accepted her Oscar, bringing DVD copies of All About Steve to the entire Razzie audience and telling them “You guys can just watch the movie and rethink your decision, and I’ll show up next year and we can go out for a drink afterward.”

After winning her Oscar, Bullock said she’s glad she to have won both awards in the same year. “It probably means more that both of them happened at the same time,” she said. “It’s the great equalizer. Nothing ever let’s me get too full of myself. It quickly chops me off at the knees, and I like it that way because it just keeps things stable. They’ll sit side by side in a nice little shelf somewhere, the Razzie maybe on a different shelf… lower!” It’s funny, no matter what award she wins, Bullock still manages to be Miss Congeniality.
