Gossip Girl cast at the Met last night...and some other people too

Last night , the world's most fabulous people wearing the world's most fabulous designers, came together for the world's most fabulous party. The Met's Art Costume Institute annual gala celebrated superheroes, and the stars, models and fashion people came out in full attire.
But I was mostly interested in the Gossip Girl cast. What did they wear? Did they even talk to each other? Word has it that new castmember Michelle Trachtenberg (who plays evil Georgina) avoided the rest of the cast while on the red carpet. Also, Blake Lively and Penn Badgley are so dating in real life!

Blake Lively looking very delicious.

They were together the whole night including the afterparty.


Why were you ignoring your other Gossip Girl peeps M? Perhaps you are frenemies in real life...send me the deets. XOXO

Amber Valetta...wears poofs instead of superhero wings but it still works.

Andre Leon Talley and Venus Williams...share a cape and look fabulous.


Karl Lagerfeld...is the Silver Surfer.

Maggie Gyllenhaal...is a superhero from Jane Austin's time.

Kate Moss....thinks wearing a sparkly dress counts as being in the superhero theme.

The Fabulous Foursome...except I don't who the guy on the far left is. But Marc, Sofia and Helena look amazing.

Victoria Beckham...reminds me of Cruella DaVille.

Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen....why didn't Hayden pull out his old Darth Vader suit? He could have covered his awful 'fro with the helmet.

Tilda Swinton...well I like her green shoes.

Zac Posen is my hero.

The Hills recap

This episode is about people taking space. Heidi is giving herself more space away from Spencer by going to Vegas and the distance between Audrina and her "roomates" Lauren and Lo grows into a wide abyss. Let's see how this happens...

- Heidi tells Brent (her "boss") that she wants to commit herself fully to Bolthouse even if that means relocating. Of course Brent has something up his sleeves and says they are expanding club Hyde to Vegas. Vegas! That's perfect for Heidi! Who knows what shenanigans she can get up to there. Best moment ever: Brent's quizzical expression after Heidi says she is
up to the challenge."

- Lauren and Lo talk about how they never see Audrina. That's because you banished her to the slave quarters and always talk about her behind her back. Bitches.

- Stephanie tells Heidi that her and Spencer "are perfect for each other." Wait, what? Hasn't Stephanie witnessed first hand at what a douchebag Spencer is? What a memory this girl has.

- I sense that Audrina is going to move out. Oh the dramz! The fact that she was not named a "mommy" to the surprise puppy is the last straw.

- Despite the highschool antics of Lauren and Lo, Audrina invites them to check out a band with her. The girls, after much pondering (shopping or hanging out with our friend?) go to the studio to check out the band...and leave promptly after about 10 seconds. You can tell Audrina is miffed.

- Best scene ever! Stephanie tells Spencer to get his lazy ass out of her apartment for good. Spencer naturally acts like the douchebag he is by putting his fingers in his ears and saying "la la la la." Jesus.

- Lauren and Lo discuss how distant Audrina seems. Maybe it's because the two of you are acting like teenagers by pointedly ignoring her and being rude.

- Heidi is on the SBE private jet *snicker* and reveals that she is more commited to the company because she doesn't have a boyfriend anymore. Sam, the owner of SBE, hits on her.

- Audrina and Justin Bobby get together and Justin actually listens and gives good advice. He tells her she should move out of her slave quarters and get her own apartment. Do it Audrina! You don't need those bitches!

- Spencer comes crawling back to his old house with Heidi (hey, homeless scenes in The Hills just wouldn't do) and discovers that she is not there. Da da DAAAAA

First look at Scarlett's ring

Ryan Reynolds (that funny guy who was engaged to Alanis Morisette) and Scarlett Johansson are engaged. It appears that Scarlett celebrated by dumping a carton full of body glitter on her (Look at the closeup of her hand.)

These two couples get a section of their own

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. I love her dress and the blue shoes peeping out.

Holy hair! Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

The Met! Superheroes arrive!

Photos are rolling in of the first arrivals to the Met's Costume Institute gala and the theme of the night is superheroes! Holy crap I didn't know Anna Wintour would take it so literally! She looks like she just arrived from space.

My apologies for the watermarks but apparently my subscription to these photo feeds does not include these photos. Arg.

Enjoy!

Anna Wintour...from planet Xenu! It looks like she is wearing clams on her hands. I sense a bit of Princess Leia in her...only the buns are on her thighs.


Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady...looking very sexy and rich.

Bee Schaffer...is purple.

Claire Danes...is kind of boring.

Emily Mortimer...is in Greece?


George Clooney and Sarah Larson...look like they want to get back on that motorcycle and jet to Vegas.

Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger...WTF, are they dating?

Kate Mara...is a yellow bird of some sort.

Jennifer Lopez....looks tired like she was up all night breastfeeding her...oh wait, the nanny does that.

Michelle Trachtenberg...is riding the Gossip Girl wave.

Naomi Watts...is Superwoman!

Mischa Barton...sweet Jesus I don't know what I'm looking at.

Julia Roberts and Giorgio Armani...."Crap I thought this was the Oscars....just keep smiling Julia, that's it...."

Liv Tyler...looks elfin...yeah, I don't have anything better than a Lord of the Rings reference.

Camilla Belle...no one knows who she is except Anna Wintour.

Wendi Dang...Blogger needs smiley faces because I need to put a "WTF was she thinking?" smiling face here. Rupert Murdoch married a wench from the 1700s.



Thandie Newton...is that a cape?

Karolina Kurkova...is slithery.

Jessica Stam...I liked last year's dress way better.

Christina Ricci...cut a star from red cardboard and glued it on the back of this pink monstrosity. She thought: "Superheoroes! Yay! Fun! Stars!"

The best party in the world is happening right now

No, nor your The Hills party with your girlfriends, I'm talking about the Met's Costume Institute gala, where everyone in the fashion biz, and the celebrities who wear them, will congregate tonight to celebrate fashion and superheroes.
Ok on to who is wearing what: Anna Winour will be wearing a custom-made black and white embroidered Chanel haute-couture gown made especially for her by Karl Lagerfeld, Kate Bosworth and Audrey Tautou will also be wearing the brand (especially since Tatou has replaced Nicole Kidman as the face of Chanel No. 5), Eva Longoria and Dita Von Teese are wearing Marchesa, Gossip Girl's Chase Crawford, Blake Lively and Ed Westwick will be there (Crawford will be wearing Calvin Klein). Lily Donaldson will be accompanied by Christopher Bailey (so I guess that means that Aggy won't give an impromptu singing performance), Gisele and Tom Brady will give us some serious aye candy as will Kimora Lee Simmons and Djimon Hounsou.

I cannot wait until the photos start rolling in!

Meet the band: Trannylicious

It's like they took the leftovers from the Pussycat Dolls' closet, cut them up and pasted them together in pieces they thought were cool. You know like kindergartners do with paper dolls during arts and crafts. The girl second from left looks as if her cat vomited on her head. Very trannyriffic. (Photo: WireImage)

Wow. That is way too much text for my brain to handle. And I thought giganticous hoop earrings went out five years ago? Yawn.

3. YOUR BODY: HOW TO GET THAT FAT ASS INTO SHAPE BY GETTING PLASTIC SURGERY. IT'S OK, MOMMY AND DADDY WILL PAY FOR IT!!!

4. MEN WHO CHEAT- IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT AND TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE IT WORK. HINT: TRY THREESOMES!!!

5. BEAUTY, GREAT GAMS, FLAT TUMMIES- UNREALISTIC BODY PARTS YOU WILL NEVER HAVE BUT IF YOU BUY THIS MAGAZINE WE WILL FEED THOSE UNHEALTHY DREAMS!!!

Aggy sings!

She looks so adorable but is that really her singing? I sense some fiddling around with the computerized vocals.

Disney, shut your trap about Miley you big hypocrites

I don't understand why Disney is making a big fuss about the Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair photographs, when all this attention on their big star will only generate more profits for them. People who had no idea who Miley was before this "scandal" certainly know her now and Disney can only benefit from this free publicity. But they are hypocrites. Gawker discovered an old Disney advertisement of a pre-pubescent girl wearing underwear for their kiddie lingerie line. I think it's even worse than those Calvin Klein childrens' underwear ads.
Maybe Disney is just jealous that Vanity Fair will be making lots of money in magazine sales and they can't directly profit from the photos? But the exposure of their billion-dollar baby will certainly benefit Disney in the long run as new people will check out the Hannah Montana franchise. So it's ok for Disney to directly profit from their own ad featuring a girl that looks even younger than Miley Cyrus, but it's not ok if the 15-year-old poses for another publication and they see the profit from that.
It seems that Disney doesn't really care about the ethics involving young girls and nudity, but about whether they can make money from it.
