Not Safe For Work

Justin Timberlake visited the hallowed halls of Harvard Friday to humbly accept the Hasty Pudding Club’s 2010 Man Of The Year award in the gracious, dignified manner one associates with this institution of knowledge (Anne Hathaway won Woman Of The Year last month). “This is cooler than any Grammy or Emmy or anything I could have ever thought of,” he said at the event. “Thank you.” Among the accomplishments celebrated at the event was his status as a “triple threat”: “he sings, he dances, he goes straight to DVD.” And thanks to SNL, he wasn’t bothered by the boxing of his nipples. “Funny enough, every time I’ve hosted SNL I’ve ended up in drag at least once,” he said. “I love stuff like this.” Girlfriend Jessica Biel was reportedly on hand to enjoy him being the subject of public humiliation for a change. Watch JT make merry in the gallery below.

We’re not huge Tim Burton fans, but these new pictures from his upcoming adaptation of Alice In Wonderland have us lusting for more of the weird world he’s created for the film. Pictured above are Johnny Depp (playing a Madonna-esque Mad Hater) and Anne Hathaway, who looks surprisingly striking as The White Queen. You can peep more pics here.

What do you think of these shots - are they creeping you out or leaving you wanting more weirdness?  [Photos: HuffingtonPost]

The Costume Institute gala, held annually at the Met museum in NYC, is considered to be one of the most glamorous events in the world, but that doesn’t mean the celebrities who attend are immune to fashion missteps — or even fashion catastrophes. This year’s theme (”The Model as Muse”) was responsible for more than one “high-concept” outfit that we fail to understand.

Model Shalom Harlow’s poofy black creation, for example, might be a brilliant piece of avant-garde design to some. But we’re just laypeople here at theFABlife, and when we look at her gown we see nothing but the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters.

Similarly, fashion insiders might look at Leighton Meester in Louis Vuitton and see an abstract-psychedelic masterpiece. But the getup just gives us a headache. Then there’s Madonna (fashion offenses listed here), Rihanna (we have no words) and Kirsten Dunst (we want to like this country-inspired dress, but flatter it does not). See pictures below of 2009 gala’s worst outfits.

Valentino: The Last Emperor may wind up little more than a vanity film for the legendary designer, but Valentino was still able to pull a platoon of models and actresses to its premiere party at the MoMA last night. The 76-year-old fashion veteran, whose work has been worn by everyone from Jackie Onassis to Eva Mendes, sat between Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna and Anne Hathaway at the fete—proudly highlighting his “Valentino Red” visage by sitting next to such pale partygoers. Check out the gallery below to see who else made the scene.

The only predictions Scandalist got wrong for this year’s Oscars (we didn’t pretend to know about crap like Best Documentary - Short Subject) were Best Actor and Best Actress. Plenty of people thought Mickey Rourke would beat Sean Penn, but why did we think Anne Hathaway would beat Kate Winslet? Because we didn’t think Kate was old enough to get the “throw her a golden boy while we still can” award. Sure, it took four lead actress nominations over an entire decade before Kate finally took home a trophy, but Al Pacino had to wait through twenty years of ceremonies until his sixth lead nomination to win for Scent Of A Woman. Like Al, maybe Kate can focus on crappy detective movies for the rest of her life.

Here are some other details about last night’s winners, losers and presenters you might not have known.

• While Meryl Streep has two Oscars to her name, she must be getting a little frustrated with the ceremony all the same. She last won for 1983’s Sophie’s Choice, and she’s been nominated a whopping eleven times since. We’re sure she’s gracious to all these young ladies bawling over their first Oscar, but that’s twenty five years of “thank you”’s she’s had to toss.
• Anthony Hopkins mentioned working with Brad Pitt on Legends Of The Fall during the Best Lead Actor presentation (though he didn’t say the movie’s name), but when Robert DeNiro paid tribute to Sean Penn, he failed to bring up 1989’s We’re No Angels, the flop comedy that first brought the pair together. Future Academy Award nominee John C. Reilly also appeared in the film, playing a “Young Monk.”

Last night’s Academy Awards were apparently a hit - as 6% more people tuned in this year (as opposed to last) to be called “commie, homo-loving sons of guns” by Sean Penn. Trust us, it was worth it!

There were other highlights besides Penn’s gracious acceptance speech, including the “Jai Ho” musical number, Jennifer Aniston’s awkward presenting work, and Ben Stiller mocking Joaquin Phoenix. Check out our massive gallery of the show’s best moments below.

Some lucky Oscar winner could not just go home with a prized statuette, but with an extra million bucks! The makers of Airborne have offered to give 1 million dollars to charity if any of the major winners lugs the product onstage during their acceptance speech.

The offer has been extended to all those in the Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actor and Actress category.

Airborne co-founder Robert McDowell said of the big bucks proposal, “It just seemed to me, in this economy, charities are really struggling. It seemed like a good time to reward some charities, and, if it goes through, we’ll be thrilled to provide the funds to the charity.”

Who will bite at Airborne’s million dollar product placement offer? If Brad and Angelina sign up and get the dough, some very lucky orphans might be getting a new school. But if Best Actor nominee Mickey Rourke is the big winner, surely the The Wrestler star will ease the pain of losing “the love of his life” by purchasing a fantastic Chihuahua farm!

You’d think that the kajillion award ceremonies preceding the Oscars would make it easy to predict who will win, but there have been countless times when the Academy went against the tide. Remember when Crash beat Brokeback Mountain? Or Shakespeare In Love beating Saving Private Ryan? The Oscars are pretty unpredictable compared to the Grammys, but here’s who we think will take home a golden boy on February 22nd.

Kate Winslet beat out Anne Hathaway for the SAG Awards‘ Best Actress nod, and she also edged out the young actress for Best Dressed (in our not so humble opinion) as well. But Anne, in a gorgeous, mod, white dress, was a close second. So who cares about going home with a statue when you can go down in history as a style icon? Wipe those tears away Annie - at least you looked hotter than Eva Longoria.
