Pop Guru's Annual Oscar Fashion Review!

Well, the beauty of borrowing internet is that it's unpredictable - I couldn't post my fashion review last night because my internet was out.  Guess I should pay for it!  What a fab show on Sunday!  Hugh Jackman, in all his girlish glory, actually did a pretty good job as the host.  I really liked the musical numbers, and what would any award show be without Beyonce forcibly thrusting herself into the spotlight.  The Oscars have nothing to do with you, you egotistical maniac!   You and Mama Tina need to realize the Dreamgirls moment has passed and finally accept the fact that Jennifer Hudson aka "American Idol" has an Oscar and you never will!  Beyonce is one unnecessary parade away from being Tyra Banks.

Although the show was ridiculously long, I loved the way past Oscar winners came out to introduce each nominee in the main categories.  Ben Stiller's impersonation of Joaquin Phoenix was hysterical and finally convinced me it's all a hoax.  My favorite moment by far was when Kate Winslet yelled out, "Dad, whistle or something so then I'll know where you are!"  So cute, and I'm really so happy for her that she was finally given the award she deserved.  Although, not so happy she chose such a matronly dress and hairdo.  Just cause you got the golden statue doesn't mean you need to dress like a Golden Girl!

I know I'm not the only one who thought it was cold hearted that they showed Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie during Jennifer Aniston's moment on stage. It was expected but I thought The Oscars might be better than that - boy, was I wrong! That was just so tacky. I absolutely loved Jennifer's hair, although it was "Hills" hair and I'll just have to come to terms with my support of that. Oh, who am I kidding?! I sport a ginormous Lauren Conrad Mark by Avon ring!

Now on to the fashion... Wasn't much to look at this year!  Most of it was humdrum or flat out ugly.  I'm talking about you, Miley.  I'm not sure if the stars are pulling a Nicolette Sheridan and being their own stylists because of the recession, but whatever the reason, they need a fashion bailout plan FAST!


Best Dressed:

Though Tina Fey didn't walk the red carpet, she was one of the most stunning of the night!  This dress fit her like a glove and it was just the right amount of cleavage, not overboard like she was at the Golden Globes!

Diane Lane hardly looked a day over 40! This really doesn't do her justice because she glowed on TV!

Taraji P. Henson was so cute and grateful to even be at The Oscars, but she really pulled off a classic red carpet look.  I loved her hair!  The small red handbag added just the right pop of color to the crisp white dress.

Ugh, as much as I hate to say nice things about Skeletor, I liked this ensemble.  Classic black dress with a grandiose flair by pairing it with sparkling green earrings.  I thought Debbie Matenopolus was going to hurl herself from the scaffolding upon Angelina Jolie when she arrived.  Debbie actually forgot she was on TV and started screeching "ANGIE!!!" and jumping up and down.  Like a real professional.  Debbie was having a major sugar rush from the one Skittle she had eaten that day, so her hysteria when she saw her Anorexia Idol was completely understandable.

By far the best and most fabulous of the night!  Natalie Portman dared to wear a flashy color, yet didn't overdo it a la Heidi Klum and opted for minimal jewelry.  Sophisticated yet bold - ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!


Worst Dressed:

Let ze Heidi Klum drape zeself in a red satin sheet that corresponds with ze gazillion Diet Coke Heart Healthy commercials that aired during ze telecast - no one will ever be ze wiser to ze subliminal messaging!  Oh Zack Morris, how you have taught me so much in ze ways of wiling women!  Auf wiedersehen!

Why must such a gorgeous girl pick such a terrible dress!  Freida Pinto has chosen gorgeous dresses all season long, and now she chooses this wretched thing with the mono sleeve?  Ew.  I have never been a fan of the one sleeve look - sleeves are meant to come with a partner or not at all!

Aside from looking like a rock opera costume gone wrong, Marion Cotillard's dress can't seem to decide if it wants to be short or long.  It cuts off mid-thigh, then decides to vomit out a mountain of tulle.  

Um, no.  Vanessa Hudgens looks like a teen Elvira.  Why must Disney Teens invade my award shows?  Doesn't she have a Nickelodeon's Kid Choice Awards she should be at right now?

Miley Cyrus = Hot Mess.  I don't even know what this is.  I feel as if it is something that might come from the sea, some kind of crackwhore mermaid emerging from the water to post YouTube videos and slowly destroy humanity.

This picture proves we should never let Whoopi Goldberg out of her cage.

Sarah Jessica Parker aka Wedding Barbie came out to play.

So did her boobs.

Be careful, Zac Efron.  We've watched a young hunk stop washing his hair and lose his charming good looks once before.  It can be a gradual decent into the pits of Bonaduce, but it can happen to you...

Just ask Mickey Rourke.

American Music Awards

The American Music Awards took place in Los Angeles last night. I didn't watch them because frankly I don't really care, but I'm sure it was a fantastic show. To see the full list of winners, go here. Here are some pics from the arrivals:


Mary J. Blige


Ne-Yo and some weird girl in space boots


Carrie Underwood - I am so not a fan of this dress. I don't like the choker style. That would make me and my football player neck look like The Rock.


Beyonce - ugh.


Chris Brown - He always seems so jovial, doesn't he?


Fergie


Natasha Bedingfield


will.i.am


Rascal Flatts - Ease up on the hair gel.


Beyonce's sister, Solange Knowles - Apparently she is trying to be a singer, too.


Nicole Scherzinger - This is the Head Skank of The Pussycat Dolls, but I think she just went out on her own. For being such a skank, she dressed pretty conservatively last night.


Queen Latifah


Adam Levine


Maroon 5


Lenny Kravitz


Sean Kingston - Nice bling.


Kid Rock and some skank - Couldn't find a shirt for the event, Kid? I understand. It must be hard to walk through the world every day being as hot as you are and resist taking off your shirt. Really classin' up that image.


Kellie Pickler and her new twins


Jordin Sparks


Duran Duran


Ashanti


Amanda Bynes

The ABC Family/non-musical group:


Taye Diggs of the worst new show of the season "Private Practice" - Way to help Darlene give birth last week!


Christina Applegate of one of the best new shows of the season "Samantha Who?"


Chyler Leigh aka Lexi Grey from "Grey's Anatomy"


Lexi's crush, Justin Chambers with his wife Keisha and one of their 400 children


Jennie Garth of "Dancing with the Stars" with husband Peter Facinelli

The Disney Family:


Ashley Tisdale of High School Musical uno and dos


Monique Coleman of HSM 1 & 2


Vanessa Hudgens announced last night that she has been officially signed on to join the cast of High School Musical 3, despite nude pictures of her that circulated on the internet recently. Ah Walt, he's becoming so liberal these days. Remember when the biggest scandal to hit Disney was when we could hear Aladdin say, "Down, kitty. Down, kitty. Take off your clothes." Things used to be so PG.


Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montanna aka You annoy the shit out of me, as well as the whiny ass parents filing law suits against you for concert tickets. Strap on a pair and tell your kids no for once.

The Best Dressed Award goes to...


Alicia Keys

The Worst Dressed Award goes to... Drum roll, please...


Rihanna for this terrible get-up. Ummm, I think you forgot to get your dress taken up. I can see your breasts. Oh, you don't care about that? Well, my bad. Just don't come crying to me because you are cold.


Where did you leave your other glove? At MJ's house?


My mother always told me to keep my hair out of my face. Tell me, Rihanna, where is your mother tonight?



Scariest Picture of the Night/Why the Hell Are You at the American MUSIC Awards? Award goes to...


Omarosa: This image will forver haunt my dreams.
