Touché, Nicole

I'm so happy we had our little chat about your red carpet look at the LA premiere of Nine. I mean, you've done a complete 180 in less than a week! No more suit separates and boring hair for you!

Just look at this fabulous Prada dress you went and selected for the NYC premiere.

The fit is lovely, the silhouette is fun, the flower appliqué is very appropriate... But, uhm... You kinda forgot something. The powder? Under your eyes and around your nose? You know, the kind that makeup artists typically use to ensure no eyeshadow or anything ends up under your eye? Well, that's a great little tip... But you're kinda supposed to brush the powder away once you're done with the eyeshadow. How does one miss something this obvious? Surely if your makeup was rushed, or whatever, you had to come into contact with at least one other person on your way to the premiere? Shouldn't they have warned you? No? Maybe the limo was too dark to notice or something?

I feel like this was a big miss on everyone's part. Powder tragedy aside, I love the dress. I love the hair. I love the makeup (the non-powder part, at least). Glad our little talk set you straight, darling.

You were not the only one that had a fabulous night, though.

Fergie wins the night for me. She's rockin' the Grecian goddess look like no other. I cannot even find a descriptive word appropriate enough for how much I adore this flowing Marchesa (Resort 2010 Collection) gown. The belt, the clutch, the stunning Chopard diamond cuff? Seriously made of awesome. I think that Fergie often looks very harsh, but that's not the case here. The soft waves and makeup fit perfectly. Major win. Major.

Another vision in white was Oscar winner, Marion Cotillard. She looks gorgeous in a sparkling Christian Dior dress that had one of the prettiest silhouettes of the night, but I could've done without the long Chopard beads. I think it takes away from the embellishment on the front of the dress. Her hair and makeup looks beautiful, though, so I can get over it. She's also carrying a Judith Leiber clutch to complete the outfit.

Holy smokes... She looks hot. I'm really not a fan of satin dresses for the most part... But this one works. I guess when you're Penelope Cruz there are very few things that don't work for you? As gorgeous as she looks in this Chanel Couture gown, I prefer the Ralph Lauren gown she wore to the LA premiere.

Kate Hudson, looking...interesting in Chanel Couture (Fall 2009 Collection) brought her mom, Goldie Hawn in Christian Dior (Spring 2008 Collection) as her date. How cute are they? I'm not in love with either outfit, but Goldie is one of my favorite people. I'll forgive her just about anything. Even that fur thing.

Okay, so everyone has been raving about this structured Marchesa dress on Naomi Watts, but I just don't like it. I think it fits her perfectly and the color is really fun... But I still don't like it. Great shoes, though! I also think she could have stepped it up with her hair and makeup... It looks way too casual for this event.

Which premiere do you think was better? NYC or LA?

Consider Me Gleek-ed

In case you've been living under a rock and haven't seen the 87-gazillion promos that Fox has been running for the last four months, or the posters and ads all over every mall, magazine, website,etc, I'm here to tell you that Glee is pretty freakin' awesome.

It follows a young teacher, Will Scheuster (Matthew Morrison), who resurrects a high school's glee club in an attempt to regain some of the joy he got from his own high school experience. I personally think he just needs time away from his atrocious wife (played perfectly the lovely Jessalyn Gilsig). But regardless, he's got his work cut out for him with a quirky, but talented, group of kids.

Now, okay, I admit that the level of campiness is cutting it pretty close to even my personal threshold... But I love it anyway. It's fun, it doesn't take itself seriously at all, and come on people! There is singing and dancing! In the middle of high school! And spaz-tastic nerds, evil cheerleaders, and tons of talent. Sure, the performances are all clearly lip-synched, but hello... Half the performances on MTV or anywhere else are lip-synched, too.

The bottom line is that once you get past all the surface cheesiness, you end up with a fun show that has some great actors and will have you tapping your feet along with their performances. Besides, it's from the creator of Nip/Tuck and Popular (oh, how I miss this show!) so how can you go wrong? It might be crazy, but you can bet it will be entertaining.

Here's a taste of what you get on the show:

The Glee club performs Journey's "Don't Stop Believing"

A rival club performs Amy Winehouse's "Rehab"

Both are pretty awesome. So get to watchin'!

Anybody else a fan?
