-Speaking of George at the Globes, it’s expected to be Amal‘s first big red carpet outing. Let’s hope the guys in Clooney’s camp that she supposedly doesn’t likestay far, far away.
-I liked this article on the rise of the female showrunner. Four of the five shows nominated for the Globes’ Best TV Comedy category are created by women, which is pretty damn rad.
-For some reason a bunch of shows are debuting returning on Sunday night (why can’t shows take a night off when they co-incide with a big awards show?!). Out of all of them (Shameless, Looking, Girls, etc.) the one that’s getting the most critical love is the new HBO show Togetherness.
-Here’s the Season 2 promo for Last Week Tonight. I’m especially looking forward to the crime-fighting pony!
–Justin Bieber got a penis enhancement, and he didn’t even have to click on one of those shady emails that fill up your spam folder.
This year’s Golden Globes’ red carpet was a sea of pale dresses and paler lips, but some stars managed to stand out. I rounded up all of the best and worst looks for MSN Canada (see the gallery here), but here’s a quick look at my faves — and my least faves.
I might be in the minority here (and judging my the MSN Facebook commenters who couldn’t believe I gave her a thumbs-up, I am), but I LOVED Emma Watson‘s look. It was young and fresh and different — exactly what someone her age should be doing. It was also not super dressy, perfect for a presenter who doesn’t want to take the spotlight away from the nominees. Perfection.
Elisabeth Moss rightly won for her role in Top of the Lake, but she was already a winner the second she stepped out on the red carpet in this sleek J Mendel dress. And I usually don’t like shiny!
Reese Witherspoon wasn’t even a nominee, but she stole the spotlight on the carpet with this slimming, sexy Calvin Klein. I love that she was one of the few who dared to opt for colour. I wish Tatiana Maslany would have worn something like this. Her flapper-inspired dress was fine, but she’s a newcomer and this was her opportunity to make her mark.
Olivia Wilde showed the other pregnant attendees how it’s done (we’re looking at you, Drew Barrymore and Kerry Washington) with this sleek and sexy green Gucci.
Raise your hand if you’re over Zooey Deschanel like I am? It’s one thing to bow to the alter of quirk, but that doesn’t mean you have to choose such aggressively unflattering outfits. And those shoes are unforgivable.
Speaking of not taking advantage of their moment in the sun, Jennifer Lawrence now has the perfect haircut to pair with a fun, edgy dress. This was not it.
Was there another dress more desperate and annoying than Paula Patton‘s overdone Stéphane Rolland Couture? She and Robin Thicke clearly deserve each other.
What were your picks for the best and worst? Tell me in the comments below.

Jason Trawick and Britney Spears at the City of Hope Charity Gala in Oct 2012. (Facebook)
-It’s been an eventful few days for Britney Spears. Not only did she leave The X Factor (possibly before getting fired), she also reportedly ended her engagement. (She’s already returned the $90k ring, answering the age-old question “Do you have to return a ring you probably paid for yourself?”)
-In happier engagement news, Olivia Wilde is flaunting her new ring from Jason Sudeikis.
–Bradley Cooper wisely laughed offromance rumours with Jennifer Lawrence, saying “I could be her father.”
-Some glorious person made a supercut of all of the Amy Poehler/Tina Fey bits from last night’s Golden Globes.
-Meanwhile, Kristen Stewart joined Robert Pattinson for the Globes afterparties, which always produce way more interesting moments than the actual show. Kristen Wiig got down on the dance floor with Bill Murray! Sofia Vergara cozied up to Daniel Craig! Damien Lewis danced Gangnam Style! Aaron Paultried to kidnapLuke from Modern Family!
-I’m really conflicted about Jodie Foster‘s coming out (but not really) speech from last night’s show. On one hand, it was brave and she made some valid points. On the other, does it make sense to stand on stage at the Golden Globes, reveal more about your love life than you ever have before, and then chide us all for invading your privacy? (Though maybe I just need John Mayerto explain it to me.)
-So apparently, people didn’t get that Jennifer Lawrence was quoting First Wives Club in her acceptance speech and assumed she was dissing Meryl Streep.
-And to wrap up all the Golden Globes talk, here are 35 photos that prove even celebrities look crappy in Polaroids.
-So let me get this straight: we waited six and a half years for Justin Timberlake to return with an ode to big butts?
-CTV just posted the first half of the two-hour Smash season premiere online, if anyone still cares about that show.
-Wanna see Demi Moorewearing a tiny bikini and covered in clay? Too late; I’m linking to it anyway.
-Speaking of things I can never unsee, here’s Justin Bieberin skinny jeans.
