Palm Springs sure makes everyone look stunning. The British (C)Kates along with Sienna Miller all looked amazing. As usual, Jessica Biel was all class showing off her sick and well rested body. She was there to receive the Rising Star Award. Another big winner of the night was Babel who took best ensemble performance and Director of the Year. Cate Blanchett won Career Achievement of the Year for her work in the film as well as Notes on a Scandal and The Good German. Brad may not have won an award on his own but Cate made sure to throw some attention his way. Here's more:
Blanchett on stage joked that she could barely speak English, prompting Pitt to play interpreter and feign sign language. He also lead the crowd of 1,800 (which included Morgan Freeman, Laurence Fishburne, Alan Arkin and Sissy Spacek) in singing Happy Birthday to their Japanese Babel co-star, Rinko Kikuchi. In honor of Kikuchi's 26th birthday, Blanchett playfully said she was pulling a Britney Spears — "not wearing any underwear this evening."
Tiffany was an event sponsor, and stars were greeted on the red carpet by a 5-foot version of the jeweler's signature blue gift box, wrapped in white ribbon. Kate Winslet (honored for acting achievement for her role in Little Children) Winslet said her "childlike brain" was hoping to see "a person leap out of the box and perform some fabulous tap dance." The gift box sparked "extreme excitement" from presenter Sienna Miller. "I'd like to be in that box with whatever else is in there," she said.
Sounds like a great night. Love the fact that Cate Blanchett is totally up to speed on Britney's missing underwear! Goes to show that A-List celebs don't take themselves too seriously.

Clearly Reese is moving right along with her life. She made her first public appearance to honor her idol Dolly Parton last weekend. She even coached Jessica through her flub at the event which is really odd since she supposedly bashed the blonde newlywed at one point. Anyway, while her personal life may be experiencing a hiccup, her career is still going strong. Meryl Streep and Alan Arkin have joined the cast of Rendition, the film that Reese is filming with Jake. Reese seems to be holding together pretty well. Shopping in cozy clothes and Uggs always helps.
