It was a blast Tweeting for the Golden Globes - the only snafu was running out of champagne halfway through. Where is Mariah Carey when you need her? I, much like the celebs, view the Golden Globes as practice for the Academy Awards. Of course my prep consists of stretching my fingers in anticipation of five hours of Tweeting, while the stars are getting ready for a career-changing night. Same difference. The good news is that I only scared off two Twitter followers. For the rest of you lovelies, don't worry! I normally don't hog the screen. Anyhow, I thought Ricky Gervais made the Globes entertaining. He doesn't appear to take himself, or Hollywood, too seriously which is refreshing. When he kicked off things by joking about plastic surgery and the size of his penis, I knew we were in for a good time. Fashion naturally took the front seat for the pre-show red carpet. I thought Sandra Bullock, Emily Blunt and Christina Hendricks were the winners. Why is it that resident E! twig Giuliana Rancic was so rabid about pursuing diet tips from female stars last night? It was kind of awkward. I was hoping for the drama of the Angelina Jolie to Ryan Seacrest snub last night - and I got it in the frantic Giuliana trying to flag down George Clooney while using Up In The Air costar Anna Kendrick as "bait." That was a cringe-worthy, laugh-out-loud moment. As usual, the red carpet was more fun than the ceremony itself. Ricky kept things snapping, but pans out to the audience caught the looks of bored peeps more than once. A room full of actors who can't feign excitement for three hours? All the top winners were charming - Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Bridges and Robert Downey Jr. all gave great speeches. Alec Baldwin also snagged an award, but was not in attendance. A bummer for sure - he's a genius comedian who always charms at the podium. The surprise of the evening was an aged and somewhat humble James Cameron. I was expecting, "I'm the king of the world!" Instead he seemed rather mellow. I know people are freaking out over Avatar, but I still say it's overrated. Nothing to kill yourself over, that's for sure. Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler have tongues wagging today. They both attended solo, but spent the evening glued to one another's sides. Are they together or are they ramping up promotion for the hot-mess action-flick The Bounty Hunter? Jen seemed totally flustered onstage. A shame because she really looked stunning last night. Her dress featured a slit that nearly introduced us to her "precious lady" - as another Jennifer (Love Hewitt) likes to call it. No word on if it was bedazzled with crystals. Perhaps we should ask Gerard? The evening was an overall success. It's left me longing for more champagne and fashion-action. Good thing the Oscars are around the corner!
