The 18th Annual BAFTA/LA Britannia Awards took place at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Century City, California on Nov. 5, 2009.

It may have been a disaster on the screen, but the stars shone brightly at the premiere of “2012.” 
Roland Emmerich’s tragi-film centers on a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world as we know it — seriously, check out the trailer. I also have a great 5-minute clip with John Cusack front and center.
Until the Nov. 13 release date, here are a few premiere pictures of Cusack, Thandie Newton, Woody Harrelson, Danny Glover, Gilmore Girls’ Lauren Graham, and Chin Han (read my “Dark Knight” interview with him).
Also present was Adam Lambert, who sang one of the …read more

Here’s some fun news for today: Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will co-host the Oscars on March 7, 2010 on ABC. The 82nd Academy Awards will be held at the Kodak Theater at Hollywood and Highland Centre.
Producers Adam Shankman and Bill Mechanic had this canned response in the press release that landed in my inbox: “We think the team of Steve and Alec are the perfect pair of hosts for the Oscars. Steve will bring the experience of having hosted the show in the past and Alec will be a completely fresh personality for this event.”
The co-hosts had less …read more

Well, darn, I haven’t even had a chance to check out the People magazine story about how Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have moved in together and listen to the Rolling Stones and have quiet dinners at home.
Now CelebTV is reporting that the stars of “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” have called it quits. Rumor has it he wanted to get married, but she wasn’t ready. Let’s hope they’re still speaking, or that could get pretty interesting for the next two “Twilight” movies.

The Environmental Media Association celebrated its 20th anniversary with the 2009 EMA Awards at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. Here are a few of the stars who turned out for the awards.
First up: Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart, who are just the cutest couple ever. Catch Ford next in “Extraordinary Measures,” and Flockhart in “Brothers & Sisters” on ABC.

Here’s a sweet photo of a few cast members from “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” at a Rome photo call.
Check out Charlie Bewley (Demetri), Cameron Bright (Alec) and Jamie Campbell Bower (Caius) at the 4th International Rome Film Festival, where the boys were promoting the vampire flick, in theaters Nov. 20, 2009.

Miley Cyrus and Kim Cattrall were recently spotted shooting a scene for “Sex and the City 2” (in theaters May 28, 2010), where they turn up for a movie premiere in the same outfit!
The premiere is for a film called “Heart of the Desert,” which appears to star Samantha’s boyfriend, Smith (Jason Lewis). “Sex and the City” designer Patricia Field said the dresses were by Matthew Williamson.
I can’t say I’m all that thrilled about the dresses – they look a little slutty – but I’m loving those boots! And Miley is tall, isn’t she? All grown up…
