Here are some photos from last night?s British Fashion Awards, an annual event celebrating fashion and British fashion in particular, although most attendees aren?t wearing British designers. Take Anne Hathaway, who turned up at the event in a vintage Valentino gown. This is literally from the Valentino archives, a museum piece which Anne was allowed to borrow. It?s very pretty, but if you got a chance to wear an archived Valentino, wouldn?t you go for one of the bigger, brighter looks?
Simone Ashley also wore Valentino, but not a vintage piece. This is? very short. I mean, she has legs for days, but lord, how did she sit down?
Rita Ora wore a specially made Primark dress with a chrome spike down the back. From the front, it looks like a basic black dress, but the party?s in the back. Do you think Taika Waititi is tired of this?
Kate Moss looked really good here I like that she kept it simple.
Letitia Wright wore Prada I?m so glad that ?dress-over-pants? is coming back into style.
Ashley Park wore a big fish! LOL.

| Gwyneth Paltrow in vintage Valentino at the British Fashion Awards: tomato chic? | Added 149 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Much like Anne Hathaway, Gwyneth Paltrow also got to choose a vintage Valentino look from the Valentino archives for last night?s British Fashion Awards. I have no idea if the house of Valentino actually selected the looks or Anne and Gwyneth got to choose their own, but I suspect that Gwyneth probably would have chosen differently. Did no one tell her that she was going to ?match? the Fashion Awards background? It?s also hilarious because Anne got the far superior vintage look. Goop looks like a fuzzy tomato.
Pamela Anderson in Stella McCartney actually one of my favorite looks of the night? She?s been going no-makeup to events this year and she looks amazing.
Jodie Comer in Victoria Beckham. She looks underdressed, but it?s fine.
Taylor Russell in Loewe. Loewe is so funky! This looks really cool on Taylor though, and she?s become a budding fashionista.
Hello, Andrew Garfield in a tux!

| Prince William & Kate will 'never reconcile' with the Sussexes after the racist scandal | Added 150 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Since 2020, we?ve heard that Prince William ?absolutely fking hates? the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. We?ve heard it over and over again, that William despises them, that he will never forgive them, that he follows their movements obsessively because of his hatred, that he will travel to America more often because he loathes Harry so much, that the next time William will speak to Harry, it will be at their father?s funeral. The problem is that William clearly has no more threats left, no more punishments, nothing more to withhold. If he?s been a violent, simmering ball of rage for years, why does it matter if he?s particularly mad this week over Omid Scobie?s Endgame? Welcome to Tom Sykes? Royalist column in the Daily Beast, where ?sources close to William? once again meet a crisis with nothing but rage.
The naming of Kate Middleton as one of the alleged ?royal racists? means Kate and Prince William will never reconcile with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a friend of William and Kate?s told The Daily Beast.
While King Charles is expected to continue to maintain cordial relations with his son, and contact with his grandchildren, William and Kate will have ?zero interest? in ever seeing Harry and Meghan again, the friend said.
The friend admitted they had ?no idea? before this week?s revelation that Kate was being referred to by Meghan Markle when she told Oprah Winfrey that a family member had raised ?concerns? about ?how dark? Archie?s skin might be.
They said they were ?as shocked as everyone else? by the dramatic developments this week, which saw the king and Kate named as the individuals in question in a Dutch-language version of Omid Scobie?s new book, Endgame.
However they added, ?It has been clear for a long time to anyone who knows them that they don?t want to see Harry and Meghan. Now we know why. They will have zero interest in ever seeing them again.?
Although Meghan?s camp have briefed the Telegraph that she did not leak the letter to Scobie, the suspicion that she did is widespread among royal insiders.
One former courtier told The Daily Beast: ?It is pretty obvious that detail on the contents of a letter between two people would have to come from one of those people, and it?s hard to see Charles sharing it.?
The Sun has previously reported that palace insiders believe Meghan did share the contents of the letter, citing sources as saying: ?That letter is under lock and key and no one from within the king?s circle would?ve briefed anyone about its contents. In all likelihood, it must have been the Sussex camp which leaked the names. It?s a nasty and deliberate attack.?
[From The Daily Beast]
I?m a broken record about this, I know, but how fking stupid are all of these people? Are they legitimately this dumb, or is it all some kind of elaborate feint so the peasants don?t catch wind of what?s actually happening? As Omid Scobie and Piers Morgan have said, the names of the royal racists have been known by British journalists for some time, I would imagine for years. Journalists knew the names before we even heard any reporting on the letters exchanged between Charles and Meghan the letters were exchanged in 2021, and we learned of the existence of the letters in April of this year. Meghan didn?t leak the existence of the letters Buckingham Palace did. Besides that, my larger point is that the knowledge of the identities predates the letters. Someone could know the identities of the royal racists without seeing the letters exchanged by Meghan and Charles. As for Peg & Buttons hatred snooze. Its sad that even in the middle of a racist storm, they come across as desperate for attention.

| Angie Harmon on menopause: I wake up and my face is four times its size | Added 153 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Angie Harmon called herself a liberal republican in 2013 so Ive side eyed her for some time. Shes also spoken, at length, about how shes discriminated against in Hollywood for being a republican. She has made some progress recently, so maybe shes changed. In a recent interview with People Magazine Angie was spitting truths which were timely for me to read. Angie is 51 and shes going through menopause. She told People magazine that exercise isnt working like it used to, that she gets so bloated all the time, and that shes basically struggling. OMG same.
Angie Harmon, 51, opened up to PEOPLE about how her body hasn?t been feeling like her own since hitting her 50s and going through menopause.
?The thing that I hate the most is when youre going through menopause, your body just isnt yours anymore,? she tells PEOPLE while explaining the changes and symptoms she?s experienced.
?The workouts that you used to do, they dont work anymore. And I love salt so much, and I swear to God, if I even smell it, I wake up the next morning and my eyes are almost swollen, closed. My face is four times its size,? she said. ?I mean, I have to think about all of these things now that I didnt used to have to think about.?
Harmon says there are even times her face gets so ?puffy? and ?gross? that she doesn?t recognize herself in the mirror.
In addition to the changes in her body, Harmon admits that her energy levels have started to decrease and she?s just been accepting it.
?I think the beauty of being in my fifties is that I definitely have those days where I dont feel like getting out of bed,? she says. ?Im exhausted. I just want to lay there and read a magazine about fashion or decorating and thats it.?
?Ill get up and make my daughter?s lunch and get her to school and do the whole thing and blah, blah, blah,? she adds. ?But I feel like Im coming back home and its one or two things, either laying down or working out. Whichever way the scale tips that day, thats where I go and I dont feel bad about it.?
As she tries to adjust, Harmon said that she?s turned to hot yoga to regulate the bodily changes that have come with menopause.
?I started hot yoga? and I mean you literally sweat out of your eyeballs and it is awesome,? said the Baywatch Nights star. ?Hot yoga. Im telling you, you get in there and you just sweat. I used to be a runner. I used to do all that stuff and I do still, but it just doesnt do what it used to do to my body.?
?Its just a StairMaster and hot yoga and three to five pound weights if Im feeling really good that day,? Harmon continued.
[From People]
As I go through this annoying sh-t, I think back to Viola Daviss interview on Fallon where she said shes angry and hungry all the time. (Shes talked about menopause in other interviews.) I can relate so much to that. Also, I have noticed that my face and hands are swollen frequently and that my joints hurt way more than they used to. I didnt make the connection that the puffiness was due to menopause so it helped me a lot to read this. I cant take hormones because I get high blood pressure from even the lowest dose birth control. I may sound exceptionally negative here but I blame that on menopause it is an absolute bitch. My only advice, and Im saying this mostly for myself, is to just force yourself to exercise if you can because it helps. I have to drag my ass to the gym but once I do a workout I never regret it. Or just stay home and say screw it, like Angie mentioned. Thats better advice, to do whatever you need and not stress about it.
I forgot that she has a pet squirrel!

| Felicity Huffman: I thought I had to break the law to 'give my daughter a future' | Added 153 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Remember Operation Varsity Blues? Several high-profile/celebrity parents in the LA area got caught in an FBI sting. The crimes included changing SAT answers, bribing college admissions officials, faking athletic backgrounds to get college admittance and scholarships and a lot more. Felicity Huffman was one of the moms who hired for Rick Singer to ?arrange? for an SAT monitor to change her daughters? SAT answers so the daughter would get a higher score. Felicity pleaded guilty to the federal charges and she got a two-week prison sentence, and she ended up getting released after one week. She also got sentenced to community service, and she?s still working with the same charity, which is why she?s given a big interview. While these are not her first comments on the whole ordeal (circa 2019-2020), this is the first sit-down interview I?ve seen with Felicity since all of it went down.
People assume that I went into this looking for a way to cheat the system and making proverbial criminal deals in back alleys, but that was not the case, Felicity Huffman said. I worked with a highly recommended college counselor named Rick Singer. I worked with him for a year and trusted him implicitly; he recommended programs and tutors and he was the expert. And after a year, he started to say, Your daughter is not going to get into any of the colleges that she wants to. And so, I believed him. When he slowly started to present the criminal scheme, it seemed like ? and I know this seems crazy at the time ? that that was my only option to give my daughter a future. I know hindsight is 20/20 but it felt like I would be a bad mother if I didnt do it. So, I did it.?
It felt like I had to give my daughter a chance at a future, she said. And so it was sort of like my daughters future, which meant I had to break the law.
The actress ? who says she did not tell her daughter Sophia about her plans ? recalled having second thoughts about what she had done as she drove her to the exam. She was going, Can we get ice cream afterwards? Im scared about the test. What can we do thats fun?? And I kept thinking, Turn around, just turn around, Huffman told the news outlet. To my undying shame, I didnt.
She served 11 days of her 14-day prison sentence in October 2019. The star was also sentenced to 250 hours of community service and was on supervised release for one year. Huffman completed her full sentence by October 2020. Her husband, Shameless star William H. Macy, was not charged in relation to the event. Her daughter Sophia later retook the SAT and was accepted into Carnegie Mellon Universitys theatre program, where she is currently studying.
[From People]
Yeah? it was such a sleazy thing to do, but at this point, I do believe that she was just one of those obsessive helicopter moms who thought she could throw money at ?the problem,? the problem being that she didn?t have faith that her daughters could get into college on their own merit. I hope this whole thing was a wake-up call for Felicity with her parenting style too, that she was actually being a sh-tty mother who treated her daughters like they were too stupid to do anything for themselves. Beyond that? she served her sentence, apologized, admitted guilt and she?s spent the past three years doing a lot of charity work. The best way to handle it.

| Millie Bobby Brown: 'I like fake trees. It's a huge debate in the house' | Added 153 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Millie Bobby Brown loves the holidays. Depending on who you ask, the Christmas holiday season either started on November 1 (cough, Mariah, cough) or right after Thanksgiving. I know some people who have had their trees and decorations up for weeks and others (like us) who are just doing them now. When I was growing up, my parents always got a real tree. When Mr. Rosie and I were first living together back in our dating years, we caused a slight scandal by buying an artificial one. At the time, our reasoning was we were living in an apartment with a rambunctious kitten. I just wanted the convenience of having the fake tree that I didn?t have to water and constantly sweep up needles from.
Fast-forward to 2021 when we ponder, ?Should we get a real tree now that we?re in a house?? Well, we have now somehow ended up with THREE Christmas trees in one room. It?s absurd but it?s also quite nice. Anyways, back to MBB. She?s a 19-year-old powerhouse and is engaged to Jon Bon Jovi?s son, Jake. From what we?ve seen publicly, Millie and Jake appear to have a healthy, drama-free relationship. But even they cannot escape the usual holiday disagreements. In their case, they are split between types of Christmas trees. In an interview with Eating Well, MBB shared that she likes fake trees while Jake favors the real ones.
EatingWell: What are your holiday plans looking like?
Brown: I love the holidays, its definitely my favorite time of year. [My fianc] Jakes more into real trees, I like fake trees. Its a huge debate in the house. I love hot cocoa and my tea, and I love the fire being on. I love it being freezing cold outside and the puppies and dogs are all comfy and cozy. Winter time is definitely my hibernation time, and I absolutely love being able to just be inside with the family.
[From Eating Well]
It?s so relatable that an otherwise drama-free couple debates what type of tree to have in their home. I?m genuinely curious where everyone stands on the real vs. artificial tree debate! That topic reminds me of the Bringing Back Christmas song from the excellent musical, Spirited. As I said above, our quest to get a live tree ended up with us now having three trees. It?s ridiculous but it?s also lovely because each tree represents a different part of us. We have the artificial one that hosts all of the homemade and kitschy ornaments, a real one that we use for ?fancy? ornaments, and another tiny real tree that the kids pick out to decorate themselves (and thus far they?ve tried to imitate the fancy tree by picking the tiny ball ornaments and very twinkly lights from Target). I know it?s overkill, but honestly, it makes each of us happy and grateful. To me, that?s what Christmas is all about.

Back in May, Taylor Swift released a new edition of her Midnights album, and the new edition included a new-to-fans song called ?You?re Losing Me.? Swifties soon put the pieces together that Taylor was explaining why she and Joe Alwyn broke up he didn?t want to marry her, she didn?t want to conform to whatever image he had of what ?his girlfriend? should look like, etc. I covered the song here it came out when Taylor and her team were in the trenches over Tay?s relationship with Matt Healy, and the song absolutely had the feel of a convenient distraction from that PR mess. It?s also worth noting that while we only found out about the Swift-Alwyn split in early spring, I absolutely had the vibe that Taylor and Joe were on the rocks for a while before then. Enter Jack Antonoff (Taylor?s friend and producer), who posted this epic ?clue? this week:

| A barely-recognizable Jessica Simpson stepped out in NYC to receive an Icon Award | Added 154 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Over the summer, Jessica Simpson did a big exclusive with Bustle an editorial and an interview. I hadn?t seen new photos of her in a while and I was startled by how different she looked in those pics. She said, in the interview, that she?s not on Ozempic, but her face tells a different story. Well, Jessica stepped out this week in New York, and here are some photos of her appearance. She was honored at Footwear News? Annual Achievement Awards and she received the Icon Award for her successful footwear and clothing company.
I?m not sure how much I want to get into it or try to figure out what Jessica has done to herself. After her third child and after Jessica got sober, she steadily lost weight and that changed her face. But? yeah, I also think she?s gotten some work done and it?s not good quality work either. She was always so beautiful, but it?s actually on-brand for Jess that she sort of looks like a Real Housewife now.
Professionally, Jessica is seemingly in a good place, so at least there?s that. She and her mother have basically bought back full control of Jessica?s eponymous clothing line and brand, and Jessica is maybe/probably still in debt up to her eyeballs. It honestly feels pretty tenuous, so I hope everything works out in the end.

| Jennifer Garner has so many bags of nuts in her backpack it's embarrassing | Added 155 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Jennifer Garner has really built up her whole brand on being a ?relatable mom.? I like Garner going back to her Alias days. I know she and Ben Affleck used to do those church and farmers market type family walks for the paparazzi, but since they?ve been divorced, she seems to be a lot more lowkey. I could not even tell you who her new boyfriend is or what he looks like. Part of Jennifer?s public persona is doing videos on Instagram. In a recent video, she showed her followers what?s in her backpack. It starts out innocent, with pens, books, an iPad, and candy. Then, things start to get a little nutty.
?What?s in my bag? I?m embarrassed to even show you ?. ,? Garner, 51, teased via Instagram on Saturday, November 25. The actress proceeded to pull everything out of her backpack for her followers to see. The contents started out normal enough, with a notebook, glasses case and ?a little pouch of pens because pens are life.?
However, the Family Switch actress quickly learned that like a squirrel she hoards nuts ? and candy ? for the winter.
?A little tiny bag of nuts,? she said while pulling a plastic bag out of her carry-all. ?I?m gonna keep these ? just kidding.?
Garner was then surprised to see that she had another plastic bag of nuts and multiple prepackaged varieties of the food item, including two pistachio snacks, in her bag as well. ?Nuts. Nuts. Nuts. Nuts,? she said as one by one she unveiled another bag.
The 13 Going on 30 star broke into laughter and started to cry as she kept finding more nuts. ?I?m so scared I?m not going to have any nuts,? she joked through her tears, revealing that she counted eight bags in total.
Garner?s second biggest bag revelation was that she had both empty and full bags of candies hidden deep in her backpack. ?Gotta have your candy handy,? she joked after finding two bags of the same brand. While Garner also carried two books and an iPad, it was her food choices that caught the attention of her fans and friends.
?You are adorable ,? Courteney Cox replied in the comments, while Mindy Kaling agreed, ?Pens are LIFE.?
Reese Witherspoon, meanwhile, wrote what many of Garner?s followers were thinking, commenting, ?So many nuts!! Are you a squirrel? .? One fan went as far as to call Garner ?the Mary Poppins of nuts.?
[From Us Weekly]
?The Mary Poppins of nuts? is absolutely hilarious. The entire video is a really fun watch. It?s also relatable to someone like me, who carries around a tote bag full of ?What if I need these?? items when, really, I would get by just fine with only a clutch, lol. I am also a person who believes that pens are life and The Giver (in her bag because she?s reading with her son) is one of my favorite books. The bag is, well, a Relatable Mom bag.
But back to all the nuts! You never know when you?re going to get hungry and nuts are a good snack option. The immature part of me wonders if she was also giggling at saying the word ?nuts? so many times. My kindergartener once brought home a school library book that was about a squirrel hunting for nuts and by page four, I was crying from laughing so hard. Every sentence was something to the effect of, ?I love nuts! Nuts are yummy! I want to eat some nuts!? I truly burst out laughing every time I said the word. Then, my nine-year-old heard me laughing and came into the room and started chanting ?Deez nuts.?
Also, I may be the last person to know this but just in case I?m not, heres a little PSA: Last night, I discovered that Alias is on Disney+ and Amazon Prime. It really gave me a hankering to do a rewatch. I love the first three seasons of that show and it?s been a good 15 years since my last rewatch. (It was possibly right after The Hangover came out.) It may be time to revisit the world of Sydney Bristow and the yummy Michael Vaughn.

| Jessica Chastain calls SAG-AFTRA deal 'fair and just and historic' | Added 157 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Best Performance by an Actress in a Union-Supporting Role 2023 goes to Jessica Chastain. Throughout the SAG-AFTRA strike, Jessica was articulate on the issues at stake and why they were vital to working actors. She also had more opportunity to talk than her fellow thesps, as her latest film, Memory, received an interim agreement which allowed her to attend film festivals and give interviews. She dutifully explained how waivers worked and asked if independent studios could meet actors? needs, then why couldn?t AMPTP? Now that the SAG-AFTRA strike is over, Jessica is touting all that?s good about the new contract. She?s currently serving as jury president at the Marrakech International Film Festival (where Memory is screening but not in competition) and talked to reporters about the film and the new deal:
Fair and just and historic: ?I?m glad that our SAG leadership has gotten to a deal they think is fair and just and historic in its own right,? said Chastain on the red carpet? ?We?re still waiting to find out what the voters are going to choose ? if they?re going to ratify the contract. I?ve looked through it. I do think personally it?s a good deal, but of course, I only have one vote. It?s important to me what everyone else thinks as well. The beautiful thing about taking a vote is that everyone gets to have a say,? she told a reporter with Deadline.
Hollywood strike poster girl: Asked if she had planned to be the poster girl for Hollywood strikes, she said that she was put in that position by accident, and the move wasn?t orchestrated. ?I became public by default ? I didn?t choose to be so public about it. It just so happened because my film had an interim agreement, and because so many actors were nervous, I think, to speak out, I just ended up being one of the first, and I think when you end up being one of the first in that case, you really have a big spotlight on yourself,? she said.
An actor prepares: ?I did my homework. I spoke to the leadership at SAG. I asked them, ?How can I best support this acting community?? because SAG is the most important community that I?ve ever been a part of. I would never want to do anything against them, and I only wanted to support them. It was kind of like I became public by default, but I was very happy to support in every way I could.?
Working with Memory director Michel Franco: ?The way Michel works is transfixing. He shoots in a way where you feel as a voyeur rather than an audience falling into a scene ? He doesn?t cut within a scene. Actors are given the freedom of doing whatever we feel like. While we stick to the script, everything is done in one take ? It is like doing theatre where you get freedom, creativity, and inspiration,? said Chastain.
[From Gulf News]
I have to confess that my aunt cant stand Jessica Chastain! I think it started when Jessica won the Critics Choice Award for Zero Dark Thirty in 2013 and quoted Bertolt Brecht. (Which was so silly to me, because if I were to hate Jessica Chastain it would be for her having natural red hair, my dream.) Jessica was exceedingly earnest back then, but remember, she was just breaking through after years and years of being broke on the sidelines. But all of that is why she was the perfect ?poster girl? for the strike ? she knows the cost of building a career from the ground up. She?s been there, having had no connections or family in the industry. And now that she?s comfortable, she loves nothing more than to advocate for her peers on the other side of that trajectory. Still earnest, but also just good, clean kindness. Backed by a killer wardrobe.
