Christina Hendricks' Husband Blasts New York Times Over Photoshopped Image
Christina Hendricks' husband Geoffrey Arend was very unhappy
about the cheap shots Cathy Horyn of The New York Times took at his wife. Cathy blasted the pale peach ruffled Christian Siriano gown Christina wore to the Golden Globes, approvingly quoting some anonymous stylist as saying "You don't put a big girl in a big dress. That's rule number one." The commentary ran with a photo of Christina that had been photoshopped to make her look fifty pounds heavier than she is. Cathy later admitted the photo had been altered, and replaced it on the site. She then claimed that the photo had been "slightly distorted inadvertently due to an error during routine processing." People reports:
At a SAG awards after party, Arend stopped to defend his wife to People. "I was just upset about the whole Golden Globes dress thing. I thought she looked so gorgeous. And that New York Times blogger saying that... It's so ridiculous."

"What was nice was seeing the entire internet come after that blogger. That was really cool. It was the first time I saw just a solid block of 'You're crazy! What's wrong with you? You should be ashamed of yourself!' [in the comments.] And honestly, the Grey Lady should be ashamed of themselves to print a picture like that, that they widened!"
Christina told People that she loved the gown and that she thought she looked gorgeous that night. We agree.

Which Golden Globes Actress Got Stuck With a $10,000 Bill for a Ruined Dress?
Rob Shuter at Pop Eater says that the rain at the Golden Globes is costing at least one actress quite a bit of money. The celebs have to sign contracts making them responsible for their gowns and jewelry if something happens to them. Well, many of those couture gowns were absolutely ruined because of the pouring rain, and lack of tenting over the red carpet (that was an epic logistics fail, by the way).
Let me tell you a little secret. All those gorgeous dresses that you see your favorite stars wearing on the red carpet at all the awards show are borrowed. Yes, they are on loan, which means they need to be returned in the same condition in which they were received. After Sunday's washout, most of the clothes were damp and soiled rags.
"These designer dresser are not made to go outside. They are fragile works of art, many of which are stored in climate-controlled vaults. Now they are destroyed and the stars are responsible for the cost of replacing them," an A-list stylist (whose client has been left with a bill for $10,000!) told me.
So who is the A-list stylist and the actress who got stuck with the bill? Rachel Zoe dressed four women at the Globes: Jennifer Garner, Kate Hudson, Paula Patton and Cameron Diaz (who all looked fabulous, by the way). Cameron and Kate were very carefully holding their gowns off the carpet during interviews. It's not Jennifer Aniston: she skipped the red carpet to avoid the ruinous rain. And it's not Julia Roberts: she wisely wore a short, vintage YSL dress. If anything got ruined, it was her shoes.
Nicole Chavez usually dresses Rachel Bilson and Kristen Bell and Tara Swennen has styled Kristen Stewart and Angie Harmon in the past, but we don't think either of them are the tipster. Jennifer Rade was doing commentary at the Globes, so we don't think it was one of her clients. Angelina Jolie wasn't even at the Globes.
Could it be Chloe Sevigny? If it is, she needs to forward the bill to NBC because it was an NBC employee who tore her Valentino gown.
Neil Patrick Harris Seated Dangerously Close to Mickey Rourke at Golden Globes
At the Golden Globe awards Neil Patrick Harris was seated frighteningly close to Mickey Rourke, who will be playing the villain Whiplash in the upcoming Iron Man sequel. Neil Patrick Harris posted the photograph above on his Twitter, @ActuallyNPH, which reveals that Mickey Rourke was sitting at a table behind him. Fortunately, Neil made it out of the Golden Globes unharmed.
Lea Michele of Glee looked really beautiful at the Golden Globes on Sunday night. Lea wore a stunning black Oscar de la Renta gown which featured a strapless fitted bodice, a full skirt and lace overlay. She accessorized with 83-carat emerald and 3-carat diamond drop earrings and a 16-carat diamond and platinum bracelet, both by Chopard (you can see up close shots of the jewelry at People).
Lea was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series - Comedy Or Musical, but she lost out to Toni Collette of United States of Tara.
TV Guide Network's Carrie Ann Inaba and Chris Harrison interviewed Lea on the red carpet about how her life has changed since being cast on Glee. Take a look:
Video: Clumsy Oaf Rips Chloe Sevigny's Valentino Gown at the Golden Globes
At the Golden Globes Sunday night,
Chloe Sevigny won Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role - Series for her role in Big Love. She was thrilled to win, but as she was making her way to the stage the clumsy oaf who escorted her up the steps stepped on her lilac chiffon Valentino couture gown and ripped it. Chloe was so horrified that she gave a little scream, and repeated as if in shock "I can't believe he just ripped my dress!" before she launched into her acceptance speech. This film is evidence that it wasn't Chloe's fault; hopefully, the couture house will be forgiving. But that guy needs to be fired from stage duty. Chloe accessorized her look with diamond earrings by Buccellati, a vintage ring by Stephen Russell, and a clutch by Roger Vivier.
Take a look:
Drew Barrymore won a Golden Globe at the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards for her performance in the HBO film, Grey Gardens.

Paul McCartney Carries Giant Umbrella on Golden Globes Red Carpet
Paul McCartney was the smartest person on the red carpet at the Golden Globes. While other stars had to deal with small umbrellas or no umbrella at all, Paul McCartney walked in with a monster umbrella. The tent-sized umbrella easily protected Paul McCartney and his girlfriend, Nancy Shevall, from the rain.
Zachary Levi and Amy Poehler presented at this year's Golden Globes. Amy Poehler was wearing a red Jay Godfrey gown and Chopard cushion-cut diamond earrings and a diamond bracelet. Zachary Levi was a last-minute sub for NBC news anchor Brian Williams, who is covering the Haiti earthquake.

2010 Golden Globes: Olivia Wilde Wears Metallic Gucci Dress
Olivia Wilde arrived on the Golden Globe's red carpet in a metallic silver Gucci dress. She was also wearing Tiffany's diamond drop earrings with black onyx circles and carrying a Judith Leiber clutch. Olivia's beautiful dress is going to be auctioned off by Artists for Peace and Justice to raise money for the Haiti recovery effort. TV Guide showed off some hologram technology that allowed stars to see a dress they wore to previous award shows. Olivia said she was relieved she wasn't wearing the Marchesa dress shown in the hologram during this year's rainy awards ceremony. Take a look:
2010 Golden Globes: Meryl Streep Wears Gown by Chris March
Project Runway's Chris March was thrilled to be asked to design Meryl Streep's evening gown for the Golden Globes Sunday night. Meryl looked amazing in the black gown which featured a belt and asymmetrical sleeves. She wore her hair in a classic updo with subtle eye makeup and crimson lips to really make the look pop. People has the scoop on how this collaboration came about:
The designer, who met the actress through her hair and makeup team, was called about a month ago to work on a design for Meryl's double-nomination at the Globes. "I wanted to faint!" Chris tells People about receiving the call. "I have always wanted to design something for someone like that, and it was a great and amazing opportunity." Soon thereafter, Chris met with Meryl to discuss his vision. "I liked the idea of putting a belt on an evening gown -- I think it gives [a gown] a modern twist. I sketched it out quickly and she really liked it," Chris says. And while Meryl might be one of the biggest stars in Tinseltown, Chris says meeting her was anything but intimidating. "She is the sweetest person you can imagine. She's very friendly and welcoming and I wasn't nervous at all."
After turning out Meryl's dress in under a month, all the hard work paid off when Chris watched the Julie & Julia star take the stage to receive her Golden Globe for best leading actress. "I almost had a heart attack when Colin Farrell read her name. It was very exciting to see her come up on stage wearing a dress that I made with my own two hands," says Chris. "I thought it made her look tall and thin and comfortable and confident. It looked great!"
We adore Meryl and think she looked stunning. Perhaps Chris will whip up another fabulous gown for Meryl to wear at the Oscars.
