Glamour on the Riviera: Cannes Film Festival Red Carpet

/

It is quite possibly the most glamorous red carpet in the world. [If we were in a theater] the Met Gala in NYC would be the trailer for the feature which is the Cannes Film Festival. The Opening Ceremony & "La Tete Haute" Premiere at the 68th Annual Cannes Film Festival brought out the very best couture of the season.

About The Wedding Ringer

Doug Harris (Josh Gad) is a loveable but socially awkward groom-to-be with a problem: he has no best man.  With less than two weeks to go until he marries the girl of his dreams (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), Doug is referred to Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart), owner and CEO of Best Man, Inc., a company that provides flattering best men for socially challenged guys in need.  What ensues is a hilarious wedding charade as they try to pull off the big con, and an unexpected budding bromance between Doug and his fake best man Jimmy.

In Splash, Darryl Hannah called herself “Madison” after seeing a street sign; Robin Williams chose the moniker “Mrs. Doubtfire” after reading the newspaper headline “Police Doubt Fire Was Accidental;” and Jan Brady invented her fictional boyfriend “George Glass” after spying a glass of water on the table. In the upcoming film The Wedding Ringer (opening in theaters nationwide this Friday, Jan. 16), Kevin Hart’s alter ego is “Bic Mitchum,” a name inspired by a tube of Mitchum deodorant. Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting’s character, Gretchen Palmer, becomes suspicious after discovering Mitchum deodorant in the medicine cabinet next to a pack of razors.

Golden Globes 2015 Red Carpet Fashion

/

The 2015 Golden Globes red carpet sparkled and shimmered with a never ending fashion wave of glamour and couture. There were very few misses and even then, they weren't disastrous. By the same token, there were really no show-stopping red carpet moments. Except for Jennifer Lopez who wore a super-fashion hero cape. Julianne Moore, who is one of my regular faves, did not disappoint in a shimmery, feathered Givenchy and "it" girl Felicity Jones in Dior Couture. I also loved Lorde in a two-piece Narciso Rodriguez. She seemed happy and comfortable with herself, even sporting red lipstick - a welcomed and chic departure from the gothy dark! 

Some of the ladies who missed the mark were, but not limited to, Lena Dunham, Claire Danes and Kerry Washington. But the most offensive had to be Keira Knightly. She looked like a sister-wife on a FDLS cult date night. Uncle Karl what were you thinking?

The men, well most of them, brought it. Sharp, classic, dapper and debonair in their fitted black tie. However, Kevin Hart's blazer with piping was so 2009, stop it! But the worst one of all, though not surprising, was Alan Cumming. The color, fit and shoes were just plain ugly and he buttoned both buttons of his blazer - a huge no no! 

Take a look at the red carpet photo gallery and you can decide who takes the good, bad and the ugly...

The New FASHION POLICE with Kathy Griffin

fashion police

Joan Rivers' legacy lives on Monday night when the E! Network premieres the first Fashion Police after the untimely passing of its iconic and beloved host. Kathy Griffin was the obvious choice for the show and while's there's no replacing the late, great Joan Rivers, Kathy, I believe, will do quite well. C'mom, the bitch can work a pair of Loubs and has a sharp tongue - prerequisites for the job, surely. She'll be fine. And in the spirit of change and newness, stylist (and cutie-pie) George Kotsiopoulos has been replaced by flaming stylist & IG #selfie queen Brad Goreski. There hasn't been an official statement about George's departure from the show so I'm not going to speculate. I do know he is a very busy boy... and talented. I have a good feeling we'll be seeing lots of him in 2015! 

*Tune to E! on Monday for a Golden Globes Fashion Police Red Carpet Recap at 9PM. Best wishes to the new team, Giuliana, Kelly and Melissa Rivers! I'll be watching & tweeting.

JOAN RIVERS "Can we talk..."

Joan Rivers
Joan Rivers

Joan Rivers stood up from her seat in between tapings of Fashion Police during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York and looked over at the crowd beneath her at Lincoln Center. She was taking in the moment. Both arms perched on the railing. I was looking up. Suddenly, our eyes locked. I was looking at her and she at me. Joan smiled, as did I and then she walked away. That's the closest I've come to meeting Joan Rivers. I've been a fan since the days she used to joke about being "so ugly at birth, her doctor slapped her mother." That's a long time ago. I'm a huge fan and will miss Joan Rivers tremendously. My heart goes out to her daughter Melissa, her family and E! News friends.
