Clint Eastwood, 79, took three red carpet dates with him to the London premiere of his film, Invictus, this weekend. His dates were: wife Dina, their daughter Morgan, 13, and his daughter Francesca, 16, by a previous relationship. How sweet.
Eastwood’s rugby football driven narrative of Invictus should be a huge hit in the UK, as rugby football originated from England. Go Clint!

Adam Lambert celebrated his 28th Birthday at the Mondrian Hotel, on Sunset Strip near The House of Blues, Saturday in LA. Happy B’Day B’Adam!
I don’t think Adam wanted this cake at all for his birthday. I think he really wanted KFC, which is why on Sunday he turned up at The Grammys looking like vintage Colonel Sanders dipped in sequins. Lambert is really a natural blonde.

Snooki of Jersey Shore, shot out these pics via Twitter, from her big night out at The Grammys last night. Of Miley Cyrus, Snooki says “She’s hot in person;” of Demi Moore -”she’s amazing;” of Katy Perry “tonight’s going to be a good night;” and of Mario Lopez-”Mario is my Spanish guido.”
Snooki is too cute. What a ride she’s having. May it long continue for her. It’s amazing what a punch to the face does on MTV! The pint sized star, did a great job mixing and mingling that MTV brand of entertainment across The Grammys biggest night of Music’s brightest known stars. She needs a pay rise. Go Snooki.

It has to be said that Ke$ha and Justin Bieber were the weirdest Grammys 2010 presenters pairing ever. I mean, I know they were both the two break-out stars of December last year, but to pair the Jack Daniels promotions girl in disguise as a pop star with this kid, was a little bit odd. Is the booze industry that keen on making more mullah appealing to kids this young? Sad!

Mad Men‘s Christina Hendricks presented at the Directors Guild Awards in Los Angeles over the weekend. Meaning, the mostly older male, white guild–really, really, really wanted Hendricks to present for them, at this years awards.
She’s a sport. Presenting at the DGA’s is the best casting call in Hollywood. The glasses give Christina a whole new look.

Hollywood today pulsates with electric color. Artificial neon distracting from the domesticity of the mundane. Seekers walk the streets searching for a piece of fame in pavements below. As angels patiently wait for people to look up, elevate their thinking and send out messages of Hope from this Great City to the world.
Believe me… the most patient Angels in the world live here. :)
