85th Academy Awards fashion
The biggest event of the year in Hollywood took place on Sunday night - The 85th Annual Academy Awards - and the stars primped and preened for their red carpet appearances.

There weren't any major fashion flubs (and admit it, that's one of the reasons you tuned in to watch!) but there were a few style missteps. For example, usually a "best" list regular, Halle Berry looked a little too space age in a black and silver heavily striped Versace gown.

Kristen Stewart also disappointed in a Remm Acra lace dress that didn't do much for her skin tone nor her figure.

Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes has a new show starting this week. Scandal stars Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope, a crisis management expert who handles top level executive scandals. Olivia is inspired by the real life work of Judy Smith, who is also involved in the show.

“I’m not playing Judy,” Washington said. “I’m definitely not playing Judy but I am playing a character who is inspired by Judy so there are very important distinctions between Olivia Pope and Judy Smith. For example, Judy Smith never had a complicated relationship with the president of the united states. So what make...

While "American Idol" only gets kinder and gentler as the years go by, "Project Runway" keeps finding new ways to make its contestants miserable. Case in point, this week's mission: MAKE NINA HAPPY. Could it be done? Nina's previously flashed something that resembled a smile, but I'm pretty sure it signified smug condescension, not joy.

The designers were both excited and horrified to learn that they had to design a day-to-evening look for Ms. Garcia. Excited because, well, she is kind of a big deal in the fashion world (or so this show tells me) and getting on the good side of the fashion...
