The TV series 'Smash' is quickly gaining a lot of buzz as the series takes a look at the behind-the-scenes drama of a Broadway musical on the life of Marilyn Monroe. The show stars Debra Messing, Jack Davenport,  Katharine McPhee and Megan Hilty.

Debra Messing, Katharine McPhee, Megan Hilty and Uma Thurman were on the streets of New York yesterday filming scenes for the show. Although the pilot had an early airing (January 26), it doesn`t officially start until Monday, February 6.

Katherine McPhee ditches the blonde and goes back to her brunette hair colour.  I really prefer her brunette.  I think it goes with her pretty face much more than the blonde.

She joins David Arqutte, Tori Spelling, Dean McDermott and their kids at the Pepsi sponsored ‘Ideas and Grants‘ which I believe is part of the Refresh Project.

I’m not being catty at all when I say this, but Tori needs a meal.  The bones protruding from her chest look terrible.  I don’t like to judge a woman by her body especially if there is a health issue or that is how their genetic make up is, but with Tori we have seen her with a little more meat on her bones (not fat AT ALL, just with more weight).

I’m not suggesting there is anything ‘wrong‘ with her or that she has a problem, because I am the last person who would have knowledge of this, but I just hope she is healthy.  That’s all I’m saying.

Natalie Portman and costar, Tobey Maguire are at the New York premiere of their movie Brothers where:

A young man comforts his older brother’s wife and children after he goes missing in Afghanistan. Based on Susanne Bier’s film, “Brothers”

Jake Gyllenhaal also stars in the movie but wasn’t at the premiere.  Boo.   The movie looks good, but potentially a major tear jerker.

During her promotional tour, Natalie explained her reason for agreeing to star in Thor:

I just thought it sounded like a weird idea because Kenneth Branagh’s directing it, so I was just like, “Kenneth Branagh doing Thor is super-weird. I’ve gotta do it.”

At the premiere:

• Agyness Deyn
• The Edge
• Amanda Peet
• Emma Roberts
• Terrence Howard
• Katherine McPhee
• Justin Guarini
• Kelly Rutherford
• Charlie Bewley

Last night Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards were held in New York and Rihanna took home top honours:  Woman of the Year.  Iman presented the award to her by saying how inspired she was by the young singer:

“Now I am even more impressed with her dignity and courage,”

Rihanna:

“It means a lot, because I’m a woman and I represent a lot of things for women, and part of that is being strong and being confident and being comfortable with who you are. And, all the women on the list this year happen to have all those qualities, so it’s an honour to be the Woman of the Year amongst all those great women.”

She also talked about what her interview with Diane Sawyer did for her:

“it was like a weight lifted off my chest and now I don’t have to talk about it anymore. I can talk about my music, things that I love”

Other winners of last night’s awards included:

• Stella McCartney
• Serena Williams
• Dr. Maya Angelou
• Dr. Jane Aronson
• Laura Ling and Euna Lee
• Marissa Mayer
