It was time to celebrate SNL's 100th digital shot this past weekend that saw Will Farrell as host and Usher as the musical guest.

The celebration saw Justin Bieber get in on the action and the return of none other than Justin Timberlake, Natalie Portman, Jon Hamm, Michael Bolton and some Usher. The theme? Self-gratification, of course.

The brains behind the hilarious digital shorts are Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone.  Schaffer was unavailable but Bieber stepped in to do the honors.

It was date night for Gwen Stefani and hubby Gavin Rossdale as they made their way onto the red carpet at the Heart Foundation Gala held at the Hollywood Palladium in L.A. on Thursday, May 10.  Gavin was his dapper self in a black two-piece silk suit as he escorted wife Gwen who was the epitome of beauty and elegance in a Georges Chakra Fall 2010 Couture dress that featured a one-shoulder asymmetrical bodice with sequin embellished bands.  Gwen completed her look with black satin Louboutin pumps, pink clutch and her signature red lips.  This old Hollywood look is fabulous on Gwen.  I hope she wears more of it.  What do you think?

Another couple hitting the red carpet also on May 10 were newlyweds Natalie Portman and hubby Benjamin Millepied.  The lovebirds attended the New York City Ballet's 2012 Spring Gala at the David H. Koch Theatre, Lincoln Centre in NYC to celebrate Benjamin's new dance company.  Always a red carpet winner, Thursday night was no different as Natalie was stunning in a dark blue Christian Dior silk chiffon tiered gown with black ribbon detailing around the waist and neckline.  Natalie completed her look with Dior Fine Jewelry earrings and a black Dior clutch.  Natalie is one of those celebs who you always look forward to seeing on the red carpet.  Her look is so refined and elegant and is reminiscent to that of Audrey Hepburn.  

Having just celebrated her first wedding anniversary, Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge was glowing in a show-stopping long-sleeved cream Roland Mouret dress when she and hubby William were guests at a dinner hosted by the Thirty Club in Claridge's Hotel, Mayfair, London on Monday, May 7.  The dress features a dramatic front side split which showed off her strappy silver snake-skin Jimmy Choo heels.  The Duchess completed her look with a matching silver sequin clutch and a stunning pair of vintage style Eva diamond earrings from London-based Beaut.  The colour of the dress is beautiful on the Duchess as it compliments her lustrous chestnut tresses.  The dress and the shoes are quite a departure from what we're used to seeing the Duchess wearing and a very nice one, I might add. 

Attending the 2012 Operation Smile Gala at Cipriani Wall Street in NYC was Ivanka Trump who was stunning as she strikes a pose on the red carpet in a blue sapphire Salvatore Ferragamo jewelled silk sable gown from the designer's Women's Resort 2012 Collection.  The model turned businesswoman and new mother was among the many A-listers, including other Trump family members, who attended the non-profit organization's yearly event that provides free reconstructive surgery for children around the world born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate. 

All eyes were on Michelle Pfeiffer who attended the Hollywood premiere of her latest film, Dark Shadows this past week at Grauman's Chinese Theatre.  The gorgeous actress wore a crinkled, burnished gold silk‑lamé Lanvin sheath accessorized with Sergio Rossi platform pumps, gold Bottega Veneta clutch and an antique-style Rona Pfeiffer necklace, which she wore in the movie.  This is a stunning colour on Michelle and looks like liquid gold was poured over her to match her skin tone.  On that note, I think it should be named Pfeiffer Gold.  What do you think?  Michelle plays family matriarch, Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, in the film which opened this week in theatres.  

Also attending the Hollywood premiere of Dark Shadows is Michelle Pfeiffer's co-star and former Bond Girl, Eva Green who casts a stunning silhouette of her own at the premiere.  The 31-year-old French-born beauty, who plays Angelique Bouchard in the film, slipped into this deep platinum number by the Tom Ford Fall 2011 Collection.  The all-lace dress features a high-neck and long sleeves and is embellished with jewel accents from head to toe.  The overall look is alluring, as are Eva's eyes.  Although Johnny Depp may have the leading role in the film, it appears that Michelle Pfeiffer and Eva Green stole the show on the red carpet.  

Her series may be over, but that didn't stop Eva Longoria from looking her best at a taping of The Late Show with David Letterman on May 9, 2012.  The actress is still smiling and looking beautiful as ever as she donned a black Victoria Beckham Spring 2012 dress that features dove gray back straps styled with a pair of pink metallic killer Brian Atwood platform stilettos with black and gold accents.  The shoes speak for themselves – naughty, but nice.  The series finale of Desperate Housewives can be seen tomorrow, Sunday, May 13.  But no worries here for Eva, as I'm sure her next television and/or movie role is right around the corner!

And completing this week's Fabulous Fashionistas on a sweet note is Modern Family star Julie Bowen who attended the P.L. Arts Evening of Modernism event in Santa Monica on May 4, 2012.  The actress looked lovely in a delicious chocolate brown strapless dress, pleated throughout, completing her look with David Yurman jewels, metallic clutch and pumps.  Yummy!  Don't you just want to crack open a box of chocolates?

That's it for another week kittens.  Hope you enjoyed my picks.  Have a wonderful Mother's Day tomorrow and until next time, love, peace and happiness!

Natalie Portman 83rd Annual Academy Awards

Not sure why it was such a secret to begin with, but Natalie Portman and her fiancé Benjamin Millepied have finally let the cat out of the bag.  They named their son, Aleph.  That’s the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet.  It means “the oneness of God.”

Natalie Portman Gives Birth to a Baby Boy!

They didn’t plan to share it when they did either!  They accidentally let his name slip during an interview with Israeli TV show Good Evening With Guy Pines.

What do you think?  Love it or hate it?

Natalie Portman 30, gave birth to her first child, a boy with fiance (and Black Swan choreographer) Benjamin Millepied People is reporting exclusively. She and Millepied became engaged before she won an Oscar and now she has the best prize of them all: a bouncing baby boy.

Congratulations to the first-time parents.

Okay.  So there isn’t a badge involved here.  But I find it adorable that Natalie Portman’s pregnancy cravings took over her mind and body to the point she had to give up her vegan ways.  I completely understand, it’s just funny.  She’s remaining a vegetarian though, so it’s not like she went out and ordered a slab of prime rib or anything.

Black Swan: The Scandal

“I actually went back to being vegetarian when I became pregnant, just because I felt like I wanted that stuff,” she said on the Q100 Bert Show in Atlanta. “I was listening to my body to have eggs and dairy and that sort of stuff.  I know there are people who do stay vegan,” she added, “but I think you have to just be careful, watch your iron levels and your B12 levels and supplement those if there are things you might be low in in your diet.  If you’re not eating eggs, then you can’t have cookies or cake from regular bakeries, which can become a problem when that’s all you want to eat,” she laughed. “I actually wanted eggs at the beginning and then they grossed me out after awhile.”

Wondering is she’s having a boy or girl?  Well, you’re going to have to keep wondering,

“People can say a lot of things and they have a 50 percent chance of being right,” she laughed. “I’m Jewish and I think in Judaism, there’s a lot of superstition around not doing too much before the baby comes.”

I love to be organized and decorate things too much.  I could never wait!  But more power to her for being patient!  Not my strong suit at all!

Sarah Lane, a soloist with the American Ballet Theatre seems to be a bit of a bitter box.  In fact, she’s been bad mouthing Natalie Portman and her Oscar winning role in Black Swan.  Lane was a body double for a few of the more complicated sequences in the film, but she has been trying to say she did 95% of it.

Natalie Portman: ‘I Will Not Be Associated With Mr. Galliano In Any Way’

Fox Searchlight of course is defending Portman and all of the hard work she put into this film,

“We were fortunate to have Sarah there to cover the more complicated dance sequences and we have nothing but praise for the hard work she did,” the studio said. “However, Natalie herself did most of the dancing featured in the final film.”

I don’t understand why Lane would agree to work on the film at all if she was going to trash it after it was all said and done.  What’s the problem here?  Did she think she deserved the Oscar?  Poor Natalie.  She was incredible and Sarah Lane CAN’T take that away from her.

Natalie Portman, the face of Dior’s ‘Miss Cherie’ fragrance (who suspended John Galliano), is disgusted by the anti-Semitic remarks John Galliano spoke in a video that is being leaked around the web. She issued this statement:

‘I am deeply shocked and disgusted by the video of John Galliano’s comments that surfaced today.

‘In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way.

‘I hope at the very least, these terrible comments remind us to reflect and act upon combating these still-existing prejudices that are the opposite of all that is beautiful.’

The video she refers to is the one where Galliano is caught on tape telling two girls:

‘People like you ought to be dead, your mothers, your forefathers would all be f*****g gassed. I love Hitler.’

The man who shot the video was so shocked to hear what was coming out of his mouth he knew he had to get it on tape. It’s beyond disgusting and shocking that someone could be filled with such hatred.

The video can be viewed here. Galliano has denied all charges against him.

Let there be fabulous Oscar fashion … and so there was at last night’s 83rd Academy Awards in Los Angeles!!!

I’m not sure what the world waits for most – who receives an Oscar or who wore what?   But, if there’s one event where everyone wants to look great, it’s Oscar night and the stars proved it again.   So sit back, break out the bubbly (depending on your time zone) and let’s get this party started as the biggest stars sashay down the world’s most glamorous red carpet!

Firstly, I couldn’t help but notice a lesser amount of jewellery this year, which I found to be refreshing.   Don’t get me wrong.  A girl can never have enough bling-bling. However, the bauble trend was mostly earrings or a bauble here and a bauble there.

Two trends this year picked up on my fashion radar:  red and nude/blush.  Anne Hathaway definitely stands out on the red carpet in a red low-bustled, strapless Valentino Haute Couture gown.  And while  Sandra Bullock was a winner last year, she’s a winner again this year as one of the most elegant women of the night (are we surprised?) dazzling in her Vera Wang strapless red gown.

If great Oscar fashion is the culmination of many years of experience, then this ingenue has nailed it in one night.  Looking like she just stepped out of a fairy tale, princess-in-waiting  Hailee Steinfeld wowed us with her  blushed, tea-length Marchesa gown.   So age-appropriate for her and yet so elegant .   Another Marchesa and Oscar favourite, Halle Berry was stunning as always in a nude crystal-encrusted, ruffled gown.  Does she ever get it wrong?  (Maybe slightly last night, as the only accessory she was missing  … Olivier Martinez. )  It was also nice to see Mandy Moore striking a pose on the red carpet, also in a nude crystal-encrusted, Marchesa gown with train.  I believe this is the first time I’ve seen her at the Oscars, yet she looked like a seasoned pro.

And can you believe Celine Dion just gave birth to twins?  Girl, you have made Giorgio Armani proud in a creme-de-la-creme body hugging gown that most supermodels would run in fear from.  Isn’t black supposed to be slimming?  I mean, really!  How does she do it?   And Penelope Cruz, ditto to you girl!  Your red siren L’Wren Scott gown with flaming sequins sizzled all the way up the red carpet.  By the way, hubby Javier Bardem was looking most delicioso by your side.  (I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again.  I could listen to this guy talk Spanish to his cat all night.)

Let’s not forget the ladies of Black Swan, but black they definitely were not!  Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis danced into our hearts in shades of violet and lavendar.  Natalie draped her mommy-belly in a flowing, effortless violet Rodarte gown with Swarovski crystal beading  (I predict a little fashionista!), while Mila Kunis  dares us in a low-cut Elie Saab lavendar lace haute couture.

If there was ever a moment last night when it felt like the parting of the red sea – oops, I mean red carpet – it had to be when Nicole Kidman arrived in the most stunning Dior haute couture gown I have ever seen!  It was almost like announcing the Queen was in residence.  And that, my friends, she was.   Speaking of royalty, Dame Helen Mirren proves that sleeves are timeless in an elegant, yet fashionable, charcoal grey Vivienne Westwood number.  If she’s invited to the Royal Wedding this spring, I predict she’ll be the best dressed.

Understated elegance included Reese Witherspoon in Giorgio Armani  Prive with $1 million worth of Neil Lane baubles, which I couldn’t see.  But like I said, understated elegance.   Let’s not forget the women behind the men, as Melania Trump gives new meaning to the black dress.

All in all, it was a great night of fashion.  So … drum roll please!  For outstanding best dressed red carpet fashion, the nominees are:   Sandra Bullock, Hailee Steinfeld, Hallee Berry, Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon.  And the Oscar goes to … Nicole Kidman!

So what did you think of Oscar fashion?  Do you like our choices?  Did we miss anyone?  Let us know!

Lots of pictures after the break
