This weekend also saw the 2011 BAFTA Awards being handed out in London, England where the red carpet was a sea of bright colours and your staple black.

Thandie Newton’s dress is so beautiful and feminine and pink! I’m not a huge fan of the colour pink but it really is quite lovely. Colin Firth’s wife looks stunning in her blue satin gown. The colour is so deep and rich.

Gerard Butler went curly on the red carpet. His hair is getting long and looks like he just got out of bed. After a good romp. Did I mention Happy Valentine’s Day?

Gemma Arterton wore basic black but wrapped herself up in a bow in the colour blue.

When some of the gowns are quite lovely I try to include shots from different angles so don’t think I’ve completely gone and lost my mind. Yet. Enjoy the photos.

Kelly Preston made the Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of Casino Jack her final promotional spot before she gives birth to her baby due late fall. She tells People of her pregnancy:

“It’s been very easy and so wonderful,” “I’ve had no morning sickness and [the pregnancy] has gone by so quickly. I feel terrific.”

“John and I are completely ready. My daughter [Ella Bleu, 10] is very excited too,” she says. “I can’t wait for the day to come.“

She was also really happy to get back to work.  This was her first movie since the very untimely death of her and John Travolta’s son Jett:

“I’m thrilled to have been in this film, and I loved every minute of it,” says Preston. “I love this film because I hadn’t been in a movie in over a year, so it was nice to be back.

She looks wonderful doesn’t she? So happy for her and her family.

I can’t decide who is hotter:  Jesse L. Martin or Josh Lucas? Both are very hot in their own sexy way.  I love Jesse’s smile.  It’s warm and gorgeous.  Josh has that look that is smouldering sexy, right?

And it’s difficult to believe Al Pacino is 70 years old! He is still working up a storm with several projects in development and in production.
