Knowing his penchant for all things sexual (and that is not a judgment kittens), Russell Brand probably thought he hit the mother-load when he attended the U.K. premiere of Despicable Me and the crotch-high character Minion from the film came to life to greet his man parts.

Russell is the voice of Dr. Nefario in the film that boasts an impressive cast (voices only of course as this is an animated movie) including Julie Andrews, Will Arnett, Jason Segel, and Kristen Wiig. They weren’t at the premiere but fellow voice costars Steve Carrell and Miranda Cosgrove were in attendance.

Last night the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards took place in Los Angeles honouring your favourite movies and television voted for by members of SAG.

I just love the gowns that these women wear and to me there were three that really stood out:  Christina Applegate, Holly Hunter and of course Helen Mirren.   I don’t know that the picture does justice to Helen’s dress because when she walked out on stage she was absolutely breathtaking.

Tons of stars on the red carpet:

• Steve Carrell
• Jon Hamm
• Colin Farrell
• Matthew Morrison
• Julie Louis-Dreyfus
• Sandra Bullock
• Mariah Carey
• Adam Lambert
• Jeff Bridges
• Sigourney Weaver

I doubt Jakey would show up to Jury duty like this but a girl can dream, right?

Jake Gyllenhaal was seen attending court in Los Angeles on Tuesday as part of the jury selection process for a misdemeanour battery trial.

TMZ is reporting that he was allowed to be questioned privately.  He returns to court today to see if he has been selected. 

Of stars who have escaped jury duty:  Madonna, Forrest Whitaker and Don Cheadle.  Not escaping their civil duty:  Steve Carrell who served on a jury for an employment dispute case in January.

Have you ever served on jury service/duty?

So when it comes to these award shows there are always tons of pictures to choose from.  Today is no different as there are almost 400 pictures!!  I never know how to group them so I thought today I will group them according to colour of the gowns as there seems to be certain categories for these awards.

My two favourite ladies in the black and white category have to be Penelope Cruz and Anne Hathaway.  Notice how Anne Hathaway has glammed it up big time (as she does) for these awards but didn’t for the premieres of Bride Wars.  Is it me or did Kate Hudson send her a memo to not outshine her.  Meow.

I know I probably forgot to name some of the people pictured here and/or got the spelling of their name wrong (tee hee)…please forgive

Rick Gervais is pictured with an Emmy that was actually from last year’s win.  He was not in attendance at the time and Steve Carrell kept it.  They did this little number where Ricky confronted him to get it back and Steve wouldn’t.  It was really funny and well done.
