Mo'Nique Let's Loose Back Stage at The Oscars

Mo'Nique is truly a character. Most of you likely didn't stick around for the post-award show interviews of the winners, thus missing this thoroughly entertaining interview of Mo'Nique. She quickly returned to her normal, brash, comedic self. Check it out:

Barbara Walters Final Oscar Night Special - Mo'Nique and Sandra Bullock

For those of you who didn't catch Barbara Walters' final Oscar night show, the following are two of the most candidly revealing and hilarious interviews of the special. Mo'Nique discusses her "open" marriage and sexual abuse... Sandra discusses "beating the shit" out of Meryl Streep. In my opinion, they are a MUST SEE!!! Enjoy!

2010 Oscars' Best Dressed

This year, just about everyone seemed to get it right. However, the following are a few notable mentions, starting with the best of the best.

Jennifer Lopez - Armani Privé

Only J.Lo could pull off such an architectural runway masterpiece. She looks drop dead gorgeous in this pale pink luminescent gown and she knows how to strike a pose... VOGUE!!!

Tom Ford

Mr. Ford wearing his own creation is tailored to the T. Complete with a pocket square and gardenia on his lapel. Now this is a well dressed man.

Demi Moore and Elizabeth Banks look fantastic in these similar styled, ruffled creations by Versace...

Cameron Diaz - Oscar De La Renta

Ms. Diaz finally got it right. For once she doesn't come off as a bleached blonde, babbling airhead. She looks like a polished, sophisticated starlet. Now if she could only land a role to match the look.

Vera Farmiga - Marchesa

Say what you will about the ornate flamenco like ruffles of this Marchesa gown, but I think Vera was absolutely stunning in this number. You had to see it live during the red carpet preshow to get the full effect of this dress. Normally it would be hard to pull this off unless you are a statuesque runway model, but Ms. Farmiga did one helluva job. Kudos for making a bold choice!!!

Those who almost had it right...

Molly Ringwald

Bravo Molly!!! No one has seen you since you blew out 16 Candles but you showed up and showed out in this violet gown. While she looks stunning for someone who has been absent from the scene for quite some time, my only critique is... get some sunlight. It's as if this is the first time she's stepped outdoors since the 80's. She looks like Casper the Friendly Ghost.

Queen Latifah - Badgley Mischka

The Queen always wears flattering gowns that compliment her figure. The color of this dress looks fantastic against her skin tone. Where did she go wrong? The bottom half of this dress seems a bit too stuffy. I'm no fashion designer but perhaps a more tailored front with a fishtail would've worked, rather than this mermaid style. If it were black she would've reminded me of Ursula (Little Mermaid).

Sandra Bullock - Marchesa

The top of this dress is gorgeous. The detailed beadwork, down to the capped shoulder is exquisite. However this dress is just too damn gold. She looks exactly like good ol' Oscar himself. Additionally the fabric of the bottom half of the dress looks a bit tawdry. She was almost there... perhaps a different color?

Zoe Saldana - Givenchy

I really wanted to root for this gown because Zoe is such a beautiful girl. Once again the top of this dress was stunning. The crystal and bead encrusted bodice along with the differing hues were lovely, but I just can't help but to think of those ugly cabbage like flowers when I look at the bottom of this dress. She still managed to work it nonetheless.

Agree? Disagree? Who were your picks?

2010 Oscars' Worst Dressed

I hate to admit it, but I was hard pressed to compile a list of the worst dressed. The vast majority fell on the line of safety. There weren't any major fashion disasters which gives me less to write about, but of course I managed to write a citation or two for a few.

Maggie Gyllenhaal

It was certainly an audacious choice for Ms. Gyllenhaal, but she fell flat (no pun intended). First of all the pattern looks like an evening in a jungle. Furthermore, the dress does nothing for her non-existent shape. Get it together Maggie, your brother looked better than you on the carpet. In addition, in the future, do everything necessary to appear youthful because that face says 50.










Miley and Trish Cyrus

Oh dear!!! This looks like a scene from Freaky Friday. Miley looks nearly as old as her mother and Trish is fighting hard to recapture the youth of her daughter. Who shall we start with?

Okay Miley... For once it would be nice to see her in something age appropriate for a 17 year old girl rather than that of a woman 20 years her senior. Both the dress and the hair are just way too old for her. Miley boo, if you are going to try to pull a dress like that off, at least fix your damn posture so you don't resemble Quasimodo. She doesn't even appear comfortable in the dress.

Trish... what can I say? You look like a discontinued, bleached-blonde, sun dried, Malibu Barbie. With that said... the dress couldn't be any uglier if she tried.

Charlize Theron - Christian Dior

Oh Charlize, what were you thinking? This dress would've been fantastic if it weren't for the deflated look of her bosom. You can't help but stare at her chest and not in a good way. The top of this dress is reminiscent of Madonna's coned shaped bustiers/bras circa 1980's.

Last but far from least...

Gabourey Sidibe - Marchesa

Marchesa certainly deserves an award for trying their best to construct a gown for Gabourey. Everyone in the media seems to be skipping around the mulberry bush when it comes to Miss Sidibe. However, I will say what they won't... This is one BIG bitch. GOD DAMNNNN!!! Why are they all afraid to say it?

This dress is terrible. Between the dress and the wig, she looks like a fat, black Scarlet O'Hara from Gone With The Wind... or more like Mammie.

Not even Marchesa could successfully glamorize this girl. While it was nice that they added a capped sleeve, a woman of this monstruously obese size needs a full sleeve. She looks like a smiling GORILLA. At the very least she could've attempted to lose weight before the awards. I know her shoes had to have a 3-inch wide heel with some Nike Shox technology in them.

On the red carpet, Gabourey said, "If fashion was porn, this dress is the money shot." More like the WIDE -SHOT Gabby... this dress certainly spans further than the average "money shot."

Wondering what it took to make this dress? Take a look at the following photos to get an idea.

A few bolts of material, several large spools of thread and a team of sweatshop workers.

P.S. Gabby, please stop wearing those cheap, shiny ass wigs. Buy a damn "lace-front."
