From Denny: Check out what some of your funniest celebrities are wearing this Halloween! Supermodel Heidi Klum should be crowned Queen of Halloween for her daring costumes that raise the threshold of the outrageous. (Though Martha Stewart is right up there, reigning supreme. Check out her latest Halloween look.)
Halloween is one of her favorite holidays to indulge in some campy fun. This year she was wheeled out on a gurney to the Halloween party - as a dead body. She even sports two Halloween costumes this year.
From Denny: Funny actor Tom Hanks stopped in at the Spanish news network, Univision, to do more than Show 'N' Tell for his new movie. He and the weather newscaster danced their way through the weather cast. Total silliness and funny. The man loves his improv.
New movie "Larry Crowne" starts in theaters this weekend and features Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks. Check out the movie trailer below.
From Denny: Oscar night is coming! Check out the truly best Oscar gowns seen on the red carpet over the years. Stunning stuff from some of Hollywood's most glamorous actresses. And learn a little Hollywood trivia while you are at it.

Sandra Bullock, 2010
Check out this awesome gold columned gown inspired by the gold column of the Oscar statue for which she won Best Actress. Bullock portrayed real-life mom Leigh Anne Tuohy in "The Blind Side." Adored with metallic floral embroidery - which is difficult to work with - and some beautiful vintage beading as well, this was designed by Marchesa.
From Denny: What a glamorous event! And what a feast for the eyes were all those gorgeous dresses paraded all over the stage. Even the presenters looked awesome.
Check Out The Winners For Each Category
Claire Danes won Best Actress in a Series, Miniseries, or Motion Picture Made for Television for her role in HBO’s Temple Grandin. Danes said she expressed a bit of the child in her with her dress pick. "It was the 6-year-old in me,” she said of why she chose a hot pink Calvin Klein collection gown. “Sometimes a girl just wants to wear pink.” This is Danes’ second Globe award. Previously she won for My So Called Life at age 15.
Chris Colfer won the Best Supporting Actor in a Series award for his role as Kurt Hummel on Glee. He said he knew the exact song to describe his winning moment: "'I'm So Excited' by the Pointer Sisters!" What a sense of humor.
Christian Bale
"It was a great surprise to win but I also had no idea that it was the first award of the night, so I really was shocked!" He wore a Dolce & Gabbana suit. Bale won the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in The Fighter.
Amber Riley and Jenna Ushkowitz
Glee’s Amber Riley (gown by Oliver Tolentino) and Jenna Ushkowitz (gown by Rebecca Taylor) joked around that they had a fashion feud backstage after their show’s win for Best Series. "We can't get too close,” Riley said. “We aren't feuding of anything, it's just that I'm wearing sequins and she's wearing that netting. If we got too close it could get nasty.”
Naya Rivera and Dianna Agron
Glee stars Naya Rivera (gown by Douglas Hannant) and Dianna Agron (beige silk chiffon gown by J. Mendel) celebrated their show’s Best Series award. Agron said she was unprepared to hear the show’s name called as the winner. “My dress was getting tangled in my shoes and I was thinking, 'It's ok, we're not going to win,' I was about to take my shoes off! But to win again was amazing."
The Glee Cast
The Glee cast were deliriously happy pack when the show took the number one spot in the Best Television Series for Comedy or Musical category. Jayma Mays (gown by Alberta Ferretti), Cory Monteith (by Giorgio Armani) and Heather Morris (gown by Lorena Sarbu) clutched their shiny new Golden Globes and grinned silly backstage..
Colin Firth
When asked about his reaction to winning the Best Actor in a Motion Picture for his role in The King's Speech he said, "I honestly think I blacked out. I do remember kissing my wife, which will make for a pretty nice memory."
Paul Giamatti won Best Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical winner for his role in Barney’s Version and commented he could have used a seat at The Social Network table. "Honestly, I don't even know what Facebook looks like or how any of that works," when we asked what his Facebook status would be after his winning moment. "I won. I'm going to In 'N Out."
Melissa Leo
"I just remember everything went silent," said Melissa Leo (gown by Marc Bouwer). She remembered the exact moment her name was called as Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Fighter. "Though I'm really proud of the work I did, having heard the names of the other women nominated I really didn't think they were going to call my name. So I was just sitting there and then I thought, 'Oh, this is a television show and I should probably stand up and get moving!'"
Jim Parsons
His winning moment for Best Actor in a Television Series, Comedy or Musical was sweetened when he was handed the award by one of his Big Bang Theory co-stars, Kaley Cuoco. "Winning and then walking towards the stage knowing she was up there waiting to present the award to me... I just told her that for the rest of my career I'll never have another moment like that. It means so much that the whole cast is here to share this."
Katey Sagal
As Katey Sagal (gown by Douglas Hannant) accepted her Best Actress in a Drama award for her role in Sons of Anarchy. She remarked how she found herself saying hi to some of the people in the room. It was so unexpected. "As I was walking to the stage I saw Johnny Depp. We were both on the Fox network about 20 years ago. As I walked by, I yelled out 'Hi Johnny!' and gave him a little wave. He probably has no idea who I am."
The dresses are what the audience wants to see as much as the actors and the awards, sometimes more: "What were they wearing?" is the usual buzz for an event like this. The 2011 Spring fashion was all about bold colors like melon, red, sapphire blue, three shades of emerald green and many shades of pink from blush to honeysuckle to fuchsia. Here's a rundown of dress descriptions:
Scarlett Johansson: a beautiful beaded pale peach chiffon gown by Elie Saab
Natalie Portman: baby bump enjoyed a satin gown by Viktor + Rolf
Heidi Klum: wild fun colors of pink, cream and copper mashup gown by Marc Jacobs
January Jones: wore a stunning crimson gown by Versace
Kyra Sedgwick: flashed a flowing marigold gown by Emilio Pucci

From Denny: It's Cheeky Quote Day over at The Social Poetsand today I'm featuring another early American entertainer who was a big hit during the dreary Depression years: actress Mae West.
The woman was known for being a bit saucy and downright risque for her time period. She was a child actress in Vaudeville who grew up to write her own comedic material and star in many a Hollywood movie during the 1930's.
To read more about her and enjoy many more rib-tickling quotes from her and a couple of short videos from her movies, go check out Cheeky Quote Day, here.
3 Quotes From Mae West
* I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it.
* Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.
* Don't keep a man guessing too long - he's sure to find the answer somewhere else.
