Jennifer Connelly, Lauren Bacall, Kate Bosworth, Amy Adams, Julie Taymor, Diane Lane and Scarlett Johansson
Elle magazine held a publicity stunt, er… I mean, celebrated the women in Hollywood… with its aptly titled “Women in Hollywood” event in Beverly Hills yesterday.
Honorees included:
–Jennifer Connelly for graduating “from child actor to leading lady, without rehab or going commando.” (Not that there’s anything WRONG with going commando, mind you, so long as you keep that detail to yourself. That means you, too, Mom.)
–Diane Lane for being “an alluring forty-something whose stunning turn as an adulteress soccer mom reaffirms why reinvention is the best revenge.” (Really? I prefer to exact my revenge with prank calls and toilet-papered lawns. But to each her own…)
–Amy Adams for being the “most promising breakout.” (Translation: TBD.)
–Julie Taymor for becoming “the wildly nimble filmmaker the director of our generation.” (Wildly nimble, huh? Congrats to her hubby.)
–Lauren Bacall for crafting “the kind of characters women want to emulate and actresses only dream about playing.” (Translation: We’re a little scared of this woman.)
And, of course…
–Kate Bosworth because “…in a town that worships lanky young blonds, [she] could have had it easy. Instead, she dodged the expected and chose to rely on her intensity and range, proving this bombshell is built to last.” (You said it, Elle. Nothing says “range” like putting on a wet suit in Blue Crush or tackling hard-hitting roles like Win a Date with Tad Hamilton. Built to last, indeed!)

in that header pic Julie Taymor looks like she’s going to just spit on everyone (and her head looks much smaller than everyone else’s - like one of those dried apple heads…)
LOVED Titus though…

Is just me or is anyone else kind of tired of Hollywood (the industry and people)giving themselves all these awards and ‘pats on the back’? Truly a town of the superficial. Gawd.

Jenn, no (heavy sigh) it’s not just you. It’s like watching two people say, “You rock!” “No, YOU Rock!” all day.
