EVERYTHING you need to know about the Golden Globes
PUSSS...@aol.com
--HBO's reigning pre-Golden Globes party brought out the Hollywood
heavy hitters Saturday night. A merry Heath Ledger lip-synced to "Lady
Marmalade" standing next to Forest Whitaker standing next to Chris
Rock. The Olsen twins came early, Best Actress nominee Helen Mirren and
director hubby Taylor Hackford came late. ("Ask him what he's done
since 'Ray' - that's guaranteed to get you punched out," one pal of the
couple helpfully advised.) Ioan Gruffudd reckons he'll rival Jessica
Alba in the next "Fantastic Four." "It's a better role for me - more
challenging, and sexier," he told us of the '07 sequel. Looking craggy
with a swept-back mane - and very handsome for it - was Matthew Perry;
Chris Klein's new Graydon Carter hairline, not so much. "Mac guy"
Justin Long chugged Patron tumblers at the bar with some very un-PC
friends. Cuba Gooding Jr., Robbie Williams, Bret Ratner, Anna Paquin,
Jeremy Irons, Mark Wahlberg, Bill Paxton and Michael Keaton made the
place look like a "52 pickup" game of Hollywood trading cards. When we
congratulated Sacha Baron Cohen on his nomination around 1 a.m., he
replied: "Mazel tov! Now I'm going to bed."
--Call them the Golden Grabs. Independent "gifting suites" have
replaced lavish presenter goodie-bars at both the Globes and the
Oscars, but some celebs still don't know how to play by the rules.
Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend, Bar Rafaeli, left a roomful of
seething vendors in their wake when they stocked up on free swag, but
refused the standard product photo ops. "So they filled up with bags of
stuff and left the givers with nothing," tuts one witness. Other stars
couldn't wait to show off their swag. Vanessa Williams picked up bling
for tonight's red carpet from Ziamonds at the "Access Hollywood" gift
lounge, as well as a little something for under her gown. "She took a
Donna Karan 'slimmer,'" laughed a rep for the Bali Bra lingerie booth.
"It tightens you up under the dress - all the actresses wear them."
--Heidi Klum told me she didn't join her snowboarding husband, Seal, on
the slopes during the family's just-completed vacation in Aspen. "I
just had a baby [Johan] six weeks ago; I was pushing the stroller," she
joked. Seal is nominated for best original song tonight for his
contribution to "The Pursuit of Happyness." "He doesn't need me to wish
him luck," she said at the InStyle Luxury Suites. "We have 10 statues
at home lined up in a row. He has his Grammys, and we both have a Bambi
[German music award]. ... You put them together and they breed."
--Penelope Cruz is so hot the fire marshals shut down Jason Binn's L.A.
Confidential magazine party Saturday night at the W Westwood. Among the
disgruntled guests turned away at the door was "Heroes" telekinetic
killer Sylar (Zachary Quinto.) Better watch your back, Jason! This
year's Hollywood craze at the gifting suites: "The Saint-Tropez Diet
Book," promising French food as the secret to a slimmer you. (Funny, I
could have sworn that's how I got fat.) Down-to-earth Globe winner
Felicity Huffman was spotted minding the kids as hubby William H. Macy
pumped gas into their car at a Los Angeles Chevron station Saturday.

9 things to watch for at the Golden Globes
USA TODAY...
Tonight's Golden Globes (8 ET/PT, NBC) should be a lively mix of movie
stars, TV celebs and an open bar. But things happen fast. USA TODAY's
Scott Bowles offers some things to watch for at Hollywood's best party:
1) Whether Sacha Baron Cohen or Borat shows up Baron Cohen has begun
making publicity and award campaign appearances as himself, a
less-humorous, if understandable, choice. But if Baron Cohen wins for
best comedic actor, "I wouldn't be surprised if Borat comes back," says
Kris Tapley of awards website InContention.com. "That would liven
things up."
2) The Ugly duckling to become a swan. If she showed up in character,
Ugly Betty nominee America Ferrera might be turned away at the door.
But Ferrera is a real-life beauty who could be the Where's Waldo? star
of the show.
3) The Marty vs. Clint showdown This will be the first high-profile
battle for best-directing honors, one that should be renewed come Oscar
time. Martin Scorsese is up for The Departed, Clint Eastwood for Flags
of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima. The early money is on
Scorsese.
4) The Forest Whitaker express. The actor has been unstoppable in early
awards for his portrayal of Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland. But
he'll get competition from veteran Peter O'Toole, who is getting a late
push for his comedy Venus.
5) Battle of the repressed Brits. The fiercest race could be between
two emotionally stifled characters: Helen Mirren's stony Queen
Elizabeth II in The Queen and Judi Dench's sexually frustrated teacher
in Notes on a Scandal. Mirren has the early edge.
6) The omnipresent Meryl The Golden Globes are really the Meryl Streep
awards. She has been nominated 21 times, won five and will likely
steamroll again as best comedic actress for The Devil Wears Prada.
7) Dads to be embarrassing as ever. Nominee Jack Nicholson (The
Departed) will bring his 16-year-old daughter, Lorraine, who has the
honorary title of Miss Golden Globes. But if Nicholson and Cecil B.
DeMille winner (and party pal) Warren Beatty get rowdy early, look for
Lorraine to seek out dad's Departed co-star Leo DiCaprio as her escort
for the evening.
8) The bling. Only the Oscars bring out more sparkle, but the furor
over conflict stones after the film Blood Diamond will let you know
where the stars stand. The diamond industry is asking them to display
proudly their certified diamonds. Protest groups would prefer something
in a cubic zirconia.
9) Awkward moments. Several high-profile breakups should make for
premium gawking. Will presenter Cameron Diaz, just split from Justin
Timberlake, have a new man? Could Angelina Jolie bump into Jennifer
Aniston over cocktails? "You never know who will show, but they invite
everyone," says The Hollywood Reporter's Anne Thompson. "That's the
beauty of the show."

5 things to know about the Golden Globes
NY DAILY NEWS....
1. When the awards are given out at the Globes' 64th annual ceremony
Jan. 15, double nominees will reign. Leonardo DiCaprio is nominated for
Best Actor in a Drama for both "The Departed" and "Blood Diamond";
Clint Eastwood is up for Best Director for "Flags of Our Fathers" and
"Letters From Iwo Jima"; and, on the TV side, Helen Mirren competes
with herself for Best Performance by an Actress in a Miniseries or
Motion Picture Made for Television for HBO's "Elizabeth I" and PBS'
"Prime Suspect: The Final Act."
2. Meanwhile, there are two Japanese-born nominees: Rinko Kikuchi (Best
Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture,
"Babel") and Masi Oka (Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting
Role in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television,
"Heroes").
3. This year's "Miss Golden Globe" - the official awards presenter -
will be 16-year-old Lorraine Nicholson, the daughter of Jack Nicholson
and Rebecca Broussard. The offspring theme is a tradition: Previous
Miss Golden Globe honorees include Melanie Griffith (daughter of Tippi
Hedren) in 1975, Laura Dern (daughter of Diane Ladd and Bruce Dern) in
1982, Lily Costner (daughter of Kevin) in 2004 and Kathryn Eastwood
(daughter of Clint) in 2005.
4. This year's recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for "outstanding
contributions to the world of entertainment" will go to director-actor
Warren Beatty, a five-time Globe winner. Surely his pal Jack has warned
him away from Miss Golden Globe.
5. The awards are given out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association,
a group of some 90-plus international journalists who have a reputation
for being swayed by free gifts from studios. If you send them a coffee
mug, maybe next year you, too, could be nominated.

NY POST/PAGE SIX...
Guests of the Golden Globes after- party at the Beverly Hilton rooftop
will sip Cartier champagne and wear one-of-a-kind jewels from the
company's private collection.
* * *
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hollywood environmentalists are throwing the
first "green" Golden Globes awards bash for celebrities next week,
complete with organic food, recycled paper decorations and tables made
of reclaimed wood.
The Environmental Media Association (EMA) and entertainment network E!
will host the January 15 "Golden Green" party in Beverly Hills to mark
the annual movie and television awards ceremony.
Actresses Maggie Gyllenhaal, Eva Longoria, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rachel
Weisz and socialite Paris Hilton are among the celebrities scheduled to
attend the event in a former department store set to become an
eco-friendly apartment building.
"Green living has become a way of life for many of today's
celebrities," said Debbie Levin, EMA president. "We are proud to be the
first ones to step up and create a party that unites talent and social
responsibility."
The party will be set in a landscape of plants and flowers in a bid to
promote awareness of green issues, and the group TreePeople will plant
one tree for every attendee.
It is one of dozens of parties planned by movie studios and television
networks to celebrate the Golden Globe awards. The prizes are handed
out annually by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and seen as
indicators of likely Oscar winners next month.
The EMA, created in 1989, aims to tap the power of the entertainment
industry to educate people about environmental issues.

Warming up the Globe predictions part 1: Film
NY DAILY NEWS/JACK MATHEWS...
In film, do golden stars mean golden wins?
The annual Oscar dress rehearsal known as the Golden Globes will be
telecast live from Los Angeles' Beverly Hilton Hotel tomorrow night
(8-11 p.m., NBC). The question is, which of its illustrious cast
members will have speaking parts?
Not that all of the nominees won't have speeches prepared. But, if
they don't win, they don't get to deliver them, and this is a very
tough year to predict who'll wind up at the podium, victorious.
The surest thing seems to be a win for Helen Mirren as best actress in
a drama for her role of Elizabeth II in "The Queen." In every other
category, however, arguments can be made.
One thing that's certain is that any winners aren't guaranteed to
get Oscar nominations because of their Globe appearance. The deadline
for Academy Awards nominations was yesterday (that show will air Feb.
25).
Here's how the Globe races shape up:
Best actress, drama
The strongest field in years includes Penelope Cruz ("Volver"),
Kate Winslet ("Little Children"), Judi Dench ("Notes on a
Scandal") and Maggie Gyllenhaal ("SherryBaby"). Yet all needles
point to Mirren.
Best actor, drama
Leonardo DiCaprio's two nominations - for "Blood Diamond" and
"The Departed" - may cancel each other out, leaving sentimental
favorite Peter O'Toole ("Venus") to go against popular Will Smith
("The Pursuit of Happyness") and Forest Whitaker ("The Last King
of Scotland"). Whitaker's portrayal of late Ugandan dictator Idi
Amin is one of those rare performances that is so big and so powerful,
it overshadows everything else. He's my pick.
Best actress, musical or comedy
Meryl Streep's magnetic turn as the wicked witch of the fashion
kingdom in "The Devil Wears Prada" is really a supporting role, but
moved up into the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's convenient
"second" lead category; she'll probably win over Toni Collette
("Little Miss Sunshine"), Annette Bening ("Running With
Scissors"), Beyoncé Knowles ("Dreamgirls") and Renee Zellweger
("Miss Potter").
Best actor, musical or comedy
This is the first chance for us to hear "Borat's" Sacha Baron
Cohen speak as himself. But if he wins, will he? I'm guessing that
mystery was enough to get him more votes than Johnny Depp ("Pirates
of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest"), Aaron Eckhart ("Thank You
for Smoking"), Chiwetel Ejiofor ("Kinky Boots"), and Will Ferrell
("Stranger Than Fiction").
Best supporting actress
The best performance I saw - male or female - in any movie last
year was given by Mexican actress Adriana Barraza as an illegal alien
baby-sitter lost in the desert in "Babel." The other "Babel"
actress nominee, Japan's Rinko Kikuchi, also gave a heartbreaking
performance. Cate Blanchett was great in a "leading" role in
"Notes on a Scandal" and Emily Blunt stole whatever scenes were
left after Streep was done in "Prada." But the sure winner here is
"Dreamgirls' " Jennifer Hudson, this year's "Star Is Born"
story.
Best supporting actor
Ben Affleck ("Hollywoodland") is another lead actor in the wrong
category (and in the wrong profession, for my money) and the two
nominees from "The Departed" - Jack Nicholson and Mark Wahlberg
- are likely to cancel each other out. That leaves Brad Pitt, who's
extremely effective in "Babel," and likely winner Eddie Murphy, who
shows more acting chops than anyone ever thought he had, playing an
addicted rock singer in "Dreamgirls."
Best director
In a weird development, Clint Eastwood was nominated for both "Flags
of Our Fathers" and "Letters From Iwo Jima" while neither film
got a best picture nomination. So, he has to ask himself, "Do I feel
lucky?" Actually, I think his luck has run out this year, and Martin
Scorsese - against tough competition from Alejandro González
Iñárritu ("Babel") and Stephen Frears ("The Queen") - will
begin his march toward his first Oscar for "The Departed."
Best picture, drama
"Bobby" and "Little Children" are likely to be replaced on the
Oscar ballot by Globe musical/comedy nominees "Dreamgirls" and
"Little Miss Sunshine," suggesting what could be a photo finish
here among "Babel," "The Departed" and "The Queen." At the
Globes, since Mirren is going to win for playing the queen, and
Scorsese for directing "The Departed," I think the globetrotting
"Babel" will win.
Best picture, comedy or musical
The spectacle "Dreamgirls" and the crowd-pleasing "Little Miss
Sunshine" are the likely front-runners in this unusually strong
field, which also includes "Borat," "The Devil Wears Prada" and
"Thank You for Smoking." "Dreamgirls" is too big to be ignored.
In the other categories, I think Guillermo Arriaga will win best
screenplay for "Babel"; "Listen" (from "Dreamgirls") will
win as best original song; Hans Zimmer will win best original score for
"The Da Vinci Code"; "Pan's Labyrinth" will win best
foreign-language film, and "Happy Feet" will tap off with best
animated feature.

Warming up the Globe predictions part 2: TV
NY DAILY NEWS/DAVID BIANCULLI...
The Golden Globes, presenting their 64th annual awards in film and TV
tomorrow night, haven't always been on TV, and this year they're
moving to Mondays. Having been trounced by "Grey's Anatomy" last
year, the Globes moved from Sunday - before learning that
"Grey's" did the same.
No matter. What counts most about the Globes is that, even though
they've been on TV for several years now, the stars and producers who
take the stage to present or receive awards don't act like they're
on television. They act, and often sound, like they're at a private
party, looser and funnier and goofier than they often allow themselves
to be, with fashions to match.
Partly, it's because the Golden Globes precede the other awards
shows. Partly it's that the Globes, handed out by the Hollywood
Foreign Press Association, allow TV and movie stars to mingle in an
informal atmosphere with lots of unpredictable winners.
Mostly, though, it's the open bar.
At the Globes, a winner can be caught in the bathroom when her name is
announced (paging Christine Lahti), or so shocked by victory that she
offers to make out with everyone in the room (standing ovation for
Mary-Louise Parker). Winners have to weave paths around dinner tables
packed with familiar, smiling faces. Losers get to eat, drink and be
merry anyway.
Here are some thoughts and predictions about the TV half of the Golden
Globes this year.
Best series, drama
Logic suggests that "24" or "Grey's Anatomy," two hot shows
coming off strong seasons, should claim the prize. But logic has little
to do with the Golden Globes, whose voters like to be first in tapping
trends - so NBC's new "Heroes" may be the dark horse.
Best series, comedy or musical
First off, dumb category. Again, momentum suggests two truly worthy
contenders: "Ugly Betty" and "The Office." ("Entourage" was
great, too, but there's no way voters can resist both the freshman
appeal of "Betty" or the vastly improved cult-show sheen of "The
Office."
Best miniseries or movie
How do you choose among "Bleak House," "Broken Trail,"
"Elizabeth I," "Mrs. Harris" and "Prime Suspect: The Final
Act"? By going eenie, meenie, minie ... "Bleak House." The
reason? It's the Globes. Who expects reason?
Best actress, drama
Neither Evangeline Lilly of "Lost" nor Edie Falco of "The
Sopranos," I suspect, had enough showy scenes this year to rivet the
short attention spans of Globe viewers. Expect Ellen Pompeo of
"Grey's Anatomy" to take this one.
Best actor, drama
Michael C. Hall was great in "Dexter," Hugh Laurie was just as
indispensable to "House," and most Globes voters will agree that
Patrick Dempsey is McDreamy in "Grey's." Even so, Kiefer
Sutherland is on a well-deserved roll with "24" and ought to win.
Best actress, comedy or musical
If the "Desperate Housewives" nominees split votes again this year
(that's how Parker won for "Weeds"), the win should go to America
Ferrera for "Ugly Betty." It's a feel-good vote for a feel-good
show, and Ferrera is charming in the title role.
Best actor, comedy or musical
There's a ton of talent in this category - Alec Baldwin for "30
Rock," Zach Braff for "Scrubs," Steve Carell for "The
Office," Jason Lee for "My Name Is Earl" and Tony Shalhoub for
"Monk." Even so, I'd give it to Baldwin in a heartbeat - but
Globe voters may prefer Carell.
Best actress, miniseries or movie
Gillian Anderson was fabulous in "Bleak House," and Annette Bening
was lots of fun in "Mrs. Harris," but there's no way to deny
Helen Mirren a win this year. She's up for Best Actress in a Movie
Drama for "The Queen," and she's nominated for both "Elizabeth
I" and "Prime Suspect: The Final Act." She'll get a Globe here,
I suspect for "Suspect."
Best actor, miniseries or movie
Welcome to the year's most ridiculous Globes category (every year has
one). In the TV category for Best Actor in a Miniseries or Movie, there
are eight - count 'em, eight - nominees. About half deserve to be
here, including Robert Duvall for "Broken Trail," Bill Nighy for
"Gideon's Daughter," Matthew Perry for "The Ron Clark Story,"
Andre Braugher for "Thief" and Ben Kingsley for "Mrs. Harris."
Duvall and Nighy can be counted on to give the most irreverent
acceptance speeches, and Nighy can be counted on to tap the open bar
profusely before his category arrives - so I'd root for one of them
to win on that basis alone. But at the Golden Globes, there's no
telling. And that's its secret weapon.
That, and the free liquor.

NY POST/REED TUCKER
THOSE luxe-filled gift bags are banned from tonight's Golden Globes,
but just because the stars won't be walking away with sacks full of
first-class travel vouchers and next-generation Palm Pilots doesn't
mean they'll be leaving empty handed. Instead, they'll get the best
gift of all: cash.
More and more, famous faces are cutting deals with fashion and jewelry
houses to act as living billboards, often nabbing six figures to wear
certain goods on that flashbulb-filled walk down the red carpet.
Hey, even people who make $10 million a year have to feed their
families.
"There are money deals being done. I can promise you that, as sure as I
have a child that's 4 years old. I literally have gone into [talent
agency] CAA and written deals," says Kelly Cutrone of fashion p.r.
house People's Revolution.
Cutrone is one of the few willing to speak on the record about this
taboo topic. "It's dictating what you're seeing on the red carpet,
literally from head to toe. Companies are going to pay anywhere from
$50,000 to a million dollars. In the end, that's not a lot of money
[for what they get]. This is like Super Bowl advertising."
To the fashion-conscious, the red carpet eclipses any football game.
Millions tune in to ogle the clothes, and what a star wears causes
ripples that travel around the world. This is where, in part, trends
are made, and the stars' choice of attire can be worth millions to the
designers in sales, as well as free advertising when the photos are
reproduced in newspapers and magazines.
Unless your star shows up wearing a dead swan, just sit back and wait
for the cash registers to ring. Halle Berry helped put Ellie Saab on
the map in 2002, and Sharon Stone's choice of a simple Gap turtleneck
in 1996 created a run on the chain store. The shows are also a chance
for jewelry companies to put their highest-end items in front of
millions of consumers.
"It's typically jewelry companies more so than fashion designers [that
pay]," says stylist Robert Verdi, who works with Eva Longoria, among
others. "I think the jewelry houses have more discretionary income. And
the numbers are not modest. I've heard as much as a half of a million
for young, hot actresses to wear jewelry from a notable brand."

NY DAILY NEWS/BY CYNTHIA PARSONS McDANIEL
For New Yorkers, tomorrow evening's Golden Globes show ends when the

NY POST/DANICA LO
THE dress? That's the easy part - just zip up, double-tape down, and
go. But before slipping on that $10,000 gown and walking the red carpet
tonight, celebrities will have spent hours - if not days - polishing,
plucking and preening themselves to high-definition perfection. From
the top of their heads to the tips of their toenails, no square inch of
surface area goes untouched.
Legendary eyebrow guru Anastasia will be grooming the hairy arches of
Penelope Cruz and presenter Jennifer Garner with nothing but a sharp
pair of tweezers and products from her eponymous line of eyebrow
cosmetics.
"Jennifer Garner has a desirable medium arch, which is great for
creating a variety of looks for makeup - you can dress it up or dress
it down," Anastasia says. "For the Globes, I am going to apply the Eye
Lights Matte highlighter underneath the brows to define her arch.
Highlighter is also great to camouflage stray hairs in between
waxings."
The icing on the cake - color cosmetics - will be meticulously applied
by the world's top artists, who are flown in from all over the world
for this one night.
Contrary to the dark mood of fashion this season, the most famous faces
tonight will be opting for a glowing, natural look. It's all about
glossy lips and lush black lashes, says top celebrity makeup artists.
"Renée doesn't need a lot of distraction," says makeup artist
Kristofer Buckle, who will be working with best actress nominee Renée
Zellweger tonight. "Her gowns always have strong classic lines, and her
face has beautiful cheekbones and blue eyes, so I try to keep her
makeup neutral - with a pop. I'm sure she will wear lots of Guerlain
Maxi Lash mascara in black and her skin will be glow-y."
Another best actress nominee, Kate Winslet, will go a similar route.
She'll wear DiorShow mascara and powder, Rouge Dior Nude lipstick and
Dior Ultra Gloss Lick of Taffy lip gloss, says her makeup artist Pati
Dubroff, who will also decorate the face of Naomi Watts. "The look of
the Globes this year is fresh and pretty: gorgeous skin and natural,
glowing makeup."
Makeup artist Scott Andrew will be working with presenter Hilary Swank
to create the perfect Hollywood starlet glow - Andrew will be
exclusively using Guerlain products on Swank, including KissKiss lip
gloss.
"Hilary always looks great in a nude, or light neutral lip like
Guerlain's KissKiss Maxi Shine in Nude Shine," Andrew says - and
Terracotta Spray Bronzing Powder Mist.
