*If you would like to see the list of 2008 Oscar nominations, CLICK HERE* I will be live-blogging through the whole ceremony and will post the winners later this evening, as they are announced. Enjoy the commentary and pictures! TIP: refresh your page frequently! I will continue to add pictures every thirty minutes or so! Enjoy the 80th annual Academy Awards!*

3:20pm:     Okay, I’m starting my live-blogging of the 2008 Oscars right now. I don’t want to start this early but it’s either this or reading about the Cold War and, well, we all know watching stuck-up famous people give each other fake hugs and dirty looks is wayy better than reading about any war. Heidi Klum and Seal were just interviewed by Ryan Seacrest and Heidi Klum is annoying. Anytime people ask her if she’s looking forward to seeing anyone famous she’s says no. Girlfriend thinks she’s too famous to get star-struck or something.

3:30pm:     I’m watching the pre-Academy Awards red carpet thing on the E! channel with Ryan Seacrest, Guiliana Rancic, and Kimora Lee Simmons. I found it totally hilarious when George Clooney (with girlfriend Sarah Larson) totally shot down every possible joke or conversation piece from Ryan Seacrest. I actually found him to be a little rude, which I definitely wasn’t expecting. Jason Bateman was funny when he insinuated that George Clooney wears a wig. I bet George heard him say that and was pissed! No one calls George out… no one! (Well, except Fabio, huh?) I’m totally already getting tired of watching this and the awards haven’t even started yet! To make it worse, I definitely don’t think Jon Stewart is neither cute or funny… so it’s going to be rough!

3:56pm:     Ryan is interviewing Saoirse Ronan of Atonement and I’m loving her cute little accent and her emerald green dress. I just learned from the text band at the bottom of the television screen that Kristen Chenoweth will be singing (eh, performing) a song tonight. And if you saw her on Leno then you know she’s the adorable blonde actress from Pushing Daisies.

4:00pm:     Steve Carell and his wife are being interviewed by Ryan right now and Steve is funny. I love The Office and I love all his movies so I’m happy to see he’s a funny, cute guy in real life. He’s starring in Get Smart with Anne Hathaway coming out in June. I love that Steve and his wife just said happy birthday to his wife’s sister… so cute! Patrick Dempsey and his wife are talking to Ryan. They’re boring and plain, I hate to say it.

4:05pm:     John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston are looking old and they weren’t very friendly with Ryan. Travolta’s wig is shaved off so that’s a plus. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is on the red carpet and is presenting tonight, which is a total joke because he’s like, the worst actor ever. I used to love him like 10 years ago but that fizzled out a long time ago! Atonement star James McAvoy and Anne Marie Scott are both so cute. I love James’ accent, as always.

4:12pm:     Charlie Wilson’s War actress Amy Adams just got interviewed on the red carpet by Ryan and she was cute and charming as always.  Adams was previously nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 2005 Academy Awards for her role as Ashley Johnston in Junebug.

4:18pm:    Gary Busey just awkwardly hugged Jennifer Garner (who looks gorgeous with a huge diamond necklace on) and then kissed her. It was HILARIOUS and she handled it pretty well, aside from the fact she was beyond freaked out. She said she needed her man Ben Affleck around and I think she was right! Laura Linney was at Jennifer Garner’s side. Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill are looking like twins with pubic hair beards and black glasses.. but they are so hilarious. I love them. Miley Cyrus is wearing a red Valentino dress (and I’m wondering why she’s even there) and Ryan Seacrest is just feeding her ego.. it’s sick!

4:30pm:     Ryan Seacrest cannot let go of the whole “Gary Busey busting in” moment. It was, however, quite hilarious. Keri Russell is now talking to Ryan Seacrest. She is wearing a gold strapless dress and she is with her husband, Shane. She is a presenter for some sort of song. Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are being interviewed by Ryan and they’re totally stuck-up. Her face is looking fat now that she’s in her third-trimester. Sean “P. Diddy” Combs is talking to Ryan promoting his movie A Raisin In The Sun on ABC tomorrow night. Cameron Diaz had to ask her assistant what brand of jewels she was wearing. She is presenting at the Oscars again this year, the same as she did last year. Tilda Swinton talked about her role in Michael Clayton. That’s some red hair!

4:45pm:     Still on the red carpet with Ryan.  Lisa Rinna walked by in the background and I’m not sure why her and her big lips are there but whatever. Colin Farrell was there with his mommy and he said Nicole Kidman had nothing to do with why he became an actor, contrary to rumors.  Casey Affleck, who is being nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Assassination of Jesse James, was friendly with Ryan. Hilary Swank is wearing a black Versace dress. It’s pretty but somewhat plain.

4:58pm:    Katherine Heigl wearing a bright red dress with bright red lipstick. A bit intense for me but whatever.

5:01pm:    Now I’m watching the Red Carpet Countdown to the Oscars with Regis Philbin on ABC.  The Reeg is talking to George (been there, done that) about his Best Actor nomination for Michael Clayton. The Reeg couldn’t hear a damn word that George said and he made a fool outta himself. Funny, though. Marion Cotillard is wearing a white dress and is there for her nomination for Best Actress.

*This post is getting long so I will continue on the next post.. keep refreshing your page for updates! Thanks!*

People Magazine voted Drew Barrymore the World’s Most Beautiful Person, and then there was a list of other celebs who made the beautiful people list. Some of the choices are questionable, but whatever. Here’s what Drew and the others said, about being beautiful and other beautiful random stuff.

Drew Barrymore on when she feels beautiful:

“Right after I’ve worked out and I’m sweating all over the place and my face is two different colors of white and red and my hair is half wet, half dry and I look like I’m about to have a heart attack. I feel like I’ve changed the shape of my body temporarily into something more flexible and strong.”

Scarlett Johansson said:

“My hair is such a disaster. I never blow-dry. I can’t do my hair at all. It?s just a burden,” admits the star ofThe Nanny Diaries. But the 22-year-old does like one specific part of her anatomy: “I think I have really good feet. They’re cute!”

Jennifer Aniston on yoga:

“I’ve had everything from deep laughter to deep sadness, where I was crying through moves,” she told Self magazine. “It’s good to get that stuff out. You feel like you’re having a therapy session, a workout and a meditation at the same time.”

Patrick Dempsey:

“The gray hairs certainly have come in the last few months,” says the 41-year-old of the grey in his anatomy. “The last year has been difficult on many levels, with the show moving to Thursday night, and everything that happened this year, and worrying that everything was going to go all right with the boys [newborns Darby and Sullivan] and my wife [Jill, age 41]. But they’ve ceased to come in as quickly.”

Halle Berry on aging:

“My choices today reflect the way I feel about myself – I’m happier than I’ve ever been and very comfortable being who and what I am. My current look is confident and sophisticated, with a bit of an edge but always comfortable.”

Jennifer Garner on Violet and Ben:

“Ben and I like more things in ourselves that we now see reflected in Violet. To see my dimples in her makes me like my dimples because I share them with her.”

Katherine Heigl:

“Hair to me is not a priority. All I ever do is throw it in a bun,” admits the Grey’s Anatomy star, 28. “The only thing I know how to do is hot rollers, which is sort of over. I can’t style bangs even though I love them and I’m always like, ‘Let’s cut some bangs!’ And then I’m stuck with hair I can’t figure out.”

Matthew McConaughey:

“I can be pretty vain. Vanity’s not so bad,” admits the 37-year-old. “Look, do I work out because I like to look good? Yes, that part’s vanity. Do I work out because it makes me feel better? Yes, and that’s not vanity.”

Jennifer Lopez:

“I like to look good for Marc,” she says of her husband, Marc Anthony. As for her beauty routine? “I don’t use a lot of expensive creams,” says Lopez, 37. “It’s more simple: mild cleanser, sunscreen and lots of water.”

Eric Bana:

“People in L.A. look too good to me. It’s important to keep flaws,” the 38-year-old Aussie says. In fact, the Lucky You star says his best look comes purely by accident: “I look my best when I take my helmet off after a long motorcycle ride. I have a glow and a bit of helmet hair.”

Kerry Washington:

“When I first started meeting with agents, I remember one immediately telling me all the things I had to change: I’d have to get my teeth fixed, lose weight,” remembers the 30-year-old actress, next in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. “Then I met with another agent two weeks later who was like, ‘You’re perfect – let’s start.’ That’s a good rule to follow: Go where the love is.”

Pete Wentz on the rockstar life and eyeliner:

“I get a ton of under-eye circles because I don’t sleep. Usually I’ll just put on more eye makeup and let it blur in.”

Helen Mirren on staying sexy:

“Number one, I have never smoked. When you are young, you seem indestructible. As you get older, you realize how much it’s helping you. I’ve never done anything to excess, really.” She also thanks her “fundamentally sunny nature,” saying, “unhappiness etches itself on one’s face very quickly.”

Reese Witherspoon:

“Some people are effortlessly glamorous and sexy,” the actress, 31, has told PEOPLE. “For me, a lot of that stuff is difficult.” Still, her skin-care regimen sounds pretty easy: “I just wear a lot of sunscreen. That’s it. Nothing more. I’m just lucky my grandma gave me great skin.

Wentworth Miller:

“I’ve been shaving my head on and off for years, but for a low-maintenance look, it takes a lot of maintenance – I have to cut it twice a week!”

Carrie Underwood:

“I had a couple of freckles on my face that I didn’t like, so I had them removed,” admits the 24-year-old country star. “And I remember one kid said, ‘Now I can’t play connect-the-dots on your face anymore!’ I’ll never forget that.”

This is pretty funny. Have you ever heard of a site called PostSecret? Well, if you haven’t, here is what the blogspot site does: PostSecret is a site that publishes secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard. The secrets are real and the people stay anonymous. And today they posted on helluva secret.

The postcard reads (in case you can’t tell): “One of these men is the father. He pays me A LOT to keep it a secret!”

The men in the picture are (..in case you can’t tell): Vince Vaughn, Christian Slater, Ryan Phillippe, Simon Cowell, Adrien Grenier, Patrick Dempsey, Nick Lachey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Marc Anthony, Kevin Federline, Orlando Bloom, Brad Pitt, Tobey Maguire, Jim Carrey, Ryan Seacrest, George Clooney, Matthew McConaughey, Justin Timberlake, and Freddie Prinze Jr.

Edit: When one PostSecret reader was right-clicking to save the image, the image title came up “Christian.jpg” Is this a mistake? Or something to throw everyone off? Humm..

Marc Anthony better watch out. J.Lo wants him all to herself and if she finds out he’s got a kid that she didn’t mother, girlfriend just might lose her do-rag and go bonkers.

And let’s be real, K-Fed isn’t paying anyone a lot of money. If anything, he’s asking for hand-outs.

Who do you think the baby’s daddy is??
