Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux Show PDA at Her Exclusive Birthday Bash

Lauren Turner — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:28:26 PST

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux embraced on the balcony of the Chateau Marmont in LA during Jennifer's 43rd birthday party on Saturday. The couple kissed and hugged when they weren't chatting with friends or sitting down to eat. We're used to seeing Jennifer in a bikini around this time of year, but it looks like she's making new traditions with her man Justin. There was no shortage of pals on hand to toast Jennifer, though, since Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, Christine Taylor, and Courteney Cox were among the guests spotted at the event.

The celebratory weekend kicked off on Friday, when Jennifer and Justin met a friend for dinner. Their fun will continue on Valentine's Day tomorrow since Jennifer and Justin are set to premiere their new movie, Wanderlust, in LA. The comedy doesn't hit theaters until next week, but Jennifer is already apparently lining up her next big screen project with rumors that she'll star in the best friend drama Miss You Already.

Lauren Turner — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 07:24:02 PST

London's Royal Opera House was buzzing with stars as the BAFTAs kicked off last night. Brad Pitt popped up on the UK red carpet after attending the Berlin Film Festival premiere of In the Land of Blood and Honey with Angelina Jolie on Saturday. He was up for best actor, as was his pal George Clooney, who mingled with Colin Firth and his wife, Livia Giuggioli, on their way into the show. Presenter Penelope Cruz got glamorous in red while nominees Jessica Chastain, Viola Davis, and Meryl Streep followed suit in gorgeous gowns. Michael Fassbender was back in front of the cameras following a win at yesterday's Irish Film and Television Awards in Dublin. Other guys to suit up for the event included Jon Hamm, Jonah Hill, Gary Oldman, and Jean Dujardin. Chris Hemsworth, who is up for the rising star award, also went with black-tie and posed alongside his pregnant wife, Elsa Pataky. What did you think of all the BAFTA red-carpet looks?

Brad, who wore a coat by Dolce & Gabbana over his tuxedo, didn't end up taking home BAFTA gold, since The Artist's Jean Dujardin was declared best actor. Meryl Streep added to her trophy collection with a best actress accolade for The Iron Lady. Octavia Spencer from The Help won best supporting actress, and the corresponding male honor went to Christopher Plummer for Beginners. The Artist also won best picture and best director. Whether they won or lost, many celebs were in a happy mood following the show. Meryl, Octavia, Chris, Elsa, and more went to the official afterparty, and the Weinstein Company hosted another of their famous bashes.

David and Victoria Celebrate Her Runway Success With Harper

Allie Merriam — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:55:45 PST

David and Victoria Beckham treated their baby girl Harper to a chic lunch at Balthazar in NYC yesterday. It was a celebratory meal following Victoria's latest Fashion Week show. The Fall 2012 Victoria Beckham collection has so far been a hit with critics, and David, who was in the front row, also seemed to be a fan. He snapped pictures throughout the presentation, and later brought Harper to visit with her designing mom backstage. Victoria has just a few days to relax, though, since she has another event to organize for Wednesday. Her lower-priced line, Victoria by Victoria Beckham, will be sent down the runway in two days.

Alicia Keys Makes a Statement on the Grammys Red Carpet

Allie Merriam — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:53:36 PST

Alicia Keys hit the red carpet at this evening's Grammys in LA with her husband Swizz Beatz. She paired a big-shouldered black gown with a large statement necklace. It's the latest event in what's been a jam-packed weekend for Alicia. She and Swizz stepped out last night for the Clive Davis pre-Grammys bash. It was an emotional party, as Alicia is close to host Clive, who was instrumental in launching Whitney Houston's career. Alicia herself was deeply touched by the news of Whitney's passing. She tweeted yesterday, "I feel sick . . . Life is precious, we are fragile souls. Let's love each other! I miss you beautiful Whitney, the whole world misses you!" Alicia is soldiering on with this evening's schedule. Make sure to weigh in on her ensemble, and many more, with our love it or hate it polls.

How to Throw a Midnight in Paris-Themed Oscar Party

Shannon Vestal — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 13:00:26 PST

If you're planning on throwing an Oscar viewing party for Hollywood's big night on Feb. 26, then I suggest that you go big this year and give your event a theme. Take a cue from the nominees and let best picture nominee Midnight in Paris give you inspiration. It has plenty of elements that translate into an opulent party: Paris, the 1920s, and many of its own scenes of revelry. Here's how to use the Woody Allen film as your party muse, and don't forget to fill out a ballot with your Oscar picks for a chance to win an iPad.

How to decorate: Scatter vintage books by the authors featured in the film, like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and T.S. Eliot, and decorate with mini French flags and twinkle lights. Stand a cardboard cutout of the Eiffel Tower near the entrance of the party.
How to dress: The dress code can be either 1920s French (think flapper and drop-waist dresses), or you can just wear your regular clothes like Owen Wilson's character Gil, but you have to continually act surprised and impressed by your surroundings.
What to serve: A rainbow of French macarons, a cheese plate, baguettes, and fancy crepes. Serve champagne in '20s-style glasses like the ones used in the film (though these are disposable).

Britney, Diddy, Kim, Miranda, and More Honor Whitney Houston at Clive Davis's Pre-Grammy Party

Lauren Turner — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 11:29:56 PST

Stars came out to attend Clive Davis's pre-Grammy party at the Beverly Hilton in LA last night despite the tragic news of Whitney Houston's death yesterday afternoon. Clive, who started Whitney's career and remained close to the singer, asked that guests observe a moment of silence for Whitney during the event and shared, "She loved music and loved this night that celebrated music. Whitney would have asked that the music go on. And her family said the show should go on." Clive was just one of many celebrities who commented on Whitney's death yesterday, including Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey.

Britney Spears and her fiancé, Jason Trawick, got the annual celebration going, as did Kim Kardashian and Richard Branson, who was honored at the gala. Jennifer Lopez, Diana Ross, Tom Hanks, and others walked the carpet while Diddy, Miranda Lambert, Alicia Keys, and more took the stage during the event. The musical fun is just getting started since the main event, the Grammy Awards, will take place later today with Jennifer Hudson expected to sing a tribute to Whitney.

Angelina had Brad Pitt by her side and wore a glamorous gold Jenny Packham gown for the big event. She'll continue her run in front of the cameras at an upcoming screening of Blood and Honey in Sarajevo, which she said she's both nervous and excited about since her film's subject is the Bosnian war.
