Geeking Out with Samantha Ronson at TechCrunch50/ MySpace Party
The big TechCrunch50 Conference kicked off yesterday at the San Francisco Design Center Concourse, with the best new tech startups launching their companies in front of the public — yes Ashton and Demi were there! And to celebrate the day one festivities was the big MySpace party last night at Mezzanine. I not only got to chat with Sean Parker, the cofounder of Napster, and TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington — who said this year's turnout was much better than last year's — but I was able to catch up with the famous Samantha Ronson, who was DJing at the event, and ask her some geeky questions!

The Winners Get Giddy and Glowing in the Press Room
After taking the stage to accept their awards, the night's big winners — and some of the exciting presenters — walked backstage to pose for photos and talk to the press. Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker skipped the interview aspect of things instead posing pretty in front of the big gold men before running off to the after parties. The big award winners were still glowing from their wins when they stepped in front of the mics to talk about what brought them there.
All The Winners From The 2009 Oscars!
The 2009 Oscars took place in LA last night with our fellow Brits taking home a huge number of awards! Slumdog Millionaire was the big winner with eight gold statues including Best Picture and Best Director for Danny Boyle, while Kate Winslet won Best Actress for her role in The Reader — here's what she had to say in the press room following her win! Sean Penn won Best Actor for his role in Milk, beating out Mickey Rourke to the gong, while Penelope Cruz and Heath Ledger won the Best Supporting trophies, with Heath's award being picked up by his family.
Half Nelson Tops Gotham Awards
The Gotham Awards sparked some controversy this year for allowing big studio backed films to compete with the low budget indies that the show usually recognizes. However, this did not keep the stars away and it looks like the indies still dominated the awards despite competition from The Departed. Half Nelson was the big winner of the night with best feature, breakthrough director and breakthrough actor (Go Ryan Gosling!).
Justin Has a Facebook Status Update For Us
Justin Timberlake looked like he was really enjoying his red velvet cupcake outside of Crumbs bakery in LA yesterday. The actor proudly took home his Emmy trophy on Sunday, and this week he landed a big new role. He will be starring in the upcoming Facebook movie as cofounder Sean Parker, who also started Napster.
Justin Timberlake and Jesse Eisenberg Cast in Facebook Movie
Look for some new status updates: Justin Timberlake and Jesse Eisenberg have been cast in The Social Network as the founders of Facebook.
Eisenberg has taken the role of Mark Zuckerberg, after both Shia LaBeouf and Michael Cera were rumored for it (Geek totally called it, btw!) Justin Timberlake and Andrew Garfield will play the two other Facebook founders; Timberlake is taking on Sean Parker (also founder of Napster), and Garfield is playing Eduardo Saverin.
I think Eisenberg is an excellent choice to play Zuckerberg — he has the right resemblance and can play awkward authentically.
The Oscars Brought Laughter, Tears, and Lots of Singing
Last night, the Oscars provided an exciting finale to another awesome award season. We were treated to a new format that kicked off with Hugh Jackman showing off his singing and dancing skills before having fun and joking with the big names of the night. Later on he was joined by Beyonce, Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, and Amanda Seyfried for a fun medley honoring musicals.
Jen and John Cozy Up With Fellow Oscar Partiers at VF
Despite rumors that Graydon Carter was scaling things back for this year's Vanity Fair Oscars party, the soiree was as A-List as ever at its new venue the Sunset Towers. Jennifer Aniston could relax after her presenting duties, and when she and John Mayer hit the party, they couldn't keep their hands off each other. The couple cuddled up every chance they got, and he twittered a sweet message about her.
Masses Of Megastars At The MTV Movie Awards
The MTV Movie Awards took place on Sunday night in Los Angeles, with a massive cavalcade of stars taking to the stage and watching the action from the stalls. Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr and Ben Stiller are my new favourite triple act, as they fooled around outside and onstage promoting Tropic Thunder. Also, how dapper is Seth Rogen looking?
The Cannes Film Festival Is Off and Running
The fun times in Cannes kicked off today, and there was no shortage of star power out on the red carpet for the opening premiere of Blindness. Co-stars Cate Blanchett and Gael Garcia Bernal led the pack, and Eva Longoria and Mischa Barton were just a couple of the lovely ladies who lit up the red carpet in their brightly colored dresses. Natalie Portman looked adorable as always in her little purple number, representing the festival's jury along with Sean Penn.
