March of the Penguin Suits: Red Carpet Oscar Fashion [Gallery]

The most important day in the gay calendar, Oscar Sunday is important not only for the glorious shining awards handed out to a lucky few. There’s also the dresses! Here are some red carpet low/highlights. All images via Getty Anna Kendrick doesn’t look like Fritzi anymore. Amanda Seyfried : “It’s that whole country club formal dinner napkin look that I’ve always loved.” Zoe Saldana : “I’m doing a whole ‘Under the Sea’ musical number with Vera Farmiga.” Vera Farmiga : “Yeah, I don’t know. I was drunk.” Mo’Nique ‘s blue heaven. Zac Efron would like to borrow your daughter for a moment. True Blood ‘s Deborah Ann Woll promises to do better next time. The always-poised Sigourney Weaver struggles to remain calm as red carpet devours her. If it worked for Jason Smith, 1995 Midland High School Prom King, Jeremy Renner figures this lucky shimmer-tie will work for him. Maggie Gyllenhaal is so hip she’s wearing Urban Outfitters curtains to the Academy Awards. Tinker Bell not the same since spending the summer at her goth cousin’s house. (That’s Carey Muligan , slowly disappearing from the boobs up.) Diane Kruger run over by band of unruly teenagers on their Huffys. Sandra Bullock ‘s lovely look for the 1994 Golden Globes. Who invited Miley Cyrus to the Oscars? Sarah Jessica Parker came dressed as an elaborate birdbath. Kinda wish Tina Fey would change her spots. Is Molly Ringwald there for John Hughes-related reasons? It’s a shame that Penelope Cruz is so ugly and dresses so terribly. Rachel McAdams is beginning to realize that driving that truck full of water colors down a bumpy road while wearing her Oscar dress wasn’t such a good idea. All hail the Queen Latifah . Hasn’t Helen Mirren worn this dress before? Tonight is the debut of the new clothing line Vagina Explosion by J. Lo Charlize Theron traveled to the show on a gust of wind. Look out behind you, Gabourey Sidibe ! The plants! They’re attacking! Meryl Streep : If you bring the bathrobe back after the Oscars, does the hotel still charge you for it? Charlize Theron take two: It’s Edvard Munch meets that Janet Jackson Rolling Stone cover.

Oscars Exclusive: Stars Enjoy Cocaine [Drugs]

We interviewed two cocaine dealers—one who deals with young Hollywood and one who looks after the old-school connoisseurs. They both expected business to double, but for very different reasons. “Larry” (not his real name, unless it is and we’re double-bluffing) deals to the upstarts and whippersnappers and says he expects business to double this weekend because “lots of the young actresses like to stay wired all day. It’s like coffee to them.” He’ll clear five figures, he thinks. But then coke tends to the grandiose, so who knows? “You’d be surprised how much coke these people do out here. Way more than New York.” “Barry” (also not his real name, unless we decided that the rhyming real names were so implausible that it was better to use them) deals to the older, more world-weary set up in the Hills. He says they tend to restrain themselves for the rest of the year. “But this is Oscars fucking weekend. I don’t care who you are—if you win a fucking Oscar you’re going to celebrate.” He refused to put a figure on his increased take.

From the Stars to the Gutter [Party Crash]

Last night Los Angeles was drained of star power because super-agencies WME and CAA had house parties with ridiculous security. Things we discovered: bribing people is harder than you think, security guards are scary and we belong among the dregs. We had high hopes of breaking into CAA partner Bryan Lourd or WME honcho Ari Emanuel ‘s house parties. We drove down leafy roads among mansions worth tens of millions of dollars with various cunning, Mossad-esque plans. We even had a ladder in the trunk. And then we pulled up outside Bryan Lourd’s house to take this innocuous picture of his front door. Lourd represents, or has represented, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, Robert De Niro and Tom Cruise among others, so we figured that it was worth being brave to sneak in and surround ourselves with the mega-wattage of true Hollywood. We had visions of laughing with George about our antics. Drinking with Brad. Getting De Niro to say “you talking to me” on voicemails to our mothers. And then two angry, Blackwater-looking security guards in khaki fatigues and windbreakers, a Swiss Guard if you will, sprinted at high speed down the road towards us shouting things, doubtless about the pre-eminence of CAA in Hollywood life and the many achievements of Bryan Lourd. And we shat ourselves and drove away. But not before trying to bribe a valet from Chuck’s Parking who was snoozing in a van nearby. “I can’t get you in,” he said, plainly. So we asked if he could text us updates on whose cars he parked. “No.” Window rolled up. Even CAA’s Oscar party valets take the oath of omerta. And then we found our true position in life at the OK! party. Where we hung out with… Audrina Patridge. Who we were trying to get as Gawker’s LA intern. “It’s Oscar weekend though, you know,” her publicist said, mysteriously, since we don’t think she’s nominated or attending. Kendra Wilkinson also told us she could not gain valuable work experience because she is under exclusive with E! for the Oscars. Other people had bad hair . Rejected by everyone else, we felt a kinship with them that cannot be put into words. [ Top photo via Getty Images; all other photos by Ray LeMoine ]
