Angie Zeiderman wants to one day open for Lady Gaga and also be best friends with that artist. We doubt either will happen. But could this American Idol hopeful go on to have some kind of singing career? It’s possible, based on her unique audition in Aspen last night. Referring to herself as a “vintage glitter queen,” Zeiderman at first sang a terrible version of “When You Got It, Flaunt It” from The Producers . It left J. Lo intrigued, but Randy doubtful. Then, however, she busted out a rendition of “Blue Bayou” by Linda Rondstadt and damn if it didn’t result in unanimous approval for Hollywood. This girl can actually sing!

Former Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky has a type. That type is apparently a Jewish guy with a sense of humor. Basically, the 27-year-old Massachusetts native’s taste could be summarized as “good.” Newly single at the Bachelorette / Bachelor reunion held at The Mirage in Las Vegas, last weekend, she confessed her weakness for certain guys. “I tend to like nice, funny Jewish boys,” she said, adding that while she’s not looking to date right now, she reveals she’s open to it. Calling J-daters! So who’s her dream celebrity date? An SNL funnyman who had a Jewish upbringing. “Andy Samberg,” she told Life & Style . “He’s so funny.” She’s a cutie, Andy. Might want to pick up the phone. Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez, who proposed to her on The Bachelorette season finale of in 2010, split in November after an 18 month engagement. “We were trying to establish ourselves individually,” A-Fed recently said of the breakup. “But a relationship should be solid regardless of circumstances.” [Photo: WENN.com]
Hmmm, there’s something about these pictures of model Elsa Pataky in her bikini that I don’t really find all that attractive. It’s not the style, it’s not the color, I think it’s the fact that she’s got a human growing inside of her. Creepy. I’m going to pretend she just had a large meal, a few beers and she’s a little on the bloated side. Much hotter. It’s a good thing she still looks amazing from behind. I like it.

Ratings down a bit from last year’s show. By Gil Kaufman Ricky Gervais at the 2012 Golden Globes Photo: Getty Images Ricky Gervais has said that his third go-round as host of the Golden Globes would be his last. And while his latest Hollywood-tweaking gig on Sunday night didn’t draw the same headlines as last year’s scorched-earth takedown of Tinsel Town pomposity, ratings for the broadcast were steady. According to the Nielsen Co. the 69th annual Globes was seen by 16.8 million viewers, which is just below the 17 million who tuned in last year. And though some critics dented Gervais for being more controlled than he was last year, the Globes has already set the high-water mark for awards programs so far this season, beating out both the American Music Awards and the Emmys. MTV’s Movies team gave Gervais both a thumbs up and down on his performance, praising him for “winning over Hollywood frenemies and delivering a very funny opening monologue.” But there was some bad news as well. “The comedian might have talked a big game heading into the show, but Gervais’ performance was a restrained one after last year’s hullabaloo. What’s great about the comedian is how he coats a witty mean-spiritedness with kindly, winking, you-know-I-still-love-you sugar. When your biggest dig is a fish-in-the-barrel attack on ‘The Tourist,’ you know you’ve caved to the worrywarts in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.” With big wins for George Clooney for “The Descendants” and a boost for the silent film “The Artist,” both movies solidified their spots as front-runners of the awards season.

‘We’re just actually really grateful that ‘Glee’ has opened the door,’ former American Idol says of her upcoming musical series. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Katharine McPhee at the Golden Globes on Sunday Photo: Jeff Vespa/ WireImage During the Golden Globes on Sunday night (January 15), there was one promo that played nearly on a loop. The commercial for NBC’s new music-themed prime-time drama, “Smash,” seemed to play almost as much as the show itself, which featured funny barbs from host Ricky Gervais , an equally funny response from Golden Globe-winner Madonna and a big win for “The Descendants,” which took home Best Motion Picture – Drama . Before the Golden Globes kicked off, MTV News caught up with “Smash” leading lady and former American Idol Katharine McPhee on the red carpet. She happily explained how there’s really no competition between her forthcoming show and that other singing show on Fox, “Glee.” “You know, we’re so secluded from L.A., where they’re shooting ‘Glee,’ and we haven’t had any interaction. No one’s had any sort of conversations. We’re just actually really grateful that ‘Glee’ has opened the door,” she said. “And has made music work on television.” In teases for the show, McPhee is seen covering Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful,” and when we caught up with her, she told us that later on in the season there will be a Rihanna cover. McPhee even went on to share what famed actors and singers will also appear on the highly anticipated show. “Well, we have Uma Thurman, who’s not a pop star but a movie star. She’s actually shooting with us already,” she said. “[One Republic frontman] Ryan Tedder is a guest star. So he’s a pop star and an amazing writer. Oh god, and Nick Jonas . We’re doing pretty good for the first season.” “Smash,” also starring Debra Messing and Anjelica Huston and produced by Steven Spielberg, premieres February 6. The show follows the behind-the-scenes staging of a Broadway show about Marilyn Monroe, who is certainly in the zeitgeist nowadays as Michelle Williams just nabbed a Golden Globe for her portrayal of the Hollywood icon in “My Week With Marilyn.” Stick with MTV News all night for the 2012 Golden Globes winners, and don’t miss all the fashion from the Golden Globes red carpet !

Reese Witherspoon, Charlize Theron and Nicole Richie shine. By Christina Garibaldi, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Reese Witherspoon attends the 2012 Golden Globes Photo: Getty Images On Sunday night, the hottest celebrities in Hollywood gathered for the 2012 Golden Globes to celebrate one of the biggest nights in movies, television, and, of course, fashion. The stars shone bright on the red carpet, showing off gorgeous mermaid-style gowns, plunging necklines and sparkling headbands . Yet, it wasn’t all about bright colors: The big trend for the night was nude-hued gowns , worn by everyone from Jessica Biel and Heidi Klum to “Modern Family” actress Sarah Hyland. “This one is really different,” Hyland told MTV News of her beige lace Dolce & Gabbana gown. “I never really wore lace before so I feel very feminine in it. It’s very vintage-y, classy, and I like that.” While Hyland’s dress was covered in lace, first-time attendee and Best Supporting Actress nominee for “The Help,” Jessica Chastain decided to adorn herself from head to toe in pearls. “It was love at first sight with this dress,” Chastain said of her white Givenchy gown. “This is my first Golden Globes. There’s something very pure about this dress. I’m a very pure girl.” Looking radiant in a silver Julien Macdonald gown was Nicole Richie, who finished off her look with her very own House of Harlow bag. “I thought she looked amazing,” Celebuzz producer Rachel Maresca told MTV News. “We haven’t seen her on a red carpet in a long time, and she came out wowing everybody. She’s in Julien Macdonald with a fully beaded dress. She said it was little bit heavy, but she looked very comfortable in it, and she’s rocking a House of Harlow, her own designed bag.” A-list actresses flooded the red carpet, including Angelina Jolie in a draped ivory Atelier Versace gown with red accents, Charlize Theron in a pink Dior Couture gown complete with high slit and Cartier headband, and Emma Stone in a purple and red accent Lanvin gown with a plunging neckline. Yet, it was a lady in red that might have stolen the show: Reese Witherspoon dazzled in a tight-fitted scarlet Zac Posen dress with a sweetheart neckline, deciding to keep the rest of her look laidback with wavy hair. “Her hair for me looked ‘gorgeous without trying’ type of look,” Maresca said. “The dress was made for her; it looks great.” Who do you think was the best dressed at the Golden Globes?

‘I think we got a good shot with Melissa [for Best Supporting Actress],’ Paul Feig tells us on the Golden Globes red carpet. By Terri Schwartz, with reporting by Joshua Horowitz Paul Feig Photo: Steve Granitz/ Getty Images “Bridesmaids” might have walked away from the Golden Globes empty-handed , but the raunchy comedy is still considered a dark horse for the upcoming Oscar race. Nominees won’t be announced until January 24, and many experts are guessing that the film might sneak into the pool of Best Picture nominees. Director Paul Feig is similarly optimistic. MTV News caught up with him on the red carpet before the Globes where he chatted about his predictions for “Bridesmaids'” Oscar chances. “I’m really pulling for Melissa [McCarthy]. I think we got a good shot with Melissa [for Best Supporting Actress],” he said. “I think the girls have a good shot for the screenplay.” But what about their Best Picture odds? Feig isn’t holding his breath. “Look, nothing would make me happier,” he said. “I think that’s a real tough one because the way the voting for the Academy is set up for Best Pictures this year is tough. We have to get a lot of, like, ‘best movie of the year’ votes, which, like, we’re good, but we’re not the best movie of the year. I’d like to say we were, but what an ass I would sound like if I did say that.” That lends itself to a different argument that says the Academy Awards should follow the Globes’ model and separate the drama and comedy categories. As a comedic director and producer for over a decade, Feig said he sees the upside in that split. His argument is that it’s easier to create a showy drama that appeals to critics than a showy comedy that does the same. In his experience, showy comedies typically distance the intended audience, though that isn’t always the case. “I thought ‘The Hangover’ was very showy in that way, filmmaking-wise. But it’s hard because most comedy needs to be very relatable. Like, if I were to do ‘Bridesmaids’ kind of very stylistic, I think I would alienate the audience, you know,” he said. “As a filmmaker, my theory is always, ‘Take the backseat. Don’t show off. Let the girls be the focus.’ ” Check out everything we’ve got on “Bridesmaids.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Some unexpected wins at the Golden Globes change the race leading up to next month’s Academy Awards. By Kevin P. Sullivan Michelle Williams at the 2012 Golden Globes Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images Most people will tell you that they only care about the Golden Globes because of what the list of winners says about the Oscars. While the Globes aren’t historically the best predictors of Academy Award winners, they do often give a signal of where things are, heading into Oscar night. This year was no different, but don’t expect people to be erasing their picks from their Oscar ballot just yet. Here is what this year’s Golden Globe winners tell us about the Oscars. Sorry, Brad This year’s awards season has been marked by a lack of front-runners in most categories. Even with the dozens of critic organizations that have already awarded their year-end prizes, going into Globes night, no one performance or film stood out as the one to beat. (The closest one to a sure bet is Christopher Plumber for “The Beginners.”) Until Sunday, three men could have realistically been considered favorites for Best Actor: Brad Pitt , Jean Dujardin and George Clooney. Since “The Artist” skated by on a questionable comedy categorization, both Dujardin and Clooney took home Golden Globe statues and landed themselves at the front of the Oscar pack. This is essentially the end of Pitt’s Oscar run this year. Best Actress Award Is Up for Grabs Most analysts had considered Viola Davis the clear favorite to win Best Actress, but her loss Sunday night to the reigning queen of award shows Meryl Streep signals a change in the tide. The two actresses were neck and neck for the category, but lukewarm to negative reviews for “The Iron Lady” began to hurt Streep’s chances just weeks before award season got into full swing. Since “The Help” was generally considered a better film, Davis got the vote of confidence from many over the often-nominated Streep. Though she had been considered one of the favorites going into the Golden Globes, Streep’s victory is somewhat of an upset and proof positive that the Best Actress race is far from decided. “The Descendants” vs. “The Artist” These are the two films that have fought again and again for Best Picture awards for the past weeks, but the Globes did not offer any great insight for the Oscars. “The Descendants” and “The Artist” both took home the Best Picture award for their respective categories, despite the latter actually being a drama. The only thing we know for sure now is that these are the two films vying for Best Picture, with the “The Artist” maintaining a definite lead. Many considered “Hugo” a contender, and Martin Scorsese’s win for Best Director gives some validity to those claims, but for all intents and purposes, any film that isn’t “The Artist,” “The Descendants” or “Hugo” should throw in the towel now.
