Renegade on the red carpet

Jennifer Garner,celebrity gossip,oscars,red carpet,hollywood,Academy Awards,gary busey Gary Busey causes a stir on the red carpet at the Oscars 2008 Remember Gary Busey who played Keanu Reeves police partner in Point Break? Well, he made sure he was noticed on the Oscars red carpet by apparently terrifying Jennifer Garner and Laura Linney half to death. The pair were being interviewed by E! presenter Ryan Seacrest when he shouted, ‘"Ryan Seacrest! I\'ve been looking for you for years!" and proceeded to hug and kiss the ladies with a little too much zeal. After the interview Ryan said, "I don\'t even know how to explain what just happened and the terror on Jennifer Garner\'s face when that went down." Gary phoned Ryan\'s radio show the following morning to make a bungling apology.

Yes, that\'s right, Tilda has two lovers. One is 29-year-old artist Sandro Topp, and the other 68-year-old John Byrne who is the father of her 10-year-old twin boys. They all share a house in Scotland in a cosy celebrity love triangle.

A diet too far?

Renee Zellweger,celebrity,oscars,hollywood,Academy Awards Renee Zellwegger looks painfully thin at the Oscars 2008

Renee Zellweger was the subject of a celebrity weight debate yet again. The actress, who has was a Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner in 2004 for her performance in Cold Mountain, was pictured looking painfully thin and angular. All the gossip was about her skeletal figure rather than the beautiful Carolina Herrera dress she was wearing.

Sour grapes

Simon Cowell,celebrity,oscars,hollywood,Academy Awards,The X Factor Simon Cowells rants on Oscars night 2008 X Factor judge Simon Cowell thinks that the reason that he wasn\'t invited to the Oscars is that the film industry hates him. "They think I\'m the Antichrist. They don\'t like us TV people to be part of it - it\'s ridiculous. It reeks of snobbery," he told The Mirror newspaper, "I hate the whole movie industry. It\'s so stuck up I can\'t bear it."  That didn\'t stop him from attending Elton John\'s post-Oscars party though. Simon, we have three words for you. Pot. Kettle. Black

It\'s a boy!

Pregnant celebrity Cate Blanchett may have accidentally let the gender of her baby out the bag when she told press on the Oscars red carpet, "He\'s actually asleep, believe it or not - which bodes well." When you\'re a celebrity baby, you\'re allowed to sleep through the Academy Awards.

Tilda doesn\'t see the funny side

celebrity gossip,celebrity,oscars,tilda swinton,hollywood,Academy Awards ilda Swinton gets upset by Oscar party joke The Mirror reports that Tilda Swinton got her knickers - or should we say control briefs - in a twist at the Warner Bros party. The goody bags included Bridget Jones-like pants, a joke referring to the weight she put on for her role in Michael Clayton.  A source at the party told the Mirror\'s reporters, "Tilda ate a pie before every scene in Michael Clayton - she said it made her feel uncomfortable in her skin and that helped her get into character. Tilda has lost all the weight now and the pants were meant as a joke, not to offend. And, anyway, there were anti-wrinkle pads in the bags, too, in reference to all the frowning George did in the film."

Starting a Rumer

Orlando Bloom,bruce willis,celebrity,demi moore,oscars,hollywood,Academy Awards,celebrity party,rumer willis Orlando Bloom and Rumer Willis spotted kissing at the Oscars 2008

It seems like Pirates Of The Caribbean star Orlando Bloom may have a new romance brewing, and his new love interest has true Hollywood star pedigree. Orlando was spotted canoodling with Rumer Willis, eldest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, at Prince\'s post-Oscars party. At a mere 19 years old, Rumer, is 12 years younger than heartthrob Orlando. A source from the party told the Mirror, "As soon as they got in, they sat very, very close to each other and the chemistry was electric. It was the talk of the party." Let\'s hope Orlando treats her nice - we\'d put our money on Die Hard star Bruce Willis in a fight!

No party for old men

The celebrity gossip hounds don’t seem to have been able to keep tabs on Best Supporting Actor winner Javier Bardem. He was spotted at the Governor’s Ball celebrating his win with George Clooney, and at the Miramax party, where People magazine report that he was jumping up and down with joy. Page Six reports that Javier and fellow Spaniard Penelope Cruz partied with Sean Penn and Petra Nemcova at Villa, while The Sun reports that Javier and Penelope snubbed Elton John’s Oscars party to have an intimate dinner with his family. That’s some night, Javier!

It was so hot that Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher was turned away when he tried to gatecrash. The Sun reports that Calista Flockhart got in a flap with partner Harrison Ford and told him to take it easy on the champagne. Later, the pair had trouble getting home, according to USA today. After waiting ages for a limo that never appeared, Harrison and Calista were whisked home in a friendly police squad car. When Elton John offered to take his trousers off for the evening\'s charity auction, Sharon Stone, classy as ever, piped up, "I would, but you\'ve all already seen that before."
