Sandra Bullock Oops
Sandra Bullock receives Honor From Glamour
It must be surprising awards season.
First, Ben Affleck actually won a trophy for good acting.
Now, Glamour magazine has given Sandra Bullock the "Undercover Activist" award at the magazine's "Women of the Year" Awards 2006 Monday night at NYC's Carnegie Hall.
We like Bullock and she deserves to be honoroed for quietly donating millions to the Red Cross after September 11 and the 2004 tsunami. We were just surprised to hear the news.
Other recipients on the evening included Queen Latifah, supermodel Iman, tennis legend Billie Jean King, and more.
Barbara Walters took time away from preventing a fight between Elizabeth Hasselback and Rosie O'Donnell to talk glowingly about Bullock. Sort of.
The View host told a story about interviewing Bullock in the early 90s when she was still an up-and-coming actress. The two went fishing together and Walters described Bullock as a tomboy.
"I thought she was very beautiful and talented. But I also thought, Honey, you're never going to make it,'" Walters told the audience. "She just wasn't self-involved enough for this business¦ She was smart, dignified and she talked about her love of her family, and I said to myself, No way. She's a one film star.'"
So you need to be self-involved and spoiled to make it in Hollywood? Damn, Paris Hilton does have a future in that case.
Walters continued: "But then she was cast in a huge action movie called Speed, and her career took off. There's an old Hollywood myth about the bright-eyed girl who arrives in Los Angeles right off the bus, ready to become a star. Sandra Bullock did it backwards" she got on the bus and became a star!"
In her acceptance speech, Bullock, 42, teased Billie Jean King, saying: "Thank you for being an icon physically. I couldn't play tennis, but I tried. It just didn't work out for me."
Also on hand to support the award winners were Bullock's husband Jesse James, Catherine Zeta Jones, Rosario Dawson, Stephen Colbert, Emmy Rossum, Marianne Pearl, and rocker David Bowie.

Michael Jackson Oops-had two gay lovers
Writer Ian Halperin claims in his unauthorised biography that “virtually everybody” around Jackson knew that the singer was gay.
Jackson’s affair with the builder, who was in his early 20s, began in Las Vegas in 2007, according to Halperin. “He rarely left his residence, but when he did, according to one of Jackson’s closest confidants, it was to meet a boyfriend at a run-down motel.
“Michael would leave the house in disguise, often dressed as a woman, and would go to meet his boyfriend at a motel that was one of Vegas’ grungiest dives. Michael was broke. He struggled to put food on the table for his children. It was all he could afford then.”
Halperin added: “A close aide of Jackson who confirmed the affair to me said that he had no knowledge of what went on behind closed doors at the motel. But the aide said Jackson would dress as a woman after midnight to meet a worker employed by the city of Las Vegas.”
The second man was an aspiring actor, working as a waiter, who visited Jackson’s Hollywood Hills home almost every night for three weeks during a short but passionate affair, Halperin said.
The author’s claims, in the book "Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson," were reported by The Sun.
Lindsay Lohan hounding Ryan Seacrest about working with her
You know what is the best way to resurrect your flailing career? Legend has it, you want to find one of the most powerful people in your industry, then go out of your way to annoy the crap out of them. This seems to be the sage advice Lindsay Lohan is following, since she’s taken what could have been a good thing with Ryan Seacrest (he’s also a big time producer, not just the host of ‘American Idol’) and ruined it by pestering the living daylights out of him. Lohan even went so far as to call him up and ask him to take a break from his radio program so that they could chat. Lindsay Lohan may not have a career or anyone’s respect, but she is still the center of the world damn it!
Seacrest… out? Insiders whisper Ryan’s now admitting he’s had second thoughts about launching a reality show with ditzy diva Lindsay Lohan! After two face-to-face meetings, Mean Grrrl started bombarding the busy host with needy phone calls, and here’s the shocker - she actually begged him to take a break from his LA morning radio show for a heart-to-heart chat! Said a source: “Ryan’s the busiest man in show business, and he should have known better than to enter Lindsay’s world. He’s now saying that compared to Lindsay, working with high-maintenance Kim Kardashian is a low-Maintenance job!”
Now for the REAL shocker: Pals snicker that despite her current taste for all things Sapphic, La Lohan’s developing a “thing” for Seacrest. Reportedly, he has “zero interest.” (REALLY??)
[From the National Enquirer, Mike Walker's column, July 27, 2009, print ed.]
My God I hope Seacrest cuts her off. The last thing Lindsay Lohan needs is someone indulging her. Seriously, she knows her career is beyond in the toilet. It’s gone out to sea. She’s not in a position to make demands on anyone. The only thing Lohan should be doing is freaking begging. She should be calling Ryan Seacrest up and asking him if she can bring him a beverage. Anything it takes to ingratiate herself and be as pleasing as possible to Seacrest.
I can’t stand that spiky haired pocket person, but he has major clout in Hollywood. He’s a workaholic, and exactly the type of person Lohan should be around. I’m surprised Seacrest would even consider dealing with another Lohan after producing Dina Lohan’s reality show. But that must not have been the terrible experience I assumed it was since he’s toying with the idea of adding Lindsay to the roster.
Lohan – get yourself a mop and a broom, stat. And start cleaning Seacrest’s house. Then move on to the garden. Show him you’ll actually work – and do whatever it takes – and you might deserve another chance. And keep your pants on.
