The lengthy Golden Globes post, part 3...
JOAN AND MELISSA RIVERS
After being let go in favor of Star Jones Reynolds last year, they were back doing their red carpet thing for the TV Guide channel this year. Joan (who I don't generally find very funny) opened the show with a few notable jokes...
* She said Kate Moss was out sniffing the white line on Sunset Blvd (shocking and tasteless!)
* She said it was now clear that Herbie wasn't the only thing Fully Loaded (after Lindsay Lohan admitted to taking drugs in the past...chuckle, chuckle)
* And she called Brokeback Mountain "Broken-butt Mountain" (which was completely inappropriate, but made me laugh out loud from the shock!)
A few years ago when Kevin Costner brought new fiancee Christine Baumgartner to the ceremony, Joan created an extremely awkward situation by going on and on about how small Christine's engagement ring was and how surely Kevin's career couldn't be in that bad of shape. I didn't think things could get much more uncomfortable than that, but last night...they did.
While interviewing newly on-again couple Nicolette Sheridan and Michael Bolton, Joan asked how long they had been together. The couple, who dated seriously back in the early 90's, sort of laughed uncomfortably. You see, Nicolette was recently engaged to another man. A few weeks ago, she abruptly ended the engagement and started stepping out again with Bolton. While they haven't officially said they're back together, they have done all those Hollywood "we're-an-item-but-we're-not-talking-about-it" things like eating at the Ivy, going on vacation together, and now, walking the red carpet. Bolton answered Joan that they had basically been together 16 years. Joan said, astonished, really! That long?!? She had NO CLUE. Hello, an Us Weekly costs about $2.50, Joan. Pick one up before you embarrass yourself like that again!!
THE SPEECHES...
1. Steve Carell - he said his wife had written down a speech for him in case he won. She was thanked after every person for things like her beauty, devotion, etc. Very cute and the delivery (as always) was spot on.
2. Hugh Laurie - he said he had come up with 172 people to be thanked and had written all of their names down on little slips of paper in his pocket. He would draw out three at random to be thanked on stage. It was really funny and great to hear him speaking in his native English accent!
3. Sandra Oh - she was so surprised and excited to have won, she couldn't hardly find her way to the stage! Once there, she gave a precious and heartfelt speech.
4. Reese Witherspoon - she said, at the end of her speech, she wanted to thank her wonderful husband and children: "nothing in my life would be worth having if I couldn't share it with you"...awwww.
5. Geena Davis - she told a heart-warming story about a little girl who stopped her outside the event earlier that night and said "because of you, I want to be President some day." The crowd oohed and aahed. With perfect comedic timing, Davis waited a beat, then said..."Well, okay, that didn't really happen, but if it had..." The crowd loved it!
Okay, okay, I think that's it. If I'm like this now, just imagine what it will be like for the Oscars!
