Well, the Oscar nominations came out today; congratulations to all the nominees. Lord only knows what the ceremony will look like if the writers' strike continues, but bask in your glory for the day and worry about seeming like a scab tomorrow. Since it’s often more fun to read a bad review than a good one, let’s talk about this year’s worst performances instead. That’s right, the 2007 Razzie Award nominations are out. It appears to have a bad year for students and/or strippers who could be amnesiacs and/or long-lost twins and who are being chased by a serial killers. But then, I’d imagine any year would be hard for someone with that mix of attributes.

Seeing the list makes me feel pretty good about my own taste in movies, since I haven’t seen I Know Who Killed Me or any of the other Worst Picture nominees: Bratz, Daddy Day Camp, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry and Norbit.

In fact, of all the nominees, I’ve seen only one of the performances, that of Worst Supporting Actor stinker Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. And mostly I saw that out of my long-standing affinity for Johnny Depp, who might as well be a woman because he’s so damn pretty. What? Don’t judge. … continue reading

In my mind, there are few better ways to wake up than with Diane Keaton talking about full lips and dropping f-bombs. Good Morning America, indeed. The Oscar-winning actress stopped by the ABC morning show yesterday to chat about her upcoming film Mad Money (costarring Katie Holmes and Queen Latifah).

But it soon became abundantly clear that Keaton only has eyes for Diane Sawyer:

“I want to talk about you, because, no I am serious. I was looking at you on television and I honestly do not understand why more hasn’t been made about how beautiful you are. Because you are a beautiful woman. And I am not kidding you for one minute.”

I love Diane Keaton, and I am not kidding you for one minute either. And I also kinda love Diane Sawyer’s killer do-me boots. Meow. … continue reading

I have to admit, my first thought on seeing this picture of Katie Holmes was, "At last, she can find her Helen."

But no, Katie has not become a bad girl — yet. She does, however, play a girl gone wrong in the movie Mad Money, in which she stars with Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton.

Mad Money is the story of three janitors at the Federal Reserve who plot to steal money that is scheduled for destruction. Arthur Frobisher Ted Danson also stars. The movie is based on the British film Hot Money, which was based on a true story. … continue reading

TMZ.com isn't exactly known for appreciating older women (or women, period), but over the weekend its minions posted a gallery of stars who are "aged to perfection." It's pretty cool; in fact, it looks like the sort of thing we'd do here at AfterEllen.com. I can only assume there's some sort of weird astrological phenomenon at work. Rather than worry about that, I'll just gaze at the stunning photos — here's a sampling:

Diane Keaton

Angela Bassett (with hubby/date cut out by TMZ, ha ha) … continue reading

1. When I first heard that Katie Holmes was flirting with someone on the set of Mad Money, my mind went right to Diane Keaton. Adam who?

Oh, whoops. That photo makes them look waaaaaay too May-December. Never mind. Anyway, don't taint Mad Money for me, Katie: I've been looking forward to seeing Diane Keaton and Queen Latifah on the screen together. Hotness!

2. Sandra Bullock has filed for a restraining order against the woman who was arrested for attempting to run over Bullock's husband. I swear I thought the car was in neutral, Sandra! And when will you see that we're meant to be together?! You can't fight destiny!

3. Neve Campbell is getting married.

As I think about growing older, I wish for many things. Good health. Warm companionship. Mental clarity. But, above all, I wish for one thing: Please, please, please let me age like Diane Keaton.

For the last 30-plus years, Ms. Keaton has embodied the thinking woman's beauty. Her quirky charm, off-beat elegance and endearing neurosis have only gotten better with age. Now, at age 61, she is in the midst of a full-fledged career renaissance. On Monday night, the Film Society of Lincoln Center feted her at its 34th annual gala tribute. The honor only seems appropriate. It seems that every decade, Diane has found a way to reinvent herself to make herself relevant to the changing times. … continue reading

Because I Said So opens this weekend, featuring Lauren Graham, Diane Keaton, Piper Perabo, and Mandy Moore in the same movie. It's like Ocean's 11 for women!

Make that more like Ocean's 12, unfortunately--the reviews are so bad they make Smokin' Aces look like an Oscar-worthy meditation on violence.

But seriously, how can you resist this:

or this:

I don't care how bad the reviews are, I'm going to see this when it comes out on DVD. Or ends up on Lifetime, whichever comes first.
