Rehab worked wonders then. Sean 'I was in Blade Runner, you know' Young got herself photographed with Michelle Williams, Jonah Hill, Brad and Angelina, Glenn Close, Sandra Bullock, and even Nick Nolte (so no actual Oscar winners then. Apart from Sandra, of course, but that was ages agp) before "slapping a security guard" at the Governor's Ball and getting arrested. Once out of the clink, she issued a statement and posted all...

So it's true what they say - behind every good man there's a good woman. Denzel Washington has admitted that while he, as an Academy member, gets to vote on who wins at The Oscars, it's really his wife that picks the winners, not him. So he said to Sky News. Washington is but...

This is actually his house. Has been for 20 years. That's also his fridge, even though he doesn't really seem to know much about it. Like where it is (thankfully it's got a glass door so he can tell where it is). And that's his coffee/vodka cup he's so naturally cradling. In...
