Happy Monday kiddies and away I go.
Low-budget movies blew by their major studio rivals at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday as romance “Slumdog Millionaire” won a leading four honors, including best drama to give it a push in the race for Oscars. “Slumdog,” which tells of a young Indian man looking for love and competing for money on a television game show, also earned awards for director Danny Boyle, screenwriter Simon Beaufoy and composer A.R. Rahman for best musical score. Boyle thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which gives out the Golden Globe Awards, for supporting his movie that captures the frenetic pace of life in Mumbai. “Your mad, pulsating affection for our film is much appreciated, really deeply appreciated,” Boyle said. “The film was made from the heart, really. We never expected to be here.” In other major honors, director Woody Allen’s “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” was named best film musical or comedy but Allen was not on hand to accept the award. A big surprise of the night came when Kate Winslet grabbed two Golden Globes, only the third time in the history of the awards that one performer has won two acting awards. Is it bad I fell asleep at the 10:00 mark? Eh it is on my Tivo.
Ryan Seacrest knows where he stands, at least when it comes to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. On his KIIS-FM radio show Monday, the host talked about Jolie ignoring his interview request on the Golden Globes red carpet, where he acted as host for E! Sunday. As he tried to get close to the couple, he said, “Hi, guys. Brad? Angelina?” he said, but they acted as if they didn’t hear him. “I don’t think Angelina thinks I’m that important,” he said on his show Monday. “I don’t think I’m top of mind for Brad and Angelina. I honestly don’t believe they’d know who I was if I walked over there.” Here is the link for the video, it really is quite funny.

Next, The jailed husband of Miss Amy Winehouse, has begun divorce proceedings after seeing pictures of her with another man, an attorney says. Blake Fielder-Civil, who has been imprisoned since failing a court-ordered drug test last month, has instructed celebrity lawyer Henri Brandman to initiate divorce proceedings against Winehouse, UK’s Daily Mail reported Sunday. Brandman told the British tabloid Fielder-Civil had instructed him to launch the action on the grounds of Winehouse’s alleged adultery. Sources said Blake will would attempt to collect half the singer’s $15 million fortune. The moves comes after Winehouse told another British tabloid, The News of the World, she has kicked her drug habit for good and admitted she had “forgotten I’m even married” to Fielder-Civil, claiming, “our whole marriage was based on doing drugs.” Well that is totally for the best. He is your typical enabler.
Seems like Vanessa Hudgens would like to take a bite out of Twilight sequel, New Moon. Ashley Greene, who plays Alice, tells MTV.com that Hudgens auditioned for the role of Leah Clearwater, a werewolf who will be the foil to Jacob Lautner’s Jacob Black. No word on whether she got the part, though she does have one person rooting for her. “I think she’d be great,” Greene tells MTV. Greene also spills more Twilight gossip: “I hear they’re doing another rewrite,[on New Moon]” she said. “I’m with you guys — I’m so excited to read it.” Am I the only one who thinks she is going to ruin it?
Kid Rock is baffled by people who enter rehabilitation for substance abuse – because he is adamant it is possible to take drugs and continue living life as normal. The “All Summer Long” star can see the downward spiral some people take when abusing drugs – but insists others can simply “have a fun night”. He tells Q magazine, “I do not understand rehab. If it works for people then God bless them. People have different personalities. “Some people do a line of cocaine and start selling their TVs and their guitar and everything else. Other people do it, have a fun night and go about their business.” But the rocker admits his personality changes when he drinks excessively. He adds, “I have been to anger management twice. After the first session the lady was like, ‘Baby, you don’t seem that angry at all. You seem like a really nice guy.’ I go, ‘That’s the way I feel too. I think that the judge made a mistake when he sentenced me. I think he probably should have sent me to Alcoholics Anonymous because I do have a drinking problem.’ Hum, but you have to admit that Celebrity Rehab on VH1 is quite addictive.
Fergie and Josh Duhamel were married Saturday under magnolia trees filled with thousands of white roses, PEOPLE confirms. The Black Eyed Peas singer, 33, wearing a Dolce & Gabbana gown, and the actor, 36, tied the knot at the Church Estates Vineyards in Malibu. Fergie carried a bouquet of white flowers studded with crystals as the couple exchanged H. Stern rings engraved with personal messages. Ten bridesmaids were dressed in contrasting black. Fergie’s specially-designed engagement ring featured a 4-carat brilliant cut diamond set amid other diamonds. A narrowed diamond wedding band completed the set. Duhamel’s ring was made of white gold with a brushed finish. I guess my invitation must have gotten lost in the mail.

And finally, Don’t worry folks, it’s legal. They may play brother and sister on Dexter, but in real life Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter were lawfully wed on New Year’s Eve, according to Hall’s rep, Craig Bankey. The outdoor ceremony was held in Big Sur. Hall, 37, and Carpenter, 29, plan to appear together at this year’s Golden Globes Awards on Sunday. People Magazine last caught up with Carpenter at the Emmys in September, where she answered the question, Who’s the sexiest man alive? with ease: “Michael C Hall!,” she said. “He’s the sexiest man alive. He’s one of the best we’ve got. He’s an incredible talent and if anyone deserves accolades, it’s him.” I know they are T.V. Siblings but still it is a little creepy.
