THE STARS STEP OUT FOR PRE-GLOBES GALA

Hollywood is sprucing itself up, getting gifts and going to galas before Sunday night’s Golden Globes Awards.

Even celebs who may not be Golden Globes-bound donned glamorous duds last night at the Art of Elysium’s annual charity gala in Los Angeles.

Leading the galaxy of stars were Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, Tobey Maguire, Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter, Gerard Butler, Kate Bosworth, Marisa Tomei, Vincent Gallo, David Arquette and Courteney Cox.

The swanky soiree, held at a former cathedral included dinner, music, a fashion show and special honours for Eva Mendes and Jim Sheridan.

Eva was chosen to receive the inaugural Spirit of Elysium award for her work with the organization over the past two years. Jim, the event’s co-chair, was to be presented with the Visonary Award before passing the torch to next year’s honouree, Shepard Fairey.

Founded in 1997, the Art of Elysium encourages actors, artists and musicians to share their time and talent at artistic workshops for seriously ill children. Last year’s gala raised over $800 000.

    I love Joel & Nicole. They’re like Brad & Angie Jr to me. Joel is a sexy guy and so is his bro.

    Looks like all the “celebs” are coming out of their hole. Its like they’ve been in hiding for months.

    Nicole looks beautiful.
    Bosworth looks scary, as does Shannen Doherty.
    Courtney looks stoned.

    Why does Bosworth look like a 50 year old woman?? Her massively receding hairline does not help.

    Kate Bosworth is a lollipop girl–all head on a stick body that gets bonier day by day. Nicole doesn’t look right here. Usually she pulls it together for the more formal occasions, but this time not so much.

    The LAST person I want to see is Rumer. I laughed when they got canceled last year, and she couldn’t be the GG girl. Yes, I am a bitch about ugly, untalented celebspawn who try and be famous.

    PSL you are SO right. We all feel that way, she’s got connections, being who her parents are that’s why she’s in movies. Half of Hollywood is connected.

    Nicole Richie is amusing, that’s what she is (or was). And some people find her to be very pretty… it’s a coin toss for me, though. Sometimes she looks more like a rat, which I think is the case here. Rumer was hit with the fugly stick, and on top of that, I’ve heard she can be a big bitch to anyone who’s not famous.

    Gerard can so get it, anytime, just say the fucking word.

    you guys are absolutely right about Nicole Richie being the same as Rumer. I happen to think Nicole is pretty and has great style, so I don’t mind looking at her. But I roll my eyes at her plenty.
