Academy Apologizes for Farrah Fawcett Snub
Originally posted 03/10/2010 06:30AM
It was no oversight. The executive director of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has apologized to the friends, family and fans of Farrah Fawcett, who was conspicuously omitted from Sunday night's Oscar-event tribute to Hollywood personalities who had died over the past year.
While some agents and publicists, besides actors, were included in the memorial, Fawcett, a high-profile star better known for her TV work (who also appeared on the big screen), was not. Neither was Gene Barry – who was seen in both versions of War of the Worlds – or Bea Arthur.
Among those criticizing the Academy for its selective omissions were critic Roger Ebert and Oscar-winner Jane Fonda.
In response, the Academy's Bruce Davis, who was responsible for the "in memoriam" segment (and has been since the tradition began in 1993), said late Tuesday: "There's nothing you can say to people, particularly to family members, within a day or two of the show that helps at all. They tend to be surprised and hurt, and we understand that and we're sorry for it."

"On behalf of myself, my father Ryan O’Neal and my entire family, we are deeply saddened that a truly beautiful and talented actress Farrah Fawcett was not included in the memorial montage during the 82nd Academy Awards. We are bereft with this exclusion of such an international icon who inspired so many for so many reasons. Beautiful, talented Farrah will never be forgotten by her family and amazing fans."

How Molly Ringwald Got in Oscar Shape after Twins

What's Molly Ringwald's body-after-twins secret?
"I try to make sure that I eat something green," she told PEOPLE on Tuesday at Ragú's Recipe for a Good Start program kickoff in New York. "I think that's just a really good rule of thumb. I love all different kinds of vegetables, but the green ones are generally the best for you and the best for your diet."
Ringwald, 42, stepped out on the Oscar red carpet and stage in a purple Todd Thomas dress over the weekend – eight months after delivering daughter Adele Georgiana and son Roman Stylianos.
When the twins were 6-weeks-old, the star of The Secret Life of the American Teenager began getting back in shape, focusing on moderation.

Jesse James: Sandra Bullock 'Takes My Breath Away'

Jesse James may be a tough guy who builds motorcycles and performs death-defying stunts, but he's not above the pomp of the Oscars – or being a plus-1 to the night's most celebrated actress, his wife Sandra Bullock.
"It's awesome," he told PEOPLE of being her date as they made their way into the Governor's Ball at the Hollywood & Highland Grand Ballroom after the Oscar ceremony Sunday. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to support my wife and her work. She does it all the time for me. She goes to Mexico, to the desert, to the hospital – a lot – to support me and my work. The least I can do is put on a suit and support her."
James may be more comfortable in his garage than on the red carpet, but he was bursting with pride as he checked out his wife and her shimmering, gold-beaded Marchesa gown.
"She's beautiful. She's amazing. She takes my breath away,” James said. "Sometimes I look at her and I do, I just lose my breath."

Inside Madonna & Demi Moore's Oscar Party
Originally posted 03/09/2010 03:05PM
After Sunday's Academy Awards, everyone flocked to Madonna's manager Guy Oseary's L.A. home for a bash hosted by the pop dvia and Demi Moore. There was dancing, a late-night Indian food and tons of A-Listers. Here's what happened inside the party:
• "Madonna danced non-stop for four hours,” says a source. "She and Gabourey [Sidibe] were dancing together at one point. They had a great time." Other stars on the dance floor: Moore, hubby Ashton Kutcher and Diddy, who commandeered the mic throughout the night. At one point, the music mogul stopped the music and said that unless Anderson Cooper started dancing, he wouldn't play any more music. Luckily, the CNN anchor quickly hit the dance floor!
