Anderson Cooper: Leave Anne Hathaway Alone!


He’s always ready with an encouraging word, and Anderson Cooper has taken up for Anne Hathaway in the wake of some Oscar speech criticism.
The “Anderson Today” host blasted haters for giving the “Get Smart” gal grief over her Best Supporting Actress acceptance speech at the 85th Academy Awards last weekend.
Cooper declared, "In our morning meeting today, we were talking about this and the level of hatred people have towards Anne Hathaway; I had no idea. She seems like a perfectly lovely person.”
“I don't understand. She's incredibly talented, she seems like a lovely person, I think she's been through a lot. People have all these judgments about her; they don't know what she's really like… It upset me, because so many of the people on my staff today were like, 'Ugh, that speech she gave at the Oscars, it was so perfect.'"
"First of all, you know what a bad speech at the Oscars is? Everybody else's speech—when they are like, 'I want to thank my Uncle Mordecai, my agent, my management team.' That's a bad speech. She got up there, she made eye contact, she remembered people's names without reading it. I mean, give her a break," he added.
"The amount of pressure she must feel knowing all these people hate her—give her a break; she seems like a lovely young person. Again, people form all these opinions on people based on nothing. You have no actual evidence."

Seth MacFarlane: One and Done as Oscars Host


He’s been receiving mixed reviews of his hosting performance at Sunday’s 85th Academy Awards, and Seth MacFarlane says he had a blast with the gig.
However, despite boosting ratings this time around, the “Family Guy” guru has no desire to repeat his appearance at the Oscars.
When asked on Twitter if he’d consider hosting again, MacFarlane definitively declared, “No way. Lotta fun to have done it, though.”
One of Seth’s especially spicy zingers during the Oscars came when he was discussing Ben Affleck in “Argo.” He blurted out, "First time I saw him with all that dark facial hair, I thought 'My God, the Kardashians have finally made the jump to film.'"

Adele Glams Up Governor’s Ball Post-Oscars


She’s definitely the darling of awards shows, and Adele showed up at the Governor’s Ball in Hollywood after the Oscars last night (February 24).
The “Chasing Pavements” chick hammed it up with Barbara Streisand and Shirley Bassey at the Hollywood & Highland Center following her big win at the 85th Academy Awards.
And though she’s won approximately 105 trophies throughout her career, Adele’s victory in the Best Original Song category (for her hit ‘Skyfall’) was her crowning achievement thus far.
During her acceptance speech, she fought back tears while declaring, “Thank you so much. This is amazing.” Adele also thanked her management team and co-writer Paul Epworth before concluding, “And my man. I love you baby!”
