Why so serious, Scarlett?
Oh, mon dieu. I inadvertently mixed up my lousy actors the other day. Scarlett is married to Ryan Reynolds, not Josh Hartnett. I knew that, but sometimes my fingers fly away from me. Thanks for reading and commenting, Coleen!
I don't have a problem with the dress Scar-Jo wore to the Moet and Chandon: A Tribute to Cinema party last night, per se. It's not really crisp and bubbly — it's much more brut and boring. And, in some photos, the slit in the front gives the illusion that her hem is tucked between her gams. On the whole, though, it fits well and has intriguing scalloped detail:
But — and this is a big but — I just don't get Mrs. Reynolds's new Vampy McVamperstein of Vampyland look. She's a cross between Dita Von Teese (from the Marilyn Manson years — shudder) and Jessica Rabbit. Seriously. No 24-year-old needs this much makeup:
"I am Scarlett, Woody Allen's eye candy. My hair is now auburn and my always-parted lips match my name. Sayonara, blond bombshell Scarlett: the new serious actress Scarlett is moving in. It's my party, and I will Spackle my face with makeup if I want to. Capiche?"
