Vote for Your Favorite Tony Award Jewel




The Tony Awards were full of surprises last night, not the least of which was Bret Michaels' near-death run-in with a descending set piece during the opening number. Oh, Bret...

But my favorite part of the night was gawking at the red carpet jewels. From diamonds and gemstones to silver and gold - all categories were present and accounted for.

What's your favorite Tony jewelry statement? Is it classic Anne Hathaway in diamond clusters? A sultry Gina Gershon in vintage Fred Leighton? Or maybe you're partial to glam rock chic? Weigh in with your vote in the poll at the right, jewelry hounds!

And I couldn't resist putting the Bret Michaels moment from YouTube here for your viewing pleasure. Not to worry. He isn't seriously injured, but as the quick-witted host, Neil Patrick Harris, wisely cracked:

"He's given a whole new meaning to head banger"

Brad Pitt's Diamond Daughter


So you’re turning three. You’re thinking a doll, a stuffed animal, maybe a little cake might be nice from mom and dad. But if you’re the first biological child of the world’s most powerful couple – you don’t get a little party hat and a Sponge Bob DVD.

You get diamonds. And lots of ‘em.

Proud poppa, Brad Pitt, threw down a lot of cash at Neil Lane’s fab jewelry boutique in Los Angeles last week for his little blonde beauty, and walked away with not one but TWO diamond and platinum necklaces for Shiloh reportedly worth over $15,000.

Not to be outshined, US Magazine reports that Brad presented mom-gelina with a little bling of her own - namely a pricey Neil Lane charm bracelet decorated with mini gold and diamond jet planes.

To symbolize the emotional distance that now stands between them? Or maybe just to praise her piloting skills. Is there anything this woman doesn't do?

Apparently not. She's been listed as the most powerful celebrity in the world according to Forbes Magazine (yes, including the big O, folks), so it's probably best that Brad keep up with the...um...kissing up.

Jewelry Shines at The Hangover Premiere


The tiny pendant trend made a glittering showing in Los Angeles at The Hangover premiere last night, as Tinseltown’s finest came out in droves to support the broad comedy.




Kate Walsh and Kristen Bell decided to go big with statement necklaces to light up their minis. But the remaining celebs kept things on the down low, as the film’s star Heather Graham, comedic actress, Rachael Harris, and Sasha Baresse all added a little sparkle with barely-there pendants - a look that's popping up quite a bit these days on the red carpet.



Other shining stars included a taut and toned Cheryl Hines in layered pearl strands, Audrina Patridge in yellow gold hoops and Jamie Lynn Sigler in simple leaf earrings (and on the arm of Entourage’s Turtle. Are they really a couple? Weird.).



Hitting theaters this Friday, The Hangover is a Las Vegas-set comedy centered around three groomsmen who lose their about-to-be-wed buddy during their drunken misadventures, then have to retrace their steps in order to find him.

Might be a nice high-brow outing after watching the car crash that was Speidi on I’m A Celebrity Get Me out of Here, last night. When you start thinking Janice Dickenson is the only sane one on the island, you know you've hit a new low.
