Madonna Holds Last-Minute Pre-Oscar Party
Madonna Holds Last-Minute Pre-Oscar Party
Prior to the end of the writers’ strike, most of the regular pre-Oscar parties were cancelled. But never fear! Madonna, her manager Guy Oseary, and Demi Moore came up with a last-minute solution, and stars like Owen Wilson, Eva Mendes, and Christian Slater showed up in droves.
Fresh out of the Cirque Lodge Rehab Center in Orem, Utah, Eva Mendes showed her face at the CAA shindig, wearing a black and white belted dress complete with black knee-high leather boots and a black jacket.
A recently reclusive Owen Wilson also made an appearance at Madonna’s party. The “Wedding Crashers” stud wasn’t too keen on having his picture taken, though. He covered his face to avoid the paparazzi getting a clear shot of him.
And Christian Slater had his party gear on, sporting a slick dark suit overtop a brilliant blue collared shirt. He brought his Sharpie along for any autograph seekers.
Also making appearances were Casey Affleck, John Mayer, Jared Leto, Sean Penn, Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane, among others.

Jennifer Ansiton’s Bikini Backrub
Jennifer Ansiton’s Bikini Backrub
While Jennifer Ansiton has been busy shooting her new romantic comedy Marley & Me with Owen Wilson and Eric Dane, the former Friends actress hasn’t gone without her moments of relaxation while posted up in Miami, Florida.
As previously reported by , the 39-year-old enjoyed a bikini-laden outing over the weekend - complete with a topless backrub from her gal pal.
Meanwhile, recent rumors claim that Aniston is also busy working on a tell-all book, which is said to reveal intimate details of her divorce with Brad Pitt.
According to tabloid reports, Jen was allegedly going to meet Brad and his fiance Angelina Jolie at a pre-Oscars party to discuss the ‘break-up chapter’ - but the couple pulled out at the last minute.
A source told the Daily Star: “This book could ruin Angelina and Brad. Jen will prove that the pen really is mightier than the sword.”
Charlie’s Got That Newlywed Sheen
Perhaps the third time will be the charm for Charlie Sheen.
E! News confirms that the Two and a Half Men star swapped vows with live-in love Brooke Mueller Friday in front of about 60 people at a private estate in the gated Los Angeles community of Beverly Park.
All dolled up for the occasion were Sheen’s two daughters with ex-wife Denise Richards, Sam, 4, and Lola, who will be 3 next month.
The actor’s ever-supportive dad, Martin Sheen, and mom Janet were also in attendance, along with pals Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart.
Mueller, 30, donned a simple ivory gown for the occasiona nod to what a source tells us was Sheen’s wish for a low-key affair, which also included instructions to the gents to leave their ties at home.
However, providing plenty of glam all by itself was the custom-made $500,000, 11-carat ring that the real-estate investor has been sporting since Sheen popped the question during a trip to Costa Rica last July.
“It is a canary-yellow, flawless diamond,” the man responsible for the finger candy, jeweler Lord Alon Barak, told “Charlie really went above and beyond.”
This was the third trip down the aisle for Sheen, 42, and the first for Mueller.
But just because the nuptials were on the casual side didn’t mean the bride wasn’t primed to look her best, making a last-minute stop Thursday at dermatologist-to-the-stars Dr. Harold Lancer, presumably to make sure her complexion would be picture-perfect for the big day.
“She was so excited. She told everyone in the waiting room that she was getting married,” an eyewitness told News. “She said, ‘I’m so excited, I’m getting married tomorrow!’
“She looked beautiful and was glowing; she was so happy.”
Mueller met Sheen about two years ago at a Victoria’s Secret party hosted by Gayheart, who in turn was spotted Sunday at her gal-pal’s bridal shower at the Warehouse Restaurant in Marina del Rey.
While Mueller’s friends plied her with goodies, wedding guests were asked to give donations to Chrysalis, a charity that aids victims of domestic abuse, in lieu of presents.
The newlyweds are expected to attend the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball tomorrow night in Beverly Hills, meaning a good cause is trumping the honeymoon, at least for this weekend.
Eric Dane Loses His Mane
McSteamy must be anticipating a steamy summer. At least that’s the buzz.
Just back from New York, Eric Dane was seen making his way out of an L.A. gym Tuesday sporting a new, much shorter, haircut.
The scrubs stud probably thought it would be safe to shear off his lovely locks, given that the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy airs Thursday night.
Either that or he finally realized that when it comes to trying to outdo Patrick Dempsey’s ’do, you just can’t win.
