Olivia Wilde makes an appearance on two March covers – Town & Country and Angeleno magazine. I can’t find any good usable images from T&C, so we’ll just make do with the Angeleno photo shoot, which I think it pretty but boring, much like Ol’ Cockburn herself. Olivia is not talking about her newish relationship with Jason Sudeikis, but she is still talking about her divorce – she keeps bringing it up because she can no longer drop “I’m a princess!” into her interviews. I’m surprised she doesn’t start conversations with “I used to be a princess!” Here are some highlights from her Town & Country interview:

On Jason Sudeikis: She says she has a boyfriend in the “entertainment world,” but won’t confirm that it’s “SNL” star Jason Sudeikis. “[He’s] in a much more interesting part of the business than I am. If I have a drink with a guy, it becomes an affair.“

Post-divorce: “I put on a few extra pounds… But I’m trying to be healthier now.” Previously, she said, “I got a divorce and self-medicated with food. But I figure that’s better than self-medicating with crack cocaine.”

Feeling like a failure: “When you go through a breakup, you lose faith for a while. It makes you feel like such a failure, but I think this whole traumatic year has made me a better actor. And the good thing about getting divorced young – if there is a good thing – is that it makes you realize there’s no schedule in life. It blasts you wide open and frees you to be honest with yourself.”

On her impulsive elopement at the age of 18: “The danger is that you evolve over the years and find yourself in a different place.”

On her ex: “Tao was, and is, totally involved with his work, and for me there’s nothing sexier than a man who is busy and obsessed with what he’s doing. I guess I saw that in my parents’ marriage. They had real respect for their work and for each other.”

An early connection to SNL: “My dad took me to see Saturday Night Live as a birthday treat, and I knew at that moment that this was what I wanted to do,” she says.

A George Clooney story: Later, as a teen, Wilde remembers having lunch with George Clooney on the set of The Peacemaker, the 1997 movie for which her parents, Leslie and Andrew Cockburn, wrote the screenplay. “Having George Clooney be the first Hollywood actor I met set a pretty high standard,” she said. “He’s genuinely sincere, smart, gracious, and I like his politics, too, which always helps.”

On Hugh Laurie: “I spent four years on House and learned so much from Hugh. I owe my entire film career to him. I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I am now without Hugh and the series. It was the first time I’d been allowed to play somebody not defined by my looks.”

I did notice that Olivia had gained some weight, and I really liked the way she looked too – she got a little bit more in the bust, and her hips and butt “filled out” a bit, and in my opinion, she looked even prettier. I understand that the weight gain came from post-divorce depression, but she should still consider keeping on a few extra pounds. As for the Clooney story – I wouldn’t mind Clooney and Ol’ Cockburn as a couple. Right? He likes women with a bigger bust, true, but he could always buy Olivia some new boobs. Other than that, I think they would make an interesting match.

Kaiser’s already covered some of the attendees at this weekend’s Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala: Angelina Jolie’s Elie Saab sack jumpsuit, Michelle Williams’ quaint Prada, and Stacy Keibler’s busted McQueen. Now here’s a handful of other actors in attendance, starting with Jessica Chastain in a shiny green Prabal Gurung dress with some sort of odd black panelling around the midsection. To start, I do like the color of the dress, which provides a nice contrast against her fair skin and ginger hair. However, the cut is all wrong because the deep v-neck is quite drastic as is the straight up-and-down shape of the shoulders, and the overall effect is blocky and unflattering. Also, the black panels look pretty awkward and make the entire dress look like something under my Christmas tree. Seriously and as the worst gift wrapper ever, I am notorious for using little patches of random colors to fill in holes after failing to measure out enough paper. While it works for gifts that are instantly wrapped open by an eager kid who doesn’t know the difference, it’s not exactly a good look for a dress.

Here’s Olivia Wilde, who presented while wearing a black Monique Lhuillier dress with lace detailing scoops on one side. Her jewelry was Cartier, and her hair was underdone, but the makeup looked nice.

Al Pacino showed up too, but let’s be entirely honest and admit to not caring about who designed his suit. We don’t even need to see the suit. Instead, all the buzz should be about that thing on his head. Behold “the thing.” This isn’t really a Sean Penn situation where one wonders whether plugs or a toupee is responsible for the mess. I mean, no one would intentionally pay for what’s going on with Al’s head, right? So I’m assuming that this nonsense is all natural, and the black bandana is merely Al’s way of asserting his right to look like a total slob.

Oh Al, you used to be such a dreamboat. Now I’m just grateful that you left the blue nail polish at home.

Moving right along, here’s Melissa McCarthy in a royal blue dress that comes from her own plus-sized design line. She looks good, but the neck of the dress looks a bit uncomfortable.

Glenn Close looked positively stunning in deep blue as well. I especially love the sleeves of this dress and how well it flows right down to the very bottom:

Finally, here’s Jean Dujardin looking like he wants to creep into your soul. Or maybe your pants. He’s delicious.

This looks like a photo shoot, doesn’t it? I’m not saying Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis arranged to be photographed in this “Official New Couple Portraits: Loved Up On The New York City Streets Edition” way. Maybe it was just some weird coincidence. After all, people know that Jason and Olivia are dating – they’ve been seeing each other for about… two months or so. It was about a month ago when Us Weekly reported that they were a full-on couple.

Olivia spent most of the last year sowing her wild oats after her divorce from an Italian (hipster) prince. She dated Ryan Gosling, briefly, and she was associated with Bradley Cooper and Justin Timberlake too. There were other dudes in the mix, but I can’t remember them off the top of my head. It doesn’t really matter – she was just playing around, and none of it seemed serious. But this kind of photo op with Jason? That seems more serious. And I’m not sure how to feel about it.

Jason’s dating history is a bit more complicated. He was married, and the divorce dragged on for a while. While he was dealing with that, some said he and Jennifer Aniston had a fling, although Jason denied it – harshly. Then he hooked up with January Jones for a while, and they seemed to still be dating each other casually when she got knocked up – by another (married?) man, allegedly. Since January Jones, Jason has been playing the field, and Olivia might be his first “relationship” in a year.

At the end of the day, I kind of find Olivia and Jason to be a boring couple. It feels like Olivia went out, played the field, and got disappointed by the lack of opportunities, so she just settled for Jason. Maybe he’s a really nice guy… but he seems like he might have a streak of douche. Oh, well. Good luck, Cockburn.

Ever since Olivia “I’m a Princess!” Wilde (otherwise known as Ol’ Cockburn) left her prince husband Tao Ruspoli, she’s been out and about, hanging out with every available dude she can find. She was spotted on a date with Ryan Gosling. She and Bradley Cooper were closely associated. She might have boned Justin Timberlake at some point. And maybe Ryan Reynolds was in the mix too? I think there were others as well. Anyway, part of me kind of liked that Ol’ Cockburn didn’t jump into another serious relationship right away – she had been with the same dude since she was 18. It was time for her to experiment and get a wide variety of strange. Another part of me was like, “Oh, girl. Set some standards for the dong. Don’t just go home with any dude who needs a beard.” Well, according to Us Weekly, Olivia is settling down with a dong. And I don’t hate her choice, although I don’t think it will last:

How funny! Olivia Wilde has been romantically linked to frequent Saturday Night Live guest star Justin Timberlake, but now the In Time actress is dating a full-time cast member on the show: Jason Sudeikis!

A source tells the new Us Weekly — on stands Friday — that Wilde, 27, and Sudeikis, 36, haven’t been shy about their new romance. The SNL funnyman brought Wilde to the show’s afterparty at NYC’s Loi on Dec. 4. “They walked in holding hands,” says a source.

“She’s come to the [SNL] studio at Rockefeller Center, and they’ve gone out to dinner after rehearsals,” adds an insider.

Wilde, whose divorce with Tao Ruspoli was finalized in October, has also been romantically linked to Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds.

Sudeikis dated Mad Men’s January Jones for six months before the duo split in January 2011. He was previously married to actress and 30 Rock writer Kay Cannon.

I tend to think Jason Sudeikis is kind of a dick, and he’s not really “forever dong” material, but he’s good for a five-month relationship. And then she’ll want to find some new strange and he’ll want to move on to whatever new, younger piece is waiting for him. I find my perception of Jason is so skewed because he and January Jones lasted for six months and I don’t understand how any man can sustain a relationship with her cold vanilla bitchery. Is it because she’s blonde and she has big boobs? Back to Olivia – is Jason a good choice for the girl that wants to be a big movie star? Not really, but this is where Olivia finds herself now – so many of the films she was in flopped, she’s not going to “breakout” in starring roles any time soon, so why not date another supporting player? It makes sense.

Here are even more photos from the LACMA event honoring Clint Eastwood. For some reason, Uma Thurman left NYC to come out to LA to do this event. Look… I like Uma, I really do. I think she’s cool and pretty and well-adjusted for a movie star. But Uma has been bugging me lately because I feel like she goes to opening of an envelope these days. Like, she says “yes” to every invitation. Not only that, but she’s started really overdressing for events too. Like, most women at this event were in cocktail dresses, but there were a few simple gowns. Uma went all out in a giant silk skirt WITH A BUSTLE and a fug blouse. It’s overkill for the event, I think. Plus, the outfit is just kind of ugly together. The old Uma, Uma Circa 1998, would have paired a giant bustle-skirt with a cropped, sequined McQueen bustier, and it would have been daring and interesting. This just feels old and Victorian, like she’s in costume.

Speaking of overdressing, Olivia Wilde is really trying to make it happen. This Gucci dress is gorge, don’t get me wrong, and it’s maybe my favorite thing ever on Olivia. But to this event? Once again, it’s overkill. This is the kind of dress she should wear to the Golden Globes, not to an event for a director you’ve never worked with. She does look beautiful, though, so she gets more points than Uma. Incidentally, did Olivia get new boobs? She was flat as a pancake before.

Last night was the LA premiere for In Time, and I’ve just figured out the biggest problem with marketing this film as I stared at the photos – the film doesn’t include a star who people are simply excited to see. Justin Timberlake is the “star”… but people don’t care enough about him to, say, “go to a Justin Timberlake film.” The other man-meat in the film involved Vincent Kartheiser, whom I adore but most people don’t know, and Matt Bomer, who is probably the most interesting person in the cast (he’s so interesting that I’m devoting a separate post to him later).

As far as ladies who will get asses in theater seats, we have Amanda Seyfried, one of the better young actresses in Hollywood, but still not really a “name”, and Olivia Wilde, who has become the Typhoid Mary of box office bombs this year. So let’s just do a straight-up fashion post about Olivia and Amanda, and how they can’t even wear anything attention-getting at the premiere. Amanda wore this cream and purple Prabal Gurung cocktail dress which is… pretty. Not amazing, not bad. I feel like it’s the wrong color for her? She might have been better off wearing all-purple, but this is okay.

Meanwhile, Olivia wore this Yigal Azrouël Spring 2012 gown. I think the back is sexy, but from the front… you miss the details, and it looks like she’s just wearing a black sack. Plus, I dislike her hair and her makeup makes her look really, really druggy. So, I guess Amanda wins.

I’m also including pics of Vincent Kartheiser and Justin. Vincent is so cute, and JT is so not. Justin always looks like such a dork to me. Do women ever actually get hot for him?

Just a little while ago, CB wrote about Jennifer Garner’s appearance at the TIFF premiere of her new film, Butter. Jennifer looked cute in a pink cocktail dress, maternity style. Go here to review Garner’s ensemble – it was very appropriate and nice for a TIFF premiere. Unfortunately, Jennifer’s costar Olivia Wilde went all-out in this full-length Marchesa gown which… dear God. It’s too much. Aesthetically, it’s just too much gold, too much white sack action, too much sparkle and too gaudy and cheap-looking, which is pretty typical of Marchesa, in my opinion. But then we have to ask: was this appropriate for a TIFF premiere? Is Olivia Wilde a big enough star where she can get away with wearing a full-length gown and attempting to steal the spotlight from the film’s true star, Jennifer Garner? No, Olivia is not. Olivia is the new Kate Beckinsale. The over-dressed, try-hard fashion girl/actress.

Here’s Ashley Greene, fresh off of trying to ride Gerard Butler’s jock a few nights ago. Ashley wore Oscar de la Renta. Some of these girls… they make impeccably designed and tailored clothes look cheap. It’s just Ashley’s face, and her vibe. She’s wearing de la Renta, but it feels like she’s posing in a bikini on a men’s magazine.

And here’s Alicia Silverstone, also at the premiere. Meh on her outfit too.

BUMP-IT. That’s all I could think about when I looked through these photos of the London Cowboys and Aliens premiere. Olivia Wilde is bumping it. Look at her hair! Her hair is not her best asset, but surely, she can come up with better options than either bangs trauma or bump-its.

Once I got past the hair, I did notice her dress, and yes, I can see the side-boob. Olivia wants us to look at the side-boob, which is weird, because she doesn’t have much to look at. I applaud her for being natural and proud, but seeing girls walk a red carpet braless, or without anything containing their puppies, it just makes me angry-jealous. Because I never could do that. The dress is Gucci, by the way. And I dislike it, mostly because I remember this style growing up. Back in the 1980s, every adult woman working in any kind of business setting had a blouse exactly like the top part of this dress. Something semi-sheer, with a gigantic bow/ruffle/faux-scarf thing that just added absurd extra weight to a woman’s neck and chest. Go back and watch 9 to 5 – every woman had this blouse. As a modern look… eh. It’s not right for a summer premiere, but seasonal issues aside, it’s still a pretty fug dress. I’m not a polka dot person, though, so this whole thing is just a flurry of 80s fugness, polka dot fugness, and bump-its.

I will give Olivia credit for two things though – the girl looks great with red lips, and she has a gorgeous profile.

More photos – Daniel Craig looks hot, and Harrison Ford is two seconds away from yelling at everybody.

I’m quite content to blame Olivia Wilde for the respective box office failures/disappointments of The Change-Up and Cowboys & Aliens. Sure, there are lots of people you could blame, but what do those two movies have in common? Bangs-Trauma Cockburn. Still, Olivia continues to book movie after movie for whatever reason, so there’s going to be at least a three-year lag before her movie career goes belly-up when people realize that she’s like the Typhoid Mary of box office disappointments. She’s even rumored to be taking over the Linda Lovelace role in some version of Lovelace’s life story (no word on whether it’s the same project that Linnocent was involved with).

Anyway, these are new photos of Olivia at the Berlin premiere of Cowboys & Aliens. I guess Olivia, Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford are going to be doing a lot of press in Europe, and probably Asia too, just so this damn film breaks even. Instead of trying to sex it up and sell it that way, Olivia looks like the odd man out – even Daniel seems to be holding her at a distance, like he knows she’s bad news. Olivia’s dress is Tom Ford, and it’s… kind of boring.

Meanwhile, Daniel seems to be clutching Harrison Ford lovingly. And Harrison looks like he doesn’t give a good goddamn about any of this. What’s up with Harrison’s hair, by the way? It looks like a piece from some angles.

Ryan Reynolds was on The Tonight Show last night promoting The Change Up, which is one of those body switching movies about a single guy (Reynolds) changing places with a married guy (Jason Bateman). It looks dumb and predictable, and it’s written by the guys who brought us the Hangover movies. The director, David Dobkin, did Wedding Crashers and Fred Claus so it’s not like this is going to be groundbreaking or particularly funny, but I could be wrong.

During his interview Ryan told so many funny self deprecating stories. (You can watch it on NBC.com if you’re in the US.) It’s been a while since I’ve seen an interview with him, and he was just so entertaining. First he talked about how he had some trials and tribulations while filming The Change Up in Atlanta. His first trailer caught fire, his second trailer flooded, his hotel room flooded, then he very quickly glossed over the detail that he split up with then-wife Scarlet Johansson at the time. It was clever the way he rattled it off. “It snowballed. My hotel room flooded, my dog got sick, came down with a slight case of divorce and I broke my pinky finger.” He said it like that very quickly as if it were his dog that got divorced and not him.

He told another story about how he got hit by a drunk driver and sent to the hospital with broken bones when he was 19 – after he had decided to walk home from the bar instead of driving. (He was in Canada at the time, where the “drinking age is six,” he explained.) Then we heard about how he jumped off a bridge in Zurich and broke a vertebrae in his back. His friend jumped, but “I dove, because I’m clinically dumb.”

The best anecdote from Ryan was about how Olivia Wilde’s pasties came off during a sex scene he was filming with her.
“In the scene I take her top off… She has these pasties, but she’s drawn these adorable little smiley faces on them. And I forget every line in the scene… I’m nervous… At some point at the end of the scene she takes my hands and puts them on her breasts. So they’re there, palms are a little sweaty. At the end of the scene I take them off. I’m trying not to look at her like a 14 year-old boy who just won the lady lottery.

“I take my hands away and I look down at my hands and there’s two frickin’ smiley faces. I have no idea what to do, so the scene is over now. I reflexively like an idiot just put my hands back on her breasts. I think I’m doing it like to cover them up, but I’m realizing right now it’s a very fine line between chivalry and workplace sexual assault. Thank God someone comes in with a towel.”

The dude is a natural entertainer that’s for sure. He surely practiced all those stories but he came prepared and his delivery was excellent.

At the premiere for the movie last night, Ryan’s maybe ex-hookup and good friend Sandra Bullock came to support him. (She also could have been there for a producer named Jonathon Komack Martin, who works on The George Lopez show, which she also producers.) The two looked very comfortable together and happy to see each other. Bullock wore a black jumpsuit. I’m not a fan of that look for her, particularly the boob ruffle, but at least the pants aren’t baggy as we’ve seen with so many other jumpsuits lately. The shoes are gorgeous and understated too. Her hair and makeup were so pretty.

Olivia Wilde wore this red Antonio Berardi dress with pointy shoulder pads. The dress itself is bizarre but not that bad. The bright red shoes have got to go. This isn’t a wedding or a prom, you don’t need to match your shoes to your dress! Plus the color is off. She’s cute though. Kaiser wants me to mention the bangs trauma. I’m not a bangs fan either but it’s a decent look for her.

And Leslie Mann wore this gladiator-style white dress with a matching braided belt. Why are sparkly shoulders so popular? At least this isn’t as bad as the dress Anna Paquin wore to the 2010 Emmys. I’m always reminded of that dress when I see this style.

Oh and I can’t forget Jason Bateman!
