Ricky Martin, Brooks & Dunn, Tim Robbins, Cate Blanchett, Angela Bassett, Howie Mandel and the late George Harrison are among the celebrities who will be honored next year with Hollywood Walk of Fame stars.
Also being honored? The Munchkins (from "The Wizard of Oz"), Christina Aguilera, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Could be worse, but diablo - is VH1 filming this ceremony for a shorter season of The Surreal Life?
Last night, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala in NYC brought out the usual suspects: the Olsens, Cam Diaz, J-Lo, Random Man-date, etc.
Only two characters, however, caught our deficient attention:
Cate Blanchett and John Mayer.
John looks much better than he has in the last 27 months or so, even if the look was CLEARLY modeled after Orlando Bloom (sans basic genetic makeup).
We won't bother showing Jessica Simpson (get over it: Mayer's still dating her) because - seriously - we're sick and tired of her puppies being out and about. Yes, you're a great mother, Jess, you've fed them well, and you'll fatten a baby some day, but for now, wear some decency.
Cate, on the other hand - WTF? Usually flawless, often sound in her boldness, always tolerable. Until now."The Craft" was a product of the times; which is to say, not to be repeated. Cate's involvement with "Lord of the Rings" essentially ended when it began, so no refuge there, either. So frustrating. And so skeletal.
We ain't buying what she's selling, unless it's the one thing that would explain her choice, in which case we'll take two baggies.
