Mary-Kate Olsen wrote a "stellar" piece for the New York Times about this red bag belonging to sister Ashley:
"Timeless
Brand Loyalty
by Mary-Kate Olsen
I have a large, red quilted Chanel bag that I borrowed from my sister, Ashley. I wore it to an event and never gave it back. Luckily, she's moved on to another bag, so I'm safe for now. I'm not quite sure how many bags I have, but let's just say I have a few. When I find a bag I like, I tend to wear it to death until I become obsessed with another one. This probably happens three to five times a year. But I always come back to the Chanel. The size isn't overwhelming, and it has enough subtle detail to keep it interesting. I also have the smaller version in blue and in white, but the red is definitely my favorite. I don't have a stylist - I'd rather just do my own thing and put together my own outfits. The chain-handle bag is the perfect accent to almost any combination I come up with. I look at everything with a designer's eye, but I wouldn't change a thing about this bag. I think that's why it's a true classic."
Wow. Groundbreaking journalism. What was the point?
Tom Cruise definitely wears the pants in his relationship with Katie Holmes, if the couple's behavior at last night's Vanity Fair party is an indication. As the pair arrived at the fete, Cruise tried to force Holmes to pose solo for pictures, telling photographers, "Take a shot of her." According to a witness, his bride refused (though this doesn't make sense to me since there are plenty of pictures floating around of Holmes on her own last night). Cruise reportedly stopped to greet a few photographers but didn't introduce Holmes, who stood quietly beside him waiting for him to finish his conversations. The pair then made their way into the party with Cruise pulling Holmes around by the hand while he mingled and she stayed mum. "She looks at him for direction," said an onlooker.
According to Us Weekly, Kirsten Dunst might have had an eleventh-hour realization about her Oscar dress. Bumping into the Spider-Man actress on her way to the bathroom last night, Dunst told the mag, "I love this dress. Isn't it pretty?" of her Chanel ensemble, which showed up on more than a few worst-dressed lists today. Once back in the theater, Dunst was seen tugging at her frock, and reportedly told her friend, "I don't really feel relaxed. I don't want to spill water on this dress or you can see through it." Shortly before hitting the stage with Tobey Maguire to present, the Marie Antoinette star said to her friend, "I want to get this over with so I can relax. I can't f**k up my speech. I am presenting Best Screenplay and it will be career suicide if I f**k it up! I really need water. I just want to get out of here already!"

Fellow Promises patient Daniel Baldwin describes Britney Spears as "a little fearful" after meeting the popstar in Malibu. "I told her if she needed anything or if she wanted me to bring anything to her where she's at, I'd be happy to come see her," Baldwin said at an Oscar party this weekend. "She's doing great, she looks great. She seemed like she was a little fearful. I mean, she's a young girl - I have kids older than her. I think that she knows that she needs some help, and God bless her. All we can do is pray. That is what I want people to do. Pray for her... One thing I mentioned to her is if you took a look at how much effort you put into going out - at least for me - going out and using and doing the things we do, compared to how much effort you need to do to stay sober, it's infinitesimal on a comparison basis." Boy I bet she's glad she's getting advice from this guy...
Amid all the Oscar buzz this weekend, word has leaked that Hugh Hefner and girlfriend #1, Holly Madison, will wed before the end of the year. "This is very secret, but the word is 'yes,'" says an insider. "Hef has decided he will marry Holly, and he wants it for his show, The Girls Next Door. Hef thinks business all the time, and looks for a new hook, although he also does really love Holly." Hef was reportedly hoping to keep the wedding plans secret in fear that monogamy would kill the appeal of his reality show. This would be the third marriage for the Playboy magnate.
