Hilary Swank |

This year's Academy Awards were all about sleek sophistication and old Hollywood glamour when it came to the wardrobe. Even Melissa and Joan Rivers struggled to find some flukes, eventually declaring that they had chosen no Worst Dressed. Without doubt, though, the dress that made the biggest impression was Hilary Swank's navy blue Guy Laroche. Opting for long sleeves and an exposed back, the Best Actress winner stood out among a sea of strapless looks. The jury is still out on the gown, with Swank topping many best and worst dressed looks.
Trends at the show included solid colors, trains, strapless tops and gold. Actresses who favored the train notably included Renee Zellweger in Carolina Herrera, Sophie Okonedo in Rochas, Salma Hayek in Prada and Charlize Theron in Dior. Gold wasn't just seen on Oscar this year. It was the color of choice for many an attendee like Oprah in Vera Wang, Gwyneth Paltrow in Stella McCartney, Penelope Cruz in Oscar de la Renta and Star Jones. Nearly every lady was seen in strapless and solid colors.

Many of Hollywood's top A-listers have seen their relationships in full meltdown mode due to the conflict between the man wanting a baby and the woman not stomaching the thought of diapers. Pitt and Aniston, Stamos and Romijn; now there are reports that Gavin Rossdale wants a child but his wife Gwen Stefani isn't having any of it. Rossdale, the lead singer for the unfortunately-named group Bush, says to Gwen "After you give birth, just drop the child off with me and I'll take him or her on tour." If that's their idea of good parenting, we hope they do not get pregnant. (By Scott Rose)

Pope John Paul II |

Pope John Paul II made a surprise appearance from a hospital window Sunday, waving to the faithful just after a top Vatican official on the steps of St. Peter's Basilica read a statement from the pontiff asking for prayers. The 84-year-old pope was wheeled to a hospital window and blessed the crowd by making the sign of the cross in clear gestures reports ABC news. John Paul, recovering from a throat operation to ease a breathing crisis, touched his throat during the minute-long appearance but seemed to be in ok form. John Paul's appearance surprised many of the roughly 200 people who had gathered under his window to pray for him and show their support. The pope's appearance came after he missed Sunday prayers for the first time in his 26-year papacy. He showed up in the window moments after the Vatican undersecretary of state, Archbishop Leonardo Sandri, read a statement from John Paul asking for prayers.

Michael Jackson |

Judge Rodney S. Melville ruled on Friday that Michael Jackson's defense team can show evidence that the mother of his accuser had made previous abuse claims against her ex-husband and security guards. Defense attorneys want to use that evidence in claiming that the woman, who is called Jane Doe in court, pressured her son into lying in order to get money from the 46-year-old pop singer. Jackson's lawyers say they will show that "Jane Doe" accused J.C. Penney security guards of groping her after the family was detained at the department store on suspicion of shoplifting. She later sued over the incident and ultimately won $150,000 in a legal settlement.
The ruling concluded a busy week in trial during which the 12-person jury and eight-person alternate jury were selected reports Newsbug.com
The judge also announced that opening statements would be heard on Monday in the Santa Maria, California courthouse.
The 46-year-old Jackson is accused of molesting a 13-year-old boy at his Neverland Ranch.
