The Hollywood Film Festival awards gala was held last night in Beverly Hills, and we would have admittedly given our right arm to be there. Look at all those pretty men! There's Christian Bale, obviously, and Ryan Gosling, James Franco and Josh Brolin — and two newbies to keep your eyes on, Robert Pattinson (who will be starring in the upcoming Twilight film) and Chris Pine (who will play Captain Kirk in the Star Trek movie). We don't even care that Angelina Jolie made a surprise appearance to pay tribute to Clint Eastwood — there's too much pretty elsewhere.

We finally get a sneak peek of Oliver Stone’s W, the G.W. Bush biopic that has been in the news lately due to the Louisiana arrest of stars Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright, now that the first trailer has hit YouTube. All I have to say is this: Bush lovers, the few that are left, of course, are going to hate this. Oh, and I didn’t believe it was possible to make Thandie Newton look like Condi Rice.
A spokesman for the Shreveport Police Department, whose officers were recently involved in the high-profile arrests of actors Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright, says that Shreveport police exhibited nothing but "professionalism" while arresting the W stars, and that there's no proof of any officer calling Wright a "nigger," as has been alleged. "And if y'all Hollywood faggots don't believe me," the spokesman added, "y'all can kiss my lily-white ass, y'heah?" (J/K!)
Even more new information about that Josh Brolin-Jeffrey Wright bar brawl in Shreveport, Louisiana: TMZ is reporting that the "slur" mentioned in our earlier post came not from a fellow bar patron, but Brolin and Wright's arresting officers, who tased and pepper-sprayed the two actors before calling Wright a "nigger."
Update: Actually, both rowdy bar patrons and police officers called Wright a nigger. Nice to hear Louisianans of all stripes finding unity after Katrina.
Oh, The South, what are we gonna do with you?
That scuffle with Shreveport, Louisiana locals and police officers that resulted in the arrests of Josh Brolin, Jeffrey Wright and several others associated with the film W? Turns out it began after a good ol' Looziana boy hurled a racial slur at Wright.
Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright, who are currently filming Oliver Stone's W, were arrested with four others involved with the film after cops were called to a Shreveport, Louisiana bar to deal with a rowdy patron. That patron was Brolin.
Christian Bale has signed on to act in a trilogy of upcoming Terminator sequels, beginning with the in-production Terminator Salvation.
Bale will be handsoming up the part of John Connor, a role originated by an angsty Edward Furlong and then sort of ruined by Nick Stahl.
Josh Brolin is rumored to be playing Bale's mortal enemy, the Terminator, in the trilogy.
Think they'll kiss each other?
Here's the first picture to surface of Josh Brolin and Elizabeth Banks as George W and Laura Bush in W.
Nice resemblance; too bad the Oliver Stone film's script seems to have been written by a Freshman English major with a chip on his shoulder.
No Country for Old Men star Josh Brolin encountered a homeless person as he left a medical center yesterday in LA. Unlike 99 percent of us, Josh stopped to talk to the person, even giving out hugs and kisses without making it look like a publicity stunt.

Vanity Fair is this month running yet another celebrity photo shoot and, guess what? For once, it's cool!
The concept was to recreate famous scenes from Alfred Hitchcock films and some of the resultant shots are beautiful. Finally, an idea good enough that it makes Annie Leibovitz and her dozen assistants seem interesting.
Also at the Screen Actors Guild Awards this year was the fiery Josh Brolin, who took the stage with the rest of the No Country for Old Men cast when they won for best ensemble. Brolin, who saw his career revitalized in 2007 with roles in Old Men and American Gangster, seemed to feel personally responsible for the award, telling co-star Woody Harrelson to "back off" when Harrelson suggested he thank the movie's directors, the Coen brothers, and asserting "this is my fricking moment." Good for him.

GQ held their annual Men of the Year awards soirée last evening at Hollywood's famed Chateau Marmont.
Fun fact: Very few Men of the Year at the Men of the Year party. Is their shunning of such crap the key to their glory? Maybe!
Nevertheless, the aggregation of celebrities was thicker than 18-year-old Hayden Panettiere's makeup. Even Rumer Willis was there!!!!!!! Click through to see.
