Scarlett Johansson wasted no time in debuting her engagement ring from fiancé Ryan Reynolds at last night's Costume Institute Gala at NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Pretty much every celebrity you can imagine was in attendance (except for Reynolds), and 95 percent of the wardrobe choices made our heart cry.

Last night Details magazine celebrated their "2007 Mavericks" issue with a party in Los Angeles.

Just so we're all on the same page, can we agree on this:

maverick

NOUN:
1. An unbranded range animal, especially a calf that has become separated from its mother, traditionally considered the property of the first person who brands it. 2. One that refuses to abide by the dictates of or resists adherence to a group; a dissenter.

ADJECTIVE:
Being independent in thought and action or exhibiting such independence: maverick politicians; a maverick decision.

Cool?

Now then, why the fuck were Stacy Keibler, Dane Cook, Molly Sims, Ian Ziering, Michelle Trachtenberg, CariDee English and LC from that piece of hell The Hills allowed to show up?

I will acknowledge that CariDee proved to be an unflappable trailblazer while facing the devastating setbacks on Top Model, but L fucking C!

When you throw a theme party, everyone has to come as the theme or they can't come in. It keeps the riffraff out and makes the people who played along not feel foolish about participating. Did you have Mr. Magoo on door, Details?

I suppose this is to be expected when the host's idea of a "Maverick Lifestyle" includes a Benz and a BlackBerry, both of which, I guess, are now hallmarks of a true "dissenter."

Take that, Gandhi!

While Mary-Kate and Ashley may not have won any Golden Globes, been nominated for any Golden Globes, or have hope to ever clutch a Golden Globes, they still made the red carpet circuit during last night's ordeal in L.A. And naturally, they weren't the only ones: The whole clipboard list of young Hollywood showed their faces, including It-girl hopeful Michelle Trachtenberg, Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka, Katharine McPhee's chest, and, oh look, Mary-Kate again.

Oh, and I heard those Desperate Housewives girls were there too. But they're oooooold.

Hello? Anyone out there? If you're still at work, now is the perfect time to test out that napping under the desk/blow-up doll self decoy trick you've been so tempted to try. Seriously, tell your boss I say you can leave. He/She will listen.

In any event, this picture of Vanessa Minnillo from yesterday's TRL (special guest Michelle Trachtenberg!) made me giggle. No reason, but perhaps the hair/make-up was an homage to all the pageant-related drama this week? Just a thought.

I'll be here in bits and pieces over the weekend, but barring any births, deaths, divorces, DUIs or Britney crotch sitings, I'll be far away from the computer on Monday and Tuesday (who am I kidding, I hyperventilate when I'm more than three feet from my device). I hope that you all have a fun, safe, boozy (if you're into that sort of thing), and love-filled long weekend.

Stay out of trouble, ya hear?

Cheers, friends.

It's a damn good thing that Michelle Trachtenberg had another dress to offset what this one did to her coloring for last night's Black Christmas premiere. I will never, ever see this movie, but if you were to tell me that she is some classification of the undead in the film and decided to dress the part on the red carpet, I would believe you. In the other frock, however, Michelle looks lovely.

And…wait a minute…is this the second post in a day with pictures of Tara Reid? And did she find someone's old prom dress this time? Don't call it a comeback, folks, she's been lurking in the corner trying to compose herself for years.

Michelle Trachtenberg, perhaps the most low profile of the up and coming starlets, celebrated her 21st birthday recently in Vegas. Obviously she kept it classy, as a friend gave her a stripper pole. Her not boyfriend frequent kissing partner, Pete Wentz, looks way less there than James Franco, whose neck she appears to be enjoying. I like it. I like it. Gotta say, chick's adorable..and really long tongued.

• Jesus, John Mark Karr just keeps getting creepier. Can't anyone find a reason to keep this guy in jail? Anyone? Beuller? [Junkiness]

To celebrate his wife Jennifer Lopez winning a "Women in Film" award last night, Mark Anthony took out a full page ad in the trade paper Variety in honor of his lady. The ad is written in the form of a movie script starring himself as the loving husband and Jennifer as "The most beautiful woman." You should read the full scan by clicking on the thumbnail on the side of this post, but let me tell you, the scene looks like it would be pre-tttty, pre-tttty moving.

The event was attended by strong beautiful Hollywood women…and Leah Remini, J-Lo's new BFF.

Mark Anthony may just be a sweet husband after all, that or he really wants to remind people that his wife is VERY VERY available for acting gigs. Either way.
