Amanda Peet, 51, and David Benioff, 52, have been married since 2006 and have three children together, Frances, 16, Molly, 12, and Henry, 8. Amanda is an actress and David is a successful, albeit controversial, writer and producer. Amanda is promoting her role on the Fatal Attraction series on Paramount , where she plays the wife who gets cheated on by Joshua Jackson’s character. Lizzy Caplan is the bunny boiler! Just the casting makes me want to see it, Caplan won me over on the underrated Castle Rock on Hulu.

Amanda was on Kimmel when she told a story about how she makes her husband work out of her closet. He has a big ergonomic chair and she banished him to the closet so she wouldn’t have to deal with that ugly chair in her living space. I don’t understand why the guy doesn’t have his own office, but they have three kids so space must be at a premium in their house. Anyway the set up to this story is she was just out of the shower and getting dressed, her husband was working there in her closet/his office and her daughter came in to borrow something to wear. That’s when her daughter delivered the cutting line in the title. Here’s what Amanda said about that to Kimmel.

I was a little bit excited because when she comes in my closet usually means she’s borrowing my clothes which is like a real ego boost for me. I was… completely naked and she just looked to David, back to me [and said] ‘do you guys ever miss being young and attractive?’ The most most painful part of it was it was a real existential question like she really was like ‘is it hard that you are so saggy?’ David and I laughed and we were like ‘yeah we really do.’

That’s such a teenager move! How are they so damn mean at that age? The self centeredness really comes through when they’re teens and they often don’t realize you don’t have to say everything you think. I like how Amanda reasoned that her daughter didn’t mean it the way it came across, like Frances was genuinely wondering how it felt to no longer be young and hot. There’s a learning curve, but once you know what teenagers are like you are emotionally equipped to deal with how rude they can be. They can be gently corrected and that’s all I’ll say about that. It’s more interesting to me that David Benioff works in a closet because his wife thinks his chair is ugly. Maybe he’ll get an office once Frances is out of the house.

Best, Worst, and WTF of SAG Awards Fashion

Post author By celebrityabout
Post date January 19, 2014

Jennifer Lawrence with actress Lupita Nyong’o. I really want to know what they were talking about.

The SAG Awards is probably the most “meh” of all awards shows, am I right? Still, that’s no reason to ignore the fashion. Why? Because it’s fun. Here are some looks from the 20th Annual SAG Awards. Let’s go through and pick the looks for BEST, WORST, and WTF.

For more awards show fashion, check out the Golden Globes Awards post.

I don’t think Amanda Peet knows how to dress anymore. This is something I’d expect from Chloë Sevigny, and I don’t even know if she could pull this off. It’s just so…fug. I’m sorry, I know “fug” is played-out, but I cannot summon any other words to accurately describe this dour mess.

Aaron Paul (bitch). I don’t mind the shoes at all; I like when men personalize their tuxes/suits, because let’s face it, mens fashion can be terribly boring. I just wished his damn pants were hemmed at the right length. Why is it that no man in the world ever has his pants hemmed?? It looks like he’s wearing bell bottoms. The pants should break crisply at the ankle, not do this hot swampy mess. This is a big pet peeve of mine. I really don’t get why it’s so hard for dudes to make sure they’re pants aren’t too long.

(Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly before I move on).

Abigail Breslin. She looks so pretty, but why grow up so fast? By which I mean, this is something I’d expect to see on a much older celeb. She’s only 17. The train and bolero is just so old for her.

You can tell that Anna Gunn has so much more confidence after losing so much weight. She looks fantastic, but the best part is easily her purse:

Love. Why not? Yeah it’s a little cheesy, but it’s Breaking Bad, a worthy show, and it’s not like her purse is a giant rock of blue meth.

Carice van Houten, a dutch actress, best known for Black Book (not to be confused with the Brittany Murphy film Little Black Book). I really love this whole look. It’s simple but there are little accents like the pockets, and the patterned shoe,s and the red lips, that keep it from being boring. This is totally something I would wear if I ever got the chance. Screw it, I’ll wear this while shopping for groceries, I don’t need the SAG Awards.

Cate Blanchett. Okay, in all fairness to Ms. Blanchett, this looked slightly better on TV. But only slightly. And she kept fussing with the top. She’s done better. This reminds me of something Miranda would wear in a Sex and the City Goes To The Beach movie.

Claire Danes needs to eat a good meal and get a good night’s sleep. I mean it’s her life and she can do what she wants with it. It’s just a suggestion. Okay, so, the gown. There’s a lot going on with this dress. I feel like the train is unnecessary. You’ve got a two-toned train, plus a sheer overlay, plus a sequined pattern, which I think is really cool, and is cool enough on its own. If you cover the train with your hand, it looks so much better. Just try it. Treat yourself!

You guys – Elisabeth Moss did it — she wore a flattering dress WITH a nice hairdo!! I’m so proud of her. Usually she only gets one. But this time, I feel like she really brought it, and I think she looks fantastic. This is a great color on her with a great neckline. Spectre is really great! (Sorry, Big Fish reference got out of me).

Well, this is better than what Emma Thompson wore to the Golden Globes, but I still don’t get why she dresses like this. She has a great bod. I guess it’s just what she’s most comfortable in. I see she’s wearing flats. That’s good, considering that at the GG she took off her heels and then threw them. Progress!

Guys, I love Helen Mirren and I think at this point she could wear anything and I’d gush. So what do you think of this look?

Isla Fisher. This was just okay for me. She’s a beautiful woman and it’s a pretty dress, so I’m not sure why the overall look isn’t wowing me.

Jane Krakowsi. Love this color on her, and I like the playful neckline. I get that because of the neckline she likely opted not to wear a necklace, but I think she needs a little something to make this dress “pop” (I hate that expression, but there you go).

I think Jared Leto looks so good, I don’t even mind the hair. I have a thing for skinny guys in skinny suits. I blame David Bowie for that one.

Jennifer Lawrence. Her bod is sick, which I feel bad about saying, since she’s shrinking more and more every time we see her. I mean look, her waist isn’t much bigger than her head. I hope she doesn’t continue to shrink, but since the Oscars are coming up, not much chance of that. Anyway, I love this dress. It works on her. She looks fab, it’s different without being ridiculous, and I love it. I’m still not a fan of her haircut, though. Sorry.

Also shrinking is Julia Louis-Dreyfus. I like her handbag more than the dress. The dress is just okay. I like the colorblocking trend, though.

Julia Roberts. Well…uh…it’s better than what she wore to the Golden Globes, but that’s not saying much. I love her mermaid hair. I don’t know…please don’t kill me for saying this, but I think she’s a little too old to wear a hot pink jumpsuit to an Awards Show. But I think anyone over 20 is a little too old to wear a hot pink jumpsuit to an Awards show.

Julie Bowen. So much going on here. Okay. I love that she took a risk. But overall, this reminds me of one of those cheap costumes you’d buy sealed in a plastic bag from a Halloween store. You know? Like this looks like an altered Transformers costume or something. It’s the bodice and the faux belt that makes me think “robot in disguise.”

Juliette Lewis. It looks like boxy clutches and patterns were a big trend this year. I think this dress looks lovely on her and I like the pattern and colors but it’s giving me 1990′s Laura Ashley vibes. And I think her hair is not doing her any favors.

Kathy Griffin. Look who’s not D-list anymore! Great color on her. I’m into peplum, but only when the sleeves are super simple. With the clipped capped sleeves and the peplum detail, it’s almost a bit too much, even though it’s such a simple dress. Her bod is hot though, let’s be real.

Sorry, Kelly Osbourne, but I think this whole entire look is diabolical.

Kerry Washington is pregnant but that didn’t stop her from wearing a crop-top! Even though no one should wear crop tops, especially crop tops with side slits, I mean what the hell. Why do people gush over her style? Why was she named The World’s Best Dressed Woman? I think 90% of the time she gets it wrong, and I think this is one of those times.

Here’s Lupita Nyong’o, from Twelve Years a Slave. The dress is an amazing color on her, and I love that she echoed it with her eyeshadow. Not a fan of the flower explosion, but overall, I think this was a risk that pulled off.

Guys…what the HELL is going on with Malin Akerman? Her style lately has been…well, this. I really didn’t even recognize her. Do I need to even say it? The gown is way too busy and why did she dye her hair to appear white-ish grey? I don’t know what’s going on here.

Oh, Mariah. You just stay stuck in the ’90s forever. It’s okay. We understand. Love the fishnets, girl.

I think Mario Lopez looks fantastic, and I’m not being snarky or sarcastic. I think, aside from the mass amounts of hair gel, this is a great look for him. It’s sharp but not stuffy. It’s like a modernized Mad Man. I love it.

Meryl. Oh, Meryl. No.

Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey). I admire the risk and how different this is, but I just don’t like it. What do you guys think?

This is Natalie Dormer (Game of Thrones) debuting her partially shaved head. People are still doing that? Okay. Well, she looks hot, even if her arms look like they got caught in strawberry baskets that someone spray-painted black. This dress looks like some weird Project Runway challenge to me. (Speaking of PR, “Lighten up it’s just faaaaaashion!” is my mantra.)

Oprah. Gorgeous color on her, and the cut of the dress is excellent. I think she nailed it, even if the broach is like an anchor that’s pulling her dress down. Great, now I can’t stop staring at the broach. Does it look like spider eggs to anyone else? Guys, I feel like I’ve been doing this post for hours, I think I’m starting to lose my mind. Let’s move on, and never speak of this again.

Peter Dinklage is looking SHARP! Love the double-breasted tux.

Portia de Rossi has me incredibly underwhelmed. Booooring.

This is Rose Leslie from Game of Thrones. Again, I love when people take risks and do something different, so I give her props for that. The proportions are great, but I’m not digging cheetah/leopard print paired with a sheer lace flowered print top. Maybe if the top wasn’t sheer and was solid and a different color I could dig it. Maybe. As is, the whole thing is a bit of a mess.

Sandra Bullock. What a great color! This almost goes into 1980′s bridesmaid dress territory, but I think she steers clear enough of it.

Sarah Paulson. It’s like she’s turning into some weird rip-off of January Jones. I don’t like this dress. I was down with the top, until I scrolled down, and then I wasn’t down with anything that was down.

Sofia Vergara. Man, this woman does not know the meaning of “tone it down” does she? Every awards show we see her in some extravagant costume-y gown. She looks stunning but she also looks like she’s about to step out of the limo to meet The Bachelor. It’s so over-the-top.

And finally, every awards show needs a hipster, and this is ours:

Zoe Kazan. Come on, this is a pretty cute look, admit it.

And that’s that! Time for your picks. Here are mine:

BEST: Jennifer Lawrence
WORST: Kerry Washington
WTF: Malin Akerman

Your turn!

People’s Choice Awards Fashion: The Best, Worst, And WTF

Post author By celebrityabout
Post date January 9, 2014

Kat Dennings. More on her later.

This week we had Hollywood’s least impressive awards show, the People’s Choice Awards, and no one really brought their A-game fashionwise. I get that you don’t want to wear your best dress to the PCA but some of these outfits…yikes.

Take a scroll through the looks and then tell me YOUR picks for BEST, WORST, AND WTF. Mine are at the end!

So here we have the 2 broke girls themselves: Kat Dennings (who is looking a lot like Lizzy Caplan) and Beth Behrs. I think this dress makes Ms. Dennings look Ms. Dowdy. She’s so much prettier than the dress. There’s just too much fabric. It would be so much cuter at tea length. Behrs’s gown doesn’t really do much for her either, it’s just kind of meh. But let’s note how beautiful Kat Dennings make-up is:

I think when it comes to makeup, she ALWAYS nails it.

Here’s Allison Williams, from Girls and the loins of Brian Williams. Totally thought this was a refreshed Amanda Peet at first. Anyone else? As for the dress…I don’t know, guys. It’s trying to be fashion-forward but I’m feeling a little bit of a Forever 21 vibe instead.

Anna Faris, what happened. This is awful and you look unhealthy. Is she okay? As for the outfit, it’s totally what Blance from Golden Girls would wear for a big, sexy night on the town. So if that’s what she was going for, she nailed it.

This is someone named Cassie Scerbo. Google tells me she is an actress, singer, and dancer. My eyes tell me she is bad at getting dressed. What in the ever-loving hell is this.

Cheryl Burke, from Dancing with the Stars. Guys, her body is SICK. But even though she looks amazing, she also looks kind of tacky. I think on anyone else I would be cooing over this dress. But on her? Not so much. I’m not sure why that is. I guess I just don’t feel sophisticated glamour oozing from Cheryl Burke.

Emily Deschanel. This looks like something she picked up at Anthropologie on the way to the show and thus didn’t have time to get it tailored. I don’t know what exactly it is, but it’s not doing anything for me. And it’s got nothing to do with her, she’s a beautiful woman. This dress is just so very…boring? I guess?

Here’s another dress that I think doesn’t do any justice to the babe wearing it, in this case, Heidi Klum. I think the top part of it is stellar, but the color and print are just so very unspecial. Imagine this in a bright fierce pink or something like that. Or a savory red. A lot of these dresses are just hanging in the “meh” zone for me.

Jennifer Hudson. I think this look is all wrong for her. I’m sorry guys, I really don’t mean to be a negative Nancy. I like the white on her, but the cut and draping is just not working.

Jessica Alba, also in white. A pretty popular color, it seems. What in the ever-loving hell is with the lace-up side seam? It makes me think of the ’90s. As always though, she looks incredible. This dress cuts a good silhouette on her.

This is someone named Keltie Knight. What in the ever-loving crop-topped polka-dotted hell is this?

Lucy Hale, in some kind of Venice beach sidewalk artist’s spray-art inspired dress.

Malin Akerman in NICE BOOBS, LADY! Surely that’s the point of this dress, right? Or is it the childlike scribbling below the T-Boob? What the hell is going on, you guys? Why are beautiful women wearing the ugliest things?

Melissa Joan Hart. I love to see me some MJH. Love the color and print on her. Not sure about the raised hem, or what’s also known as a “mullet dress.” Still want to read her book.

Norman Reedus, AKA Daryl from The Walking Dead. This is the best photo of his outfit that I could find. AND I LOVE IT. I love when guys change up the regular ole suit and tie. Call me crazy, I don’t care, but I love this look.

Queen Latifah. Love her hair and makeup. Don’t understand why she’s wearing a sack. Boatneck is not a good neckline for her. I wish she’d worn something more body-skimming. But she didn’t. And that’s just something we’re all going to have to live with.

This is a person named Quinn Shephard and I’m not going to bother to Google her pretentious ass, I’m just putting her here because she brought a copy of Lolita to The People’s Choice Awards — are you kidding me with this? And her shoes are ugly. Maybe she’s a lovely person, I don’t know, but this is a whole new level of desperation. But it worked, because here I am posting her photo and talking about her. Just, come on. Come on. Seriously? I mean, really? Really? Come on.

Sandra Bullock is way too famous for this show, but she came anyway. No wonder everyone loves her! I love the hemline on this. I know this dress is a little weird, but I like it, and I think she wears it well.

Sarah Michelle Gellar can do sooooo much better than this. I think the neckline is great on her but everything else is just so…guys, I don’t want to use the word “meh” again BUT I’M AT A LOSS.
