For today's
holiday gift guide, I'm looking at goodies for aunts and uncles.
If your aunt or uncle is into golf, or just enjoys a heartwarming rags-to-riches story,
The Greatest Game Ever Played is a sweet movie gift. Plus, it stars a young, adorable Shia LaBeouf as the little plebian who rises beyond class boundaries to play the gentlemen's sport, so there's something in it for everyone!
Winning both the "Historical Hound" and "Best in World" awards, the Corgi stars of The Queen represented in royal fashion at
The Fidos. Four of the five pooches – Anna, Poppy, Megan, Alice, and Oliver – who played the part(s) were present on the
red carpet in England at yesterday's event, and are pictured above with Oscar winner, Helen Mirren. The other winners included pups from Year of the Dog ("Comedy Canine"), Shooter ("Blockbuster Bowser"), and short film, Dog Flap ("Cupcake Cinema").
Technically, this is the third in a "Blair trilogy," but according to Variety, "Screenwriter
Peter Morgan has started work on a sequel to
The Queen, which will dig into former U.K. prime minister Tony Blair's relationships with U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George W.
I was recently thinking about how Prince William is in dire need of a new girlfriend ever since he
dumped Kate Middleton in April. And then I was thinking - why can't that new girlfriend be you or me? But then I thought about all that being Wills' girlfriend involves - she would have to meet, and please, The Queen.

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and
Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue.
The Queen
This critical darling won about a zillion awards, including a
Best Actress Oscar for Helen Mirren, who plays Queen Elizabeth II.
Now that the
2007 Oscars have come and gone, I am anxious to catch up on my movie viewing! Though I've seen most of the winners, there are a few Oscar movies I missed.
What 2007 Oscar winner have you not seen that you really want to see next?
Jennifer Aniston caught up with Oscar winner Helen Mirren at a Pre-Oscars party in LA last week. Jen looks like she's a big fan of Helen, whose style and class doesn't seem to be lost on anyone these days, even the Queen of England. Helen jokingly
paid tribute to Her Majesty in her Best Actress Oscar speech and now word is that The Queen is arranging to have tea with the actress.
In her wonderfully gracious acceptance speech at
last night's Oscars, Best Actress winner
Helen Mirren gave a sincere and playful shout-out to Queen Elizabeth II, who she portrays in
The Queen, saying "For 50 years and more, Elizabeth WIndsor has maintained her dignity, her sense of duty, and her hairstyle."
It seems Her Majesty may have been paying attention: Variety is now reporting that
Helen Mirren may actually be having tea with Queen Elizabeth II. According to a palace spokesman:
"The Oscar winner — along with director Stephen Frears and screenwriter Peter Morgan — are in discussions to have a sitdown with Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace in the near future."
This week I've been breaking down the good and bad qualities of each
2007 Best Picture nominee. Just in case you need a refresher, here is a recap of all five Best Picture breakdowns; hopefully they will help you make an educated guess on the
Oscar ballot!
