Award winners are a closely guarded secret…unless you’re the Hollywood Foreign Press Association apparently.

Yesterday, the Golden Globes' official website, which has a list of all the nominees for Sunday’s awards, had a star next to Anne Hathaway’s name in the Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama category, leading many to speculate that she’s won for her role in Rachel Getting Married.

Someone is so totally getting fired for this.

After much speculation, Heath Ledger’s ex-fiance and baby mama Michelle Williams has officially denied she ever was or ever will be accepting any of Heath’s awards for his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight.

We’ve been speculating on how this would go down for months and now it seems there’s some drama surrounding who will accept Heath Ledger’s Golden Globe for The Dark Knight, since his win is a foregone conclusion.

According to reports, Heath’s father Kim “desperately” wants to do it, but “the studio and the producers would rather have Michelle receive it on behalf of [their daughter] Matilda.”

What do you get a teen star for her sweet sixteen when she can already buy and sell you?

A used car, obviously.

Of course, the car is a Porsche (natch) but it’s still a hand-me-down.

Miley Cyrus, who just got her driver's license, turned sixteen on November 23rd and was given “my mom’s old car,” she says. “I got the old car, which wasn’t so bad because it was a Porsche ... It was a pretty good hand-me-down.”

Hottie House star Hugh Laurie has signed a deal for $400,000 per episode, making him one of the highest paid actors on television (CSI’s William Peterson made $600K and Kiefer Sutherland rakes in $500K per episode of 24).

Laurie will also get a producing credit (like Peterson and Sutherland) on the medical drama, which kicks off its fifth season later this month. The lucrative deal adds another year to Laurie’s contract, ensuring he’ll be stacking cheddar like a Rockefeller until 2012.

Because of last year’s writers strike, the 65th Annual Golden Globes were cancelled and, with it, Rumer Willis’ dream of being Miss Golden Globe, an honor reserved for the child of a star who wants to break into the business, the ultimate example of Hollywood nepotism.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
