Red Carpet: "The Help", Teen Choice Awards
Sunday, August 14, 2011 at 8:32PM NATHANIEL: For this episode of Red Carpet Convos, I'm joined by our resident fashion-obsessive Jose and Kurt. We begin with ... oh help me. It's THE HELP. I feel like I have done nothing but talk about that movie this week.
KURT: 'The Help Experience'.
NATHANIEL: Which would work as that movie's title... were it not for that pesky Emma Stone ;). It's totally overthrown Rise of the Planet of the Apes already in conversation.
Aibilene, Celia, Skeeter, Minnie and Hilly
JOSE: Confused by Ron Howard's kid and Jessica Chastain again, which one's which?
NATHANIEL: The pregnant one is always Bryce Dallas Howard
KURT: Is that to say she's perpetually pregnant?
NATHANIEL: I feel like she's had four children already. But i think this is just her second.
JOSE: She's still pregnant? She and Natalie Portman gestated like elephants. I thought she was just wearing a bad empire cut
KURT: well since we seem to be working backwards, let's talk about Ms. Howard. Jose are you very familiar with her red carpet looks? cuz i'm not
JOSE: actually no, though somehow I happen to be a big fan of her underrated-ness.
NATHANIEL: She went very patriotic for this red carpet. Perhaps to counterbalance how dastardly Ugly American her character Hilly is?
KURT: she should have worn a confederate flag
JOSE: see what I can gather from her look is that color blocking is already hard for the skinny starlets, so pregnant ladies should stay away from it, this reminds me of Uma's yodeling costume from the Oscars a few years ago
NATHANIEL: Ah, I think it's lovely or would be without the primary colors.
KURT: agreed about the color blocking. reminds me someone a few seasons ago of Project Runway - can't remember her name.
NATHANIEL: reality show contestants fade in memory practically instantly -- celebrity meat grinder that. I love Project Runway and I can never remember people's names after the next cast has replaced them.
JOSE: oooh nice connection Kurt, since freaking Heidi Klum is always pregnant as well
KURT: word. Bryce should have worn a variation of that floral thing that makes it into all the promo stills. i kind of love that look.
NATHANIEL: Octavia Spencer. This is a lovely color I think but the clutch is cracking me up. It's so flat and shiny that what could you keep in there other than maybe all the movie contracts you're thinking of signing now that you've had your breakout role.KURT: yea its weird like a trapper keeper
NATHANIEL: Omg. maybe she's got homework or a slambook inside?
JOSE: Love the cut and the cleavage, since bigger ladies usually go for huge priest-robe like dresses, the mid-length cut is absolutely perfect
KURT: yes the dress is pretty. is the wrap too much?
NATHANIEL: I like it. But then I like gossamer loveliness in general.
KURT: well at least it's not draped over her like a JLo doilie and i wont say anything else about Jlo -- i promise!
