• Angelina Jolie Shut Out of Golden Globe Nods, Jennifer Aniston Grabs Another 'Cake' Nod

    The Golden Globe nominations were announced this morning, and there seems to be one name surprisingly missing from the list: Angelina Jolie. Earlier this year, the actress was praised for her work in "Maleficent" and many insiders believed it would easily fetch her a nod or two at awards time. Then "Unbroken" came out, and Jolie's directorial skills were praised. In spite of both efforts, Jolie's name is absent from the list of Golden Globe nominations. Adding more than a little bit of sting to Jolie's being slighted is the fact that Jennifer Aniston has not only secured a leading actress nomination today but also grabbed a SAG nod yesterday morning, Dec. 10, as well. Aniston's work as a chronic pain sufferer in "Cake" has been praised since it was first previewed in September. We heard early on that her performance was generating Oscar buzz, but it was not until she actually started turning up on the list of nominees for other awards did anyone really take that too seriously.
  • Queen Elizabeth Snubs Kate Middleton's Family By Not Inviting Them To Traditional Christmas Day Lunch

    Queen Elizabeth has rewritten many old royal traditions or at least she has been willing to bend a lot of the stuffy old rules in order to accommodate younger members of the family. Kate Middleton's marriage to Prince William is believed to be the catalyst for all of changes and Elizabeth's willingness to slowly but surely take steps to pull the monarchy out of the dark ages. One yearly tradition includes the family gathering at Elizabeth's Sandringham House for lunch on Christmas day. While Kate, William and little Prince George have already been invited to this years' occasion, the rest of the Middleton family has been left off of the guest list.
