Blake Edwards, SAG Awards Honour The Kid’s Are All Right And Glee, Justin Bieber To Grace Cover Of Vanity Fair, Winona Ryder Tried To Tell Us All What A Homophobic Racist Mel Gibson Is, X Factor Winner Matt Cardle

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that director Blake Edwards has died. He was 88. Edwards, who directed the vastly underrated The Party as well as The Pink Panther series (both starring Peter Sellers), also directed the 1961 film version of Truman Capotes’ Breakfast at Tiffany’s, which was nominated for five Academy Awards. Edwards was married to Julie Andrews, who he directed in Victor/Victoria (again, vastly underrated) and 10.

The 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Award nominations were announced Thursday and among the SAG Award nominees is The Kid’s Are All Right, which earned three, including Best Ensemble Cast, Best Actress for Annette Bening and Best Actor for Mark Ruffalo. Black Swan earned three as well. Glee’s Chris Colfer and Jane Lynch each were nominated for an Outstanding Performance in a Comedy Series award, as was the great Sofia Vergara for Modern Family and Betty White for Hot in Cleveland.

Justin Bieber will grace the cover of Vanity Fair – clothed or unclothed - for the magazine’s February or March issue, reports Fashionista.

Winona Ryder, who appears memorably in Black Swan, is interviewed in the newest issue of GQ magazine and shares an odd anecdote: “I remember, like, fifteen years ago, I was at one of those big Hollywood parties. And he was really drunk. I was with my friend, who's gay. He made a really horrible gay joke. And somehow it came up that I was Jewish. He said something about 'oven dodgers,' but I didn't get it. I'd never heard that before. It was just this weird, weird moment. I was like, 'He's anti-Semitic and he's homophobic.' No one believed me!"

Matt Cardle, a bit of a blue-eyed bear, won the 7th edition of Britain’s X Factor; Cardle caught attending an event Wednesday evening in London.
