At last! An item that makes my Oscar coverage on topic!   Randy Jackson, Carrie Underwood and Ryan Seacrest attended the 17th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar party in Los Angeles last night…

Bonus: After the Jump, watch Ryan look really really stupid in front of the Slumdog Millionaire kids…

    As always, Carrie looks amazing. Can the girl take a bad picture?

    And Randy, dawg, I’m sorry, but that jacket is absolutely hideous. Yikes!

    What Oscar were they nominated for?

  • weareallinnocent

    Randy, Randy, Randy. Dude should really stop dressing himself. What, with this shiny powder blue number and the jacket he borrowed from the late Captain Kangaroo for the finale last year, he has some serious issues. Hey, maybe Gokey could get his “style ministry” to intervene? Heh.

    Carrie looks absolutely amazing!

    I didn’t think it was possible for Ryan to make a bigger ass of himself than he did when he tried to “high five” the blind guy, but that was ridiculous. If you can’t pronounce their names, then don’t mention them.

    GwendolynD, I think the kids were there because they were part of the cast of Slumdog Millionaire, which was nominated for (and won) Best Picture.

    In other news, when Simon dies he wants to be frozen

    Oh. D’oh! :dunce_tb:

    I think there is a string attached to Carrie’s elbow that automatically pulls up her arm to put her hand on her hips at the sight of a camera.

    I don’t get the idea of going some place just to be seen there. It’s like these guys are Oscar groupies. when I saw the news bit about Carrie Underwood arriving in LA for the Oscars I thought she was singing something there.

    Maybe this Elton John party is a charity affair that they go to every year in support of the charity? that would make the circumstances much better than the mere desire to be seen.

  • Tess

    Hell, If I was extended an invitation to an Elton John party I’d be there with bells on. This is a party to celebrate the Oscars, not an exclusive party for Oscar winners and losers. This is nice free publicity without the paparazzi invading your personal space. You get to meet some movers and shakers, maybe Carrie’s manager was getting her introduced to some film makers for them to see her as a future prospect for their movies or entertainment ventures.

    Also, I don’t think that all 2000 people at the Oscars were directly connected with the show.

  • leome

    Simon was there too. There’s a picture of him with Randy, Carrie and Ryan on gettyimages.

    I think there is a string attached to Carrieà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s elbow that automatically pulls up her arm to put her hand on her hips at the sight of a camera.

    nothing wrong with that, she’s just posing for the camera.

    “Maybe this Elton John party is a charity affair that they go to every year in support of the charity? that would make the circumstances much better than the mere desire to be seen.”

    That’s exactly what it is. I think this is its 17th year. This year the party raised nearly $4 million this year to fight AIDS.

    Where does Randy come up with these jackets? This one is better than the Captain Kangaroo jacket from last season’s finale though.

  • thesheriff

    ha ha! that’s funny hicksaholic. i think the same thing…her posing is a bit too forced, dare I say robotic, for me. ESPECIALLY the disney ones last week, though this one is right up there with’em!

  • thesheriff

    If anyone really wants to chuckle…go on amazon and find a cd from 1981ish by an artist named narada michael walden called victory – randy is on it with white PANTS and white SHOES. But it’s on the inside – so may take some searching for the inside pic. it’s pretty funny;

    i noticed taylor swift has also got the string. and any other celebrities.

    @Natasha – “Where does Randy come up with these jackets?”

    Televangelist Outfitters.

    Yes, I agree being at that party was a fundraising event. It may even go back to Carrie, Randy, Simon, and Ryan’s involvement with Idol Gives Back. They did seem sincere in wanting to help, especially in Africa.

    Carrie knows the routine by heart.
