Cleavage is the new purse, apparently. No matter where you looked at the Golden Globes, there were starlets showing off their chests in seriously blatant ways. Everyone from Mariah Carey to Halle Berry got in on the eye-popping act, causing people both on and off the red carpet to wonder whether they were watching The Golden Globes or late-night cable.
At the 1980 Golden Globes, Bette Midler famously cupped her breasts and quoted Joan Crawford saying "I'll show you a pair of Golden Globes." Well, on Sunday night, the ladies of 2010 took her lead, making their own globes the hottest red carpet accessory as they tried to make their breast impression (yup, we went there).
"Between Mariah Carey, Christina Hendricks and Heidi Klum, the awards weren't the only Golden globes on Display," style and beauty expert Nadine Haobsh tells PopEater. "The beauty of gigantic boobs, whether gifted by mother-nature, pregnancy hormones, or the friendly local plastic surgeon, is that they go with absolutely everything. Well, except modesty," the 'Beauty Confidential,' author said.
Klum's post-pregnancy bust was so out there that even Ryan Seacrest had a tough time looking her in the eye while her hubby Seal was standing right there. A bold move, Seacrest -- Seal could whoop you a good one.
"Some really gorgeous hairstyles fell flat last night with all that rain during the Globes red carpet. Thankfully, no one cared because there was nothing else flat about it," said grooming expert Margaret Kelly of Lock & Mane.
Mariah Carey played it dowdy in 'Precious' but made up for it with her down to there gown that begged the question: How are those things standing up on their own? Unfortunately bringing her own globes to the event did not score her points with fashion critics.
"If I had to stare at Mariah's two boobs for another second I may have clawed my eyes out. I feel like she let those two puppies out so people wouldn't look at her droopy Jack Daniels eyes," said PopWrap's Ryan Brockington.
Meowch!
"It seems like Mariah Carey wanted to rock her own set of globes on the Golden Globes red carpet this year, and it was a big fashion fail. Not only did it look like she wanted the world to know she upgraded the size of her implants, but she left nothing to the imagination," said style expert Jeannine Morris. "If you have it, flaunt it. Yes, even on a red carpet, but you have to look at cleavage as an accessory, dress appropriately around it and wear it tastefully. Olivia Wilde and Fergie both showed showed off their assets in a respectable fashion."
Some folks made an unsuccessful attempt at covering up their assets. Yes Mo'Nique, we may have cried a little at that acceptance speech, but we are looking at you, and you, and you.
"Monique had those two Christmas hams tucked in that gold wrap dress like she was feeding a family of 20. The only person that could have used a little help in the boob-cessory category was Toni Collette. Her dress was made for cleavage but I feel like she forgot her cutlets in her hotel room," Brockington said.
And 'True Blood' starlet Anna Paquin looked like she left her bra in her hotel room as she let the gals hang low in her sparkling gold gown.
At the end of the day, that's what the Globes are all about, good booze, good fashion and some fun with cleavage. It's why folks call them the unbuttoned Oscars.

Who cares whether these Hollywod phony-balonies with their sprayed on tans, bad teeth, and pancake makeup gone awry, have gigantathon boobs straining to excape or just a couple of fried eggs.

You got that right -- I don't know why these women think that having their boobs popping out of or half-hanging out the side of their dresses is attractive -- ladies -- it's not -- and either "they" are silicone, or so droopy--neither look is good. Grow up!
Glad to see Meryl, Sandra and Drew receive awards.
I thought Drew Barrymore did an amazing job in Grey Gardens. I didn't realize Drew could act that well. She should be in more serious films and forget the funny stuff. Hollywood needs to take that girl seriously, she's extremely talented. Go girl, you're incredible.

Only 1 word needed to describe Mariah. "MOOOOOOOOOOO"

She looks like a cow and needs to be milked. She is a mess. Shame on her husband. Does he need glasses, she looks like a street walker. Whatever talent she may have is distracted by her appearence. Shame on her, maybe she should look in the mirror.
I thought in light of what's going on in Haiti, they really could have toned it down some. The cleavage was horrible. Very distasteful.
Reply
Everyone feels for the victims in Haiti, as we did for the tsunami, 9/11 and other disasters, natural or man caused! But life goes on. Some of us need the world to continue on. Good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people.
What does haiti have to do with this conversation?
Hey, it was the Golden Globes Awards wasn't it?
Reply
Where is the vote on the men's bulging crotches? Can we discuss THAT??? WHY is it always about the boobs on a woman?
As for Haiti..Bad situation no doubt but America is NOT the savior for the world! We don't even take care of our own! Americans are losing their jobs/homes and dignity and NO other country is helping us with that! In fact, they are laughing. HELP AMERICA...donate to a charity that helps an AMERICAN child and let Angelina and Madonna worry about adopting those from other countries using the billions they made IN AMERICA!

Hey Ruser, time to face some facts. There is not a vote on men's pants buldge because men don't make that the focus point of their appearance the way these women do with their cleavage. When men lead with their crotches, you'll have reason to call for a vote.
As for international aide, it HAS BEEN offered to the US when we needed it. Many European and Asian countries offered us aide after Katrina. They may not be offering it directly now, in part because it is an economic disaster, not a natural one. What would you have them do, send money to one of the richest nations in the world?
You are a pig.....
Ruserious said: "Where is the vote on the men's bulging crotches? Can we discuss THAT??? WHY is it always about the boobs on a woman?" I'LL TELL YOU WHY: Because the guys don't have their genitals 90 percent exposed and put on display. THAT'S WHY, you knot head!
YOU CALL THEM PUPPIES,I CALL THEM PILLOWS...

I was disappointed when Downey Jr. took it. Daniel Day Lewis in"Nine" was the better actor.

Love the boobies ( rack-bust-pillows-tits-breasts-boobs-or whatever) I am too old to go to the whorehouse to look at them so lets wait fot the golden-globes

James, you are too funny!! At least you're truthful! :)
It's just cleavage...women in Hollywood have been showing it for decades! The only difference now, is more of the cleavage is "fake" cleavage. At least, Christina Henrdricks are real!
