A picture-perfect moment, right?
Well, looks like the joke is on Gwyneth, who posted a photo of her meeting comedians Steve Martin and Martin Short at the Vanity Fair party following last Sunday's Academy Awards.
"Dude. Seriously. I love my life," the actress, sporting her glamorous Tom Ford dress, wrote along with the photo, which she published on her WhoSay account that night.
Martin, too, shared similar pictorial evidence of his meeting with Paltrow, posting a slightly different version of the shot on his official Twitter page (see photo below) the same night.

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart's PDA-filled Pre-Oscar Party
Originally posted 02/28/2012 06:00AM
Longtime lovebirds Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart made a rare semi-public appearance together during the Oscar weekend in Los Angeles.
The couple attended WME's pre-Oscar bash at agent Ari Emanuel's house and were "quite affectionate" in front of other revelers, a source says. Adds the source: "[They] seemed very comfortable and sweet with each other." The duo mingled with guests such as the Kardashians, Miley Cyrus and beau Liam Hemsworth.
The following night, the two stepped out for dinner at Il Covo, where they were joined by four friends, including actress Mia Wasikowska for their meal on the restaurant's patio. The couple were the last to arrive at the party, and they each sipped a beer. Later, Stewart ordered a tequila cocktail. Unlike at the WME party, at dinner the couple kept their PDA to a minimum.

Originally posted 02/28/2012 05:55AM
They made a PDA-filled splash at Sundance, and new couple Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana stepped out once again at L.A's SoHo House for a Grey Goose-hosted party the night before the Academy Awards. But this time around, they seemed to be playing things more coy – possibly because the reigning Sexiest Man Alive had brought his mom, Gloria, out!
Cooper had his arm around his mother (who's already met Zoe), and led the way through the Weinstein Company bash as Zoe, Casey Affleck and a pal followed them through the crowd. Meanwhile, Scarlett Johansson and new beau Nate Naylor walked hand-in-hand through the party together. The pair stopped to chat with Russell Simmons before heading out. – Julie Jordan

Sacha Baron Cohen's Dictator Dumps Ashes on Ryan Seacrest

Well, that's one way to turn heads on the red carpet.
When Sacha Baron Cohen made his much-anticipated arrival on the red carpet Sunday night outside Los Angeles's Hollywood and Highland Center for the 84th annual Academy Awards, the Dictator star carried an unexpected accessory: a prop urn filled, tongue-in-cheek, with what he said were the ashes of late North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, who died last December.
Always up for antics, Cohen, fully costumed in a militia coat as Admiral General Aladeen, dumped the urn on E! host Ryan Seacrest, who later described the powder inside as pancake batter.
Jimmy Kimmel Packs Oscar Winners into Hilarious Movie: The Movie Trailer
Originally posted 02/27/2012 06:15AM
Oscar night celebrated some of the best movies of the past year. But are you ready for the greatest film ever made?
Jimmy Kimmel put together this amusing teaser for Movie: The Movie – his tongue-in-cheek attempt at making the most star-studded, spectacular film America has ever seen. Or at least, the trailer for it.
The stars are almost too numerous to count – Best Actress winner Meryl Streep, George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Charlize Theron, Matt Damon, Cameron Diaz, John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Colin Farrell and the list goes on and on, while the plot is too hilariously clichéd to be believed.

First, Tebowing. Are we ready for Angie-bowing?
Angelina Jolie knows how to strike a pose on the red carpet, but when she took the stage at Sunday's Oscars, the Best Adapted Screenplay presenter's posture raised eyebrows.
With a hand on her hip and her bare leg stretched out through the slit in her dress, the woman whom host Billy Crystal called "the original girl with the dragon tattoo" displayed over-the-top sass and sauciness.

Jennifer Lopez dazzled on the red carpet before the Academy Awards in a sparkling Zuhair Murad gown.
But when the American Idol judge took the stage with Cameron Diaz to present the Oscars for Best Costume Design and Makeup, her look – and that dangerously plunging neckline – wasn't so best-dressed-list worthy.

Even if George Clooney doesn't snag the Oscar for Best Actor on Sunday night, it looks like he'll still go home with a statuette of his own.
Walking the red carpet outside Los Angeles's Hollywood and Highland Center for the 84th annual Academy Awards, The Descendants star's date, girlfriend Stacy Keibler, seemed to be channeling Oscar himself.
Keiber, whom Clooney first stepped out with this summer, dazzled in a gold Marchesa gown that seemed inspired by the trophy Academy Award winners take home.
