Jon Stewart Calls Oscars 'An Exercise in Battle Stations'
Originally posted 02/20/2008 07:50PM
Likely to be in a tux when he assumes his emcee duties at Sunday night's Oscar ceremony, Jon Stewart was recently found unshaved and sporting army boots in the nether regions of Hollywood's Kodak Theatre – prepping for the job ahead.
"This is an exercise in battle stations," the Daily Show host, who just survived the three-month writers' strike, tells The New York Times about his upcoming weekend job. "In some ways it allows your mind to be in that fight-or-flight mode the whole time: 'Okay, we're mice being chased by a cat. Let's just do it.' "

Eva Longoria 'Shocked' at Her Hot Rating
Originally posted 05/11/2005 08:00AM
RANKED: Though it's often claimed that Teri Hatcher gets all the attention, Eva Longoria is the only star of Desperate Housewives to make Maxim magazine's new Hot 100 list – in fact, Longoria is No. 1. "It's kind of exciting and shocking all at the same time, because I was No. 91 last year," Longoria, 30, tells USA Today. "Considering all the women in the world, No. 91 isn't all that bad. But I didn't go to the party (last year), because I don't think anyone wants the 90s at the party." Modest about her status this year as well, Longoria tells that paper that she'd rank Angelina Jolie (whom the men's magazine ranked as No. 7) at the top of the list. "Angelina is the definition of sexy," Longoria says. "Everything about her is sexy – her empowerment, confidence, strength, beauty, character, her morals and what she stands for."

Report: Travoltas Under Heavy Security
Originally posted 10/20/2004 08:00AM
PROTECTED: John Travolta, 50, and wife Kelly Preston, 42, are under heavy security after receiving undisclosed threats, USA Today reports. "I think the best thing to say is 'no comment,'" the actor's publicist, Paul Bloch, tells the paper. Guards reportedly have been in place around the couple and their children for at least a month. At Sunday night's opening of Travolta's new movie A Love Song for Bobby Long, Travolta and Preston arrived after two bomb-sniffing dogs checked guests – who were also required to remove all pens from their pockets. At the post-premiere party, men's wallets were searched, the paper says.

SATURDAY, OCT. 2: Veteran Saturday Night Live host Ben Affleck returns for a third time to helm the show's 30th season premiere. The actor last hit the comedy's Rockefeller Center stage amid the post-Bennifer fallout earlier this year, but this time expect a possible reference to the new Jennifer in his life – Garner, that is. Affleck stepped in to take over hosting duties when another prominent Democrat, former President Bill Clinton, turned down the gig. Joining Affleck is rapper Nelly, who'll perform songs from his chart-topping new albums, Sweat and Suit.
