Hello, everybody. We begin my first blog of 2011 with, what else, the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday where they liked "The Social Network" so much, it claimed Best Motion Picture-Drama, Director (David Fincher), and Screenplay (Aaron Sorkin). Meanwhile, Colin Firth ("The King's Speech") and Natalie Portman ("Black Swan") picked up Drama acting honors with Paul Giamatti ("Barney's Version") and Annette Bening ("The Kids Are All Right", also Best Picture winner) on the Comedy-Musical side. And yes, unlike last year, everybody -- including the cameramen -- were on their best behavior...everybody except for host Ricky Gervais, of course.

On the television front, "Glee" repeated their victory for Comedy-Musical Series with "Boardwalk Empire" taking the Drama prize. Jane Lynch, Jim Parsons, and Claire Danes all added Supporting Actress ("Glee"), Best Actress (Miniseries/Movie, "Temple Grandin"), and Best Actor (Comedy/Musical, "The Big Bang Theory") respectively to the Emmys they already picked up months ago.

Now there may have been snow all over the country except Florida, but the red carpet prior to the show made us melt. There was pregnant Natalie Portman pretty in Viktor & Rolf, Lea Michele peachy in Oscar de la Renta, Angelina Jolie vivacious in green Versace, Kelly Osbourne and Eva Longoria both donning Zac Posen, and Heidi Klum and Halle Berry not afraid to show some leg.

So...who were the night's show-offs? Have to say Olivia Wilde (a princess in Marchesa), Anne Hathaway (Armani), cleavy Longoria and 'Access Hollywood's" Maria Menounos, who totally rebounded from that unfortunate bikini malfunction she suffered in Miami a few weeks back. Yeah, what better way to say goodbye to 2010 and hello to 2011 than with Maria providing us a little more "Access" to her lower body!

As for Helena Bonham Carter in a hairdo that would make Snooki proud as well as mis-matched shoes? She should be shown the door!

Just like the WWE Royal Rumble in which the winner gets a title shot at Wrestlemania, this year's Golden Globe winners like Firth and Portman are already given an express ticket to the Academy Awards. In the case of Portman, this could be shaping up to be quite the year for her with two possible new members of her family: an Oscar and a baby on the way. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Like I said, "The Social Network" won big on Sunday night, and if you scoped the scene inside the International Ballroom at the Beverly Hilton while watching the Globes, the stars were social networking on their tables. If you check out my Facebook page, you notice that I have a handful of celebrity friends like Portman, Danes, and Hathaway, as well as local ones like my good old friends Glen "Glenner" Anderson and Jerry Evans, plus of course my high school buddies.

So I'm asking you: Which celebrities would you like to see on Facebook and/or Twitter? Contact me facebook.com/johnnyafairbanksak or twitter.com/jonathanallen and I'll post some of your responses on my next blog.

Recently, we had the first rags-to-riches story in quite a while in Ted Williams (no relation to the former Boston Red Sox player), the homeless guy with a voice that would make Don LaFontaine, Johnny Olson, and Charlie O'Donnell proud up above. Within days after a newspaper reporter discovered him slumming on the streets of Columbus, Ohio and putting the video on YouTube, he got offers left and right including a Kraft Macaroni and Cheese commercial he did.

But then, we learned a dark secret: Since mid-2008, he became sober, but started drinking again after the worldwide media attention. He was admitted to a drug rehab facility in Texas arranged by Dr. Phil McGraw in the hopes to better himself. Hmmm...with Lindsay Lohan out and Ted Williams in, rehab is pretty much the celebrity hot spot these days.

In all seriousness, we have lost some great voices over the last 25 years including those I already mentioned. Ted Williams would be a breath of fresh air, though I don't know if the pipes are strong enough to belt out "In a world..." or "Come on down!" So long and stay strong.
