While accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award at Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards, Jodie Foster surprised many viewers when she officially came out as a lesbian. While she has alluded to her sexual orientation in the past (she thanked her partner back in 2007 during another acceptance speech), this is the first time she has made a public statement on the matter. Her moving speech made mention of the importance of privacy and acceptance, and she also explained why she waited so long to make the big public announcement.
“While I’m here being all confessional, I just have the sudden urge to say something I’ve never been able to say in public," Foster began. "A declaration that I’m a little nervous about. Not quite as nervous as my publicist, huh, Jennifer? But uh, you know, I’m just going to put it out there. Loud and proud. I’m going to need your support. I am — single."
Foster then noted that she was kidding (but only kind of) and continued, "I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the stone age. In those very quaint days when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends, and family, coworkers and then gradually, proudly, to everyone who knew her. To everyone she actually met. But now, apparently I'm told, that every celebrity is expected to honor the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a primetime reality show. You guys might be surprised, but I'm not Honey Boo Boo child. If you had been a public figure since the time you were a toddler, if you had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, then maybe you too would value privacy above all else."

He may not have taken home the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture (Django Unchained co-star Christoph Waltz beat him out), but Leonardo DiCaprio will always be a winner in our book!
We know it's cheesy, but ever since Titanic Leo's always been our favorite leading man. But why didn't he have a date? Maybe some hot, young model will be meeting up with him at one of the after parties?

Can you blame him?
Orlando Bloom and his stunning supermodel wife Miranda Kerr attended the 70th annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday evening, and if anyone was still questioning whether their marriage was on the rocks, this photo should answer the question!

Naomi Watts was nominated for Best Actress in a Drama this year for her work in The Impossible, and while she didn't win (Jessica Chastain took home the honor) when you look this amazing at 44, it almost doesn't even matter!
Watts hit the red carpet at the 70th annual Golden Globes in a smokin' hot Zac Posen gown, and she definitely turned heads when she twirled around to reveal the funky train on the back of her dress.

Not only did she win the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture at the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards, but she'll def be making a few best dressed lists with this stunning white Chanel number!
Looks like Anne Hathaway's decision to take the role of Fantine, chop off her hair and lose 30 pounds for Les Miserables was worth it! But will she beat out Sally Field, Helen Hunt, Amy Adams and Jacki Weaver and win Oscar gold next month? We'll see...
While a few red carpet correspondents teased that Anne might be expecting a child (this is what happens when you wear any sort of a peplum top or dress combo), the actress' rep, Stephen Huvane, told the Daily Mail that she is "definitely not pregnant."

Lots of skin AND lots of color -- that's quite the combination!
Halle Berry wasn't nominated for anything at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards, but she made sure everyone was looking her way when she waltzed down the red carpet in this Versace gown. While the dress is about as crazy as her recent drama with Olivier Martinez, Gabriel Aubry and her daughter Nahla, you gotta admit, she does have a ridiculous body!
The 46-year-old actress is taking the stage to present an award this evening, and yesterday she made an appearance at the 2013 BET Honors in Washington, DC.

Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Alba struck a pose together on the red carpet at the 2013 Golden Globes at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday, and the actresses (both of whom were presenters) looked amazing!
J. Lo went for a sexy skintight lace Zuhair Murad dress while Jess opted for a classic strapless Oscar de la Renta gown and lots of Harry Winston bling. Can you believe both of these ladies have given birth to TWO kids? Hot mamas!

So much for Taylor Swift ... looks like newly single Selena Gomez has a new bestie!
Selena and Vanessa Hudgens were snapped leaving V's house in the valley on Sunday evening, and the Spring Breakers co-stars held hands as they hopped in the limo and headed to the Golden Globe Awards.
While Vanessa went with a floor length gown, Justin Bieber's ex-girlfriend showed off her stems in a short and sparkly gold number. Loves it!
