Golden Globe Winners!

Here we are, folks. No televised ceremony. No red carpet. No Ryan Seacrest (Thank God!). Because of the writer's strike, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has decided to announce this year's Golden Globe Award winners via a press conference. We'll be posting the film-related winners below in real time, so keep refreshing the page ...

Award winners listed below ...

Biggest surprises? Not really. The Hollywood Foreign Press leaned heavily on the foreign nods, and I suppose the words "home-skillet" didn't hit, well, home with the HFPA. Is Atonement really the best film of the year? I feel like it's tricking a lot of people. What do you think?

Janice Dickinson on Britney: ‘I’d slap her silly!’

Self-proclaimed original supermodel also says Lynne Spears should be jailed

The always outspoken Janice Dickinson sat down with Access Hollywood's Tony Potts and unleashed her thoughts on Britney Spears, Spears' mom and Dr. Phil.

Dickinson feels in order to get to the root of Spears' problems, Lynne Spears should be held responsible.

"My opinion on Britney Spears, is Mrs. [Lynne] Spears should be jailed. Britney's mom is responsible for all this stuff going on."

As for how Dickinson would handle Spears?

"I'd slap her silly! I'd slap the living s**t out of her!" Dickinson told Potts.

After taking a moment to seriously consider the question, Dickinson told Potts, "I would beg Britney just to give it all up. I would say. 'You're rich enough! Give it up and try to focus on the two boys.' I seriously hope that Britney doesn't kill herself. I seriously hope that she doesn't damage herself."

But Spears and her mother were not the only ones Dickinson was taking on. As for her thoughts on Dr. Phil, the former model said, "I think Dr. Phil is pathetic. Pathetic sensationalism."

Dickinson has faced her own set of demons. Now in recovery, Dickinson has had multiple stints in rehab. She credits the Alcoholic Anonymous Twelve Step program with saving her life.

"I am an alcoholic and a chemically dependent person, said Dickinson. "I would just beg Britney to try to find a twelve-step program for her that works, because, like [with] myself, it can happen again and again until you finally find it. Thank God I found it."

Dickinson and all her antics can be seen Tuesdays on Oxygen on "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency."

Brit faces ‘significant’ custody hearing Monday

‘You can’t phone this one in,’ K-Fed’s lawyer says of pop star’s appearance

LOS ANGELES - Britney Spears’ effort to regain visitation rights with her two small children is back on the court docket for what an attorney described Sunday as “the most significant hearing in the case so far.”

Police and emergency medical technicians who were summoned to her home Jan. 3 in a standoff involving her refusal to return the boys to her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, will testify Monday, probably behind closed doors, his lawyer said.

“I don’t know if she will be there,” Mark Vincent Kaplan told The Associated Press, but he suggested she would have to appear in person if she wants to press her request to see her children. “You can’t phone this one in.”

If Spears comes to court, Kaplan said she would be expected to testify. “She will have the opportunity to persuade the court that she can have some visitation under monitored conditions,” he said.

Sources told celebrity Web site TMZ.com that Spears’ lawyers know that Comissioner Scott Gordon is expecting the pop star to address the custody showdown at her home on the evening of Jan. 3

Phone and e-mail messages requesting comment from Spears’ attorneys Sunday afternoon were not immediately returned.

Kaplan said he knew it was only a temporary measure when he obtained emergency court orders two weeks ago granting sole physical and legal custody to Federline.

“These are very, very draconian orders,” Kaplan said. “Because of that the court wanted to have a hearing to give her and her attorneys the opportunity to refute some of the declarations.”

“No judge likes making orders terminating a person’s involvement with their kids,” Kaplan said.

Meanwhile, police were preparing for a media frenzy in the downtown civic center if Spears appears, issuing warnings Sunday that vehicle and pedestrian violations would lead to citations.

Kaplan said that if Spears comes to court, he would like to cross-examine her on the events of Jan. 3.

Whisked away
Police were called by a court appointed monitor when Spears refused to hand over Jayden James, 1, and Sean Preston, 2, to Federline’s security guard and locked herself in a room with one of the boys.

Spears was taken to a hospital in an ambulance chased by photographers and was placed on an involuntary hold on grounds she was a danger to herself or others. Spears left Cedars-Sinai Medical Center a day and half later.

The day after the incident, Kaplan presented papers to Gordon, who awarded sole legal and physical custody of the boys to Federline and suspended Spears’ visitation rights.

Kaplan said if visitation is restored, it would be under more restrictions than those originally imposed by Gordon.

One expert in family law agreed that the hearing provides Spears her only hope of resuming visits with her children before a custody trial scheduled for April.

“Usually, when someone has the threat of losing their children, they’ll do anything to get their children back,” said Lynn Soodik, who predicted visitation rights could be restored if Spears appears and offers an explanation.

“This is not a punishment for her,” Soodik said. “It’s what’s in the best interest of the children. The judge has to carefully weigh their safety versus not seeing their mother. It’s drastic to have no contact with their mother.”

Soodik said Gordon could order monitored visitation in a location away from Spears’ home “in some kind of setting where the judge can assure that she wouldn’t be able to lock the kids in a room with her.”

Golden Globes: Will the Stars Party Tonight?

George Clooney and other nominees say they'll find out about the awards like everyone else tonight – on TV

No dresses, no big parties – so what will this year's Golden Globes stars be doing Sunday night when the winner's are announced in a press conference?

"I'm going to eat a huge bowl of pasta," Allison Janney told PEOPLE at the BAFTA Awards Season Tea Party in Beverly Hills. "I don't have to worry about fitting into a gown tomorrow."

But the Juno actress, whose film is nominated for best motion picture comedy or musical, said she's not ruling out the possibility of spending the evening with her castmates. "We may get together ... and watch the press conference. And if something good happens we can all go out and spontaneously celebrate somewhere. We're going to just make it up as we go."

Equally low-key, George Clooney, a nominee for best actor in a movie drama for Michael Clayton, "will be watching Bonanza on color television," his rep, Stan Rosenfield, said in a statement.

With the writers' strike continuing, this year's Golden Globes will be presented by a panel of TV hosts and journalists, including Entertainment Tonight's Mary Hart, The Insider's Lara Spencer, Jim Moret of Inside Edition, Juliana Rancic and CNN's Brooke Anderson. Before the telecast (9 p.m., ET), NBC will air a two-hour Dateline special featuring new interviews with nominated celebrities.

A Dressed Down Night

While the official afterparties have been canceled – and the celebrations curbed – many celebrities say they are reveling in their own ways – just minus all the gowns and glamour.

"I'm so glad I didn't have to worry about a dress," nominee Patricia Arquette told NBC News in a new interview. Instead, the Medium star joked she'd be happy to sit on her couch, in her sweats.

Same goes for The Office's Angela Kinsey, who is pregnant.

"I'm going to be home in my sweatpants," she told PEOPLE at the Boom Boom Room's Wonderland suite in Los Angeles. "Not as exciting as last year, but also good in a different way. I had a dress from A Pea in the Pod [picked out] ... but I'll just save it for the next thing."

Focus On the Strike

The politics of the event were on the forefront of Rumer Willis's mind – this year's Miss Golden Globe.

"You can wear a pretty dress any time," she told PEOPLE at Access Hollywood's "Stuff You Must ..." Gift Lounge in Los Angeles. Explained Willis: "It's more about supporting people, your peers, and the other people that are struggling right now."

Also affected by the writers' strike, the People's Choice Awards aired sans celebrities on Jan. 8, in a pretaped "newsmagazine" format hosted by Queen Latifah, and earned only 6 million viewers. Last year's ceremony drew in 11.3 million viewers – a drastic difference that many say illustrates the deleterious effect the two-month-old strike has had on the entertainment industry.

Among the films in competition for Golden Globes this year, Atonement leads the field with seven nominations. Other key nominees include its stars Keira Knightley and James McAvoy and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street's Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter.

Britney Spears To Become A Muslim?

She also considers fake death...

Britney Spears is supposedly so in love with her new man she's considering converting to Islam to marry him.

In other plans demonstrating how fragile her mental state is at the moment, friends report the troubled popstar has also considered faking her own death in order to reinvent herself.

A pal tells the News Of The World, "She's been discussing all these wacky plans to reinvent her life. She has discussed in depth a fake death, moving abroad and even plastic surgery. It is scary to hear her romanticise about these insane plans.

"She believes she could spend six months away and make a comeback as Britney the world's best mother."

Britney has also talked about how important her new man, paparazzi boss Adnan Ghalib, is to her now.

She reportedly told a doubting relative of his over the phone, "We're taking care of each other. He's the only one who understands me. It's serious."
