We seem to have a habit of doing this, so that’s good enough reason to do it again.
I still reckon George Pell frocks up better than most Hollywood types, but if you’d like to challenge that assessment, or just comment on the gowns, go for it. By the way, will Glenn Milne be at the Golden Globes?
NB: New readers may be pleased to know LP is your one stop shop for ecclesiastical fashion discussion.


Yeah, George is quite fetching in red. But for full-on Priscilla-esque gorgeousness, I recommend dead Popes and Orthodox priests.
I know it’s so predictable but Angelina looked awesome.
What is this with George?
I know.
B.Y.O. red carpet.
Maybe it is because I’ve been watching the Mony Python ‘Personal Best’ collection but that pic somehow evokes Pythonesque silliness.
Shock news, mick!
Angelina unhappy with her dress!

Who’s the handbag?
Really, Shaun? Why would you possibly think that?
I see they still have that road rule about Cardinals being preceded at all times by an acolyte in a funny hat to ensure that the horses and kiddies don’t take fright.
This is a fideist argument completely unsupported by evidence, fact, real world events.
Indeed, I would argue that the people who are currently in charge of US foreign policy, i.e. a far right-wing faction of the Republican Party, allied with big business (a quasi-fascist construct if ever there was one), are not in the least bit interested in democracy except where it serves as a useful propaganda device. Like Peter Foster they’ll say anything to facilitiate policy.
To judge to what degree that element of the Republican Party has a vested interest in democracy we should look to their own bailiwick with myriad instances of unabashed vote machine tampering and wilful disenfranchisement of blacks and hispanics in two previous presidential elections as well as vote buying with “soft” money (illegal campaign funds solicited from big business) then laundered into “hard” money, i.e. cash donations from individuals.
Great frock.
Are you sure you’re on the right thread here, Sir Henry?
Unless that’s a very subtle way of saying – Angelina Jolie for President!
Helen Mirren is a stone fox. Who would have thunk you could put your jubblies on display at 60 and look hotter than everyone else in the room?
Negative points to Charlie Sheen for attacking his hair with a Flowbie.
Funny, she copped a “worst on the Red Carpet” on A Current Affair’s spoiler report. Just goes to show you.
No, no, no.
Angelina Jolie for Pope.
Amen!
As long as she doesn’t have to wear what Pell is wearing. Actually, she doesn’t have to wear that much at all…
I’m sure more teenage boys would show up to church.
Was flicking through the selection of Yahoos nine pics of the worst dressed and it seems that the poodles have reason to worry now. Their pom poms have been stolen by a Japanese actress in Hollywood.
