I've been told that today is the most depressing Monday of the year....but we here at GirlsTalkBack are determined to make your Monday as happy as possible by filling you in on everything going on in LA LA LAND!!!

First up The Golden Globes celebrated its 67th year last night in Beverly Hills. The winners on the night were as follows:

 Avatar won best picture

 James Cameron won best director

Meryl Streep won best actress for her role in ‘Julie & Julia’

Sandra Bullock won best actress for ‘The Blind Side’

Robert Downey JR won best comedy actor for ‘Sherlock Homes’

Ricky Gervais hosted the event and there was mixed reactions to his performance. Some critics found him funny and entertaining while others thought he was predictable and boring and constantly plugging his own work!!

For me Emily Blunt stood out in her amazing Dolce and Gabbana dusty pink gown

While Twilights ‘Jacob’ aka Taylor Lautner looked very handsome in his black tux and dickey bow.

Gleek fans will be delight to hear Glee won best TV comedy or musical series on the night – so happy about that it is definitely my favourite show on at the moment!!

Claudia Schiffer had some exciting news to announce, she is expecting baby number three with husband and film director Matt Vaugh!! And this is the part I can’t get over she is already five and a half months gone and she seriously doesn’t look it!!! Dame her amazing figure!! The baby is dues to make its big appearance sometime this may!!

Our very own Saoirse Ronan is rumoured to be honoured at the pre-Oscar awards, where she will be recognised as rising new talent in Ireland.

Saoirse was shortlisted in 2008 for an Academy Award which is amazing – this was for the film ‘Atonement’. The extremely talented teenager will be given the Wilde Card award at the gala function which takes place just a few days before the glamorous Oscar ceremony.
