From eonline.comWhile Ellen hosts the 79th Academy Awards at the Kodak Theater, I'm at West Hollywood’s East/West Lounge in a cozy VIP room for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’s Jai Rodriguez's viewing party. He has invited a bunch of close friends, and it seems like everyone is rooting for Jennifer Hudson. “She’s the ultimate dream story,” an adorable little man tells me. (And again, as we now know, she's a Dreamgirl come true.)
About halfway through the show, Sara Ramirez’s commercial as the new Dove spokeswoman plays, and the entire VIP bunch starts clapping for their fellow Oscars viewer. “It’s so embarrassing,” the Grey’s Anatomy starlet says, as she turns away from the screen. Hey, there’s nothing to be shy about, considering she looks stunning. But she doesn’t have to worry for long, because Jai quickly grabs everyone’s attention. “Shhh!!! Celine’s on!” he exclaims. His gays sit and listen, and I take that as my cue to sneak over to the Abbey for The Envelope Please 6th Annual Oscar Party.
