Men’s fashion at an award show such as this is harder to judge, because many of the attendees arrive in the same clothes they would wear to the grocery store, the club, or the annual pimp convention — none of which are good looks. Don Cheadle, who won the humanitarian award for his work in Darfur, looks pretty dapper (and he gave a great acceptance speech). I can’t say the same for all of the guys in attendance. See for yourself after the jump.

Elie Wiesel, the holocaust survivor whose book, Night, had a resurgence of popularity after Oprah Winfrey included it in her all-powerful book club, honored my favorite talk show host (and yours) this weekend for her humanitarian efforts. Say what you will about the self-congratulatory way with which Oprah leads her life, she deserves the recognition she gets.

Angela Bassett was also an honoree this weekend at a high tea (hence the funny hats) for Victoria Rowell’s foundation for foster children. Courtney B. Vance was in attendance to support his wife, but 50 Cent was curiously absent. You think he might not enjoy high tea at the Beverly Hills Hotel?

Celebrities. As soon as they get famous enough to buy whatever they want, they recieve everything for free. It’s one of life’s many cruelties. This weekend, they got to go to Paradise Island to attend what appears to be a rather random gathering of famous people celebrating the opening of the Cove Atlantis. Disturbingly, one of the parties required disco gear. I need to never see Usher and Tameka Foster in afro wigs again. And notice, he ain’t with his mother on Mother’s Day. Drama!
