The big difference between last year and this year's GM Ten Fashion Show?  Less exhaust and fewer coughing celebrities in the front row. Otherwise, the drill at the sixth annual pre-Oscar event held on the Paramount lot was pretty much the same. Loud music, cool cars and fabulous clothes styled by Rachel Zoe, who seems to have managed quite well, thank you, without her former DUI charger Nicole Richie.

Modeling on the runway: three Oscar nominees (and one in the audience), a triple Grammy winner (Mary J. Blige), a couple of hot musicians (Beck and Fall Out Boy) and a handful of TV's top award-winning stars from "Grey's Anatomy"  and "Heroes."

Bruce Willis sat with Brett Ratner while his ex-wife Demi Moore and her plaything Ashton Kutcher kissed and cuddled while sitting next to "Volver" best actress nominee Penelope Cruz. Demi snapped shots of the models during the show and then giggled as she turned the camera on herself and Ash. What, you don't have enough shots of yourselves? Get a booth!

Inspired by her photo skills, "Little Children" Oscar nominee Jackie Earle Haley whipped out his Blackberry and took a shot of Penelope, Ashton and Demi while he walked the runway in a Dolce & Gabbana suit and motorcycle-style boots. Then he showed the shot to the driver of the car he was sharing the runway with. The guy can definitely improvise.

And then, the 2007 Award Season "It Girl" came out...

No, not Helen Mirren. "Dreamgirls"" best supporting actor nominee Jennifer Hudson looked Oscar-worthy in a black Roberto Cavalli gown. Adriana Barazza walked the runway like a pro, not in a red dress like the one she wore in "Babel" (although that would have been a wittier choice, Rachel), but an elegant black Michael Kors number.

"Heroes" stars Hayden Panettiere, Masi Oka, Milo Ventimiglia and Jack Coleman made a fearsome foursome. Oka did his trademark wide-eyed incredulous stare and Hayden, well, she ruled the runway. This cheerleader doesn't need help. She can save the world all on her own.

And finally, here's a shot of SAG award-winner Katherine Heigl looking absolutely amazing in a Dolce & Gabbana gown. Why? Because a hairstylist left her gorgeous long blonde hair loose. Katherine's worn her hair up  - in a stiff old lady style - for too many awards shows. Let's hope she lets hair down more often.

And finally, because you've never seen Mary looking this super cool in a Collette Dinnigan shimmery gown. And the car's not bad either.

And just because a fan asked for this... Heeere's Milo, arriving at last night's party. Whew. Hot or what?

You mention Milo Ventimiglia, but no posting of pictures. For shame! If you have em', I'd love if you could post them. :) Thanks!


Oh, the irony! Back in her "American Idol" days, Jennifer Hudson (like all the other finalists) had to do Ford commercials; now she's pushing GM. So does this mean she won't thank Simon Cowell in her acceptance speech?
