‘Black Swan’ dominated the Independent Spirit Awards last night. Best film, best director and best actress all went to the psychological thriller. Is that an indication of how tonight’s Oscars are going to go?

Could Natalie Portman be any cuter?

According the the NY Mag, the awards ceremony was held on the beach – and everyone absolutely FROZE.

The Film Independent Spirit Awards, held in a beachside tent Saturday during unusually cold Santa Monica weather, were dominated by wins by Black Swan. And for all the travails the nominated filmmakers might have experienced on the path here (lack of funding, last-minute casting, no trailers to protect Nicole Kidman from the paparazzi, as Rabbit Hole director John Cameron Mitchell told us), these troubles seemed overshadowed by the day’s frigid wind. When asked how it felt to win the Best Director award, Black Swan’s Darren Aronofsky said, “F’in cold.” The weather got lots of mentions during the telecast, hosted by Joel McHale, and even more attention as the shivering winners made their way to the billowy press tent. It was so cold that Natalie Portman was seen sporting not one, but two jackets over her knee-length, summer-y dress during the show. “I’m from New York, so I was expecting to come here like, ‘It’s bikini time,’” said Lena Dunham, a winner for Best First Screenplay for Tiny Furniture. “It’s not bikini time.”

Who’s excited for tonight!? I am!!

Mason Dash Disick is taken to a kids birthday party by his mom, Kourtney Kardashian, his dad, Scott Disick, and his grandma, Kris Jenner, earlier today (February 26).

At the party, Mason is joined by fellow celeb children, Harlow Madden, and Kingston and Zuma Rossdale.

In case you didn’t know, Mason will not be appearing in ‘Kourtney & Kim Take New York.’ Why won’t we be seeing this adorable baby on TV? E! network wasn’t going to pay him enough, of course! The family had been demanding $5,000 per episode for Mason’s appearance, and the network wasn’t having that.

Shakira is honored by the prestigious Harvard University.

The Harvard Foundation, the university’s center for intercultural arts and science initiatives, gives Shakira its 2011 Artist of the Year award for her “distinguished history of creativity” and her charitable contributions.

After accepting the award, Shakira challenges Harvard students to make the world a better place by working to improve education in developing countries.

In case you didn’t know, the Grammy-winning song artist founded the Barefoot Foundation to provide education and nutrition to children in impoverished areas of her native Colombia. Impressively enough, Shakira is also a Unicef Goodwill Ambassador.

I really admire music artists who balance their time between work and philanthropy!

Zoe Saldana is va-va-vavoom at the 14th Annual Impact Awards yesterday (February 25).

What do I love about Saldana’s outfit?

The nude pinks and pops of red!

The Avatar star wears a muted pink dress that perfectly drapes around her petite body. Her muted pink and gray shoes stun eyes around her. And Zoe’s clutch! The bold red color pops along with her lipstick!

The epitome of classy and sexy. Stunning.

Charlie Sheen wants to tell the world about what really happened behind the scenes of ‘Two And A Half Men.’

So how is he going to do it?

A book, of course!

The ‘Two And A Half Men’ star tells TMZ that he is writing a tell-all book about his life on (and off) the set of the CBS show during his eight-year term. And he plans on giving readers the scoop on co-stars, too. (It’s tattle tale time!) Sheen expects a bidding war for the book’s publishing rights with the first bid to start at $10 million.

And the working title?

When the Laughter Stopped.

In case you didn’t know, CBS has stopped production of ‘Two And A Half Men’ for the rest of the season. Talk about a Conan moment!
