Cate and Her Boys Play Around in Perth
Cate Blanchett had her almost one-year-old son Ignatius riding in his Baby Bjorn as they picked up lunch in Perth, Australia on Friday with her middle son Roman. She and her family have been away from their Sydney home and in the western part of their country for the past few weeks touring with War of the Roses, a play she stars in and produced along with her husband Andrew. Cate's been out of the Hollywood limelight for a bit, though that'll soon change when production of her upcoming Nottingham begins.
Trend Alert: Tortoise Shades

Oscar Nominee: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button For Best Costume Design
As we gear up for the Oscars, I'll be featuring the nominees for Best Costume Design. It's a big year for this category as the films nominated represent several vastly different historical periods. Be it eighteenth century England or San Francisco in the '70s, these films include some gorgeous threads.
Brad Pitt Delivers as the Curious Benjamin Button
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a marvel of storytelling, special effects and acting, with an awesome performance from Brad Pitt as the eponymous character who is born an old man and becomes physically younger as the years pass by.

Her oldest boys, Roman and Dashiell, showed their baby brother Ignatius the ways of the swing set before they all headed off for an outdoor lunch.
