Eddie Griffin collected a trophy for his high profile Ferrari crash -- but it's not necessarily an honor.

On last night's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Jimmy gave the questionable road menace a Crashie Award for "Best Celebrity Driver" for his totaling of an Enzo at a charity event this past Monday. Kimmel explained that past winners included the car-seat phobic Britney Spears, and Billy Joel, who once crashed into a house.

Ever appreciative, Griffin thanked "the producer (whose Ferrari was the one he totaled), the director and the manufacturer, 'cuz I'm still here."

Rehab-ified mother of two, Britney Spears, has been voted the celebrity who most needs to "live the change and take steps towards striving for a healthier and more balanced lifestyle," according to a poll by healthy living brand, LIME.

The soon-to-be-ex Bride of Federline got 81% of the vote, while fellow rehab rookie party pal Lindsay Lohan came in second with 14%. Cheers, gals! On the opposite end of the spectrum, reformed fatty Oprah Winfrey was voted "the model for healthy living" with 47% of the vote ... and all it took was a paid staff of trainers, stylists, nutritionists and chefs! It's as easy as fat-free pie!

A very pregnant Julia Roberts also made the fit list for being genetically blessed with the most "organically" grown body. Apparently, there are no additives, preservatives or silicone parts found in this "Pretty Woman."

Isaiah Washington won an acting award this weekend, and no, it wasn't for his half-assed apology for using the "f-word."

The loose-lipped "Grey's Anatomy" doc, who recently left gay-slur rehab, took home Best Actor in a Television Drama at the 38th Annual NAACP Image Awards. What an image, indeed!

With Isaiah receiving this questionable honor, perhaps there's hope that Michael Richards will get a GLAAD Award ... but don't count on it.

Jennifer Hudson, who finished in seventh place during the third season of "Idol," found better success at last night's Oscars when she took home the award for Best Supporting Actress. But if Simon Cowell was expecting some kind of shoutout, he'd have to go to Oscar.com to get it.

Hudson didn't thank "Idol" during the telecast, but did manage to squeeze in a nod on the Oscar website's "Thank You Cam," and then only after being reminded by someone off camera. Jennifer said, "Who else? Who else? Who else?" as she tried to remember who she forgot to thank, when an unseen woman mentioned "Idol."

"You know what? For every trial, and every tribulation, yes, 'Idol' is included in that." Hudson said in a seemingly begrudged afterthought.

Salma Hayek takes home the highly coveted Best Breasts award for her titillating work in both "Ugly Betty" and "Ask the Dust." Jennifer Aniston keeps it family-friendly with Best PG-13 Nude Scene in "The Break-Up." While Rosie O'Donnell obstructs our view with Most Shocking Nudity for "Nip/Tuck." My eyes! My eyes!!

TMZ spotted the Dreamgirl heading into the Vanity Fair Oscar Party at Morton's in West Hollywood last night, stopping to adjust the twins before making her grand entrance. Hudson had another near wardrobe malfunction earlier in the evening while singing during the Oscar telecast, with her jiggly bits almost popping out during a live performance with Beyonce.

The party brought out megawatt stars like Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, J.Lo and Marc Anthony, Oscar winner Forest Whitaker and the always stunning Kate Winslet.

Well, so much for the theory that there'd be no clear Oscar favorite: "Departed" has taken best picture, director, editor and screenplay.

We also imagine that this is a bad time to be Brad Grey's shrink. I mean, talk about mixed feelings: The good news? You just produced the best picture of the year. The bad news? You produced it for your bloodthirsty competitor, Warner Bros.

"Visual effects: They enable us to see aliens, experience other universes, move in slow-motion, or watch spiders climbing high above the city landscape." (a beat) "For me, just a typical weeknight in the mid-Nineties."

God, I love this guy: Abusive childhood. Seen more snow than the Swiss alps. Regular jail. Movie jail.

Then I just heard KABC's Marc Brown say this stunner: Based on a nationwide poll, only a pathetic 9 (nine) percent of Americans saw all five movies nominated for Best Picture. And only 31 (thirty-one!) percent of Americans saw any of the the Best Picture nominees at all.

Wow.

I mean, don't get me wrong: I think "Letters from Iwo Jima" is the best movie I've seen in years; you'd have to go back to the Oscars of 2004 and "City of God" to find as compelling a film. But when the front-runner for Best Foreign Film ("Pan's Labyrinth") has out-grossed a Best Picture nominee like "Iwo Jima" by more than double, it doesn't bode well for the Oscar's Nielsen ratings. Even nominated "Iwo Jima" director Clint Eastwood looked like he was on total auto-pilot, absently responding to a question by ABC's George Pennacchio about whether award shows get tiring by saying, "We got 'Flags,' we got everything going." When his wife Dina pointed out to him, "That's nonsensical." Eastwood struggled on, "I'm just here... you know, I get some rubber chicken or something," walking away in mid-sentence. We wouldn't be surprised if viewers have the same reaction.

We're not talking about who designed Al's tux, or Tipper's gown; we're referring to the total 180 degree turn their image has taken in Hollywood over the past two decades: Back in 1987, Tipper's role in creating the much-derided Parents Music Resource Center would have made her a red carpet pariah. At the '87 Oscars, Tipper would have been dodging tomatoes, not walking on rose petals.

And even in 1997, a favorite Al Gore joke went, "How do you pick Al Gore out of a roomful of secret service agents?"

Punchline: "He's the stiff, unnatural one."

A few years and an Oscar-nominated documentary later, Gore's electrified the often-neglected documentary category. It's gratifying to see a smooth, relaxed and dare we say it, downright presidential Al Gore on the red carpet.

How come? Well, as Al put it, "I'm old enough to know that a red carpet is just a rug."

If only the Oscars were this much fun!

Sarah Silverman played host to the quirky Independent Sprit Awards last night, with "Little Miss Sunshine" dominating the ceremony. The film took home four awards, including top honors as Best Film.

Celebs like Rosario Dawson, Taylor Dayne, and a "bloodied" Neil Patrick Harris all sang ditties about each of the Best Film nominees in a brilliant attempt to break up the monotony of an awards show.

A-listers like Halle Berry and Naomi Watts have platoons of stylists to figure out 'who' they will be wearing, but to get that golden glow, they turn to Matty Solomon of Matty's European Skincare & Cosmetics.

Matty's offers a multitude of rejuvenating services, like glycolic acid facials and oxygen facials; age-defying stars like Sandra Bullock can't get enough of her signature 90-minute collagen facial. The non-invasive procedure uses collagen to restore skin tone and elasticity, thereby improving the appearance of fine lines. Sold!

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are some of Matty's biggest fans. The former couple used to come in together, with Brad having a particular preference for the microdermabrasion peel. So that's how he does it!

Even if you aren't going to the Vanity Fair party, Matty's European Skincare can give you that cover girl look!
