"I haven't told anyone this, but we are going to do most of it naked and we're going to sing through the whole show". The affable actor joked during an interview backstage at the Kodak Theater. "In fact, all the acceptance speeches are going to be sung. There will be some interpretive dance behind them, and I really think it will be beautiful and touching." But don't expect People magazine's "sexiest man alive" to show everything. "There will be a strategic leaf placed here or there," he said. "We don't want to be distasteful or anything. This is a raw night. This is the Oscars. Raw emotion, that's the quality we're going for." The 40-year-old entertainer has hosted the Tony Awards three times, but this is his first time in the Oscar spotlight. "If I hadn't done the Tony's, I think I'd be a lot more nervous than I am," he said.

Jennifer Aniston will be at the Oscars! It was revealed that Ms. Aniston will present an award on Sunday night with funnyman Jack Black. Whether she and boyfriend John Mayer walk the red carpet together remains a mystery. Mayer told Popsugar earlier this week that he planned to attend the awards, which take place at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood. "It's my first Oscars," the singer said. "And it's my first being an Oscar boyfriend." The big night could also mean the first run-in Aniston has ever had with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, both of whom are nominees. Aniston's rep did not immediately comment. Aniston was not with Mayer, at least not while she enjoyed dinner with three friends during another Grey Goose night at Cecconi's restaurant in West Hollywood. A table away from the former Friends star was Gwen Stefani and hubby Gavin Rossdale with a gaggle of pals, including American Idol creator Simon Fuller. In the back of the eatery, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon joined a large group of people, including Laurence Fishburne and NBC honcho Ben Silverman. Among the other restaurant-goers were Elle Macpherson, Bradley Cooper, Fisher Stevens, Elizabeth Banks, Jason Bateman, fashion designer Ozwald Boateng and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

Dustin Hoffman fought back tears as he was honored by France in Paris Thursday. In an elaborate event in a gilded hall, Culture Minister Christine Albanel made the two-time Oscar winner an honorary commander in France’s National Order of Arts and Letters and tied a green medallion around the 71-year-old actor’s neck. Hoffman’s eyes moistened, and after taking a second to regain his composure, he joked: “When you get to my age, you cry at the weather reports.” On a more serious note, he told The Associated Press he was “as satisfied as you can be when you wake up in the morning and say, ‘that’s the best dream I’ve ever had.’” He attended the ceremony with his wife, Lisa Gottsegen. Albanel called Hoffman “one of the greatest actors of our time”, paying tribute to his Oscar-winning performances as a workaholic father in the 1979 movie “Kramer vs. Kramer” and as an autistic man in “Rain Man,” from 1988.

Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley Photo by: Jeff Kravitz / FilmMagic; Francis Specker / Landov Country's biggest stars are heading to Sin City for the 44th annual Academy of Country Music Awards, which will be broadcast live from the MGM Grand Sunday on CBS at 8 p.m. ET. Carrie Underwood is up for the night's top honors, entertainer of the year (a fan-voted category this year), against four of country music's biggest cowboys – Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban and George Strait. Those on tap to perform include Taylor Swift, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts and Sugarland. Fresh from her Hannah Montana movie premiere, Miley Cyrus will take the ACM stage to perform "The Climb," a tune from the film. "[The song] has a little country vibe,” the pop star tells PEOPLE. “At the ACMs, it'll be cool." Hosted for the eleventh time by Reba McEntire, who will perform her new single "Strange," the show will also feature plenty of Hollywood wattage, including Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Foxx. Paisley – an early winner who already nabbed two of the six awards he's up for – will compete for his third consecutive male vocalist award from home: He and wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley are expecting their second child any day.

It's nice to know thatTori Spelling can take a good joke or two…or three…or four. Tori actually thanked Chelsea Handler in her acceptance speech last night at Bravo's A-List Awards for constantly being mean to her on Chelsea Lately. "I want to thank you for finding ways to say I'm ugly and stupid, week after week," said Spelling, who picked up the award for Celebrity Autobiography. "It's funny I say that on the night that I know she is here. And now I'm worried to leave, because I don't know if she's going to hold me down and beat me up or try to feed me a sandwich." In true comedic form, Handler had a quick Spelling-dissing rebuttal later in the evening when she accepted her A-List Funny Award… "I'm a little full right now. I just ate Tori Spelling," she cracked. "I want to thank her for being able to take a joke. I'm going to try my hardest not to tell her she looks like a man anymore. It's not nice. Even if it's true, it's not nice." Spelling insisted to us that she really is "cool" with Handler's zingers. "You know what? I think Chelsea's cool," Spelling said at the awards afterparty at the Edison in downtown L.A. "I think she's really funny. But at the end of the day, it's like if she's always trashing me, then there's got to be some reason that I'm newsworthy…As long as she's funny about it, that's cool." Hosted by Kathy Griffin, the ceremony also recognized Justin Timberlake, Neil Patrick Harris, The Office, Gwen Stefani and the late Natasha Richardson, who was honored for her AIDS work.

Sandra Bullock received a special honor from the students, faculty and friends of a New Orleans high school on Friday -- and ET was there! 'The Proposal' star was inducted into the Warren Easton High School Hall of Fame, an honor presented by Arthur Hardy, the committee chairman. The Hollywood star did not actually attend the New Orleans school, but after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, she became actively involved with it, donating hundreds of thousands of dollars, including funds for its scholarship program, new band uniforms and for the renovation of the school auditorium. "Writing a check is easy when you've got it," she says. "The people who do the work here are the ones that are amazing. The people that actually do the manual labor, that are here day to day fight for these kids, know these kids by name, know their families know their hardships are the ones that really deserve the accolades." Sandra's generosity drew attention to the school's mission of public school education in post-Katrina New Orleans and generated much publicity for the school, which resulted in significant donations from around the country. Ryan Reynolds even got in on the excitement with a special message for his 'Proposal' co-star, and the two had an opportunity to see each other's high school photos for fun! In theaters June 19, 'The Proposal' stars Sandra as a feared and demanding Big Apple boss who finds herself faced with deportation back to Canada when her visa application is denied. Enter Ryan, her miserable assistant, who she coerces into marrying her in order to gain U.S. citizenship. Forced with visiting Ryan's family up in Alaska, will their ruse create suspicion, or sparks?

The 62nd Annual Cannes Film Festival announced its top honors Sunday. Quentin Tarantino's film, 'Inglourious Basterds, which stars Brad Pitt and is due in theaters on August 21, took the award for Best Actor, for Christoph Waltz's performance. Cannes' top prize, the Palme d'Or, went to German director Michael Haneke's 'The White Ribbon.' Charlotte Gainsbourg won the prize for Best Actress, for her performance in Lars von Trier's 'Antichrist.'

The curtain was drawn following the 2009 Cannes Film Festival's closing feature, Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky, but that's when the fun really started. Following the final film, judges deliberated on this year's awards winners and to the surprise of many, the Austrians and veritable newcomers came out on top. The coveted Palme d'Or—Cannes's top prize—went to Austria's Michael Haneke and his drama The White Ribbon, which centers on impending World War I guilt and tragedy. Acting honors were given out in similar fashion, as Austrian Christoph Waltz, star of Quentin Tarantino's World War II flick Inglourious Basterds, and fellow Aussie Charlotte Gainsbourg of Lars von Trier's Antichrist, were voted top thesps. Gainsbourg stars opposite veteran actor Willem Dafoe in Antichrist, whom she thanked in her speech, while Waltz showed gratitude to Tarantino saying, "Above all I owe this to [my character, Nazi Colonel] Hans Landa and his unique and inimitable creator, Quentin Tarantino." Among the surprise shutouts at this year's Cannes Festival were past Palm d'Or winners Jane Campion and Ken Loach and Oscar winners Ang Lee and Pedro Almodóvar.

After the MTV Movie Awards ended yesterday, the night was still young for A-list attendees like Cameron Diaz, Zac Efron, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Host Andy Samberg headed to an afterparty at Teddy's with his girlfriend in tow, while Cameron came solo and sipped white wine. She was spotted chatting with Heroes costars Hayden Panettiere and Zachary Quinto inside the club. Teddy's was also the place to be for Zac and Vanessa Hudgens, who couldn't keep their hands off each other at the bash. "They were holding hands, dancing close and always had their arms around each other," a source tells E! News of the twosome. Ah, young love. Speaking of (at least onscreen) amour, where were Rob and Kristen spotted celebrating their Best Kiss award? The costars had dinner alone at Cecconi's after the awards, Radar Online reports. Kristen's boyfriend Michael Angarano was nowhere in sight, according to the report. The duo was supersecretive as they slipped out the back door around 11 p.m. and reportedly even had a police escort.

Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Kathleen Turner, Jane Seymour, Matthew McConaughey and other Hollywood stars headed to the Sony Studios in Los Angeles for a special dinner to honor actor Michael Douglas -- and ET was there. Douglas received the AFI Life Achievement award, the highest honor given for a career in film.

"It's been 40 plus years that I've been doing this," Douglas tells ET. "I was a little overwhelmed but I've been taking a little inventory now, and I say why not?" ET asked Douglas' wife Catherine Zeta-Jones if her husband still gets nervous before events -- she admits his nerves do still get the best of him and jokes to ET; "If he whistled or sang the same song in the car one more time I was going to get a cab home." The AFI Life Achievement Awards will air in TV Land PRIME, the networks new prime time programming block, on July 19th at 9:00 pm.
