Formals, face lifts, free stuff: It's Globes time
By SANDY COHEN,AP Entertainment Writer AP - Saturday, January 10
LOS ANGELES - Stars are sprucing themselves up, getting gifts and going to galas before Sunday's Golden Globes.

GOLDEN FACELIFT: At least one glittering star will admit having a face lift: the Golden Globe statuette.
The film-swathed globe atop a marble base has been revamped this year. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association spent two years refining its trademark trophy. The new one _ featuring a more detailed, accurate globe and a new marble base _ will be handed out for the first time at Sunday's ceremony.
"There's really not much change in the design," said Jorge Camara, the association's president. "It's basically the same globe with a strip of film around it _ the one that we have had since we started."
The organization also redesigned its Cecil B. DeMille award, presented annually in recognition of outstanding contributions to the entertainment industry. This year's honoree, Steven Spielberg, will be the first recipient of the redesigned award.
The revamped statuettes also come with a new leather-bound, velvet-lined case, Camara said, adding that previous Golden Globe winners are welcome to upgrade to the new statue: "We will be very happy to replace them if they want to."

MAKE YOUR OWN BLING: For actors and actresses who take home trophies at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards, the bling doesn't stop there. Each winner will also be invited to design their own jewelry to benefit the Stars for a Cause charity.
Winning stars will be invited to work with celebrity jeweler Robyn Rhodes to create one-of-a-kind items to wear on the red carpet during awards season. Men can also design their own diamond-studded shoes with Auri Footwear. Once they've worn the custom items, each piece will be auctioned to benefit the star's favorite charity.
Rhodes has already interpreted the gem-encrusted visions of William Shatner, Goldie Hawn, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges and Jesse McCartney. Though none designed jewelry before, "they know what they want," Rhodes said.
"I'm pleasantly surprised because it seems that they do have a vision," she said. (For example, Shatner sought "something celestial" for his cuff links and tuxedo studs.)
The only hitch is that some stars have been reluctant to part with their custom pieces, Rhodes said.
"They actually want to have a replica for their own collection," she said. "They don't want to give it up. They designed it and it's special."
All the star-designed items will be auctioned May 28.
