Sunday night Julianna Margulies won Best Actress at the SAG Awards and found a way to thank her in-laws in the acceptance speech. Definitely a rarity, she explains the very sweet reason she did such a thing.
♦ It was the Metropolitan Opera's 125th opening night on Monday and so naturally a long list of recognizable faces trooped out for the occasion.

Because what you probably needed this morning was an unobstructed shot of ER star Julianna Margulies's genitals, we dutifully present for you that very thing, taken at the Narciso Rodriguez show at New York's Fashion Week last night. With triple-VMA-winner Britney Spears back from the brink, we figured it was but a matter of time before someone inherited the ladyflower-flashing mantle. We just never pictured it would be Nurse Hathaway. The offending very NSFW bits are after the jump.
