Duff had launched a Tween Army defensive in the propaganda war against Dunaway, who'd previously wondered why producers couldn't "get a real actress" for the forthcoming The Story of Bonnie and Clyde. But it proved to be an untenable attack ("I think it was a little unnecessary but I might be mad if I looked like that now too"), crushed by Dunaway's legend and other wintry conditions that forced Duff to stand down in time for today's Bonnie Hunt Show:

"[Dunaway] started acting way later than I did so I think I have time to grow and grow with each project. I am learning and work hard at my craft."

Bonnie comforts Hilary and says, "I think even Faye went through a time, if you look historically, where some people might have said that about her. She has great beauty but she proved herself."

Duff admits that what she said was mean but says, "It's not OK for people to take stabs at you and to say mean things for no reason."

We don't know what the ensuing Cold War period will bring, but even the flimsiest of olive branches is to be commended with so much at stake for moviegoers worldwide. May that other great superpower Warren Beatty uphold their peace, sparing Duff's Clyde Barrow-reviving co-star a similar, "I take dumps bigger than Kevin Zegers" indignity in the crucial months ahead.

• The Bonnie Hunt Show

Instead, look to E!'s Daily 10, which sought the starlet's reaction to mildly critical comments — "Couldn't they at least cast a real actress?'' — attributed last week to original Bonnie Faye Dunaway. Clearly the Oscar-winner has some catching up to do with the glimmering Duff canon, but it's now evident that the young performer doesn't plan to wait around for that enlightenment:

Regarding comments Dunaway made about Duff not being a “real actress” in the new The Story of Bonnie and Clyde, Duff says: “I think that my fans that are going to go see the movie don't even know who she is, so you know…. I think it was a little unnecessary but I might be mad if I looked like that now too."

Whoa, Hilary. The plastic surgery card? Not nice — and quite possibly a self-destructive tactical error for a young lady who has the dirty bomb that is Agent Cody Banks sitting out unprotected for anyone who wants to detonate it. Not that Dunaway will stop there; expect her also to retroactively invoke a use for wire hangers if and/or when she gets the chance. This is war.

• 'Daily 10' [E!]

7. Ellen Page: On the biggest night of her short career, we're happy she didn't go with jeans, but couldn't she have gone one step up on the glamour meter?
6. Jennifer Hudson: Not quite as bad as last year's python-y jacket combo, but can't she keep those funbags from attacking us on sight?
5. Marlee Matlin: Just eh, you know? Stiff tube dress in black and white? Go for pizazz to match the personality!

4. Diablo Cody: Oh dear. The diamond collar, the leopard print, the visible tattoos. Kudos for daring Academy members to Take Notice and all, but an animal print dress will always be an animal print dress: tackiness exemplified.
3. Sissy Spacek: Sissy isn't yet old enough to require Oprah-esque jacket cover-ups. We suspect those arms of hers are toned enough to show off.
2. Tilda Swinton: Like Cate Blanchett, Tilda likes taking fashion risks. But a velvety black curtain paired with barely-there makeup? New addition to the Addams Family.

1. Faye Dunaway: Reminiscent of Cher and Barbara Streisand at their most bizarre, we at least give her credit for not flashing her tush.

In today's episode: Josh Brolin; Al Pacino and Beverly D'Angelo; Jamie Lee Curtis; Michael Cera; Michael Keaton; Adam Brody and Scott Adsit; Faye Dunaway; Gabrielle Anwar; Joel Madden; Cynthia Watros; Becki Newton; and Rami Kashou.

· Dec 2 - Josh Brolin at the Arclight on Sunset. Kneeling down to have what seemed a heartfelt conversation with a lady in a wheel chair. A solid and caring fellow.

· Al Pacino and Beverly D'Angelo sighting - Nov 27 - Fresh from an amazing massage at the Massage Garage I decided to stop off at the Coffee Bean on Olympic and Bundy on my way home. Nothing says "after massage drink" than an English Breakfast Latte. I'm still in the haze of having has all my knots and such worked out and hardly notice the people around me. All I know is that there is no line for everyone has already been served their coffee and tea or whatever. After I place my order I walk to the pick up location and glance over to a man and a woman sitting at the window facing Olympic. I nearly wet myself when I see that it is Al Pacino. His hair was all out of place as though he had just rolled out of bed but he still looked sexy. Seriously, he did. I know that is sort of odd since the man could be my grandfather, okay, father, but he is quite sexy. Unlike Al, Beverly's hair was perfectly coiffed and she looked hot. I wish I had the guts to sit next to them and sip on my latte while listening in on their conversation. Oh well.

Oh, and yesterday (Nov 26) I saw Jamie Lee Curtis on Wilshire in Santa Monica leaving the Whole Foods. She had a cloth Whole Foods bag over one shoulder and was heading back to her car.

· Jamie Lee Curtis on Little Santa Monica near Le Pain Quotidienne in Beverly Hills while I was there sipping lemonade. IMDB says she just turned 49, so I gotta' say, Wanda Gershwitz was looking good - strutting along apparently happy and healthy in a long sleeved black T and jeans. That is all.

· We saw George Michael (Michael Cera) last night (Dec 1) on Avocado Street in Los Feliz, in the back of restaurant Mexico City. He was having a delightful animated conversation with a young lady who was sitting on a brick wall. He looked adorable and it was all I could do not to run up to them, tackle him, and hug him until he could no longer breathe. Fearing prosecution, I controlled myself.

· Saturday, December 1. Michael Keaton at Peet's Coffee on Main Street in Santa Monica, in hat and sunglasses, sitting with us plebes, looking fit, if a tad old. But still has it.

· My friend and I went for a casual late lunch at KING'S ROAD CAFE after our day of sample sale shopping...and a super hot blond Australian sat down next to us...and 2 minutes later Adam Brody. They were talking about a "project" they were potentially doing together and he said he was super excited/nervous about getting the part...(THE FLASH maybe??) then just as we were getting out food Scott Adsit (Peter-30 Rock) sat down on the other side. And he was with the most beautiful model-type with long legs. I thought the best part of my day was my deals at the sample sale, but nothing like a little celeb sighting.

· Faye Dunaway works out at my gym. She wears the same thing every morning - blue sweatsuit, white baseball cap and a plastic glove on usually only one hand (my friend says when she's saner she wears them on both hands - one for milk, the other for meat). She weighs maybe 85 pounds wet and doesn't color her hair anymore. She is pulled tight beyond recognition and can scare small children. Yesterday (Nov 26) I noticed that she was wearing an ipod and I couldn't help but wonder what Mommie Dearest must have on her ipod. It sure as Hell ain't Doris Day. More like Nine Inch Nails.

· So I was at the Apple Store in Santa Monica Monday morning when I hear this great British accent, look over and there is Gabrielle Anwar trying to get her iPhone fixed. A little older (as am I - we're a month apart it turns out) and tiny—really tiny— but still super cute. It was a real synchronicity moment for me since "For Love Or Money" was on Sunday and that got me wondering what she was up to these days. The best part was the super cheesey dude who then tried to pick her up as she was looking at cases for her phone. Man was it painful to listen to him offer to buy her coffee... she was, however, super nice to him and when he left she had a smile and a look on her face that said "What was he thinking?" Couldn't agree more: lamest pickup attempt. Ever.

· I decided to brave the hell that is The Grove on saturday night 12/1. coming out of Nordstrom, noticed Joel Madden, aka Mr. Nicole Richie, waiting out front. no one really noticed him. figured he might be waiting for Nicole. nope, just some emo guy. google tells me it was the keyboard/rhythm guitar player in his band, Billy Martin.

· Thursday, 2:15pm
Just spotted Cynthia Watros (Libby, season 2 of Lost) in the parking lot of the Whole Foods at 3rd and Fairfax. She was with another gal, who had on a shirt that read, "unfair isn't funny" or something like that. Writer? Anyway, Watros is normal height, thin but not scary, had no makeup on—in workout type clothes. If she had been driving, I would have run for cover, but she just stood around.

· I saw the girl who plays Amanda (BECKI NEWTON) on Ugly Betty leaving either Ona Spa or Prive last Saturday, leggings, arm in harm with her gay, and slightly darker in the hair department. Totally bigger than she looks on TV in a good way. She looks like the 2nd most popular girl on a boarding school field hockey team. She had cute teeth. Is that weird?

· Dec 2 - At the Ralph's in Silver Lake - Rami Kashou from the current season of Project Runway. I saw last season's winner Jeffrey Sebelia there earlier this year, so maybe it's the Project Runway Ralph's. Rock 'n Roll Ralph's can suck it.

In today's episode: Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber; Kate Bosworth; Michael Bay; Faye Dunaway; Jon Heder; Nancy Reagan; David Hasselhoff; Kevin Connolly; Soleil Moon Frye; Adam Brody; Ian Ziering; Jason Priestley; Kevin Weisman; Kelly Osbourne; Camryn Manheim; Tom Bosley; Maria Menounos; Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Angelyne.

· @ the new Pinkberry in Brentwood Wed 7/11 8:30pm. We had just picked up our order when my boyfriend (who is as "non-Hollywood" as it gets) spots a dude in a red hooded sweatshirt at the cash register and asks, "Hey, isn't that some actor guy?" Actor guy turns out to be Liev Schreiber, and as I'm preoccupied explaining this to the bf I almost fail to notice a very pregnant Naomi Watts a few inches away from me, walking up to get her yogurt. She looks different in person and didn't seem to be wearing makeup, but kudos to her for braving the ever-present crowd at Pinkberry au naturale AND pregnant. After they left the store a few passers by stopped and talked to them, but other than that they seemed to go unnoticed. A very casual, seemingly down to earth and normal couple.

· Kate Bosworth at Pinkberry. July 10. She stood patiently in line, by herself, looking perfectly small and gorgeous.

· A bit late (sorry) but rather apropos, given your repeated references to all that is 'Transformers'. MICHAEL BAY himself, hanging poolside at the Beverly Hills Hotel, July 4th. He joined a group of heavily-enhanced / worked out OC-types who were drinking / sunning their surgeried bodies in a cabana. Arrived just in time to chow down on a burger & fries (Dude! Eat something! You're too skinny!). Checked out my 3 girlfriends & I; I don't care how much your movie just grossed; dream on, buddy! Left early, no doubt to battle Malibu traffic in time for the (fogged in) fireworks.

· Tuesday, 7-10: A 5:00 show of "Broken English" at the Sunset-5 is interrupted when a batty specimen, none other than Faye Dunaway herself, walks into the theater and sits down halfway through the movie. Notably on her person are a distinctive white baseball cap and a single, white glove on one hand, which has faint traces of hair dye. The movie ends, Faye stays firmly put in her seat, while the humbled theater staff cleans up waste and carefully watches the movement of their trash pails so as not to disturb her, because she is now immersed in a trancelike stupor, eyes closed, sans footwear. An hour after the next show has started, Mommie Dearest finally emerges, and walks out the front door, while an aura of wonder/horror lingers in her wake.

· July 11: Just saw Jon Heder and his twin brother at the Kwik E Mart in Burbank. No one recognized him, they were too busy getting squishees.

· so i know this is not as goovy as most, but yesterday (7-12) at Jessica nails on sunset plaza i saw Nancy Reagan coming out from getting her nails done.....i even intro'd myself to her, but she couldn't shake my hand cuz her nails, light pink were still damp. she got into her red (isn't it nancy reagan red) car, she was wearing a lovely light blue pants suit, with a driver and a guy with a ear piece. she looks amazing for being what 150 years old! i kinda felt like i had just met the 'queen'..........

· Looking like a tanned caricature of himself, David Hasselhoff ate lunch at Iroha on Ventura today (7-11). He's very freckley in person. I looked away.

· Tonight (7/11) around 10 pm at Blowfish Sushi, Kevin Connolly was chatting 3 tables down with some woman and one (or was it two?) guys. My girl spotted him first, I didn't even see him sit down. She's dying to see Jeremy Piven, but by the way she was, uh, "admiring" (staring at) him, E was a good find. Bigger than I expected.

· Just saw Punky Brewster (Soleil Moon Frye) walking down Larchmont talking on her phone (7-10). It's been about five years since I last saw her wasted at the Circle Bar, she seems much more mom-like now. Still very cute, still got those giant but tastefully deflated boobs. Remember before the reduction when she guested on that episode of Wonder Years where she pushed Kevin Arnold into the lake and when she bent over to try to catch him....woah.

Also, just remembered I saw Adam Brody dorking out at the Decemberists on Sat night, but looks like others found him too.

· A very tan Steve Sanders, ahem, Ian Ziering hiking up Runyon Canyon on Tuesday (7-10). He's, gasp, better looking in person than I would have thought, seeing as how I never gave him notice on 90210. And Brandon was hotter than Dylan. Just saying.

· I haven't sent any of these before, but these celebrities are everywhere! Today, about 30 minutes ago (7-12), Jason Priestley at the Trader Joe's on Riverside in Toluca Lake...with an older woman that had to be his mom...Later!

· Yesterday (July 12, 2007) Kevin Weisman patronized Starbucks on Sunset and Gower (where I happen to work). After he ordered his drink I let him know that he was the best part of "Alias." His response: "Ok, well now you get the rest of the money... becuase you were niice" said with a smile. Then he thanked me for the compliment and (hopefully) enjoyed his tall non-fat cap. Nice guy, that Kevin fellow.

· Tuesday July 10, spotted Kelly Osbourne in the VVIP area at the Klaxons' El Rey show with members of the Like (was it a daughters-of-rockers night out?) and a bunch of record label douches. Kelly was FREAKING OUT because she thought someone had taken her jacket.

· Today (7-11)on Abbot-Kinney in Venice, at 7pm, I saw Camryn Manheim (of "The Practice" and "This one's for all the fat girls" fame) crossing the street, smiling and laughing with her cute, shaggy-haired son, Milo. She looked good!

· "Mr. Cunningham" Tom Bosley at my eye doctor in BH yesterday (7-11). He was just sitting in the exam chair wearing dark glasses. Someone there told me he either loves you or hates you, nothing in between.

· On Monday, 7/10 at about 2:30 PM, I decided to take a quick break from work by taking a walk outside. I spotted some teamsters sitting on their butts on apple carts that said "Access Hollywood". Second later, I spotted Maria Menounos, full of attitude, wearing her "I'm-too-cool-for-you" aviators and a summery dress coming out of Madison with a beefy bald man-handler/producer wearing a Simon Cowell-esque black t-shirt. I'm guessing she was there to film something at Kitson.

· Saw Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds (the guy that Eddie Murphy's girlfriend used to be married to) with a surprising small entourage making his way through the baggage claim last night (7-10). Still looks in shock from all that money Tracey took from him. He looks like he's 50.

· On the 10th, I saw a suspiciously pink Corvette parked in front of the newstand on Beverly Drive. Could it be? Was it she? Yeah it was! I love Angelyne sightings.
