Reese Witherspoon, nominated for best actress in a musical or comedy for her work in 'Walk the Line,' arrives for the 63rd Annual Golden Globe Awards on Monday, Jan. 16, 2006, in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The Dress Non-Controversy

Golden Globe winner Reese Witherspoon is wearing the same glittery Chanel cocktail dress that Kirsten Dunst had worn to the awards in 2003. The fashion house apologized for 'the oversight.' Witherspoon's publicist Nancy Ryder plans a boycott of Chanel for all of her clients. We cannot believe the big damn fuss over "dressgate" and think it's ridiculous. Dunst looked cute three years ago. Witherspoon looks beautiful now. GET OVER IT.

About Platinum

Platinum is prized for its Pure, Rare and Eternal qualities:


PURE: Platinum's high level of purity (generally 90%-95% pure) endows it with both a natural white luster, allowing the true radiance of a diamond or gemstone to shine; and hypoallergenic qualities that prove ideal for sensitive skin. Only the purest platinum jewelry will bear a stamp reading "PLATINUM," "PLAT," "Pt 950," or "Pt 900," signifying the jewelry is 90% to 95% pure platinum.

RARE: Platinum is 30 times more rare than gold.

ETERNAL: Platinum will hold a diamond or gemstone securely, now and for always.
