Who’s Wearing What: At the United Cancer Front Gala last night, Elisha Cuthbert wore a chic outfit by Monique Lhuillier. She paired a black satin bustier with a black-and-white embroidered pointelle a-line skirt with scattered sequins over laser cut tulle. She accessorized her look with a black satin and crystal clutch by Daniel Swarovski Paris and Swarovski silver crystal and pearl drop earrings that mirror the embroidery of the skirt.

Kate Bosworth, at the premiere of her new film, Beyond the Sea, on the opening night of the 2004 AFI Film Festival, carried a crystal bag by Daniel Swarovski Paris. She complimented her navy dress with a navy, gray and silver crystal "Majestic" bag, featuring a crystal cage over dark gray suede.


New TNT Drama: Turner Network Television (TNT) tells the true story of a hospital in the midst of a horrific storm with “14 Hours,” a Johnson and Johnson Spotlight Presentation. Three-time Golden Globe nominee and three-time Emmy nominee JoBeth Williams (Poltergeist, From the Earth to the Moon) and Rick Schroder (Lonesome Dove, NYPD Blue) will star in the two-hour original movie, which comes to TNT from Cosmic Entertainment, MAGNA Global Entertainment and Paramount Network Television. Goldie Hawn, Shanna Nussbaum and Jay Cohen serve as executive producers for Cosmic Entertainment, along with MAGNA Global Entertainment's Frances Croke Page and Elaine Frontain Bryant. Gregg Champion (The Cowboy Way) is directing the film from a screenplay by Danilo Bach (Beverly Hills Cop).

“14 Hours” tells the harrowing tale of a hospital in Texas besieged by a monstrous storm, one that threatens both patients and staff. But in a memorable show of community, everyone comes together to ensure that not a single life is lost during the ordeal.

Williams has starred in such memorable feature films as Kramer vs. Kramer, Poltergeist and The Big Chill, while also starring in such acclaimed television productions as The Day After, Baby M, My Name is Bill W., Breaking Through, From the Earth to the Moon and Homeward Bound. She also starred in the television series The Client. In 1994, Williams directed the short film On Hope, earning an Oscar nomination. Williams can next be seen starring in the upcoming film Fever Pitch, the new Farrelly Brothers movie with Drew Barrymore.

Schroder's credits as a child actor include The Champ, for which he earned a Golden Globe, and The Earthling, as well as several made-for-TV features. In 1982, he was cast in a starring role in the hit comedy series Silver Spoons. His career continued to blossom as he grew into adulthood, starring in such memorable television productions as Lonesome Dove, Return to Lonesome Dove and Texas, as well as the big-screen blockbuster Crimson Tide. For three seasons, he played Detective Danny Sorenson on the hit series NYPD Blue and recently starred in the A&E telefilm The Lost Battalion. This year, Schroder marked his directing debut with the boxing tale Black Cloud, which earned the Audience Award at the Phoenix Film Festival. Schroder has also been nominated for a Country Music Award as the director of the Brad Paisley/Alison Krauss music video "Whiskey Lullaby."
