The red carpet of the Academy Awards was not the only place last night to laugh at Zoe Saldana or drool over Taylor Lautner.

Following the ceremony, anyone who is anyone – and even anyone who is slowly becoming no one (hi, Jessica Simpson!) – stopped by the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

When Evan Bayh announced last month that he would not seek reelection as the Indiana Senator, an unusual name surfaced as his replacement: Kendra Wilkinson. Might the former naked model consider it? To quote a political figure with the same IQ as Kendra: You betcha!

“I don’t even know what the Senate does,” Kendra tells Details magazine in a new interview, sounding more and more like Sarah Palin. “I’ll run for it, but I don’t really know what it means. I would definitely campaign for better education in schools and donate more money to inner-city schools and stuff like that.

“I would definitely love to see kids have more focus in life with sports and stuff, and I know that, like, Mr. Schwarzenegger wants to take away our sports and our art. I’m totally 100 percent against that. Our kids need focus, especially these days when there are drugs all over the place.”

On her new house: It’s so fricking amazing. It’s in Tarzana, L.A. I’d never heard of it before, but it’s almost better than Hollywood. I can’t wait to show the house off on TV. Five bedrooms, like, seven bathrooms, a pool, a grotto-type thing.

Mumbai, Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, who is blessed with a good figure, says she does not believe in being size zero as the Indian body type is not meant for it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I personally feel that the Indian body type is not cut out to be size zero. I am not size zero and I don’t believe in that either,” Deepika told IANS. I believe that it’s nice to be little full and have a nice shape,” she added.

The Bollywood actress was the show stopper for designer duo Shantanu & Nikhil’s show at the Lakme Fashion Week here Sunday.

According to Deepika, an actress gets a role for her performance and not the body type.

“In the (film) industry, body size doesn’t matter. What matters is how much an actor contributes through his performance and not his body size,” explained Deepika.

“It is important that every person should wear clothes that go with their body – the cut, the fabric make a lot of difference,” she added.
