It’s Mother’s Day here in the States so I want to take a moment to wish Amy lots of joy and happiness today. Aviana will be celebrating her 1st birthday in a week as well so this month must be so amazing for Amy and her family.

While not exactly Amy related, I still felt it was relevant. My condolences go out to the Ward family and friends.

The mother and manager of retired boxing champion Micky Ward has died aged 79.

Alice Ward, who was played by Melissa Leo in the Oscar-winning film The Fighter, was taken off a life support machine at a Boston hospital while surrounded by her family.

Her son, Dicky Eklund, confirmed her death on Wednesday after she suffered a heart attack in January and described his mother as ‘the leader of our family’.

Hey all! Going to take a moment away from Amy-land and shamelessly advertise my new site dedicated to Minka Kelly. Her most famous role is probably that of Lyla Garrity in Friday Night Lights but she’s been in lots of other film and television projects. If you’re a fan of hers, be sure to give Minka Kelly Network a visit!

Celebrity makeup artist Molly Stern made up Amy Adams to look modern and ethereal, as if she were a “monument to sea goddesses.” Molly accomplished this for the star of “The Fighter” with luminous eyes and glistening lips.

Amy is wearing a Herve L. Leroux gown, Casadei shoes, and Kimberly McDonald jewels. Overall I thought she looked amazing but I can’t help but think that she would’ve looked even better if the dress was a different color.

“Playing Charlene was truly an inspiring experience and I’m so proud and grateful to have been a part of this movie. It’s an honor to be nominated in the same category as Melissa, and alongside such incredible actresses.”

Amy Adams selected a strapless teal blue gown by Marchesa, which featured lasercut detailing on its scalloped bodice, for her walk down the Golden Globes red carpet. “This is our first time dressing Amy and we couldn’t be more thrilled,” Marchesa designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig told InStyle.com exclusively. “She is always so elegant.” This Marchesa creation is part of the label’s pre-fall 2011 collection, and the designers shared an exclusive sketch of the look, shown left, with InStyle! Adams, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress that night, finished the look with a rectangle clutch by Kilian Hennessy.

I want to wish Amy, Darren, Aviana, and all the loyal Enchanting Amy visitors a very merry Christmas and holidays. Have fun and most importantly, be safe! Due to it being Christmas weekend, the site likely won’t be updated over the next few days. I have some treats lined up and ready to go for next week including tons more videos for our archive, a year in review look back at 2010, and a couple other goodies.

Feel free to leave your Christmas wishes to Amy as a comment below. I don’t believe she has ever visited the site but you never know…

I wanted to take a moment to remind Amy fans that there is a wonderful forum on the web where you can discuss her career, style and more. It’s officially a part of the Amy Adams Fan network, but I visit it almost daily and highly recommend it. So if you have a few spare moments, register and join in on the conversations.
