Megan Fox: Brian Austin Green Picked My "Tight" Golden Globes Dress

Megan Fox has been communicating with a higher power. Wearing a bra and underwear on the cover of Esquire's February issue, the 26-year-old actress opens up about her surprising religious views.

Fox tells the magazine she began speaking in tongues around the age of 8, when she attended a Pentecostal church in Tennessee. "The energy is so intense in the room that you feel like anything can happen," Brian Austin Green's wife recalls. "They're going to hate that I compare it to this, but have you ever watched footage of a Santeria gathering or someone doing voodoo? You know how palpable the energy is? Whatever's going on there, it's for real."

The Friends With Kids actress -- who welcomed son Noah on Sept. 27, 2012 -- says she has seen "magical, crazy things" happen in church. "I've seen people be healed. Even now, in the church I go to, during Praise and Worship I could feel that I was maybe getting ready to speak in tongues, and I'd have to shut it off because I don't know what that church would do if I started screaming out in tongues in the back."

"It feels like a lot of energy coming through the top of your head -- I'm going to sound like such a lunatic -- and then your whole body is filled with this electric current. And you just start speaking, but you're not thinking because you have no idea what you're saying. Words are coming out of your mouth, and you can't control it," Fox explains. "The idea is that it's a language that only God understands. It's the language that's spoken in heaven. It's called 'getting the Holy Ghost.'"

Unlike her Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen costar Lindsay Lohan, Fox says she "can't stand pills" and doesn't "like drinking."

"I have to feel like I'm in control of my body. And I know what you're thinking: Then why would I want to go to church and speak in tongues?" she laughs. "You have to understand, there I feel safe. I was raised to believe that you're safe in God's hands. But I don't feel safe with myself."

Fox -- who also admits to believing in leprechauns and the Loch Ness monster -- tells Esquire she is "childlike in my spirit, and I want to believe in fairy tales."

"I believe in all of this stuff," the star of This Is 40 says. "I believe in all of it."

Golden Globes: Ben Affleck's Argo scoops two awards

Ben Affleck has won best director for his film Argo at the Golden Globe awards.

Argo, set amidst the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, also won best drama.
Best actor in a drama went to Daniel Day-Lewis for his role in the biopic Lincoln, while Jessica Chastain won best actress in a drama for Zero Dark Thirty.
Earlier, British singer Adele won best song for the theme to the James Bond film Skyfall.
Collecting her trophy, she said: "Honestly, I've come out for a night out with my friend Ida - we're new mums - I have literally come for a night out. I was not expecting this."

The Golden Globes gives a separate accolade for best film musical or comedy, which was won by Tom Hooper's film of stage hit Les Miserables - the only British film to win an award.
It won three in total, with actress Anne Hathaway winning best supporting actress for her portrayal of Fantine in the film.
"Thank you for this lovely blunt object that I will forevermore use as a weapon against self-doubt," she said as she collected her trophy.
The film's lead Hugh Jackman won best actor in a musical or comedy.
Eric Fellner, producer of Les Miserables and co-chairman of Working Title Film, said: "Making this film was an incredibly risky proposition.
"But so much passion and love was put into the making of it and that's what seems to have won out."

Dame Maggie Smith won best supporting actress in a series for her role in Downton Abbey.
Homeland took best TV drama, with Damian Lewis winning best TV actor for his role in the series.

Director Tom Hooper saw his two stars, Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman, win awards

Quentin Tarantino, accepting the best screenplay award for his film Django Unchained, said: "This is a damn surprise, and I'm happy to be surprised."
Christoph Waltz took best supporting actor for his role in the film.
But the western lost out to Argo in the best drama category along with Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, Life of Pi, Ang Lee's adaption of the Yann Martel novel, and Zero Dark Thirty, Kathryn Bigelow's film about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden.
Amour, directed by Austria's Michael Haneke, won best foreign film.
In the drama actor category, Day-Lewis was shortlisted alongside fellow Oscar candidates Denzel Washington and Joaquin Phoenix.
Silver Linings Playbook star Bradley Cooper was also nominated for the award, with both men also nominated in the best actor category at the Oscars.
The best actress in a musical or comedy category was won by Cooper's co-star in Silver Linings Playbook, Jennifer Lawrence.
Accepting her award, Lawrence thanked producer Harvey Weinstein for "killing whoever you had to kill to get me up here".

Adele sparkled in a floor-length black gown at the ceremony in Los Angeles

The ceremony was also visited by former President Bill Clinton, who praised historical drama Lincoln.
"President Lincoln's struggle to abolish slavery reminds us that enduring progress is forged in a cauldron of both principle and compromise," he said. "This brilliant film shows us how he did it and gives us hope that we can do it again."
The ceremony's co-host Amy Poehler, said after Clinton left the stage, "Wow, what an exciting special guest! That was Hillary Clinton's husband!"
Comedy actresses Poehler and 30 Rock star Tina Fey took over presenter duties from Britain's Ricky Gervais, who had hosted the ceremony for the last three years.
The pair were both nominated for the best TV comedy actress prize for their work in 30 Rock and Parks and Recreation respectively.
"Tina, I just want to say that I very much hope that I win," said Poehler, as the ceremony began.

VERDICT ON HOSTS

• "It was nice to see Fey and Poehler prove that they could be fantastic, funny hosts while also staying out of the limelight." Hollywood Reporter
• "Nearly every joke told or stunt pulled by hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler was solidly, often exceedingly, funny, from Poehler's line 'When it comes to torture I trust the woman married for three years to James Cameron' to Fey's admonition to Taylor Swift to 'stay away from Michael J Fox's son' - startled-looking, handsome Sam Fox, this year's Mr. Golden Globe." Entertainment Weekly
• "For all the hype in having former and current nominees Amy Poehler and Tina Fey as hosts, their performances didn't add much to this year's Golden Globes ceremony." Daily Telegraph

However, they were both pipped by Lena Dunham, creator and star of sitcom Girls, which also won best comedy TV series.

Assisting Poehler and Fey on stage were Mr and Miss Golden Globes, the recipients of honorary titles that are traditionally awarded annually to the children of celebrities with their own ambitions in the industry.
Sam Michael Fox, son of Michael J Fox, and Clint Eastwood's daughter Francesca were the two scions selected this year by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HPFA), organisers of the awards.
Two-time Oscar winner, Jodie Foster, who has also won two Globes from seven nominations, received the Cecil B DeMille Award for lifetime achievement.
She used her thank-you speech to make an impassioned plea for privacy.
"If you had been a public figure from the time that you were a toddler, if you'd had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, then maybe you too might value privacy above all else. Privacy. Some day, in the future, people will look back and remember how beautiful it once was."
The Silence Of The Lambs star also addressed her sexuality for the first time in public, saying she had come out to "trusted friends and family", then "gradually, proudly" to everyone she met.
"But now I'm told, apparently that every celebrity is expected to honour the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a prime-time reality show."
The 50-year-old went on to thank her former partner Cydney Bernard, her two sons and her mother Evelyn, before pledging to keep making films.
"Here's to the next 50 years."
The ceremony was shown live in the US on the NBC network, with edited highlights to follow in the UK on the 5USA channel on Monday.

Golden Globes: In quotes

The Golden Globes ceremony is often seen as a less formal, more relaxed cousin to the Oscars - as evidenced in the night's speeches.

Here are some of the highlights from the stage at the 2013 ceremony, including Jodie Foster's enigmatic acceptance of the lifetime achievement award.

AMY POEHLER and TINA FEY - opening monologue

 

Fey (l) was Globe nominated for her role in 30 Rock while Poehler was nominated for Parks and Recreation

Fey: "Tonight we honour the television shows that have entertained us all year, as well as the films that have only been in theatres for two days."
Poehler: "That's what makes tonight so special. Only at the Golden Globes, do the beautiful people of film rub shoulders with the rat-faced people of television."
Poehler: "It was a great year for women in film. Kathryn Bigelow [is] nominated tonight. I haven't really been following the controversy over Zero Dark Thirty, but when it comes to torture, I trust the lady who spent three years married to James Cameron."
Fey: "The Hunger Games was one of the biggest films of the year and also what I call the six weeks it took me to get into this dress."
Poehler: "Ang Lee's been nominated for Life of Pi which is what I'm going to call the six weeks after I take this dress off."

ADELE - receiving the best song award

 

 Adele is also nominated for an Oscar for the title track from the latest Bond adventure

"Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh My God!
"Honestly, I have come out for a night out with my friend Ida - we're new mums - we've literally come for a night out. Thank you so much. Oh God!
"It's very strange to be here. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your world for a night. We've been pissing ourselves laughing at all of it.
"I'd like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press, I never thought I'd say that. Sony pictures; MGM; Sam Mendes; Paul Epworth, who I did the song with; Daniel Craig for being such a wonderful Bond.
"And this is for my boyfriend, Simon, who convinced me to do it, and my lovely son."

BEN AFFLECK - receiving the best director award

 

Affleck has also been nominated for a Bafta for his award-winning movie

Affleck received his prize from Halle Berry who, moments before, had announced the names of the five nominees, including Kathryn Bigelow, Ang Lee, Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino.
"Look, I don't care what the award is. When they put your name next to the names that she just read out, it's an extraordinary thing in your life.
"These nominees are exceptional talents. I truly to God never thought I would be in the same breath as them.
"I gotta thank my agent Patrick Whitesell who was with me when I was like a nobody, then when I was somebody, then when I was in a little bit of trouble. He stuck with me then, too, and we tried to put it back together."

JODIE FOSTER - Cecil B DeMille award for lifetime achievement

 

Foster's first starring role was as an underage prostitute opposite Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver

"Trust me, 47 years in the film business is a long time. You just ask those Golden Globies, because you crazy kids, you've been around here forever... It is the most fun party of the year, and tonight I feel like the prom queen.
"Thank you. Looking at all those clips, you know, the hairdos and the freaky platform shoes, it's like a home-movie nightmare that just won't end, and all of these people sitting here at these tables, they're my family of sorts, you know. Fathers mostly. Executives, producers, the directors, my fellow actors out there. We've giggled through love scenes, we've punched and cried and spit and vomited and blown snot all over one another — and those are just the co-stars I liked.
"But, you know, more than anyone else I share my most special memories with members of the crew. Blood-shaking friendships, brothers and sisters. We made movies together, and you can't get more intimate than that.
"So while I'm here being all confessional, I guess I have a sudden urge to say something that I've never really been able to air in public. So, a declaration that I'm a little nervous about but maybe not quite as nervous as my publicist right now, huh Jennifer? But I'm just going to put it out there, right? Loud and proud, right? So I'm going to need your support on this.
"I am... single.
"Yes I am, I am single. No, I'm kidding — but I mean I'm not really kidding, but I'm kind of kidding. I mean, thank you for the enthusiasm. Can I get a wolf whistle or something?
"I hope that you're not disappointed that there won't be a big coming-out speech tonight because I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago back in the Stone Age. Those very quaint days when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends and family and co-workers and then gradually, proudly to everyone who knew her, to everyone she actually met.
"But now, apparently, I'm told that every celebrity is expected to honour the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a prime-time reality show.
"And you guys might be surprised, but I am not Honey Boo Boo Child. No, I'm sorry, that's just not me. It never was and it never will be. But please don't cry because my reality show would be so boring. I would have to make out with Marion Cotillard or I'd have to spank Daniel Craig's bottom just to stay on the air. It's not bad work if you can get it, though.
"But seriously, if you had been a public figure from the time that you were a toddler, if you'd had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, then maybe you too might value privacy above all else. Privacy. Some day, in the future, people will look back and remember how beautiful it once was.
"I have given everything up there from the time that I was three years old. That's reality show enough, don't you think?

 

 Foster has won two previous Globes from seven nominations

"There are a few secrets to keeping your psyche intact over such a long career. The first: Love people and stay beside them. That table over there, 222, way out in Idaho, Paris, Stockholm, that one, next to the bathroom with all the unfamous faces, the very same faces for all these years. My acting agent, Joe Funicello — Joe, do you believe it, 38 years we've been working together? Even though he doesn't count the first eight.
"Matt Saver, Pat Kingsley, Jennifer Allen, Grant Niman and his uncle Jerry Borack, may he rest in peace. Lifers. My family and friends here tonight and at home, and of course, Mel Gibson. You know you save me too.
"There is no way I could ever stand here without acknowledging one of the deepest loves of my life, my heroic co-parent, my ex-partner in love but righteous soul sister in life, my confessor, ski buddy, consigliere, most beloved BFF of 20 years, Cydney Bernard. Thank you, Cyd.
"I am so proud of our modern family. Our amazing sons, Charlie and Kit, who are my reason to breathe and to evolve, my blood and soul. And boys, in case you didn't know it, this song, all of this, this song is for you.
"This brings me to the greatest influence of my life, my amazing mother, Evelyn. Mom, I know you're inside those blue eyes somewhere and that there are so many things that you won't understand tonight. But this is the only important one to take in: I love you, I love you, I love you. And I hope that if I say this three times, it will magically and perfectly enter into your soul, fill you with grace and the joy of knowing that you did good in this life. You're a great mom. Please take that with you when you're finally OK to go.
"You see, Charlie and Kit, sometimes mom, your mom loses it too. And I can't help but get moony, you know. This feels like the end of one era and the beginning of something else. Scary and exciting and now what?
"Well, I may never be up on this stage again, on any stage for that matter. Change, you gotta love it. I will continue to tell stories, to move people by being moved - the greatest job in the world. It's just that from now on, I may be holding a different talking stick. And maybe it won't be as sparkly, maybe it won't open on 3,000 screens, maybe it will be so quiet and delicate that only dogs can hear it whistle. But it will be my writing on the wall: Jodie Foster was here, I still am, and I want to be seen, to be understood deeply and to be not so very lonely.
"Thank you, all of you, for the company. Here's to the next 50 years."

BILL CLINTON - introducing Lincoln as a best film nominee

 

 The former president was referred to by co-host Poehler as "Hillary Clinton's husband"

The former US president flew in to California just as the Golden Globes ceremony began. Although he was officially visiting the state for another event, regarding his charity work, he stopped by the Golden Globes to endorse Steven Spielberg's biopic of Abraham Lincoln.
He described the film's plot as: "A tough fight to push a bill through a bitterly divided House of Representatives.
"Winning it required the president to make a lot of unsavoury deals that had nothing to do with the big issue. I wouldn't know anything about that.
"President Lincoln's struggle to abolish slavery reminds us that enduring progress is forged in a cauldron of both principle and compromise. This brilliant film shows us how we did it, and gives us hope that we can do it again.
"In Lincoln, we see a man more interesting than the legend, and a far better guide for future presidents. Every hard-fought effort to protect our union has demanded the same combination of steely resolve and necessary compromises that Lincoln mastered to preserve the union and end slavery. We're all here tonight because he did."

JENNIFER LAWRENCE - receiving the best actress award

 

Lawrence has also been nominated for an Oscar

As Lawrence took to the stage, she read the inscription on her trophy and said: "What does it say? 'I beat Meryl!'"
The comment garnered criticism on Twitter, from people who thought she was making a dig at fellow nominee Meryl Streep.
In fact, she was referencing the 1996 film First Wives Club, in which Bette Midler tells Goldie Hawn's character: "Once you were a terrific actress. You even got an Oscar to prove it... 'I beat Meryl.' That's what it says."
Lawrence's speech continued with praise for her Silver Linings Playbook director David O Russell and co-star Bradley Cooper.
"I am so honoured to be part of a film like this. David, thank you for believing in me and giving me a chance. There's a reason why so many actors have thanked you from this stage, you are simply the best.
"Bradley, you're incredible and you made me better every single day.
"Harvey [Weinstein, producer] thank you for killing whoever you had to kill to get me up here."

Jessica Alba Wears $5.8 Million Diamond Necklace at Golden Globes

Jessica Alba knocked it out of the park at the 70th Annual Golden Globes.

Jodie Foster: I'm Not Retiring, Coming Out Speech "Speaks for Itself"

Jodie Foster is not ready to walk out into the sunset, thank you very much. After delivering a powerful, news-making speech at the Golden Globes in Beverly Hills on Sunday Jan. 13 -- in which the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award winner acknowledged that she's gay and seemed to hint at retirement -- Foster, 50, clarified her statements to reporters in the Green Room at the Beverly Hilton.

"I could never stop acting. You'd have to drag me behind, like, a team of horses," the Silence of the Lambs star insisted. "No, I'm not retiring from acting. And, you know, I'd like to be directing tomorrow . . . I'm actually more into it than I have ever been." Foster, who has been acting since she was a toddler, explained that the point of her speech was "that people change. Change is important. And, you know, hopefully I'll be doing different things than I did when I was three years old and six years old and ten years old and 20 years old . . . My work is evolving."

As for the more personal aspects of the address, in which Foster mentioned her former female partner and explained she "came out a million years ago" in private? "The speech kind of speaks for itself. It's a big, long career, and it's not just a career; it's friendships and relationships . . . I feel like I am graduating from something . . . And it's a big moment, and I wanted to say, you know, what's most in my heart."

Foster, mom to sons Charlie and Kit, added that she wasn't worried about regretting her frank disclosure the morning after. "It's an expression of who I am and what I'm thinking and feeling." The Accused actress also raised a few eyebrows (as she has in the past) when she acknowledged her close friend, the ever-controversial, volatile Mel Gibson, in her speech. (Gibson, 57, looked on tearfully in the audience.)

"I know Mel Gibson extremely well, and he's somebody that I love and that I have worked with and that I respect, and it's not difficult to say that. You know, it's very easy to say that. My — the man that I know is a true and loyal friend, and considerate, loving," she said of Gibson. Over the summer, Foster also spoke up for her former Panic Room costar Kristen Stewart at the height of her cheating scandal. "I think it's important that when people are struggling, that you not run away from them if you love them. Kristen, I mean, I look at the room tonight, you know, Kristen Stewart and Claire Danes, Jennifer Lawrence, all these young women that I worked with who basically were child actors like I was a child actor, and then I feel very protective of them, because even though I think I have managed to get through the process relatively sanely, I had my scars, and I hope to be in some ways a member of their family that's out there protecting them."

Foster's biggest shock of all: That she's still working in Hollywood. "You know, from the time I was little, my mom prepared me for the fact that my career would be over by the time I was 18 . . . I am very surprised that I ended up doing the same job that I did from the time I was three!"

Adele on Motherhood: "I Have Eczema From Boiling Bottles"

Mommy's first night out was a smashing success for Adele! Attending the Golden Globes in Beverly Hills on Sunday Jan. 13, the British singer, 24 -- at her first event since the birth of her son in October -- was resplendent in a Burberry dress, Miu Miu heels and jewelry by Cartier and Van Cleef and Arpels. As widely suspected, the "Skyfall" chanteuse and songwriter ended up being victorious in the Best Song category, and acknowledged her "lovely son" during her ebullient acceptance speech.

Chatting with reporters backstage in the press room, the chart-topping star opened up (even if just for a moment) about how motherhood has changed her. "I have eczema from boiling bottles!" she admitted of caring for her little boy with boyfriend Simon Konecki. One thing Adele is keeping private? Her firstborn's name. "I am not sharing his name at the moment. It is very personal to me."

She was willing to confess, however, that motherhood bliss may mean a much happier followup to 21 -- the worldwide smash record beloved for its songs of romantic anguish. "I feel a little bit kind of overexcited," she told reporters. "It's my first night out since I had my child and my inspiration normally comes from heart break, but I don't think I am going to?have be devastated again."

And recording a theme song for one of the most iconic, and longest-running, film franchises ever was both daunting and an appropriate followup to 2011, in which she became a global superstar. "I had a huge weird strange bizarre year with my album 21 that just shot me to beyond fame, it was ridiculous and I was pregnant!" she explained. "I had my child about two weeks before the film came out. So it was bad timing," she joked.

There were a few head-scratchers, for sure. Halle Berry in a diaphanous, patterned, one-shouldered number with a thigh-revealing slit, Lucy Liu in a big floral ballgown, and Rachel Weisz in a black dress with polkadot see-through skirt were a few of the actresses whose getups gave us pause. But the bulk of the looks were red carpet-worthy and just stunning. The hard part: Whittling down the list to just 15.

Among the standouts? Golden Globe winners Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables) and Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook), and Jennifer Garner, whose husband Ben Affleck (Argo) won for Best Director. Tell Us: Did your favorite gowns make the list?

Golden Globes 2013's Most Awkward Moments: Salma Hayek Flubs, Taylor Swift Mocked and More!

No night is complete without a few party fouls, and Hollywood's "party of the year" was no exception. This year's Golden Globes in Beverly Hills played host to a number of memorable speeches, jaw-dropping gowns, and -- most importantly -- a good dose of awkwardness.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler kicked off the night with a few strategic zingers at everyone from James Franco to James Cameron, but the Saturday Night Live pals really just got the ball rolling. The remainder of the star-studded evening unfolded with its own generous amount of gaffes, laughs and brow-furrowing moments.

Recap the most awkward moments from the 2013 Golden Globes below.

1. Taylor Swift gets dissed: About halfway through the show, Fey and Poehler took a moment to warn their Hollywood colleagues to keep Glenn Close away from the alcohol -- and country darling Swift away from Michael J. Fox's son Sam, Mr. Golden Globes for the evening.

"You know what, Taylor Swift? Stay away from Michael J. Fox's son!" Fey joked as the audience tittered nervously. Swift, 23, recently made headlines after parting ways with British beau Harry Styles. The singer smiled demurely.

Fey tried to save the situation. "She needs some me time to learn about herself," she explained.

2. Jodie Foster references Honey Boo Boo in her coming out speech: After teasing the audience by joking about being single, Foster made a snide comment about the state of celebrity today, referencing one of pop culture's most recent stars: Honey Boo Boo.

"I did my coming out a thousand years ago back in the stone age, in those quaint days when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends and family," she began. "Now I'm told every celebrity is expected [to share] the details of their private life with a reality show. But I'm not Honey Boo Boo!"

3. Paul Rudd and Salma Hayek's teleprompter issues: So that's what happens when they go off-script! Rudd and Hayek were the unfortunate victims of technological difficulties Sunday night when their teleprompter reportedly stopped working just as they were about to present the award for Best TV Drama. A few awkward moments passed before Rudd tried to fill the silence.

"Hello," the This Is 40 star attempted. "How's everybody doing? Good? All right, great." Hayek tried to pick up the pieces with, "Okay, something about the best, uh…" before the nominees' clips began to roll on-screen, complete with pre-recorded voiceover.

Rudd was able to interject a quick "and the winner is…" before handing the prize over to Homeland.

4. HFPA president hits on Bradley Cooper: Nothing says you've made it in Hollywood quite like getting a wink and a smile from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association president. During her address to the audience Sunday night, Dr. Aida Takla-O'Reilly tried to turn the usually dry portion of the ceremony into an entertaining jab at pop culture.

Takla-O'Reilly concluded her speech with "three words to Bradley Cooper": "Call Me Maybe." A startled Cooper tried to maintain his composure after being called out by the kindly president.

5. Aziz Ansari jokes about weed: It's natural to be nervous presenting an award at the Golden Globes, but Ansari took his duties a bit too seriously with his Downton Abbey gag. The Parks and Recreation actor presented an award with Arrested Development's Jason Bateman and pretended to be high the entire time.

"The cast of Downton Abbey has some great week backstage!" he declared as the crowd laughed nervously. "Michelle Dockery, I hope you have some more of those tasty cookies -- or biscuits, as you call them."

Bateman pretended to bat Ansari away as they announced the nominees, but the joke left the audience more dazed and confused than laughing uproariously.

6. Sacha Baron Cohen makes off-color joke about Anne Hathaway: The king of crude comments made his way on-stage to present the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film Sunday, but not before using the platform to get in a few jabs about the cast of Les Miserables.

"Russell Crowe had four months of singing lessons, that was money well spent," he quipped after joking about Hugh "Jackson" and Helena Bonham Carter. But he saved his biggest zing for Hathaway as he closed out his routine.

"Enough of me pulling back the curtains of Hollywood -- and I'm not referring to Anne Hathaway's up-skirt shot," he chuckled. Hathaway responded with a few giggles and a tight smile in the audience.
