Every princess begins her journey with a dream. As a tribute to aspiring princesses who dare to dream, Disney and renowned designer Kirstie Kelly has been selected to participate in the official Distinctive Assets “EVERYONE WINS AT THE OSCARS!” gift bag for the 80th Annual  OSCARS® Awards to be held on Feb.24, 2008 at The Kodak Theater in Los Angeles and is scheduled to be broadcast live on the ABC Television network!

Nominated stars will walk away with a dazzling platinum finished chandelier filigree earring that is dripping with Swarovski crystals and freshwater pearls!  In addition they will receive the coveted Sticks n’ Stones bracelet, a platinum finish woodsy inspired cuff that is perfectly stoned with the most sparkling Swarovski crystals!  Retail value of approximately $595.00.

But you know what's even better than Kristie Kelly Disney jewelery? This weaponized, diamond engagement ring by subversive artist Toby Wong.

How GREAT would it be to be proposed to with one of these babies. Any boy who does this! Is! A Keeper! That diamond edge can CUT YOU down to the bone! Sadly, this will not be included in the Oscar grab-bag spectacular. It's a shame, really. That's totally a Tiffany design!

Some dude from marketing just handed us five pairs of tickets to see CLOVERFIELD on Thursday night (technically Friday morning) at Midnight, at the Regal Fenway 13. Details below on how to get yours.

We know Lost supergeeks, New York haters, and disaster-film afficionados (and doesn't that cover everyone?) have been gurgling over this thing for a minute. Competing studios are yanking their films out of its path like . . . well, like movie moms yanking their three-year-olds out of the way of a large, terribly destructive, whale-like force storming up Fifth Avenue.

About 99.99999-percent of this, though, is the old Hollywood game of "hide the monster," which we're both astonished and delighted to find, alive and well, in the 21st century. Here's one of our all-time favorite hide-the-monster flicks:

Point being, the shock value of hide-the-monster movies starts plummeting the moment after the first person walks out of the theater and starts text-messaging his friends what the monster looks like -- or snapping camera-phone flicks in the theater and photo-blogging them from their seats, which of course we really don't endorse but if you want to send us some, then whatevs, y'know -- so wouldn't you rather BE part of that first audience? The only audience to truly not have any clue what the monster looks like?

Of course you would.

Here's the deal: take a picture of yourself holding up a current edition of the Phoenix -- email it to onthedownload@phx.com. The first five emails we receive will get a pass (good for two people) to see CLOVERFIELD tomorrow night at midnight. You MUST be able to pick up the passes in person at the Phoenix offices (126 Brookline Ave, halfway between Fenway Park and the Fenway 13 Theater) no later than tomorrow at 5 pm. After that we feed them to the interns.

We've got three pairs of tickets to give away to the My Brightest Diamond Show at the Museum of Fine Arts on November 18 at 7:30 pm. Tickets go to the first three people who leave comments here on this post. You gotta be willing to swing by Phoenix HQ (near Fenway park), by Friday, November 16 at 4 pm to claim them.

We’ve got 4 pairs of tickets to give away to see the Sea & Cake on Sunday night at the Museum of Fine Arts. They’ll go to the first four people who post a comment on this post saying they’re interested. Hitch: you gotta be willing to swing by Phoenix headquarters (near Fenway) by 6 pm this evening to pick ‘em up.
