Rumor Report

Watched the Oscars last night with some enjoyment- it’s not quite the spectacle the Grammy’s are, but it’s definitely worth watching.

The first thing that popped out at me was Ben Stiller’s Avatar costume- one word and one word only- ridiculous. I have to agree with him- he said it seemed like a better idea in rehearsal- good idea, keep the “role play” costumes in the bedroom where they belong. I do have to admit that his Na'vi language-speaking ability was pleasantly surprising to my ears, and I am confident that any young nubile Na'vis  in the audience would have been pleased to hear him.

Academy Awards"The Hurt Locker" has been hurt by its co-producer campaigning for the Oscar. Campaigning for an Oscar? Who would have thought it? Everybody!

Well, 'The Hurt Locker' co-producer Nicolas Chartier will be banned from the Academy Awards ceremony on March 7  for campaigning in a manner that is unbecoming for an Oscar campaigner. Well, what did he do? He wrote an email urging his friends to urge Academy Awards members to choose his movie, over the popular favorite, by the masses and the peons, that flick Avatar, for Best Picture. Read more

Keeping up with the gossip is always hard, sometimes informative, and not all that useful in the scheme of things. Today, however, I learned something about Robert Pattinson that absolutely changed the way I look at the world and I think it will revolutionize your life, too.

Robert PattinsonAccording to the NYmag, whose job it is to stay on top of these things, Robert Pattinson, made famous for his “stunning performance” in the Twilight saga movies, has now worn hair gel, maybe even for the first time. The implications for this are mind-blowing if you consider how he will influence young men who want to be vampires- their choices in hair products will totally change the way they look. Not only that, his young female fans will have something to talk about.

The Judge

Simon Cowell is not the only foul-mouthed judge to have graced the airwaves.

I’m a little excited about this story from the UK.

Judge Jason Gardiner is not a real Justice of the Peace, but a judge on the British TV show Dancing on Ice. He was just investigated for his comparison between fecal matter and the dancing of a particular contestant on the show after his network received 443 complaints.

What exactly did he say? Read more

Vancouver OlympicsNot surprisingly, I do have a few things to say about the Olympics; the first of which is that NBCs coverage seriously blows and I'm not the only person who thinks so. Not only are there too many stupid interviews and commercials, I already know the results by the time I get to watch anything, even though I am in driving distance from the Games themselves. Thanks, NBC.

Levi Johnston
If you are into white-trashish beefcake pseudo-celebrities who like hockey, but who also can look good in a suit,  Levi Johnston is probably your man. Of late, he has come into the spotlight for the custody battle over his son Tripp, and now for his Playgirl magazine spread, which should have men and women drooling all over the pages when it’s released soon on February 23rd of this year.

Howard Stern on American Idol?I live on the west coast, so am pretty much unaware about the reliability of the NY Post’s gossip page, but if this rumor is true, it could revolutionize reality TV as we now know it.

Howard Stern might replace Simon Cowell as American Idol’s bad-ass judge. There is no word on whether or not he will have a side-kick with him on the show or if women will be forced to undress- this should be no problem as during the last season of American Idol, I saw one contestant strip down to a matching bra and panty set and another to a bikini.

Heidi Montag’s mom is my hero. She told her shallow, vacant daughter the blatant truth, what anyone who  has laid eyes on this crazy girl can see: she’s vain, insecure and talentless.

"She was saying how sad it is that my confidence is gone because of the music industry I'm trying to get into." – Heidi Montag, said about her mother.

Heidi Montag: prettier on the oustside, uglier on the inside.

Her poor mother must feel like a mother bird who’s chick has been handled. Heidi would be lucky if her mother didn’t roll her out of the nest for this idiot move. The best thing about this is how Heidi tanked a face and body that was naturally more spectacular than 98 percent of the population. Read more

Ex-Governor Rod BlagojevichIn case you are keeping tabs, you can add Rod Blagojevich (who is not blacker than Obama) to the increasingly long list of names of people that I would willingly puke on if given the chance to do so, particularly at a public event. For a re-cap of Rod Blogovich’s high crimes and misdemeanors, check out his Wikipedia page, which looks more like a rap-sheet than the bio of a former Governor of one of our larger states.
