Oscar Nominees 2011 – FULL LIST

January 25, 2011 By 1 Comment

The 2011 Academy Awards and the nominees were announced in the wee hours of the morning. I am guessing Lindsay Lohan wasn’t waiting eagerly by the phone.

James Franco and Anne Hathaway are hosting the 2011 Oscars and nabbed the honor of being two of the youngest to host the Academy Awards. ‘The Kings Speech’ had the most nominations with 12 chances to take home an Oscar. “True Grit” received 10 nods. When it comes to Best Picture there are a whopping 10 films that will battle it out for the award. It seems ridiculous but ‘Black Swan,’ ‘The Fighter,’ ‘Inception’ – my pick for the win, ‘The Kids Are All Right,’ ‘The King’s Speech,’ ‘127 Hours,’ ‘The Social Network,’ ‘Toy Story 3,’ ‘True Grit’ and ‘Winter’s Bone’ are all contenders.

George Clooney Drunk at the Oscars – Video

March 8, 2010 By 5 Comments

Was it just me, or did George Clooney seem a little off at last night’s Oscar ceremony?

george-clooney-oscars

The usually accommodating Clooney breezed by many reporters on the red carpet and, though funny, seemed to glare throughout the telecast.

However, his off attitude with reporters was not the case with the ladies. After swooping in and kissing several women (including snatching a kiss on Queen Latifiah’s arm), Clooney revealed his secret.

[Video Via Popsugar]

Via E!:

“To show you why I mean it,” Clooney offered the perfectly delighted gal he’d just kiss-kissed, the Oscar-winning dude opened his tux jacket.

And there, gleaming and looking awfully deliciously discreet, was a silver flask.

Although funny, this really isn’t the first time someone had to hit the sauce to lip-lock with some of Hollywood’s biggest players. Seriously, can you imagine having to plant one on Harvey Weinstein?

Megan Fox NOT Cast as Catwoman

August 27, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Professor Whore Whore Face (thanks Michael K) will not be squeezing into pleather and prancing around in a dance of the feline for Batman.

megan-fox-not-catwoman.jpg

Rumors running amok yesterday stated that Megan Fox would be the next in line to play Catwoman. The Sun apparently jumped the gun on the announcement as Warner Brothers called them out and said it was all false.

“It’s rumor. It’s not true,” said a studio rep. “There is no script. There is no project to be cast in.”

Rumors of a third “Batman” film have been stewing since the wrap of “The Dark Knight.” Christopher Nolan’s second adaptation grossed over $1 billion in sales on the eve of the Oscars. So it’s no surprise that a third installment. Casting rumors have been floating around for awhile. Johnny Depp was said to be signed on as The Riddler, Philip Seymour Hoffman was set to be the Penguin and (my theory) Maggie Gyllenhaal would reprise in the saga as a reincarnated Catwoman. Gary Oldman, who plays the commissioner for Gotham, hinted at a “Dark Knight” sequel Comic-Con this year stating:

“I think the next ‘Batman’ is next year. We start shooting next year,” he said. Of course, he did go on to add, “You didn’t hear that from me.”

Typically Batman films bore me horizontal. However, these most recent attempts at the superhero films I really enjoyed. (Sans Christian Bale’s odd lisp he develops when speaking as Batman. Am I the only one that bothers?)

Natalie Portman Continues Home Wrecking

April 13, 2009 By 4 Comments

Natalie Portman’s no-no is continuing it’s reign of terror. She was originally rumored to be wooing “Twilight” heartthrob Robert Pattinson. Then Portman and Sean Penn were reportedly making out at Sunset Tower Hotel’s Tower Bar. Sean is still married to Robin Wright Penn, but that apparently didn’t stop the two from swapping saliva after their business meeting with Dustin Lance Black. This was all followed by a rumor that she and Ryan Gosling were hooking up after meeting at Bardot in LA.

Now Natalie has got her eyes on Brad Pitt. She personally asked him to play her love interest in a new film. Angelina Jolie lost her shiz and started in with the oratorical fireworks

Via Backseat Cuddler Per Female First:

“Angelina had a massive fit and was shouting her head off. She accused Brad of flirting with Natalie. Angelina can’t help but feel threatened. Brad knows how jealous she gets but won’t stop saying how gorgeous and intelligent Natalie is. He keeps saying she is ‘cute as a button.’ “

Gee…what’s Jolie afraid of? Pitt would leave her for his leading lady? History does have a habit of repeating itself.

“Angelina worries about karma. It’s eating her up and we’re sure the cause of a lot of the rows is her not quite trusting Brad.”

Really Brad, “cute as a button” and “gorgeous” are stupid words to use to describe someone you might be having pretend sex with in the near future in front of your lady. When Angie asks what you think of another woman you always, always say: “Baby, she might as well have a 3rd eye and limp because she doesn’t hold a candle to you.”

Ginnifer Goodwin and Justin Long are a Couple!

March 10, 2009 By 1 Comment

Thank you to “He’s Just Not That Into You” for making this 8-year friendship blossom into something more. Star Magazine reports that Ginnifer Goodwin and Justin Long were seen doing some very couply things at an Oscar after-party a week ago:

At Vanity Fair’s post-Oscars party, Ginnifer and Justin “were very close. She was stroking his arm, he was kissing her cheek, and they held hands all evening,” a source tells Star. “They were trying to be cool, but it was obvious they’re a couple. They even left together.”

It has been rumoured that Ginnifer has had a crush on Justin for some time, even though in interviews they have both stated that their relationship is more ‘familial’ than romantic. I guess everything can change!

Ginnifer was last linked with actor Chris Klein, a relationship which ended just this past December. I am thinking that is kind of fitting, since her and Justin have hooked up between then and now. How much you want to bet that Justin finally showed interest and Ginnifer was more than willing to toss Chris aside for him? This is all heresay, but it’s FUN!

Justin was last linked with his other “HJNTIY” co-star Drew Barrymore, and is still friends with her–which is always a good sign. I am not friends with any of my exes, I can tell you that much!

So what does everyone think of this new couple? I think it’s cute, especially because I like Justin Long.

Sarah Jessica Parker – Boob Job or Wonder Bra?

March 10, 2009 By 13 Comments

Actress Sarah Jessica Parker has been always rumored about having a nose job, something that she had always denied, but more recently she has been also rumored to have had a boob job. The 43 year old star, who says she refuses to obsess about getting older and is happy with how she looks, says she isn’t interested in having any cosmetic surgery.

Per PerezRevenge:

“It’s a real crucible because you feel daunted by your peers who somehow get younger and younger. People older than me have fewer lines than I do. And no, you’re not supposed to talk about it – you’re supposed to admire the fact that they look 22 even though they’re 58.” Says Parker.

The rumors of a supposed boob job are based on pictures taken of the actress at the 2009 “Oscars” where Parker did seem a little more full in that area. But judging by the pictures themselves, I’d be less inclined to believe the surgery actually took place and more inclined to believe its just the results of a really good push up bra. They don’t call them the “Wonder Bra” for nothing!

Kristen Stewart Disses “Twilight” and Its Fans

February 24, 2009 By 9 Comments

“Twilight” actress and weed-lover Kristen Stewart was notably absent from this past Sunday’s Oscar ceremony. Buzz surrounding the possibility that Stewart would present with her co-star and my love slave, Robert Pattinson fizzled once Sparklepants showed up on the red carpet flying solo (Sorry honey, the Dame wouldn’t let me off work to join you!).

However, for some odd reason Stewart’s father, television producer John Stewart was at the ceremony and stopped for a few red-carpet interviews of his own. When asked by Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush as to why his daughter declined presenting at the ceremony, Stewart replied that KStew will present at the Oscars under certain conditions:

“When it’s a great movie, not just one that makes a lot of money.”

Ouch! Apparently, good old dad wasn’t as fond of the teen-vampire romance as the rest of us. I don’t think KStew’s feelings are too hurt as she seems to share his view on the film. I am led to believe she had to decline presenting because there wasn’t enough for her to find a designer willing to make her a dress out of hemp.

In an interview with this month’s Nylon Magazine, Stewart gave her two cents about “Twilight” Mania and the fans that have made the franchise so popular:

“Anywhere we’d go for ‘Twilight’ was a psychotic situation. The sound was deafening, and it’s thoughtless, as well… You get a slew of all these bulls**** questions like, ‘What’s it like to kiss a vampire?’ and ‘How much do you love Robert?’ Then you’ll get one that’s actually real, but you’re like, ‘No, I can’t right now, I can’t even consider [it].”

Unfortunately for Kristen, she is contractually obligated to continue making the “Twilight” saga. Hey, at least it’s a lot of money for weed and munchies, right?

The Best and Worst Oscar Moments

February 23, 2009 By 5 Comments

While I am pretty much a nobody, I couldn’t help but give my two cents on last night’s Oscar ceremony. Here is my opinion of the best and worst Oscar highlights:

The Worst:

-The Fashion: While I am not an expert when it comes to fashion like the Dame, I have to say that Beyonce looked like a Tranny Mess on the red carpet. Her looked was usurped only by Mickey Rourke, who I swear is Pat, the lesbian that lives down the street from me. Jessica Biel looked like she was waiting for lobster to be served; she came complete with her own bib.

- The Pre-Show Bru-ha-ha: I couldn’t bear to spend more than 30 seconds looking at Lisa Rinna on the red carpet, so I was stuck dealing with pretty Ryan Seacrest and What’s-Her-Face over on E! Ryan naturally dazzled with the most awkward line of questions, but no moment was as stellar as Seacrest speaking with the kids from “Slumdog Millionaire”…who didn’t speak English…at all. Ryan’s answer to this: ask the same question again, REALLY LOUD, then smile and ask some more questions after you’ve been told they don’t speak English. This ranks up there with Seacrest trying to high five blind guys on “American Idol.”

- Mickey Rourke loses best actor award to Sean Penn: In all honesty, I didn’t see either of their performances. However, I had $20 on the amount of F bombs Rourke would drop in his acceptance speech. Since he lost, I am out the $20 and saddened that I will never know the answer.

-Tilda Swinton eyebrowlessness: Good gracious! When the ladies presenting the Best Supporting Actress Oscar came out, I nearly had a stroke. The camera hit Swinton and I thought an emaciated Gwyneth Paltrow had come to take my soul! For a moment, I thought she was dead and they were just propping her up there “Weekend At Bernie’s” style. Honestly, where did your eyebrows go? Find them before next year or don’t come back!

- Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens sing with Hugh Jackman, Beyonce, and two people who were in “Mama Mia,” I guess: Their revival of “The Musical” only made me want to burn my copy of Grease, pour acid in my ears, and sell my soul in order for it to end. Honestly, there wasn’t enough wine in Napa for me to make it through that montage. Thankfully, the child-proof cap prevented me from getting the pills open before it ended. Hugh, you owe me eight minutes of my life back.

The Best:

-Sank You: Only a few awards into the evening, a little man who barely spoke English won an Oscar. I feel like a complete tool because I can’t remember his name or the award. All I remember was his smile and his repeating “Sank you!” over and over. It was nice.

-Angelina gives Jen a smile: There was no couple on the red carpet more awkward than Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer. In fact, Seth Rogan had better chemistry with Judd Apatow who was there with his wife. During the award for best animated film, the camera cut to Angie just in time for us to see her throw a smile in Jennifer Aniston’s direction. My conclusion-she was smiling at her Kung-Fu Panda co-star, Jack Black while asking herself, “Why the hell is she wearing a braid in her hair?” about Aniston.

- Robert Pattinson on the red carpet, presenting, and starring in my dirty dream that night: I am sorry. I know he’s barely been in anything, he’s dirty, yadda, yadda, yadda. Say what you will, the Oscar producers knew what they were doing by asking him to attend. I can name eight people who watched the show just to see him in a tux and clean (and I am not counting the voices in my head). I didn’t see anyone else from “Twilight” there. You want to know why? Because he is hot. Thank you.

- Ben Stiller does Joaquin Phoenix: Stiller has these moments of bloody brilliance and this was one of them. Occasionally he will do something that appears no one else gets. Many of the celebrities at the Oscars last night didn’t seem to get his joke either out of “respect” for Phoenix or because they are too lame to watch Letterman or read the Dame. I got it. And it was funny. Well played Mr. Stiller, well played. It was the only moment of the night that made me laugh hard enough to nearly spill the wine…nearly.

Robert Pattinson Confirmed Presenter for The Oscars

February 17, 2009 By 5 Comments

Need a reason to watch the 2009 Oscars this coming Sunday night, or at the very least DVR it? How about Robert Pattinson as your reason? It’s been widely rumored for days that the sexy “Twilight” vampire will show up for Hollywood’s most star-filled evening, and now it is being confirmed by Hit Fix that the star will indeed be there. No word yet on which award Sparklepants will be presenting, but do we honestly even care – Its Robert-Freakin-Pattinson! Cue the ear-piercing screams!!!

Pattinson shot to stardom after playing the young man of millions teenage and older womens dreams, vampire Edward Cullen in “Twilight.” The first of three sequels, “New Moon,” is scheduled to begin filming next month, which a tentative release date of November 2009.

Securing the “Twilight” star is huge. Talk about a ratings stunt! No word yet on if his co-star Kristen Stewart will also be apart of the festivities. Wild speculation now is focused on who Pattinson’s date for the night will be. I’m betting he arrives solo, although I’m sure finding a date wouldn’t be too much of a struggle for him.
