And the Oscar goes to...

Oscar nominations were announced this morning. Here I go...Brokeback Mountain walks away with eight nominations and finally Jake Gyllenhaal was nominate for Best Supporting Actor and the newlyweds Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams were both nominated. I think Brokeback Mountain is going to win for Best Picture or at least I really hope it does, I think all around it had the best collaborative performance and direction. I was surprised that Woody Allen wasn't nominated for Best Director for Match Point but he was nominated for screenplay so I'm happy about that because it really was a good movie. I think Best Actor will go to either Philip Seymour Hoffman for Capote or Heath Ledger. Joaquin Phoenix was unbelievable as Johnny Cash but his performance wasn't the same. The two big contenders for Best Actress are Felicity Huffman and Reese Witherspoon. I think this is a really tough category. Both actresses won Golden Globes for their performances but since the categories were more seperated they're both on equal playing fields. Rachel Weisz is looking really good for Constant Gardner but I must say that I'm extremely happy that Amy Adams was nominated for Junebug, her performance was great and a real career starter. Ang Lee is I believe most likely to walk away with the Best Director but after seeing Munich last night I think that Steven Spielberg should also win it. For Best Screenplay I'm really at a loss. That's all I have today, lots of predictions. Check back soon!

Teri Hatcher, take a chill pill

So as seen in the above picture Teri Hatcher is a little crazy....and Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy don't really look amused. I think Teri Hatcher expects to win something now that she won one Golden Globe over a year ago and she can't stand the fact that she isn't getting any attention while her costar has a Golden Globe and a SAG award for her role in Transamerica. As seen from Desperate Houswives acceptance speech at the Golden Globes Teri felt a little to compelled to grab the microphone and start blabbing while the other ladies just rolled their eyes and willed her to shut up. So as I said in my title, Teri take a chill pill. You're not the only houswife who deserves an award. Believe it or not there are more talented actresses that Lois Lane.
I saw Munich tonight and was greeted with a preview of MI-3. Tom Cruise also needs to calm himself and prepare himself for bad reviews because I'm sorry but the movie looks really bad. I would like to think that it would be good because J.J Abrams is one of my favorites and even though he dissapointed me with Alias so far I still think he is a great talent but Tom Cruise is going to be the death of the movie. Not to mention the fact that he was just nominated for three Razzie awards including worst actor for War of the Worlds and "tiresome tabloid target" which I concur with. Tom needs to go jump on couches elsewhere because I am sick of him. Meg Ryan adopted a Chinese baby last week. Why one might ask? That is the question on my mind especially since her movie The Doors starring Val Kilmer will be released soon and she will have to do a lot of press. No time for the baby hmm, that's never happened with a Hollywood actress before. Finally I just want to refer to my first post where I said that I thought Commander in Chief would be canceled shortly after it aired. I realized that I was wrong after the ratings were so high but still something about the show made me uneasy and I still knew deep down that it was crap and therefore should be canceled. Well it turns out ABC might be thinking along those same lines since the show has been shelved until spring. The ratings have declined and therefore ABC wants to make room for a newer show. We'll see it ever returns. So I will leave you for know to think about all the times that you thought I might not know what I was talking about because who knows, I probably did.

Here you go Nyn8v...

Nyn8v stated that my last post was "B-O-R-I-N-G!" so I'm going to write about Chris Penn or attempt to. Chris Penn was found dead in his home at the age of 40. Now immediately I turned to drugs as the culprit of his death because 40 is a young age to die for no reason whatsoever. After an autopsy yesterday it appears to be natural causes but drug test will be administered. My dad said that he probably just died because he was unhealthy and fat but I don't know, I think there might be something suspicious going on. Speaking of drugs Kate Moss is working with Virgin publishers to pen a book about her drug escapades. I think that is probably one of the worst ideas ever, how much could she have to say? It's almost as good an idea as when Paris Hilton wrote her book which gave us wonderful insight into her life, "I like pink and blue and purple and yellow but not together, red and black are always ugly." Thank you Paris. You'd think after just getting out of rehab, Kate would be playing it safe but instead she's going out drinking in bars and pole dancing with Lindsay Lohan. Good role model Kate, Lila should be proud.
Rob Estes and Josie Bissett have called it quits after 13 years of marriage. Rob was quoted in people saying that Josie has"decided to move on to greener pastures." He doesn't sound bitter at all...Well that's all the news I have for now. I hope that was to your liking NYN8V. Check back soon!

CW?

People claims that the two snow bunnys below are Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake, hmmmm....





Ok, so yesterday I wrote a riveting piece on the merging of two networks but instead of publishing it deleted so I'm trying this one more time. Yesterday it was announced that UPN and the WB would be obsolete by fall 2006 and form a new network by the name of CW. Both networks currently operate under CBS so the C comes from CBS and the W comes from WB. Both networks have been struggling for a long time so hopefully the combination will make the new network more successful. The new network will take shows from the current network lineups, two shows that definetly will make the cut are Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars. Since UPN is typically known as a "black" network Veronica Mars seems to have not really fit in with that mold. It has defied the UPN stereotypes and although it doesn't have the best rating is actually a clever, very well written show and I'm not just saying that because I intern there. Hopefully this new network will breath life into the show and bring up the ratings. Veronica is currently on Wednesdays at 9 on UPN so everyone should tune in. Check back soon!

I'm sorry Zahara and Maddox and the presidency is dead

On Thursday Maddox and Zahara officially became Jolie-Pitt. The superstars are officially a family now especially with the pending arrivial of their first child together. It has been discovered that Angelina was pregnant before Brad's divorce with Jennifer was official which makes Brad an even bigger asshole than I thought. Now when I see pictures of him or think of him in movies I know longer think of him as hot and Angelina she's just crazy. Jon Voight was right to ask his daughter to seek help, she needs it.

The West Wing was canceled today. NBC decided to axe the show after the ratings have been particularly low this season. With the recent death of John Spencer it would be hard to recover the missing story lines that this character would provide. Also with Martin Sheen's term ending, the idea of the show going on with a new president would be hard and most likely result in lower ratings. The season wraps in May and there will be an hour long retrospective to say goodbye to a once high rated beloved show. Well, I must say congratulations to Lynn Paolo who is the costumer for West Wing and ER. You've done well!

The five Friends that we've missed so much: Ross, Rachel, Pheobe, Monica, Chandler and Joey have all signed multi-million dollar deals with NBC to star in four one hour episodes of Friends. The deal has been in talks for the last couple of months and has just recently been finalized. I personally think that the era of friends is over and that they shouldn't mess with the show anymore. Let us keep to the re-runs if we feel the need to watch some friends. How many times can we see Ross and Rachel break-up and make-up? Reportedly, Jennifer Aniston was the last of the friends stars to sign onto the deal but she has now been confirmed. Hopefully she can use this as therapy to get over her awful ex-husband. Also NBC is in talks to develop a new Friends spin-off with Ross, Chandler and Joey all together. How this would work if Chandler doesn't get a divorce, Ross doesn't break up with Rachel again and Joey doesn't stop being a dumb-ass then I just don't know how this would be possible. Since Joey hasn't really been canceled yet I guess it's just a matter of time but once again what is NBC thinking, Joey is doing horrible and is on hiatus basically indefinetly so I really don't think another Friends spin-off would work. I honestly think that I should work for a network and tell them what show ideas are crap because they clearly don't seem to know. Thats all the news for today, check back soon!

Jared Leto is chub

Nuff' said

Hollywood Foreign Press sucks and so does Kenny G.

First off clever name Mike Hundt, you should go confer with Dick Hertz about your next ridiculous comment to my blog. Yes, entertainment news might be shallow at times but you seem to care about it just as much as I do to take the time to read my blog, comment on it and give insight into the reasons that you believe Brad and Jen broke up. Nobody really knows why they broke up so I think it's interesting that you think you do, maybe you should do some fact checking. Also you clearly seem to care about Angelina Jolie since you read my blog about her and if you don't care and think that I'm shallow and vapid that don't read my blog because as much as you don't care, thats how much I could really care less about what you have to say in regards to it. Basically Mike Huntz you are an angry asshole who shouldn't be dispensing opinions about things that you know little about, go put on some Kenny G. and drown yourself in a saucer because you're personality is actually shallow enough that you would drown.

Onto the Golden Globes... I watched the red carpet on E! as I always do because as the title of my blog suggests, I will work for E! one day. This year Ryan Seacrest was the master of ceremonies and Isaac Mizrahi and Giuliana Dipandi were on the carpet. Isaac Mizrahi asked the most inappropriate questions such as "where do you keep your condoms?" "What kind of bikini wax do you have, playboy or brazilian?" and my favorite to the newly seperated Hilary Swank, "Hows single life?" to which she curtly responded, "I'm actually not single and I'm trying to work out my marriage" and then she briskly said goodbye and walked away. Giuliana whom I aspire to be asked dumb questions and Ryan Seacrest just babbled. Basically it made me sad to think that E! would do a red carpet like this one. If these people can host the red carpet then there is no doubt in my mind that one day I can do the same thing. The actual award ceremony was dissapointing for certain awards. Geena Davis who is looking ever so manly and quite round in the face beat out the unbelievable Glenn Close who was nominate for her work in The Shield for Best Actress in a drama. I've never seen Commander in Chief but i can imagine that there is no way that show or she can be better than Glenn Close. Paul Newman one for Empire Falls which was expected because he is a screen legend. Thankfully Brokeback Mountain and Walk the Line took away several awards including Best Picture and Best Actor and Actress for Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix. Lost one for Best Drama Series which I don't really think should win anything but kudos to J.J Abrams because he got screwed over with Alias. One of the funniest moments of the ceremony was that all four desperate housewives were nominated for Best Actress in a comedy alongside Mary Louise Parker for Weeds and she walked away with the award even though Desperate Houswives won the award for Best Comedy Series. The Golden Globes are the worst of the award shows because it's usually the filler nominee (the nominee that doesn't really deserve to be nominated but is because they need an extra person) that walks away with the award. Also the groupings are a little unfair but then again at least we have the Oscars and Emmys to look forward to. Check back soon for some more vapid and shallow entertainment news. Seacrest Out!

Oh Angelina!

First let me just say that this is dedicated to Claire Crowley...thanks for reading. If more people read please comment on the blog or let me know so it doesn't seem like my dad is the only one reading it. Now for the real news. The other day when rumors began to circulate that Angelina Jolie was pregnant I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and I said that I didn't think she was pregnant because she seems like such a responsible mom to Maddox and Zahara and it would be very irresponsible to have a baby months after she adopted her year old daughter. Then the news broke that she was pregnant and it just made me mad, I was trying to be nice since I am a fan but she dissapointed me. Brad Pitt has balls by the way to be having a baby with Angelina and adopting her kids months after his divorce from Jennifer Aniston was declare official. I thought he was a nice guy too and I understand that he's "happy" now but it's so inconsiderate to start a family with another woman so soon after his divorce.
On to happier news in my opinion I did some celeb sightings today that I'd like to share. Let's start with Roger Bart, psycho George Williams from Desperate Housewives and from The Producers. He gave me a hey since he could see how excited I was. Then onto Joan's On Third where I spotted Kirsten Dunst. She was quite the chain smoker, about three cigarettes in ten minutes. She was sporting a long hair-do and was looking happy sitting with her friends. Then at Fred Seagal I hit jackpot. I saw Raven Symone in a ugly, way too tight white lace ensemble. I don't know how she could breath or what compelled her to wear something so ugly. What happened to cute little Olivia from the Cosby days? Outside at the Fred Seagal cafe was Pharell lunching with his friends. Usually at Fred Seagal I see Tori Spelling but I moved up a step and saw Marky-Mark or Mark Whalberg as he prefers to be called in his big Bently looking cool and stylish. This is why I love LA! leave me comments to let me know how I'm doing and I will continue to bring news. Thanks!

Movie theater viewers should SHUT UP...and other news!

The other day I went to the movies with my mom to see Woody Allen's new movie Match Point which I strongly recommend. It combined moments that were purely Woody Allen as many of the audience members decided to share at the end of the movie with moments that would classify the movie as a thriller or a romance. It really combined all genres of movies into one. Throughout the movie, the audience which was comprised of mostly elderly people, decided it would be a fun idea to provide running commentary. There was the inappropriate laughter where something wasn't funny or the laughter was too loud to hear what was happening on the screen. There was the man sitting in front of us who decided that it would be fun to shout out words at points in the movie such as "pregnant!", "no!", "Yeah right!," it was quite amusing, actually not since he was loud. Then there was the really old couple who couldn't hear what was happening in the movie so they kept loudly saying, "Huh? What did he say?" Then there was a lady next to me who decided that the middle of the movie would be a fun time to loudly remove a newspaper from her shoe. Basically, people shouldn't talk or make noises in a movie unless it's me because then it's okay, haha.


In other news, Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe have split after eight years of marriage. Many people don't know but Hilary had a role in The Karate Kid and had a recurring role on Beverly Hills 90210 as a single mom. Chad Lowe has recently appeared in ER and Medium. The couple are only seperated and "remain hopeful" in this hard time. I personally always thought that Chad Lowe was kind of geeky especially compared to Hilary Swank who is such a beautiful, accomplished actress but hopefully the will both work everything out in this hard time. I spotted Jenny Jones today at the Century City Mall where I was having lunch with my dad. Whatever happened to all the talk show hosts? Just a reminder that Lindsay Lohan's issue of Vanity Fair hits newstands Tuesday so everyone, or daddy go by an issue. Let's hope more celebrities break up, make up and use drugs.

Drugs and Eating Disorders...Yes!

Ok so my internet has been down for two days, two of the most jam-packed entertainment days in a while. First off Happy New Years!...really Happy New Years to my parents since they're the only ones that read this but if you do read this and are not my mom or my dad pleased leave me a comment and let me know how I'm doing. In February's issue of Vanity Fair that comes out on stands, January 10th Lindsay Lohan admits to bulimia and drug use. Duh!!! One day she was a normal size and then the next week she was bone thin. The kind of thin that can't happen from just dieting, it had to be coke. I say we're a week at the most maybe two from Nicole Richie's drug and bulimia confession. I mean c'mon now, she can't hide now that her friend has admitted to it. As sick as it is, it gives me a sick pleasure to know that they were doing drugs the whole time. Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen are back off. The divorce is going through her reps confirmed. Ok so the biggest news was the Lindsay Lohan thing but since I've been so internet deprived I'm going to try and put up another post tommorow.
