You didn’t think I would really let the Oscars rest without announcing the worst dressed did you? Well, I’m not. I did want to watch the Fashion police before I made my final decision to see if we agree but unfortunately we do not. Don’t get me wrong, their worst dressed is on my list as well (Ahm.. Charlize Theron) but I don’t think that she was the worst of the worst. So let’s get down to business and start going down the line:
Sarah Jessica Parker, I’m sorry honey but you look like a tampon. And not just a regular tampon, one of those silky gentle glide ones. Diane Kruger totally missed the target this time, and by target I mean chicken coup. Vera Farmiga, you may have starred aside one of Hollywood’s leading men, but didn’t stop you from wrapping a giant fuchsia table cloth around you did it. Oh Zoe Saldana in Givenchy couture, you make me so sad. I really really like you but you look like giant purple piniata full of sparkles and rainbows. Maggie Gyllenhaal is getting ready to eat some sushi and Charlize Theron got two cinnabuns on her boobies (Thanks for that Joan).
Here’s another thing I wanted to mention. Dear celebrities, please make sure you call each other and verify what everyone’s wearing before you show up looking like this… Thank you.
I really really like Amanda Seyfried (Mostly due to Dear John, thank you for making me cry my eyes out) but both her and Jennifer Lopez (Which by the way was a best dressed nominee on Fashion Police) looked like they were wearing that cellophane stuff, you know the stuff you wrap your valuables in when you move. Oh and Mariah Carey and Gabourey Sidibe. It’s not that they looked bad, it’s just that they didn’t look that great. Granted Gaby looks the best she has ever looked in her porn “money dress” but I could definitely go without Mariah’s ‘Picked it at up at Ross on my way here’ dress. You’re not that skinny any more girl, deal with it.
I know I always write only about what the girls are wearing. What can I say, I am a girl, and when I see pretty dresses my eyes get really wide and I start to drool a little bit. So this time I would like to show you exactly why I never write about the guys.
The picture to the left here, is the reason why. BORING! Some of the hottest stars like Chris Pine, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Lautner, Bradley Cooper and Gerard Butler showed up sporting a black tux with a black bow tie. Common people… you have billion of dollars and you can’t get anymore creative than a black tux and a black bow-tie?
And they weren’t the only ones. Other bow-tie sporting dudes include George Clooney, Matt Damon, Robin Thicke, Jason Bateman and Tom Ford. Yes there might have been some individuals that broke the bow-tie barrier and wore a skinny tie but that just wasn’t enough to revive the lack of color at this year’s Academy Awards.
The only guy that somewhat surprised was Robert Downey Jr. when he showed up with a black tux, a turquoise bow-tie, sneakers and blue see through shades. Good one, but not very appropriate.
Now this is my favorite part of an Award Show! Who wore what, who wore it best and who wore it worst is in some cases more important than who won. The Academy Awards is probably the most important of the award shows and it’s very important to look classy, sassy and fabulous. The theme of the night was definitely all about the sparkle and the flow.
From seasoned actresses like Demi Moore in Atelier Versace, Penelope Cruz in Donna Karan couture, Cameron Diaz in Oscar de la Renta, Elizabeth Banks in Versace and Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab Haute couture, to the younger players on the field like Kristen Stewart in Monique Lhuillier (Finally she looks stunning… I was getting a little worried with her funky little outfits), Miley Cyrus in Jenny Packham and Anna Kendrick in Elie Saab, all looked absolutely phenomenal. But who took the cake? That will be the crowd favorite, Sandra Bullock, who also picked up a little gold man for Best Leading Actress in The Blind Side. Bullock’s beaded Marchesa gown won over the Academy and the Fashion Police in both elegance and and glam.
The Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, is not only known for it’s importance and the life long statement “I’d like to thank the Academy”, but also for it’s funny. And this year, none other than Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin brought the funny. The show started off with our favorite mini doctor, Neil Patrick Harris, singing and dancing his little heart out with two half naked rockettes.
Over the course of the night, the hosts made sure they put their two cents in and I was sitting with the laptop and writing it all down. Here are some of their Gems:
Steve: “There’s Damn Helen Mirren”… Alec: “That’s dame Helen Mirren”
Alec about Woody Harrelson: “He is sooo high!”
“There’s James Cameron” – ‘Both put on 3D glasses’
Steve: “Inglorious bastards’ Christoph Waltz is a Nazi obsessed with finding Jews – Well here is the motherload”
Steve: “The Academy awards… the best night in Hollywood since last night”
Alec: “Hey Feriss… is this your day off???”
What else happened? The star of Precious, Gabourey Sidibe, told Ryan Seacrest “If Fashion was Porn… this dress is the money job!”… The only time that Mr. Smith dramatically inhaled was when they showed the horror movie slide… and George Clooney was clearly pissed off about something all night.
I’ll admit it. I have never actually watched this show before. I am slowly catching up with all the random reality shows that are out there for our viewing pleasure. So why am I watching it this season? Well, while watching The Bachelor’s “After the Final Rose” show with Chris Harrison, the new lineup for Dancing With The Stars was announced, and surprise surprise…our very own ‘no longer bachelor’ Jake Pavelka will be shaking his tiny pilot booty along with the other “stars”.
Now before I go any further, I have to say that I am a little bit upset. Mr. Pavelka is just kind of annoying to me now, yes we get it… you are head over heels in love with a cross eyed idiot with no fashion sense. We get it! Shut up already. The other thing that bothers me, is that he is paired up with one of the most talented and amazing dancers I have ever seen. Chelsie Hightower was one of the semi finalists on the 4th season of So You Think You Can Dance and I love love love her! Plus… look at the picture, unlike every single couple in the gallery below, Jake and Chelsie are not even touching each other… isn’t that weird? Maybe Vienna told him that she’ll cut off his manhood or something. I wouldn’t put it past her. Now lets go to the other 10 contestants shall we:
Aiden Turner – Personally, I have never heard of him until today. And today is a pretty good day. This steaming hot British guy is not just a Soap Opera star ladies, he is a chef, a DJ, a world traveler and now a Dancing With The Stars contestant. Does it get any better than that? Well he is paired up with Polish ballroom dancer Edyta Sliwinska, so lets see if he can add professional dancer to his resume.
Buzz Aldrin – He might have been the second man on the moon but his dance talent is still a mystery. Until today. Buzz is no longer just an astronaut, scientist, inventor and best-selling author. You’d think that he would be enough for him but it’s not. Hey, some people just want to shoot the moon. (:-) I made a funny). Fun Fact #1: In case you were wondering, Toy Story’s Buzz Lightyear, was in fact named after yours truly. Fun Fact #2: The MTV Music Video Award, “The Moonman” was originally called “The Buzzy” and is shaped in his image. Buzz is paired up with self-proclaimed “Utah County Mormon”, Ashly Costa. So shake your groove thang, you 80 year old spaceman, I’m rooting for you.
Chad Ochocinco – That’s an interesting name you say? Well, his real name is actually Chad Johnson, but it was legally changed to Ochocinco (85 in Spanish) because that is his jersey number. How original. Ochocinco is an NFL wide receiver, completing his ninth season with the Cincinnati Bengals. He holds the franchise record for most receiving yards in a season, most receiving yards of all time, the most receptions, the most receiving yards in a game, the most seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards and the most touchdowns in a game. Wow… try saying that in one breath. Paired up with the first two-time DWTS champion Cheryl Burke, he might have a pretty good shot at this dancing thing too.
Erin Andrews – Probably the prettiest sideline reporter ESPN has, Erin has given it to you straight from the network’s NHL coverage, ESPN College Football Saturday telecasts, Saturday Prime-time college basketball games, Big Ten college basketball coverage, ESPN College Football Primetime series on Thursday nights and added Major League Baseball sideline reporting to her responsibilities, including the Monday Night Baseball telecasts. But don’t catalog her as a tomboy… Erin graduated from the University of Florida where she was a member of the Gators’ basketball dance team from 1997-2000. Paired up with Ukrainian Latin Ballroom dance champion, choreographer and instructor Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Let’s see if these two can make some magic together.
I know normally when there is an award show, I pick the movies or actors that I hope will win. But lets face it… That rarely happens. So this time I decided to just pick who I think is going to win. I noticed that with all award shows, you get two or three movies that just win everything. So here you go guys… I really hope I guessed em’ all. Who do you think is going to win? Did I make the right picks?

So somehow, someway, Mrs. Smith was able to grapple her hooks into me and make me watch the last five or six episodes of this season of The Bachelor. Honestly speaking, I’ve always thought of the idea to be extremely stupid. Forcing love on one person by choosing 25 strangers they’ve never met and allowing them to spend a few hours a day with them for a few months is a great way to staff divorce lawyers in my opinion. Be that as it may, I recognize the flash and dash and why the show continues to be successful, Because watching beautiful people live the beautiful life and find true love is what each and every American dreams of. But after watching last night’s finale, I found myself turning away from the television in disgust. Enough is enough.
If you’re a frequent reader of our blog, then you know I have a sweet tooth for the horror movie genre. Not so much for the blood and guts aspect of the crap a lot of directors are putting out today but more for the original ideas and psychological aspect. I can withstand anything a movie throws at me because I know, no matter what, it’s for show. The gore, the body parts, ehh, been there done that. The Bachelor on the other hand is real life for some. You follow the characters, you learn their stories and then you pick someone who you want to “win”.
In last nights finale, there were two women left vying for Jake’s proposal and an unarguable fact was that Tenley is the sweeter of the two. Sadly, you also know that she was married once and had a douche of a husband, so if she’s not selected by Jake, the train most certainly will come off of the tracks. Anyone following The Bachelor, probably knew that Vienna was the choice before it happened and the episode clearly showed that Jake was undoubtedly going that way, but when it came time to get down on one knee, I have to admit, I actually was pulling for Tenley.
Then it happened. All of the reasons I never wanted to watch this inane show in the first place we’re broadcast across the country when Jake delivered the crushing blow to the one woman out of 25 that simply could not take it. What made it worse, was the chatter from Tenley walking up to the podium, knowing that she was the one Jake was going to pick. The horror! I found myself not even being able to watch as a woman who had her heart broken once, simply had it ripped out of her chest this time around. The tears that ran down her face almost brought me, a manly man, to tears. Just awful.
Now I’m not as naive as you may think. I know that by going on a show like this, you leave the possibility open that you fall in love and don’t make it all the way to top dog. I have to imagine, that Tenley’s family begged her not to go on this show because of this very reason. With that said, no one deserves this. Certainly not a girl as nice as Tenley. THEN, if that wasn’t enough, she got to relive the moment over and over again during the recap after-show.
Will Jake and Vienna’s love last? Long shot. Would Jake and Tenley’s love had lasted? Even longer shot. But that’s not the point. The Bachelor is a show with no chance of a happy ending and a 100% chance of a lot of broken hearts. Sure it makes for excellent television but I’ll take the happy endings every day of the week and twice on Sundays. No more Bachelor for me!
There have been many rumors floating around,that Simon Cowell has in fact proposed to his girlfriend Mezhgan Hussainy. These rumors had been somewhat put to rest by Simon Cowell’s publicist Max Clifford two weeks ago, when he said that he spoke to Simon in London and asked him: “Look, are you engaged? Is it true?” and Simon said “No! No. I’m not engaged.” Well it might have been true then, but now I’m not so sure.
In the picture to the right, you can see American Idol producer and judge, Simon Cowell (50), with his recent main squeeze, Afghan-born American Idol make up artist Mezhgan Hussainy (36), at Sony Music offices in Beverly Hills, CA. on February 28th. What’s in the top right corner you ask? Well that would be the huge diamond ring that Hussainy was sporting on that special ring finger.
That huge rock might be a statement all on it’s own… but we would still like an official announcement! Thanks in advance Mr. Cowell.
I can only imagine that after last night’s Bachelor episode, there were women passing out left and right. Don’t worry you are not alone. Last night on The Bachelor, Ali, who left Jake for fear of being fired from her job if she stayed, pleaded Jake to come back but unfortunately was brutally DENIED! I was soooo pissed. So what’s the next step for Ali? Aahh go on the Ellen DeGeneres show and tell the world what really happened of course.
So check this out, at the end of the episode I turned to Mr. Smith and said “I bet you a million dollars that Ali will be the next Bachelorette” and today it’s all over the internet. Not only did Jake make a huge mistake by not letting Ali come back but now rumors are surfacing that Gia had another man at home (But who cares, she went home last night) and that Vienna is still in love with her ex-boyfriend in Florida, not to mention all the wild pictures of her, like licking whip cream of another girls chest.
Good luck Jake… Thanks for employing the gossip mags of America (If you pick Vienna). Which he might.
E! Online’s second annual CW awards winners are in… and they are awesome!

I don’t normallyget obsessed with shows but there’s just something about The Vampire Diaries that makes me tingle. And I’m not the only one who’s caught in this hot vampire web. The Vampire Diaries just got picked up early for another season, along with Gossip Girl, Supernatural, America’s Next Top Model and 90210.
Who may be in trouble? Smallville, One Tree Hill, Life Unexpected and Melrose Place.
So I have been hearing rumors that this seasons Bachelor finale will shock and disappoint everyone. And what will disappoint everyone more than anything? Vienna. I don’t normally watch the Bachelor, or the Bachelorette for that matter. I happened to see the last few episodes of Jillian’s quest for love, and started watching Jake when he had about 10 girls left, now he’s down to 3… or is it 4?
On the last episode of The Bachelor, Jake had to get rid of one more girl, but unfortunately did not get a chance because Ali (My favorite) was given an ultimatum by her job and was forced to leave the show for fear she would get fired. Jake kept saying that it broke his heart when Ali left, but previews of the next episode suggest that Ali might be coming back. Hey… it worked for Ed didn’t it!?!
Now let’s get back to the rumors… ABC had made no effort to conceal the identity of Jake’s bride of choice and rumors have been saying that Vienna will in fact be the winner. Vienna has been proclaimed the most hated girl in the house, especially by my girl Ali. Jake however did not want to listen to gossip or other girls opinions and has kept her in the race, claiming that he’s feelings for her are real.
Personally, I think she is an idiot, she is too young, she is spoiled and she definitely does not deserve him. I really think that he is a nice descent guy, and Vienna is just so not right for him. Ali is so pretty and I think that they are definitely perfect for each other. So ABC thinks that we will be disappointed; that is not even close to what we will be. More like outraged. If he picks Vienna, I am boycotting The Bachelor. The End.
