First!!1!
But seriously. Amy. Awesome.
That is all.
"It's showtime folks"
Oh thank god about the Oscars! I'm hosting a fundraiser Oscar watch party, and it wouldn't have gone quite as well if there were no dresses to snark at. I may be raising money for charity, but apparently I'm also evil, because I laughed out loud at the Heather Mills joke.
I only have one thing to say about the Grammys...Morris Day and The Motherfuckin' Time!!!
Fucking Mills, how did you expect sympathy when you went on on National TV and cried about how one of the (frankly the nicest) Beatles was a bit of a meanie.
That is all.
Apparently, everyone can find Sam Lufti except the people who are trying to serve him. How about they give the restraining order to E!.
Amy needs to get away from Blake, and Blake needs to get away from Amy. Their relationship is beyond toxic.
And that Posh item is a visual I really didn't need at 9 am on a Monday morning.
Looking forward to Rob Lowe's memoir... wait...
Scary skinny Posh looks sickly in person, how is that possible!
So that is why Paul wasn't at the Grammys.
Can't some judge please order Britney to seclusion somewhere for six month. For the good of society?
@hortense: Why do I get the impression a porn star would see any "hole" as bigger than it is.
How about Tina Turner rocking the shit out of the Grammys last night? Come on!
@NefariousNewt: Totes... you know the camera adds 10 lbs, and possibly 1.5 inches.
It is soooo wrong that Ellen Pompeo's skinny ass can afford an apt that expensive. Gawd, her show isn't even good .
Roy Scheider -- good actor. RIP. Jaws was OK (not a big Spielberg fan); really liked him in Blue Thunder and 2010.
Caviar-in-pore imagery, disgust. The worst blackhead you could ever have.
Posh has bad skin? who the hell cares. she is fabulous and human. Yay for imperfections!
@QueenCanada: It was awesome until Beyonce joined her.
@SinisterRouge: I was thinking the same thing! How the hell does she make that kind of money?
i didn't know that about tim burton meeting HBC that way. sort of takes the magic out of such a pair. this is why i shy away from meeting famous people who i respect. always turns out disappointing!
This year's Grammys were a pretty good example of why we need writers. Was everyone ad-libbing up there? It was horrible.
I read about Roy Scheider this morning and was overwhelmingly bummed. I loved "Jaws" as a kid. :(
I was, however, jazzed about Amy Winehouse's wins last night! Take that, Beyonce!
@QueenCanada: beyonce, not so much..
@AthertonMerriweather: True dat. Tina is a legend, Beyonce is a product.
Am I the only one here who freaking loved "All That Jazz?" That's the first thing I thought about when I saw Roy Scheider died, not "Jaws." I really am a gay man trapped in a woman's body.
Oh and Roy Scheider. :(
@QueenCanada: I didn't like Rhianna with Morris Day either. I think she's great, but I'd like for the legends to be able to perform their songs without the younger kids having to join in.
@ineffable.me: Thank you! Posh is totally fab and as a girl who also has kinda big pores, I think there's nothing wrong with that. Michael Lucas should be happy she even gave him the time of day.
ScarJo + Ryan Reynolds = ugh. Sorry, but I'd much rather hang with Alanis than her.
I refuse to believe the Posh item. I heart her too much.
I can only hope that Amy can get her shit together in rehab and realize what a user creep her husband is. It makes me sad to think she's so lonely/insecure/whatever that she thinks she needs him around. She may really love him, but I'm not sure the same can be said for him.
@bananaballs: I didn't know either. They seem so perfect for each other, I sort of just imagined the universe bringing them together.
I don't know about you but I always take facial advice from porn stars.
Dear Blake,
Die.
Seriously, when will this fucker die off? He's a goddamn parasite.
@summerwheatley: Going from Alanis to ScarJo: major downgrade.
@bananaballs: Yeah he's kinda a dick, so they deserve each other. But he's nowhere as slimy as Robert Rodriguez.
I missed the Grammys (and the BAFTAs on BBCA)... I went to see Hillary speak instead. But I figured it was ok, reading the run-downs the next day tells me everything I need to know without having to sit through all the crap. And I'm looking forward to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly here later today!
And R.I.P. Roy. Is it bad that one of my first thoughts after hearing the news of his death was "Oh no! Sea Quest DSV! First Jonathan Brandis, now Roy Scheider... I hope Darwin the talking dolphin is still ok!" My boyfriend on the other hand, said he first thought they said Rob Schneider, and got his hopes up.
That's the grossest thing I've ever heard -- an open pore containing a fish egg. That is so elaborately nasty. My tea just came up.
@DorothyZbornak:
Rob Scheider was a great entertainer...
A great humanitarian...
And my dearest, dearest friend for mumble-mumble years...
@Jerseylicious: You saw Hillary?! I'd say it was definately worth skipping the Grammys.
@NefariousNewt: @DorothyZbornak: This Oscars (go writers negotiation!) is going to be a sad one. Lots of gone great actors to honor this year.
Zzzzzz
Oh, no. Roy Scheider died?
This makes me sad. Today is a sad Monday.
@SinisterRouge: off topic. Obama is on my campus today. He's speaking in an hour.
@AthertonMerriweather: Oh-dee-oh-dee-oh! God, have had that song stuck in my head since I got up this morning. Gotta go find the CD on Amazon...
@Jerseylicious: My husband though to same thing. He was really curious what he died of.
Keith Richards is still alive?
@AthertonMerriweather: WORD! I loved that!
@QueenCanada: yeah, except she needs to lay off the botox and learn to dress herself properly. She looked awful.
Worst moment of the Grammys: That country singer performing his song "I Wanna Check You For Ticks". 'Cause nothing says lovin' like a full-body search-and-destroy mission for bloated, blood-sucking parasites! (Why do I want to make a Britney/Sam Lufti comment now?!?)
