Woops. Huh. I don't have any updates for you on Casey or her head or the move if that's what you're looking for. What I do have are some comments about the Oscars. Did you watch the Oscars? What'd you think? Didn't Kate Winslett look fabulous? Wasn't Laura Linney hideous?
I guess the jury is out on Chris Rock. I thought he was pretty funny. USA Today trashed him. They called him one of the "worst hosts ever." They said he didn't make enough jokes that pertained to MOVIES.
Personally, I thought the fact that the audio kept dropping out and the stagehands kept dropping really big pieces of equipment backstage was more of an immediate problem.
And I don't think they'll be giving out any more awards in the aisles again. What a stupid idea.
And the whole Red Carpet thing has gotten so out of hand. Not the media or the papparazzi or the noise or the fans or the obscene gradiosity of it all. No, no, I'm fine with all that. I mean those blasted professionals that E! and TV Guide hire to "work" the Red Carpet.
I'm pretty sure E! just picked Star Jones-Reynolds because they wanted to find the one person on the face of the Earth who could give Joan & Melissa a run for their annoying and inappropriate money. If I could just say one thing to SJR, it would be: IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU. Nobody cares that you're wearing the same jeweler as Hillary Swank, OK? Shutupshutupshutupshutupshutup. We don't tune in to hear you blabber. All we really want is to SEE THE CELEBS. So move your fat ass out of the way.
And poor Kathy Griffin. Really, she has the worst job in the world. Because there has to be a #2 to throw it to, seeing as Star has no idea how to entertain the viewers when she's between celebs. So they put this poor girl up on scaffolding, miles away from the action, so she doesn't really have anything to report or say. They just stick her up there and say, "OK...be funny." So of course her jokes are lame! Who could work that gig?
I wonder if Star and Joan and Melissa actually get seats in the auditorium. Do you think they do? I bet they don't. Not that they didn't have plenty of empty ones to give away last night.
