Oscars search for a new host that audiences can complain about
Yesterday, Facebook, Twitter, blogs, news sites, town criers, and carrier pigeons delivered news about Eddie Murphy stepping down as host of the Oscars. This news came shortly after Brett Ratner resigned as producer because of his gaycist ways. Apparently the two are homies so the news wasn’t that surprising. However, I am kind of upset...
The Oscar Worth of The Ides of March
Yesterday, I saw a screening of political thriller, The Ides of March (stay tuned for a review later this week) and realized that, in addition to Gosling swag, this movie is stuffed with so much thespian wattage that it is destined for an Academy Award nomination or two. For instance, Ryan Gosling has received an...
Geist Infection: Seeing Red
I’ll bypass the obvious things that are drunkenly wandering around in the pop culture geist such as the whole Charlie Sheen circus, X-tina’s public intoxication, Gaga’s egotistically moist music video, and John Galliano’s anti-semitic tirade that got him dethroned from the house of Dior. But forget all that — it’s all about RED. No, I’m...

Unnecessary red carpet correspondent of the evening: Kathy Ireland
Kathy Ireland took some time out of her busy home furnishing design schedule to report from the red carpet for ABC – and we could’ve done without that. AP Photo/Chris Pizzello Does anyone remember that episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 when they were watching a B-movie starring Kathy and they were commenting on how...
Is the Oscars red carpet neccessary?
I am sitting here watching the red carpet for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards and there’s a lot of eye rolling coming from my end. As a “fashion writer” I should be excited by the red carpet, but for many fashion journalists (not broadcast personalities or style bloggers) that I have talked to, the red...
The celebrity wattage of ‘Valentine’s Day’
Last night I watched a screening of the rom-com of the moment, Valentine’s Day and couldn’t help but think how much this movie was like a Jenga game of celebrities. It was like a celebratory orgy of fame – but exactly how much star wattage was on this crowded Hollywood hayride? I put my disdain...
Oscar movie check-off list 01-09-10
The latest movie to get crossed off of my Oscar buzz list is Invictus starring Morgan Freeman as the selfless Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as the dreamy South African rugby captain, Francois Pienaar. Immediately after the movie I tweeted: @DinoRay Don’t tell anyone, but INVICTUS almost made me cry. I didn’t know I was...
