Those Oscar kids are sly

oscarIn a “daring…” “unprecedented…” “shocking…” and (my personal favorite) “envelope-pushing” move, the producers of this year’s Academy-Awards ceremony have… announced the winners early!

HA HA HA, just kidding!

Seriously, though, they’ve decided to add even more suspense to the award show by NOT releasing the names of the presenters. So take that, you blog-obsessed, tabloid-indulgent public! Instead, you have to WATCH the show (Feb. 22 on ABC) to find out which lucky celebs have been chosen to read off the teleprompter.

Well, we have to give them credit for “thinking outside the bun”

tbdogApparently, the apocalypse has come sooner than I was expecting: people are now getting married at Taco Bell. I guess it is somewhat fitting since weddings can be known to cause indigestion and excessive sweating, much like Taco Bell’s exquisite cuisine.

A couple in Normal, Illinois (ok, now this whole thing is getting really cliche!) tied the knot at their local Taco Bell because it’s their favorite place to hang out, and they have an “offbeat relationship.” You don’t say.

Since none of us were invited, below is the clip and click here if you want to read the Associated Press brief.

Ok Sylvia, now you aren’t even trying

browneOne of my favorite things about the New Year is all the amazing celebrity predictions that come out from reputable psychics/astrologers. As history shows, their accuracy rate is…um….you know what? Let’s not go there. Kind of not relevant for this post anyway.

That said, Montel Williams’ former go-to psychic Sylvia Browne has obviously lost her mojo now that Montel has no talk show for her to appear on and astonish the gullible public with her “knowledge,” because her 2009 celebrity predictions are beyond bor-ing, and quite honestly really predict-able.

Paris goes to jail? Duh, already happened. And the Olsen twins getting questioned regarding drugs? Yeah, that happened too. Try again. Angie and Brad in marriage trouble? Yawn, been reading about that for months.

Based on the press release that went out this week, here is just a brief list of her “predictions”…be sure to take it with you on your next trip to Vegas for that awesome betting-board thing they have…

  • “This might surprise you, but everyone went “oh” when I said Brad Pitt and Jen Aniston were going to break up. But I’m telling you now, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are in real big trouble. They could very well separate towards the end of the year.”
  • Clint Eastwood will have some leg problems. It almost seems like a very, very bad case of varicose veins that are going to have to be stripped. It’s going to be very painful for him.”
  • Paris Hilton will land in jail over an accident. That isn’t, I don’t think, a big surprise to anybody.”
  • Britney Spears will become ill and not be able to perform for 4 months. And that’s toward the mid-part of the year.”
  • Katie Couric is replaced from her position on the CBS nightly news. I don’t know who it’ll be, but it’ll be someone who has been on one of the Good Morning America shows or something like that [to replace Couric].”
  • Nicole Richie will separate from Joel Madden.”
  • “The Olson Twins will be picked up and questioned regarding drugs.”

Yes, the title is slightly offensive, but really only to penguins if you think about it

penguin-chickEvery once in awhile, I will come across a blog that I think is damn near as good as mine. And when that happens I want the world to know about it, cause that’s just the kind of person I am.

I was recently referred to F**k You, Penguin and for one second, as an avid, I mean super avid, penguin lover I was horrified by the title. But then of course I clicked anyway because I couldn’t help myself, and holy cow was I in for a treat. The blog is all about cute animals and how obnoxious they are. Trust me, this blogger is on to something. Forget your conspiracy theories and all that…F**k You, Penguin is the real deal.

So check it out and start hating on penguins (ok, not really…how about other animals, like monkeys or giraffes, cause penguins really are just too precious for words).
