Who Got Nominated For The 2011 Oscars?

Nominations for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards were announced today in Beverly Hills, CA. The Awards ceremony will be held Sunday, Feb. 27 on ABC. Anne Hathaway and James Franco will co-host the event.

The leading nominations winner? The King’s Speech lead all movies with 12 nominations. True Grit and Inception are both at a close second and third with 10 and eight, respectively.

Sadly, my man Mark Wahlberg was snubbed for Best Actor, but The Fighter was nominated for Best Picture and his co-stars Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Melissa Leo all got nominations as well. It’s like the Titanic all over again with the whole cast and movie being nominated but the main actor, in that latter case, Leonardo DiCaprio.

Mila Kunis was also a no-show on the nominations list as were director Christopher Nolan (Inception), Michael Douglas (Wallstreet), Andrew Garfield (The Social Network), Matt Damon (True Grit), Ryan Gosling (Blue Valentine), Julianne Moore (The Kids Are All Right); Halle Berry (Frankie & Alice), and Paul Giamatti (Barney’s Version).

Baby Spice Is Engaged!

Emma Bunton, or better known to music fans as Baby Spice of the ’90’s girl band Spice Girls announced via Twitter today that she is engaged to longtime love Jade Jones.

Emma also showed off her magnificent ring on Twitter by posting the photo to the right with the caption, “Yahooooo I’m Engaged! Love you Jade! I’m a very happy lady!!”

The happy engaged couple is expecting their second child together in May.

Jaime Pressly Owes A Crap Load of Back Taxes

Jaime Pressly is just not having a good year. And it’s only January. Earlier this month, she was arrested on a DUI charge. Now, we’ve found out that she may owe $637,000 in Federal and state taxes.

Ouch!

Don’t these celebs ever learn? You just can’t mess with Uncle Sam!
Guess Pressly hadn’t heard that motto because it seems that the IRS has filed a $260,370 tax lien filed against her on December 6, which was added to a prior lien for $281,699 filed on September 8.

And those two liens are adds-on to a $95,080 lien filed by the State of California.

Hope she gets a lot of residual earnings from those old My Name Is Earl reruns because she may have to pay big brother each and every penny of the back taxes. Good luck girl, good luck!

Regis Philbin “Retired” Due To Impending Pay Cut?

Regis Philbin didn’t give up his day job on Live with Regis and Kelly because he wants to start enjoying his retirement.

Far from it. He quit over money.

Per TMZ, Regis was told by the higher ups at the show that they were going to cut his salary when his contract expired because the show was not doing as well as before. 
Per TMZ, Regis’ current contract nets him $18-20 million and Regis did not want a pay cut. 
This should get interesting – we will have to wait and see if the show will meet Regis’ demands to keep him on the show, if Regis goes on to another show, or if he simply walks peacefully into the retirement sunset.

Rashard Mendenhall Humps Roethlisberger During AFC Championship Game – Watch Video

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

I don’t have any idea other than the obvious as to what is or could be going on here.

But after it became clear that the Pittsburgh Steelers had beaten the NY Jets in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game, Steelers’ Rashard Mendenhall celebrated by humping quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for no apparent reason.

God I love the NFL.

Watch Mendenhall hump Roethlisberger for yourself:

VIDEO: Mark Sanchez Picks Nose & Leaves Teammate With A Drive By Booger Gift

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

The Jets may have lost the AFC Championship Sunday to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the biggest loser of them all ended up being the Jets’ player standing next to quarterback Mark Sanchez.

Watch Sanchez pick his nose and rub the booger on the unsuspecting player/victim by his side, aka, Mark Brunell.

Wow. Seriously dude? I understand if no tissues were around at the time of your pickin’, but to not even use your own clothes to rub one out seems just plain wrong!

Isn’t there some man rule against this type of battery?  Can’t wait till the dude next to Mark watches this video. Mark, you’re gonna have some explainin’ to do!

Oprah is all about perfection.

And that’s why the TV mogul has ordered reshoots and delayed the premiere of Sarah Ferguson’s new reality show for her OWN network after watching disappointing footage of the show.

According to a source, “Oprah isn’t happy with the show. She found parts of it boring.”

The six-part series would have premiered in the spring, but a network rep confirmed that it’s been pushed back. “As of now we’re anticipating that it will premiere in the summer,” the spokesperson said.

That’s not good news. Sarah is probably holding back and doesn’t want to reveal too much, however, Oprah knows that her viewers want to see the juicy stuff.

Will U watch?

George Clooney Will Never Ever Marry Again. Ever.

Sorry to break it to you ladies, but George Clooney will never ever settle down again. Ever. At least that’s what he confessed to on last night’s episode of Piers Morgan Tonight.

The 49-year-old Clooney opened up on the show and said his one and only previous marriage to Talia Balsam, the actress who now plays Natalie Portman’s mother in No Strings Attached was enough for Clooney to make him run for a lifetime of bachelorhood. That marriage ended in 1993 and Clooney has not looked back since.

Despite constant tabloid speculation that Clooney will marry his Italian girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, he told Piers: “I hate to blow your whole news story, but I was married, so I gave it a shot.” That shot has “proven how good I was at it.”

I hear lots of breaking hearts all around me….

Pink Gets All Mushy About Her Baby To Be

P!nk is preggers with her first child and will be welcoming a baby daughter into the world soon. But looks like P!nk’s motherly instincts have already kicked in and she has a sweet message to deliver to her baby to be in a controversial music video dealing with cutting and suicide (see the video below).

The 31-year old rocker explains on her blog what her music video F**kin’ Perfect means to her:

“Making this video was a very emotional experience for me, as was writing this song. I have a life inside of me, and I want her or him to know that I will accept him or her with open and loving and welcoming arms. And though I will prepare this little munchkin for a sometimes cruel world, I will also equip this kid to see all the beauty in it as well.”

P!nk continues, “I support the kids out there that feel so desperate/numb/powerless, that feel unseen and unheard, and can’t see another way. I want them to know I’m aware. I have been there. I see them. There are good people in this world that are open-minded, and loving. There are those that accept us with all of our flaws. I do that with my fans/friends, and I will do that with my child, whoever they decide to be.”

Popeater.com reports that P!nk also warns people to take young women in crisis seriously: “Cutting, and suicide, two very different symptoms of the same problem, are gaining on us….I personally don’t know a single person who doesn’t know at least two of these victims personally. A lot of us have seen certain starlets showing off their latest scars on a red carpet somewhere, usually right before they head back to their favorite rehab. It’s a problem, and it’s something we should talk about.”

P!nk, I like this newer, softer side of you. Though you never fooled me; I always knew that’s exactly what you had inside your tough exterior! Much love!
