What I Learned on E! Entertainment’s SAG Awards Pre-Show

Filed under: Celebrities, Entertainment

1. Stars — they’re just as uncoordinated as us! Yes, I yelped with glee when Angelina Jolie tripped on the red carpet. I’m simple like that. Also, she’s totally pregnant.

2. Ryan Gosling’s mother never taught him it’s rude to chew gum during a red carpet interview with Giuliana DePandi . Or that, contrary to what the early ’90s taught us, plaid is not always our friend.

Not content with dominating most every facet of media, Oprah Winfrey is now getting her own darn TV network, too.

Yes, Oprah, who wasn’t happy with her investment in Oxygen because “it didn’t reflect her vision at all,” is forming a 50-50 joint venture with Discovery Communications to launch the Oprah Winfrey Network — or OWN.

The real Queen of All Media will be chairman of the network and have “full editorial control,” with responsibility for programming, branding and creative vision.

Screw Guitar Hero — I …

Yet Another Awards Show, Er… I Mean, the Critics’ Choice Awards!  Woo-hoo!

Filed under: Entertainment

brangelina-criticschoice.jpg

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were among the guests who took advantage of the free food and drinks — and, oh yeah, supported their fellow actors — at tonight’s Critics’ Choice Awards. With no picket lines in sight, stars were free to enjoy the par-tay.

Who the hell cares about these awards, you’re wondering? Well, turns out, the CCA (as those in “the know” call them… okay, only I do) have a decent track record as an Oscar predictor. In the past 12 years, half of the acting and best picture winners have …

Looks like her dream of being Miss Golden Globe will never come to fruition…

Due to, well, nobody coming to the Golden Globes in support of the writers’ strike, the ceremony has been canceled and will be replaced with a special edition of Dateline to showcase the nominees, followed by a press conference announcing the winners.

Darn. Out of the one billion awards shows in existence, the Golden Globes is the one ceremony I actually look forward to — because all the stars are wasted! Wherever will I get my …

Sherri Shepherd:  “Nothing Predates Christians”

Filed under: Entertainment

The View’s Sherri Shepherd, who thinks the Earth is flat and likely believes Jesus rode on dinosaurs, had this to say in today’s discussion about Epicurus and the Greeks:

Whoopi: “When he was around there was no Jesus Christ stuff going on.”

Sherri: “They still had Christians back then. They had Christians because they threw them to the lions.”

Whoopi: “I think this might predate that.”

Sherri: “I don’t think anything predates Christians.”

Joy: “The Greeks were first. Then the Romans. Then the Christians.”

Sherri: “Jesus came first before them, so…”

Whoopi: “Not on paper.”
