Hollywood’s biggest award show is over for another year. Done. Kaput. No more bets on who will win and who will lose (although if I actually gambled on who would take home an Oscar, I would be a bit richer today). And while last night’s winners polish their statues and the losers polish off another bottle of Skinny Wine, I am giving kudos to one of the best Academy Awards show in years.

Here’s why last night Oscars rocked:

The host:

Hugh Jackman. He’s sexy, charming and helped made the usual dull Oscars entertaining. His musical montage of the year’s celebrated films –along this poorly made props (thank you recession)– and duet with Anne Hathaway rocked. He made the celebrities laugh—which makes him an automatic hit. He better be back next year.

The guests:

Brangelina–While most people were waiting for Angie and Brad to make their way down the red carpet—I couldn’t care less. Although both extremely talented and stunning—they are overrated. Besides, is it me or does Angelina have a permanent cold look to her? Girl needs to smile more often. Take some cues from Aniston. Yeah, I said it. Read more…

I tried my darn hardest to avoid ranting (impossible to rave) about the world’s most famous mother to 14 biological children. And you know I am not talking about Angelina Jolie—even though this particular pop-culture “celebrity” might wish otherwise.

But after reading about Nadya Suleman (better known as Octomom) this past month, I just had to give my two cents. I couldn’t resist. It’s like gossip mags avoiding photos and interviews from train wreck couple Heidi Montag and her douchebag boyfriend/husband/pet Spencer Pratt.

Impossible—I know.

By now you know how Suleman came to be Octomom. She was implanted with six embryos through in-vitro fertilization. Two of the embryos split, which resulted in the eight babies.

You also know that, according to the Associated Press, she has six OTHER children at home as well. Read more…

They wear designer clothing and shoes yet they are only less than four feet tall (no, not the Olsen Twins). They are millionaires and they haven’t worked a day in their lives (nope, not Paris Hilton either). Their parents are (usually) talented and in most cases, ridiculously beautiful.

I’m talking about celebrity babies. And I love them.

From Honor Marie Warren (Mom: Jessica Alba) to Nahla Ariela Aubry (Mom: Halle Berry) these kids are too cute. And the world adores them too.

But, there’s one little tot who I think is the cutest of all. And it’s not Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. She may have her mother’s killer stunning facial features and her daddy’s golden locks but, even though she may have one of the most attractive parents in showbiz, she doesn’t compare to another toddler with almost equally famous parents.

There are only a few words to describe Joaquin Phoenix’s appearance on David Letterman two nights ago. Bizarre, awkward, uncomfortable and hilarious (thanks to Letterman) are a few and, well, that’s about it.

But there is something about his behaviour that doesn’t quite convince me (and many others) that his transition from an actor to a would-be singer is something serious.

Ever since Phoenix announced he was retiring from acting back in October 2008 in order to focus on a music career—I didn’t buy it. When news broke that friend and brother-in-law Casey Affleck would “document” (or mocument) his career to making hip-hop music—I had to hold back laughter. Read more…

There’s something about Chris Brown I just don’t like. At least, when compared to his girlfriend Rihanna. He just doesn’t measure up to her success, talent and likeability.

So when news broke last night that R&B’s sexiest couple would be M.I.A. at the Grammys—I knew something was up. How could music’s hottest duo miss out on one of the biggest awards show in entertainment? Especially since both were scheduled to perform that very night?

Lets ask Brown.

According to E! News, Perezhilton.com and every other news media outlet, Brown turned himself in to Los Angeles police over an alleged assault on an unidentified woman—which multiple sources have just confirmed was the “Disturbia” star. Read more…

Tomorrow night, music buffs will pull away from Guitar Hero—for a mere few hours—to tune into the biggest and, sometimes, the most entertaining award show.

Tomorrow night, it’s the freakin’ Grammys.

It’s full of glitz, glamour and shady artists. From the over-and-underdressed stars to the arrival of the Jonas Brothers on the carpet (I hope that one, if not all, fans finally realize how untalented these creatures really are) the Grammy’s are somewhat equivalent to the Academy Awards.

And, even though the Grammys have let me down before(ahem, John Mayer’s five nominations this year for… what did he recently release?) they also provided good surprises (the 2007 much-hyped reunion of The Police. Sting is still sexy). Read more…

I feel bad for Eddie Murphy. He got trapped and tricked into having sex with Spice Girl Mel B. Then she got pregnant. He denied the baby was his; claiming Scary Spice was a tramp. Then DNA proved the baby was his. Now he’s a deadbeat dad. Really, I feel SO bad for Eddie A-hole Murphy.

It must be hard to have the title as a shiteous and deadbeat father who cares about no one but himself. Really. I feel your pain jackass.

But if you feel a bit confused, then let’s rewind just a tad. A-hole Murphy dated Mel B. THEY had sex. No wait. She SOMEHOW used her Spice Girls super powers to seduce him. A-hole Murphy then claimed that Mel insisted she was on birth control. He also claimed they only had sex THREE times. Read more…

It’s been 30 days into the New Year, which means 30 days full of things to rave and rant about in pop culture. Here’s the month’s best and the worst in entertainment, music, celebrities and all things mainstream.

RAVE:

5) Amy Winehouse Gets Robbed: No, I am not referring to her marriage. I am talking about her apartment in London. According to eonline.com, thieves stole roughly $21, 000 worth of property, including pricy recording equipment, a flat-screen TV and five supposedly irreplaceable guitars. And they didn’t steal any drugs? They couldn’t have possibly missed it. Hmm, this story sounds kind of sketchy.

4) James Morrison: His amazing singles “You Give Me Something” and “Wonderful World” are only glimpses into this man’s talent. Last week, he earned a nomination for Best Male Solo Artist at the Brit Awards. His newest single “Broken Strings” with Nelly Furtado has reached No 2 on the U.K. singles chart. His voice is sexy. His lyrics are beautiful and brilliant. Sure he may look like Coldplay’s Chris Martin but his raspy voice serenades women AND men. I think I’m in love. Don’t tell my boyfriend. Read more…
