The 'Eff You' Heard 'Round the World



If you live on the moon and didn't watch the Oscars last night, you missed the most awesome verbal flip-off of the century. Beyonce belted the song At Last in the mish-mash that was one of the most hideous odes-to-musicals I've ever heard. If you don't know the current feud between Beyonce and Etta James over this song, allow me to recap:

Phase One: Beyonce receives permission from Etta James to portray Etta James in movie Cadillac Records.

Phase Two: Beyonce and Etta James pose for pictures together on the red carpet for premier of Cadillac Records. They are friendly and happy. Their menstrual cycles align.

Phase Three: Beyonce sings At Last at the presidential inauguration on January 20. 

Phase Four: At the beginning of February, Etta James performed at a concert in Seattle. While performing, she said, "... he [Obama] had that woman [Beyonce] singing MY song. She gon' get her ass whooped. I can't stand Beyonce." 

Phase Five: Fully in-the-know regarding Etta's spontaneous feelings of hate, Beyonce throws a little At Last into the musical mix at the Oscars, once more sticking it to Etta - and possibly sparking an "ass whooping" from the crazy bag lady.

I would be very careful, Beyonce. Even your little alter ego, "Sasha Fierce," is no match for Etta James' alter ego, "Crazy Rhonda 'Razor Blades and Vaseline' Jenkins."

Today's Item I Would Like to Smear All Over My Body

I have an unhealthy obsession with cupcakes. The way they look, how they're made and how they taste. Specifically, Sprinkles Cupcakes. They're like tasty, spongy, balls of delicious art in a box. I have yet to actually taste a Sprinkles Cupcake, but one day I will. And when I do, I will smear it all over my body. And yes, I said 'balls.'

Sean Penn is Best Actor - (or he would have beat you with a pipe wrench)


Sean Penn won the Oscar for Best Actor in the movie Milk. The movie was phenomenal, so if you haven't seen it, go see it. Or Sean Penn will personally beat you down with a pipe wrench until you say uncle - or bleed the word uncle on to the pavement.

I'll Never Let Go, Jack


Kate Winslet just won the Oscar for Best Actress. I was rooting for Anne Hathaway because she was remarkable in Rachel Getting Married - and because she's got an amazing rack. Amazing racks don't go unrecognized here, my ample-busted beauty.

Jerry Lewis Got an Award


Eddie "downward spiral" Murphy presented the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award to Jerry Lewis. Damn, he looks really good for his age. He even pulled one of his "crazy faces" after accepting the award. Good for him. He'll be showered with bitches now.

Best Costume Des ..zzzzzzzzzzz


The Duchess - which I guess was a movie produced over the year sometime - just won the Oscar for Best Costume Design. The gentleman giving the acceptance speech - which I like to call "eyebrows on parade" seems nice, but he looks like he's going to lose control of his bowels on stage. That would be cool. Might help with ratings, too. Congrats, eyebrows dude.

Robot Porn


Congrats to Wall-E for winning the Oscar for Best Animated Motion Picture. Wall-E rocked. Although, I did hear a 7-year-old say, "This film needs more explosions and more screaming."

From Alcobendas with Love



It looks like Penelope Cruz has just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Hmm. Didn't actually see Vicky Christina Barcelona, but you're almost guaranteed an Oscar when you're in an obscure Woody Allen movie in which the title of movie only contains the surname or nickname of the female lead. Good for her. She just gave part of her speech in Spanish. I wish I knew more Spanish. She could have said "I think you're all big-headed megalomanics, but thanks for this award that I will re-name Umberto" but I'll never know.

Diamonds Aren't a Girl's Best Friend After All
