I was pretty happy with the winners. Natalie Portman deserved her best actress award for making me feel uncomfortable while watching her on let the sound of her own wheels drive her crazy for two hours. "The King’s Speech" was a remarkably good movie, so I am glad that it won best picture and that Colin Firth won best actor. I am glad I missed the Gwenyth Paltrow singing and the whole auto-tune bit. I changed the channel for the boring stuff and anything that has the potential to make me wanna gouge my eyes.
Check out Kirk Douglas here if you missed him here.
The Libyans love Colonel Moammar Gadhafi, says Gadhafi in an interview with Christiane Amanpour.They love him. And he is not killing them. The only protestors are Al Qaeda, OK? And he is never leaving Libya. Why would he?
Farrakhan, No. Just No.
Speaking of crazy, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan said on Sunday that he is a ride-or-die friend to Gadhafi and is not going to let some crimes against humanity stand in the way. Having said that, he thinks revolutions are about to happen all over the world, including in the U.S.
His other nuggets during his Sunday speech at a suburban Chicago event included saying that he digs Scientology because it was intended “civilize white people” and he thinks Rihanna is filthy and that people who like her are swine. Rihanna – who cracks me up on twitter mocked the remarks about her on Monday. More.
@MayorEmanuel Revealed
All this time I was waiting for @MayorEmanuel to emerge as someone from Rahm Emanuel’s campaign team or some sort of insider. Nope, it journalism professor Dan Sinker. When I was imagining the man behind the tweets, I pictured a Michael J. Fox-type from “Spin City,” not a Chicago punk/hipster. Still, the dude had an uncanny way of dropping f-bombs. Journalists are so multi-talented.
