Disturbia

There has been a ton of happenings in the world of entertainment in the past few days. The Grammy's showcased music's best performers. Was anybody else disappointed with the new U2 song? I think the performance just didn't feel as energetic and frenetic as I think it was supposed to. I will however be downloading the album when it comes out in March.

I also thought Coldplay didn't do that great of a job, although I did like the opening part with Chris Martin and Jay-Z. However, that song has been overplayed so much this past year, I guess the recorded version is ingrained in my head.

I was psyched to see Radiohead, loved the T.I./JT collaboration and also the Kanye/Estelle performance of American Boy, but as it turns out Kanye is very disturbed by the Chris Brown/Rhianna drama that has unfolded in the last few days.

Let's just say right here, right now, there is no place in this world for domestic violence. What I don't understand is what those two could have possibly been fighting about that would lead to such a quick escalation of violence. I mean they are 19 and 20 years old. Disturbia indeed.

So, just read some breaking news on US Weekly.com. No, I don't check their site every day, they just so happen to send me e-mail updates daily. A quick recap: Chris Brown and Rhianna, Grammy Fashion, Kanye "completley devestated", Jessica is still battling the bulge and George and Izzy are leaving Grey's.

Yup, you heard it here apparently they are both leaving Seattle Grace for bigger and better things. I almost forgot George was on the show, until he popped in for three lines last week in that painful two hour crossover special I had to watch and will apparently have to watch again this week. Can we just get it straight--Private Practice is not good and everyone on that show is whinier then Meredith ever was. I guarantee you that Derrick saves the guy from Melrose and everyone lives happily ever after.

Hollywood thank you for taking the time to make my day.

The Oscars

The Oscar nominees came out yesterday and I have to say that I have not seen one of the movies that was nominated. I am also pretty sure that I haven't seen any of the movies that got any nominations at all, which is kind of pathetic since I like to think that I am still in the thick of all things celebrity. I guess having a magazine subscription and watching the red carpet doesn't really count.

I have seen two movies in the theatre since the Lady was born--Juno, which was an Oscar nominee last year and The Dark Knight (I guess I did see one movie with a nod) and that is it. It kind of saddens me because I think that my husband and I probably saw on average 20 movies a year together. He is a big movie guy, you know the kind of guy who quotes the trailer even though the movie hasn't even come out yet--yeah he's that guy. I will find him up at like two in the morning on a Tuesday watching Rounders for the eight hundredth time just because he likes movies and he can't sleep. The other night he started watching Casino from the middle at like 1o:30 p.m. while I tried in vain to fall asleep to the heavy accent of Joe Peschi and a screaming scene with Sharon Stone. I think my heavy sighing did get the point across eventually.

Anyway, I am thinking of trying to see at least one of the nominated movies this year. My vote is for Slumdog Millionaire because I hear it is good, it doesn't start Brangalina and I always love an underdog story.

Let me know if you have any Oscar favorites for this year or if you saw any of the movies nominated.

I am really trying to get back to this blog not only for my own sanity but for the sake of all you readers who are procrastinating at work!
