Newsgasm: Barrel-Bottom-Scraping Edition

  • Nothing happened in the entertainment world this weekend. Nothing. So to lead off I give you Gawker's excellent screencaps of the Oprah-James Frey confrontation from the end of last week. The Oprah is NOT PLEASED. [Gawker]
  • Oscar nominations will be announced tomorrow morning. Set your alarm early to see a caffeine-addled Mira Sorvino stumble through the names at 5:30am PST while her father weeps uncontrollably in the background. [Oscars.org]
  • Vince Vaughn has all but moved in with Jennifer Aniston, who apparently did not handle the news of Angelina Jolie's pregnancy very well. Oh LADY, desperation cohabitation is not hot. [MSN]
  • And Crash upset Brokeback Mountain for Best Ensemble Cast, the top award at the SAG Awards. At the after party, an enraged, boa-clad Steven Cojocaru attempted to mount Don Cheadle in retaliation but luckily was restrained by the ever-robust Kathleen Turner. [BBC]

Speaking of the SAG awards....a big CONGRATS to my man Kiefer on winning outstanding performance by a male actor in a drama series. WOO-HOO!!!

Also, if you haven't seen Crash, I would highly recommend it. Great twists and turns. Makes you face your own prejudices head on as you find yourself laughing at stuff that you immediately feel self-conscious for laughing at in the first place. Great movie!

Does Desperate Housewives HAVE to win for best comedy series in every award show? Can't we just be nice to Arrested Development and give it the ensemble comedy award given that it's leaving us (only to possibly be resurrected on pay cable)?

I'm still trying to give "Crash" a chance. It just strikes me as an emotionally dishonest and manipulative film. Oh, well, at least Terrence Howard gets something.

Granted, Gawker did an excellent job of recapping the Oprah's James Frey show, but I still think it could use a TVGasm commentary as well. The way Frey sat there like a whiny chump the entire time was classic. I agree with the view that he will soon be back on drugs if he isn't already. Being proclaimed worthless by Oprah, Joel Stein, Maureen Dowd, Richard Cohen, Frank Rich, and a couple of other random people would be enough to drive me back to drugs.
