Live Blogging the Academy Awards, 2010 Edition [The Oscars]

lovelwh@stutimes.com — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 03:27:18 PST

Everyone likes watching the Oscars at a party, and we're having our very own! It's going to be here in the comments section. You're invited to come talk trash about Hollywood.

Why sit alone and yell insults at Sandra Bullock through the screen? Why go to a party with your lame friends who haven't seen a movie in the theater since Paul Blart: Mall Cop? Why wait for Us Weekly to decide who was the worst dressed? Please, step on into our virtual Oscar party and talk about everything Oscar-related right here on the internet!

For those of you who haven't done this before, here is the drill. We'll we watching the red carpet arrivals starting at 7pm on E! and the Oscar telecast on ABC starting at 8pm. We're going to be leaving our reactions to the show, the winners, the losers, the outfits, Julia Robert's hair, the creepy "this is who died this year" montage, and the rest in the comments section. We invite you to do the same by typing something fun in the little white box below next to the "Share" button. Click that button and your comments will go live, with no seven second delay. How dangerous! Keep refreshing this page to see all the new comments and the replies to your comments. It will be like we're all sitting in the same room sharing quips, highballs, and a lovely bruschetta.

We're going to keep doing this until your local news starts around midnightish, so we're in it for the long haul. We hope that you'll join us and that good things happen this evening. If not, well, Sandra Bullock winning an Oscar isn't the worst thing in the world, and we'll find some way to make it through.

All right, see you all in the comments!

Which Oscar nominee actor has gone completely off reservation? He's not returning his publicist, agent or manager's calls. He's refusing to do media appearances. There are fears he may bail on the ceremony tonight. "Last I heard," said one friend, "he was holed up in his room with some model."

The Time Karl Rove Got Beat Up by a Little Girl [Heroes]

lovelwh@stutimes.com — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:34:45 PST

According to his new memoir, a 9-year-old Rove affixed a Nixon sticker to his bicycle, prompting a leftist girl child to give him a bloody nose. We must find this girl and make her into a folk hero.

The fable of Rove's beat down at the hands of a little girl also appeared in a 2002 article in Utah's Deseret News, where we learn that tyke was Catholic and "put me down on the pavement and whaled on me and gave me a bloody nose. I lost my first political battle." The year was 1960, when Rove would have lived in Sparks, Nevada. (I think. Dedicated Rovologists correct me if I'm wrong, but this was between his early youth in Denver and late teens in Salt Lake City.)

Fascinating that Rove connects his political bloodlust to this event, in the manner of a Freudian analyst picking apart a grown man's first sexual experience. Because in the same Deseret article, Rove explains how he became president of his high school class: He recruited "an incredibly attractive senior girl" to chair his campaign and "made my entrance into the auditorium in a Volkswagen Bug filled with incredibly attractive girls. Two girls on each arm delivered me to the podium." Is it possible that a generation of dirty GOP tactics and George W. Bush's entire catastrophic career are all compensation for The Little Girl Who Got Away? Because, sheesh, Karl. Save your pennies, get a hotel room, and deal with your warped sexual aggression the way every other politician does, with the Emperor Club on speed dial.

The little girl knew not what she did, that her fists would launch a thousand campaigns and a war in Iraq. All she knew was that Karl Rove was a snot-nosed punk and she could take him down with one hand tied behind her pigtails. And for that, we salute her. [DailyIntel] [WaPo] [DesertNews]

Rest Easy, Anna Wintour: Your Impersonator Has Been Caught [Scams]

lovelwh@stutimes.com — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:34:43 PST

Emma Charlton pretended she had terminal cancer and was the editor of Vogue. Before that, she used the name Golightly and operated a gold-digging scam. Now, she will go to jail for defrauding her fiance and grandmother, among others.

Charlton confessed to 23 charges of theft and fraud in Great Britain last week, after stealing money from her granny and seducing a gullible man who believed that she was dying of cancer and that she was the editor of Vogue.

But this wasn't her first brush with the law. Years ago, as Emma Golightly (homage to iconic Breakfast at Tiffany's character Holly Golightly?) she seduced and conned five men to the tune of $375,000, then landed in jail for two years. This time around, she allegedly stole money while keeping up a rather bizarre tale of a high-fashion lifestyle. Toting a miniature dog everywhere she went, dressed in designer clothes, Charlton said she was the editor of Vogue when she booked a hotel for a charity fashion show and an Edwardian manor for her "dream wedding." Apparently nobody had seen The September Issue because that lie passed without question. (Charlton used her own name and didn't copy any of Anna's physical signatures, which is too bad, because if she'd been in a wig and sunglasses, think how great the courthouse pictures would be.) It was only when her checks bounced that Charlton was caught. Now she will go jail, a place ripe for Martha Stewart and Lil' Kim impersonations. Work the angle. [DailyMail]

Paterson's Just Tempting Us to Make Blind Jokes at This Point [Oops]

lovelwh@stutimes.com — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:34:36 PST

It's your first ceremonial appearance since the New York Times definitively crushed your political career. You're the laughingstock of the state and weighing whether to resign. Perfect moment to pose in front of Paris Hilton and a belching dog!

The embattled New York governor cut the ribbon at a chain restaurant with a silly mural at Kennedy Airport at rush hour on Friday, to the confused horror of all present. "I'm so happy that you've joined me to see how hard I work," he joked. The only explanation I can come up with for this most confusing photo op: Palm Bar and Grille is going to offer him a job as soon as he loses the one he has in Albany. If not at some sleazy corporate level, flipping burgers, perhaps. [NYDN]

The Week We Declined to Run [Week In Review]

lovelwh@stutimes.com — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 05:51:19 PST

Merry Oscar Weekend! Your usual compendium of death and sex and television is below.

We are really upset with Jerry Seinfeld. Julia Mancuso's fans do not think highly of Lindsey Vonn. We do not think highly of Brighton Beach Memoirs: The Reality Television Show. We are also dissatisfied with the class of political candidate New York is attracting this year.

Columbia invited The National Enquirer to sully the name of journalism. Apple put their foot down: their child laborers must be at least 16 and they must have at least one day off during their 60-hour work weeks. We're hoping crazy Alec Baldwin saves the Oscars. You should save a writer by sending him $20,000. Then you should buy Rush Limbaugh's tacky house.

Honestly, wouldn't you rather go to a movie than a war zone? Roger Ailes is a secret anti-American liberal traitor, so he would not be there in the first place.

Some Scientologists made a funny video with stolen movie clips. We joined the Kombucha Tea Party. Alaskan Anger Bear Sarah Palin had a little sitdown with Jay Leno about how to leave a high-profile job with grace. We should give her her own TV show of lies and jokes and such. San Diego erupted in a college race war.

Roger Ebert on Oprah made us want to laugh, cry. As did this Craigslist ad. And Courtney Love's Verified Twitter status.

We explained why we hate Wal-Mart.

For a while, Mort Zuckerman was going to run for Senate, so we explained who he is. Facebook sent some stuff to people it shouldn't have sent stuff to and we posted it. Harvey Weinstein has lost his touch. His touch of death and fear. Now it is time for someone who works for him to write a mean book, probably.

Some scammers insisted that their latest scam was not a scam. We will help you win your Oscar pool!

LOLcats are created in sweatshops. Larry King flew commercial. A crazy person shot up the Pentagon. Brian Ross had a Mr. Toad-esque Wild Ride.

Kari Ferrell was here for some fucking reason.

Getting killed by an Orca is pretty gruesome.

TV shows were watched: Big Love, American Idol's boys and girls. And Real Housewives of New York!

Salty Sea Dog Congressman to Resign Monday, Is Sorry for Making Everyone Uncomfortable [Resignations]

lovelwh@stutimes.com — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:17:23 PST

Representative Eric Massa (D-NY) is being investigated by the House Ethics Committee for sexual harassment of a male staffer and also his cancer came back. So he's resigning effective Monday. His statement is... worth a read.

Massa says he didn't know about the Ethics investigation until he read about it on the internet. He also takes responsibility for what he characterizes as language that made a staffer "uncomfortable." And then his explanation gets kind weird.

I own this reality. There is no doubt in my mind that I did in fact, use language in the privacy of my own home and in my inner office that, after 24 years in the Navy, might make a Chief Petty Officer feel uncomfortable. In fact, there is no doubt that this Ethics issue is my fault and mine alone. But in the incredibly toxic atmosphere that is Washington D.C., with the destruction of our elected leaders having become a blood sport, especially in talk radio and on the internet, there is also no doubt that an Ethics investigation would tear my family and my staff apart. Some would say that this is what happens when you stand apart from political parties, which I have done. Others will say that this is what happens to a non politician when they go to Washington DC. I want to make something perfectly clear. My difficulties are of my own making. Period. I am also aware that blogs and radio will have a field day with this in today's destructive and unforgiving political environment. In that investigators would be free to ask anything about me going back to my birth, I simply cannot rise to that level of perfection. God knows that I am a deeply flawed and imperfect person.

During long car rides, in the early hours of the evening, late at night and always in private, I know that my own language failed to meet the standards that I set for all around me and myself. I fell short and I believe now, as I have always believed, that it is not enough to simply talk the talk, but rather I must take action to hold myself accountable.

So. It's quite a 2010 we're having, right?
