WHITNEY HOUSTON’S FAMILY IS ACCUSING ONE ANOTHER OF LEAKING DEATH PHOTOS
Filed Under: Betrayal > Death > National Enquirer > Photos > Whitney Houston
The worst nightmare of Whitney Houston’s family has come true. A photo of her in her open casket is on the cover of The Enquirer. (Why the family didn’t have a closed casket after the hotel photos leaked is a mystery to us, but…) Of course this appalling photo raises the question of WHO DID IT? Who betrayed the grieving family and sold this photo? Everyone is pointing a finger at each other, but let’s consider the facts. It’s most likely someone rather hard up for money. Whitney’s questionable brother? We doubt if the culprit is actually family. We deduce that an entourage member who is suddenly completely jobless and without resources, is guilty. We wonder if this cover will sell like Elvis did…

CAN YOU IMAGINE THE OSCARS WITHOUT SACHA BARON COHEN?
Filed Under: Banned > Oscars > Sacha Baron Cohen > The Dictator
We are SO upset to hear that Sacha Baron Cohen has been banned from the Oscars! According to Deadline.com, Cohen was expected to attend with the cast of his movie Hugo but the Academy has pulled his tickets even though he’s an Academy member! The reason is that Cohen submitted a proposal to the Academy that he walk the red carpet in full costume as his title character in The Dictator, with the intention of donning a tuxedo after that for the show. The straitlaced Academy didn’t just TURN DOWN the idea, they banned him altogether. Must this dull award show be taken so SERIOUSLY?

Corey Feldman picked up a pizza to go at Mulberry Street Pizzeria in Beverly Hills and was quite friendly when he was stopped by a street magician and asked to pick a card. Corey happily chatted with fans despite the fact that his pie cooled off. He was recently bumped off the UK show “Dancing On Ice” when Charlene Tilton outskated him, but the viewers made fun of the long strand of hair he’s been cultivating that hangs in his face. He may or may not, have finally cut it off.

EVEN OSCAR NOMINATED MOVIES LACK IMPORTANT FEMALE CHARACTERS

And now, something for our feminist readers…have you heard of The Bechdel Test for Women in Movies? This video test examines the 2011 Oscar nominated movies to see how they measure up in regard to women’s representation in film. It’s quite startling how far women have NOT come in regard to relevance in films in spite of the fact that they make up way more than half of the movie-going audience. The intro in the video is a bit tedious but hang in there – the results are disturbing.
