| Here's all you need to know about last night's Grammy awards: U2 put the beat-down on Mariah Carey and Kanye West by winning five awards, including both the Album of the Year (for How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb) and the Song of the Year (for Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own); Terri Hatcher's dress was ... uhm ... yeah; Sly Stone performed publicly for the first time in over twelve years and was phenomenal, though brief; fellow recluse Dave Chapelle introduced Mr. Stone; Kelly Clarkson won her first and second Grammy awards (for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance) and completely dissed American Idol, though she thanked everyone else, including Jesus and her mom; Senator Barack Obama and movie director Martin Scorsese both won Grammys; an Italian, Laura Pausini, won the award for Best Latin Pop Album; and the Grammy voters continue to rue the day that Jethro Tull won the award for Best Metal Album (and congratulations to Slipknot for winning that award this year). Mariah Carey had the most nominations of any artist this year -- she was nominated eight times. She earned three awards in the pre-telecast ceremony and was completely shut out during the televised portion. Honestly, we couldn't be happier. U2 earned it's 20th Grammy last night on the backs of How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. For those of you keeping score at home, this was the same release that garnered three Grammys for U2 last year. We're still figuring that out, though we're very, VERY, happy about it. And, no, we still don't understand the difference between the Album of the Year award and the Record of the Year Award, though we're immensely happy Green Day was recognized alongside U2. |

Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley both pose nude (yes, NUDE!) on the cover of Vanity Fair's annual Hollywood issue. A tastefully dressed fashionista Tom Ford appears along with them. Photographer Annie Leibovitz conducted the photoshoot, which insiders say produced "amazing results." We look forward to watching Vanity Fair dominate magazine sales next month over Maxim and the annual swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated. Ford stated that the only reason he joined the two starlets was that Rachel McAdams backed out of the deal at the last minute. Are you paying attention, Oscar voters? In unrelated news, fellow Oscar nominees Heath Ledger and Philip Seymour Hoffman are negotiating to appear nude on the cover of The Atlantic Monthly, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice will appear nude on the cover of Foreign Affairs, and Craig Ferguson has agreed to appear nude on the cover of BBC America Monthly. |
| Billionaire investor Warren Buffet can add another title to his resume -- cartoon hero. The head of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. and Nebraska resident has agreed to star in a children's animated series titled "The Secret Millionaire's Club" produced by DIC Entertainment. The show will feature Buffet's voice and likeness, and he will dispense financial management wisdom to the middle school crowd. The direct-to-DVD series concerns a few youngsters who raise funds to save their local youth center from destruction and become millionaires in the process. Personally, we'll be watching something more realistic, like re-runs of Super Friends, but we still wish all the best to Mr. Buffet ... particularly if he ever decides to invest in a website devoted to the analysis of the film industry, including reviews, commentary, previews, and box office analysis. |

"There was nothing wrong with it... until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys."
