A Walk Down Memory Lane

Here are three videos that I had loved for a long time, courtesy of Youtube. The first is the legendary "Whistle goes Woo Woo" with Bubb Rubb and Lil' Sis (my favorite part is Bubb Rubb driving his car). The second is the rap music video "Read a Book," which despite being a parody of hip-hop gangsta culture is insanely catchy. The third is my favorite Baby Laugh, which I have bookmarked. I hope these videos brighten your weekend!

This Is A Real Show

About to Burst

This is Idris Elba. He is the star of the now-ended show The Wire from HBO, has been in recent movies by Tyler Perry (which I hear are successful) and headlined with Beyonce in the movie Obsessed and was featured prominently in Rock n Rolla by Guy Ritchie. And he might be the sexiest man on the planet.

A. He's seven feet tall (actually 6'2" according to imdb, but really, he's huge)

B. He's British, lives in Atlanta, and is a successful DJ who has produced songs by Jay-Z and has his own EP out. His DJ name? DJ Big Driis.

C. He is one of the top three most captivating performers on The Wire- and those are some crazy f****** characters.

D. Did I mention he's gorgeous?

I think he's probably going to explode in the next few years and I wanted to share these beautiful pictures. Please, enjoy.

A New Trend?

Men looking like crap. Joaquin (right) did it for real, Ben Stiller (left) took it and ran with it for laughs, and it appears Philip Seymour Hoffman (below) has perfected it. Really? A beanie at the Oscars? Why did you show up?

My Favorites of the Night

SJP's inflat-o boobs.

The gorgeous and hilarious Leslie Mann, with husband Judd Apatow.

The detail on Pene's dress.

Tina Fey! (And boobs)

Philippe Petit, working hard for the money.

Mickey Rourke's lovely Loki choker.

Robert Downey, Jr. sure cleans up well.

Taraji's beautiful necklace.

Last, but not least, the Slumdog Kids!

Worst Dressed, Part Two

Beyonce, terrorizing my dreams once more by wearing this lovely comforter from TJ Maxx.

Vanessa Hudgens, shouldn't be there, shouldn't be wearing that dress or that smug smile.

Miley Cyrus, who knows she should definitely be there and is proving it by wearing a dress that not even a blind man could miss.

Heidi Klum, flattening her enviable figure and trying to look from the neck up like an albino raccoon serial killer.

Reese Witherspoon trying to be "edgy".

Oh, Whoopi. I can't complain. You're wearing cheetah to the Oscars.

Goldie Hawn, giving the female viewers a Public Service Announcement to always use sunscreen and wear a bra (once you're over fifty).

Worst Dressed, Part One

As a genius said to me on Oscar night, Jessica Biel's boob exploded, and the result is this dress.

Amy Adams: It's a shame she wore that beaded pebble sheath on her neck and her dress got stuck between her boobs (I'm getting word it was meant to look like that... ouch), because she's extremely talented and beautiful.

Kate Winslet: Dress- meh, Hair: Please leave the mullet at home next Oscar.

It's a good thing that Tilda Swinton is fierce as hell, because this bag "dress" on any other would be the death of that actress's career.

Michael Shannon and his hair do a hippie-fied version of Joaquin Phoenix.

Amanda Seyfried: Is that a bow on your hip or are you just happy to see me? (A new personal low for me).

Lisa Rinna, taking the only trend from the eighties not to haunt my nightmares as of yet (big hair) and combining it with the sex appeal of a soccer mom high on Botox.

The Best Dressed, Part Two

Yes. You can't tell, but that dress shimmered like the star she is under the lights in the theater.

Melissa Leo, totally beautiful and age-appropriate.

Penelope Cruz, my favorite of the evening, in a dress that had such detail it belonged in a museum.

Melissa George, once again representing Alias to stunning perfection.

Evan Rachel Wood, understated and elegant.

SJP doing her best belted princess, with cleavage that came out of nowhere.

The Goddess we know as Sophia Loren, gracing the world with her presence. (She's 75).

The Best Dressed, Part One

Marion Cotillard, passing the Best Actress trophy on with more style than her successor.

Marisa Tomei, a HUGE improvement.

Natalie Portman, making bubble gum fashionable.

Freida Pinto (in stunning blue John Galliano- I will find a better picture later) with Dev Patel. Man, they look great together (the understatement of the year).

Taraji P. Henson in (I called it) the best necklace of the night.

Meryl Streep, pwning her fellow nominees.

They really turned it up for the Big Dance, three cheers for Angie showing some gorgeous skin and Brad switching up his mustache for a goatee.
