- Michael Jackson’s doctor allegedly hid a bunch of drugs before dialing 9-1-1. This is news? Isn’t that the first thing we all do before dialing 9-1-1?
- Chris Evans, the actor who played Human Torch in the Fantastic Four movies, has signed a deal to play Captain America. The studio jumped at the opportunity to hire Evans, figuring that they wouldn’t have to put in much effort to make this not the most worthless superhero franchise he’s ever starred in.
- Stephen Sondheim will be honored by having a Broadway theater named after him. The first show in the Stephen Sondheim Theater? Another Chicago remake starring Kirstie Alley and TBA Idol Castoff.

While You Were Watching Your VHS Copy Of The Lost Boys You Taped Off Cable
- Fox has pushed back the release of the Oliver Stone and Shia LeBeouf joint Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps from April to September. They are also changing the name to Wall Street: Money Sits On Its Lazy Ass All Summer Playing X-Box.
- Bravo announced a new series “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” the fifth now in the franchise. At the rate they’re going, Bravo should have a “Real Housewives” series in every town in America by this November.
- Lindsay Lohan is pushing forward with her lawsuit against E-Trade for their “Lindsay the Milkoholic Baby” ad, insisting it was based on her. You laugh now, but one day our kids will be all too familiar with the landmark Supreme Court Case of “Lohan v. Logic.”
- Mario Lopez and his girlfriend are having a baby. If he doesn’t name it Slater (boy or girl) there’s going to be some problems.

While You Were Queen Of The World
- Kathryn Bigelow won Best Director at the Oscars and her film The Hurt Locker took Best Picture. As per the new Academy rules, however, she has to let James Cameron lick both statues.
- Despite lasting over three hours last night, the Oscars had to cut the traditional number of Hitler jokes down to just two.
- Christoph Waltz won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in Inglourious Basterds. If history has its way, he should be starring in the Boat Trip sequel by this time next year.
- At the Vanity Fair Oscar Party last night, Jennifer Aniston was spotted making out with one of the prawns from District 9. She’ll never learn, that one.
- In one of the biggest snubs of the night, Fisher Stevens, producer of the winning documentary The Cove, forgot to thank his Short Circuit costar Johnny 5. It was sooo awkward.
- Tim Burton‘s Alice In Wonderland made $116,000,000 this weekend, making it a shoo-in to lose to The Hurt Locker 2: Locked N’ Loaded next year.

While You Were Welcoming Back Not Tape-Delayed Giant Slalom
- Sandra Bullock joked that if Meryl Streep wins, “I’m gonna beat the sh** out of her!” Funny, I almost said the exact same thing when I saw that a certain movie was nominated for Best Picture.
- Sean Penn essentially wished “rectal cancer” on his critics. Not because he wants them to die, but so he can study their suffering in obsessively painstaking detail for an upcoming Oscar-baiting role.
- Gerard Butler says he’s ready to settle down “in another 25 to 30 years.” And by ‘settle down,’ of course, he means “be as much like Peter O’Toole as I can.”
- Here’s your Alice In Wonderland primer, in case the movie’s already confusing the hell out of you before you’ve decided to go see it.
- Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart welcomed a new baby girl. I think it’s been about nine months since a certain popular online video…

While You Were Excited For The Return Of That Decent Hour Of NBC Programming
- Lil’ Wayne will begin his jail term today after a brief postponement to have dental surgery. Maybe I’ve seen too many cartoons, but I’m guessing the dentist was his mom in a mustache and I’d check his teeth for a file.
- Jake proposed to Vienna in the season finale of The Bachelor. Was that the girl he murdered or whatever? I’ve only been loosely following the season through magazine covers.
- O.J. Simpson donated his acquittal suit to the Smithsonian, though a spokesperson for the museum says they’re unlikely to accept it. When they attempted to break this news to Simpson, he was in the process of stealing it back.
- More than three million Cablevision subscribers in the New York metro area may miss this weekend’s Oscar telecast if the provider fails to reach an agreement with a local ABC affiliate. Fortunately, with the new nomination rules and it being the Oscars and all, they still have until about 12 noon next Tuesday before Best Picture is announced.
- And finally, Robert Pattinson is indeed quite bothered.

While You Were Letting The Canadians Win Cause You Felt Bad
- The Canadian hockey team beat the United States 3-2 in overtime to win the gold medal in the final event of the 2010 Olympics. Bastards… wanna go double or nothing on March tourism revenue?
- As for the final medal count, the US led the way with 37 medals, 7 more than Germany, but Canada managed 14 golds to the US’s 9. But the real winner here is Norway, because, c’mon, they’re Norway. Way to go Norway!
- In non-Olympic news, Snooki and Vinny from Jersey Shore are both fine after glass fell from the ceiling at a party and landed close to them. Vinny immediately struck back by sleeping with the glass’s girlfriend.

- Roger Ebert has been given a computerized “voice” by a Scottish tech company, which he’ll debut on Oprah this week. Said Michael Bay, “Awww, crap.”

- Simon Cowell also reportedly got engaged. However, in five years he can opt out and be replaced in the marriage by Howard Stern.
- Two and a Half Men star Jon Cryer was allegedly the target of a hit from his ex-wife. Charlie Sheen isn’t looking so dysfunctional now, is he?
