    Cheryl is a sore sport(s illustrated cover girl).
    Love Downton Tabby!
    Thanks for the Oscar heads up.

  2. Zozo says:

    Yay! So happy you guys are working through the weekend for the Oscars, I will definitely be checking up!

  3. Lisa says:

    Did JLH have plastic surgery, because her face looks different. Oh, and there should be a click at your own peril warning on the Lohan link.

  4. eileen says:

    Those pics of Linday! O_o That was the stuff nightmares are made of.

  5. Jordan says:

    I have never seen a Sasha Cohen movie, I know I’m a minority, but by the time the movies come out, I’m so tired of his character.

    • layla says:

      Im with you on this….. I too have never seen on eof his movies for that very exact reason.

    • Bobby the K says:

      I’ve never seen his movies either. Internet clips are enough for me to know he isn’t funny, seems lost without props and costumes.

      He also comes across as a colossal jerk cough. Whoring himself for free publicity and acting like a victim.

    • whatthehell456 says:

      I’m sorry, but if none of you have ever seen any of his movies then I don’t think any of you are the best people to be commenting on whether or not the man is funny. I however, have seen all his movies and I find him to be very original and very funny. You really shouldn’t comment until you have the information in which to form an educated opinion.

      • Coucou says:

        I TOTALLY AGREE WTH456, i, too, have seen all of his films and was very surprised, so i understand why the other commenters are saying that…he is genius, eccentric, and his schtick goes much farther than the naked eye or mind can detect. Love him!

  6. BNF says:

    did Lindsay Lohan get a nose job!? Her nose looks different. But she still looks way scary….

    • janie says:

      I don’t think so. I think it’s collapsing from too much cocaine. It definitely doesn’t look better.

  7. the original bellaluna says:

    Oh, I think I love this TX judge!

    Blohan looks awful, as usual. (But I LOVED the link to the 72-year-old La Liz!)

    Never seen a Sacha movie either, Jordan.

    Oscar weekend! The cracknanigans at the Chateau should be EPIC!

  8. QQ says:

    Idk ya’ll… I heard Sasha’s pointless interview with Al Quintanilla and humorless blind tone deaf professional mmmm hmmer Ann Curry on the Today Show and it felt Icky, painful, unfunny and ive gotta wonder who vetoed this when daily this same show and network stays talking about current dictators real-life-not-for-funnies-Killing people in Arab countries to as Sasha put it “avoid democracy” this movie shoulda at least been pushed back, at best NOT get made, cause is kimd of a gross situation

    Al didn’t know what to ask and Ann was trying her verklempt funny akward shit, it was painful, no one knew what to ask to the phoneline

  9. taylor says:

    I’m ambivalent about Sasha Cohen–I don’t really like his characters, but I admire his commitment to his work. That said, this bit was really funny.

  10. Aiobhan says:

    Oh Sacha! I have missed him so much! Bruno is a very underrated film.

    I also liked Kate Beckinsale but the more than I read comments about her the more I am starting to see that she does look like a pageant princess. Not as bad as Beyonce but still annoying.

    From cute girl to old tranny in less then five years. Megan effed up her face bad. ughh

    I love all three ladies in white at the Essence awards. Viola’s shows are a no no.

  11. Lantana says:

    I saw dictator-guy on the Today Show this morning. So. Not. Funny. Ann Curry and the guy subbing for Matt Lauer just laughed and laughed like the guy was hilarious. Don’t get it.

    • QQ says:

      I JUST said that too! Wasn’t it awful?! Just the akwardness the wrongness? The having a phone convo with a guy doing a voice of a rather not-great-at-this-moment character and Ann trying to curb the whole thing?

  12. sarah says:

    I’m joining the “I’ve never seen Sacha’s movies” club too.

    And Megan Fox was SOO pretty. She should’ve never had surgery.

  13. jen says:

    Who’s going to play Lindsay Lohan’s Richard Burton? Pete Doherty?

  14. yoyo says:

    I can not wait to see SBC’s new movie it’s going to be a heap of ridiculousness and yeah it’s funny but mostly it’s biting satire. Good stuff, the guy is fearless, he’s going to get into trouble one of these days.

  15. Orange Cone says:

    OHMYGOD. LMAO @laineygossip

    Agreed, wtf?- OMG. Lindsay Lohan. OMG. WTF? OMG.

    Kaiser, I know I dont have to ask, but Yes, please cover JLo and Casper- you truly crack me up with that ish!

  16. Ally says:

    Since Bruno was a total flop, I guess Sacha is now just a guy whose jokes against foreigners (they’re dumb! they’re monsters!) would go over well at a Republican fundraiser.

    Seriously, this kind of prejudice-based humor died a deserved death 20 years ago.

  17. Adrien says:

    Borat is funny. I cringe at some scenes but overall it’s funny. Bruno, otoh, isn’t. It’s just offensive. The last part where respected musicians like Bono, Snoop, etc. sang with him “We Are the World” style felt forced.
    ALi G. is his best character. Yes, that character was racist and crass but he asked intelligent questions.

  18. Lindy says:

    I cannot stand Sacha Baron Cohen. Not even the tiniest littlest bit. Gimmicky and unoriginal. People slam Gaga for being gimmicky and unoriginal, but she is a freaking genius of creativity compared to this clown. And he cannot, cannot act in real movies or shows. He totally ruined the otherwise charming Hugo movie earlier this year.

  19. WOM says:

    The clip of Sacha Baron Cohen is on par with an SNL skit that airs AFTER “Weekend Update.” Translation: unoriginal and you can see the jokes coming a mile away.

  20. normades says:

    Anyone watch les Ceasares last night? DuJardin didn’t win for best actor and was totes dissed by MH in his speach.

    • normades says:

      Sorry spelling “Césares”. The Artist won best pic/music/actress/director.

      Omar Sy won best actor. First black French actor to win any major acting award.

  21. the cheetah says:

    I liked borat but not bruno which was too gross. I’m on the fence Bout the dictator though id probably watch it on netflix if it was available.

  22. Joey says:

    Hes is a real funny dude loved borat Bruno was ok but his next movie looks really funny so all u people he is hilarious
