This Week in Pop Culture 2/28

Happy Thursday everyone!!

I’m so excited to announce that lots happened in Hollywood this week.

Break – ups, a marriage, and of course…The Oscars!

Let’s talk about it.

Michelle Williams and Jason Segal break up

Let’s just get the saddest news out of the way…Michelle and Jason have broken up.  I’m so sad to hear this…they looked like such a great couple!!  Apparently the distance got the better of them.  I’m holding out for a reconciliation.

Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen split

I have to say that I’m strangely happy about this break-up.  Because every time I saw them together I wondered, “why is Allie from the Notebook holding hands with the Volturi?”.

Christina Applegate Secret Wedding

Apparently Christina spent Saturday (Oscars Eve) getting married to longtime boyfriend and Porno for Pyros rocker Martyn LeNoble.  The two have been engaged for 3 years and had a low key wedding.  I wish them both a long and happy marriage!!

NOW….

Can we talk about the Oscars, pretty please?

jenFirst off, Ben and Jen.

I’m so so happy that they were finally King and Queen of the Oscars.  I am SO over Brad and Angie…these two are so much cuter and “real”.  I can’t wait to see what movie Ben comes out with next!!

Also, please don’t ever divorce.  I will truly lose my faith in humanity.

Also, Jennifer Lawrence.

Will you be my best friend?  Can we hang out?  Is this creepy right now?

And hello, Silver Linings Playbook.  Amazing.  I want to watch it fifty times and laugh maniacally over a bowl of Raisin Bran.

anneAnne?

Are you cold?

That is all.

charlizeStunning.

Love.  But I would’ve preferred an updo.

Love her too.

So so pretty.

Obviously, I could go on and on…but I want to hear your thoughts on the Oscars!!  Who wore your favorite dress?

What did you think of the host Seth McFarlane?  Too much or just right?

 

No movies of note premiering this weekend…(BOO).  I’m ready for OZ!!

 

Have a happy weekend!!

    Poor Anne! Why didn’t anyone give her band aids? Where was her stylist? WHy didn’t her hubby say, “umm, babe? Yeah, can you turn the headlights off? Your high beams are on.” Jennifer Lawrence was stunning and I’m so with you–I wanna be her BFF too! She seems so fun! She met John Stamos at a party and kept calling him Uncle Jessie! How cool is she!

    Seth was perfect. I’m a fan of his anyway. I thought he was really funny. If given the chance, I do think he’ll do better next year. My only complaint? That my husband and three sons haven’t stopped singing, “we saw your boobs” LOL!

    Poor Anne, is right! Who puts darts on the boobs, designers??? Really. That just accentuated her chilliness. Love Jennifer Lawrence. That dress was amazing. She is adorable.
    Jen and Ben are my favorite hollywood couple. Their kids are adorable. They seem normal, even though they are freaking filthy rich actors. They seem to really love one another, support one another, etc. She was so proud of him at all the awards shows this year (as always). Love them.
    Seth did fine, in my opinion. I’d give him another shot.

    I thought Anne’s dress was horrible. Darts aside, it just semmed a little too Junior Prom for such an important event, and one in which she knew she would win. Very disappointed in her choice. I like her, but I’m also looking forward to her breathy-sticky-sweetness to go away for a little bit.

    Jen and Ben are awesome. The other Jen, Aniston that is, not a fan. But at least she didn’t wear black. Seth did just fine. No one will ever be perfect, and if people are shocked over the “picking on the actors” stuff – HELLO? It happens at every single awards show, it’s not going away.

    I wish the show was 2 hours long, with just the 4 acting awards, movie, director and best song, with the songs all being performed. Everything else is just boring and no one really cares. You know you don’t.

      I totally agree with you. Two hour official TV Oscar program. Then. Lots of model the dress, watch everyone drink too much and flirt with anyone but their spouses. Meanwhile hidden camera roves the different “after” parties giving us a backstage pass to see things like Jack Nicholson drooling over Jennifer Lawrence . Sooo funny. How old is Jack?

    So I have to say I enjoyed the Oscars except I don’t really get all the obsession over Silver Linings Playbook. To me it is just another romantic comedy albeit a little bit dark. I’m not sure it deserved to be put up on the same pedestal as movies like Lincoln and Argo. I also don’t get all the fuss over Jennifer Lawrence. Don’t get me wrong, she is beautiful, funny, and seems really sweet from everything I’ve seen of her, but I thought it was a bit of an upset for her to win Best Actress. She’s really only been in two or three notable movies and I think everyone is just still obsessed with her being the Hunger Games star. That being said, I’m not sure which other nominee should have gotten that award instead. I really though Naomi Watts did an awesome job in The Impossible.

      I just need to say–Have you seen Winters Bone–omg she deserved it for that!–I thought her role as Katniss was so/so but I LOVED her role in silver linings–I also loved Argo and Django
      Lincoln ehhh not so much it was so monotone…. So glad one of my favorites won :)

    Loved Charlize Theron’s dress and hair!! Also loved Sandra Bullock and Sally Field’s looks! Anne Hathaway and Amy Adams need to sack their stylists, really what were they thinking?! Amy turned up looking like a grey loo-roll lady and Anne looked like she’d jumped straight out of ‘never been kissed’. Sorry ladies!

    I thought Peter Brady – er, Seth MacFarlane was lame. I don’t watch a lot of TV so it took me awhile to even figure out who the heck he is. I also thought it was the year of dishevel (perhaps lint rollers and combs at the place settings next year?), ill-placed beards a’la George Clooney (looked like an Amish town hall meeting in there), and apparently illegal substances (Renee Zelwegger & that girl from Twilight apparently were hitting off the same back-stage bong). And, frankly, I’m sick of hearing about how fat Adele is. I don’t care if she weighs a metric ton and has to be brought out to the mic with a forklift. The girl is spectacular.

    I do love me some Oscars though.

Speak Your Mind
