“…there’s no way I’m putting anyone through that again.”

Oscars 2012: the best moments in photos
THE 84th Oscars wer a terrific show. Silence as an golden as the statuette as The Artist was named best film at the Oscars. Jean Dujardin became the first Frenchman to win an Academy Award for acting. Michel Hazanavicius, thanks three people for his best picture award for the same film: “Billy Wilder, Billy Wilder and Billy Wilder.” Nicholas Sarkozy, the French president, did as all politics must and thrust himself into the limelight saying the The Artist has made “French cinema proud”. Meryl Streep scored her second Osar form 17 nominations for playing Lady Thatcher in The Iron Lady. Sacha Baron Cohen hogged the limelight, turning the AGM for the Hollywood film industry into a promotion for his new film by spilling Kim Jong-il’s ashes over the red carpet – but not Halle’s Berry’s chest (again). Another landmark was scored by Christopher Plummer, who at 82 became the oldest actor to win an Oscar, for his performance in The Beginners. Octavia Spencer for getting a gong for her role as the pastry chef in The Help, offering: “I’m freaking out … I’m sorry, I love you … I’m sorry, I love you.” Which might explain why the best actors work with the best scripts…

Katie Price and Arabella Weir – the rich and connected love the State school zoo
KATIE Price tells Sun readers in her new column – title: Kids need love…not posh school” – that her kidzzzzz Peter Andre Junior and Princess TenaLadyMee (aka Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball – the growing pains years) go to state school and: “I don’t spoil my kids because I don’t them them to be different.”
Begging the question: So. Why do you spoil your kids, then?
Are these the same children seen with Katie and husband Peter in OK! photoshoots, who feature in public rows between the divorced parents, and who star in fly-in-the Touche Eclat reality TV shows? Is media exposure the norm?
This is Katie Price who told us:
I’m not really a big spender. My cars cost money and my horses cost money, but I don’t go and buy designer clothes every day of the week. I’d rather buy a nice horse than waste it on an outfit. I spend a lot on my kids, but myself? Not really.

Katie Price: Home video porn queen Vs Sun on Sunday family values opinionist?
THE hiring of Katie Price (aka Jordan) as a Sun columnist for its new Sunday edition is a brilliant coup. Though she appears to pen nothing with her actual acrylic-nailed digits, her flow of verbal expression on sundry topics will be ably captured by a team of showbiz scribes hacking their way through the scrub of Know-What-I-Means.
Her ascension to the commentariat does, however, throw into sharp relief Tabloid Reality (TR) and Internet Reality (IR). TR depicts Katie as a transformed celebrity: once a mindless, selfish glamour model who rode horses, she is now a thoughtful, engaged observer of the passing scene. Who still rides horses. IR accommodates this vision via Google and other search engines. But it also embraces Katie, star of a porn home video, with well-endowed stubbly music person Dane Bowers, which is still freely accessible.

Chris Brown slurs Christal Spann before stealing her phone?
TEAM BREEZY may be willing to defend Chris Brown against almost anything, but surely the rest of the known universe is getting tired of him already? First he beat Rihanna up, then he released a load of dreadful RnB, then he played the victim because everyone wanted to bring the whole domestic violence thing up and then, astonishingly, he won a Grammy and started collaborating with Rihanna again using the wifebeater thing as a promotional backdrop and got involved in a row with a WWE wrestler.
And now, because he still seems to be an angry dimwit, he’s allegedly stolen someone’s phone and called them a bitch.
Yessir, according to reports, Brown has gone mental at a lady called Christal Spann. Apparently, the singer stole Spann’s phone outside a nightclub in Miami.

It’s a steal: Whitney Houston’s stuff up for sale
WHITNEY Houston’s coffin had barely touched the ground when celebrity auctioneer Darren Julien announced that her belongings would be sold off to the highest bidders. Already next month, Houston fans and celeb memorabilia collectors will be able to lay their hands on a vest and faux-pearl earrings worn by the late singer in The Bodyguard, as well as a floor-length, black velvet dress that belonged to her.
The items will be included in the “Hollywood Legends” auction on 31 March and 1 April at Julien’s Auctions gallery in Beverly Hills, California. The auction was scheduled long before Houston’s tragic death at the Beverly Hilton hotel on 11 February at the age of 48. But her items were only included after she passed away.
Was it in bad taste to rush these Houston-touched items into the auction, just a day after her funeral? Julien doesn’t think so. “It’s a celebration of her life”, he told the AFP. “If you hide these things in fear that you’re going to offend someone – her life is to be celebrated. These items are historic now that she passed. They become a part of history. They should be in museums. She’s lived a life and had a career that nobody else has ever had.”

Sacha Baron Cohen banned from Oscars – Dictators gotta dictate
CONGRATULATIONS to Sacha Baron Cohen for getting barred from the Oscars. The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has revoked Sacha Baron Cohen‘s invite. What has the Academy member and Hugo star done to offend?
Well, he wanted to rock up dressed as the eponymous star of his new firm The Dictator. The Academy don’t like the promotion. It’s an AGM not an entertainment show. So he’s banned.
An Oscars spokesperson tells Deadline Hollywood:
”We would hope that every studio knows that this is a bad idea. The Red Carpet is not about stunting.” Oh really? Then why did Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park crossdress down the Red Carpet as J-Lo and Gwyneth Paltrow in evening gowns in 2000? Or Ben Stiller appear as an Oscar presenter in full blue Avatar makeup and hair in 2010?

Whitney Houston murdered Dolly Parton – don’t believe the hype
HOW good a signer was Whitney Houston? Julian Owen looks at her rendition of Dolly Parton’s I Will Always Love You. Parton’s song was a farewell to a business relationship with the Porter Wagoner Show, which had given her a big break in 1967. In 1973, she said goodbye. In 1982, Dolly sang it again on the soundtrack to The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. And then Houston got hold of it. The song went big. Very big. But did Houston get it?

Victoria Newton’s Sun on Sunday – a sneak peak
NEWS is that Victoria Newton has been working on the Sun on Sunday. The blog Vicky Watch may yet come back to life to cover some of those awesome scoops. Vicky was, of course, replaced by Gordon Smart’s Bizarre. Here’s a few Vicky gems:
“EXCLUSIVE. VICTORIA BECKHAM has revealed why she cut her hair off — so she can have more SEX with hubby DAVID. She giggled: “David prefers my hair short. With hair extensions you can be in the midst of passion and one flies out.”
Exclusive? How does that work when Victoria Beckham said virtually the same thing on GMTV nearly 2 months ago?

WWE Wrestler versus Chris Brown – The Rihanna Smack Down
WHEN men hear about a woman getting beaten up by their spouse, it isn’t uncommon for them to say things like ‘violence is wrong’, before outwardly wishing to beat the living hell out of the man that did it. This is the world we live in. Violence is bad and should be met with, well, violence.
However, it is unusual for two celebrities to have violence foreplay. And that’s exactly what is happening with WWE wrestler CM Punk and he’s challenging Chris Brown for beating Rihanna up. In CM Punk’s world, women are to be “revered”, unless you count the dolly bird wrestlers who frequently WWE.
Either way, CM Punk has challenged Brown and wants to make him feel “weak” and defenceless, just like Rihanna presumably did when Breezy was repeatedly punching her on the way to the Grammies 3 years ago.

Britney Spears to lose her bap on X Factor panel?
JUST when Simon Cowell had got rid of one insane, glassy-eyed mentalist in the shape of Paula Abdul, he’s got another one making the drunken come-on eye at him. That’s right – Britney Spears thinks the best way to put all those troubles behind her, is to take on the job of judge on the X Factor, where you have to make people cry and perform like monkeys for you.
That’ll end well, won’t it?
Cowell needs to replace Abdul and fired Nicole Scherzinger and Britney is in the running along with Janet Jackson, Pink and Mariah Carey.
A friend of Spears said:
“She’s a huge fan of ‘The X Factor’ and thinks it’s the perfect time for her to be a judge. She wants to show her fans she is back to her best and where better to do that than on national TV every week?”

Frank Carson RIP – a life in photos and Tiswas
FRANK Carson RIP. You were the funniest thing to come out of Belfast since the man who dubbed Gerry Adams’ voice on the BBC. “It’s the way I tell ’em,” and “It’s a cracker!” Those were your catchphrases. Said Carson’s friend Eddie McIlwaine: “He met the present Pope (Benedict XVI) and the Pope said ‘Did you ever meet Elvis Presley?’ Frank said ‘No, I have not, but it won’t be long now’.”

Will Capital Radio drop One Direction after Brits gaffe?
WHEN One Direction won a Best British Single at the Brit awards, we wondered who the hell made that decision and how we could have been so wrong? Harry Styles did his best to clear things up by giving a “massive thank you to Radio 1” for making is happen. Only, the gong was awarded by Capital FM listeners and iTunes users.
An industry source tells the Guardian:
“One Direction as far as Capital are concerned are only going in one direction.”

Stars squat on Adele’s finger – all the finger news you can handle
ADELE’S finger is occupying bright minds. Adele has more talent in the end of her raised middle finger than Paul Ross has in an entire hand.
The Daily Mirror leads with the existential question:
“Who’s to blame for the finger?”
This is a Mirror “exclusive”.
It’s one day after the paper’s James Robertson wrote:
After Adele’s acceptance speech was cut off, the world basically went nuts. James Robertson finds the whole situation ‘baffling’
One day on the Mirror’s Rachel Wheeler adds:
To be honest, we’re starting to feel a bit grateful about the fact that James cut Adele off during the Brit Awards – everything else was fairly dull and we’d have had nothing to write about otherwise.
Adele’s thank you speech for being made Best Female act was cut short to allow Blur to belch an 11-minute medley of pub sing-alongs.
To the Sun this is front-page news as James Cordeon makes the lead news headline:
“MY HELL OVER ADELE”
Says Corden:
“I can’t believe that’s what they were asking me to do. I delayed for 15 seconds. They wanted to cut her short as time was running out. I was furious and put in a horrible position. I went straight to Adele’s dressing room and she was fine with me, but really upset. She had a speech and had a list of people she wanted to thank.”
Adding:
“The truth is, just after Adele said, ‘Thank you’ people were saying, ‘You have to go in now’. I said, ‘I can’t. How can you cut her off’? The whole room was on its feet and they said, ‘You’ve got to do it now’. And then essentially it was just such a surreal moment and everything you can hear in your ear is about five people having an argument — and there’s one overriding voice saying, ‘James, you have to’.”
The tin lid on Cordon’s “hell” is when he reveales:
“I was so upset and can understand why Adele was. I didn’t even watch Blur, one of my favourite bands.”
Anorak was so upset that it watched Blur. But grief affects us in different ways. Adele pours her heart into siongs about her ex-lovers. James Corden misses Blur.
Other stars and celebs then vent their outrage on twitter, seeing in a typical Brit awards hash all manner of sin and devoid of humour:
Lily Allen : “I’d rather hear adeles acceptance speech. I can’t say I’m surprised. It was like the music industry’s attitude to women played out as a metaphor.”
Philip Schofield: “Thanks guys, love you, but can Adele come back and finish her speech now. Really!!! I’m sure tonight it could have been News at 5 past 10 #nevercutoffAdele”
Vernon Kay : “Poor Adele….. Her speech was a Blur.”
James Corden : “Thanks so much for your messages, It was a great night. Can’t believe i was told to cut off the amazing Adele at the end. #Livetvnightmare”
Gabby Logan: “The ITN news had better start with Adele’s speech.”
Take ’em away, Adeleeeeeeeeee….

Kreayshawn prairie dogs a huge turd on GQ
KREAYSHAWN, that marketable Amy Winehouse, sees Adele’s finger and raise her a huge shit. In GQ Kreayshawn says that whenever she hears a Lana Del Rey song she tells herself: “I’m going to slit my ankles.”
As soon as the door shuts, she yells: “I have to POOP,” like a proud potty-trained toddler. This has clearly been on her mind for some time-when I’d originally asked if I could hang out in the room while she got dressed, she’d responded, “Are you going to write about how I pooped, ate nachos, then pooped again? Men won’t like that.” Her girlfriends are instantly behind her in this effort, no pun intended. Lady Tragik encourages, “C’mon, girl. Poop thug life,” and throws up the West Coast sign. Avian starts pumping her arm, in a sports-stadium chant: “Number two! Number two! Number two!” Kreay pumps her arm too, like an athlete encouraging the cheers. Then Avian puts on a mock-serious tone: “You prairie doggin’ ‘?”
Kreayshawn cracks up. I ask, “What’s ‘prairie doggin’?” Just trying to be a good reporter. She stops before the door to the bathroom: “You know how a prairie dog kind of pops his head out and then pops it back in?” She bends her spindly arms up like prairie-dog paws and demonstrates with her head bobbing up and down. “That’s what my shit is doing.” The bathroom door slides only halfway shut.

Kerry does not reveal in her OK! column how she managed to keep the huge jumbo-sized photo a secret, leaving us to believe Chez Kezza is full of cardboard cut-outs of the own-brand ketchup queen – and Steve only realised he wasn’t cuddling up to the real one when it didn’t fart and try to marry him in an OK! magazine special…
