George Clooney Thinks Angelina Jolie Has Gas

She's certainly giving them something to talk about. Angelina Jolie missed the Oscars Sunday night but that didn't stop Jon Stewart, and now George Clooney from weighing in on her recently debuted baby bump.

"Either [she's pregnant or] it's a tremendous amount of gas which is just not likely."

We'll pass that on, George. No pun intended.

Jon Stewart: Angelina Jolie, I've Got Your Baby

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt didn't attend the Oscars last night, but they still weren't safe from Jon Stewart. While presenting a fake award in honor of all the pregnant actresses present - Nicole Kidman, Jessica Alba and Cate Blanchett - Stewart announced Jolie as the winner and said, "Obviously Angelina Jolie couldn't be here — it's hard to find 17 babysitters on Oscar night," and then added, "I accept this baby on her behalf."

The Oscars 'In Memoriam' Montage: Who Was Forgotten? Who Is D-List Dead?

HerBadMother — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 14:45:00 GMT

Heath Ledger's video memorial was, of course, the final and most loudly applauded of the memorials included in the 'In Memoriam' tribute at last night's Oscars - but who was snubbed?

Well, that depends upon how you define 'snubbed.' Is it a snub for some featured memorials to receive no or little applause when others are loudly applauded and cheered? If so, most of the memorials in last night's Oscar tribute to Hollywood's dead were snubbed: the only significant reaction from the audience came for Ingmar Bergman and, as expected, Heath Ledger. Most others received little or no reaction. That guy who did some sort of make-up or effects work for Jurassic Park? Crickets. Which, you know, has gotta suck for those poor, dead Members of the Academy watching from Heaven or Hell or Living-On-Residuals Purgatory or wherever they are. You get the honor of a memorial at the Oscars and the audience of your peers just sits on their hands? Brutal.

Still, it's worse to be forgotten entirely. Robert Goulet was left out of the montage entirely (I know - who? That's my point.) More notably: Brad Renfro. His memory wasn't honored. Wasn't he one of Hollywood's great bright hopes just a few years back? A handsome young man who starred alongside the likes of Susan Sarandon, Sir Ian McKellen, and Robert de Niro? Why wasn't his death memorialized?

(And don't get me started on the exclusion of Anna Nicole Smith. Appearances in The Naked Gun IV aren't enough to get you in alongside some stunt guy from those Chuck Norris movies? Puh-leeze.)

Is there anything worse than to be considered D-list dead? To be out-died by random make-up artists and stunt guys with better publicists than you? Hollywood sucks.

Check out a 12-year-old Miley Cyrus as she auditions for Hannah Montana. You can see the girl's got talent - and you can tell by the overzealous reactions of the casting people off-camera that they already knew they had a multi-gazillion dollar franchise on their hands.

Also see a sweet little duet that Miley does with her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus. It'll touch your achy breaky heart.

FameCrawler Oscar Picks: Where We Demonstrate That We Really Do Have an Opinion on Everything

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 20:35:00 GMT

Without a doubt one of the things keeping you up late at night is wondering "Who do the FameCrawler bloggers think will win big at the Academy Awards?" (Of course, that along with, "Who will Jamie Lynn take to Lamaze class?)

This must be your lucky day, because here are our completely unsolicited opinions (Sorry, can't help you out with the Jamie Lynn thing):

Sweatpantsmom:

Best Actress: Laura Linney (I love her. Ellen Page was great in Juno, but has no 'body of work.' That there is Academy-speak for "She ain't been in nuthin' else.")

Best Supporting Actress: Ruby Dee (First time nominated. She's 83, for chrissakes - just give it to her already.)

Best Actor: George Clooney (He's hot. And I still watch ER, hoping for him to make a surprise cameo.)

Best Supporting Actor: Hal Holbrook (See Ruby Dee, above)

Best Picture: Juno (Juno Juno Juno. Has anyone even seen the other movies?)

Whit:

Best Actress: I didn't see any of them, so I'll go with whoever looks the hottest.

Best Supporting Actress: See above.

Best Actor: Daniel Day Lewis

Best Supporting Actor: That kid from There Will Be Blood. Oh, he wasn't nominated. Um, how about that rat from Ratatouille?

Best Picture: There Will Be Blood

Best Host: Jon Stewart (Lifetime Achievement to Billy Crystal)

Her Bad Mother:

Best Actress: Prediction: Julie Christie; Wish: Ellen Page

Best Supporting Actress: Prediction: Cate Blanchett (but will be happy if she or Tilda Swinton or that little Irish chick wins it)

Best Actor: Prediction: Daniel Day Lewis; Wish: Viggo (Johnny's hot, but Sweeney Todd? Nope. Viggo's hot AND deserving for that penis-baring knife fight)

Best Supporting Actor: Prediction/Wish: Javier Bardem

Best Picture: Toss-up: No Country For Old Men or There Will Be Blood. Can't call this one.

Karen:

Best Actress: Ellen Page because she is a Canucklehead like me.

Best Supporting Actress: Tilda Swinton because if I could have a celebs life it would be hers and Johnny Depp would be my boy toy. (See below.) Although the step-mom in Juno should have been nominated.

Best Actor: Johnny Depp - because he is my back-up husband and deserves it.

Best Supporting Actor: Phillip Seymour Hoffman because I'm a big fan of his work and he rocks and that's all you need to know.

Best Picture: Juno, hands down has to win because I'm a Mom and I said so.

Sassy Smith:

Best Actress: Julie Christie

Best Supporting Actress: Ruby Dee

Best Actor: Daniel Day Lewis (totally want Johnny Depp to win but whatever..lol)

Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem

Best Picture: No Country For Old Men
