Angelina in Darfur

Angelina Jolie made a two-day trip to a camp in eastern Chad this week, where she visited refugees from neighboring Sudan’s Darfur region.

“It’s always hard to see decent people, families, living in such difficult conditions,” said Jolie, who reached the 26,000-person Oure-Cassoni camp after crossing a Saharan sandstorm.

“What is most upsetting is how long it is taking the international community to answer this crisis,” she said in a statement released Wednesday by the Geneva-based U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.

WHAT?!?! No Van Halen Reunion?

This is a few days old, but I have been in a sinus fog, so I missed this very important story. Dang, I was looking forward to rockin' some big aqua net hair. "Oh oh oh LB's Cryin'"

The Van Halen tour has been "shut down," according to a top official at Live Nation, the huge concert promoter that finally surrendered in the face of the chaos surrounding guitar hero Eddie Van Halen. Roth, meanwhile, says he is unsure whether the mercurial guitarist will even travel to New York for the Hall of Fame induction on March 12.

"We have fragile politics in Van Halen; please accept that as a partial answer," Roth said. "But I don't know if the Van Halens are going to go….I hope they do, but right now, I just don't know. Hope springs eternal."

Larry to See the Baby?

Not many men would voluntarily raise another man's child if that other man was willing to take custody. Think about it. Howard K. doesnt want to raise Larry's kid. Please. It's not like there is going to be a big settlement payday any time soon, if ever.

Entertainment Night aka Anna Nicole News, is reporting that Larry Birkhead will get to see the baby tonight. Now, if Howard K. Stern knew for sure he was the father he wouldnt allow that.

UPDATE: Crack reporter Tony Potts, from Access Hollywood aka the ones on Larry's side, has confirmed that Larry held the baby and got spit up on. Ok, he could take that spit as DNA evidence so obviously Howard K. thinks Larry's the father.

Also- Frank Rodriguez, a "friend" of Anna's, says she had lupus. I will have an update when Mark Steines, ace reporter, continues his story (theyre dragging this out of course).

UPDATE: Howard K. says that it wasnt "entirely accurate" about Anna having lupus. He is such a lawyer.

Eddie Was Going to Leave Anyways...

See, this is the kind of attitude that probably cost him the Oscar! He should have to suffer thru the Oscars like the rest of us!

Eddie Murphy left his seat at the Kodak Theatre after losing the Best Supporting Actor Oscar (for Dreamgirls) to Little Miss Sunshine's Alan Arkin – but his rep says the comedian would have done the same thing even if he'd won.

"Eddie had always planned on leaving after his category was announced to spend the rest of the evening with his family," says rep Arnold Robinson, adding, "He did the same thing following the Golden Globe Awards." (Murphy did win at the Globes.)

So annoying that fur is making a comeback. We're not Laura Ingalls- we dont need the fur people.

Eddie Leaves During the Show

According to US Weekly:

Is Eddie Murphy a sore loser? After failing to nab the award for Best Supporting Actor to Little Miss Sunshine’s Alan Arkin, Murphy tried to brush off the loss, telling Us, "It's fine. It happens. It's OK."

But clearly it wasn't. Shortly thereafter Murphy, 45, and girlfriend Tracey Edmonds left the show in a huff and didn’t return. Thanks to the early exit, the actor didn’t see any of his Dreamgirls castmates perform and missed out on costar Jennifer Hudson’s win for Best Supporting Actress.

Bossy Oprah

I love that Oprah emailed Forest Whitaker before the Oscars and told him his speech has to have "a beginning, middle and end". If I knew FW's email address, I wouldve emailed him the same thing. Although, he probably wouldnt have listened to me.

During Oprah's after Oscar special (taped early this morning), I swear she asked Forest if he had time to rest his eye. Not eyes, but eye.

Fur Wearing Whore Sharon Stone.

Crazy.

Posh.

Kate- quit wearing this style of dress, and never wear this color again. Washed out.

I know Maggie is quirky, but why on Oscar night?

Chloe from 24 almost in the same dress as J. Low.

Aww, Ellen matched her man clothes to Portia's dress.

Madonna looks great, but she wore a very similar dress when she won a Golden Globe for Evita.

Pics From the Show

And she said she wouldn't dance.

I thought this was funny.

Steven Spielberg takes Ellen and Clint's picture.

She took off the shrug. But still, the dress is blah. Why don't nominees pull out their best dress for the Oscars?

Eva Green and Gael Garcia Bernal presenting Documentary Short. When Gael said "long or short, its what you do with it that matters" there were snickers in the audience and he playfully lifted his eyebrows. Unintentional penis jokes really are universal.
