I totally stole that catchy title from who knows, everyone's sayin' it.
Read about who Jennifer Lopez performed for over the weekend and decide for yourself: Not Cool or Who Cares?
RIP Donna Summer and Robin Gibb
No video. Just enjoy the divas singing-
(I sang this at karaoke once. Ah!)
2/3rds of the Bee Gees are gone.

One Less Beastie
Adam "MCA" Yauch of the Beastie Boys died Friday at the age of 47.One of the best thing about them besides their music is that they didn't seem douchey.
Fab Babs is 70!
And Shirley MacLaine is 78. Who doesn't love a good kick, ballchange with a shoulder shrug. Genius, I tell you, genius!
Irony For the Day: Cheney Gets a New Heart
Means he would've had a heart to begin with.
Source
Most transplant teams, knowing that hearts are in huge demand, set an informal eligibility limit of 70.
Cheney is not the first person over 70 to get a heart transplant. He is, however, in a small group of people who have gotten one. Why did he?
Cheney has an advantage over others. It is not fame or his political prominence. It is money and top health insurance.
Heart transplants produce bills in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The drugs needed to keep these transplants working cost tens of thousands of dollars every year. Organ donations are sought from the rich and poor alike. But, if you do not have health insurance you are far less likely to be able to get evaluated for a heart transplant much less actually get a transplant.
The timing of Cheney’s transplant is ethically ironic given that the battle over extending health insurance to all Americans reaches the Supreme Court this week.

Shirley Was Trending
My girl Shirley MacLaine was a trending topic on Twitter today. Considering the top trends are usually sports and Bieber, this was awesome.
Shirl go notice because of her upcoming role on Downton Abbey. I know I'm supposed to be watching that show but I've got Breaking Bad to watch plus all the Oscar movies. So downton's gonna have to wait.
I really hope they let her wear a leotard as she hoofs it on Downton.

This proves that animals could replace some humans in office jobs, so look out.

Oscar Noms
I think Tinker Tailor Butt Asleep is too long for the Academy voters. Otherwise I would think the Academy, who can nominate up to 10 movies, might've included it in their Best Picture list. They only nominated 9 films, leaving a spot open. Problem, like I mentioned, is it's so dang long. Sure, the Academy members need a nap time but they miss the ending! And let's face it- if you're going to spend your whole day watching Gary "I have a weird attraction to him" Oldmam in a 70's spy drama, you need to see the end!
So we know we'll see Clooney and Pitt (and what's her face) at the awards. And yeah for movies about women crapping in the sink! Seriously, love that Bridesmaids has a best supporting and best writing nom. Now if only they would've nominated Jon Hamm so he was going to the awards also.
I liked Hugo, but if it wasn't directed by Scorsese, would it really have received 11 noms, the most of any film?

The GGs
Thought Ricky Gervais was funny, but he was barely on the stage. I guess they brought him back, and then told him not to speak. He introduced Madonna, and didn't mention her fake British accent. Seemed like he introduced more people last year. We saw him about every half hour or so this year.
The awards themselves weren't much of a surprise. Even Madonna winning best song wasn't surprising (except maybe to Elton John, who on the red carpet said there was no f-ing way she would win). She won a Golden Globe for acting (!) years ago, confirming that the GGs are more a fun party than predictor of the Oscars.
Morgan Freeman got the Cecil B DeMille award from Sidney Poitier and his recent co-star Helen Mirren. Why not Tim Robbins from The Shawshank Redemption? He was there anyways, having been nominated for something (can't remember what, just noticed him there). Liked that the producers not only including a video clip from The Electric Company in Freeman's montage, but kept it playing longer than most of the other clips. Maybe the video editor is against people allegedly dating their grand daughters.
