Eddie Murphy
Eddie Murphy seems to have an ego bigger than...well..The Nutty Professor.
Unless you have spent the last week living under a rock, you will know that the annual festival of glam, glitter, bitchiness and oversized egos, otherwise known as the Oscars took place this week, and Eddie Murphy made a down and out fool of himself, so bad infact that even the biggest of hollywood egos had trouble comprehending what they had just witnessed. The moment came when the award for Best Actor In A Supporting Role was to be announced. While Eddie Murphy was a clear favourite to win, the field was strong. With Djimon Hounsou nominated for his powerful role in Blood Diamond, Mark Wahlberg for his role in The Departed, and Alan Arkin nominated for his role as the quirky grandfather in Little Miss Sunshine, it was always going to be a tough one to pick. However obviously Eddie Murphy had already made up his mind who should win the award. When Alan Arkin was announced as winner, Eddie Murphy and girlfriend Tracey Edmonds stood up and stormed out of the ceremony....much to the shock of onlookers. In the fallout, Eddie Murphy has quite rightly been labelled a sore loser. So angry was Murphy that he didnt even stick around to see fellow Dream Girls co-star Jennifer Hudson pick up her award for Best Supporting Actress. Perhaps Eddie Murphy needs a reality check. Lets face facts. Murphys career has been up the creek without a paddle for several years...perhaps from all they way back to the Beverley Hills Cop series of films. While Murphy has occasionally shown small glimours of hope, for example The Nutty Professor, his career has hardly been stellar for most of the nineties or naughties. Eddie Murphy, you are a downright ****wit of golden proportions. Shame on you.
Avril Lavigne
Whether her music is good or not is always going to be an endless debate. However when it comes to the worlds most insightful people, its fair to say that Avril Lavigne is hardly at the top of the pile. And she once again showed this week why that is the case. With Britney Spears seemingly losing control of herself, music bible Rolling Stone decided to start asking Britneys peers for their thoughts on the life of being a pop star and the challenges it comes with. When asked for a comment on the current situation of Britney, Avril once again dished out a pearl of wisdom.
"I think she (Britney) is having trouble dealing with her fame. Shes gone a little bit cuckoo" says Lavigne.
Thanks Avril, I think the rest of us had already worked that bit out.
Honda Australia
Word coming out from those in the know at the Melbourne International Motorshow is, that unless you are happy to pay a rediculously expensive entry fee to see what amounts to nothing more than an oversized showroom, this years show is set to be a dissapointment. Insiders have commented that there is very little this year in the way of drawcards. Perhaps the biggest disappointment will be the stand belonging to Honda. The highlight of Hondas display this year is said to be the environmentally friendly FCV, which many agree looks hideous, and the all new CRV. Now when it comes to light to medium sized All Wheel Drive vehicles, the CRV is a damn fine car. But its hardly the pinnacle of motoring excitement. If you are looking for something a little more exciting to have a look at, the Sixty Years Of Ferarri display at the Crown Attrium is said to be a highlight...and best of all...ITS FREE!!!
Leonardo Dicaprio
Oh Leo, you sure know how to talk crap dont you now?
Back to the Oscars, and without a doubt the most amusing comment for the night came from Leonardo Dicaprio.... yet it was unintentional.
"While on stage, Leo made the startling claim....
"The Hollywood Movie Industry is always looking for new ways to give back to society."
Leo, we think not.
Michelle Anderson
Ok, so you are probably asking who the **** is Michelle Anderson. Michelle is a staff member and sometimes on air presenter at Melbournes Nova 100 FM who has quite an interesting achievement under her belt, and we though it was worthy of a mention. Anderson can sometimes be seen out on the road with the Nova ambulances and promotional vehicles where she does broadcasts on location. Anderson despite being at the station for little more than 3 years, has managed to crash the Nova promotional vehicles a record 7 times in her time at Nova. Not a bad effort at all. Although we are sure its an effort shes not proud of. Safe Driving Michelle.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Apparently there is 3 sides to the story of the Chilli Peppers at the 2007 Brit Awards.
Our final word this week goes to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Despite the fact that the Brit Awards, Englands very own version of the Grammy Awards, were held more than 2 weeks ago, word only just got out this week of the bizarre antics of the Chilli Peppers. The band would only enter their dressing room if all 3 sided objects were removed from the room. As a result, staff had to scour every corner of the room to ensure that no 3 sided objects were inside the room. After clearing the room, one very observant staff member noticed that a plate of sandwiches made up for the band members were cut into...yes you guessed it....triangles. The staff member quickly removed the sandwiches and the band entered oblivious to their existance. We think perhaps the Chilli Peppers oughta focus on doing something they havent done for many years......release a half decent album.
