Sociopathic Social Climber

When I first saw pictures of Paris Hilton climbing a fence few days ago, I thought they were taken in her pre-jail life. This can't be true, I said, Paris is a good girl now, she doesn't drink, doesn't go out and reads The Bible every day, just like her publicists told her to. But now I am just as shocked as every one of you - this is Paris actually climbing the gate of her house earlier this week. Did she forget her keys? Is she no longer welcome in her own house? Does she miss climbing bars and walls in jail? Are her Spidey senses tickling? No, no, no and no! She is just drunk, which means she came back to herself. What does Jesus say about that?

Last night's Emmy Awards weren't exactly fair, but looking at Katherine Heigl from Grey's Anatomy with her award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, or even without it, makes me forget everything else. Judging by her hilarious reaction at the win, she was pleasantly surprised, too.
The biggest surprise of the night was 30Rock winning Best Comedy Series award. I really like Tina Fey and think that she's the funniest woman in the business, but I also know that 30Rock weren't that funny and much worse that The Office, that didn't win anything.
Terry O'Quinn finally got the award he deserved after three long years on Lost. The Sopranos won for Best Drama Series, America Ferrera won Best Actress in Comedy for Ugly Betty, James Spader won Best Actor in Drama for Boston Legal. Britney didn't perform this time, but pregnant Christina did.

The Burden Of Intelligence

Last night I finally went to see Inland Empire, the latest movie by David Lynch. I can't be thankful enough for my angelic patience that showed itself once again during this 180-minute-long delusion. Being a long time Lynch fan, I knew exactly what to expect and how to deal with the movie, which, apparently, a big part of the audience didn't. Little teenage girls and elderly couples walked out every 5 minutes. That screening sure produced some angry people. The rest of them, around 100 people whom I call quality audience (or at least those who weren't sleeping), stayed until after the credits and applauded. I will have to get another go at it, to understand and evaluate.

Britney is the Best Performer in the World

The whole world waited for this moment. This was supposed to be the night when Britney Spears made her comeback at the VMAs after three years of making babies and shaving every part of her body. Instead, she could barely move on stage, looked fat in whatever she was wearing and didn't even bother to sing along with the playback. Rihanna performed later with broken foot, and did much better then Britney.
The comeback is ruined. What a shock! I doubt Britney will ever have another number one hit. She has better chances at getting her virginity back and actually keeping it this time. Just like Sarah Silverman said in her unnecessary opening monologue, "by the age of 25 Britney already accomplished everything she's going to accomplish in her life", and then she poked more fun at Britney and her kids and made an impression of Britney's vagina with her mouth. She also apologized to Paris Hilton for her awesome joke at MTV Movie Awards earlier this year. I think the apology was totally uncalled for. That stupid criminal porn star deserves to be made fun of.
Other than that, the VMAs sucked this year, more than any other year. I didn't really understand what was going on there with all the performances and parties at different locations. They put Maroon 5 on a balcony to perform and then cut to commercials in the middle of the song. Uncool!
Other notable events: Justin Timberlake and Timbaland dominated the night on every possible aspect; Kanye West got upset again for not winning anything; Kid Rock and Tommy Lee, both Pamela's exes, got into a fight with each other; Shia LaBeouf revealed the title of the new Indiana Jones movie; Jamie Fox couldn't shut up; Rihanna won Best Song and Video awards for Umbrella ella ella eh eh eh...
