For the most part, I'm a steamroll ahead kind of gal, but every now and then I think, "I really wish I had done such and such when I first moved to Los Angeles." And I can't say that nobody...

"Blame Canada" blazed the trail. Will "Rock Me Sexy Jesus" be next? Here's an Oscar campaign that we can really get behind, mainly because a live performance that lovingly sings about Jesus's abs and his Satan-ass-kicking ability could do wonders...
That possible "Burn After Reading" booing and hissing we mentioned earlier today? Gee, that didn't take long. Critics turned out for the Coen brothers' follow-up to their Oscar-laden "No Country for Old Men" at the Venice Film Festival today, and...

Hopes dashed for a VMA show stopper, a la a coherent Brit Brit without a broke-ass weave. Don Draper's pithy 140-character missives cut down in their prime. And Oscar nominees, and that Cody chick, get another day in the sun....
Being among the 211 million people who soaked up a good deal of the Olympics coverage on NBC, we were just as incredulous as the rest of you probably were with those horrifying "Kath & Kim" promos. Doesn't Selma Blair...
