Roundup: Dave Duerson’s Final Days, Cricket Player Comes Out of the Closet & the List of Oscar Winners
Mila Kunis … he was duped into giving $200k to a fake girlfriend … everything you ever wanted to know about Derek Jeter’s Tampa mansion … she was hiding pills where? … rapper Juvenile arrested … lucky to be alive … interesting (and surprising) read about Wisconsin pensions and taxpayers … “Drunk Man Breaks Into Pizza Hut, Fries Wings” … Duke Snider died at the age of 84 … the thought of a ninja festival is radical … Andrew Sullivan leaves the Atlantic for the Daily Beast … Pacers fans chanted “Justin Beiber” at Utah’s AK-47 … the list of Oscar winners …

Nothing compares to the Oscar hate on Twitter last night. It’s a good thing the Library of Congress is storing all of them so the alien civilization that takes over can see how wretched we all are.
February 28th, 2011 at 8:54 AM

February 28th, 2011 at 8:54 AM
Seeing Natalie Portman was almost worth the torture of watching some of the Oscar’s. She is smoking hot even while pregnant.
Everybody else – what a bunch of pompous asses! I think if you polled the people there about who there favorite person in the world was, “ME” would get 100% of the vote.
February 28th, 2011 at 8:56 AM
So glad I DVR’d the Oscars and just skipped to the various awards. After the first few give/takes between Franco/Hathaway, it was clear there wouldn’t be much entertainment to obtained from the actual show.
Franco looked like he gave up about 30 minutes in.
February 28th, 2011 at 8:57 AM
agree w/ Cleet – the bitterness last night was overwhelming. pathetic, i’d say.
didn’t watch the complete show because Knicks were on … but every comment seemed to be how bad the show was. it felt like one of those snowball moments – a few people (with lots of followers) say it sucks, and then everyone just follows.
of course norm macdonald is going to have 273 negative tweets about it – he probably wishes he were hosting!
February 28th, 2011 at 8:57 AM

February 28th, 2011 at 9:01 AM
It’s the same every year. People bitch about the winners, the host and the length of the broadcast. It’s 3+ hours EVERY SINGLE YEAR. How are people not used to it?
February 28th, 2011 at 9:01 AM
Was that a dress or a nightie Mila Kunis was wearing? Not as bad as that dress Katherine Bigelow (Hurt Locker director) was wearing. Looked like someone snacked on the shoulder part of the sleeves.

Mila Kunis! Yes please.
As soon as I saw her last night, I had visions that she would be the round up pic.

I cant be the only person who gets bored to tears on the subject of British royalty, right? Enough already.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:02 AM
I can’t fathom how people can think she seems like a bitch. Boring? Sure, whatever. Plain? She’s not slutty, so maybe that makes her plain I guess, but she seems nice to me.
/Team Hathaway
February 28th, 2011 at 9:02 AM
cracker jack, I agree with you. Hathaway acted like a giddy school girl all night and needed to be smacked. She just wouldn’t shut up. I hope the Oscars go back to comedians as host.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:02 AM
Highlight for me was Kirk Douglas. He could barely speak but he knew this was the last time he was going to be on stage so he milked it for verything it was worth, including his eye-fuck of Hathaway.
It might do you good to see a gritty, non-heisty, depressing movie that makes you think.
/just sayin
February 28th, 2011 at 9:03 AM
that’s being generous, i don’t think he was interested in being there at all.
there we go, now we’re back to normal.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:03 AM
Same here. I also feel like she’s worn this style of dress to every awards show. I thought Jennifer Lawrence looked amazing in her dress even though it was very simple and she didn’t wear many accessories.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:03 AM
But there’s a royal wedding coming up in April. The future king/queen will be married!

I haven’t yet seen The King’s Speech, but I haven’t heard one person say anything other than how much they liked it. I wonder how many people bitching about it winning have even seen the movie?
February 28th, 2011 at 9:05 AM
cracker – I have had a decade long rant that bores my family about royalty. it is medieval. The “royal family” is just a bunch of freeloading idiots that never accomplished anything. At least Charlie Sheen earned his money. What the fuck have any of them ever done? I don’t care about the brat getting married and I don’t care about the guy with the big ears or the old bat with the purse.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:06 AM
Pathetic that American TV networks are and will be giving so much attention to the royal wedding. 98% of people in the U.S. don’t give a damn about it. Let’s focus on issues here.

I also liked Jennifer Hudson, Halle Barry and Matthew McConaughey’s girlfriend.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:07 AM
Eh I had just seen her monologue from SNL the night before. She has this way about her, where she speaks with this fake royalty, almost British accent. Its just very easy to picture her being all ‘dont you know who i am?!’.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:08 AM
First thing I thought of was ScarJo wearing a similar dress with her boobs popping out a few years back.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:09 AM
I finished the mini-series Pillars of the Earth over the weeknd on Netflix, which is kind of about the line of succession. It’s just a fascinating subject, more than the actual people involved who are often puppets or victims/benefactors of circumstance. I know one group of people who never tire of the subject: Jeopardy clue makers.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:09 AM
I just hope James Franco is on Letterman sometime soon. “Any advice on what to do after you bomb at the Oscars?”
February 28th, 2011 at 9:10 AM
Mila Kunis was yummy last night. As was Natalie Portman. The fiancee was not too pleased I was eye humping them.
The last Anne Hathaway dress was money by the way.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:10 AM

February 28th, 2011 at 9:12 AM
cleet I liked Pillars of the Earth, it was about much, much more than British royalty.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:12 AM
Worst Oscar hosts ever. By a mile. I just don’t understand what they’re thinking. They need to find another Bob Hope or Billy Crystal to do the Oscars year in and year out for a while. I always thought Jerry Seinfeld would be a good choice for this as he’s not too busy with any other projects.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:13 AM
Tell her to get over it. Every woman you saw on the show had hours to get ready and a team of people helping them look fantastic. If you can’t look good after that, then lord help you because you are not that attractive.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:13 AM
Marvin Austin just ran a 4.88 40 as a 300+ pound man. Damn.

Aren’t you American? Curious as to why it bother you so much when it doesn’t affect you in any way.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:15 AM
I can never get to much about the British Royals. British History and the Monarchy always piqued my interest for some reason.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:15 AM
Hathaway seems a little cunty, but I can’t hate on her since both me and her are part of the pale skin alliance.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:15 AM
maybe they can get kirk douglass, he was less painful to watch than Franco.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:16 AM
Not a fan of Erin Andrews’ sequined off-the-shoulder dress. It looks like a cheap prom dress.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:16 AM
moobs flopping or no moobs flopping?
February 28th, 2011 at 9:16 AM
No doubt, the royalty was just a backdrop to it. If anyone hasn’t read the book I could not reccomend it more, just be advised it is very loooong but worth it.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:17 AM
I can’t say this as I honestly don’t remember the hosts. I agree that they need to find a comedian and have him/her do it every year, but that’s a hard thing to find.

Really down to earth and for 4 years dates a scumbag who uses their charity and the fact that he pretended to work for the VATICAN to steal millions from investors.

What the hell is this “shortlink” bar at the top of my screen?
February 28th, 2011 at 9:50 AM
I think he read what the writers wrote for them and said fuck it, I’m getting high. They really didn’t give him and Anne much to work with.

So…Jennifer Lawrence is going to be in the next X Men movie..replacing Rebecca Romijn as Mystique. uh..hell yes.

Yeah, she really should have told him to show her his books and all that. I can’t believe she didn’t do that.

Ahh. Lovely. Obviously I don’t keep up with US weekly as well as you do. Last night was pretty much the first place I’ve seen her that was not a movie or her doing press for one. I’ll go ahead and retract my statement.

She’s one of those women that I can’t decide whether or not I think she’s attractive. I
if you are attracted to aliens, she is your girl.
she has shown her bewbs? in what?
February 28th, 2011 at 9:56 AM
Vladdy, I’m just happy that the Sabres made a trade. I don’t care if it was just Brad Boyes. The new ownership is putting their foot up Darcy Regier’s ass so that he’ll make moves. All Buffalo fans hope they fire him and get a new GM anyways.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:57 AM

Not to pile-on with the bitching… but the writers really laid a turd last night. The funniest line of the night can’t be a Charlie Sheen joke. Unless it was broadcast on CBS; in which case, millions will watch a show that has the same plot and regurgitates the same jokes for every show.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:57 AM
In quite a few things. Brokeback, Love and Other Drugs, and . . . . someone help me. I think there’s a few more.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:58 AM
They had a cameo in Brokeback Mountain…didn’t see her most recent movie where I believe they got their own billing in the credits

She was topless for about half the movie she recently did with Jake Gyllenhal (sp?). I would have been pissed that I got dragged to see that otherwise; the movie was awful.

I wouldn’t say that the new owner put his foot in Regier’s ass, he stated at his opening press conference that they are going to spend (Boyes has another year at $4M cap hit). Regier is conservative, but much of that mindset was a result of the previous owner.
Regier signed a 2 year extension awhile back and there are plenty of reports saying that Ruff will also get an extension.
February 28th, 2011 at 9:59 AM
I think he and Spence were hanging out with the bong last night.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:00 AM
I have the TradeCentre tracker open in another tab and the Boyes trade is stil the last one on there. There hasn’t been a trade yet today? What are all those guys doing on the air?
February 28th, 2011 at 10:00 AM
I thought the funniest line of the night was when Franco said, “Congratulation Nerd.”
February 28th, 2011 at 10:01 AM
Pharm, I have TSN’s tradecentre window up as well, nothing since the Boyes deal last night. Basically the TV guys are telling us who isn’t available.
Usually takes a little while to get things rolling. Although, given the number of deals in the past 2 weeks, today will probably be a letdown.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:02 AM
That’s it. Thanks.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:02 AM
Vlad,
I think Ruff will stay and Darcy may get 1 one more year, but that’s about it. and yes, while I am grateful that Golisano saved the Sabres, there is no sadness seeing him and Larry Quinn leave town. Larry Quinn was one dumb cheap bastard.
/sure it’s ok to let Drury and Briere go…….still weeping

I you look back at the contracts those two signed, be thankful the Sabres didn’t match.
/Briere, 8 years $52M
//Drury, 5 years, $32.3M
February 28th, 2011 at 10:06 AM
I thought the funniest line of the night was when Franco said, “Congratulation Nerd.”
To be honest, I actually like Franco a lot. It just seemed like he had no material to work with last night.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:07 AM
Geeez, it’s just funny to me because TSN has 30 people on-air.
It’s crazy, but the ratings have been off the charts the last couple years. They’ll keep doing it it people watch.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:08 AM
agreed. But for most of the night, Franco looked disinterested. Can’t really blame him, but there was a total mismatch of energy coming from the hosting duo.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:08 AM
TJ
What free agents do you think Buffalo will pursue in the offseason? I think they should look at top pair guy to play with Meyers.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:08 AM
Agreed on the Drury numbers but to see Briere perform well for Philly, it is upsetting. I am glad the Sabres did match the Oilers offer for Vanek. Totally worth it. Sabres desperately need a backup goalie. Lalime has been godawful this year and Miller is going to wear out if he doesn’t get a breather.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:10 AM
Yet they did match with Vanek…..
February 28th, 2011 at 10:11 AM
I am glad the Sabres did match the Oilers offer for Vanek.
So am I.
Vlad, the crop of UFA’s this summer is pretty weak in terms of defenseman.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:11 AM
Where is everybody? There isn’t some holiday I’m not aware of today, is there?
February 28th, 2011 at 10:12 AM
Buffalo definitely needs a top-level defenseman and a couple of centers. Tim Connolly can be traded for all I care after the season (we sorely miss Derek Roy). The Niedermayer signing was a pipe dream and has been disappointing. Buffalo needs to sign a high level player overall and not an aging has-been. Enough of the cheap free agents. Take a chance!
February 28th, 2011 at 10:13 AM
Very true. I like Franco. He’s always great on SNL, but I think the writers for the Oscars just suck. Not much for him to work with.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:14 AM
Maybe TBL finally put up the velvet rope and we’re all that’s left.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:14 AM
Vanek was worth matching, IMO. Without him, the Sabres wouldn’t even be in 9th place right now. Very glad we don’t have Afinegenov anymore.

Last night wasn’t very good, but I’m a sucker for the movie business and the Oscars are my annual excuse to down a bag of Wavy Lays and a tub of Helluva Good French Onion dip.
/I mean semi-annual, I do it for the Super Bowl too.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:21 AM
It’s the last day of February, that should be a holiday in itself. Worst month of the year.
February 28th, 2011 at 10:22 AM
I like the oscars too. Every year I have a bunch of people over, and we have a good time. We all draw a name out of a hat and everytime that person appears on screen you drink. I got fucked last night b/c I drew Anne Hathaway. But it’s always a good time.
