SNOOZE-FEST 2008

ARE THE OSCARS STILL ON?? BECAUSE I AM PRETTY SURE YOU COULD STILL FLIP BACK TO ABC AND THEY WOULD STILL BE AIRING LIVE. WHAT A LONG AND TOTALLY BLAND NIGHT!

THE OSCARS SUCKED.

EXCEPT JON STEWART. HE WAS FABULOUS! THE FASHION WAS COMPLETELY BORING. MORE BORING THAN I MIGHT HAVE EVER SEEN AT ANY OSCAR AWARDS SHOW. AND TRUST ME WHEN I SAY I HAVE WATCHED THEM ALL.

FRIENDS I PRESENT TO YOU THE VERY BEST DRESSED FEMALE:



KATHERINE HEIGL. I ACTUALLY SAID "THANK GOD" OUT LOUD WHEN I SAW HER BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE LOOKED SO BLAH.

AND THE WORST DRESSED FEMALE.



THE WIFE OF DANIEL DAY-LEWIS. SERIOUSLY, SHE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO WIN AND THAT SHE WOULD BE ON CAMERA. IF SHE WAS TRYING TO MAKE A STATEMENT SHE DID. IT READS "I HAVE NO STYLIST AND WAS ON DRUGS WHEN I DECIDED THIS WAS MY OSCARS DRESS."

AND BY THE WAY, HER HUBBY LOOKS AWFUL AS WELL. WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE...

BEST DRESSED MALE. TOUGH CATEGORY FOLKS. I REALIZE THEY ARE ALL BASICALLY WEARING TUXEDO'S BUT YOU GOTTA ADMIT THAT SOME JUST PULL THIS OFF BETTER THAN OTHERS. AND HONESTLY, BESIDES KATHERINE HEIGL, THE GUYS FAR OUTSHONE THE WOMEN LAST NIGHT.

CLOONEY. LIKE I WASN'T GOING TO PICK HIM?? LOOK AT HIM!!



McDREAMY. HE LIVED UP TO HIS TITLE AND THEN SOME.



I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT McDREAMY'S WIFE MADE MY BEST DRESSED LIST. SHE LOOKS AWESOME AND I ADORE THE COLOR OF HER DRESS. IT WAS THE KIND OF DRESS I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE MORE OF LAST NIGHT.



NOW FOR THE IN-BETWEENS.

THE REMAINDER OF MY BEST DRESSED LIST:

CAMERON DIAZ



SHE CAN PULL ANYTHING OFF. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

JENNIFER GARNER



SHE'S STUNNING. I LOVE THE WHOLE LOOK. ONLY THING MISSING WAS BEN, AND WE ALL KNOW HE WAS BUSY F***ING JIMMY KIMMEL.

JASON BATEMAN



TEEN WOLF LIVES ON IN STYLE BABY!!!

FORREST WHITAKER AND WIFE



WOW. THEY ARE VERY, VERY CLASSY COUPLE!

CASEY AFFLECK



THOUGHT HE LOOKED GREAT!! MANY MAY DISAGREE BUT THOSE AFFLECK'S ARE HOT!!

PENELOPE CRUZ



I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT HER CLAIM TO FAME IS HER BEAUTY, AS HER ACTING REALLY SUCKS. SHE PROVED ME RIGHT LAST NIGHT.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, THERE ARE THE WTF'S...

RYAN SEACREST



I COULDN'T FIND A PICTURE, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD JUST INCORPORATE SEACREST'S TERRIBLE FASHION CHOICE WITH MY FAVORITE OSCAR MOMENT OF THE NIGHT. THE GARY BUSEY ATTACK. GOD LOVE JENNIFER GARNER. SHE LOOKS TERRIFIED.

MARION COTILLARD



I HAVE NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS OR HOW THE HELL YOU PRONOUNCE THE NAME OF HER MOVIE. I ALSO HAVE NO IDEA HOW SHE WON THE OSCAR BUT SHE LOOKED SO HAPPY WHEN SHE DID. IT WAS THE ONLY NICE MOMENT OF THE NIGHT FOR HER THOUGH, AS SHE HAD TO IMMEDIATELY LEAVE THE CEREMONY AFTERWARDS TO GET UP EARLY TODAY AND FILM "SPLASH II".

TILDA WHO CARES WHAT HER LAST NAME IS SHE SCARES ME...



I MEAN SERIOUSLY. SHE SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF ME.

CATE BLANCHETT



CATE HONEY. YOU ARE 0 FOR 2 SO FAR AND THERE ARE NO MORE AWARD SHOWS LEFT. GUESS YOU BETTER GET BACK TO FILMING ANOTHER MOVIE ABOUT ELIZABETH TO ENSURE YOUR SEAT AT NEXT YEARS OSCARS. BECAUSE REALLY... WHO CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THOSE ELIZABETH MOVIES??!!

CLOONEYS DATE



THIS GIRL HAS HIT THE FREAKING JACKPOT. SHE'S WITH CLOONEY. NOBODY KNOWS WHY. AND THIS IS WHAT SHE WEARS TO THE OSCARS?? HER EASTER DRESS?? G.A.G.

HELEN MIRREN



I'M SORRY YOUR HIENESS BUT THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS OUTFIT. OFF WITH HER HEAD!

JENNIFER HUDSON



SO J HUD CLEARLY HAS NO IDEA HOW TO DO THE OSCARS. THIS ISN'T AS BAD AS LAST YEARS BUT IT'S CLOSE. I CRINGED WHEN I SAW IT. SERIOUSLY.

OTHER NOTABLES:

HEIDI KLUM IS FABULOUS BY DAY



AND REDRACULA BY NIGHT



MILEY CYRUS



1. WHY WAS SHE AT THE OSCARS AGAIN??
2. DID I MISS THE PICS OF HER 40TH BIRTHDAY PARTY IN US WEEKLY??

KERI RUSSELL



EITHER WEAR YOUR FELICITY HAIR DOWN OR WEAR A DRESS THAT DOESN'T MATCH YOUR SKIN. AND FOR GOD SAKES KERI, STAND UP STRAIGHT.

VIGGO MOUNTAIN MAN MORTENSON



DUDE. SHAVE. IT'S THE DAMN OSCARS.

KRISTEN CHENOWITH



IS THERE ANYONE CUTER THAN HER IN THE WHOLE WORLD?? SO WHY GOD WHY MUST SHE WEAR A DRESS THAT MAKES HER MIDSECTION LOOK BIGGER THAN THAN HER ENTIRE BEING??

TRAVOLTA/PRESTON



THE SCIENTOLOGISTS MADE THEM DO THIS. YUCK.

WHILE WE ARE ON THE TOPIC OF THE OSCARS I FEEL IT NECESSARY TO SHOW YOU MY FAVORITE OSCAR DRESS OF ALL TIME. NOTHING WILL EVER BEAT IT. PLUS IT'S WORN BY MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE CELEBRITY.




SERIOUSLY. SHE SHOULD TEACH A CLASS IN THIS SHIT.

SORRY MY OSCAR COMMENTARY IS NOT AS FUNNY AS MY GRAMMY OR SAG AWARDS COMMENTARY BUT IF YOU ACTUALLY WATCHED THIS EVENT LAST NIGHT, YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND WHY I'M JUST NOT FEELIN' IT THIS YEAR...

IN OTHER NEWS THERE IS A SMALL POSSIBILITY I AM IN LOVE WITH ALEX FROM BIG BROTHER 9...



XOXO,
BAXTER

PS- ANGELINA JOLIE IS SINGLE-HANDEDLY REPOPULATING THE EARTH...

ON A LIGHTER NOTE, LETS TALK HOLLYWOOD!!

Okay I am sure that y'all know this already, but it's just news I can't handle... SERIOUSLY!! Tonight, at 9:00 pm the VERY LAST new episode of this show will be aired. Not ONLY does that mean that the writer's strike has to end, but then we have to wait for the new episodes to actually BE filmed!!

In addition, I heard from my Husband Vinnie Chase that my VERY favorite show may not be back at all if the strike doesn't end soon!! Are these people totally unaware that they are ruining my life?? I am a single girl with no kids, no dating life to speak of and a healthy obsession for my beloved television shows! So, to the writers and whoever they are striking against I ask... "WHAT ABOUT ME DAMMIT!?! WHAT ABOUT ME?!?!"

At least I am also a Reality TV junkie and my favorite shows in this genre are not only undisturbed, but several are coming back on significantly quicker than they would otherwise!! There is, of course, my favorite of them all that sadly only has a few episodes left. But Thank GOD that this starts this month, to be followed by this and this in February!! I might live after all!! If only This, my other absolute favorite, would come back with it's Paris plus some episodes, I could be sure of it!!

...So, while we are on "favorites", I thought I would share some of mine with you (aren't you just brimming with excitement!!). First up are my absolute favorite female trendsetters and celebrities in Hollywood. They are, in no particular order I might add:

MANDY MOORE





LAUREN CONRAD

REESE WITHERSPOON

KATHERINE HEIGL

DREW BARRYMORE

CARRIE UNDERWOOD

And as you surely know, ALL women have a "Top 5" List!! Well, mine is more like a top 8 List, which I make no apologies for because I am Single... ETERNALLY SINGLE... therefore I have the right to have 8 Celebrity Men on "My List". They are, in absolute particular order:

VINNIE CHASE/ADRIEN GRENIER

(EITHER WILL DO)

ANDY RODDICK

NICK LACHEY

KANYE WEST

ANDERSON COOPER

DAVE GROHL

BRODY JENNER

JEREMY PIVEN

So, there you have it... my glorious lists!! Glad to have that off my chest :-)

ALRIGHTY THEN!! So after pausing, saving & actually accidentally posting this post prematurely- all in an effort to STOP what I was doing to watch the Grey's final new episode... all I can say is that it was so sinfully good that I fell asleep right after and just now awoke to finish what I started on here. But I have a question here about Grey's people...

who the hell is "rose"??

"Rose" the Nurse... where did she come from, why is she stealing Meredith's Mojo, and why GOOD LORD WHY is McDreamy interested in a "Sela Ward circa mid-1990's lookalike"??

We need no more entries into the Seattle Grace drama arena. We like who we have already, thank you very much!! It was bad enough when "Ava" or whatever the hell her name was kept coming back, but now we have a "Rose". Two names I CANNOT stand in the first place, but more importantly two Grey's additions I consider totally lame. Maybe the writer's strike actually happened before we knew about it!!

Okay, so now on to the trainwrecks of Tinsel Town!! FUN FUN FUN!! It was bad enough when Jamie Lynn turned up preggo, but now This crazy woman is too? And rumor has it that she is also pregnant, although she may be slightly sane. When I found out about this celebrity pregnancy earlier in the week I considered it a GREAT thing, as my boy will surely make some damn beautiful offspring...

Speaking of that couple, I know we have all been-there-done-that with her ex's proven insanity, idiocracy, and the brainwashing of his formerly likable wife. Suri is actually quite cute though she looks JUST like her Momma leaving me to wonder if this story could be true... SPOOKY!!! But back to the formerly likable wife bit... WHATUP with her making this movie that nobody will go see?? I can't believe he let her out of the house to make the movie to begin with, especially when the combined forces of this awesome actress and this fabulous one could have tag-teamed her and had an intervention...

OOPS..MY BAD, LOOKS LIKE TOMMY HAD THAT ONE COVERED ALREADY!!

Now onto the FAB movies, and all I have to say is HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD Y'ALL!! I know that one of you stole my story, increased the number by 10 and sold it to make this new movie about my life!! But, I don't care who did it, I'm just super-excited to watch my life on film, with this rockstar playing me!! YAY!!! Here's a cute little shot from the film's premiere, and a fun little preview to get your juices going since it doesn't open for a few more weeks...

That's all I got from Hollywood today folks!! But back in the real world, I would just to throw in how un-fun it is to be an adult instead of a kid when it comes to parental vacations that until I turned 18 I used to be invited to. Now I'm out. That sucks! Especially since my parents have gone on some amazing vacations since then, including to here, here, here, here, here and here... and those are just the ones I remember!!

But earlier this week on my Mom's 58th Birthday, she woke up to view of this...

CHARLESTON, SC





While her beloved first born woke up to a view of this...

MY "BACKYARD" IN JC





BEING A GROWN-UP SUCKS!!! BUT I DO SO LOVE ALL OF YOU, MY ADULT FRIENDS... JUST DON'T SEND ME A POSTCARD FROM YOUR FABULOUS VACATIONS :-)

xoxo,
baxter


PS- HOW IN THE WORLD DID THE PAPS MISS THIS, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT ONE OF THEM IS HER NEW BOYFRIEND?? I WAS HOPING THAT MY FRIEND RAVEN WOULD RUN INTO HER AND CONDUCT A GOOD OLE' SOUTHERN INTERVENTION ON HER WHEN SHE GOES TO LA SOON, BUT APPARENTLY BRIT-BRIT HAS FLED THE COUNTRY!! MY GIRL IS HANGIN' BY A SINGLE THREAD OF SANITY THESE DAYS... HOPE SHE MAKES IT BACK ALIVE!!!

YOWZA!! IN THE TIME IT HAS TAKEN ME TO WRITE THIS BLOG THIS HAS HAPPENED... NO WONDER THERE IS A DAILY BRITNEY-WATCH!! :-)

**Also before I continue to leave you wondering, I did NOT step on the scale yet... but technically it's early D-DAY as we speak. So, I am going to go back to bed in the hopes of losing weight in my sleep :-0 and will be back later today to let you know the results of my first Weight Watcher weigh in!! Wish me luck!!
