mtv movie awards: and the nominees are...
mtv released the list of nominees for this month's movie awards today. and, to be honest, not one of the films is a shocker.  twilight and oscar darling slumdog millionaire lead the pack with 7 and 6 nominations each.  other movies being contended for the top award include iron man, the dark knight, and high school musical 3: senior year.  the part of the award show i'm most excited about, however, is one of 2 new golden popcorn trophies this year.  the first is best song from a movie (i guess to relay the fact that mtv is, in fact, music television) and the second best wtf moment.  the nominees for the wtf moment trophy include amy poehler peeing in the sink in baby mama, angelina jolie curving a bullet in wanted, the jumping in the poop sequence from slumdog millionaire (my choice to win - probs the biggest lol moment of any movie in the past year), ben stiller tasting a decapitated head in tropic thunder, and forgetting sarah marshall's naked break-up.  to check out the full list of nominees and vote for your favorites, head over to mtv.com.  the awards air may 31st live from hollywood hosted by andy samberg. voting ends the 27th, though, so head over there asap. 

jenny mccarthy gets the big "o"
haha naughty title, but it's not what you think.  the big "o" means oprah.  jenny mccarthy is the third star-in-the-making (behind dr. phil and rachael ray) to be handed a multi-platform deal with lady o's harpo production company.  until starting dr. phil's empire, harpo only dealth with oprah - for nearly 20 years.  jenny has already started her oprah life with a lifestyle blog on oprah.com.  she's also been appearing as a guest on oprah's new "friday live" show to ease her into the oprah audience.  oprah has long been a fan of jenny's best selling books about raising a child with autism and her latest book, mother warriors, is apparently what gave oprah the idea to make jenny into a daytime megastar.  over the next year, a daytime talk show will be developed for jenny that will most likely be a mix of celebrity guests, lifestyle tips, and activism segments - similar in style and pace to the rachael ray show minus the cooking.  not much else is being released about the deal, but expect a lot of jenny-oprah love over the next year. and expect jenny's longtime manfriend jim carrey to be her first guest.

a gyllenhaal gets married!
but it wasn't jake. instead, it was his sister maggie.  maggie, who took over the female lead in the new batman series from katie holmes, wed fellow actor - and baby daddy to the couple's 2 and a half year old daugher - peter sarsgaard in a private ceremony in a small italian town over the weekend.  the wedding only included a few guests, but brother jake and his lady love reese witherspoon were in attendance.  the couple has been together for quite some time now and has been engaged since early 2006, around the time maggie got pregnant with the couple's daughter.  hopefully reese caught the bouquet - wouldn't it be great to see the two of them tie the knot? well at least vicariously through one of the many celeb rags?
