nicole richie and joel madden have announced that they will be expecting their second child later this year. late last night, the rocker posted on good charlotte's official site that he was excited to be entering a second child into the world. the couple is not married but has been together for over 2 years. nicole gave birth to the musically inclined duo's first child, harlow, in january 2008. that means there will be about a year and a half (probably) between the two children. there's no word on when the baby is due, what sex the baby is, or if the couple plans on tying the not to make their family legally official, but congrats to the twosome. with the rate they're going, they're bound to have a whole football team of kids in a few years. joel famously dated hilary duff prior to nicole; they're relationship lasted quite a few years and, according to hilary, was a celibate one. that explains why he's so hellbent on having so many kids, eh?
it's not the oscars...
it's the razzies. the "crappy" oscars were held saturday night in los angeles mike myers and paris hilton lead the pack for nominations, and swept they're categories. paris took home the razzie (not literally, as she wasn't in attendance like halle berry was a few years ago for catwoman) for worst actress, worst supporting actress, and worst on screen couple. mike myer's the love guru got the statuette for worst picture, worst actor, and worst screenplay. is america just finally over mike myers? getting a golden razzie is a step in the wrong direction (halle berry's career still hasn't really recovered). the only project he currently has in production that is bound to be a hit is shrek goes fourth, in which he won't even appear on screen. maybe that's the key to his success? we'll get to see in 2010 when the film hits screens in 3d. and as for hilton? she doesn't have any film projects in the works for the near future. i'd say that's a good thing, wouldn't you?
and the oscar goes to...
the 81st academy awards were held tonight with almost no surprises. the memo that leaked yesterday was obviously a phony since some of the award winners were chosen in correctly on the sheet. hugh jackman did a fine job hosting, though i don't know if he'll be invited back. the song-and-dance numbers were impressive, but not all that entertaining in the long run. the shows need a comedian to keep the flow going and to keep the crowd upbeat (though not john stewart...he didn't know what he was doing a few years ago). jackman is definitely better suited for hosting the tony awards with his musical background. beyonce's appearance in a movie-musical themed performance, alongside zac and vanessa from high school musican and amanda seyfried and dominic cooper of mamma mia, was by far the highlight of the show, even if beyonce was lip synching. the clip will landed on youtube so those of you who missed it will be able to check it out above. oh, and the winners? well, penelope cruz has been named best supporting actress for vicky cristina barcelona (makes me sad for amy adams), heath ledger garnered a posthumous awards for his role in the dark knight, wall-e received the nod for best animated feature (big shocker, being a disney/pixar film), danny boyle won for his direction of slumdog millionaire, which also took home the best picture nod. i thought the coolest part of the evening was the way the acting awards were handed out; 5 winners from the past were chosen to each speak about one of the current nominees. it was just a cool way to remember who has won what and see that, wow, that old guy from that one movie isn't dead yet. it also explained why the camera kept cutting to sophia loren. speaking of best actress and actor, those awards went to kate winslet (another shocker, though i still wish anne hathaway had gotten more recognition this awards season) and, what was actually a surprise, sean penn took home the best actor statue. a lot of people worried that his film, milk, would be critically revered but award show snubbed, due to its similarly themed subject matter with brokeback mountain. it's probably a good thing that mickey rourke didn't take home the statue, though his acceptance speech would have been great to watch, i'm sure.
