The Bitch on the Oscars


Maybe it was the wine, but I had a good time watching the Oscars last night.

Not because of the show, which pretty much blew as usual.

I found it entertaining because of what E! put in its disclaimer.

We're live, so anything can happen. Viewer discretion is advised.

Better to be live than dead.

The night got off to a good start when Sasha Baron Cohen dressed in character to promote his film, The Dictator, stumbled and dumped an urn of ashes on Ryan Seacrest. The ashes were supposed to be North Korean's Kim Jong -- not the remnants of the last five winners of American Idol.

Or Dick Clark for that matter.

Then we got to watch Jennifer Lopez accidentally slip a nip. It wasn't much of a slip, as far as I could see but it created quite a buzz on Twitter. I mean the dress didn't leave much to the imagination to begin with.

But guys like Michael Douglas need something to live for, right?

And the cherry on top was when that that old hasbeen Sean Young got arrested for punching a security guard at the Oscar party. What is it about the women Kevin Costner hooks up with, cinematically speaking?

First Whitney, now Sean.

Flameouts acting badly.

I was really glad the French and Italians cleaned up with The Artist and Hugo respectively.

Glad that George and Brad got the big goose egg.

Glad the The Tree of Life is now the Tree of Death.

The show was pretty old school, if you ask me. And there's something comforting about that.

Somebody pointed out that Billy Crystal was doing a Sammy Davis Jr. impression and none of the youngsters watching knew who Sammy was.

I'm guess the Neilsons will reveal that most youngin's weren't watching the Oscars in the first place. I mean, why would a 16-year-old watch to watch Cirque du Soleil? Why would she care if The Artist won over Moneyball?

I thought Billy was pretty edgy for Billy.

It took a lot of guts for him to kiss George Clooney. Not because he's a dude, but because he might catch something. Hope he wore a mouth dam.

I'm glad that Viola Davis didn't win. She's been pretty uppity lately, calling herself an "artist" and nobody suspected the other fat girl to win.

Go Octavia!

I was somewhat disappoint that Bridesmaids didn't do better.

I suppose the Academy didn't want to get shit on their shoes and barf in their perfectly coiffed hairstyles.

Overall, I'd give the Oscars E for Effort.

Ashley Simpson: Conversation with Derek Favell Revealed

  On April 2, 2017, a family friend of Ashley Simpson opened her Facebook Messenger and got the surprise of her life.  Cathy MacLeod had been trying to correspond with Ashley's boyfriend, Derek Favell, who was the last person to see the St. Catharines native before she disappeared from her home in Salmon Arm, B.C. a year before. She wanted to know more about what happened to Ashley, and why Favell had refused to take a polygraph test when many others close to the missing woman agreed to do so. "I wanted to poke the bear," she said, and sent several messages to Favell pleading with him to talk to her.  " Please help us," she wrote. "It's been 10 months of pure hell. A lie detector would help if you have nothing to hide. I beg of you, help us, take the test to clear your name if there’s nothing to hide." Many, including members of the Simpson family, found Derek's behaviour, at least, curious. Ashley had disappeared on April 27, 2016. Yet it took

Ashley Simpson: A Father Remembers

I have asked Ashley Simpson's family and friends to give us a glimpse into the life she lived before going missing nearly a month ago. Here is how her father John remembers his sweet girl. Ashley was a treat when she came into this world, a smashing 9lbs 8 ounces with a  head full of hair and nails that needed to be clipped. She has made many friends in her journey of life and continues to make them as we speak. She has made this world a better place by her love of mankind and this place we call Earth; unfortunately this life she has lived hasn't been the best for her. She has suffered through unbearable pain and suffering through her menstrual cycles. She has cysts on her ovaries that make those 10 days a living hell. She had one of her ovaries removed when she was just 14; the other they won't take out till she is 40 or older. Years of hell for my Ashley. I so feel her pain every month but she doesn't quit, doesn't give in.   That's my

What Bell isn't telling you about Fibe TV

Update: This week, we switched back to Rogers after spending far too long using Bell's crappy television service. For those with Bell, read and weep. For those considering Bell, think twice even if you hate Rogers. RS I've always been an early technology adapter. I had a Betamax. That tells you everything (if you're over 50 at least). My first computer was a "Portable". It weighed 40 pounds and I had to lug it around town on a gurney. I've been through probably 15 computers in my lifetime. Apple is the best. It's also too expensive so I have a piece of shit HP, the one I'm writing this blog on. I've had cable, internet and now Netflix. American Netflix . That's how far ahead of the curve I am. I get all the newspapers for free. How? I disabled my cookies so they can't track me when I'm on the newspaper sites. Even the New York Times hasn't cottoned on to that trick. Hahaha. That will be a fifty buck consulting fee. Bein
