by thetodaynews on Feb.03, 2010, under celebs, entertainment
Sandra Bullock has just earned a rare Oscar/Razzie nomination duo, getting an Oscar Best Actress nomination for her role in “The Blind Side” and a Razzie Worst Actress nomination for her role in “All About Steve”.
Can she pull off a movie awards bifecta?
We have a The Today News .com staffer who is a voting member of the Razzies, and he says he won’t vote for, er, against Ms. Bullock. Will that be enough to spare her an embarrassing Razzie win? We’ll find out March 6 when the Razzie winners are announced!

Todays winner, er loser, in the “I Waited Too Long” category is Charlize Theron’s longtime boyfriend Stuart Townsend.
After nine years of dating with only a “commitment ring” (whatever that is) to show for it, Charlize dumped the Irish actor following a Christmas vacation in Mexico.
America’s Fattest City Breaks Celebrity Chef

Television chef Jamie Oliver broke down in tears of frustration while filming his new series “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution USA”, which aims to reform the eating habits of America’s fattest city, Huntington, West Virginia.
The residents of Huntington, over 50% of whom are obese, were blatantly uninterested in the chef’s healthy eating tips, and some residents were outwardly hostile to some of his suggestions.
When local schoolchildren were shown tomatoes hanging on a vine, they were unable to correctly identify the food.
Did they consider “tomater” a correct answer?

Simon Cowell Leaving ‘American Idol’
by thetodaynews on Jan.12, 2010, under celebs, entertainment
Simon Cowell has announced he is leaving “American Idol” after this season to launch the American version of his musical reality talent show “X-Factor”.
Cowell, who already has judging duties on Britain’s “X-Factor” and “Britain’s Got Talent”, says he would have been stretched too thin if he tried to add the American “X-Factor” to his current continent-hopping workload which includes “American Idol”.
Fortunately, we at TheTodayNews.com don’t have to worry about getting Simon withdrawal; we’ll continue to get berated by a virtual Simon every time we sing on the Wii “American Idol” game!
McConaughey with a Tall Cool One
by thetodaynews on Jan.10, 2010, under celebs
Don’t let Matthew McConaughey’s romantic comedy movie roles fool you. As this photo of McConaughey chugging a Miller Lite during a 2010 BCS Championship tailgate party shows, he is a regular guy just like you or me. Except he has 6-pack abs. And he is a multimillionaire. OK, other than that he is a normal guy just like you and me…
Goodbye 2009!
by thetodaynews on Dec.31, 2009, under celebs
Can we summarize the news of 2009 in one photo? Sure! Lady Gaga’s odd outfits were frequently the topic of 2009’s entertainment news.
This bubble outfit which Ms. Gaga was sporting during an April show is our favorite though. It’s perfect for a concert followed a night job at the strip club. Does anybody have a pin we can borrow?
Happy New Year!
Mel Gibson gets DiCaprio for his upcoming Viking film
by thetodaynews on Dec.14, 2009, under celebs, entertainment
Leonardo DiCaprio has long been fascinated with Viking culture, reports Variety magazine, so he jumped at the chance to don some horns for an upcoming Viking period drama to be directed by Mel Gibson.
The untitled film is expected to begin shooting in fall 2010, and will no doubt be as intense as Gibson’s other period directing efforts “Braveheart,” “The Passion of the Christ” and “Apocalypto.”
Can Leo pull off playing a fierce Viking? Although DiCaprio is officially listed at a smidge under 6′, there is much discussion as to whether he is really closer to 5′10″ on a good day, and has been wearing 2″-3″ lifts since appearing as a much shorter version of himself in “Titanic”.
Where Are They Now: Kristen Johnston
by thetodaynews on Dec.02, 2009, under celebs
Actress Kristen Johnston is most recognizable for her stint as alien Sally Solomon on TVs “3rd Rock from the Sun” from 1996-2001.
So what has Kristen been up to lately? We didn’t hear about it until now, but apparently in 2008 she posed for a hot PETA photo shoot in support of New York City carriage horses’ rights. Giddy-up!
In a twist of irony, her former 3rd Rock co-star French Stewart (Harry Solomon) owns and operates several zoos in Albuquerque. Look for a little friction between the two if there is ever a “3rd Rock” reunion show!
Live with Kelly and Bublé?
by thetodaynews on Dec.02, 2009, under celebs
Singer Michael Buble made another guest host appearance on “Live With Regis and Kelly” this morning, sitting in for Regis Philbin during his hip replacement surgery.
This is not the first time Buble has made a guest host appearance on the show, he does a good job at it, and quite frankly Regis is no spring chicken. Is his appearance a harbinger of the future of the popular morning show? Might we see “Live with Kelly and Bublé” in the near future?
