FRUITY FIGHT: Oscar winner Hilary Swank having her lawyer protest a $150 fine she received for bringing an apple and orange into New Zealand, according to the local Sunday Star-Times. The largely pest-free country bars importation of fruits.
Oh come on, Hilary. Everyone knows you don't bring fruit into a foreign country, don't be an idiot. Pay the $150 fine, are you insane? The seconds that it took you to pick up your phone to call your lawyer, it already cost you more than the fine. Just because you are a celebrity does not mean you can avoid the laws of other countries. This is why some people think Americans are stupid. Instead of owning up to what was probably a mistake, you call your lawyer. I thought you were cool for going to get a burger after the Oscars. Not anymore.
UPSIDE DOWN: Oscar-winning Sideways writer-director Alexander Payne and wife Sandra Oh, who was one of the four stars of the wine-happy film, have split after five years of marriage, People reports.
Huh. Interesting. She was the only one not nominated for some kind of award. Wonder if that had anything to do with it.
CLAMMING UP: Britney Spears vowing in a statement on her Website to steer clear of airing details about her personal life in interviews. Spears said she felt a recent Allure magazine interview focused too much on her private life.
Yawn. I guess you're so starved for attention that you have to release useless statements like this? No one's listening and no one cares, Brit. p.s., I'm skinnier than you.
KUDOS: Quentin Tarantino named Film Icon of the Decade at Britain's Empire Awards Sunday. Matt Damon won Best Actor and Julie Delpy won Best Actress at the awards which are voted on by the 12,000 readers of Empire magazine.
More useless awards. I think they're a decade too late on Tarantino. I guess they didn't realize that he hasn't done anything to rival Pulp Fiction yet. Julie Delpy? She's good, but I can think of quite a few actresses who are better.
BEAUTIFUL DAY: U2 among the musical acts being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Monday night. Other inductees include Percy Sledge, the Pretenders, the O'Jays and Buddy Guy.
Well of course that's great news, they are the biggest band in the world, after all.
Final thought
E! has hired a troupe of actors to re-enact the Michael Jackson trial every day. That is sad enough. What is even more sad is the fact that MuchMoreMusic has picked up this "program" and is airing it every night.
Come on MMM, are you that desperate for programming? We know a lot of Americans are fascinated by the legal system, but I'm pretty sure Canadians in general are not the same. The extremely detailed examination of the trial is really unnecessary. It's BO-RING. Your choice of running The Club, a TV show from SpikeTV about a Las Vegas nightclub, is also pretty questionable. Not exactly all about music. I am disturbed by your choice of programming lately. There are zillions of videos to play out there. Please play those instead. Now & Then is a great program, why not make that 2 hours instead of 1? Don't become like MTV, which stands for Music Television, yet they don't play any videos. Don't make me change the channel.
