The Hurt Locker Promotional Poster

A Hurt Locker producer will not be allowed to attend the Academy Awards this Sunday.  His crime?  He was sending e-mails out to Academy voters telling them to vote for his movie for Best Picture.  That is a big no-no.

The producer is Nicolas Chartier and IF the Hurt Locker does win for Best Picture, he will be able to get his award at a later date. 

An executive meeting was called about this situation on Monday to barr him.  He sent out the e-mail around Feb. 19th urging people to vote for his movie instead of a movie with a budget of $500 million, an obvious reference to it’s competition for Best Picture, “Avatar” by James Cameron. 

My naivete, ignorance of the rules and plain stupidity as a first-time nominee is not an excuse for this behavior and I strongly regret it,” Chartier wrote.

The other producers will be able to attend the movie.  The Los Angeles Times broke the story on the e-mail and published it.

There is a very interesting artcile about Hollywood really is defending Roman Polanski in the L.A. Times today.

No Doubt performed at the Gibson in Los Angeles on Wednesday and we were lucky enough to have someone front row center taking photos.

 It seemed like another great show from No Doubt and here is a review stating just that.

Hope you enjoy the “exclusive” pics.-Dr.FB

Simpson Stamp Collection www.latimes.com

DOH!!!

The Simpsons’ on a stamp? Why not?

They have won 24 Emmys over its two decade and still counting run on Fox Televison, had a hit movie, and  have sold millions of dollars in mechandise.  I guess its time to put their fug on a US Postal Stamp.  Starting May 7th you will be able to buy the 44 cent stamps featuring papa Homer, mama Marge, gangsta Bart, and La Sassy Lisa…oh yeah and homegirl Maggie.

4 people are missing at sea right now in the Gulf Coast of Florida.  2 people you may have heard of and 2 people you still may not have heard of.

Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper and defensive end Corey Smith were in a boat with two others that left Clearwater, Florida early Saturday morning.  Family members called the Coast Guard early Sunday morning and the Coast Guard advised there was no distress signal.

The Coast Guard is searching for the boat but heavy winds are making it hard for them to search.

This is what I could find out about the other 2 men; Will Bleakley is 25 years old and Nick Schuyler is 24 years old and both played for the University of South Florida college football team.

All 4 people are in my thoughts.-Dr.FB

UPDATE; Nick Schuyler was found alive. Searching for other 3 now.

The L.A. Times is saying that Prince had a Grammy afterjam, where he performed into the wee hours of the morning.  The catch?  you had to make the teeny-tiny list.

Grrr.  Guess my invite got lost in the mail along with 5,000 of my closest friends. 

We are hearing we may get a review, it’s not positive, but it’s a possibility.

We look forward to a review hopefully and I am sure a lot of people upset that they did not get to go,or about his website not being fully up yet, or somehow someway that octuplets thing is his fault or something.

Another note on the Purple One; Prince was spotted at the Honey Collective event last Thursday night, as well as at Clive Davis’s Grammy Party Saturday night.  I am sure after the Chris Brown incident with Rihanna, we all know about that party.-Dr.FB

Update: Looks like at this time, there is no review after all. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up as someone did try.-Dr.FB
