Saturday Fluffernutter: No Osc for Jay Lo; “Tipsy” Mariah Carey; Tiger – the prison picture; The sad death of Casey Johnson (1979-2010)
All the fluffy news about those nutty celebrities
Jennifer Lopez is reported to be “upset with the academy” because she was not given an oscar nod for 2006’s El Cantante. Lopez starred in the movie alongside her husband Marc Anthony about the life of Puerto Rican salsa singer Hector Lavoe. 
According to the New York Daily News, Lopez is frustrated that the members of the academy never saw El Cantante, therefore couldn’t properly judge her superiority.
No fear, Lopez fans. Lopez herself says “I have the utmost faith and no doubt that it will [happen] one day.”
As if they’re giving an Oscar to Jennifer Lopez before Madonna gets one.
In other Diva news, Mariah Carey gave a seven minute acceptance speech after winning some award or another at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. Some called it rambling; some suggested she was jet lagged; some have said she was “tipsy on champagne.” However, I know too much party, not enough brains when I see it, and this girl has had too much party:
So your Tiger Woods. Your nice guy image is in tatters, your reputation need rebuilding. Your wife is leaving, and taking with her the kids and $300M. Pat Burns is on Montreal radio telling the world your gorgeous Swedish wife took a nine iron to your face before you got in the Cadillac, which she then took the nine iron to the windows of. What do you need to revive your image? How about a magazine cover with you looking like it was taken in the prison yard:
The world is upside down when I feel sorry for Tiger Woods.
The death of Johnson and Johnson heiress Casey Johnson may be one of the saddest spectacles you’ll ever witness. The 30 year old was found dead in her home and the death was announced by her “fiance”, reality star Tila Tequila. Tequila has been in a piddling match with blogger Perez Hilton and, in the illiterate twitterings of access hollywoods Billy Bush:
Gross… claims 2 b mourning fiancée but seems 2 b pumping her new gossip blog. (How come he can’t spell “to be” but can get the accented é in fiancée?)
Now Johnson’s longtime girlfriend Courtenay Semel, daughter of Terry Semel, the former chairman of both Yahoo! Inc. and Warner Bros., has lashed out at Teguila:
The thing I find the most sickening is that the media is giving [her] the one thing she craves: attention. Tila, you knew her for a week.
I understand her sentiment but, frankly, this whole thing is pretty sickening. If you take no other lesson from At Home in Hespeler kids, take this: if you seek fame regardless of price, don’t be surprised when the bill comes due and the cost is your dignity – in life and in death.
The above aside, this the sad death of a 30 year old woman. Her life was uneasy, with drugs, debt, estrangement from her family, a recent burglary charge. A woman who appeared to never got comfortable with life. Her family is apparently devastated, her father, Jets owner Woody Johnson, lost a brother to drug abuse in 1975, has now lost a daughter. It’s a sad story, and condolences to the people who loved Casey Johnson.
