All of the world’s greatest thespians such as Meryl Streep, Jessica Chastain and Christoph Waltz were in attendance. Brandi Glanville was there too for some reason. Yes at the very same event where Charlton Heston and Marlon Brando accepted their respected Academy Awards, there was this desperate assisted reality star. That’s right the “actress” from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills managed to clear her schedule of whining over her divorce from 2009 to cover the Oscars as a special fashion correspondent. But we didn’t even get model Brandi Glanville from the 90′s, we were left with a broken 40-year-old Brandi Glanville who always claws for attention on RHOBH. Thankfully Brandi had a trick up her gown that would get as much attention as one of her petulant divorce rants. She pushed out all of her cleavage, much like...

The highlights of the video are so great. Bob Kraft dancing at :47 mark 1:19 – “Nut up or move on, buddy” 1:35 – “**** you, *****” I’ve got a whole new respect for actors…and people who read.  Its like English is Kraft’s second (or third) language. Is it me or is Lander not even that attractive?  Its like Kraft is trying to be like Tom Brady with a (not as good looking) look-a-like version of Giselle.  If Kraft really wanted his woman to get this part, he should just buy the movie studio or fund the whole thing.  Why is he wasting time with this auditioning crap?  What I love a Thu, 12 Jul 2012 11:55:25 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/bob_kraft_proves_that_men_will_do_just_about_anything_to_get_laid/11205457 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/bob_kraft_proves_that_men_will_do_just_about_anything_to_get_laid/11205457 Bob Kraft Proves That Men Will Do Just About Anything To Get Laid http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/bob_kraft_proves_that_men_will_do_just_about_anything_to_get_laid/11205457 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Thomas Langmann, producer of the movie The Artist, was heard speaking the following words before Academy Awards night. “My sh*t does'n work the night of the Academy Awards. My job is to get us a nomination. What happens after that is f***ing luck.” Luck was on his side, as The Artist won the award for best picture. However, what The Artist had accomplished would have stood out no matter what the outcome of the night. Think about it. A small market production (a budget of 15 million bucks) was able to compete against the big boys (Moneyball $50 million, War Horse $66 million, Hugo $170 million). Not having the money to snatch superstars like Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks, or Meryl Streep, Langmann started to look for market inefficiencies in the movie industry. You know, there are thousands of popcorn eaters out there who get impressed by flashy special effects. They have developed their own lingo over the years, and you can hear them referring to Dolby 5.1 or 3-D. But the f...

Twitter celebrated Melissa McCarthy’s nomination score for best supporting actress in slap-stick comedy Bridesmaids. Bridesmaids co-star Kristen Wiig (Saturday Night Live) also picked up a nomination for the film, which she co-wrote with Annie Mumolo. Meanwhile, Jonah Hill — also known for his resume of comedic performances, including Superbad and Get Him to the Greek — earned best supporting actor for his role in Moneyball. The film also earned nominations for best picture and best actor (Brad Pitt). The Academy typically honors dramatic films and its actors, but Bridesmaids has been heralded for its superb comedic writing and performances since it hit theaters in May 2011, so some expecte...

I'm sure most of you are unaware that the Golden Globes was last night mainly because there were other things on TV like football. Since I'm sure nobody actually watched them you want to know who won, which leads me to why I never watch them in the first place. For the movie categories the awards went to movies that I've never even heard of. Maybe I'm not cultured enough but I'll probably stick with the MTV Movie Awards for things I actually care about. But for those of you who need to know who won last night, here are the results: For Motion Pictures:Best Motion Picture - Drama: The DescendantsBest Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical: The ArtistBest Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama: George Clooney, The DescendantsBest Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama: Meryl Streep, The Iron LadyBest Director - Motion Picture: Martin Scorsese, HugoBest Performan...
