I hadn’t realized it.  And I’m sure most of the people watching hadn’t realized it.  But amongst those deceased who were honored at this year’s Oscars there was one glaring omission.

Ryan O’Neal is drafting a letter to the members of the Academy to complain about the fact his longtime lover Farrah Fawcett was omitted from the Oscars In Memoriam tribute to dead stars.

Oscars bosses are refusing to accept the omission was “an oversight,” insisting not every deceased star makes the list for the tribute.

Refusing to say it was an oversight? Well that’s even worse for O’Neal to stomach. I would think that Fawcett merited a mention no? After all she was one of the original Angels and considered to be one of the hottest women of the late 70s and early 80s.

This isn’t a knock on other deceased actors who have been honored at the Oscars but there have been way less famous and influential people mentioned in the past. I think O’Neal has a good point and I too would be curious to know about the omission.

I think it is crazy how much of a transformation that Jenny Humphrey, played by Taylor Momsen, on Gossip Girl has made since the first episode of Gossip Girl. She is no longer that little insecure girl.  Her character now has a serious attitude and apparently in real life she has one too.

We have all seen pictures of this 16-year-old smoking cigarettes.  When you have children watching a show with a young girl that they may look up to, having pictures out there of her smoking is not the greatest thing.  People often follow what is in the media, and if you are going to be an actress, I personally think that you should care how people perceive you.

The 16-year-old ‘Gossip Girl’ actress doesn’t care people have criticised her for smoking cigarettes because she lives her life how she wants to and insists she isn’t bothered about how she is perceived.

She said: “I smoke, so what? Why do people give a s**t what a 16-year-old girl who they’ve never met does? It’s not like I’m sitting there going, ‘Kids, you should go buy a pack of cigarettes.’

“When I walk outside with a cigarette and someone takes a picture of it and puts it on the internet, it’s not my problem. I’m just living my life and I’m not gonna live my life for other people.

“I don’t read that c**p that describes me as having an attitude, but I don’t know why that’s a bad thing. I didn’t get into this to be a role model for seven-year-olds. I have no interest in doing that.”

Momsen isn’t my favorite person on the show so I’m not surprised that she has a bad attitude.  She should care about this.  When you are a celebrity, you need to understand that your privacy is going to be invaded and people are going to talk.  It just comes with the package.  She is being ignorant for saying that she is just living her life.  Come on, she is 16, she shouldn’t be smoking cigarettes anyway, she isn’t even of age.

I don’t know what prostitute takes $40 for sex but apparently D’Angelo thought that was enough.  He offered to pay an undercover cop posing as a prostitute the low fee of $40.  Sex shouldn’t be for sale anyway, but come on now… $40 is pretty damn low, right?

The 36-year-old R&B singer was arrested early Saturday while cruising in his Range Rover on Greenwich and Horatio Streets. D’Angelo, whose real name is Michael Archer, also had $12,000 dollars in cash when he was busted.

The Grammy Award winner pleaded not guilty and plans to fight the charge.

In a statement, the D’Angelo says he hopes the public will “allow the American justice system to resolve the matter before jumping to any conclusions.”

I feel bad for celebrities sometimes in cases like this.  Had this been anyone else, it wouldn’t be all over the news.  Hopefully this doesn’t ruin his career, which I doubt it will, but still… I don’t think he needs to pay for sex.  I’m sure lots of his fans would gladly take on that task free of charge.

I still can’t believe that Michael Jackson is really dead.  It is hard to even think that on June 25th it will be a year that he is gone.  He will ALWAYS be the king of pop and no one will ever replace him.  His brother, Jermaine Jackson, has booked London’s Wembley Arena on June 8th.  It will be called “Tribute By Jermaine“.

Although no actual performers have been announced yet, the tribute is promised to be a star-studded event. The tribute will be filmed and is expected to be released on DVD. Jermaine’s goal is to create the largest tribute of all time, something he feels very fitting for his brother. Michael’s dedicated fans would probably agree.

This sounds like it is going to be an awesome show and very meaningful. Hopefully Jermaine is really in this whole thing to remember his brother and not in it for the money as some people think. I don’t think he is in it for the money at all. It’s his brother for God’s sake. Family means the world to me, so I just can’t see it that way at all.

Anyway, I am looking forward to this tribute as I am sure a lot of MJ fans are. Every tribute so far has been so incredibly emotional that I will be sure to have a box of tissues at my side for this one.

Let’s take a moment to remember how talented and unique MJ was with some of his kick ass videos… after the jump.

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel haven’t been on tour since 2003. I am happy to hear that they are reuniting once again and have confirmed that they will be indeed heading back out on tour.

The Bridge Over Troubled Water singers will play 13 North American dates in April and May (10), which will begin with a headlining spot at New Orleans’ Jazz & Heritage Festival in Louisiana on 24 April (10).

The duo, who initially split in 1970, will play shows in Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Michigan before crossing the border to play concerts in Canada.

I know they are known for The Bridge Over Troubled Water, but my favorite song of theirs will always be The Sound Of Silence. I would do anything to see them perform that song.  These tickets are probably going to be really hard to get our hands on!

How good is this song??

Jason Mesnick is famous for his tears, as we all know.  He got to tell his fairy tale love story with Molly on The Bachelor: Jason & Molly’s Wedding on ABC.  I am very happy for all of the successful Bachelor couples.  It is nice to see Trista and Ryan still together, with kids, and glowing with love. They were the first couple from the first season of The Bachelor and how amazing that they are still in love and the show really worked for them.

They showed us other couples of course. Vienna and Jake were shown and it was before the finale of Jake’s season was aired, so their relationship was still hush hush. They looked so happy together. I really do think now that Jake did pick the right girl. He really doesn’t seem like such a dork anymore now that he is with Vienna. They laugh so much when they’re together, it is so cute.

I’m sure most of you already know by now, but Ms. Bigelow basically kicked her ex husband’s ass last night at the Oscars.

The big winner at the 82nd Academy Awards was not the man whose blue aliens have made $2.5 billion worldwide but Kathryn Bigelow, the director of “The Hurt Locker,” which beat out “Avatar” for Best Picture and Best Directing.

But it’s not only that. I have to say, didn’t Bigelow look pretty good? She’s kind of attractive for a best director. Most women directors aren’t exactly pleasing to the eyes and Bigelow will make a fantastic poster child for aspiring women directors out there.

I mean seriously.  The woman is nearly 60 years old.  Yes, almost 60.  I’m surprised no one mentioned this yesterday.   She easily passes for mid 40s cougar.

Anyway, congrats to Bigelow and hopefully great new films to come.

Jason Derulo rules at only 20 years old.  His new song In My Head, which he performed on Ellen, is awesome.  I love the sound and you can’t help but love him.

He isn’t one of those super cheesy performers, I love his style.  It’s a little Justin Timberlake-esque… but better.  His music is definitely going to be played in the clubs, it is perfect to primp to and dance to.  He is a brand new artist and he is already topping the charts alongside Rihanna.  Nice!  He is going places for sure.

The only bad thing I have to say about him is the fact that on at least 3 of his songs he sings his name in the beginning.  Like come on dude… you want us to know you by your music or because you’re telling us your name?

This season’s group of celebrities and their pro partner’s pictures were revealed. They are: Shannen Doherty and Mark Ballas Jr., Niecy Nash and Louis Van Amstel, Aiden Turner and Edyta Sliwinska, Chad Ochocinco and Cheryl Burke, Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya .

Pamela Anderson and Damian Whitewood, Buzz Aldrin and Ashly DelGrosso Costa, Jake Pavelka and Chelsie Hightower, Kate Gosselin and Tony Dovolani, Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough.

What bothers me is that Kate Gosselin is on this season. Really? Why is she famous again? Oh for having 20,000 kids… right. So stupid. Also, Jake Pavelka is on as well. Where is Vienna going to be during all of this? Is she really going to sit on the side and watch him dance with his beautiful partner Chelsie Hightower? I don’t think so. She will most likely be making a new frenemy.

Better pictures of the couples after the jump.

Precious star, Gabourey Sidibe, looked ginormous great on the red carpet last night… not.  How much fabric did that take to make her dress?  I don’t even know or care what she had to say on the red carpet with Ryan Seacrest but she did say something that made my friend say something pretty damn funny.  She says, “I’m a normal person..”  No idea what she was referring to but my friend said, “No you’re not, you ate a normal person”.

Then they switch and show Jay Manuel, the guy with the white/gray hair, (why is his hair that color by the way?) from America’s Next Top Model and Giuliana Rancic from Giuliana and Bill. The two of them agree with each other and think she is SO cute.  Really?  How is that possible?  And who the hell designed Sidibe’s dress and how long did that take?
