Good for Eddie.

The hasty departures represented an embarrassing collapse of the Academy’s plans for the Oscar presentation and left it with just over three months to fill key roles for one of the most elaborately staged television shows of the year.

The Oscars could always hire the newly formed, Cain Gold Digger Tap Dance Troupe. I'm pretty sure Allred could get them to do the show pretty cheap.

Ratner obviously was pushed aside after his (admittedly improper and rude) faux pas; point being, the PC Police wouldn’t accept his apology and move on. Oh no; they had to have his head, too.

I don’t think Murphy is anti-gay or (despite his early standup history) approves of the word Ratner used, but he figures (as I do) that Ratner’s being forced out is an overreaction.

So although the various press releases “make nice” and “air kiss,” this is a big F You Too from Murphy, and I can’t say that I disagree. Everyone slips up and say a stupid things sometimes that they don’t even mean.

Well, Eddie might be gay but he’s never been funny.

Feces

That is the main word that comes to mind when I see the word gay....

[Hatteras]

So what was the slur?

[Mashood]

Shalom, Eddie.

Using Teabagger , is good.

Using the word fag , is bad.

Sean Penn was probably picketing the Kodak Theater.

Remember the uproar? Yeah, neither do I.

...TOO HOT IN THE HOT TUB...

[Revolting cat!]

Hollywood is for fags. Has been for a long time.

He was doing some interview recently and for some reason, it seemed like he was entirely unethusiastic about the Oscars. It almost seems with the benefit of 20-20 hindsight that he might have been glad for any excuse to drop out.

"The audience for the Oscars has been shrinking. In 1995 almost 49 million viewers tuned in to watch “Forrest Gump” be named best picture, and in 1998, a peak year, more than 57 million viewers in the United States saw the top prize go to “Titanic.”

Is it just me, or is this really sh!tty writing? Number of viewers is down, then cite number that go up! Where's that duck that goes GAAAK?
