Did you see Jennifer Lopez in her film El Cantante? No? Me either, in fact I had never even heard of the movie until I came across her whining about how she deserves an award for the movie.
In the new issue of Latina Magazine, Lopez opens up about being married to Marc Anthony, having children and past relationships. But of course she being who she is, has to talk about her fame and how she feels got robbed of an award.
Why El Cantante was Oscar Worthy: “I feel like I had that [Oscar worthy role] in El Cantante, but I don’t even think the academy members saw it. I feel like it’s their responsibility to do that, to see everything that’s out there, everything that could be great. Well, it is a little bit frustrating. It was funny; when the Oscars were on, I had just given birth on the 22nd, and the Oscars, I think, were a day or two later. I was sitting there with my twins—I couldn’t have been happier—but I was like, ‘How dope would it have been if I would’ve won the Oscar and been here in my hospital bed accepting the award?’ ‘Thank you so much! I just want to thank the academy!’ But we joked about it. It’s all good. Things will happen when they’re supposed to happen. I have the utmost faith and no doubt that it will one day, when and if it’s supposed to. You can’t get all crazy twisted over it.â€
On Fame: “Your world becomes smaller, so yeah, it is a weird reality. You stop doing things like having a key in your pocket, opening the door for yourself because you become so busy. All of a sudden, somebody takes that over for you. You do lose touch a little bit; anybody who says they don’t is a liar. Your life is not like a person who goes to work, opens their door, goes to the grocery store. I lived that life for 20-something years, and now my life is different, but I have my foot in both worlds. I have found myself lately saying it needs to be more simple. I can’t have all these people around, especially once you have children. I’ve been able to always keep a good perspective. I’ve never, thank God, gone completely off into the stratosphere. I’m not saying I haven’t had my moments [laughs], but I’m always able to come back.â€
Again, I’ve never seen the film nor did I know it existed. For some reason though I just don’t see Jennifer Lopez up on stage accepting an Oscar and I certainly don’t see her doing it from the hospital bed after having twins. As for her quote on how she still thinks she is normal .. no comment from me.

Okay I have two different sets of Lindsay Lohan pictures that I want you to tell me what she looks like, in the first she is posing for some art photography shot called Room 23, I myself think she looks like a cheap you know what, getting ready for the night out on the roads.
The second is of Lindsay at the Mercedes-Benz Oscar Party in Beverly Hills last night looking like, well nothing. She is getting way too skinny again, like how she used to be a couple of years back.
As for looking to skinny she told E! it is stress and she is still eating, “I haven’t changed my eating habits, I go to yoga once a week, but I don’t go more than that because I’m too lazy.”
As for that stress she is is talking about, she says she is stressed because she has “a lot of meetings for movies and stuff,” she also says she is working on a self tanning line and a diamond jewelry line.

Well maybe that is how Lindsay Lohan will earn her money, from her leggings line and a tanning line, because we all know she has no movies coming up. Answer my question… what does she look like?
Well you better make the most of seeing those pictures because according to Kate it will be the last you will see of her body.
The actress who has already been naked in 10 movies, including Titanic which she appeared in the famous painting scene says:
“I think I won’t again (get naked). I can’t keep getting away with it. I don’t want to become ‘that actress who always gets her kit off.”
“Everyone always asks me about nudity because I guess I’ve taken my clothes off in almost every movie I’ve done. But in each case, the nudity has been there for a reason. Frankly, I hate every second. But I can’t stand seeing a film and thinking, why is that woman having sex in all her clothes? She should be naked.”
“I was struck to discover that I was truly the same person back then. But in the diary, I write several times, ‘I’m not sure I should really be working. I’ve got to learn more. I have to catch up with myself.’ Well, I feel I’ve caught up with myself now. With these roles, I’ve just closed a big chapter in my life. I feel that only in the last two years could I look someone in the eye and say, ‘I know how to act’ and really maybe mean it. (pauses) Notice I said maybe.â€
Well that sucks, because I really enjoy seeing her naked body. Kate Winslet is nominated for an Oscar during Sundays Academy Awards.
She really, really wants one. And if the Golden Globe nominations are anything to go by, she might just get one.
Kate Winslet stars in Revolutionary Road
Last month Vanity Fair askedKate Winslet if she’d like an Oscar. She would, she said. In fact she said: “You bet your f#king ass.”
There’s bound to have been an actress who wanted an Academy award more desperately than Winslet. But there’s surely never been one who’s fessed up to the desire more frankly.
That big, gold shadow has long hung over her, from the moment she became, at 22, the youngest woman to receive two Oscar nominations. Currently, her tally is five. But if Academy voters follow in the footsteps of the foreign press who tick the forms for the Golden Globes, then she’ll rack up another couple – making her the youngest ever actress to have gained seven.
Ever the practical-minded gal, Winslet has been forthright about the prize-pressure under which she finds herself. Remember her spoofy turn in the first series of Extras, playing herself, playing a nun under Nazi occupation – purely, she says, with the intention of getting her paws on a little yellow man?
This year, she’s taking a belt-and-braces approach, giving barnstorming performances in both Revolutionary Road and The Reader. Both are films with Oscar firmly in their crosshairs: released at exactly the right time of year, adapted from acclaimed novels (by Richard Yates and Bernard Schlink respectively), and directed by Brit heavyweights (Winslet’s husband, Sam Mendes, and Stephen Daldry).
Kate Winslet with Leonardo DiCaprio in Revolutionary Road (2008)
In the former she plays an emergent feminist battling husband Leonardo DiCaprio in 50s suburbia (the film plays like some fantastically mannered east-coast episode of Eastenders). And in The Reader (rather remarkably, in light of her Extras turn) she’s an ex-Nazi prison guard who has a fling with a schoolboy and struggles to overcome her illiteracy in post-war Germany.
It’s a performance that’s already stoked controversy for the full-frontal scenes deemed by some critics to cast Nazis in too sexy a light. And, indeed, there is something amusingly porn-ish about the initial erotic encounter (naughty schoolboy fetches older lady some coal, gets mucky, has a bath, etc).
But that controversy looks now to be overshadowed by a more prosaic one. Winslet is being put forward by the film’s distributors not for the best actress accolade, but best supporting actress. It seems, if you’ve seen the film, like potty logic. She’s unquestionably the star: the titular character, the actor with the most screen time, the centre of the whole enterprise.
In an excellent piece on spout.com, Christopher Campbell discusses the ins and outs of the Weinstein brothers’ decision; the precedents and the rules. Could it be because she’s guaranteed a best actress nod on Revolutionary Road?
What do you think? Does it matter? And what of the Golden Globe noms in general? Any notable omissions? Or are they just a wearisome warm-up for the main event?
