Many people enter an Oscar contest each year. Many fewer have any idea what they're doing. So allow me to present to you the current Oscar odds (yeah, you can bet on Oscar... you can't bet on damn near anything). This will tell you where picking an underdog is a good gamble versus where picking one is a big ol' mistake. I'm only listing nine categories so this doesn't go novella length. Here we go after the jump. Wheeee!

Jesus, how many more of these are left? Three hours sleep last night -- the insomnia is back -- but I'm feeling pretty good and rearin' to go.
Ryan starts out by saying that there are "three girls, and only one guy." The camera pans across their faces -- Jordin grins, Melinda fake-grins, LaKisha fake-grins, and Blake looks like you just told him you'd actually love it if he'd put it in your ass, and please don't use a condom, because it won't feel as good and it's not like you can get pregnant that way.
This is American Idol!
Oh man. Everyone's singing twice tonight. All the music comes from Barry Gibb, who I guess started as a member of the BeeGees, which makes sense because his initials are B.G. Huh. I feel like I learned something today. So basically, kids, prepare yourself for an evening of the songs your parents listen to. Or, for some of you, your grandparents, because your parents are, like, my age. Because I'm old. But let's not dwell on that.
Ryan's all like, "We are so going to run over time tonight. And that's awesome because it's my responsibility to keep us running on time, and I'm the one who takes shit in notes because Randy has to name-drop and Paula has to slur and then Simon has to berate everybody and every week, somehow, this is my fault. And yet, strangely, I still don't have a producer credit on this show. Can someone explain that? Seriously. Jesus."

I can't be snarky about this at all. I can barely bring myself to write about Amy Winehouse these days; she's such a talented young woman so close to death. Her mother sees that, too, and has published an open letter in News of the World to her daughter, as a last-ditch effort to reach out to her self-destructing daughter. The whole letter is heartbreaking.
Says her mum:
I hope it makes you realise that although you might be a superstar, you’re not superwoman.

I'm sorry to veer off the traditional menu of Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, but I absolutely adore Joni Mitchell. I grew up with my dad singing me Joni Mitchell songs to help me sleep. I think Blue is one of the greatest albums in the history of, well, the world. I've been listening to it since I was a little girl, and it never gets old.
So I was really excited to hear that, at age 63, Mitchell has released her first album of new songs in nearly a decade, Shine.
I'm listening to it...
In regards to this, Vanessa issued this statement today:
"I want to apologize to my fans, whose support and trust means the world to me. I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos. I am thankful for the support of my family and friends."
Vanessa, sweetheart, I think I speak for all of the country when I say: No need to apologize! We love it!
Also: Michelle Williams, Heath Ledger and Shaquille O'Neal would like to extend an extra heartfelt thanks for e...
Everyone's favorite MySpace slut is coming to MTV in the country's very first bi-sexual dating show.
Is it the world's very first bi-sexual dating show? I'm not sure. Perhaps another country beat us to the punch. Leave it to France, I bet.
Anyway, the show will be called A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, and debuts October 9.
It'll work like any other dating show, except 16 of the contestants will be straight or bisexual men, and 16 will be lesbian or bisexual women.

I just had to point this out to anyone who missed it, because I laughed for like an hour over this.
TMZ's a division of AOL/Time Warner, which has, you know, assets and stuff, so they can't exactly go around calling people big ole dykes, but they want you to know they know exactly what Queen Latifah's doing with her free time.
Her heinieness was seen power-walking in faaaaaaaabulous West Hollywood yesterday, with her perky lil' trainer/galpal.

Today, "Paris Hilton" issued the following statement. I am certain that Paris Hilton had absolutely nothing to do with this statement, as a) it is spelled correctly and b) Paris reportedly hasn't eaten or slept since she arrived at the Twin Towers medical facility on Friday afternoon. Various sources have described her as "a train wreck" and "teetering on the brink." I doubt she's issuing press statements in her spare time.
"Today I told my attorneys not to appeal the judge's decision. While I greatly appr...
It looks like they might. His regiment is due to begin a six-month tour of duty in Iraq within weeks. If deployed, Harry would be the first royal to serve in a war zone since his uncle, Prince Andrew, flew as a helicopter pilot in the Falklands conflict with Argentina in 1982 (remember that?). Although the final decision about what exactly Harry will be doing won't be made for a few days, the prince had a huge farewell party in London on Friday night, and gave a moving speech:
I'm prepar...
Paris Hilton will have to make time somewhere in her busy schedule of drinking, driving and dating a D-list celebrity to actually appear in a court room. Throughout all her legal woes the past few months -- her DUI and then, later, driving on a suspended license -- Paris has managed not to make a single appearance in court. Her lawyers handle it all for her. But an L.A. judge just ordered that a Media Field Day be held on May 4: he's requiring that Hilton herself show up in his court room. P...
She missed her calling. Her true genius lies in the written word. Responding to reports that she had gastric bypass surgery, Courtney responds, and I quote:
