Obamamania!

It's hard to know whether some sort of Hollywood award show is happening tomorrow in Washington D.C., or if it is actually the long awaited inauguration!  The celebrities have decended upon Washington D.C. in support of the inauguration of our nation's 44th president, Barack Obama.  A two hour live broadcast on HBO called We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration which aired Sunday brought out such stars as U2, Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce, Tom Hanks, Sheryl Crowe, Denzel Washington, Mary J Blige.

Also, in a Nickelodeon sponsored Kids' Inaugural Concert, hosts will include Queen Latifa and Rosario Dawson.  Performances will be given by Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers (or the Jo Bros, as they're known at my house), Demi Lovato, and Usher.

I do think in the midst of this star studded fabulous-ness, it's important to recognize the impact of this time, and also to note the proximity of this inauguration of our first African-American president to a day that honors a man who worked so hard to make such a thing possible, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  Please, even if you have not been given the day off from work on this important national holiday, take a moment to reflect on the work of MLK, especially in light of the occasion tomorrow.  He would be so proud.

Seriously, Amy?

Even though Amy Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil has filed for divorce, Winehouse says she won't let him divorce her. 

This begs the question, why would you want to stay married to someone who doesn't want to be married to you?  Discuss...

You shouldn't have quit your day job...

Joaquin Phoenix.  Remember that he recently announced that he was retiring from acting?  Well apparently this is his next career move.  I can't say I think it's his calling... you be the judge.
