While You Were Sleeping: The Heath Ledger Investigation

Brian Fairbanks — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:33:00 GMT

James Franco denies the shirt he wears in Pineapple Express is "stolen."

Betty White and Rue McClanahan both avoided Estelle Getty's funeral.

Shia Labeouf will not, as previously rumored, lose a finger.

Even some offensive jokes are too offensive for Bob Saget: he has lashed out at an eating disorder joke and other comments made at the expense of the Olsen twins during his own Comedy Central roast.

Celebrity Hero of the Day: Kirk Douglas, who has long fought for an official US apology for slavery, is thrilled that the House has passed a fitting resolution.

A judge tossed Lisa Marie's lawsuit against ex-boyfriend Tim Burton, which comes as no surprise.

The paparazzi have yet to capture Nicole Kidman's phantom baby. In a photograph, of course.

Can you believe the cast Chicago director Rob Marshall assembled for his new musical, Nine: Daniel Day Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Kate Hudson, Dame Judi Dench, and Sophia Loren... for starters. There's also some guy named Fellini who's working on the screenplay...

The Heath Ledger investigation has closed. It's unclear whether Mary-Kate Olsen's refusal to testify is a reason investigators ended their search, for lack of evidence.

Scanner Highs and Lows: A Whole Lotta Love

Emily Farris — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 21:48:00 GMT

We were full of love at Scanner this week. And, really, how could we not be?

Highs:

We fell in love with Oscar winner and hottie Marion Cotillard.

We declared our love for Javier Bordem, who did not win the Oscar.

Do Scanner readers love brains more than boobs?

Whether we have reason to be freaked out by birth control pills that make our periods go away for long periods of time, we're holding onto our right to be freaked out by them. Even if a few readers disagree. Also, we're highly amused by SNL skits starring Tina Fey, especially if they concern said birth control pills.

We started a campaign to recruit Tina Fey for Oscars' host in 2009... because we love her.

Lows:

We admitted, yet again, to loving "Sex and the City," and probably lost some friends for it, yet again.

A seven-year-old took crack to school. And no, he wasn't related to us.

Ginnifer Flowers came back into our lives.

Zubas. Back. Nuff said.

We learned that trying to create the perfect woman ends in disaster. Freaky, scary disaster.

We may be shuffling Prince off to the retirement home soon.

Crush of the Week: Marion Cotillard

Bryan Christian — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 23:30:00 GMT

A few hours ago, we said that it was pretty much neck-and-neck between Marion Cotillard, Jennifer Garner, and Renee Zellweger as to who looked the best last night. After much careful scrutiny, we're of the opinion that we didn't know what the hell we were talking about back then; it's Cotillard all the way.

Not that Garner and Zellweger didn't look great. They did, truly, particularly Garner, who probably missed a nomination of her own by a hair's breadth and celebrated by going with a dark, sensuous look that risked severity -- which we're led to believe is a no-no for young nominated actresses -- but came off razor-sharp and smokin' hot. To paraphrase our good pal Lindsay Lohan, she was like "Yeah, motherfuckers, I'm fine."

So how did Cotillard win our hearts? Well, perhaps unfairly, by winning the Oscar. Have you watched this moment carefully? (You can, down below.) We're not talking about her speech, you understand, but just before she gets to the microphone. Those few seconds where, as she climbs the steps to the stage, her hands first are on her mouth in an expression of her shock, but then she bends down and tugs at her dress -- the fabric bunching over her scissoring hips, every angle and curve of her body and that Jean-Paul Gaultier dress electric with her surprise -- and then one hand returns briefly to her lips -- is she laughing or crying? -- before both finally landing on Oscar and Forest Whitaker, those lucky bastards. You know, that moment. It's a sweet, triumphant, and utterly unintentional moment of erotic charge. And we're not sure if anyone else could have brought that to the proceedings.

And for that, she is our Crush of the Week.

We Were Vaguely Right About the Academy Awards

Bryan Christian — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 05:01:00 GMT

Sure, we we didn't go category by category or anything in our predictions, but still: in a general sense, we did pretty good, right? Throw in a Marion Cotillard and we'd almost be sorry we didn't bet in any office pools. Complete list of winners after the jump.

Hey, speaking of Ms. Cotillard: for our money, it's pretty much dead even between her, Jennifer Garner, and Renee Zellweger as to who looked the best last night -- which surprises us because we tend to find Zellweger a bit blah. (And yeah, all the ladies dressing for two looked great -- but none of them really floored us.) What did you guys think?
