DISH: White House Security did not check Oscar envelope
It's pretty unbelievable that any package, even a high-profile Oscar envelope, would reach the first lady without being thoroughly checked first.
A rep for the Academy said Monday:
"First Lady Michelle Obama was the first and only person to open the Best Picture envelope. [PriceWaterhouseCoopers] accountants are the only individuals who have knowledge of the results prior to their live reveal on the Oscars."
Jennifer Aniston won't do lunch!
Jennifer Aniston is reportedly acting like she's above the rest of the cast and crew on her latest movie.
Aniston is in Connecticut filming a movie with Isla Fisher, Tim Robbins and Will Forte.
A source claims they're sick of Aniston, though:
"Every day at lunch the entire cast and crew head to a cafeteria facility where they all sit down and eat lunch together for well over an hour. But the only person who doesn't eat with everyone else is Jen. She quickly grabs a lunch to go and leaves."
Also:
"All the actors ride in normal production vans when they head to lunch, but Jen has her own luxury SUV. And not only is Jen's private trailer miles away from the set, but she heads all the way back there each day to eat her lunch away from everyone else. Her behavior is a clear indicator to everyone that she's not approachable."
'X Factor:' Could Pink replace Britney Spears?
Who will replace Britney Spears as a judge on "The X Factor?"
We've seen plenty of rumors pop up, from Ne-Yo to Lady Gaga, but the Daily Star of the UK says Pink could be taking Britney's spot.
If true, that would mark a change of heart for the singer, who previously told Australia's Herald Sun:
"I was offered The Voice in Australia plus American Idol and The X Factor. I said no because you can't be honest. People will hate you if you're honest. Simon Cowell is the only person who gets away with it because he's got an accent. And he's a man. People would just hate me more than they already do. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. Besides, you can sing karaoke anywhere."
