The Razzie nominations are in

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

I Know Who Killed Me is leading the Razzie nominations for 2007, the Razzie awards are always handed out prior to the Oscars to the worst performances in movies. I Know Who Killed Me has been nominated a total of nine times for Worst Screen Couple, Horror Movie, Screenplay, Director, Remake/Rip-Off, Supporting Actress, Actress (twice) and Picture.

This means that Lindsay Lohan was nominated twice for the same movie; seeing she played two characters. Other starlets nominated are Jessica Alba (for Awake, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Good Luck Chuck), Elisha Cuthbert (for Captivity) and Jessica Biel (for I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry and Next). Lindsay is even nominated as the worst screen couple, that must be a first for the razzies, one person nominated as a couple.

Their nomination system is a bit odd, seeing Lindsay was nominated for one movie twice and Jessica Alba was nominated once for three movies. Though I Know Who Killed Me was an especially bad movie. So it wouldn’t be a shocker if she walked away with the razzie.

Though people rarely pick them up, so I don’t expect to see Lindsay there.

Edition 17: The Bad Habit

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

Mischa Barton, Thora Birch, Kaley Cuoco, Elisha Cuthbert, Kirsten Dunst, Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley, Lindsay Lohan, Jena Malone, Mandy Moore, Hayden Panettiere, Natalie Portman, Brittany Snow and Michelle Trachtenberg. Those are the names linked on starletlinks.com that are proven to be smokers. This means that of the names linked on the site in the age category over 16, 35% smokes. This is higher than the average in the normal population, the normal number for women in the United States is 22%.

Some things I have to say before going further into this is that these are the people that are proven to smoke. There might be others that do a very good job of hiding it. And of course I also don’t know how much these people smoke, they could be social smokers. But one thing is certain, they do smoke. Personally I think it’s a horrible habit; though I have personal reasons for that. But I don’t think any less of people that do smoke.

But why is the percentage of smokers so high in Hollywood? And why do they start so young? I think there are multiple reasons, I remember an interview with Shannon Doherty, she’s way past the starlet age but it does show a point. She once had to smoke in a role; she liked it so she kept doing it. I don’t know how often this happens but it shows it does happen.

At first she denied it but these days she can be spotted holding a cigarette quite frequently.

Edition 9: Big Cars; Small Girls

Saturday, June 9th, 2007

Lindsay Lohan once again crashed a car as we all know and we already went into that, now we’re going to talk about the cars. She crashed this specific car, a Mercedes SL65, multiple times. It made me think, why do people like Lindsay and her colleagues in both age range and occupation drive cars that are way too big and fast for them?

Lindsay has had multiple cars in her not that long driving career. She pretty much started off with a Mercedes SL55 but traded that in when the SL65 came out. The only real difference between those two cars is the engine; the SL65 has more power and is a bit faster to 60mph. The top speed is the same, German car makers (except for Porsche and Audi on their top of the range sport models) all limit their cars to 155mph. So why even bother getting a SL65 instead of a SL55?

It’s just a car that’s easier to crash because the electronics can handle the power of the engine in the SL55 but they can’t in the SL65. And I’ve seen pictures of Lindsay getting into that car on flip-flops, that’s asking for trouble. And the car is available with a V6, if you tell your local Mercedes dealer to make it look like an AMG they will. So there really isn’t a need to drive a car like the SL65. But she already has a new car besides that SL65; it’s a Porsche Carrera convertible. At least that’s a car that manages to get its power onto the road. Unless Lindsay finds out there’s a tuner in Germany that will modify it to 900bhp and 250mph.
