No Academy Awards For You!

Britney, Paris and Pamela Anderson barred from the Oscars?

Britney Spears has reportedly been barred from the Oscars this weekend.

The pop babe is among a host of stars including Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson that organisers have snubbed in a bid to prevent the evening turning into a "downmarket scrum".

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Britney would have wanted her entourage with her but the Academy wanted to keep things as tight and as highbrow as possible.

"They plan to focus on those people who have worked in the film industry for years - not people who are merely celebrities in other areas."

But sources say the decision to ban certain stars is down to the fact that Hollywood's Kodak theatre holds less than half the capacity of previous venue, the Shrine Auditorium and claim that even high-profile stars are struggling to secure tickets for Sunday's (27.02.05) event.

Insiders have revealed that Destiny's Child star, Beyonce Knowles, who is performing at the movie ceremony, may attend the show alone after failing to arrange entry for fiancé Jay-Z.

The source added: "The Academy gets inundated with begging requests for tickets a year before the event.

"The Kodak theatre can't take more than 3,500 guests. Even Beyonce's boyfriend hasn't even received an invite."

I am sure the Porn Convertion in Vegas would be happy to have them I think those 3 are their top sellers of all time!

Countdown to the cries of racism in the Jay-Z case. I give it 34 hours.

Good. I have a whole list of people who should be banned from the oscars, including but not limited to:

Halle Barry for Catwoman.
Whoopi Goldberg.
Howie Mandel.
Hillary Swank. Even if she wins.
Jennifer Garner because of Elektra.
Ben Affleck because he's Ben Affleck.
Anyone who has ever guest starred on a Reality show of any sort.
Anyone who has ever hosted or been part of a show on MTV besides The State.
Any sports stars.
Any member of a pop/rock/folk group. ANY. Including Russel Crowe. Jack Black is ok though, because he's brilliant.

Also, the entire cast and crew of I <3 Huckabees should protest the Oscars for being snubbed. Particularly Jon Brion for not getting a best original soundtrack nod.

Ya know, they should just cancel the Oscars altogether. Buncha savages.

Perhaps we should start our own awards show!

What a great idea! We could call it the F13.net Screwed Awards, and we could give out the awards to all the movies that got overlooked by the academy and post it on the front page. Except Schild can't get to put anything from Japan or that was shown in a museum on there.

Pfffffft. Just because you didn't see any Japanese movies doesn't mean they didn't kick ass.

Apparently, the Acadamy wasn't able to keep Star Jones and Kathy Griffin away....though I guess they are just holding them and their E! show at bay on the red carpet.
