Will they make Will Smith return his hot dog?
I’m absolutely not in the mood. I’ve made it clear that I’m not discussing that topic any further.

I have a question for Hollywood: Why do you invite comedians that make horrible jokes at your expense to your most important awards ceremony? Comedians to lighten the mood, sure. Comedians that are known for over-the-top mean-spirited jabs??? I don't get it. I have never found that stuff funny, and I don't understand why it has always been a presence at the award shows. That's probably why I don't watch and just google the results the next morning.

I mean bringing up award weiners during an academy award discussion I figured it was quite on point.
She doesn't own the dress. The designers always have celebrities wear their dresses to events to show off their designs. The designers then get the coverage from the likes of Bazaar and other fashion magazines. She might as well be covered in corporate logos.It's a great question. I forget where I read it in all the analysis over the last 72 hours, but I guess it's part of Hollywood allowing themselves to be poked fun of to make them more relatable to Mr. and Mrs. America.
These are all some of the wealthiest, and definitely the most privileged people in America, and thus the world. They are fawned after, coddled, babied and obsessed over most of the year. They just arrived at the most lavish party Hollywood throws, and as one example the megabucks couture gown that Jada Smith was wearing that night probably cost more than most American's new cars and could fund years of college for an Iowa plumber's daughter or trade school for his son.
Jada Pinkett Smith had never been "so excited and happy" trying on Oscars dress
Her stylist, Georgia Medley, says it was the actress' number one choice
Will and Jada Smith are the epitome of that wealth, extreme privilege, and fawning adoration. Part of the deal is they get poked fun of at awards shows and TV talk show monologues.
It's a decades old tradition. Dating back to Lenny Bruce and Don Rickles, and on through Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts, Andrew Dice Clay, Lewis CK, and now the likes of Kathy Griffin, Dave Chappelle, and Chris Rock.
It's why the Academy specifically invited Chris Rock to host the segment with the biggest awards towards the end of the night. Hollywood's brightest stars know it's part of the gig.
Maybe it is with others. Not with me.
Hollywoodland is for me the land that hasn't grown into its own since DCA 2.0. They did the bare minimum to bring it forward and it's a shame given all that wasted space.
It’s the one piece of the original DCA that really hasn’t been touched and wasn’t included in the park’s remake, for whatever reason. For this reason, it’s the weakest area of the park, by far. Sad, because there’s a lot of potential there with the theme of the land, but Disney doesn’t seem to care.

>>In a preview clip of Packer’s upcoming interview on “Good Morning America” with T.J. Holmes, he revealed that the Los Angeles Police Department was on the scene Sunday night and ready to arrest Smith if Rock wanted to press charges.
“They were saying, you know, this is battery, was a word they used in that moment. They said we will go get him. We are prepared. We’re prepared to get him right now. You can press charges,” Packer said. “They were laying out the options. And as they were talking, Chris was — he was being very dismissive of those options. He was like, ‘No, no, no, I’m fine.’ And even to the point where I said, ‘Rock, let them finish.’ The LAPD officers finished laying out what his options were and they said, ‘Would you like us to take any action?’ And he said no. He said no.”
