I agree with the selection of Jackman and the tie in that he is the "Sexiest Man Alive." Obviously the Academy is really trying to get viewers for the broadcast since last year they really stayed away. Although I think a lot of it had to do with the writers strike because people got out of the habit of watching tv. Even if he is a dismal host, he is at least good looking so I look forward to it.

It's about time that everyone acknowledges Kate for the actress that she is! It seems that every year there is an actress that is the darling of the public's eye in terms of the Academy Awards, last year it was Marion Cotillard, two years ago it was Helen Mirren, three years ago it was Reese...and it's about time that Kate is getting the credit she deserves. I know that we talk about her incessantly but she is just so talented and this year especially because she has two great films out that could win her not one, but two Oscars.

HOORAY, as of 12 noon Barack Obama was the 44th President of the United States. I watched at work and I was so excited to see it. Although I will say from the gay standpoint he still needs to do some work on GLBT issues. There has been a lot of controversy concerning his selection of Rick Warren to do the prayer at the inauguration since Warren has filled his speeches with homophobic material. He is also pro-life, favors creationism over evolution and described the removal of Terri Schaivo's feeding tube as a sin comparable to nazism, keep in mind I'm talking about Warren, not Obama. I like Obama and I have a lot of faith in his as a president. I just hope that he does more to advance civil equality in the LGBT community as well as repairing the rift between other groups as well. It may seem like I'm asking for too much, but he is the President of the United States.

So, in other news Kelly Clarkson's new song is out and I love it! "My Life Would Suck Without You" is like a sequel to "Since U Been Gone" and it is already #12 on the iTunes charts. Yay for Kelly!

So, LK did you hear that "If U Seek Amy" is Britney's next single, but when it is shipped to radio it will be called "If U See Amy" because many parents criticized the fact that the title sounds very much like "F-U-CK-Me." Oh well, I'm just excited for the video and am sure that it will be another big hit for Miss Comeback of 2008!
