Adam Sandler Breaks Record With 11 Razzie Nominations

Here's to just going with it, Adam Sandler!


On the eve of the best, comes the worst, and leave it to the 32nd annual Golden Raspberry Awards, better known as the Razzies, to point out the worst of the worst—and it's looking like a record breaker for funnyman Sandler.


The actor broke the bad kind of record Saturday evening with the announcement of the 2012 Razzie nominations, which honor the worst accomplishments in film. Sandler garnered a grand total of 11 noms (Eddie Murphy's old record was 5!) for his work as an actor, writer and producer on flicks Jack and Jill, Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star and Just Go With It.  

10 Things You Gotta Know About Oscar Night


Billy Crystal's back. The Artist's out front. 
Anything else you need to know about tonight's 84th Annual Academy Awards?
Lots. From the looks of things, you're in for a crazy, or just plain maddening night.

1. The Snub of All Snubs?!
So, for all intent and purpose, The Artist is on track to become the box office's least-popular Best Picture winner of at least the last 30 years. (We're not counting The Hurt Locker because it was out of theaters when awards season arrived.) Paying audiences are saying loud and clear they're not into the silent movie. They are, however, into Uggie—and, really, who isn't? The Academy, apparently. Word is the furry face of the film will neither be on the red carpet nor at the show. Perhaps we're all being set up for a pleasant surprise, but if not, it's a head-scratcher of a slight.

Adam Sandler Sets Record For Worst Movie


When Adam Sandler's bad, he's really bad, according to voters for the Razzies, an Academy Awards spoof that singles out the worst movies of the year.
Sandler received a record 11 nominations Saturday for the Razzies as star, producer or writer on three 2011 movies – "Jack and Jill," "Just Go with It" and "Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star."
That more than doubled the previous record of five Razzie nominations held by Eddie Murphy for 2007's "Norbit."

Morning Mail! Who's Sneaking Around With Zac Efron?

Dear Ted:
I was just watching Zac Efron's interview with Ellen DeGeneres and when she asked him about how he spent his Valentine's Day he played it very coy and appeared to be hinting he was with a significant other. Being my No. 1 source for all things gossip, I had to ask you: What's the deal there? Does he have a beau but is just trying to keep it under wraps?

Chris Brown & Rihanna Reuniting on American Idol?!

American Idol producers are in talks with Chris Brown and Rihanna about possibly performing together on the show this season, a source close to the situation exclusively tells E! News.
"They want Chris and Rihanna to reunite on the show," the insider says. If they were to duet on Idol, it would be their first public appearance together (on purpose, at the same time), let alone their first live collaboration, since early 2009, when Brown was arrested for assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
Wow, how do you think the people who object to their latest projects together will react to that?!
The last time they appeared onstage together was in 2008—and, judging by the controversy kicked up by Brown's performance (and win) at the Grammys this month, plenty of critics would react harshly to the pair collaborating on stage.

Eva Longoria Hope for a Brighter Future for Latinas


Eva Longoria

I was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas, just a few hours from the U.S.-Mexico border. My family has lived there for nine generations, under multiple flags. As a Mexican-American growing up in a city with a large, established Hispanic community, my hybrid identity was not unique; many friends and classmates experienced a similar cultural mix. Growing up in this vibrant community left me with a strong desire to give back to them in the same way that they gave to me.
My childhood foreshadowed the direction we are moving as a nation. It is no secret that the U.S. Latino population is expanding -- we currently number more than 50 million and will account for 60% of the nation's population growth through 2050. Throughout our country, Latinos live in and contribute to, an increasingly diverse America. And for women especially, balancing the demands of intertwined cultures can be challenging.

The sprawling Dallas home of Mary Kay Ash, founder of the immense Mary Kay cosmetics empire, can now be yours for a mere $3.3 million. Not sure whether a gigantic mansion made of pink is worth that much? Encompassing over 11,800 sq. ft., you'd only be shelling out around $278 for each square foot. That's not so expensive, right? That price point is quite a steal when you consider the mansion went on sale in 2007 for $5.7 million. The mansion comes complete with roughly an acre of land, which should be plenty for anyone with a passion for yard work.

Kate Upton’s Sports Illustrated cover was airbrushed. So what?

Upton SI Cover

The New York Daily News weighed in this week on Kate Upton's Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover, suggesting that the voluptuousness of the model has been minimized via Photoshop because -- I don't know -- if there's something the superficial male wants, it's a model with a smaller chest?
