Dear Gossips,

Let’s get drunk with Betty White. Don’t you want to party with Betty White? Didn’t you wish so badly for Betty White to smack the motherf-cking sh-t out of Drew Barrymore at the SAGs? Betty White knows how to accept an award. Sure, she’s had more years to practise, but there’s no doubt, Betty White at 35 would have delivered a more entertaining, much less annoying, much less grating speech than Drew B. It’s a sudden, swift hate. More on this later.

Not that I agree with the way Sandra Bullock’s sweeping through awards season. Erin Brockovich for the win. Hers was not the best performance of the year, but she’s just so well liked, with such a solid reputation, the voters, who are her friends, simply can’t resist. And it’s a testament to her charm that no one can complain about it either. This is one popularity contest you simply cannot fight. Unlike Crash over Brokeback which remains an Academy blemish.

The Inglourious Basterds win for Best Cast on Saturday and the Producers Guild crowning of Hurt Locker on Sunday bhowever definitely proves that Best Picture this year at the Oscars is totally wide open.

As for Betty... if you haven’t already had the pleasure, or even if you have, because it was actually that great, her SAG moment is below. Start at 3:30 and I promise, it’s the most adorable 5 minutes you’ll have all day.

FULL column today. We’ll start with a Screen Actors Guild Awards wrap up, then Hope for Haiti, then the more recent gossip, including the latest f-ckery and panic surrounding the Brange. Remember to scroll down, click VIEW MORE ARTICLES to catch up on every post.

Yours in gossip,
