Whitney Houston made a grand arrival at an airport in Washington DC this week and she was wrapped from head to toe in fur … which, quite possibly, means that she was also wrapped in a bit of crazy. I cannot help but think back to that sad time when Whitney was a cracked out whack-job whenever I see her wearing a fur coat (kinda like the sight of Britney Spears in a pink wig reminds me of her insanity) … at least she is wearing a new fur this time around:

While I don’t expect Whitney to be sharing an open letters to PETA about her love of fur (like Kelis did earlier this week), I’m pretty certain she is happy to wear fur every chance she gets (like on her recent visit to Russia). Our dear Whitney is lookin’ a bit kooky in these photos but I’m gonna go ahead and assume it’s just cuz it was hella cold in DC and she was caught unawares. Stay sane and warm, Whitney, ya hear?

Our dear Britney Spears, who’s been keeping a relative low profile in recent weeks, ventured out onto the streets of SoCal for a little pampering yesterday afternoon. Britters paid a visit to a local nail salon to get her nails did and to catch up on all the latest goss … behold:

Not for nothing but I’m convinced that the main reason that celebs like to read tabloid magazines is to see how many times they are mentioned in the mag. Pretty much everyone who goes to a hair or nail salon looks forward to that alonetime when they can flip thru the pages of the latest mags to see what’s been going on in Hollywood … when celebs do it, you *know* they’re only looking for any info published on them so they an either take pride or alert their lawyers to begin legal proceedings. Whatever the case may be, here’s hoping Britney did enjoy a nice relaxing time at the nail salon. I’ve seen her hands, she has been in desperate need of a manicure for weeks now.

Yesterday was a pretty miserable day for me … not only was I still sore from the tetanus shot I got on Wednesday but I also came down with terrible body aches and a raging fever. Thankfully, my suffering started easing up last night around 8 but all day long I was in complete misery … blech. Because I was feeling like death, I stayed inside all day trying my best to not die. Once I started feeling better, I busted out my 5 graphic novels of Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8 and did some re-reading to brush up on what’s been going on in the Buffyverse, especially in light of the recent revelation as to the identity of the Season 8 Big Bad villain Twilight:

I had forgotten how amazing the books are. The first graphic novel, The Long Road Home, tells the story of how the US military (lead by the shadowy Twilight) has decided to make an enemy of Buffy and all the slayers of the world, No Future For You collects the books that tell the Faith portion of Season 8, Wolves at the Gate features the most famous vampire of all Dracula, Time of your Life throws Buffy into the future where she meets up with the sole Slayer in the future Fray and Predators and Prey features a fun segue that revolves around everyone’s fave, ditzy vampire Harmony getting her own reality TV show. Yes, the comics are a bit of a departure from the TV series but they are really fun, written by the actual Buffy writers and are advancing the mythos in such a way that could never be achieved on TV or in (dare I say it) movies. Now that we know who Twilight is, I’m really anxious to see where the story will go from here. It really sucked being sick yesterday but at least I was given the opportunity to bone up on Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8 … which I’ve been really lax in reading lately.

I’m not sure what the plan is for tonight, I’m hoping to get out of the house tho … I’ve been cooped up for far too long. I need to bask in the SoCal sun while I still can. We’re supposed to get 3 big rainstorms starting tomorrow that will bury us under 20 or so inches of rain! OY!!

Tomorrow night is the big night … the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards air LIVE from the Beverly Hills Hotel here in SoCal on NBC at 8pm ET kicking off the official start of awards season. CNN has compiled a fun list of the Top 10 Reasons Why the Golden Globes are Better than the Oscars and, to be honest, they make a pretty good point on a few of them:

The Golden Globes are essentially the opening act of the awards show season — it’s safe to bet those taking home Globes could hit it big at the Oscars. But that’s not at all why you should watch it. Unlike the much more uptight Academy Awards, the Globes are the funnier, cooler party where everyone would rather be. Here are 10 reasons why — even though you might care more about who wins an Oscar — you should never miss the Globes.

10. You can watch celebrities chow down
They’ve dieted for months to fit into their designer dresses, and chef Suki Sugiura, at the Beverly Hilton hotel, is making sure no one pops a seam with a light, locally grown menu. Attendees will feast on an arugula-radish salad with herb-crusted mozzarella and eggplant, California short ribs, Pacific sea bass and a white chocolate envelope alongside a chocolate sponge cake with Cointreau and mandarin oranges.

9. Kanye West will not be there
… but many of the rest of the presenters from the MTV Video Music Awards will be. More casual than the Oscars, this year’s show is filling the red carpet with the likes of Ashton Kutcher, Zoe Saldana, Gerard Butler and the cast of “The Hangover.”

8. The underground society of Golden Globes voters
Critics of the Globes have always looked askance at its voters, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, an international cadre of film-loving (critics would say “celebrity-loving”) journalists. The organization has been so controversial that a 2004 documentary tried to uncover “Hollywood’s Dirty Little Secret.” The comparatively small group of voters — often less than a hundred, in comparison with the more than 6,000 members of the Academy who vote on the Oscars — has been accused of sticking around for the parties thrown and being too easily wooed by Hollywood’s power players. But that that kind of questionable undercurrent is precisely what makes the Globes so much fun.

7. Two words: Ricky Gervais
The Globes have decided that they need a ringmaster for their circus, and there are few actors more qualified than Ricky Gervais. The last time the Globes used a master of ceremonies, in 1995, they had to use two: John Larroquette and Janine Turner. Let’s hope Gervais will have better luck. “The Office” creator and film star has promised to bring the emcee job back with a bang, including plenty of “gentle ribbing,” particularly of people “younger and richer and thinner and more attractive than he is.”

6. You will invariably use OMG and WTF throughout the whole thing
What would the Globes be without a questionable moment or three? The 2006 red carpet featured a frisky Isaac Mizrahi, who happily went in for a grope while interviewing Scarlett Johansson; in 2009, there was a hilariously rude speech by Sacha Baron Cohen when he presented the best comedy award; and then there was Jack Nicholson’s 2003 acceptance speech, when he acknowledged that he’d popped a Valium.

The rest of the list continues after the jump …

Earlier this week we learned that Peter Sarsgaard has been cast as villain Dr. Hector Hammond in the upcoming big screen adaptation of Green Lantern (which will star Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern and Blake Lively as love interest Carol Ferris) and today we are hearing from director Martin Campbell that actor Mark Strong (who played villainous Lord Blackwood in Sherlock Holmes) is his choice to play the role of supervillain Sinestro in the film (debunking the rumor that Jackie Earle Haley was up for the part):

“Sherlock Holmes” actor Mark Strong is in talks to play Sinestro in the “Green Lantern” movie, according to director Martin Campbell. Speaking with MTV News during the junket for “Edge of Darkness,” his upcoming action thriller opening January 29, Campbell dismissed rumors that “Watchmen” actor Jackie Earle Haley was in talks for the role. “No, that’s completely wrong,” said Campbell of the persistent rumor, which popped up again recently despite Haley denying any involvement with the “Green Lantern” movie. “In fact, we’re in negotiations with Mark Strong to play Sinestro.” “He’s not only a wonderful actor, but he looks like Sinestro,” he added. “If you look up old pictures of Sinestro, he’s very like him. The Jackie Earle Haley thing, somebody told me about it this morning; I had never heard it before in my life.” If negotiations pan out, Strong will have a role in not one but two much-anticipated comic book movies, as he also plays mobster Frank D’Amico in Matthew Vaughn’s adaptation of John Romita Jr. and Mark Millar’s “Kick-Ass.” However, Campbell didn’t stop there — he also offered up a list of characters from Green Lantern’s universe making an appearance in the film. Oh, and brace yourselves, folks — Kilowog is one of them. “Well, Kilowog will be,” said Campbell. “Tomar-Re is in it. Sinestro is in it. Abin Sur is in it. All the origin people. Carol [Ferris], of course, who will be played by Blake Lively. All the main characters are there, and it’s a complex story. The origin story of Green Lantern is complex, probably one of the most complex, which makes it a challenge to get it right.” If Strong becomes Sinestro, he could join recently announced in-negotiations actor Peter Sarsgaard, who’s in talks to play villain Hector Hammond. In the comic books, Sinestro is a former Green Lantern who trains Hal Jordan (played by Ryan Reynolds), only to become one of Jordan’s greatest enemies when he leaves the cosmic police force.

Holy shizzballs! I love it when comic book fans are in charge of turning them into movies, because they know what other diehard comic book fans want to see on the big screen. Jon Favreau did an excellent job bringing Iron Man to life, it really sounds like Martin Campbell is gonna do his best to really do right by Green Lantern. Origin stories don’t always work well on the big screen, there is a fine line to paying homage to the mythos of the character while still making a movie that non-fans will want to sit thru. I’m encouraged that Campbell is not shying away from featuring as many of the important origin characters as he can. As much as I was excited by the prospect of Jackie Earle Haley playing Sinestro, I would be FINE if Mark Strong got the part. He was excellent in Sherlock Holmes, I think he would be excellent in this. I am LOVING all of this Green Lantern talk. Since the movie is slated to get underway in a couple of months, I’m hoping we will be hearing and SEEING more from this flick very soon :)

Further congratulations are in order today for Prince William who received his military wings in a ceremony in the UK this week at his graduation ceremony from Defence Helicopter Flying School at Royal Air Force Shawbury. Here is a cute pic of Prince Wills gettin’ his certificate from his father Prince Charles who acted as Air Chief Marshal at the ceremony:

With his girlfriend enthusiastically supporting him, Prince William took a major step on Friday toward his goal of being a search and rescue helicopter pilot. William, 27, graduated from the Defence Helicopter Flying School at Royal Air Force Shawbury, where he received his wings presented to him by his father Prince Charles, acting in his capacity as Air Chief Marshal. Sitting among family and friends of the new pilots was William’s longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton, 28. During the ceremony she rose to her feet to applaud as William took his place among the honorees. It was the last time the couple will be together before the prince heads off for a five-day tour of New Zealand and Australia, his first official overseas tour on behalf of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth. Middleton has been at her beau’s other significant occasions during his military career – when he graduated from both flying school and from army college at Sandhurst. Friday’s honor followed a 12-month training course at Shawbury during which William, for a time, shared a house with his brother, Prince Harry, who was there to learn to fly for the Army Air Corps. William, known as Flight Lieutenant Wales, completed the flying aspects of the course in December, including 80 hours of training on the Griffin HT1 helicopter. His training also included courses in advanced handling, night flying, emergency handling and tactical and formation flying. The royal will begin the search and rescue conversion course at RAF Valley in Wales in late January. If successful, he’ll become a fully operational search and rescue pilot with one of the six UK-based Royal Air Force search and rescue forces later this year. He would then serve around three years as a pilot.

Ahhh, Prince Wills continues to grow into a fine young man … this latest accomplishment is quite an achievement. I’ve been so impressed with Wills for so long, he would make a fine King one day. It’s crazy to think that the little boys who we watched grow up before our eyes are now men grooming for the monarchy. They make it all seem so effortless and yet, I’m sure both Wills and Prince Harry work very hard in their endeavors. Much congrats on this achievement, Wills! You’ll be a Top Gun in no time.

Happy congratulations are in order today for my fave contemporary author, Neil Gaiman, and the love of his life, singer/artist Amanda Palmer, who got themselves engaged to be wed this week.
