Why aren't they doing the Golden Globes? The actors are boycotting? Is this because of the writer's strike?

Right, Pamy, so many people hurt by it all.

I wondered the same thing, Brenda.

Chili, I had read that quite a few of the actors had planned to boycott the Golden Globe award show.

As for Brittney's new guy, Adnan, all I can say is I hope it is true that he is just "separated" from his wife. At least he'd have to go through a divorce before there could be a quick wedding, cuz I can see her refusing to have a pre-nup. And I can only see him gathering up info for the tabloids who employ him.

Why would the actors boycott the show that is giving them awards? I don't watch award shows so I have no idea what the Golden Globes even is.

Chiliwilli, not so much a boycott of the show, but a "we're not going to cross the picket line" stance. Unions usually support each other, and with the actor's contract up this summer, they may want ensure they get the same support if their talks don't go well.
My definition of the GG is a pre-view of the Oscars.

I C. I don't watch any of the award shows. There are so many any more it's hard to keep up. Do we need a preview of the Oscars?

Chili, the screen actor guilds members decided not to cross the picket line. Or the SAG is encouraging the actors not to. I'm not sure if it's just a show of support for the writers guild or if there's some kind of "you scratch our backs, we'll scratch yours kind of thing."

Thank you Bluejax! I thought I remembered something about the SAG contracts being up soon but wasn't sure on that so didn't want to post it.

Thanks. Just curious. I wouldn't even know it happened if I hadn't read it on this board.

The Golden Globes have been cancelled. A press conference will be held on Sunday in which the winners will be announced. But there will be no ceremony.

Chiliwilli, ita that there are too many awards shows. imho, it kind of detracts from the value of an award. The awards are getting so specific, Best Song Written by a Male Between the Ages of 22-31 in a Movie, Comedy...lol

The big award shows always satisfy the celebrity watcher in me, I like my magazines that week as much as the show!

I like the GG cause it is both tv and movies

I for one will miss it

I can actually see the Beverly Hilton (where the Golden Globes were set to take place) from my office window .... and it looks like they're breaking everything down over there.

They had the Critics Choice awards last night and they talked about how there would be no Golden Globes.

So why did the celebs go to the Critic's Choice awards but wouldn't go to the GG?

that's what I'd like to know Twinkie. My guess is that the critic's choice awards are not as big of a deal as the golden globes. By boycotting a huge show like that, they are getting a lot of attention.

I, too, will miss the gg's. I really enjoy all the celebrities and really like that they sit around, eat, drink, and are much more relaxed and having a good time than they are at the oscars. Big Bummer.

I think it may be more about them not wanting to offend the critics for fear their revues might be in jeopardy.
They don't really care much about offending or dissappointing the "little people" that just pay to go see their movies.

Did the writers picket outside the Critics' Choice awards? They were planning to picket outside the Golden Globes, so the stars would have had to cross the picket line.

They are really socking it to Dr. Phil right now for showing up at the hospital. A clear case of bad timing, as I think the public has tilted over from making fun of Britney to thinking that she needs some real help, but not to be exploited.

I just don't get Dr. Phil. First he claims that his wife is BFF with Brit's mom. Then he claims that he's been "helping" the family for years. He visits her for an hour in the hospital (and yeah, I'm really wondering what happened to privacy laws and all that, since Brit is an adult and it doesn't matter what her mom may want), and comes out with a diagnosis? OK, if you've been "helping" her for years, how come you've not come up with a diagnosis before now?

I just think that those who can do, and those who can't go on TV and say they can. And while I've never been a fan of Dr. Phil, I think he really and truly blew it this time.

Britney obviously needs real help. Not a "celebrity doctor" or "TV star" help.

Dr. Phil has no decorum. I, for one, would NOT want that from a "doctor" who was supposedly trying to "help" me.

He is all over the media today telling all he knows...which, in my opinion, is not much....and glamming it all up for salacious interpretation.

Yuck.

OK, this is mean of me, but I'm laughing my behind off... Brit's car was towed last night. Apparently, she got a flat tire, and left her car on Sunset Blvd, blocking traffic. So it was towed. And although she won't be ticketed, she'll have to pay towing and impound fees to get it back. She, apparently, grabbed a ride home with one of the paps following here (and then went off to the Four Seasons).

And here's my question... who in their right mind would just walk away from a 2008 Benz? And NOT call for a tow or a tire fix? Huh? Huh?

I'm sorry, but really???
