Last night the 19th annual Screen Actors Guild awards were handed out in Los Angeles. Daniel Day-Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones won the Best Actor and Supporting Actor respectively for their roles in "Lincoln." Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress for her work in "Silver Linings Playbook," and the super boring (no offence) Anne Hathaway taking home Best Supporting Actress for her turn in "Les Miserables." Ben Affleck's "Argo" took home the award for Best Cast, and the latest James Bond film "Skyfall" won Best Stunt Ensemble. On the television side of things awards were given out to screen vets Kevin Costner and Julianne Moore after switching over to the cable miniseries game, Costner in "Hatfields & McCoys" and Moore in "Game Change." Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Claire Danes (Homeland) took home the acting awards in a drama series while 30 Rock stars and the King and Queen of New York Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey swept the comedy series awards. Awards season closes out on February 24th, hosted by Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane. "Lincoln" has 12 Oscar nominations, while "Les Miserable" and "Silver Linings Playbook" got 8 nods each. "Argo" received 7.

What the hell happened to Sarah Palin? Not that she ever had all that much going for her once McCain lost out to Obama in 2008. Anyways, that kind of cute, intelligent looking woman without actually being too smart is not going to have her contract renewed by Fox news where she served as a correspondent. In 08, it seemed Sarah could do no wrong; she was lovingly mocked by Tiny Fey on SNL, she had her own reality show, and a best selling book out. Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes decided to scoop her up quick and even built a modern studio for her in her Wasilla, Alaska home. What is she going to do next? I don't think anyone cares.

While director JJ Abrams has been attached to direct the new Star Wars film, it appears the 2015 release date that was circulating online could be premature. Abrams has a full plate (and then some) in front of him with his second film in the "Star Trek" reboot series hits theatres May 17, followed by the inevitable press commitments leading up to and once the film is released then is slated to produce "Mission: Impossible 5" and a third film Star Trek film. "You know, obviously, it's so early," Abrams said. "I can just say what I want to do: I want to do the fans proud. I want to make sure the story is something that touches people. And we're just getting started. I'm very excited." So start speculation on Episode VII's title (from google: The New Republic, Legacy Of the Shadows, Legacy Of the Sith, and Knights Of the New Republic) and get ready for Star Wars: Disney style.

Well, this is just brill. A 20 year old prostitute from Portland, Oregon drove 50 miles to meet up with a john who had solicited her via text messages. The address she was given turned out to be the Salem Police Department. She walked up to the building, clearly marked 'Police Department,' entered the station, walked past several uniformed officers before coming to an unmarked door within the station where she tried to get ahold of her client. Once the officers stopped staring at her inappropriate attire they arrested the woman for prostitution and promoting prostitution. As it turns out, the messages were part of a sting operation by the Salem police department who first identified the woman online. Darshhh!

Reunited and it feels so good… Actually it's a double Black Flag reunion. Punk rock pioneers Black Flag will have two versions of the outfit performing this year. Greg Ginn, the bands founder, guitarist and principle songwriter has put back together their 1978 with Ron Reyes on vocals to play this summers Hevy Fest in the UK. Another incarnation, this one know simply as "Flag" will include Circle Jerks/OFF! vocalist Keith Morris, Chuck Dukowski (who will play in both reunited units) on bass, Descedents/All drummer Bill Stevenson, as well as Stephen Egerton of the Descendents/All playing guitar. Egerton is the only member of the two acts that wasn't an actual member of Black Flag, but if you've ever seen Stephen play, you know he can hold his own with the best of 'em. Looking forward to seeing at least one Flag in 2013.

Every Time I Die and Jose Canseco? Amazing.. I don't use twitter but gosh darnit, it makes friends of people who probably wouldn't be friends other wise, which is obviously hilarious. Don't know if this is serious, or a lampoon, but it is pretty funny either way. CHECK IT HERE.
