Trey and Willow seem to the only functional members of that family.

Its not too late to edit out that last part. She quit one tour smack in the middle "to do ballet" and just pulled out of billie eilish's tour. She hasnt found her footing yet and at this age the pattern is set. If think they ruined her too.

At least she had a job instead of just living off mom and dad's name.

Unless I missed a story, she hasn't overshared the stories about her affairs and cheating on her spouse. Or posted bizarre pictures of herself in gender non-specific bad clothing. Or has same-sex affairs on the down low... outside of her marriage. Or described a same-sex friend as "her girlfriend". Or had an ex leak his/her nudes and threaten to leak a sex tape. Or had a public crying jag over the mess that is her life. Or slapped someone with millions of people watching live. Or written a book about all of the above.

Yet.

Yet. the trainwreck is comin. You know how apples fall.

Speaking of... here's a fun clip of the monologue:

Gay gay gay gay gay gay.

(And from the control booth, "John Travolta's not clapping. Quick! Cut away to another celebrity!")

One of the moments that got lost due to Mr and Mrs Smith:

Not Will's first time slapping someone

Kween Jessica Chastain won? Not a fan of her movies but she's so sweet and talented.

She benefited from low expectations but she was very good in "Eyes of Tammy Faye".

Smart move, dressing ugly is Oscar gold. Worked for Charlize and I swear to god halle berry looked like a man in nonsters ball.

Jessica Chastain shouldn't have won--she wasn't the best --seems another good one for gays tho

I have ignored this thread because celebrities misbehaving is of no interest to me. But now it's invaded my newsfeed and annoyed me so I feel I need to chime in .

"Headline" from this morning: Jada Pinkett Smith posts about 'healing' amid Oscars controversy

Stop. Just stop.

Listen you privileged bald rat faced honorary white Karen cunt black Kojak whore: I doubt you know what it means to have to heal. Sure you may have issues from your past and I will certainly allow you that, but this situation has nothing to do with that. Did Chris Rock make fun of your inoperable cancer? Were you gang raped? Christ, even farting real loud on camera would have been more traumatic than this.

While you're in your solarium fuming about how your housekeeper brazenly left a bottle of windex on the kitchen counter, all the downtrodden black women you claim to champion are healing from things you'll never have to worry about. Besides, didn't your "healing" begin when your emotionally stunted husband slapped the shit out of that foul, hateful sociopath who dared to allude to your shiny avocado head? Eat a dick you big wet bearded clam.

Ok I'm finished.

 

[KaraBulut]

....Ok I'm finished.

Feel better, now?

Feel better, now?

Feelin' absolutely spanky this morning, thanks!

I didn't watch the show but saw the punch clip on the news - I thought it looked fake.

If it was staged - well done. It put the Oscars in the news, I don't remember this much buzz after an Oscars show - ever.

Alopecia is not a disease. It is a condition. And it isn't a small, linear patch of missing hair which looks more like a scar. Alopecia causes large, irregular clumps of hair to fall out. Disease can cause it, but so can stress. It is not a disease.

I bet Chris is the host next year.

We need a poll attached to this thread on if the slap was fake or not. I think it looked fake.

It was not staged.

Even Smith wouldn't trash his career for this.

And if he did, he deserves all the hate coming his way from thousands of abused women.

Rock ended up looking like the adult in the room after making a bad joke...but maybe he just didn't really know about JPS's condition.

At any rate....what a shame that the last time we will see minelli on stage was upstaged by this.

There are actually 3 kinds. I have the 1st aka best kind. My ex doctor had the worst. She was totally hairless.

Well, there's alopecia areata (patchy) and alopecia universalis (complete). I don't like to diagnose over the internet but I will say that the Smiths have said she was alopecia areata and every patient I have ever seen with this condition had circular or oval patches of hair loss. The only time I have seen hair loss in a straight line was a scar on the scalp- either from a cut or from a surgical incision.

...We need a poll attached to this thread on if the slap was fake or not. I think it looked fake.

It looked fake and that's why the audience thought it was a comedy bit.

There's video and photos from the side (not the broadcast footage) where it's clear that Rock was slapped. The sound of the slap is audible.

...Even Smith wouldn't trash his career for this.

If you want an eye-opening experience, tune into a gossip show for a few minutes (e.g. Inside Edition, TMZ, et al). It's like a stakeout. The press is camped at Chez Smith and in Boston outside of Chris Rock's hotel (where he's doing a show tonight). The Boston venue has added more shows because of demand for tickets and people are reselling tickets for tonight's show for hundreds of dollars over the original sale price.

The Smiths called the police today because the media is flying drones over their $42 million house in Calabasas.

This is their house, by the way (one of three homes they own):

...At any rate....what a shame that the last time we will see minelli on stage was upstaged by this.

Actors and production staff spend decades trying to get an award. These awards drive rentals and movie ticket purchases that make people a lot of money. The Smiths are persona non grata for creating a distraction.

Every comic hates Will Smith because now they have to worry about some idiot walking up on the stage and hitting them over a joke they didn't like.

There's also a whole lotta stylists and designers who count on the publicity for the good (and awful) fashion publicized from the red carpet. They're pissed because we stopped talking about the dresses and are now talking about the Smiths.

There's also a lot of dithering about the race issue- that the Oscars have been criticized for not recognizing minorities in the nominations or the awards. This year, where the production staff was largely black, there were black hosts and there were multiple black, latino and LGBT nominees turned into an embarrassment. The amount of damage that was done extends far beyond the damage to the questionable careers of Will and Jada Smith.
