Entertainment Update

Once again, I bring you my super-quick, weekly recap of the wild world of entertainment news!

Let’s get this started with the biggest story of the week, the Grammy Awards.  As usual, it was less of an awards show and more of a circus act. Lady Gaga arrived to the ceremony in an Egg.  Get it?  Because she was “Born This Way?”  

Or should I say, "Hatched This Way."

And now it’s time for some egg puns!  Gaga’s performance was egg-celent, although it did sound egg-actly like Madonna’s “Egg-spress Yourself.”   Surprisingly, Gaga’s was not craziest performance of the night.  That honor goes to Cee Lo Green, Gwyneth Paltrow and half-a-dozen muppets who sang a “slightly” edited version of his song, “Forget You.”

So, who were the big winners?  While Eminem led going into the show with 10 nominations, he only won two.  Lady Antebellum won five Grammys, including record and song of the year.  Arcade Fire won the highest award—album of the year.  But the biggest surprise was Esperanza Spalding, who beat out Justin Bieber to win best new artist.  And even though a lot of people are complaining because they don’t know who she is, in my opinion, it’s refreshing that the best new artist isn’t already a world-wide phenomenon.  I'd suggest listening to some of her songs, she's pretty good.

In casting news, I’m sure you’ve all heard about the Christopher Nolan’s newest Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises.  Well, rumor has it that Marion Cotillard is in talks to join and will probably have a substantial part in the upcoming movie.  When this is confirmed, she will be the fourth Inception actor to be cast.  For those of you playing along at home, that’s Michael Caine, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Marion Cotillard.  I’m starting to think the Inception cast witnessed Nolan murder someone, and now they’re all blackmailing him to be in the new Batman movie.  That’s my theory, and I’m sticking to it.

What? It could happen.
