Beyonce’s Controversial Oscar Performance

Beyonce joined 2009 Oscars host Hugh Jackman on stage for a musical number. There’s a bit of controversy surrounding that performance now. Some people say that Beyonce was lip synching during her performance, singing to a track, using auto-tune or relying on her background singers way too much. Beyonce was definitely off of her game that night which is bad considering the rest of the performers on the number did so well – and they were not professional singers. I guess her dress wasn’t the only thing wrong for Beyonce that night. She needs to step up her game! I’m not used to this.

Elton John and Madonna War


Here’s another chapter in the war saga of Elton John and Madonna. Sir Elton was reportedly livid that Madonna decided to throw a last minute Oscar party. With Vanity Fair canceling their annual soiree, usually the most attended, Elton’s party was poised to be the party of the Academy Awards this year. However, Madonna decided to throw a party which was attended by A-list stars like Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes, Cameron Diaz, Demi & Ashton, Drew Barrymore, Owen Wilson and Penelope Cruz. Sir Elton’s attendees were B and C-list like JC Chasez, Lionel Richie, Simon Cowell, Larry King and Sean Penn.
