| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. For as long as she lived, she had no idea there was anything sexual or seedy about being called "Lolita". |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes (although obviously I can't eat fried chicken nearly as much as I'd like). If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Church's (that's right, I said Church's) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi. Better yet, how about not showing up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you or take a long time to return your calls. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? (Exception: I will happily take all calls related to business or to share fun/exciting/major news. I'm just not one for jawing on the phone just to be jawing.) |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. I'm always on my laptop and connected to the internet as I work and when IM's pop into my screen out of nowhere, they break my concentration and often startle the sh*t out of me in the process. So don't do it. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. I had a bird (a Roller pigeon that I rescued in LA on New Year's Day in 2004) named B-Bird (what? that's a good name!) who passed away in February 2009, which broke my widdle heart in half. He loved me so, as I did him. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs and cat, we'll be instant friends, and if you ask about B-Bird, I'll probably hug you (unless you smell...wash first). If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

The Oscars are gonna be soooooooooooooooo cool this year. First there's gay cowboys (you know they are gonna so get nominated), and now there's Jon Stewart.
And we LOVE Jon Stewart. We go to bed with Jon Stewart every night. Nothing comes between us and Jon Stewart...except those funky-ass reruns he's had on all this week. And Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights when he doesn't come on at all.
Per Steve Pond's Oscarbeat:For the past couple of months, Oscar producer Gil Cates' search for an emcee has sometimes seemed to belong under the "Daily Show"-style heading "Indecision 2005." Last year's host, Chris Rock, was not asked back; eight-time host Billy Crystal said he declined an invitation because of his busy schedule. Published reports claimed that negotiations were underway with Whoopi Goldberg and Steve Martin, though those were never confirmed.
The 43-year-old Stewart does not have an extensive movie career, an attribute Cates generally prefers in his hosts. Stewart has appeared in a handful of films, few of which were Oscar material: "Death to Smoochy," "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" and "The Office Party," among others.
But the barbed political humor of his nightly show on Comedy Central figures to make Stewart a perfect fit for the Oscars, especially in a year when many contenders--including "Brokeback Mountain," "Good Night, and Good Luck, " "Crash," "Munich," "Syriana" and "The Constant Gardener"--feature political and social themes. The Oscars are gonna ROCK. No offense to you, Chris Rock. You did a fine job last year. I thought you were great.
 But this is Jon Stewart.
AND WE LOVE JON STEWART!!!!!

It's gonna be interesting, but you have to admit...Chris Rock kinda stole the show last year...even though everybody knew Jamie Foxx was gonna win for "Ray". He represent'd, no doubt and made you think. Just like the greatest comic of all time, Richard Pryor used to do. Rest In Peace, Brother Richard.

I agree, Chris ROCKED it last year, but he was too live for that stick-up-the-ass Oscar crowd, much of which is very old guard. They want Broadway, not "Live on the Sunset Strip." Richard could have never hosted the Oscars (which he, of course, never did) because he would clear the room, even though the tv audience would have been given the show of a lifetime. Chris came close to that, putting on blast all the tomfoolery of the business. He was totally right about Jude Law. I think Jude's a good actor, but he's not The Second Coming Sean Pean made him out to be (when Sean reacted to Chris' comment). Hollywood takes itself seriously on Oscar night, and Chris Rock skewered Hollywood instead, so he had to go. They should have known that's what he'd do. It's like inviting Mike Tyson into your bed for a nap and being mad when you wake to find him on you, pounding away. There's no point in tussling. You just lay there and take it. Hollywood should have just laid there and taken it when Chris hosted last year. They might have enjoyed it more. (Uh-oh...I'm sure someone is going to blast me for that!!)

Being ridiculed drives most people to drink, not fall into a cooch that's not attached to their woman.
