The Academy Awards are history-- but the Razzies, honoring the worst in the film industry, have yet to be presented. This is the second year the Razzies are being held AFTER the Oscars, but the ceremony will be televised for the first time this year.
The films with the most nominations --could be worst actor, actress, cast or just the plain worst film-- are the following:
- "Cats," 9 nominations
- "A Madea Family Funeral" and "Rambo: Last Blood," 8 nominations each.
- "Hellboy," 5 nominations
- "The Haunting of Sharon Tate," 4 nominations
- "The Fanatic" and "Zeroville," 3 nominations each.
- "Dark Phoenix," "The Hustle," and "Serenity," 2 nominations each.
If you watched ELLEN DeGENERES' talk show last week, you saw NICOLE "Snooki" POLIZZI tell guest host SNOOP DOGG that she was leaving "Jersey Shore: Family Vacation" after this season of the reality show.
Snooki, who's now all of 32, told her "I basically had to just think about my kids and where I'm at in my life right now. It's just really, really hard for me to leave and film the show with three kids now."
What would you say if your son or daughter told you, "I'm going to major in marijuana in college?"
Because it could happen. CNN reports that Colorado State University's Pueblo campus will have a bachelor's of science degree program in Cannabis Biology and Chemistry.
The Colorado Department of Higher Education sez it'll be one of the first such programs in the country, with students choosing one of two tracks --either a "natural products" track focused on biology, or an "analytical" track that focuses on chemistry.
And it should come as no surprise that a Colorado school is offering such a major, since between 2014 and the middle of last year, marijuana sales in Colorado exceeded $6.56 billion.
We told you last week that with Valentine's Day coming, major restaurant or fast-food chains were getting ready to offer fun goodies to celebrate the big day. More deals:
- Boston Market will be doing a Baby Back Ribs Bouquet.
- Bojangles is making heart-shaped Bo-Berry Biscuits.
- Papa John's is making heart-shaped pizzas beginning today; California Pizza Kitchen begins their heart-shaped pizzas tomorrow (Feb 11).
- And Bruegger’s has their heart-shaped bagels beginning today as well.
If you had more money than anybody in the world, what would you choose to travel around the world? Your own jet? For BILL GATES, the answer is a $645-million, 370-foot eco-friendly luxury superyacht.
Oh, and it doesn't use regular fuel --it's powered by liquid hydrogen that will let it travel nearly 4,000 miles before it needs to refuel.
And just in case Bill wants to invite you and the spouse along, he can, since the yacht --named Aqua-- is 370 feet long, and holds 14 guests, and has a gym, yoga studio and massage parlor, as well as a pool on the rear deck, a gym, yoga studio, beauty room, and massage parlor, too.
