Eugene David<br>...The One-Minute Pundit

The entertainment mafia is in a tizz because one of the three great nominees for the best-song Os-CAR®, the immortal "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp", was "rumored" to be "declared ineligible."

Wouldn't it be better just to stop handing out best-song Os-CARS® period?

P. S. AN EARTH-SHATTERING UPDATE: Somebody's performing -- well, we don't want to call this tizz producer a song, so we'll just call it slant-rhymed invective; and throws the Academy® into a well, into a non-tizz, as Gil Cates prepares for the executioner:

Aaron Rosenberg, lawyer for Three 6 Mafia, said it was a milestone for the Academy to recognize hip-hop's influence on American culture and [i.e., BUT; with ONE WORD this flack named SUE shows such a gift for toxic writing she ought to work for CURLEY] the group is extremely sensitive to decency concerns after the baring of Janet Jackson's breast during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show.

Here is reason no. 271,568 we HATE NEWS HACKS: we are convinced many of the entertainment stenographers, toadies and job-seekers covering this non-event could be convinced without a bribe to call this "GENIUS." It would never occur to such COMPLETE IMBECILES that it spits on the graves of Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields (among others) to call this a "SONG", let alone to give it one of those britannium-copper-nickel-silver-and-goldplated statuettes. And we say this though we KNOW this slant-rhymed invective will follow the last twenty years of Academy-Award®-winning hack work into oblivion, while people will listen to "The Way You Look Tonight" forever.
