Celebrity Buzz Without any warning or press release, Sky Blu — best known as one half of the neon-and-print-wearin', afro-lovin' music group LMFAO — chopped off his locks. Now he just looks like any other Joe on the street. Except for all that other stuff that still stands out.
Jonah Peretti, Founder and CEO of BuzzFeed was named one of 20 under 40, who “constitute the very vanguard of innovation in media, technology, brand leadership and creative work.”
Movie Buzz Because people minding their own business walking around New York City deserve to be accosted by people in formal wear and given awards too.
Music Buzz This should help put into perspective how great Whitney truly was. RIP.
TV Buzz At tonight's Screen Actors Guild Awards, Octavia Spencer won Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for her turn as Minny Jackson in “The Help.” As you'll see in these animated GIFs of Spencer's shining moment, she was very expressive.
A live teleprompter fail Sunday night at the BET Awards. The presenter, a young woman who had won a contest to present at the awards, named the Viewers' Choice Award winner as Chris Brown, then mistakenly corrected herself and said Rihanna. Adding to the confusion, Drake took to the stage to accept the award. At the conclusion of the show, host Kevin Hart said that Chris Brown was the actual winner. BET later said the fault wasn't with the presenter, but with the teleprompter.

BuzzFeed wins site of the year at the 2008 Urlies! Aw, shucks, guys. We hardly know what to say. Actually, we wrote a few things down just in case something like this ever happened: “We could not have done this without the support of Disaster Girl, the wisdom of Zombie McCain, or the inspiration of Lois Feldman. Chris Cooley's penis, the Shiba Inu puppies, and everyone else we're forgetting, thank you all!!!”

The Internet voters have spoken, and (surprise, surprise), it looks like Rick Astley is ahead in the polls for MTV Europe’s “Best Act Ever” award. Rick is going to be performing not one, but two songs - apparently he has another one. Be careful what links you click in relation to this story.
Nothing is more painful than enduring a real life high school musical, and now there are awards to prove it! If the real Tonys handed out trophies for “Most Awkward Kiss” and “Best Performance In A Pre-Show Prayer Circle,” there is a small chance we would forgive them for this.
Movie Buzz Daniel Day-Lewis may have just won his second Oscar for There Will Be Blood, but some have already begun challenging the praise he’s received for his scenery-chewing performance. They say that Day-Lewis’ motivations are unclear, that his acting is gimmicky, and that his histrionics take the viewer out of the action. In other words, they think he’s a ham. Of course, hamming it up has always been a pretty good way to win yourself a gold statue.
