'High Times'' Stony Awards To Feature Giggle-Heavy Acceptance Speeches

seth · 09/20/06 03:05PM

High Times' annual Stony Awards might not carry the same patina of prestige of some of the better known industry accolades, but it is the only Hollywood trophy ceremony to recognize excellence in the chemically-induced- paranoia-and-munchies screen arts, thus making its nominations announcement a noteworthy event. Among the many deserving performances singled out for achievement in stoner "acting" this year was Luke Wilson's tour-de-force turn in The Family Stone, for which he was required to get baked enough to convincingly find Sarah Jessica Parker hot. Other nominees included:

Stars' Bloated Heads Not Always Just Metaphorical

Seth Abramovitch · 06/20/06 08:13PM

ABCNews.com delivers on the serious, journalistic excellence their name implies with a fascinating slideshow, entitled "Bloated Stars: Vince, Luke & Leo." The gallery provides an array of pre- and post-bloat portraiture of some of Hollywood's biggest male stars (with a couple lower-rung Baldwins thrown in for filler). And while we're almost certain there's an undiscovered scientific principal to be deduced here directly relating the size of an actor's head to his asking price, we're too convinced that Stephen Baldwin's creepy "after" picture just gave us the born-again evil-eye to really do anything beyond shiver under our desks at the moment.

My Blue (Is In) Heaven

mark · 01/03/06 11:32AM

Before we move on to today's news (and before the Reaper harvests another fresh soul of minor fame to complete his greedy Celebrity Rule of Three), we note the recent passing of actor Patrick Cranshaw, best known to a generation of frat boys as Blue (as in: "You're my boy, Blue!), Old School's lovable octogenarian pledge. Cranshaw was 86, sending us groping for a lesson besides the standby Hollywood admonition to "die young and leave a pretty corpse." This is all we've got: If you're Owen "The Butterscotch Stallion" Wilson's KY-wrestling tag-team partner at the Playboy Mansion, you become immortal; grapple slathered in that same lubricant in a Luke Wilson movie, and your days on this earth are numbered.

• Is Paris Hilton banned from LA nightclub LAX for talking smack about her former BFF Nicole Richie? If so, it suggests that there might be some sort of karmic balance to that otherwise moira-less world. [Scoop]
• For reasons involving some sort of warped explanation about puzzles and pieces, Kathy Griffin is canned from E!, leaving you no choice but to actually watch the TV Guide network for your red carpet coverage. [Page Six]
• Say what you will about PR madam Lizzie Grubman, but she picked up and drove her entire staff to work yesterday and didn't run a single one of them over. See? Reform is possible. [Lowdown]

The Butterscotch Stallion Protects His Wicket

mark · 07/19/05 02:43PM


Now that Wedding Crashers has hit theaters, we expected a precipitous decline in Owen "The Butterscotch Stallion" Wilson coverage, but much to our delight, StallionMania™ gallops triumphantly on. A reader submitted this photo from last month's Maui Film Festival, where the Brothers Wilson (even the lesser-known Andrew) were honored with a "Shooting Star Award" for their familial success. Owen didn't appreciate being observed at play, approaching the amateur photographer "with his mallet at the ready and a scowl on his face...displaying none of that trademark Zen or 'aw shucksiness'" we've all come to know and cherish. We don't know how many times we have to say this, but don't taunt the Stallion in the wild—he'll buck you right off.
