Kathryn Bigelow (seen accepting Oscar from Barbra Streisand), made Oscar history when she became the first female to land the top director honor, beating the competition in her category, including her ex-husband James Cameron in the process.
Calling the huge win "the moment of a lifetime," Bigelow dedicated the award to "the women and men in the military who risk their lives on a daily basis in Iraq and Afghanistan and around the world."
War movie "The Hurt Locker" was the toast of Hollywood on Sunday night after leading the Oscars with six honors, including Best Director and Best Picture.
The film also claimed the night's sound awards, film editing and original screenplay prizes, as it collected six of the nine accolades it was nominated for.
"Avatar", the world's biggest grossing movie ever, was a triple winner and Up, Crazy Heart and Precious won double.
All the pre-show favorites won the big acting prizes with Jeff Bridges claiming Best Actor, Sandra Bullock Best Actress, Mo'Nique Best Supporting Actress and Christoph Waltz Best Supporting Actor.
Bigelow led what became a great night for firsts. Bullock became the first star to land a Golden Raspberry dishonor the same year as an Oscar, she picked up the Worst Actress Razzie for All About Steve on Saturday; Bridges won his first Oscar for Crazy Heart after five attempts, and 33 of 39 Academy Award winners took home their first Oscars, with The Hurt Locker trio of Bigelow, writer Mark Boal and sound editor Paul N.J.

JESSICA SIMPSON TELLS OPRAH "I FELT BETRAYED BY JOHN MAYER"!
It's hard being Jessica Simpson. because every ounce she gains is subject to media scrutiny, her recent racist boyfriend's remarks, and the feeling the world is still not entirely convinced that she knows the difference between chicken and tuna.
Jessica Simpson blames only herself a sit-down talk with Oprah Winfrey, "Yeah, I couldn't read the article," she said of John Mayer's Playboy interview. "I heard about it and I saw some of the clips and stuff. I tried to read the article and I was so...I was so disappointed in him.
"It made me so sad and it was really discouraging, because that's not the John that I knew. I guess it could have been a lot worse—my phone is ringing off the hook, I have to say,"
Jessica continued about Mayer, "Absolutely, I felt betrayed. I just...you know, I hope he gets his life together. He did apologize to me. I haven't written back," she said, ignoring Oprah's question of whether he pulled a Joe Jonas and resorted to texting the apology. "I don't accept it. It's just kind of one of those things—I don't resent him, I'm just gonna let that go, that part of my life."
Jessica also told Oprah her lowest point of the last few years came courtesy of "People couldn't stop talking about my weight fluctuating, It would bother any woman, I would think. The fact that I was famous last year for gaining 10 pounds is ridiculous and it's really sad."
On the subject of the Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson reality show, "I didn't know what I was signing up for, but I do think that I opened myself up to the world of judgment and of people's opinions," she said of her ill-fated decision to be a TV Newlywed.
"In a lot of ways it is my fault and I shouldn't expect people not to...I just didn't know it would end up so harsh. The sad part about it is when everything came out, I didn't want to say anything about the weight, I didn't want to sit down and talk to anyone about it, because I felt guilty," Simpson said.
"I just didn't want to feed into it. I didn't want people to let people know it was affecting me," she said, "It's a really hard thing for me to talk about because I celebrate women of all sizes and I think we're all beautiful. I do believe it is something that comes from within, and something you have to find within yourself to be comfortable with yourself."
Still, her press nightmare was not all in vain, as she credits the jean backlash with giving her the idea for her new VH1 globetrotting documentary, "The Price of Beauty".
What she saw pass for beauty around the world affected her deeply, evidenced by the tears that streamed down her face when discussing the negative impact media can have on women of all ages—including herself.
"Just the pressure that women feel to be thin or to be beautiful," she began. "The pressure that the media puts on women is so unfair and so disgusting."
As the tears came after Oprah previewed a clip dealing with a French model's battle with anorexia, Winfrey apparently felt it was the right time to ask Simpson whether she herself ever battled with an eating disorder.
"No, I've tried every fad diet, every diet there is, but never to the extent where it's unhealthy," Simpson replied. "Do you mind saying what size you are?" Oprah asked.
"I'm a size 4. I fluctuate from 4 to 6," Jessica said, admitting that those mom jeans actually fell on the lower end of her personal size spectrum. Which was almost too much for Oprah to bear.
"Those are size 4? And people are calling you fat in a size 4?!" Oprah asked. "Ay, ay, ay. Ay, ay, ay," she said. "Oh my god, 8 is a goal.
Jessica's mindset now is "Nobody else can define it but myself. Nobody's words, nobody's compliments, nobody's love"—nobody's ay ay ays?—"none of that, it's all what I have in myself. But I'm really finally relaxed. I don't care what people have to say about my weight, I really don't. I think I look great."

SIMON COWELL'S ENGAGEMENT RUMORS STILL CONTINUE IN THE NEWS!
These Simon Cowell engagement rumors are getting hard to ignore. First a source said it wasn't true. And then responding to another report that Simon was getting hitched to girlfriend and American Idol makeup artist Mezhgan Hussainy, his rep's reply: "Simon does not discuss his private life."
But now Mezhgan was spotted over the weekend wearing a giant rock on that special ring finger—which must mean there's some truth to all these engagement rumors, right?!
THERE WAS A SERIOUS SMACKDOWN IN WOMEN'S COLLEGE HOOPS, TAKE A LOOK!
Baylor's super freshman Brittney Griner was ejected from a game against Texas Tech after she punched an opposing player in the face.
Texas Tech's Jordan Barncastle fouled Griner with No. 14 Baylor up 55-39 with 9:01 remaining in the game Wednesday night. As the Tech player was moving away from Griner, the Lady Bears' standout swung and landed a punch on Barncastle's face.
The game was stopped for about 10 minutes as officials reviewed tape. A technical foul was called on Griner and she was ejected for a flagrant foul and another technical was called on another Baylor player, Morgan Medlock.
The Texas Tech bench also got a technical for going out onto the court after the punch was thrown.

Gunnar and Matthew Nelson, stopped by Charlie's new radio partner studios, Black Card Radio in Burbank, where Charlie's national syndicated radio show is now recorded and distributed to the U.S., Canada, and internationally!
The Nelson twins are in the Guinness Book of World Records being part of 3 straight generations of a family who had #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 Record Charts. Their grandfather Ozzie Nelson, had a #1 hit in the 30's as a big band singer, their Dad Rick Nelson, not only had a number one song, but also in the same week that happened, had the #1 TV show, and #1 movie for another Guiness record, and the Nelson twins themselves had a #1 record with their 1990 hit "(Can't Live Without Your) Love & Affection!
They're currently getting ready to kick off a year-long national tour in Southern California with a tribute to their dad, "Ricky Nelson Remembered", as well as their CD "Like Father, Like Sons" where they've recorded a dozen of their dad's hits, as well as the bonus track, "Just Once More"!

IF YOU THINK YOU HEAR A LITTLE SADNESS IN MY VOICE THIS WEEKEND, THIS PICTURE IS WHY!
Our family's little 13 and a half year old Maltese, Bailey, lost his battle with a number of ailments, the latest being pancreatitis, and he passed this past Thursday. Whoever coined the term "man's best friend", couldn't have said it better. This little guy brought such energy, enthusiasm and love to everyone he encountered, I can't even put into words how devastating it was to lose him.
Sure, he's just a dog some people will say, but anyone who's ever had a pet knows that they literally become a family member, and are just as loved and cared for as any person would be.
It's only been a couple of days, but his absence around the house and that little bark that warned any intruder who entered his territory that he was ready to defend it, is something I'll miss forever. It's really incredible the effect a little 10 pound white ball of fur and love can have on your life!
The one question I will always have is why God designed pets to live only an average life span of 15 years or so. I guess He wanted us to just have a a short sneak preview of what heaven must be like, with the unconditional love a pet brings in the seemingly fleeting years they get to spend with you!
Thank You Bailey! I loved every minute you spent with me!
