THE OSCARS WANT RYAN GOSLING TO HOST NEXT YEAR

He didn’t walk away with any of the awards, but Ryan Gosling was the night’s big winner at the Oscars. His energetic performance of I’m Just Ken stole the show, and the reviews were unanimous that he hit it out of the ballpark. Producers noticed, and he’s already been offered the opportunity to HOST next year‘s Oscars. According to our source, the Academy wants to go back to a big opening song and dance number like they did in the days when Billy Crystal hosted. After his recent performance, they feel Ryan is the PERFECT candidate, since he can sing dance, tell jokes and act.

JO KOY: IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD

They say every dark cloud has a silver lining and standup comic turned Golden Globes MC, Jo Koy may have just found his. Nice guy Jo bombed as a first time host of the revamped Golden Globe awards. We felt bad as his jokes fall flat and the celebrities in the audience didn’t do a good job of hiding their disappointment. Our source at the show revealed that there were barely any laughs during Jo’s opening monologue but there was plenty of eye rolling. The only good thing to come out of this fiasco was that Jo’s ex, fellow comic Chelsea Handler reached out to him to offer words of support. The two haven’t had much contact since their surprise breakup in July 2022, but Chelsea wanted to comfort Jo, so she called him after the telecast to boost his spirits.

WILL CARDI B HAVE DICK CLARK SPINNING IN HIS GRAVE?

Cardi B had a surprising business-like look in New York today, where she’s gearing up to host the American Music Awards. In fact, this is the first time we’ve seen her in a sensible suit. She’s definitely a wild choice to host the awards because she has zero experience. AMA producers figure that her crazy reputation will have lots of new viewers tuning in and give the show a much-needed boost in ratings. Question is: will she follow the script? (We doubt it!) She’s also nominated for Favorite Hip Hop Artist and Song – will she be a sore loser? Will she pronounce everybody’s names right? SO many possibilities… the fun show airs November 21.

JOE JONAS AND JACK BLACK CONDUCT THEIR OWN HOLLYWOOD BUS TOUR

Tourists in Hollywood all wanted tickets for the Ultimate Hollywood Tour bus today because they saw that Joe Jonas and Jack Black were hosting a tour! It was only for one ride, however, because they were filming a segment for some project. Remember a few years ago when Jimmy Kimmel was hosting the Oscars, he had a tour bus hijacked and the tourists were told they were going inside a building to see a costume exhibit. It was actually a side entrance to the Dolby Theater and the tourists found themselves on live TV staring at movie stars in the front row! Jimmy WAS a fun Oscar host!

WHAT DID YOU REALLY THINK OF KATY PERRY AS MTV VIDEO AWARDS HOST?

Katy Perry gave us a lot to look at while hosting the VMA Awards – a total of TEN different outfits – all of them okay, but not drop dead brilliant. What was REALLY awkward was Katy’s monologue and commentary between award introductions. She tried to toss off some jokes, but the audience just FROZE and squirmed and didn’t laugh at all. In fact they looked bored while she was speaking. Audience close-ups revealed nothing but YAWNS! It was repeatedly embarrassing but Katy carried on. It makes one wonder – did writers DESERT her? When a stand-up comic hosts, we can depend on a lot of timely laughs because they have great writers. What happened to Katy? She TRIED, but she flopped big time as a spontaneous host. Looks aren’t EVERYTHING.
