“This is only the beginning. Much love, The Princess,” reads the lipstick on the mirror. Whut? Points for using an altered RuPaul lyric, I guess. DiDa wipes the message away, explaining that she was angry that the judges weren’t seeing her for her. She says she channeled that anger into her lip-synch. Twitter was aflame last week with people praising her lip-synch, but I still feel it was way too over-the-top. Chad asks Sharon how she’s feeling about her second win. “I’m proud of myself. I showed up here thinking I’d probably be the first one home,” Ms. Needles answers. Phi Phi looks on with full stankface.

Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. When I got there, DreamWorks and Working Title Films were preparing to defile the memory of Hitchcock’s masterpiece, Rebecca. Yes, it’s true. Movieline reports that producers Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, A Serious Man) are on board, while Steven Knight (Eastern Promises) will be writing the script based on Daphne du Maurier’s novel. No word on a director yet. Is it fair to call it a remake if they’re adapting from the novel? Maybe not, but this adaptation will inevitably be compared to Hitchock’s Best Picture-winning film.

It’s time once again for everyone’s favorite frivolous awards circle-jerk: The Golden Globes! Ricky Gervais is hosting once again. Because controversy. Or whatever. Morgan Freeman will receive the Cecil B. DeMille award this evening. If you ask me, they’re fifteen to twenty years late with that one. But you didn’t ask me, so give big daddy one second to swallow a couple of numb-numb pills. Okay. Pour yourself a drink, and make it fancy–maybe put it in a real glass instead of a plastic tumbler–because tonight we drink with the stars!
Capital New York is reporting that film critic J. Hoberman was let go from The Village Voice, where he has been a staff writer for nearly three decades and senior film critic since 1988. The news isn’t terribly surprising–several longtime staffers have parted ways with the paper in recent years, but it’s certainly a blow to the Voice’s already deteriorated reputation and another example of the changing (crumbling?) nature of both journalism in general and specifically film criticism, which has had something of an identity crisis.
