Oscar Ex-plosion

A couple weeks ago, I announced my dirty little secret: I enjoy watching how the Jennifer Aniston v. Angelina Jolie saga plays out. I admitted that I often read the stories that pop up on Msn.com about the pair and their supposed fight, and I admitted that I might be a little crazy for liking to monitor their "feud."

I think I've only tapped the iceberg of crazy. Instead, the real crazies are the celebrity shows who turned an awards show into the "Oscar Showdown" between John and Jen and Brangelina.

Anyone who doubts that last statement, I dare you to watch "Oscar Ex-plosion" by Sarah Haskins. In her video, she shows clips of many popular celeb shows (and even some serious news channels) rehashing the night's drama. But what drama was there?

Apart from the unfortunate cut from Jen presenting to Angie laughing (which I must admit, I was peeved about), there really was no tension between the two couples. Instead, the celeb shows tried to create some signs of Oscar fighting out of mid-air. They created timelines showing how the movements of both Jen and John and Brad and Angelina were orchestrated so that they wouldn't see each other. And then, they pointed out that Jen was only three feet from her ex when she went onstage to present. Gasp! I bet they even had to breath the same air!

If you think I'm exaggerating on the celeb shows' ridiculousity, then I highly suggest you watch Haskin's video. You will probably be as amazed as I was that the non-confrontation between the two couples was played up to being the jilted lover showdown of the year. And I thought that I needed help!
