With the good comes the bad. Every year we root for the worst movies of the year, celebrate the bombs and crashes of Hollywood. We look forward to the Razzies as much as we look forward to the other glamorous award ceremonies in Hollywood.

betUS has the odds on a couple of Razzie categories, including Worst Picture:


I Know Who Killed Me (-300): I mean, of course Lindsay's going to have the best odds, if only because she's had such a trashtastic kind of year, and it wasn't like this movie was going to give her any shred of credibility. I mean, not that she really had any in the first place, even before rehab.


Norbit (+400): Why, Eddie Murphy, why? Remember about 20 years ago when you were funny, even when you were being politically incorrect? Yeah, you can't really do that anymore. And by that I mean be politically incorrect and be funny. And by that I mean you just aren't funny.



Bratz (+750): Even back in the day when I actually liked New Kids On The Block would I have gone to see this movie. Like, what studio exec thought it was a brilliant idea to greenlight this flick? Seriously. It's bad enough the girls look... strange. The dolls are creepy enough on their own.



I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (+900): Can we upgrade Adam Sandler to Has-Been status already? Or maybe that's just me being biased, because I don't think the dude is as funny as folks make him out to be. Maybe he should get some lifetime recognition for his work (you know, other than Punch-Drunk Love. Then again, that's probably just me. When I'm biased, I really like to be biased.


Daddy Day Camp (+1000): It really is a shame to watch someone like Cuba Gooding Jr. go down in flames like this. Not even a delightful kind of shame. I root for the guy to get a real acting job, but something about formerly decent actors making (bad) movies for their children just grinds my gears Peter Griffin-style.

Maybe it's the holidays or something, but every girl in Hollywood is either getting a ring or a baby. What's the deal, people? It looks like the big trend in 2008 is going to be the shotgun wedding. Which begs the questions: who's the next starlet to get a big 'ol rock on her perfectly manicured finger? betUS has a few guesses into who might be next:





Britney Spears (+400): She's got some of the best odds, well, because she's Britney. I don't think her meltdown is over yet, and she's still young enough to get another 52 hour marriage under her belt, you know? I think it's just a matter of which bloke needs the most publicity.





Paris Hilton (+400): Paris hasn't even gone through a fake engagement yet. What is wrong with this girl? She's supposed to be a pro at this. But, she just lost her inheritance from her grandfather, so I wouldn't be surprised if she latches on to any man with money and moving parts next year. Anyone? Anyone? Just as long as it's not an upstanding guy with good values, I think we'll approve.






Jessica Simpson (+1000): With quarterback Tony Romo losing a game with her in the box, I don't think Cowboys fans would be too thrilled if they ended up engaged. Dallas doesn't strike me as a rioting city, but that might just happen. Go long, Jess! Catch the Hail Mary! Oh, wait. She's a cheerleader, right?




Lindsay Lohan (+700): You never know. She's been hanging out with that dude she met in rehab quite a bit lately, so you never know what kind of withdrawal-symptom craziness could happen. She's lucky she hasn't lost an appendage yet, let alone a drunken drive-through marriage here in Vegas. I know you think I'm kidding when I say that, but I'm serious. Seriously. She might think getting married is good therapy. Don't ask me how that all works, though.


Cameron Diaz (+1600): Didn't she say something about never wanting to get married or something? She was with Justin for so long it felt like they were just going to be one of those couples of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn or something. I wouldn't put it past her, considering she looks like the type with a hippie streak.

We love watching celebrities get arrested. Let's be honest: watching them get caught for doing idiotic crap is the best form of public humiliation ever. Ain't nothin' like a good point and laugh at a celeb mugshot to get your day going.

There are so many people right now teetering on the edge of getting arrested again, and betUS wants to know who may be the next one to end up in handcuffs, and not because they actually like it.

Britney at +150: She has the best odds, because let's face it: she's been giving the judge in her custody case the finger for not submitting to drug testing, not following his rules, and generally being an idiot for letting K-Fed of all people get full custody. The perfect ending to this trainwreck of awesomeness is a mug shot. Make it happen, girl!

Paris Hilton at +450: Paris just did some jail time, but for her to get into more trouble, while a fantastic thought, probably won't happen. One would hope she was smart enough to hire a driver now. Then again, it is Paris Hilton. I mean, you wouldn't expect a Nobel Prize out of this woman. But, having a mugshot where she's actually posing for the camera would be just outrageously kick ass.

Michael Jackson at +1200: MJ's been pretty much out of the pedophilia scene for awhile, and I know in my own heart of hearts he gets down to the real business of making a good record by the time he's 50 (which, incidentally, isn't that far off). And for good measure, I post this picture of the cover of Off The Wall, because man that record's good. I have it on vinyl.

O.J. Simpson at +1200: O.J. just did a day stint here in Vegas not too long ago, and he has a hearing here in a few weeks, but it doesn't look like The Juice will be getting caged again any time soon. How many mugshots is it going to rack up, anyway? Is he going for a celebrity record or something?

Naomi Campbell at +900: She might be good at throwing phones at people, but I'm not quite sure why she would have slightly better odds of getting arrested than O.J. or M.J. I mean, if people actually did their jobs right, she wouldn't have to get so angry, right? It's not her fault people don't get it.

Nicole Ritchie at +800: If homegirl is expecting a baby, how could she have the edge over Naomi Campbell? Does being pregnant make hormones go all wonky or something, becoming a big ol' pregnant monster of doom? Isn't she supposed to be serving jail time for her own DUI pretty soon anyway? But admit it: a preggo celeb in a huge orange jumpsuit would be the photo of the year. No doubt.

Lindsay Lohan at +350: Miss Linds just got out of rehab this weekend, and I don't want to start up a countdown watch or something. She's been mending things with her newly-sprung dad, and hopefully she'll actually start doing some, like, real acting soon. I have hope for the girl. Probably misguided hope, but hey, I'm a softie.

Listen, most people would tell you that I'm a mess. I party too much. I drink too much. I shop at Forever 21. But the women of Hollywood make me look put together.

Firstly, there's Lindsay and her 54 millionth drug arrest. She says she's innocent and those weren't her drugs. We laugh at that. And I do a shot of vodka in honor of L.L, because she makes me look put together.

Then there's Britney. And word on the street is that during her recent interview with "OK" magazine she went to the restroom repeatedly without shutting the door and then her dog went to the bathroom on a multi-thousand dollar gown. And I do a shot of Jack Daniels (something a little more white trash) in honor of Britney, because she makes me look put together.

And then, finally, there are the women of Age of Love. Yelling, arguing, drunk on Patron, a twenty something convincing the bachelor himself that a 39 year old woman had tried to manipulate her, hiding out in tents. Those women are CRAZY. I used to think that he'd for sure pick a forty year old, but the longer the show goes on, the crazier the old women seem. You can bet it though. Chances that Mark will pick a "kitten" are -300 at Bodog and chances that he'll pick a "cougar" are +200. Go, enjoy. And I drink a shot of Patron to the women of Age of Love because they make me look put together.

Kittens? Yes, Kittens.

I'm pretty sure I told you so!
Early this morning, apparently our rehab queen was arrested for drunk driving and possession of cocaine - brilliant! Her latest film "I Know How I Died" is set to come out this weekend and it doesn't look like she's put herself in the brightest light to promote it (unless you consider the flash from a mug shot to be bright).

So, I guess the alcohol monitoring bracelet fad is over almost as soon as it began. Short-lived is the life of a trend in Hollywood.

If Lindsay continues down this path of self-destruction, I predict her to look like this. Really, it's not too far-fetched!:



Get better soon, Lindsay! And not because I want to see you on the big screen, but so that I don't have to worry about you drunk driving into innocent people or street corners or funding illegal drug traffic. Thanks!

The word on the street is that Hollywood is beefing up on a new piece of BLING! Last week, Lindsay Lohan completed a 45-day rehab program and now voluntarily wears this gigantic alcohol monitoring "bracelet."



While I applaud Lindsay for embracing a road to recovery, the sad thing is that numerous celebs are being spotted sporting these anklets - almost to the point that they are trendy!! Similarly, is the crime du jour: getting a DUI. Just ask yourself, what celebrity does NOT have one? Yep, it's a pretty short list!

Now, I could go on a Lindsay rant, but I'll keep it short because apparently I'm in the minority on this...but,

In what movie has she had a leading role since "The Parent Trap"that was actually worth watching? (get honest with yourself: was "Mean Girls" really THAT good?) And are there really people out there who are Lindsay fans just because they enjoyed a pre-pubescent Disney performance? Come on people, what ever happened to the saying "You're only as good as your last film." Lindsay's career should be over by now - especially given that her recent behavior reports indicate a severe lack of professionalism. And it's not like she's the only hot celebrity (I give her a 4 out of 10). I mean, Hello Jessica Alba, Natalie Portman, Kirsten Dunst, Salma Hayek, etc.!

Ok, I'm done.

Angelina Jolie has to be one of the busiest people on the planet - seriously. She is 32 years old and has been married twice. She's the recipient of Academy Awards and Golden Globes. She parents 4 kids, serves as a Goodwill Ambassador helping children, third-world countries, and the environment - all this while maintaining a romantic relationship with one of the hottest and most famous guys in the world - Brad Pitt.

Seriously, when do you sleep?

Over the years, we have seen Angelina go through many phases. We've seen her slightly suicidal, then goth, then an admitted bisexual, then goth again, then incestual with her brother. After that, we saw the vampire phase where she proceeded to wear viles of blood and ink herself up with some later-regretted tattoos (but hey, even Paris Hilton and Nick Carter have some of those!).

Now, she's a bonafide movie star carrying her posse of kids around the world and taking romantic walks on African beaches with none other than Brad freeking Pitt! (sigh....)

The ample instances of instability in Angelina's life probably have something to do with why we all find her so intriguing. I mean, how long before she cracks from all the responsibilities she's undertaken? Because, as we all know, celebrities often do fall off the wagon (can anyone say Lindsey Lohan or Britney Spears?) even after a supposed rehabiliataion.

And how long can Angelina manage to keep Brad around? I used to think of him as the "Good Guy who amazingly happens to be amazingly Hot" but after he split from Jen, I got a whiff of his typical male-on-the-hunt antics. I think we are all waiting and watching because we expect something super dramatic and scandalous to come out of this.

BetUS has actually posted odds on which event will occur FIRST regarding the wonderful life that is Angelina Jolie. And they all happen to be pretty realistic events with pretty decent odds!
The 2 props that have the best odds are that Angelina and Bratt Pitt will Marry (+200 at BetUS) and that Angelina and Brad will break up (+200 at BetUS). I know, isn't it kind of evil that these 2 events are equally likely?!

Next likely is that Angelina will become pregnant (+300 at BetUS). While I think this is a possibility, I think it's WAY more likely that she will adopt another kid before she actually gets pregnant. That's just my guess. Name me 1 actress in Hollywood who doesn't mind a fluctuation weight and body size? Exactly.

The least likely event to occur according to the odds is that Angelina and her father, Jon Voight, will reconcile (+500 at BetUS). And in all honesty, I think this would be the prop to put some money on! Angie actually recently made a statement saying that she and her father were going to begin trying to communicate! Do I smell a reconciliation on the way?!

Anyway, I'd put some money down quick on 1 of these because Angie's life is pretty fast-paced, which means one of these is going to happen SOON!

Oh Rosie, Rosie,
This time you may have gone too far. I mean, how many arguments can we watch you instigate before you convince us, once and for all, that you're really just a paranoid bully? Ok, Ok. Maybe that was a little harsh. Afterall, Rosie does like kids - she has 4 of them. And she likes to donate money to organizations that help kids! And she likes to protect kids from guns, which I think is a noble cause, too.

But seriously, Rosie, I think it's going to take a special set of circumstances that I cannot even imagine in order for you to be able to get back on television. Actually, the only thing that I'd consider to be somewhat entertaining from Rosie, at this point, would be a Dr. Phil/Dr. Drew-style counseling session show (kinda like Breaking Bonaduce) where we watch Rosie uncover her inner demons and go through the breakdown we are all waiting for her to have. But, because it's American TV, a happy ending would be nice to see. Maybe the finale can show Rosie in a group hug with Britney, Paris, and Lindsay where they all cry and congratulate each other on how hard it's been to overcome their daily struggles and live with the millions of dollars they have. (I swear I'm not having a bad day, as I write this!)

Despite my personal opinion on this matter, Bodog has posted odds on which network will be the first to sign Rosie to host her own television show. NBC has some of the best odds at 5/2. They are pretty consistent and stable with their ratings, though. I don't know if they'd want to risk their reputation on Rosie.

Another option with decent odds is The New CW network at 3/1. This company boasts that it appeals to 18- to 34-year-olds. But honestly, I don't see that being Rosie's demographic anymore.

Also on the list is CBS at 4/1. Close behind in odds are CNN at 5/1 and ABC at 5/1. Hopefully CNN respects itself to not give Rosie her own show, but ABC strikes me as a possibility. It is a part of the whole Disney scene, which means there are kids nearby, and we all know how much Rosie likes kids! (which is a much more appropriate way than how Michael Jackson likes kids) However, she is kind of a loose cannon, and I don't think ABC is down for those kinds of sparks.

Finally, network with the lowest odds to sign Rosie is Fox at 7/1.

So, there you have it, folks!
On a final note, I'm curious to know how many of you are on Elisabeth's side of the argument? I must say that I am. And given Rosie's decision to not fulfill her contract at The View, it seems that perhaps even Rosie has seen the error of her ways.

Everyone loves the Hollywood awards season! You know, with the Golden Globes and the Oscars! And who can blame us?, because we get to see our favorite celebs in their best attire on one of the most important nights of their lives! But what I'm ALSO interested in this week are the RAZZIE nominations! I mean, how great is it to have an annual awards show that presents the Dis-Honors for Worst Achievements in Film?! Where else can we publicly recognize celebrities like Tom Cruise for gracing us with the most ANNOYING tabloid stories and stunts for the year? And how else can we show Paris Hilton that we just don't buy her acting "skills?" Well, my friends, this is all accomplished at the RAZZIES!
Movies like "Little Man" and "Basic Instict 2" racked up 7 nominations EACH this year! (OUCH!) "Bloodrayne", "Lady in the Water", and "Wicker Man" are all in the running for Worst Picture. But my favorites are in the "Best Actress" category! I think the Razzies nailed these on the head!:
We have repeat offender Jessica Simpson (Employee of the Year), re-hab queen Lindsay Lohan (Just my Luck), newcomer Kristanna Loken (Bloodrayne) and the Duff sisters, Hilary and Haylie (Material Girls). It's definitely gonna be a close call!! Bodog's odds list Sharon Stone as the favorite to win at 2/5, and Jessica Simpson is the predicted longshot winner at 30/1.
I must say, one of the most disturbing trends this year is for former "Home Improvement" funny man Tim Allen. He has been knocked with not 1, not 2, but 3 nominations within the Worst Actor category! I know you must be thinking: "But he was so good in "Santa Clause 3," "Shaggy Dog," AND "Zoom!" Oh wait, maybe not. Either way, I still feel bad for the guy!
Bodog has all the current odds up for this year's fabulous Razzies, which will be held February 24 - the night before the Oscars! If you ever thought you had an eye for dishonorable artists, now is the time to cash in on your expertise!! Putting your money on anything nominated from "Basic Instict 2" and/or "Little Man" are as sure as bets come!

BETUS.COM GETS DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF LINDSAY LOHAN’S ENDLESS RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS

BetUS Survey Finds The Real Reason Lindsay Lohan’s Relationship With Harry Morton Ended

September 26, New York – Lindsay Lohan recently starred in a movie titled “Just My Luck” and bad luck seems to have followed her ever since. From numerous hospital visits to a Tinseltown executive publicly reprimanding her partying ways, Lindsay Lohan has been in the spotlight for more negative actions than positive. Now, it appears her latest boyfriend, Harry Morton, heir to the Hard Rock restaurant has added to her laundry list of bad news and has kicked her to the curb. So why did this seemingly happy relationship come to an abrupt end?

Celebrity analysts at BetUS.com believe their users know the real answer.
The largest online sportsbook, BetUS.com, has again beaten everyone to the punch with a survey as to how the relationship ended. Over 6,500 users have logged on and even wagered money on odds posted by the site’s pop culture analysts.

Celebrity analysts at BetUS.com asked their users the following question:

Why Lindsay Lohan got dumped:

Never put on underwear 11%
Too much drug use 15%
Too much drinking 35%
Cheating on him with Paris Niarchos 10%
Too many hospital visits 29%

Executives at BetUS.com want to help Lindsay get over this painful breakup as soon as possible, so they have offered to pay for La Lohan to join “www.LetsMeetOut.com.” With this outlet, Lindsay and her friends can enjoy New York nightlife and hopefully meet a new boyfriend that is out of the spotlight.

“Lindsay Lohan and partying go hand-in-hand, but we are worried that this recent breakup may push her over the edge”, stated BetUS.com celebrity analyst Christopher Bennett. “We not only want to get to the bottom of why Lindsay was dumped, but we also have made an effort to help her pick herself up again and meet new people.”
