There was a time when Gwyneth Paltrow was just an Academy Award winning movie star. Now she’s the type of all-encompassing media conglomerate that appears on Glee , the Grammys , the Billboard charts , the Oscars, and even in actual movies. (Yes, Country Strong happened.) And perhaps its time to add “mediator” to Paltrow’s ever-growing list of talents.

The View has a bimonthly tradition (approximately) of making headlines, and the latest “controversy” is a wee one: Whoopi Goldberg claims The New York Times didn’t mention her in an article called ” Hollywood Whiteout ” about this year’s rather Caucasian field of Oscar nominees. It touches on Oscar history too, and Whoopi said that the failure to mention her Oscar win for Ghost hurt her “terribly.” Is Goldberg’s outrage warranted?

The unwritten rules for the second season of a hit television series are similar to the ones governing movie sequels: Everything has to be bigger, has to be louder, and has to include at least one major casting addition. In the case of Lost , the second season brought increasingly convoluted stakes (The Hatch! The Others!), some shocking character deaths (Shannon!) and the addition of Michael Emerson to the already bulging cast. What began as a well-received guest role for the veteran New York actor became a three-and-a-half season stay on the devilish island. Emerson’s breakout performance not only forced Lost creators Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse to shift their narrative, but also cemented him forever in the minds of television watchers as Benjamin Linus. Glee star Darren Criss is on a very similar path, and because of that, it might be time for Gleeks to get concerned.

Fantasia Barrino earned rave reviews for playing Celie in Broadway’s The Color Purple , but is the oft-troubled American Idol alum suited for a big-screen triumph? According to a new report, she’s set to play gospel legend Mahalia Jackson in director Euzhan Palcy’s film adaptation of the 1993 book Got to Tell It: Mahalia Jackson, Queen of Gospel . Let’s start with the pettiest question: Is Fantasia a worthier post- Idol Oscar contender than Jennifer Hudson or not?

“The fun but disquieting scenario is if that film wins and five guys in monkey masks come to the stage all saying, ‘I’m Banksy!’ Who the hell do we give it to? That’s the fun part of this job. There’s always some crazy-ass wrinkle you never thought of before.” And with that, Academy executive director Bruce Davis is plotting a “procedure” by which the elusive graffiti artist can claim his Oscar should Exit Through the Gift Shop win Best Documentary, which of course it should and it will. For starters: He’s discouraged from attending. Ha! The guy tagged the West Bank Barrier . Who can stop him? Anyway, I’m free to collect the award that night if anyone needs me, inquire within.
