I didn't really watch the Oscars the other night. I watched little snippets in between watching Justin Timberlake's live concert at Madison Square Gardens on channel Go (ch.110). JT definitely has some smooth dance moves. I can do most of them. Seriously. Obviously not in sequence! I mean I'd have to rehearse for hours before I could present them to you. That's what Justin has to do. You do know that, don't you? He doesn't just arrive there and pull those moves out of his ass. He has to practice for HOURS! Honestly. So, you know, I don't know if that makes it SO amazing.
Gary Busey
The poor man's Nick Nolte
Nonetheless, it seems that the main excitement at The Academy Awards occurred on the red carpet. Or, if you're reading this from France, "le red carpet." The moment I refer to involves Gary Busey and his incredible excitement at seeing Ryan Seacrest. Some of you may know "the poor man's Nick Nolte" for his cameo role on the hit TV series Entourage in which he played a spaced-out art type. Or you may recall him from one of his 142 movies; in particular the movie Point Break, the 1991 surf-themed offering featuring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze (Busey played FBI agent Angelo Pappas. Nice one).
It would be both informative and amusing at this juncture to mention that Gary Busey starred, not 3 years later, in a movie called Breaking Point. That is fucking funny if you ask me. Point Break, and then three years later, Breaking Point! Imagine if Tom Hanks made a movie a little later called Gump Forrest. Whaah!
Gary Busey had a bad motorbike accident in 1988 which doctors feared would leave him brain damaged.
Really? You wouldn't have thought.
Did you enjoy that?
Then how about this - CLICK HERE to download a clip from Ryan Seacrest's radio show, recorded after the Oscars. It's a live phonecall from Seacrest to Busey, asking him what the fuck was going through his mind. Busey is half asleep, but still fucked in the head.
