Jada Pinkett Smith Is Boycotting This Year’s Oscars Over The Lack Of Diversity
Idris Elba, Ryan Coogler, Creed, Will Smith and Straight Outta Compton were all talked about as possible Oscar nominees, but when the nominations were announced last week, they pretty much all got a whole lot of nothing. Straight Outta Compton was nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Sylvester Stallone got Creed’s only nomination. Johnny Depp probably wasn’t nominated for Black Mass because the word “black” is in the title of his movie. It’s the second year in a row when people of color were shut out of the acting categories. Straight Outta Compton’s executive producer shit on the Oscars’ lack of diversity on Facebook, and over the weekend, Jada Pinkett Smith joined him in speaking out against the show. Even the host of this year’s Oscars, Chris Rock, called it the “White BETs.”
On Saturday, Jada tweeted about how people of color are asked to perform at and show up to the Oscars but aren’t recognized with nominations. Jada wondered if they should boycott the Oscars? And yesterday, Jada answered her own question and said in a video on Facebook that she’s not going to or watching the Oscars this year. Jada said that POC have so much power now and need to realize that. Jada knows the Academy can nominate whoever they want, but maybe it’s time for POC to pull out of that shit and “make programs for ourselves that acknowledge us in ways that we see fit, that are just as good as the so-called mainstream.”
We must stand in our power.

Spike Lee co-signed Jada’s words on Instagram yesterday. Spike Lee isn’t going to the Oscars this year either. He doesn’t totally blame the Academy. He wrote that the real battle is with the studio executives of Hollywood who make the decisions.
If Jada Pinkett Smith puts together her own awards show and airs it on the same night as the Oscars, my remote control is going to get the repeated pounding of its life. I’m going to furiously switch between Jada’s Oscars and the Oscar Oscars. Because I really want to see Jaden Smith’s interpretive dance performances of the best picture nominees and I really, really want to see Chris Rock roast Hollywood and the Oscars.
Hot Slut Of The Day!
The blazer that stole the show at last night’s Democratic debate!
The media is a mess and they never focus on what really matters. That became 100% clear to me again last night and this morning when all they did was cover the “talking points,” or whatever, of last night’s Democratic debate instead of giving all of their air time to the blazer of the night! Who cares about the words that came out of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton’s mouths? Every serious journalist and serious cable news network should be covering that breakout star blazer in detail. At the end of the debate, Hillary Clinton shook hands with a dude whose blazer immediately shot past her in the poll in my heart. If that abstract fruit salad blazer was wallpaper, Maude would definitely hang it in her kitchen.
There are so many questions. Like, is blazer master Don Cherry finally donating his stunningly gorgeous blazers to youngins in need of real style? Is the youngin’ somehow related to Liberace and he inherited Liberace’s casual Thanksgiving day blazer? A reader told me that the gorgeous blazer wearer is a YouTube star, but since I’m not a 15-year-old girl named Brittani, I don’t know if this is a fact or not.
And in the few seconds that Hillary talked to the owner of that amazing technicolor dream blazer, I’m sure she asked him where he got that fabric, because she wants to make a pantsuit gown with a matching srunchie out of it for the inaugural ball.

The Oscar Nominations Really Brought The Surprises This Year!!!!!!!
And I mean the direct opposite of that.
The Oscar nominations were farted up this morning and they were as predictable as a drunken me ending my Friday night searching for ginger daddy porn on PornHub while eating spoonfuls of sugar because I ran out of candy. The only real surprise was that the Oscar messes didn’t find a way to nominate Meryl Streep for something. I expected to hear the words, “And for Best Actress, the nominees are Meryl Streep for um, err, being Meryl Streep.” I guess Meryl Streep has this year off and is letting the lessers have their little fun.
Johnny Depp’s housekeeper will be spending their afternoon scrubbing eyeliner tears out of his scarves, because he wasn’t nominated. Ridley Scott, Jane Fonda, Helen Mirren, Idris Elba, Will Smith, Steven Spielberg, the little boy from Room and Aaron Sorkin were also shut out of that shit. The Revenant got the most nominations with 12 and Mad Max: Fury Road got 10 nominations (but none for Charlize!). And Jennifer Lawrence better book that rehearsal space, because she’s going to need to practice her red carpet falling moves again since she was also nominated.
And on Golden Globes night, I joked that Lady CaCa will probably win an Oscar before Leonardo DiCatchAHo does. That could really happen, because she got a nomination for the song she wrote with Diane Warren for The Hunting Ground. I pray we’ll get an encore performance of this:
All the nominations are after the cut. It’s #OscarsSoWhite: The Sequel!
It’s Never Too Late To Gold Dig: The Jerry Hall Edition
Last night, Mick Jagger took a break from pouring one out for David Bowie to laugh into the sky over his ex-not-wife Jerry Hall getting engaged to Dr. Evil’s idol Rupert Murdoch.
2016 isn’t messing around and has wasted no time in showing 2015 how to really bring the WTFness. Jerry Hall has joined Mariah Carey in The “Getting On An Australian Billionaire Who Looks Like A Character from Shrek” club. Jerry Hall has been rubbing her fuck parts all over Rupert’s frog king-looking ass for a few months now. And now they’re engaged! In the back of my mind, I always knew that Jerry Hall would one day become the glamorous wife of a real-life Bond villain.
59-year-old Jerry and 84-year-old Rupie announced their engagement in The Times, which his company owns. The Guardian says that Jerry and Rupert got engaged over the weekend in Los Angeles, where they were for the Golden Globes. So on Sunday, Jerry Hall was probably laughing at all of us desperate messes going crazy over Powerball, because she already won and all she had to do was lick on two power balls. My idol and hero! Here’s their announcement:
Mr Rupert Murdoch, father of Prudence, Elisabeth, Lachlan, James, Grace and Chloe Murdoch, and Miss Jerry Hall, mother of Elizabeth, James, Georgia and Gabriel Jagger, are delighted to announce their engagement.
This will be Rupert’s fourth marriage. His divorce from his last wife, Ride Or Die Wendi Deng, was finalized in 2013. This will be Jerry’s first marriage. Some source told The Daily Mail that these two crazy messes are really happy, “They have loved these past months together, are thrilled to be getting married and excited about their future.”
Jerry Hall once had a reality show (which yes, I watched) called Kept where she searched for the perfect kept boy toy and now she’s switched it up, because she’s the kept bitch. But really, Heather Mills, the president of The Gold Diggers of the World Association, isn’t going to make Jerry Hall a platinum member just yet. I mean, Jerry Hall has her own money, she doesn’t need Rupert’s billions and billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars. She’s obviously with him because she fell in love with his charred black heart and gets the serious tingles when she licks the curdled sweat from his gargoyle nutsack. It’s true love, okay?
Who Is Hot Slut Of 2015: Round 2
Before we start farting up more Golden Globes crap, let’s get into an award that really matters (to me and me only). To the shock of no bitch, a pussy won round 1 of the Hot Slut of the Year contest and a different pussy was runner-up. It came down to Bart the Zombie Cat and the DGAF pussy. They were sort of head-to-head until the DGAF pussy pushed Bart the Zombie Cat back into his shallow grave like the cold-hearted cunt puss he is. And we love him for being a cold-hearted cunt puss. Now he’s headed straight for the top bottom, because he won round 1 of HSOTY and he’s going to the final round. Now on to round 2…
Round 2 is a clusterfuck of hotness. We’ve got a double ray of potent Irish gayness, Madonna’s body twin who happens to be a kangaroo, the artiste who covered Portland with dicks and two British beauties who are even more plastic than the dildos that dangled from a wire in Portland. Here are your choices:
May’s HSOTM: The double rainbow over Ireland! The day that Ireland voted to make the misery of marriage legal for every trick in the land, a double rainbow filled the sky. It was either God’s version of “two thumbs up” or it was from the gay angels in heaven farting out rainbow rays of pure happiness.
June’s HSOTM: Roger the buff kangaroo! Roger is a kangaroo from The Kangaroo Sanctuary Alice Springs in Australia and while most of your lazy asses are sleeping, he’s probably doing CrossFit! I mean that literally, because my Google Analytics tell me that most of Dlisted’s readers are in the US, so while it’s sleepy time for us Americans, it’s morning time in Australia and Roger is definitely doing CrossFit then. But anyway, he’s a buff kangaroo and I hope he stars in the sequel to Creed.
July’s HSOTM: Portland’s dildo decorator! Last year, a beautiful soul did the lord’s work when she threw dildos over telephone wires in Portland, Oregon. She said that she did it, because it had to be done. She’s right and she better get an HGTV show where she visits towns and decorates their streets with rubber dicks, because this world definitely needs more rubber dicks.
August’s HSOTM: The mother/daughter Katie Price twins! A mother and a daughter in Britain decided it would be a good idea to get a ton of plastic surgeries and injections to look like their beauty idol Katie Price. They didn’t achieve their goal, because they don’t look like Katie Price. They look ten billion times more beautiful than Katie Price.
Voting is below. The winner will be announced on Wednesday Vote with your everything!
Sean Penn’s Rolling Stone Interview With El Chapo Is One Of The Reasons He Was Captured
Somewhere in a maximum-security Mexican holding cell, El Chapo is totally ripping-up this picture of his former Hollywood BFF Sean Penn like an angry teen girl while sobbing “I KNEW I shouldn’t have trusted that shady charbroiled chorizo-looking rat man!”
So, I’m not exactly an expert on what happens after you inadvertently give away the hiding place of an escaped drug kingpin, but I’m guessing that it’s safe to say Sean Penn might want to lay low for a little while. According to the Associated Press, Sean’s recent-ish interview with Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán for Rolling Stone helped authorities track his ass down at his secret hideout and capture him. If you’re looking for a “You in danger, girl” GIF and can’t find one, it’s because they’re all being sent to Sean Penn right now.
