Kim Basinger To Probably Not Win Any Oscars Next Year, Then
Do you like everything that Steve Martin has ever done, and everything that Alec Baldwin has ever done, and the Oscars? You do? Then you're probably the only one. Oh, and also we've got some wonderful news for you. Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are going to host the Oscars next year! That's right - the hilarious brain behind The Jerk and the glowering show-stealer from Glengarry Glen Ross are combining forces to host the most glittering night in the Hollywood calendar!
Or the old man from The Pink Panther 2 and the fat bloke from Thomas And The Magic Railroad are combining forces to trudge through six hours of smug backslappery that nobody really watches any more. One or the other.
The 20 Most Awesome Movie Cameos Ever
Cameos in movies are always a bit of a double-edged sword. On one hand they can provide audiences with a reaction of genuine delight when they find a big-name star who was not listed in the opening credits has suddenly turned up on screen to enliven and enrich the film in progress.

What a great day that would be.
Alec Baldwin Apologises To All Mail-Order Brides
When hecklerspray's eyes first met those of our sweet wife, it was as if she wasn't in a crate at all. As the UPS truck pulled away it seemed to pull our deepest worries with it. After all - it was love we were feeling. After we crow-barred out over 100 nails we realized
Melva hadn't really been gazing at us lovingly. She was actually in a medically induced coma for shipping purposes, and her eyes had just happened to roll back in the direction of her air holes.
Imagine our dismay. Also, imagine
Alec Baldwin's dismay in a separate mail-order-bride incident.
Alec Baldwin Just Wants to be Loved, Starts by Ragging on Everyone
