He went on to comment: "The wrong thing to do - and that's what all these interviews now are trying to get me to say - is to turn on it, to like s**t on it, call it crap. But that's insane.

Happy birthday, John Waters! Our favorite filthy writer-director, Broadway musical producer, author, late night guest and all-around cool guy celebrates his 67th year on earth today, April 22.
When he's not collecting checks for his uber-successful "Hairspray" musical, Waters wins our love with his support for independent movie theaters, fundraising for marriage equality and random hitchhiking trips across the country.
His films are pretty great, too. We recommend re-visiting the overlooked, uber-violent ode to D.I.Y. filmmaking "Cecil B. DeMented" and the Johnny Depp-starring "Cry-Baby."

Amanda Bynes made her way through New York Thursday in neon yellow heels as she attempted to hail a cab.

And she's not the only one -- Nikki Blonsky, who co-starred with Bynes in the 2007 film "Hairspray," recently told Life & Style magazine that she believed Bynes was doing just fine. "She’s the same Amanda I met working on Hairspray. She’s happy. I don’t think that’s a breakdown, but a breakthrough. I back Amanda 100 percent," she told the publication.

Ok, Ok -- to be fair, half of you are probably all like, "Hey, that's great! ... Who's that again?" while the other half are all, "Super! A lady from 'Hairspray' who's probably more famous for being violent and attacking people in airports! Awesome!" but the truth is that Amanda Bynes has got some backers out there, and it's because she's totally fine, guys. Why are you even worrying about her behavior and state of mind? Nikki Blonsky, who was in "Hairspray" with Amanda, had this to say when she was asked (?) about her former castmate's recent erratic happenings: "She’s the same Amanda I met working on Hairspray.

Controversial Oscar Producers Will Be Back Again
17 April 2013 5:13 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Los Angeles -- Craig Zadan and Neil Meron will produce the Oscars again.
The film academy announced Tuesday that it has invited Zadan and Meron to return for the 2014 Academy Awards telecast, and the two producers said they're honored to come back.
Their first Oscar show featured "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane as host. It drew Oscar's largest audience since 2010, including more coveted younger viewers.
Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences President Hawk Koch said Zadan and Meron have "the overwhelming support of the Academy's Governors" to produce the Oscars a second time.
"To establish continuity with this year's enormously successful show, we felt it was important to give these consummate professionals the green light now to begin creating another great evening," Koch said.
The duo's production credits also include "Chicago," "Footloose," "Hairspray," "The Bucket List" and TV's "Smash."
There's no word on whether MacFarlane will also return as host. »

Now that we know who are overseeing the Oscarcast, let's turn our attention to who should host the show. Vote in our poll at the bottom of this post. Given the strong musical background of returning producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, it would be surprising if their choice didn't raise their voice in song at some point in the kudocast. We offer up seven suggestions. Two of them already have a connection to the producers while all of them have been standouts on previous awards shows. The pair executive produced 2002 Best Picture champ "Chicago" which earned Queen Latifah a Supporting Actress nomination. She also appeared in their movie version of the musical "Hairspray" and headlined their recent TV remake of the weeper "Steel Magnolias." And she emceed the People's Choice Awards for five years to good reviews. Bill Condon, who wrote the screenplay adaptation »
