Spirit Awards: Highlights



Yesterday was the Film Independent Spirit Awards, where The Wrestler grabbed top honors and added another Best Actor win for Mickey Rourke who will go head-to-head with Sean Penn tonight. But starting this off with tales of bloated-corpse Rourke and Sean Penn as gay activist Harvey Milk is sort of in the wrong direction.

I've collected the highlights of last night's female attendees including Jessica Alba looking like a 30-year-old babysitter, Elizabeth Banks looking kinda busted, Cameron Diaz looking like a wax-sculpture, Eliza Dushku and her round face, Lucy Liu in pink, Penelope Cruz in brown and a surprise win for hottest by re-emerging starlet Claire Danes, who manages to look better than her contemporaries, somehow. What's that girl been eating?



Haziz Stabbed Somebody 20 Times


Shelley Malil, 43, the actor who played "Haziz" in 40-Year Old Virgin (this dude) was arrested late last night for breaking into his ex-girlfriend's house and viciously stabbing her in excess of 20 times. Holy shit. FOX News says:

On Sunday night about 15 miles east in San Marcos, deputies answering reports of screams for help and breaking glass found a woman with multiple stab wounds and cuts on her face, with no suspect at the scene. She was taken to the hospital and was in critical condition Monday morning. Authorities did not know her condition early Tuesday. "Malil and the victim had apparently been in a dating relationship which recently ended," the statement said. Malil was arrested for investigation of attempted murder, mayhem and burglary and booked into the county's Vista Detention Center, the statement said. A deputy on duty early Tuesday did not know the name of Malil's lawyer and attempts to identify and reach him for comment were unsuccessful."

Reports say the unidentified victim's two children were also in the house at the time of the attack, so let's just hope he cooperates fully with authorities and accepts whatever punishment he receives. Then we can truly see what he is made of. Or, we can just skip that and tie him to two tractor trailers and see for ourselves. To be honest, I'd be perfectly okay with either.


Elizabeth Banks was also in 40-Year Old Virgin. I'd stab her! Haha, get it?!:
