Come on folks, you knew it was coming. I wouldn’t be the supreme blogger that I am , or certified fashionista if I didn’t post about the totally dazzling and maddenly monstrosities that graced the red carpet at the 2010 Academy Awards last night.

Starting off my list is Sandra Bullock. The “Blind Side” leading lady looked absolutely magnificent in a silver beaded and embroidered illusion shouldered Marchesa gown. The look was classy, elegant, and a perfect compliment to the lighting on the stage for when Ms. Bullock accepted the award for Best Leading Actress. An added personal touch that I loved, were the Neil Lane platinum and diamond drop earrings, as well as the Neil Lane bracelet and clutch that were from her own collection. Many artists only rent their Oscar garb, and this was a welcome change. Kudos Ms. Sandra!

J. Lo turned heads as she showed off her infamous curves in her sculptural Armani Privé pale pink gown with a dramatic train, Ferragamo heels and Cartier diamonds. And when I say dramatic train, I MEAN dramatic. Truly fashionable. I guess Jenny traveled a little further than ‘the block’ to get this number!

Okay, so how old is Demi Moore? Because whatever it is that she’s doing to look 20 for the past 10 years needs to be bottled, marketed, and sitting on my bathroom sink counter right now! She looked flawless in aAtelier Versace tiered blush gown, Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry, Versace heels and Ferragamo clutch. Very classy ma’am!

Those are my top three for the ladies! But you can’t forget the men! They all looked very dapper and appropriately esteemed in their tuxedos on the red carpet and beyond, as one would expect. Especially one of my favorites, Jake Gyllenhaal.

What were your favorite threads?

Well, they tried.

City officials recently approached the Alabama DOT about upgrading the dog park with a covered pavilion and concrete pad where pet owners could sit and talk. The Huntsville division engineer for the DOT said the proposed construction would violate the terms of the city’s land lease with the state, which says they can erect permanent fixtures.

Guess you’ll have to bring your own chairs to sit and chat with Rex and the others.

Have you ever taken your dogs to a dog park?

Who doesn’t love whenever the newest internet video craze hits the web? From Ninja Cat, to the Surprised Kitty, we love them all! You just can’t resist!

Well, I’ve found the latest internet sensation! It’s a Pedigree commercial for dog treats, shot in 1000 fps (super slow mo’), and it’s quite fascinating actually. The different expressions on the dogs’ faces are priceless! Check it out!

On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most, how did you like the video?

More snow! Well, at least it won’t be a much as a couple of weeks ago. The National Weather Service says snow is possible across a wide area in North Alabama starting early Tuesday.

The snowfall is expected to affect the area north of Birmingham to the Tennessee state line at first. But forecasters say it will spread to the south and east through the day on Tuesday. Luckily, they’re predicting no more than an inch.

Even that’s too much, for us winter weary people! I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait until the days of blue skies, warm weather, and the smell of charcoal from lit grills permeate the air!

Are you happy about the winter weather that we’ve had, or are you wishing for warmer days?

Amendment 21, downtown Huntsville’s newest bar, opened last week in the former home of House of Brews, over on North Side Square. It’s a non-smoking, quiet bar that’s meant to have the feel of the big city. There isn’t a kitchen, but the drinks are made with fresh fruit grown locally. For $100 a month, patrons can recieve entry into an exclusive VIP section upstairs where you’ll be treated to a live band, and a more extensive drink collection. It’s hours are from 4pm to 2am Monday-Saturday.

I haven’t been there yet, but the idea of drinks with fresh fruit in them may be the deal breaker for me! $100 a month may be a little steep for my tastes, however, but this bar seems like a pretty good first stop for your night out on the town. As you all know, the 21st amendment was the one that ended the 18th amendment and repealed Prohibition. Such a clever name for such a quaint little bar!

It’s that time of year again folks! The Big Five television networks are presenting their new Fall line-up soon! And from the way things are looking, there are plenty of entertaining prospects.

I am a little sad that some of my shows are not making a comeback. For one, this is the final season of ‘Lost’. ‘Ugly Betty’ has been cancelled. And 24, my dear 24 with all of it’s Jack Bauer goodness, may be in it’s last run. Oh, how my heart hurts! Though no show will ever fill the absence of 24 (which is why DVD box collections are made), some of the listed shows for this term sound promising.

Here are a few that I found that sounds promising:

ABC Drama – “Cutthroat.” A dramedy about a single mother who operates an international drug cartel from Beverly Hills.

ABC Comedy – “Mr. Sunshine“. Matthew Perry (Friends) stars as a self-absorbed manager of a sports arena. Cast also includes Allison Janney (The West Wing) and Andrea Anders (Better Off Ted).

NBC Comedy – “Friends with Benefits“. A single-camera comedy about five friends who are on the lookout for perfect mates but willing to temporarily settle on friends with benefits. (The name was enough to catch my attention!)

And there are many more, but you have to read them for yourself to find out! What do you think you’ll watch?
