Mo'nique

Mo'nique at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards in L.A. (3/7)

This might be the unsexiest chick fight in the history of usually-sexy chick fights. Barbara Walters vs. Mo'nique . . . FIGHT! From the New York Daily News:

Barbara Walters assures us that she and "Precious" star Mo'Nique got along famously during their interview for Walters' final Oscar special, [which aired] Sunday. But, privately, Babwa is said to be grumbling that their get-together was a horror show.

"Barbara is telling friends that Mo'Nique was one of her most challenging subjects ever," claims our well-placed informant. "If Barbara needed one more reason to quit the Oscar specials, Mo'Nique gave it to her."

. . . when Walters' producers came calling, [Mo'nique] had a few requests.

"She had very specific hair and makeup demands," says a source. "She also insisted that Barbara fly down to Atlanta. Barbara usually goes to her subject's home, whether it's Tom Cruise or Julia Roberts. Mo'Nique wouldn't let Barbara into her house. She was so disrespectful and dismissive that Barbara's producer, Bill Geddie, had to step in and ask Mo'Nique's husband, Sid [Hicks], why Mo was being so rude."

As an Oscar-winning actress, the fact that Mo'nique had "very specific hair and make-up demands" really shouldn't be that surprising. What is surprising though is that those demands were for her legs. Little known fact: There are only three things on Earth hairier than Mo'nique's legs: Osama bin Laden's face, Robin Williams' forearms, and Frida Kahlo's upper lip.

George Clooney will not stand for Mo'nique

You saw this last night if you were following my live tweet-blog, but what was up with George Clooney not standing up with the rest of the audience after Mo'nique won her Oscar? OK, maybe he's just not a standing ovation kind of guy. I can buy that. Um, except when Sandra Bullock won, he gave her a standing ovation. To recap:

Mo'nique: Black

Sandra Bullock: White

Now I'm not going to call him a racist, but I also heard a rumor that later that night, George threw a hissy fit at the Vanity Fair Oscar party after Mo'nique used his water fountain and then had the nerve to sit at the lunch counter. What a jerk he is!

Someone forgot to shave . . . for five years

I've seen some publicity stunts in my day, but The Rock donning a dress and heels to walk the red carpet at the Golden Globes last night has to rank near the -- what's that? That's actually Mo'nique? . . . *slowly takes step away from story*

Remember, if we never talk about these pics again, they never happened.
