The Worst Performance Award

Lindsay Lohan Is Nominated For The Worst Performance

Advice for actors looking to get nominated for worst performance: multiple roles help. Lindsay Lohan and Eddie Murphy scored multiple nominations Monday for the Razzies, which sort out the worst that Hollywood dredged up the previous year.

Lohan's thriller, "I Know Who Killed Me," in which she plays two characters who may or may not be the same person, received a leading nine Razzie nominations, among them worst picture of 2007.

Murphy's "Norbit," released amid a film-honors season that earned Murphy an Academy Awards nomination for "Dreamgirls" last year, received eight Razzie nominations, five of them for Murphy alone, more than anyone has ever gotten in a single year.

Besides worst picture, "Norbit" had nominations for Murphy as worst actor in the title role, supporting actress as Norbit's beefy wife, supporting actor as an Asian man and worst screen couple for Norbit opposite either of Murphy's other characters. Murphy also shared a screenplay nomination for co-writing "Norbit."

"We decided that each of his characters was so offensive that he deserved individual nominations," said Razzies founder John Wilson.

According to Wilson, Murphy's closest competition for worst screen couple is Lohan in "I Know Who Killed Me," in which she plays a small-town girl abducted by a psychopath and an alter-ego, a stripper who's missing body parts.

Lohan's movie played like a cross between the torture tale "Hostel" and "The Patty Duke Show," Wilson said.

For worst actress, Lohan polled more heavily than any actor since Sofia Coppola in "The Godfather Part III" Wilson said.

"`I Know Who Killed Me' is the most fabulously brainless movie since `Showgirls,'" which Razzie voters picked as the worst movie of the 1990s, Wilson said. "By the end of it, you still don't know what happened. Are they twins or aren't they? Did she imagine it? Can I please have my hour and 50 minutes back?"

The other worst-picture nominees were "Bratz," a live-action take on the cartoon about four chic young girls; "Daddy Day Camp," with Cuba Gooding Jr. starring in a sequel to Murphy's "Daddy Day Care"; and "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry," Adam Sandler and Kevin James' comedy about firefighters posing as a gay couple.

Sandler and Gooding joined Murphy in the worst-actor category, along with Nicolas Cage for "Ghost Rider" and Jim Carrey for "The Number 23."

Jessica Alba Is Also Nominated For The Worst Performance

Lohan was cited twice as worst actress for "I Know Who Killed Me," while the four "Bratz" stars Logan Browning, Janel Parrish, Nathalia Ramos and Skyler Shaye shared a nomination. Also nominated were Jessica Alba for three films, "Awake," "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" and "Good Luck Chuck"; Elisha Cuthbert for "Captivity"; and Diane Keaton for "Because I Said So."

Along with Murphy, supporting actor included Orlando Bloom for "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End," James and Rob Schneider for "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" and Jon Voight for "Bratz," "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," "September Dawn" and "Transformers."

Besides Murphy, supporting actress nominees were Jessica Biel for "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" and "Next," Carmen Electra for "Epic Movie," Julia Ormond for "I Know Who Killed Me" and Nicollette Sheridan for "Code Name: The Cleaner."

A spoof of Hollywood awards, the Razzies made their announcement the day before the Oscar nominations come out. Razzie "winners" will be announced Feb. 23, a day before the Oscars.

Britney Splits - K-Fed Keeps The Kids

Britney Spears may not completely lacking in maternal instincts after all, but it didn't help get her kids back. After Spears bailed on what was described as a "pivotal" hearing Monday, a Los Angeles court commissioner refused to reinstate any visitation rights for the troubled pop star.

As the morning session of the custody hearing wound down with no sign of Spears, multiple sources told E! News that she was weighing the possibility of showing up for the afternoon session. Her lawyer, Sorrell Trope, even phoned the pop star from the courthouse, imploring her to come.

Kevin Federline, on the other hand, showed up early, arriving just after 9 a.m. at the Los Angeles County Courthouse for the 9:30 a.m. hearing, which was closed to outsiders.

Amid much frenzy, the "Gimme More" singer finally appeared at the Los Angeles County Courthouse around 1:30 pm Monday, ostensibly to fight for the right to see her boys.

However, Spears pal Sam Lutfi told E! News via text message that the throngs of paparazzi awaiting the singer's arrival made it impossible for her to enter the building, as there was "no way to get her out of the car safely." Spears' entourage, including current boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, circled three times before giving up.

Instead, Lutfi told E! News he took Spears to church and then to get some lunch. The group dined at a Gaucho Grill restaurant near her Studio City home. In the meantime, the hearing resumed without her.

And when the dust settled Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon upheld an order barring Spears from seeing her sons, leaving the boys in the sole care of Federline at least until the next hearing, scheduled for Feb. 19.

Spears' visiting privileges were revoked earlier this month, after she refused to turn two-year-old Sean Preston and 16-month-old Jayden James over to Federline at the appointed time, leading to a three-hour showdown with police and emergency medical technicians.

The 26-year-old singer was subsequently hospitalized and placed on an involuntary hold at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on the grounds that she was a potential danger to herself or others.

Monday's hearing was called to discuss the well-publicized meltdown and to give Spears the opportunity to provide her side of the story.

"She will have the opportunity to persuade the court that she can have some visitation under monitored conditions," Federline attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said ahead of the hearing.

Both police and paramedics who responded to the situation were expected to testify at the hearing, which could last longer than one day, given the number of witnesses due to be called.

Sources close to Federline's camp told E! News Kaplan intended to ask the court to extend the suspension of Spears' visiting privileges until April in light of her recent behavior.

Britney Spears Attempted Suicide?

It was reported that Britney Spears attempted to commit a suicide and has been put into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for testing to see if she was under the influence of alcohol or drugs and for a psychological evaluation.

Spears appeared to be conscious as she was rolled out of her Studio City home on a gurney about three hours after police and ambulances arrived there. Doctors at Cedars-Sinai will decide if to invoke a California law that allows a patient to be held for psychological evaluation for 72 hours, the police spokesman said.

The police also mentioned that the children were returned to their father, Kevin Federline, who has primary legal custody of the two sons.

Comments on Britney's Pregnant Sister

Here is the article wrote by Jim DeBrosse of DayTonDailyNews. It's a long one...but the most interesting part is the comments received for this article. Everybody seems to have different opinion on Britney's sister and on her pregnancy at the young age of 16.

Highlight from the article....

She's 16, single and pregnant, and the star of one of the top-rated children's shows on TV.

But local parents were far more sympathetic than scornful that Jamie Lynn Spears is following sister Britney into early motherhood.

"Yes, young people do look up to her, but she's also learning and growing herself," said Laura Joslin, 38, of Englewood. "She has been thrown into a grown-up world and she has had to pay the consequences."

Don Byrge, 57, of Springboro said he didn't think it would be fair to remove Spears from her role on "Zoey 101," the most popular show on Nickelodeon: "She's a kid. Kids make mistakes."........
