• The Academy Awards show airs live on ABC Sunday from the Dolby Theater on Hollywood Boulevard. Everyone in the movie business will be sitting in the theater. There's only one other place where all the stars traditionally gather at one place, and that's the Betty Ford Clinic.
• The Brooklyn Nets' new signee Jason Collins became the first openly gay player to play in an NBA game Sunday . It's like a breath of fresh air. After three games he's already set a league record for most number of consecutive days without being served with a paternity suit.
• The Independence Bowl in Shreveport severed its advertising ties to Advocare Monday and signed on with Duck Commander. It's the duck call made by the gay-boycotted Duck Dynasty family. Watch for a halftime show with the worst choreography in bowl game history.
• George W. Bush holds an art show of his paintings at his presidential library in April. His health is much improved. George W. Bush was president for eight full years even though he suffered two nagging medical problems, electile dysfunction and premature congratulations.
• Home Depot announced it's been forced to cut health insurance benefits for its part-time workers at the stores due to the expense of Obamacare. The CEO of Home Depot said he had a hard time breaking the news to employees. That's because it took him three hours to find one.
• South Africa Olympic hero Oscar Pistorious went on trial for murdering his girlfriend. He says he accidentally shot her through his bathroom door thinking she was a burglar. The alibi is so bad, Apartheid is now the second-most embarrassing thing South Africa's had to live down.
