Los Angeles, CA, United States (CNS) – Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock are both so superb in their acting that critics couldn’t choose between them. The women were stunned when their names were both called for the Best Actress trophy at the Critics Choice Awards on Friday.

“Bullsh**!” Bullock told the audience during her acceptance speech. “I did not prepare. This is an honor. It is a great honor to be in the company of the extraordinary women I was so lucky to be nominated with, because this one here inspired me to do everything better.”

“For the critics, I bet you never saw this coming. You might never again.”

Bullock, who won for “The Blind Side,” kissed her co-winner “Juie & Julia” star Streep full on the mouth to show her appreciation for the honor.

Jeff Bridges, meanwhile, was the lone winner for Best Actor for his role in “Crazy Heart.”

“Inglourous Basterds” was victorious at the event. Not only did Quentin Tarantino edge out the others for Best Original Screenplay, the film also took home Best Acting Ensemble and Best Supporting Actor for Christoph Waltz.

At this point, Conan O’Brien has to be the most beloved person suffering from ginger-vitis on the planet.

I’m not knocking the gingers, I happen to love me some Irish bacon. But the Conan O’Brien support is reaching a frenzy, with dedicated fans leaving the house to attend rallies in support of their beloved Coco. Several Facebook groups and Twitter are being used to organize the groups, and LA-area Conan fans are gathering outside the studio where the Tonight Show is filmed to protest Conan’s sucky treatment in person.

Mike Mitchell, maker of the iconic “I’m with Coco” picture, tweeted that hardcore fans have been waiting in the rain for the party since last night. This message was posted to a Facebook group called “I’m with Coco,” and the image below shows the damp and disgruntled Conan fans outside Universal City:

It’s time to show NBC what’s up. We will be rallying in front of Conan’s studio at the Universal lot, to show support for our beloved Coco.

The artist, Mike Mitchell will be in attendance and will be bringing posters/signs banners and shirts to hand out to help support the cause.

This will be getting nationwide media attention, so be there to help show Coco you love him!

Please RSVP to let us know what to expect, and please check http://www.tonightshowwithconanobrien.com/tickets/directions.shtml to get completely horrible directions on how to get there. We will be meeting at Gate 2 though, not 3.

Are you REALLY with Coco?

WEAR ORANGE!

The Red Cross will be in attendance to collect donations so bring some cash and support a really good cause!”

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have upset their London neighbors over plans to build a fence.

The couple, who have lived in their $5.7 million North London property since 2004, have been blasted for their “over the top” security measures after requesting planning permission to erect a 10-foot metal security barrier.

A neighbor told the Daily Telegraph newspaper, “It’s rather over the top. Who cares who he is? You can’t get round the side of the houses and into the gardens anyway. Other houses in the street are as much at risk of opportunist burglaries as his is. We don’t ask for huge fences between our homes.”

The couple’s plans involve replacing a smaller wooden fence on top of a brick wall, for security reasons.

Chris and Gwyneth, who have five-year-old daughter Apple and three-year-old son Moses, are not the only famous faces to have annoyed their neighbors with troublesome outside structures.

Last year, Kate Moss received a letter from her local council after people in her London street complained about a stench from her drains and a crumbling garden wall.

One local resident said, “I think the wall is an accident waiting to happen. Young children walk past it every day on the way to school and it looks as if it could topple over at any time.

“There is a huge crack right through the middle of it and Kate needs to do something about it.”

Sarah Jessica Parker loves how her son is becoming “a good little human being”.

The ‘Sex and the City’ actress, who has seven-year-old James Wilkie and six-month-old twin daughters, Marion Loretta and Tabitha Hodge, with husband Matthew Broderick, is determined to instill good characteristics into her children and believes her hard work is already paying off with her eldest child.

She said, “The idea of ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you…’ I fall short of it constantly, but I try.

“I’ve been working on it with James Wilkie since the time he was a little fellow and could really understand language.

“I’m so proud of who my son’s becoming and how hard he works to be a good little human being.”

The 44-year-old star also says becoming a mother has changed her outlook on life.

She explained in an interview with Gotham magazine, “The hardest days for your children become your hardest days. Your most triumphant moments are when you see them feel good about themselves — to see your child learn how to read and ask questions.”

Okay so they haven’t made Mythbusters The Movie yet (yet!) but the show gets a movie poster treatment from the master himself - Drew Struzan (Star Wars fame).

So this is what the Mythbuster team would look like if they were secret agents eh …..

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green have reportedly got engaged again.

The ‘Transformers’ beauty and the former ‘Beverly Hills 90210’ star, who called off their engagement last year, are said to again be planning to wed after Brian revealed his marital status on twitter.

When one of his followers asked Brian if he was married with kids, he replied, “Engaged and have a son from my previous relationship.”

He also revealed that he was sitting “right next to” Megan while he answered.

He added, “I live in Los Angeles, but am in New Mexico right now while Megan films a movie.”

Megan, 23, and Brian, 36 split last February after five years together, claiming they both wanted to concentrate on their careers.

A source said: “The relationship had run its course. It’s completely amicable, and they are remaining friends. They are both focusing on their careers.”

Megan had previously said their nuptials would be low-key.

She revealed, “It’s not going to be a big wedding. I’m not one of those girls – If it happens, it will be very low-key and quick and unplanned.”

P. Diddy wanted to be a bin man.

The rap mogul, best known for his lavish lifestyle and string of girlfriends, told the crowd at the BET Honor Awards that he admired garbage disposal men as a child.

He claimed to like watching their “synchronized art and work ethic”.

The BET Honor Awards honors five black Americans for achievement in areas ranging from entrepreneurship to public service and education.

P. Diddy, real name Sean Combs, picked up the award for entrepreneurship while singer-and-actress Queen Latifah won the prize for media.

Also at the ceremony, which will be broadcast in the US on February 1, Jennifer Hudson was given a standing ovation by Whitney Houston after performing one of the diva’s best known hits ‘I Will Always Love You’.

Whitney was then given the BET Honour for Entertainment by ‘So Sick’ hitmaker Ne-Yo.

Debra L Lee, BET Networks chairman, highlighted the plight of earthquake-struck Haiti during the event.

She said, “Before this disaster, BET Networks, in celebration of its 30th anniversary, was set to donate thirty thousand dollars every month for a year to an organization that has dedicated itself to working towards a brighter future for the African American community.

“In light of the devastation in Haiti, BET plans to donate the first grant to immediate emergency relief in Haiti.”

Accomplished educator Dr. Ruth Simmons and neurosurgeon Dr. Keith Black were also honored, for education and public service respectively, at the ceremony, which took place at the Warner Theater in Washington.

A year after her famous and famously maligned set of octuplets were born, Octomom Nadya Suleman showed off her post-baby (and ostensibly post surgery) body in a set of OMG WTF bikini pictures.

Seriously, OMG? WTF? How did she go from the infamous pre-baby picture to that? Her body looks fantastic- her face is still weirdly warped from too much obvious plastic surgery.

Tobey Maguire has reportedly agreed to take the lead role in ‘The Hobbit’.

The 34-year-old actor, who is said to have signed up to play Bilbo Baggins in the movie adaptation of JRR Tolkien’s classic book, had been pursued by producer Peter Jackson and director Guillermo del Toro for some time because they knew he’d be perfect for the part.

A movie source told The Sun newspaper, “We’re thrilled. Tobey’s one of Hollywood’s most recognizable and best actors.”

The ‘Brothers’ actor, who pulled out from the fourth ‘Spider-Man’ movie last week, had previously been unable to commit to the project due to scheduling restraints.

Rumors that Tobey could play the character of Bilbo first surfaced last month, but he dispelled them at the time, though he admitted he would be interested if he were approached.

He said, “I have not met or spoken to the director Guillermo del Toro or the producer Peter Jackson or anybody. Nobody has given me a script or approached me about it.

“I love Guillermo del Toro and Peter Jackson and I certainly wouldn’t take myself out of the conversation.”

Filming for ‘The Hobbit’ begins this summer, and it will be split into two movies, set for release in 2011 and 2012.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand are yet to set a wedding date.

The ‘I Kissed A Girl’ singer and the British comedian got engaged on New Year’s Eve, December 31, after a whirlwind romance but Katy insists they will only tie the knot when they feel the time is right, despite recent reports they had already advised friends of which dates to keep free for the ceremony.

She said, “We love each other and we desperately want to be with each other, so we’re going to take it as we come.

“I think the right time will be the right time.”

Katy says humor is the key to her relationship with Russell as they can always make each other laugh, but also credited the ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ star’s romantic ways as keeping their union strong.

She said, “Humour is a very big part of our lives, and when things get difficult, we just have a laugh.

“He’s the most romantic man I’ve ever been in contact with – ever! I didn’t think anyone could ever live up to that.”

The ‘Hot N Cold’ hitmaker also revealed how the couple first met when she hurled an empty water bottle at his head at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) in September.

She told gossip website Wonderwall, “I threw an empty water bottle at his head across Radio City Music Hall at the VMAs and it hit him straight in the head and I said ‘Hiiiiiiii!!’ And from then on it’s always been like ‘Oh God…’ So thanks, empty water bottle.”
