“I think that’s why Meryl Streep is working so much, because she looks like a woman we can all relate to. I look at her and I think, ‘I’m chasing my kids, I’ve moved my parents in with me, I’m coping with food spills—that looks like me in real life’. Meryl looks like an unmade bed. That’s what I look like. To me, that looks true.”

“I feel like a model. It justifies everyone in my life who told me I wouldn’t be anything until I lost weight. It justifies that little girl who cried because she didn’t think she could be in front of the camera. And it’s for other girls who feel like they can’t do this or that and feel like they’re not pretty and not worthy of having their photo taken.”

Last night’s People Choice Awards seemed to be rolling along without incident. Queen Latifah hosted, Susan Boyle performed “I Dreamed a Dream,” Sandra Bullock won two awards, Taylor Swift won Favorite Female Artist without a word from Kanye West, and everyone is still obsessed with Johnny Depp, natch. Mariah Carey—who was probably still recovering from what had to be a killer hangover after her soused acceptance speech at the Palm Springs Film Festival—won the award for Favorite R & B Artist. As she hobbled up to the stage in a way-too-tight dress with the support of hubby Nick Cannon, things got interesting. She thanked her fans for being her “extended family.” Then she thanked Nick for helping her with her dress “which [was] a drama” and for “other things [I] probably shouldn’t mention.” Like what? Helping her get sober after awards shows? The whole thing was suspiciously odd. Painkillers or vodka? It was hard to tell.
But Mimi’s not the only one to give bad acceptance speeches. Ironically, it seems like we always remember the uncomfortable, bizarre, and cheesy ones. After the jump, the best of the worst acceptance speeches. [AOL, PopEater]
“When it comes to family and relationships, I’m quite traditional. Just because of the way I was raised. And I also believe in God and I have a lot of faith in that, so I just felt like you don’t mess with things like that. I guess deep down, I really felt like either [pregnancy] is not going to happen for me or it is. You know what I mean? And if it is, it will. And if it’s not, it’s not going to.”

Oh, there’s something about men in uniform when you know they’ve got British accents, too! Prince Harry (my fave) posed with his brother Prince William for a painting by artist Nicky Phillips to hang in London’s National Portrait Gallery. [Times of London UK]
Photoshop Fail: Emma Watson‘s leg disappears in one of the new Burberry ads. But does she really need all her limbs when she has brother Alex to lean on and is the highest-grossing actress of the decade? [BuzzFeed]
Doesn’t celebrity gossip sometimes feel like a game of Mad Libs? There are definite repeated themes—couplings, uncouplings, rehab, infidelity, and general scandal. And yet, there’s so much sheer randomness at work that it sometimes seems like all of the underlined words were picked out of some cosmic grab bag by a kid who has been told to choose celebrity names, adjective, location, types of cats and film genres. After the jump, a few celebrity Mad Libs games for you to try. Give your versions in the comments, mkay?
