WORST IDEA: The Oscar hosts

There's a reason comedians usually host these things -- comedians are funny. Anne Hathaway and James Franco are not and Franco is so over-exposed he actually appeared in the daydream I had while being bored by the Oscars.

He will break your heart. You will write a song about it. That song will sound like every other song you have ever written. Teen girls will swoon. Millions of albums will sell.

WORST IDEA: Toyota recalls 2.1 million more vehicles to prevent gas pedals jams

I'm a little concerned about that family in the commercial where they keep passing down the Corollas.

WORST IDEA: Egyptian names baby "Facebook"

I get that Facebook helped in this whole faux revolution, and I even like the sentiment, but should a kid have to go through life with the name "Facebook?"

WORST IDEA: There's another "Big Momma" movie

America could never tire of a black guy playing a woman in a fat suit. Oh wait, we can. Your move Tyler Perry.

WORST IDEA: Fantasia Barrino skips the Grammys

Fantasia Barrino skipped the Grammys because she wasn't asked to sing in the Aretha Franklin tribute. That might be because the people who did sing were actually stars. The performers were Jennifer Hudson, an Oscar winner, Christina Aguilera, Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine (a hot new act) and Martina McBride (a major country star). Barrino has never really sold any albums and basically squandered her chances as winner of American Idol. If she was snubbed, then I was snubbed and so was everyone else not asked to sing at the Grammys. Fantasia should be happy she was invited to the Grammys.

WORST IDEA: Sarah hints at WH run, slams Obamas

She said she's qualified because as a working mom she has to multi-task. I'm a working parent, write a column, a blog, host a podcast and do significant freelance work. Can I be president too?

WORST IDEA: Lady Gaga spent 72 hours inside Grammy egg

Did it have a bathroom? Couldn't she have spent some of that time writing a better new single?

WORST IDEA: The Lady Gaga egg

We get it, you like people to talk about you. Unfortunately, the egg and your whole Grammy performance of your not-catchy, Madonna b-side of a new song, was not clever. The meat dress was ridiculous, but inspired. The egg was just a little kid mooning the crowd so people pay attention to him.

WORST IDEA: Test gets almost 1 in 5 syphilis cases wrong

On the positive side, you don't have syphilis. One the negative, the false positive that 20% of people taking the test get caused you to call every person you ever "dated" and tell them you did.

WORST IDEA: Lohan to be charged with grand theft

WORST IDEA: Tennessee Titans fire O-coordinator Mike Heimerdinger

First they interview him for the head job and a few days later they fire him. This would be reasonable if he wasn't battling cancer. Heimerdinger actually went through chemotherapy without missing a game last year and, still, he gets fired. Should be easy to get another job now that all the coaching staffs have filled up and, you still have, you know, cancer.

WORST IDEA: Christina Aguilera forgets the National Anthem

If I was singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, I would at least make an effort to memorize the words. I would also try to not look like a drag queen in a Hannah Montana wig. Christian Aguilera apparently has a different approach.

WORST IDEA: Cavs’ skid hits 24

We know you lost Lebron James, but shouldn't the Cavaliers have some pride and maybe win a game every now and then? On the positive side, losing 24 games in a row is a record, so at leas Cavaliers fans can call this "a record-setting season."

WORST IDEA: 2 Live Crew's Uncle Luke running for mayor

Isn't this the guy who wrote, "Me So Horny?" I guess that qualifies you to be mayor. His big platform piece is taxing strippers. Does the government really need more crumpled up ones?

WORST IDEA: Wear red day to fight heart disease?

First it was pink ribbons, now I have to wear red to fight heart disease? Every illness has a color and it's all just silly. I'm against heart disease. I don't like lung cancer and I'm really opposed to hepatitis. I'm just not going to dress for any of those things.

WORST IDEA: Black Eyed Peas playing .Super Bowl

Perhaps the worst example of focus group pop crap, the Black Eyed Peas are playing the Super Bowl halftime show. In past years that slot had gone to actual artists like Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and the Rolling Stones. In comparison to those acts, the Black Eyed Peas are like Taco Bell to the previous acts' Morton's. WillIam? YesUSuck.

WORST IDEA: Charlie Sheen's porn house

Charlie Sheen plans to buy a $20 million house and stock it with a virtual Noah's Ark of porn girls. He'll have two of every type and, of course, plans to pay them well for being part of his non-stop party. This seems like a great idea if you're a 13-year-old boy, but as an adult, I see a few holes in the plan.
