No Fooling! Sacha Baron Cohen's Dictator Not Wanted at the Oscars
Well, what do you know? The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences doesn't want Sacha Baron Cohen showing up at the Oscars dressed as a nightmarish hybrid of Moammar Gadhafi and Idi Amin.
But they're not so against the idea that they've disinvited the otherwise-estimable funnyman from the ceremony entirely.
"We've made our position clear to Mr. Cohen's team," an Academy rep tells E! News. "We'd love to have him at the show, but the ball is in his court."
And what is that position, exactly?

So what's the hold up?

Who expected romance from Adam Sandler's corner today?!
But that's just what Jennifer Aniston got from her Just Go With It pal, who was on hand to see the actress get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her film career.
"Everyone loves this girl—my wife loves this girl, Justin Theroux loves this girl," Sandler informed the crowd, referring of course to Aniston's multitasking boyfriend, who was there in double capacity Wednesday as both her main man and her costar in Wanderlust (out Friday, natch).
Not that Sandler disappointed on the comedic front or anything...

Helena Bonham Carter Made CBE by Queen—but Did Her Daughter Interrupt the Ceremony?
Queen Mum, meet the queen? Well, that was probably a bit surreal.
She may have played Queen Elizabeth II's mother in The King's Speech, but earlier today it was Helena Bonham Carter who was giddy as a child as she was made a CBE—that is, Commander of the British Empire—by the monarch.
But it didn't all go quite as smoothly as she would have liked...
