As to be expected, it includes a great deal of information that will likely have the bigwigs behind the Church of Scientology not so happy, including more details on the totally bizarre "wife-auditions" for the church's most public supporter, Tom Cruise.

The Duchess of Cambridge's first official portrait was unveiled Friday.The Duchess of Cambridge's first official royal portrait was unveiled Friday morning at London's National Portrait Gallery, and though she seems to be happy with the final result, reviews of the painting have been decidedly mixed.

"It looks like Paul Emsley was going for an 'old masters' look with this painting. She has a half-smile, a Mona Lisa smile, which is very mysterious—like she has a secret," Robin Cembalest, executive editor of ARTNews, told Yahoo! Shine.

The main complaint from artists and critics is that the portrait makes Kate look old. "How does one manage to make a gorgeous, youthful and lithe woman like Kate look like this elderly spinster?" asked Tom Sykes at The Daily Beast. "Kate Middleton's portrait is unveiled and she looks 53!" read a headline at The Stir website.

In 2010, actress Sandra Bullock won a Razzie for Worst Actress and an Oscar in the same weekend and was a great sport about it.

This year, the nominees for Worst Actress are spot on.

Katherine Heigl for One for the Money
What was this movie about, anyway? Something to do with Gerard Butler being a bounty hunter, we don't even remember. Katherine Heigl has as much appeal as a stale piece of white bread or the worst taste in scripts, or both.
