You probably heard by now that some important nominations got announced this morning: the Razzies! We like that they nominated Hilary Duff and Haylie Duff together, as one entity, for Worst Actress in Material Girls. We're kind of sad that Kristanna Loken got nominated in that category, too, though, because we went to her movie premiere party in Philly and interviewed her and took a picture of her and everything.

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Finally, a movie about pro fishing! No, seriously. It's called Fishing on the Edge: The Mike Iaconelli Story, and it's on its way to theaters near you! Apparently Iaconelli is a local boy (from New Jersey) and co-wrote the film.
