Weve never done this before. I miss Billy Crystal so much or somebody who made it happy. I know they had to address the subject and he did it in a fair hief fairminded way. I thought he was funny. He talked about how there werent any black actors but he talked by why are there separate categories for women and men. Im here at the Academy Awards otherwise known as the white peoples choice awards. You realize if they nominated hosts i wouldnt even get this job. So all would be watching Neil Patrick Harris right now. Year, you need to have black categories categories. Youre already dealing with men and women, think about it theres no real reason for there to be a man and woman category in acting. Theres no reason. Its not vacuum sealed. You dont have to separate them. He never said i better slow this acting down so she can catch up. Even the concept of having black categories, have asian categories too. Its got to be the best performances. People vote personally on what they thought was the best performance. I think the argument too is give more opportunities so there can be more performances so you can choose. Its been changed in the 50 years ive been in this business. People want, but ultimately i want the person to win. I think everyone would agree with that i dont think so. You do . Yeah. I feel like they were saying a lot of people dont have many opportunities to act in films because it doesnt fit this particular character so they dont have as many opportunities and when you dont have as many chances you dont is a chance to win. Ive seen so much change and all for the better. Okay. Lets move on to oscar fashion. It was big. These are some of the dresses. I saw a lot of bright colors. So you love this one right here.

So our friend and Entertainment WeeklySenior Writer tim sack is here with the juicy gossip. Thats pretty amazing. Good job. So youre here with all the juicy gossip. Moments. Some people were confused when at the oscars a girl named stacy dash from clueless came out on stage. Stacy dash is a personality, if you will. But shes a commentator on fox news but also an actress but famously said infamously a month ago came out and said black History Month didnt really need to be in existence nor b. E. T. Because she thought that created segregation. Chris rock brought her out to say shes the new ambassador of outreach for diversity. She came out and said i cant wait to help everyone. Did it fall flat . Its odd because shes a polarizing figure. What shes speaks of okay. I think people didnt understand. It was a joke but he was making a joke and it did fall flat. Leonardo dicaprio. He finally got his oscar and who was gazing at aim. Kate winslet. She just gazed at him. I was gazing at him too. He won finally. He was honored for an oscar. Its been a 20 year wait noirm. He got up and i think everyone there was a stand ovation. It was just like, everyone sort of loves him. But kate winslet was very a. Org adoringly looking at him. Thats her husband. The attention is always on leo. What did people think about i thought he was great. Its a bummer because sly was sort of overlooked years ago for rocky so overlooked again. So was Steven Spielberg and tom thanks for that same movie. Thats true. It was that title, bride of spies. Seems like a rickety bridge. Razzies. Opposite side of things, razzies are the ones to honor the worse. They were held on saturday night. So 50 shades of grey won. Fantastic four. More coming . Next two. Didnt 50 shades the mutual fund get nominated for an oscar. Yes. It wasnt their year. The weekend did get and so did eddie he won a razzie. He said he was excited. Its only 8 00 in the morning and i already won an award. Its a bad, bad movie. Jennifer garner was in vanity fair. She gave a revealing interview in vanity fair and showed up at the oscars looking hot which is the best revenge. Soups hot. So she basically said all the reports said that ben allegedly had an affair with a nanny. She said we separated months before she heard those rumblings. She said hes still the love of her life. They had three kids the evening you cant go through that without loving each other. She said she was very honest but said hes complicated. When the sun shines on you its warm and wonderful. When the sun goes way its very cold and it can be really hard when he doesnt shine on you. He cast as large shadow. That either sounds like bad or good. What kind of shah dore we talking about.

Alkaseltzer heartburn reliefchews. Enjoy the relief. Its fundaymond and were back with something we like to check out. Bobbies redo. Bobbie thomas is back with touch ups from last nights oscars. Up always feel badly about this because you love women. Youre not trying to put the ladies down. Definitely about having fun with fashion and i love interacting with you on my social media. Youre asking me what if these two ladies swapped. This was the magic wand that we waved over the red carpet and absolute favorites. Julianne moore, stunning in chanel. Lady gaga one of her best looks. So interesting and pretty. I couldnt help but wonder what it would look like if they swapped. Because lady gaga is so blonde. Look at Julianne Moores hair with that red and white combination. And lady gaga with the black. This look on lady gaga is washing her out. Its look. Its a little more contrast with the black. I like the blonde with the cutouts. Its sophisticated. She wore Brandon Maxwell and that was chanel. Next brie. I thought brie her first oscar red carpet i loved that this gucci dress. Jennifer garner stunning. The only thing i couldnt help wonder was what if they swapped because i think her hair may bright blue. So you see jennifers brown hair and blue grabbed the contrast together. Brie being her first oscar plus she won something timeless and classic that was something i would love to see. Shes very young. This seems like an older dress to me. Thats true. I think she did great with this. Its what it would have looked like. Now cate blanchett. She can pull dresses out and it doesnt look like a disney dress. However, i thought with jennifers new hair color what if she had done something more colorful. She always wears black, red, navy. So lets take a look. Jennifer in a little bit of color. Such an interesting kind of softer look and cate does no wrong. She can wear pretty much anything. Its unbelievable. Interesting. Now kate winslet. Shes one of my favorite people in hollywood. She chose a fashion forward fabric. It was a custom dress. The only thing i wanted to see it was a heavy color and really kind of blocking. So i wanted to see her in a different ralph lauren dress. This was on his collection. It was on the runway. Something that was interesting about this more slimming. It elongates her frame. When you wear strapless it can cut you. Youre seeing this length. Here with this asymmetrical shoulder and diagonal die as youre looking at an eye line like this. The drape on the dress goes out and this hip brings in. This was something that lightened her up overall and i thought in general i just thing shes so stunning its cool she pulled something new off. Shes been to so many of these i like that. Next sofia vergar. She often wears a dress that looks similar to the one she wore before. Its her signature look. She knows how to pull it off. Is more more, or is less more . She has such statement earrings on. I liked the original. I thought well it lets the structure of the dress stand out but shes so this is marcasa. They are known for ornate construction or embellishment. Beauty is another big trend that pops up on the carpet. Red eyes. This red eye shadow, coppery pink. People are doing it in kind of its not a good look for me. It can make your eyes look im curious if people at home do they like this look or not like this look . We do love everybody. I liked this one. Thank you. Oscar fashions arent the only thing trending, unfortunately, so is the flu. How do you know you have it or cold or allergies. The doctor is in right after this. My son and i used to watch the red carpet shows on tv now, im walking them. Life is unpredictable one thing i need to be predictable is to be flake free. Because i have used head and shoulders for 20 years. Used regularly, it removes up to 100 of flakes keeping you protected every week, every month, every year you ready ma . Always life is unpredictable, so embrace it head and shoulders. Live flake free for life a heart attack doesnt care if you run everyday, or if youre young or old. A heart attack can happen without warning. If youve had a heart attack, a bayer aspirin regimen can help prevent another one. Be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. If you havent gotten the flu this season youre not out of the woods yet. Why the cdc says this years vaccine is the most feekive in the last few tweaks flu has seen a sudden end spike. Is it too late to get the flu coming on earlier than ever. Here to help us is dr. Natalie azar. People what was gotten the flu who got the flu shot. Reading that stat is surprising. Flu shot effectiveness is up to 59 . What is it normally. Thats good. Usually 50 to 60 . We dont get to 100 . This years flu vaccine, the strains that are covered are covering the predominant strain thats circulating right now. They got it right. They got it right this year. You should still get your flu shot now. Absolutely. Still get it. Were just getting to sort of the thick of it right now and flu season lasts until may. Two weeks to inoculate. Flu or something else. Fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, fatigue a couple of the symptoms. How do you distinguish between flu and common cold. Has to do with the severity of the symptoms. With flu youre knocked out. Youre too tired to even watch tv. Youre exhausted. Usually comes on quickly. Youre really sick for two to three days. One thing to mention, if you improve from the flu and then a couple of days later you get sick again worry about a secondary pneumonia. Thats something to remind people of. What do you . Are you supposed to take an antibiotic . If youre a young adult and relatively healthy stay at home. Older than 65 or younger than teenage of 2 and we have a monitor, people another higher risk include people whose immune systems are kmd or pregnant. You should be tested. Antivirals within the first 48 hours. They lessen the severity, duration and complications. Something like tamiflu. And two others are available. Lets talk allergies. People say i have allergies when you think flu. Allergy season, sadly we always associate allergy season with spring. They are seasonal. But they can start in february. A few factors that will also, you know, increase or earlier the on set of the allergy season has to do with the winter weve had. We had a mild winter. Plants are pollinating early. The birds are going crazy. Its been wetter. More mold. Pollen is the highest amount. Dry windy. Sometimes when theres a lot of rain washing the pollen away it take your topicals. Your overthecounter. Basically thats the last allergy treatment. Allergy shots too. Couple of things. Can you prevent it . If youre allergic to something can you cure yourself of the allergy . Not necessarily. One thing, know what your triggers are. If you know that running outside in the morning, exercise inside. Close your windows. Close your screens. Use air conditioning. Check your pollen counts. Get that with the weather report. Outside doing yard work, take a shower. Wash your hair. In terms of treatment so, yeah. The first line is definitely overthecounter. Use antihistamine and i
