For Etheridge, Oscar Nod Is a Dream: "Melissa Etheridge knows all about labels. First there was the 'rock goddess' with the classic hit, 'Come to My Window.' Then there was 'lesbian singer.' Then came 'cancer survivor.' Now there's 'Oscar nominee.'
Etheridge, 45, competes in the best-song category for the anthem 'I Need to Wake Up' from the global-warming documentary, 'An Inconvenient Truth.'"

iWon News - Laughs End With Bizarre Britney in Rehab: "The 25-year-old pop star has been seen wearing skimpy outfits and partying heavily since filing for divorce from Kevin Federline in November, after two years of marriage.

Spears' very public divorce isn't helping matters, said Saltz, who also suggested that Spears could be suffering from postpartum depression."

Bash Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins (hell...burn Jane Fonda at the stake if you listen to most of Fox's "news-ish" teleprompter readers) and then elect Reagan and Mr. Terminator...yeah...okay?
Pop culture is politics and politics is pop culture...
