Milli Vanilli were truly ahead of their time. These days every pop "artist" that gets a Grammy doesn't really sing either.

What Oscar-winning actress graciously accepted a "razzie" award on this day in 2005 for her portrayal of Catwoman?

howard · Post by **howard** » Wed Feb 26, 2014 9:47 pm

I was gonna make a joke about this actress and the word 'graciously' being incompatible. Then I looked it up, and found this quote:

"I want to thank Warner Bros. for casting me in this piece-of-sh--, god-awful movie…"

Guess that is as close to gracious as she can muster.

"I want to thank Warner Bros. for casting me in this piece-of-sh--, god-awful movie…"

Meow! But damned if she didn't look incredibly sexy in the costume.
