Gabourey Sidibe, Glee’s Amber Riley, Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz, Taraji P. Henson, Keri Hilson, Nick Cannon, and former Cosby Show actresses Raven-Symone and Keshia Knight Pulliam were among the stars on the red carpet.
The biggest winner of the night was Precious, which won six awards including Outstanding Motion Picture, Outstanding Independent Motion Picture and Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards for Gabourey Sidibe and Mo’Nique, respectively.

 Bachelor host Chris Harrison feels really sorry for disgraced contestant Rozlyn Papa — he hopes she rises above and becomes a “better person.”
Why? Because she allegedly — OK, most likely — had physical relations with a male producer behind Jake Pavelka’s back, then lied about it. Rozlyn left the show bathed in scandal, the producer got canned and Jake went back to handing out roses to his 20 other prospects.
Rozlyn denied the affair on last night’s Women Tell All special — Chris led the inquisition, the other ladies pounced (“I saw you making out on the stoop!!”) and Rozlyn — digging herself deeper into a hole — uttered this blasphemous statement: “On my child’s life, that never happened.”
Damn, Roz. That was a low blow. We can’t even.
Then she accused Chris of hitting on the axed producer’s wife in New Zealand (ha), and he fired back on his EW.com blog:
It was a desperate attempt by a very desperate woman to create a diversion and deflect the spotlight from herself as she had done several times throughout the interview when she felt backed into a corner by the overwhelming truth. I was extremely disappointed that Rozlyn would stoop to that level and bring my family and me into this already sad and unfortunate situation. Beyond the fact that it’s just flat out not true, that comment was well beyond the line of decency and speaks volumes to the kind of person Rozlyn is. My wife, who I’ve been with since I was 18 and have been married to for over 16 years, was in the audience that night and got as big a laugh out of Rozlyn’s comment as I did.
We get where Chris is coming from — Rozlyn WAS out of line — but his patronizing tone does not sit well with us. Namely because the show needs troublemakers like Rozlyn to build buzz and get people talking, so while she should come clean about seducing the producer, publicly attacking her bad morals — and hoping she becomes a better person through all of this — flies directly in the face of what this successful show is all about: cheesy Vegas production values, tacky and desperado contestants putting their dignity on the line to get the guy (and sometimes bending the truth in the process).
Don’t feel sorry for Rozlyn, Chris. And don’t pretend The Bachelor is the Most Moral Show In Reality-Television History.
Make Rozlyn the next Bachelorette. Let’s start the campaign now.

 Dear American celebrities in Vancouver,
We know you’re having fun at the Olympics and all, and the Vancouver gift suites are totally hooking you up, but news flash: You aren’t Canadian. Take off that admittedly slick-looking jacket, you traitor! Who cares if the Canadians are welcoming hosts, plying you with warm beverages and maple-flavored treats (this is what we imagine Canadians eat), giving you directions, saying “eh,” and being overall a warm, congenial people. Everybody’s patriotic around Olympics time, and you, sirs, are repping the wrong country.
Think you can fly under the radar? We see you, Glee stars. Corey Monteith gets a pass because he is, in fact, from the Great White North. But Mark Salling, take off that Canada jacket. You’re from Texas. Ditto to you, Kevin McHale.
Jon Hamm, you might be showing support for your Canadian prisoner buddy Michael Buble, but you’re from St. Louis. You should be wearing red, white, and blue, not just red and white. (Though thank you for not wearing your Canada swag at the USA-Canada men’s hockey game. That would just be unforgivable.)
So shape up, traitors, and start supporting your country (for the rest of the Olympics, anyway).
Glad we could clear this up,
Crushable
P.S. Here at Crushable, we root for Canada because our boss is Canadian. So feel free to send your swag this way.

 Welcome to Crush This, your weekly guide to what’s new in movies, music, TV, and DVD. We’ve navigated the upcoming release calendars in search of all the pop culture landscape has to offer. On deck this week are Daniel Merriweather’s album Love & War, The September Issue on DVD, Olympic figure skating, and the new police comedy, Cop Out.
Music:
Daniel Merriweather’s Love & War finally gets a Stateside release on Tuesday. You might recognize the soulful Aussie from Mark Ronson’s “Stop Me,” a cover of The Smiths’ song “Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before” that appeared on Mark’s album, Version. Several famous faces appear on Love & War, which was produced by Mark, including last year’s Best New Artist Grammy winner Adele, rapper Wale, and Sean Lennon.
Movies:
You could opt for Cop Out, the Tracy Morgan/Bruce Willis buddy cop movie formerly titled A Couple of Dicks. The hilarity of the red band trailer made up for the so-so jokes in the first one — it more accurately portrays director Kevin Smith’s raunchy sense of humor. Bonus: The O.C.’s Adam Brody is in it!
Other options: You could see The Crazies. Because it’s called The Crazies. We’re not exactly sure what it’s about. Do you really care, though?
TV:
If keeping up with the Olympics isn’t your thing, BBC America will begin airing the second season of the critically acclaimed British comedy The Inbetweeners, about the pains of teenage life, on Wednesday. Ah, the awkwardness of adolescence — we can all relate.
If keeping up with the Olympics is your thing, the ladies’ figure skating medals will be handed out on Thursday night. Highlights for the rest of the week include various ski events. (Do you know how many ski events there are? A lot. More than we ever knew existed.)
DVD:
We loved The September Issue when it was in theaters, so we’re glad it’s finally getting a DVD release tomorrow. The documentary follows Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour and creative director Grace Coddington as they prepare the mammoth September 2007 fashion issue. We want to take the day off to watch The September Issue on continuous loop, if only to re-watch Grace steal the show and Anna in her icy element.
