Sacha Baron Cohen is nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay for his blockbuster comedy Borat, but he’s turned down an invite to present during the awards show.
His rep isn’t commenting, but I hear Cohen isn’t comfortable appearing before such a large group out of character.
That is really sad!!! But I can understand.
I have hope that Sacha will begin to get more comfortable in front of crowds within the next few years. You can do it.

Anna Nicole Smith’s body can be released, a California judge said on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, Florida Circuit Judge Lawrence Korda, citing a California court’s order for DNA testing on Smith, ruled that the former Playmate’s body should be held as part of the ongoing custody battle over Smith’s 5-month-old daughter, Dannielynn.
However, a Los Angeles judge subsequently rescinded the DNA order, which opens the way for the body to be released.
“California has no need for the body of Anna Nicole,” James Neavitt, an attorney for Smith’s companion, Howard K. Stern, told the Associated Press.
In Florida, attorneys for photographer Larry Birkhead, 34, one of a few men claiming to be the baby’s father, had petitioned the court to uphold the earlier California ruling. However, his lawyer Debra Opri, issued a statement saying they would not fight the release of the body.
“Based upon the determination of our lab this weekend that we had sufficient DNA samples, we notified both parties we have no problem with the release of the body of Anna Nicole Smith,” Opri said in a statement Wednesday.
“We are satisfied at this point that a Florida court will turn over the DNA samples necessary to satisfy the California courts paternity test order.” May she rest in peace next to her son Daniel. Unfortunately, apparently Howard and Anna’s mom are feuding over her dead body too.

Radio shock jock Howard Stern, 53, who once said he would never again marry, has finally decided to make an honest woman of his long-time girlfriend, model Beth Ostrosky, 34.
Stern announced today on his Sirius Satellite Radio show that he had popped the question the evening before and that Ostrosky had said yes. Stern went on to say that he had a 5.2 carat emerald cut diamond ring designed for Ostrosky and that no wedding date had been set.
The couple has been dating since 2000. This will be the second marriage for Stern who was previously married to his college sweetheart, Alison Berns, for 22 years before filing for divorce in 2000.
Howard spent their entire relationship saying he would never get married again, but Beth held on. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Robyn Troup, the 19-year-old singer from Houston who won the chance to sing with Justin Timberlake at the Grammys Sunday, was tossed from “American Idol 6″ in Tuesday’s telecast.
Troup made it through the first round in Hollywood and was sent packing during the group round when she sang with fellow Texas contestant Sundance Head and another woman. Her disqualification was based on her not performing well enough for the judges.
While she won the Grammy contest, she pretty much did not reach the top 50 on Fox’s “Idol.” For the “My Grammy Moment” contest, Troup beat out thousands of other contestants who submitted videos of unaccompanied singing.
Grammy viewers voted online to select a winner, but during the Grammy competition, no mention was made of Troup being an “Idol” contestant.
American Idol makes dreams come true and all that cliche crap, but their judging is ridiculous. I still can’t believe that Clay Aiken got cut and he came back as a wild card? That queen can sing!
And viewers just don’t know how to vote. I wonder what Robyn’s gonna do next? I think she has a bright future ahead of her as a video ho.
SOW
