Blerd Briefs: Rihanna & Nicki Lead The AMA Pack
The nominees for the 2012 American Music Awards were announced earlier today, and the 20 categories are dotted by the likes of Rihanna and Nicki Minaj. The two West Indian divas lead the pack with four nominations each.

Oscar Forget-Me-Nots on V-Day
The nominations for the 84th Annual Academy Awards were announced last month, and the snubs still make me cry. OK, not really, but I’m still pissed. For starters, Michael Fassbender, who had been garnering attention for several breakthrough performances this year (not to mention going the full monty in one of them), was left off the Best Actor list for his work in Shame. Even more remarkable was how Leonardo DiCaprio was stiffed for his transformational work in J. Edgar. […]
