Studies are accruing that indicate television viewing as a sure path to criminal behavior.

There is just too much growing evidence.

A clinical trial published online in the US journal of Pediatrics found that the risk of having a criminal conviction by early adulthood increased by about 30% with every hour that children spent watching TV on an average weeknight.

Another study at the University of Michigan discovered that men and women who watched violent television as kids are more likely to have antisocial personality traits in adulthood, leading to increased criminal behavior.

Okay. So why not video games?

Is an active gaming engagement less harmful

than a passive TV observance?

I don’t get it.

two best, two worst and the winners

near miss:

Giorgio Armani has a legendary eye, but I think he missed with this custom gown for Naomi Watts. She looks like she wandered off the set of some low budget sci-fi space thriller.

nearly perfect:

Halle Berry always looks delicious but last night she just rocked Versace with straight-up confidence, zero artifice, the perfect hint of cleavage and an old school, Hollywood glamour.

mind bogglingly bad:

seriously?

Wtf happened to Helena Bonham Carter? Holy smokes. She looks like she left her bucket and mop in the wings and Vivienne Westwood ran an electric toothbrush through her hair.

beyond fine:

But Charlize Theron was just wonderful, really gorgeous in white Dior. Collar bones and dreamy shoulders with an adorable boyish haircut, she reminds that elegance resides within the woman and a good gown is merely showcase. Last night she was the stunner for me.

I liked ARGO, too, I’m glad it took the prize. But I was so disappointed to learn that the final, fantastic, nail-biting SwissAir cop car chase on the tarmac never really happened. aw.
